Hey this is Eli. This is yet another chapter and this update will have more how do you say "profound" yaoi instead of hints. well anyway enjoy this chapter.
Steve was getting ready for dinner Tony set up for them. Steve was fixing his hair while he was in conflicts. He knew that his new found feeling for Tony was a sin that his family and society had told him, along with numerous generations. It also didn't help with the factor of their dangerous lifestyle. But he couldn't feel happy that he might have a chance to tell Tony about his feelings for him.
"Once upon a time, a place unknown; there was a dream"
Steve stops and start to look around. That voice was out of nowhere and he was the only one in the room. But he waited a while to see if the voice would come back and say something again. "Jarvis, did you say or heard anything?" Steve ask. He figure that if he wasn't starting to hear things then Jarvis would be then only one to help. "No Mr. Roger, but Mr. Stark and the rest of your team are ready. Including the Nato team too." Steve felt a little disappointment starting to grow inside his heart. He was hoping that he and Tony would be alone for dinner. He put on his blazer and head out to the communal floor.
Everyone was wearing formal attire just like he was. All the guys were wearing similar suits while the ladies was wearing silk dresses provided by Tonia's fashion designer. The dresses were all different by color than design of the dress. Natasha's were black, Topanga was green, Tonia's is pink, Pepper was amber, and Luna was blue. Topanga, Natasha, and Pepper look stunning while Tonia and Luna look adorable with their dresses. Though Steve was slightly uncomfortable with the way Tonia was showing her chest while the other girl was covered up. He knew Topanga was an adult but he also know that Tonia was still a child, whether she could fight or not.
"Come now, we'll be late if we don't hurry up." Tony said as he whisks them out of the Avenger tower and into the limo that was park in front of the building.
Steve notices that Cheshire wasn't with them as he enter the limo. When he was seated he turn to see that Cheshire was already inside the limo. His feature was the same but the coloration of skin and eyes was difference so that they look normal. Steve looks at Thor, Clint, then Tony, and they actually look nice. The feeling that was pulling his heart was lifted as he was with his friends. That itself made Steve feels a bit better about forgetting about his feelings
Director Fury was at the CDC as he was requested to take assessments of any possibilities of anything gone missing or spills. He was in the lobby as he looks over files and surveillance footage and saw a scientist getting killed by a mysterious assailant. As he continues to watch the footage he notice the male hasn't been confronted by any infected. He follows the mysterious male as he meets another person to who look like the same person that was defeated on the rooftop. The mysterious male was talking to the other male before moving with the infected.
On another set of security camera he saw the male forcing the door open. A scientist was seen by the angle of the camera as Director Fury witness the assailant infecting the scientist. The assailant came out of the room with a messenger bag that seems to contain something from the room he just comes out from.
"Who are you?" Director Fury asks himself as he continue to watch the mysterious male through the footage. The assailant finally looks up to the camera. The assailant's skin was unusually dark and was pair with piercing eyes that was colored bright orange. That was all director Fury saw as the camera suddenly showing static, assuming that it was destroyed.
Director Fury sighed, he heard someone was coming up to him. Shield's decontamination unit was in the building, this one seems to carry something important to Fury. "This file was scan and reprinted due to the original copy have been disposed of for decontamination." Fury took the file and begin looking through it but he doesn't understand what he was looking at. A soldier came up to him saying there was some materials account missing, and the soldier came Fury the list of missing material from this facility.
The restaurant was nice. Five star restaurant that wasn't too far from the Avenger tower. The avenger got out of the limo and head for the restraint. Steve was the last to leave the limo when Tony stop him. "Wait here." Tony said, he shut the door of the limo with Steve in it. Steve took a good second before he realize something and stayed in the limo.
Tony was in front of the group, checking in with the hostess to get a table. "Ok just follow me." The hostess said before escorting the whole group to their reserved table. Tony took this as he just head for the front back to the limo. The Avengers, Draco, and Cheshire couldn't help but smile as they try to pretend that they didn't notice Steve or Tony wasn't with them.
"Twenty bucks say that they'll have butt sex before the night is over." Cheshire set the bet. "Just the way Tony seems to be, I'll but a forty saying he would before we even finish this dinner." Tonia add to the bet earning a high fives from Topanga and Cheshire.
"You're making Tony like a man whore." Bruce defends Tony but earn a glance from Natasha.
"Guess we'll just see about that." Draco said, just before a waiter came to their table.
Steve was taken back as he saw that they've stop in front of an Italian restaurant. It has a more sophisticated atmosphere then any fancy restaurants he been to in the past. Tony led Steve into the restaurant and checks them in by the host and was escort to a private area of the restaurant where the paparazzi wouldn't get to them.
Director Fury was getting concerns. He notice that there's connection to the Nato team so he head back to his head quarter and sat quietly in the conference room. He was still trying to piece together the situation. He then start to review the background of the Nato Initiative that he was given access to. As he was digging deeper into the teams file he came across a firewall. This struck Fury with uneasy feelings. He was denied access to the background of each Nato Initiative background. The only thing that he gotten as background information was the countries that each of the members are from. Director Fury now doubted the Nato Initiative. Director Fury decides to wait a bit longer to start questioning the team and continue to serve assistance to the team.
"So how do you describe your comrades as brothers in arms or like family?" Thor ask to Luna after everyone had given their orders to the waiter. Luna tries to come up with an answer but no words seem to come while she had a shade of blush forming. Thor notices that some of the other team was showing blushes on their cheeks.
"We think we're family but-"Topanga said but she also couldn't voice out her words.
It was Cheshire that was able to explain, finishing parts that the girls were trying to explain. "We're lot closer then brothers in arm, but were not family either. Family doesn't do what we do with one another." Cheshire said.
The Avengers stare at the Nato team as they were trying to piece together what Cheshire meant. But as soon as Cheshire finish explaining Natasha already figure out the meaning of his explanation while the males were still trying to figure it out. But when Cheshire wrap an possessive arm around Draco shoulder and Tonia did with Luna the rest of the Avenger suddenly came to a realization Natasha had a while ago. The Nato team let out laughs. The Avengers suddenly was able to actually took the time to listen to the laugh. The laughs were genuine and innocent like a bunch of carefree children. The Avenger were really curious on how and why the Nato team are doing such dangerous jobs.
"Just because." was their answer and quickly change the subject. As they receive their meal that the waiter had
Tony and Steve had order pasta when the waitress came for their order. After it was taken they wait until the foods arrive. The whole time that they were eating and drinking wine the two was quiet. But Steve didn't mind about the silence between the two. He was content that he was in a fancy Italian restaurant with Tony and no one was bothering them.
"I wanted to say sorry." Tony said without giving Steve a glance.
Steve suddenly remember the events that happen at the rooftop from yesterday. He suddenly remember how helpless he felt and thought that he was going to lose Tony. "You almost didn't make it." Steve said, the emotions that was wielding up begins to make Steve feel overwhelm.
Tony saw these emotions that were going through Steve and he grab Steve's hand. "I know; how the hell I should know he would go for my center plate. But I'll be more careful because you're not getting rid of me that easily." Tony promised. The remark made Steve chuckle. The two then stare at each other's eyes for about a few seconds. While staring Tony begins leaning towards Steve. Steve knew what Tony was going for and close the space between them. Lips lightly touch each other sensing sensation though Steve's spine. The kiss didn't last long before Tony pulled away.
A waitress came with their bill, Tony gave her his credit card and she left to do the transaction. After the transaction the waitress returns with Tony's credit card and the two head out for the limo. From the restaurant to the limo Tony was entwining his figure with Steve's. Which he didn't let go of when they enter the limo to pick up the rest of the Avenger and the Nato team.
When they arrive Tony open the Limo door to find that the two team were waiting outside for them "Guess they didn't go straight home after dinner for the sex." Natasha said to Tonia's ears everyone begins to file in the limo to head back to the tower.
When half of the group was inside the limo a woman had bump into Thor. Thor tries to help the woman up but she quickly got herself up and continue running. Thor was confuse on the woman's behavior but Cheshire sense something "Something's not right." Cheshire said the parrot that was with him flew off his shoulder and landed on Draco's shoulder. Cheshire begin running after the woman. "I'll meet you back at the tower, I'll be back." Cheshire scream as he was running. Cheshire was easily was lost in the crowd from the Avenger's sight.
