Rating: TBD

Pepper had gotten to Ellis Island to oversee the set up for the party at 7AM. The caterers arrived an hour later. Then she began to direct the whole mess as if she were choreographing a ballet. Anyone who has seen her at work with something like this can't help but step back and watch in awe.

By the time 3PM rolled around and the first guests began to arrive everything was set up. There were no less than three dance floors. One with a band to play Big Band/1940s music. One with a standard DJ for the younger crowd. And one with a piano bar for a more traditional dancing and talking atmosphere. There was a dining area with two full bars, all manner of food and drink and tables of various size for groups or couples. There was a VIP section for the Avengers and their extended friends and relatives.

Pepper was currently wandering around greeting people and welcoming them.

If Pepper Potts had a fanclub, then the current president would be Tony Stark. She had a fine eye for detail and he always appreciated that. It didn't take long to make his way to her side, where he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek followed by a cheeky grin.

"You outdid yourself. Way better than the times I tweeted the address and told people to show up."

Considering that he once added #ClothingOptional onto one of those tweets, this much more adult party was a whole lot classier, and a whole lot less Bacchanalian.

Before she could berate his life choices from over a decade ago, he quickly added, "Gonna be busy with all the meet and greets? Want some company?"

	Pepper immediately slid her arm through Tony's as she leaned in to kiss his cheek. "Thank you. And I should certainly hope I did better than you." Her arm tightened against his. "Yes, please. And make sure I get to the VIP section soonish." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I know I set the bar pretty high. You're gonna say I set it too low. But, you know, it's subjective. Eye of the beholder stuff. Don't get judgy."

He looked around at the party goers, trying to get his bearings. He had a glass of champagne in his hand and raised it in the direction of the VIP area.

"That way," he said, guiding her arm in arm. As he smiled and nodded their way through some acquaintances, he told Pepper, "You know, this' the sorta thing Cap's gonna shy away from. I think you just wanted to throw an America themed explosives party that just happens to be on his birthday. Meanwhile, he's digging a hole and probably trying to scoop the dirt back in over himself."

Just in case, Tony brought Steve's gift anyway.

"Oh, honey," Pepper said in that pleasant tone that said she was about to be as sarcastic as priest in a bar. "Back then your bar was so low even an ant couldn't have limbo'd under it." She chuckled as she kissed his cheek again.

Pepper went with Tony. Unfortunately, them together reminded people that they were engaged so they were delayed by hearty congratulations before they could really escape.

"No, see this is his birthday present," Pepper said with that sly look on her face. "Everyone who might annoy him about it is here leaving him the ability to do whatever he wants without harassment."

Cornholes were not what he thought they were and he imagined that Mantis was going to be disappointed as well. He expected some part of the plant known as corn to be punched out of it and cooked until it was a delectable. He never imagined that cornhole was a game. A game that included a contest of tossing instead of eating holes.

Before he took his first turn, a hungry Drax ripped one open to see the corn inside, and felt cheated that there were dried beans instead. Which he ate until the contest judge yelled at him to knock it off and go get some hot dogs before it was his turn.

After he had obtained many hot dogs, Drax was approaching the game of cornhole with his usual gusto. He won a round against a teenager and promptly bellowed in his best friendly sore winner voice, "I HAVE BESTED YOU! ADMIT YOUR DEFEAT, NEW FRIEND!"

Laughing, Drax shoved an entire hot dog in his mouth and almost choked while chewing it, when too much mustard turned the bun to putty.

"Whoa there, fellow. I wouldn't swallow them whole, if I were you."

Hope approached then, hoping she wasn't too late and that Drax the Destroyer (snort) hadn't managed to choke to death yet - but it looked like he was going to live to see another day; she patted his back to dislodge the heated canine he'd consumed and came around to properly say hello.

Parties were fun, sometimes. She was used to having to work them with her 'charm,' but that had been for business purposes. This was for socialization - and hey, Scott pretty much pissed his pants everytime he got to talk to Steve Rogers so she was sure he'd want to come to the guy's 100th birthday party. Hope had dressed appropriately for the event, her outfit a striped sundress - red, blue, brown, and ivory with a red trim around the bodice and a line of buttons. Her hair was pulled up into a bouncy ponytail, and she wore nude heels - a block heel, luckily, so she didn't have to kill her feet by teetering around on hypodermic-needle points.

"Want some?" she asked, holding out her bowl of berry cobbler. "In case you haven't tried any dessert yet."

A glob of yellow flew out of Drax's mouth and landed through the hole of the beanbag board. The visibly disgusted referee called out, "That doesn't count! And I'm not cleaning that out!"

Drax, who was notoriously bad at socializing, was past caring about any messes. A friendly and known face was offered a taste of a dessert, a word he learned all about from the Food Network. He forgot all about cornhole games or what happened seconds before as he tried a bite.

"Hope, this is delicious," he proclaimed with gusto. "Tart and sweet at the same time. What is this masterful dessert made of?"

Although he would entirely destroy a kitchen in the process, Drax was eager to take up cooking and make an appearance on the culinary battle known as Chopped. A name that he heartily approved of, enough that he would purse his lips and nod a lot every time the TV show started.

Hope had never seen anyone so excited by a patriotic dessert before. She chuckled, pleased that she seemed to have recommended another hit - Drax looked to have enjoyed the hot dogs too, considering the way he'd inhaled them eagerly. 'Eagerly' being an understatement.

"Fresh berries and sugar, and the biscuit part is mainly flour and more sugar and...probably loads of butter," she replied. So not the healthiest thing, no, but who really cared? Personally, her intense training regimen allowed her to splurge every now and then - besides, she wasn't the type to religiously count carbs anyway. Life was too short.

Well. Since her cobbler was now gobbled up... "Want to find some more?" she nodded in the direction she'd come from. "The dining area has all sorts of goodies."

	The woman who materialized on the neighboring barstool was not particularly tall, and her clothes covered much more skin. But she was at least as striking as Bobbi—for being blue. "Is there where there are intoxicants?" muttered Nebula through partially gritted teeth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
