The four year old pulled at the collar of her dress and flattened the skirt down a little. Phil noticed and kneeled down to child's height.

(Yes Phil is alive. He faked his death and such so he's still alive and everyone was shocked about it and they were happy to see him alive. Deal with it)

"What's wrong, Anna?" He asked, taking the girls hands into his. "I don't like this dress. It's itchy and the bottom won't stay down," She complained. Phil gave her a small frown. "I'm sorry little one." He apologized. "Why do I have to wear it?" "Well, it's your dad's wedding. And you know weddings are really fancy and important right? So, you have to wear a dress because it's fancy and proper and it looks absolutely lovely on you. Do you understand now?" Phil answered, gently patting the child's head. Anna nodded and took Phil's hand as he lead her to her spot, handing her a soft blue pillow with both the rings nestled in the middle. She looked down the isle, looking at everyone, feeling scared at how she didn't recognize any of them. She only recognized the Avengers at the gazebo. The decorations were pretty though, all white and frilly, ribbons lacing the white bench like seats with a few flowers tied around them. And she loved what her Papa was wearing and how he looked.

He wore a white suit, a red cloth tucked into his jacket pocket. Underneath was a white shirt with a black vest over it. To top off the suit, he wore a gold tie with a silver clip.

Tony's hair had also been devoid of all the product and machine oil that kept his hair spiky and up, so it laid downward in a messy sort of fashion. Clint, Thor, Bruce, Fury and Rhodey wore regularly tuxes and she was pleased to notice the Thor still had his hair up in the style she placed it in. Anna had brushed out his hair and tied the topside back, brushed out the bottom side and left it like that. It was weird to see that Thor had approved of a 4 year olds silly hair styles. But then again, Thor approved of nearly everything. Maria, Pepper, Darcy, Jane and Natasha were on the otherside, wearing dresses with American colors on it.

She felt someone wrap their arms around her and give her a kiss on the cheek. Anna looked up to see her father smiling down at her. He wore a simple dark blue tux and a red tie clamped together with a gold clip. His hair had been freshly cut and parted at the side, just like always. "Ready, little one?" He asked, standing up and adjusting his tie. He watched the redhead nod, but noticed that she was shaking. "What's wrong honey? Nervous?" He asked. Anna nodded. "Yeah. I feel like I'm gonna mess up." She answered, shifting her weight. "Don't think about that, ok? You won't, I promise." Steve assured, patting his daughters head. "Daddy... Aren't you nervous too?" Anna asked, looking up to her father with those big adorable eyes. Steve nodded. "Of course I am. It's my wedding day. And there are cameras everywhere. I mean seriously, it's like every news channel in the world is here. And the fact that I'm getting married to your Papa is enough to make anyone jittery! Does it feel warm in here? Yeah it's warm in here! Do we have water?" Steve rambled as he grabbed a cup of water and downed it, wiping at his mouth and brow nervously. Anna laughed at her Daddy and hugged his leg. "It's okay Daddy! You'll do fine!" She said, flashing him a big smile. Steve smiled and shook his head. "And now the tables have turned." He muttered, pausing to here that music was starting to play, queuing him to get moving. "Well! Here we go!" He announced to his four year old, starting down the isle, keeping his eyes anywhere except for at Tony. Anna trailed behind, hearing 'awws' as she passed by. To her, those awws belonged to faceless people. They were people she couldn't name and the number of unknown individuals caused her to become nervous. She gripped her fathers legs and averted her eyes, looking only at Tony who noticed the redheads sudden clinginess to the blonde. His slight worry washed away when his soon to be husband appeared in front of him, slowly looking up to meet his chocolate brown eyes. Tony smiled at Steve and took his hands into his, watching Anna take her place behind the blonde. He listened to the priest begin to speak, fading in and out when he spoke, focusing on his soon to be husbands beautiful eyes. He continued staring until the end of the priest speech.

"Do you, Anthony Stark, take Steven Rogers to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" The priest asked, turning to the genius. Tony smiled and squeezed Steve's hands a little tighter. "I do." He whispered, his voice nearly deaf upon the ears of those around them. The priest turned to Steve next, swallowing before asking him, " And do you, Steven Rogers, take Anthony Stark to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" Steve swallowed thickly and a silence was held over the crowd in an unbearably thick shroud. Everyone waited with bated breath for the blondes response. Steve looked around before meeting Tony's eyes and returning his smile. "I do." He answered. The crowd erupted in cheers as the news reporters clapped and snapped pictures of the newly weds. "Then I pronounce you man and... Man. You may now kiss the... Bride." The priest finished uncertainly. Steve chuckled as Tony grabbed him by the hips, dipped him, and kissed him full on the lips, closing his eyes tight. Anna handed them the rings when they were done and they slipped them on to the others hand, gazing lovingly at each other.

****
Steve had no parents to dance with. Or he didn't really know about that. It would be a little weird. But, he was considered the 'bride'. But who he did have was his darling 4 year old. He ushered her onto the dance floor and he bent himself slightly over, just enough to grab her outstretched arms and dance with her. Although strange, everyone aw'd at father and daughter, watching in adoration as the pair danced together to the music, having Steve kiss her on the forehead when it ended and walking back to Tony, their pride and joy hugging Steve happily in his arms. Once setting the 4 year old down, Tony took him by the hand and led him to the dance floor, taking his turn with his husband and slowly dancing to a song much too romantic and sappy for Tony's taste. And with the rest is the wedding, everything went very well. With the exception of a disruption that no one but Anna knew of.

As the sun was setting, she looked back to the distant forest, watching as the sun cast an orange, yellow and red light between the trees. And that's when she noticed him. He wore a dark, ripped cloak that reached the middle of his back, lined with silver thread. He had on black cargo shorts and a tight muscle shirt, finished off by black gothic boots and fingerless gloves. His deathly silver eyes pierced her, even from the distance they were at. His black hair whipped it's silver tips along with the wind. And he puffed out smoke from the cigarette in his hand.

Anna stared, finding the man familiar and intimidating, but unable to look away. His gaze sent sharp chills down her spine and her eyes were widened in fear from simply gazing at him. The man drew the cancer stick from his lips and breathed out a log drag of smoke. And with a flash of a grin, he disappeared from her eyesight, leaving the 4 year old rooted to her spot before her Uncle Thor grabbed her and hauled her off to the dance floor.

And that man would continue plaguing her thoughts the whole night.

With that simple grin.

Just.

A grin.
