Masquerade

A/N: Hello my readers!!! Sooo, I know the dress and masks aren't the exact same purple, but you're gonna have to cut me some slack. -_- I literally couldn't find a dress and mask that matched, this was the best I can do :( Anyways... enjoy the next segment and please don't forget to vote and please comment! It would mean the world to me <3

xo :) 

It took me a moment to realize my mouth was slightly agape. I closed it hurriedly. I thought Tera looked beautiful the night I arrived from Asgard, but it turns out I underestimated her beauty. She pulled her hair back into an elegant bun, accentuating her facial features. She had done her makeup black and silver, allowing her blue-green eyes to shine, and her long dress was a dark purple. That explained the color of my bowtie.

She walked towards me, timidly, holding two boxes.

"Our masks are in here," she said, gesturing to the larger box.

"What's in there?" I ask, pointing to the smaller box.

"It's something I got. I thought it might bring you suit together."

She hands me the small box and I take it, curious as to what's inside. When I open it, I see a gorgeous black watch with gold accents nestled inside. I take it out, admiring its simplicity.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it dove. Thank you."

She beamed, lighting her face up.

I immediately put it on. She was right. It did bring my suit together.

"Now let's see those masks shall we?"

I help her open the larger box. We are greeted by two purple masks. Mine was more rounded than hers, much simpler. Tera's, on the other hand, had diamonds surrounding the eyes, much more feminine. We helped each other put them on. Then I held out my arm for her, she took it, and together, we headed down, in the elevator.

When we walked outside, we were met by Stark's friend. The roundish one with a goatee. I always forget his name, but that's because it bothers me.

"Hi Happy!" Tera greets him.

Ah yes, that's his name. Yes, I don't like it.

He opened the car door for us, Tera entering before I follow her.

As we drive to the Senator's house, I turn to Tera.

"So, what is it exactly that we will be doing?"

She pulls out an envelope from under our seat and opens it. "We have to sneak into Stern's study, find his computer, and download everything onto this flashdrive."

"That shouldn't be too difficult," I tell her when I detect her nervousness.

"I hope so." She turns to look at me, studying my face. "You look really nice, by the way."

"Of course I do. Did you expect anything less?" I ask her jokingly.

"Maybe a humble thank you?"

I laugh. "Thank you dove. And you look absolutely charming. It's no secret I haven't been able to take my eyes off you."

She turns bright red at my words and looks away. "Of course I do. Did you expect anything less?" she asks, mocking my previous statement.

I grin, but before I am able to tell her no, Happy interrupts us.

"Alright love birds, quit the flirting back there, we're here."
