The girls returned after their lunch and the guys pretended nothing happened. They knew the girls would've been unhappy about it and it would just be too awkward to explain themselves. That night, the girls were sitting in the pool on the roof of the tower. "Let's go out," Natasha comments. "Where to?" Heidi asks. "A club," Wanda adds in. "Tonight?" Pepper questions, "I have work to take care of." "Come on! Since the guys are having poker right now, we can totally sneak away and have some fun of our own," Natasha argues. After talking about it some more, the girls were able to convince Pepper. They got out of the pool and within an hour they were dressed up. Feeling naughty, Pepper calls Happy to get them a limo. He calls them back within twenty minutes saying the limo was here.

Tony, Steve, Bruce, Vision, Thor, Bucky, Sam, and Rhodes have gathered around a large table with cards in their hands and chips close to them. Drinks have been poured and cigars lit. Tony has been dreaming of a dudes' poker night for ages and it's finally happening. As they played for a couple of hours, some of them realized something. "Does it seem quiet to ya'll?" Sam asked out loud. "What do you mean? Don't distract us! If you don't have the winning hand then shut your mouth!" Tony remarks, as he anties up. Rhodes wasn't going to let it go. "Yeah…" He looks around. "Where are the girls?" The question brought the guys to a halt. When it came to the women of the Avengers team…silence means trouble. Tony rolls his eyes and growls with frustration.

"Friday, where is Maximoff, Romanoff, Hendricks, and Potts?" "The ladies have stepped out for the night. Shall I give them a call?" a feminine robotic voice answers. "Uhhh…YEAH! Put Pepper on the line?" Tony takes his cell to his ears. Pepper answers after the fifth ring.

"The liquor bottles are where they always are Tony," the redhead says.

"Where are you?"

"With the girls, why?"

"Tower was quiet so we were wondering if something was up. Checking if you ladies were alive," Stark responds as he eyes the others.

He can hear her talking to the others, "See, I told you it wouldn't take long for them to notice we left." "What was that?" Tony sasses.

"Oh nothing. Just having a girls' night out," Pepper retorts back. "Yeah, stop calling us! You're crapping our style Stark!" Natasha yells in the background, followed by loud laughing.

"Well what if I wanted to see you…later?" Tony asks, again, he looks at the guys sheepishly.

"Oh you'll know where we'll be." Then she hangs up.

"Rude…" Stark mutters to himself. "Does it matter where they're at? They're fine. Let's continue with the game!" Thor yells. "Only because you're winning," Steve answers with a glare. "Ohhh daaammmnnn." Sam held a fist to his mouth while looking at the screen on his phone. "What now?" Steve asks with an annoyed expression. Sam looked like his eyes were going to explode. "So… I know where the girls are at."

He holds his phone out to the guys. The screen shows Natasha's Instagram account. The four girls are in a limo together.

"Is that one of my limos?" Tony roars furiously. They pose in short cocktail dresses and champagne.

"Is that my champagne?" Tony roars again.

The poker game continues but was interrupted numerous times with Sam giving updates on the girls. Finally Natasha shows a photo of where the girls are going. "Rooftop 12?" Steve asks out loud. "Oh. ," Sam said with his mouth open. "What is a Rooftop 12?" Vision asks innocently. "That's the hottest rooftop strip club in the city!" Sam practically screams. "Chill, Sam. Don't even think about it," Steve warns. He turns to his best friend for support but Bucky was gone. "Great…There goes poker night," Tony remarks, looking like he's about to cry. "Come on, might as well all go," Steve adds as the guys walk out of the Tower to catch up with Bucky. "I'll stay here…in case the girls come back," Bruce remarks. He didn't really want to go out to a strip club. Thor and Rhodes stayed behind as well.

Natasha smiles to herself with pride. She knew that as soon as she posted where they were at, the guys would come running. 'This will be fun,' she thought to herself. She turns her phone off and joins Wanda, carrying martinis, to the table they were able to snag in the strip club. Rooftop 12 is the hottest club you want to be in New York. They have cages, S&M rooms, black out rooms, and a huge dance area with the DJ jamming in the middle. People are already jumping practically naked in the pool with the naked mermaid fountain. Right now Nicki Minaj 'Pound the Alarm' literately pounds on the dance floor. Heidi and Pepper are dancing and laughing together. As soon as they saw Wanda and Natasha, they came to the table and all four cheered with their martinis. "To the first official ladies night!" Pepper yells. "WOOO!" the girls scream before taking a swig. "I haven't had this much fun since college!" Pepper shares. "I haven't had this much fun since…well, ever," Wanda adds with a smile. "I'm finishing this drink and I'm hopping on one of those cages," Heidi announces. In three gulps she was done. She slams the glass on the table, nearly shattering it. She makes a break for one of the empty cages as Rhianna 'Birthday Cake' plays.

Before the girls finished their drinks and joined her, Tony, Clint and Vision popped up out of nowhere. "Hi ladies, enjoying the night? All expenses paid for and all," Tony remarks. "What do you mean by that?" Pepper argues with a smirk. "First of all, you stole one of my limos…Second of all, I KNOW you took my credit card…" "What's mine is yours baby," Pepper says, grinning like an idiot. "We're just along for the ride," Natasha adds. "Can it, Romanoff . I know this was your idea!"

"Shall we return to the Tower, Wanda?" Vision asks.

"Aww, but I'm having so much fun."

"Well it's four in the morning and that's probably you're, what, sixth drink?" Clint says.

Wanda can only nod in response; she, too, has a goofy grin on her face. "You won't feel good in the morning. Might as well start off with some rest," Vision tries to reason with the woman. He already noticed her fingers were sparking. "But I want to go into the pool first!" Before she can take off, Clint had hit her in the back of the head, knocking her out cold. "Sorry Wanda," he says. Vision carries Wanda while Clint and Tony had corralled the other two girls back into the limo the girls came in, leaving with Steve, Sam, and Bucky with Heidi.

She let her body go with the beat of the song, feeling the vibrations from the air tickle her skin. The alcohol was kicking in and making her feel light. When was the last time she was letting herself relax like this? Not caring about her surroundings or worrying about Hydra? When the song changed and the beat changes, Heidi climbs out of the cage and gets lost in the throng of the half-naked dancing crowd. "TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!" People screamed. She just closed her eyes and let the song take over her. The loud music deafened her ears and her sense of smell has been tampered with from all the alcohol. Dull. Everything around her has dulled and became numb. 'This feels nice…for once,' she thought.

Then, she feels something firm and cold on her arm. She opens her eyes and turns behind her. Blue eyes glower at her. She slips a hand on his shoulder and leans into him. "Come here often," she says to his ear playfully. "Time to go," he responds. She shakes her head. "Not yet…I can't feel anything…and I like it," she argues. She tries to pull away from him but his metal arm holds her tight. "Come on Heidi, we'll take you back home," Steve says behind her. She twists to face him.

"Captain!" she yells, suddenly giddy.

Steve rolls his eyes annoyingly and runs his hands through his hair. "Just one more song! Please guys!" She looks back at Bucky. "You can join me if you'd like." She starts to sway her hips suggestively to him. The former Winter Soldier was still not smiling but his eyes never strayed from her body. He pulls her closer to him so only she can hear. "As fun as it may be, you need to come home before you lose control of yourself," he says with gritting teeth. Her eyes were starting to lose focus as he spoke, her heart was pumping the alcohol faster after her active dancing, numbing her body. Heidi felt her legs starting to give away but before she could black out Bucky and Steve grab for her. Bucky pulls her up in his arms and the two men leave the dance floor. Steve stops for a moment and yells for Sam. "Sam! Come on man!" Sam was dancing with some girls in go-go outfits. "Sorry ladies, America needs me." "Aww do you really have to go?" they cooed. Sam gives them air kisses. "I'll be back!" he says before leaving with the guys.

After about an hour, the girls were helped into their beds and the guys, exhausted after taking care of them, went to their own rooms. Wanda will never know that Vision had kissed her on the forehead as she fell asleep. Natasha will never know that Clint took a picture of her hotmess-iness for blackmail. Pepper will never know that Tony copped a feel of her butt as she slept. And Heidi will never know that she called Bucky 'James' before she went back to sleep. Hearing his first name from her lips made him feel strange. His heart skipped a beat and his stomach did flipflops.

It wasn't a long time before Heidi heard someone having a bad dream. This time, her ears led her to Steve. He was shaking and looked like he was in pain. Bucky must've heard him too because he came in and shook him to wake up. Steve's eyes popped open and almost took a hit at Bucky but he was able to hold him. He was breathing heavily as if he had been running all day.

"It's ok. It's me."

Steve's eyes snap to Heidi and Bucky and back at her, as if he's trying to figure out his surroundings. "You were dreaming Steve," she says quietly. His breathing calmed when he realized he was ok. Heidi cocks her head to the side, gesturing to the door. "Come on, I'll make some tea. Doesn't look like we'll be going back to bed for a while," she says.

The two men follow her to the kitchen. She heats up a pot of water and preps three cups of herbal tea. Her companion, Alexi, comes up and rubs against her lovingly. She pets his head in return. The wild cat turns to the two men and hisses at Bucky.

"Fucking cat," he mumbles to himself.

Heidi tried to hide her smile. "I'm sorry. Alexi can be quite jealous." "He seems to like T'Challa," Steve points out. "Because T'Challa gave him to me as a birthday gift a few years ago. He was an orphan and was going to be taken to a zoo in China but T'Challa took him in and he's been with me ever since. Since he's always with me and I visit T'Challa a lot he has grown very fond of him. He'll grow to like you both in due time." Bucky didn't hide the roll in his eyes. The pot began to hiss and Heidi takes it off the heat and pours the warm water onto the teabags in the cups.

"Sorry about earlier guys. It started out just us girls having fun but I think I took it too far with the alcohol…It just felt nice to not feel anything. Without the sensory overload and the headaches I get." "We understand. Glad you girls had a good time though," Steve remarks. She hands the cups to the guys and the three of them sit together on a couch and sip quietly, being in their own thoughts but being physically comforted by the company. Alexi hops on Heidi's lap and curls in a ball. The herbal tea slowly works its magic and the trio were able to finally fall asleep. Steve sleeps on one end of the couch with his head resting on his hand, Heidi rests her head on his shoulders with her legs crossed under her, and Bucky with his arms crossed and head on Heidi's shoulder. The next morning, the first person to witness the cute moment was unfortunately Tony. He took a photo and posted it on his Instagram feed.
