Who: Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff
What: Take two
Where: Small town TM
When: Today

There was something charming about it, something silly and fun, about going through the doors and finding herself in another life, Natasha hadn't realized it was happening the first time she and Clint had gone through, but in the end it had been something sweet and nice. And she'd hang on to that memory for a long time. So when she had the chance to try it once more with Steve? She'd figured why not? There was no way for her to know if it would end up the same again or if they'd end up somewhere else entirely, all she knew was she was having fun and she deserved some of that in her life.

It was strange to actually have time off this year, well time off wasn't really the right word for it. Natasha felt like she'd been going going going since she'd kicked off the dust of this little town and moved out to LA years ago, she'd expected to have to spend years and years working her way up the ladder, but she'd gotten a lucky break almost right out of the gate, and she'd been an in demand actress ever since. And when you could spend your Christmases in tropical locations, the idea of coming back home where it was snowy and cold didn't always appeal.

But her mother had begged, and Natasha could only stand up to that sort of thing for so long before she caved, and caved she had. So here she was coming home for Christmas.

And just like always, her parents were throwing their annual Christmas party with most of the town invited. Natasha had been making the rounds, letting her mother show her off, when her eyes landed on an all too familiar face. Even after all the years had passed she recognized him and she couldn't help the way she bit her lower lip and gave him a subtle once over before she was crossing the room to greet him. "If it isn't little Steve Rogers all grown up." She teased, as if they hadn't grown up together. "I didn't know you were going to be here, mother is - as always - a little too secretive for her own good."

"Really? Here I thought it might power you these days," he said with an elbow right in her haughty ribs. "Isn't that how they do it in Hollywood?" Steve questioned with raised eyebrows.

He looked around the room, the same people who'd tormented him in highschool, the same people he saw at work, everything all as it should be. Steve liked it here, it fit and somewhere like Hollywood? Well that was for someone like her. "I guess you're used to a bit more excitement," he said as he rocked back on his heels. "Most exciting thing here is we finally got a cinema, so we get to see you on the big screen."

Steve glanced at some of the guys who appeared to be talking about her, maybe gearing up to approach and he cleared his throat. "Can I get you a drink?"
