I Could Have Danced All Night
The grand ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel on 57 East 57th street was festively decorated for the holidays. A series of lit candles on every table gave off warm light and the dulcet tones of a jazz ensemble filled the room.

People, the upper elite of New York society, Hollywood celebrities, musicians, politicians and New York’s own superheroes moved around the room. People sat at tables and talked, while some moved gracefully around the large dance floor.

Tables loaded with unwrapped and unopened toys lined one wall and at one end stood a very large decorated Christmas tree. Wrapped presents sat under the tree, but they were just empty boxes wrapped for decoration. Mistletoe hung from the ceiling near the tree and people stopped to kiss.

The air was light and the mood happy and festive.

	"Yeah. Dad's kept a couple of the cardboard shields that I made, I've seen him." He gave her a small smile. "Would you like to dance?" Might as well ask. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait was a deep shade of red as she walked with him out to the dance floor. "So are you an Avenger, or have you decided to not join the family business?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Charlie laughed, twirling her under his arm. "I'd correct his statement... but I'm afraid I'd slapped. I wouldn't want to offend you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
