I stepped forward trying to not make eye contact with anyone in a particular, I reached down to a copy of the menu that was sitting on the table in the middle of the circle of couches and then held out it out if anyone wanted to take a look.

'Can I start anyone with some drinks?' I asked probably a little too quietly, but none of them seemed to mind, and all starting shouting out their orders, their eyes slowly leaving me as they each called out their order.

I tried to mentally remember all of their orders, before turning to leave I was stopped by Tony Stark who leant out and pulled me back so I was almost up against his chest, his eyes looked me up and down before he added, 'Bring an extra whiskey back up with you'

I nodded quickly, before taking a step back and practically running down the stairs, it was going to be a long night with the Avengers upstairs. I walked into the bar, grabbing one of the trays from under the counter, and slamming it down on the bench.

'Tough night already?' Alex said, coming up behind me, 'Want me to help with their orders?'

I rolled my eyes at this comment before I nodded, reeling back over their orders, and then asked me to help with the spirits, whilst I poured the beers for who I was assuming was Captain America, I couldn't remember their actual names except for Tony's.

I piled up my tray, before I headed up, taking a quick shot of vodka that Alex had offered me. I felt my hand shake slightly at the weight of the tray as I walked up the staircase that seemed to become steeper since my last use.

I reached the top landing, noticing they had all positioned themselves around the centre of the room on the variety of silver and black couches.

I took a step forward placing the tray down on the table, I knew I had gotten all the drinks right but now that I was in the middle of their circle I couldn't for the life of me remember which one belonged to who.

I seemed to tremble slightly as their eyes all turned to face me again. I took a deep breathe and then started rambling through their orders passing the drinks to each one, trying to avoid eye contact but offering a slight smile to each of them.

'Lucky last, the Budweiser ?' I said holding it out for the brunette guy, sitting toward the outside of the circle. I didn't seem to wanna look over in my direction but held out his gloved hand. I thought it was odd he was wearing a glove when it was so warm inside but shrugged it off, maybe he felt the cold a little too much?

I took a step back and let them mingle again amongst themselves, trying my hardest to not stare at any of them in particular, but my eyes kept going back to the gloved man. He seemed to only be talking to one of them, Captain America.

I stepped forward when Tony came up next to me, wanting another round of drinks, he placed his arm around my shoulder, 'another round for everyone please gorgeous' he said, offering me a wink. I took a step back as he headed back to his seat and turned to face captain America.

'I'm sorry about Tony he tends to get a little carried away once he starts drinking' he offered an apology. 'I'm Steve by the way' he held out his hand and I quickly shook it to not appear rude.

'Thank you, it's Alli' I offered my name, before turning to grab the next round of drinks for everyone. My heart raced slightly at seeing the brunette man staring at me as I walked down the staircase.

I walked back upstairs with another round of drinks for everyone. This must have been their 9th or 10th round for the night, most of them were well past tipsy, some of them had already started dancing wildly around the balcony, and I'm pretty sure a few of them had started stripping and used the pillars as stripper poles.

I placed the tray down in the middle of the room, offering them all their next round. They were all laughing and trying to out best each other over a game of truth or dare. I rolled my eyes at their antics, and stifled a laugh, it was funny to see the all mighty Avengers, acting like drunken fools, the same as any one of us mere average humans.

'Come on Frosty, you're practically a virgin again, you need to find someone already' I heard Tony start to cajole the man I had dubbed a mystery.

I saw him shake his head, 'yeh sure Tony one day' he tried brushing off the comment, knowing it was probably just because Tony was drunk.

'When's your birthday? I'll hire you a pretty hooker' Tony said again slapping his arm around his shoulder.

Frosty shook his head not wanting to give in. I sighed I felt the urge to want to know more even the simple fact of when his birthday was. I sighed to myself what was going on in my mind.

'His birthday is March 10th' Black Widow screamed out, and everyone turned to look at her. 'What it was my job to find out everything about him, he's almost 100 years old too!' She exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air as if to be throwing Confetti.

MARCH 10th?! my mind started racing as my right hand went to touch my hip, right over where my soulmate mark was. My heart started racing, and my mind started calculating what was happening, if he was 100 years old he must have been born in 1917...

'Ok OK yes I'm almost 100 years old, I was born in 1917' I heard him saying trying to hush down what was happening as everyone's voices started getting louder.

'MARCH 10 1971'

The date kept ringing in my head, as I tried to put the pieces together, once I heard him say the date I dropped my tray with a loud clutter and raced down the stairs needing to find a way to get fresh air.

I saw Alex and Chris stare at me as I raced out the back door near the bar and I found myself in the side alley next to the club. My breathing had started to hitch and my hand found its way to my chest as if it tried to slow down my heart racing as I collapsed on the floor.

I stood there too deep in my thoughts to notice the foot steps in the gravel as they approached me. I looked up seeing him standing in front of me. He seemed a little uncertain and I wanted to step forward and try and offer a sense of comfort for him.

'I'm sorry about my friends back there' he said, taking a step forward, holding his hand out, offering to help me back up to my feet.

I reached up to take it, and the moment our hands connected I felt a spark rush between us, we both stood there looking at each other.

'What was that!?' I heard him mutter, his eyes darting between his hand and mine.

'It must be the soulmate thing' I said out loud without even thinking anything of it. My eyes looked up to his.

'Soulmate thing?!' He shook his head, 'it's
Probably just a weird coincidence, probably some
Electric charge in the area' he tried to brush it off.

'Not possible' I said standing my ground becoming slightly defensive. 'You're birthday is March 10 1917 right?'

He nodded, his eyes looking me and up down like I was crazy.

' my soulmate mark is your birthday, you're meant to have a similar tattoo but with my birthdate' I said shaking my head in frustration. I knew this had to be right, surely the universe couldn't be playing a trick on me. It seemed to be so right.

'I'm really sorry, but I don't have a soulmate mark' he said taking a step back, seeming a little uncertain.

I felt a tear run down my cheek,come on Alli don't cry Infront of him, I thought but I couldn't stop them, feel a slight tug at my heart as I realised I was being rejected.

I shook my head in frustration as he leaned forward to offer me some comfort in the form of a quick hug.

'I need to go' he said abruptly, pulling away from me, leaving the Alley way quickly. I turned to watch him leave feeling so hopeless as I let him run away.

'Alli what's going on?!' I turned to see Chris standing behind me, 'I sent one of the other girls
To cover for you'

I turned to face him, 'I finally found him' I knew he would understand what I was referring to, and he took a step forward and scooped me up in his arms.

'Come on, you have to tell us everything' he said holding me as he guided me back inside. I smiled to myself as I ran over the image of him in my mind as we headed back in
