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.

	"C'mon you two. If my ego gets any bigger, Anya will be required by sibling law to bring me down before the night's over, and she'll have plenty of help." He squeezed Lyta's hand on his arm. "It's a great party so far, Mom. Lots of toys for the kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Praise where praise is due," Natasha said with a smile. "It is. I'm just hoping there won't be any incidents this year. And I think it's time I go hassle my other children and see what they're getting into." She kissed Misha's cheek. "I want a dance later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I wasn't here either." He'd been the guest of Red Room, shown streaming footage of his loving family having a good time at the party while Alexi Shostakov had him tied down and subjected to electro-shock treatments.

Misha shook off the twinge in his head at the memory. "Mom can be nice, but the trick is to never forget she's still the Black Widow. Would you like to dance?"

	"I won't. She could probably shoot me and not even blink.... not that I'd think she'd shoot me. I hope." Lyta smiled. "I'd love to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-22 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not sure she wouldn't shoot me without blinking if I got in her way," he said, only a little serious. He smiled at one more passing couple before guiding her out onto the dance floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta raised an eyebrow. "I certainly hope that she wouldn't shoot you." "Fair warning," she said as they made their way to the dance floor, "I'm a little rusty." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's why I lead and you follow, honey," Misha said as he drew her into his arms and made the first steps. "Just like it is when we're out on a mission." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-22 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"On the dance floor, yes. On a mission..." she smirked, "That's another story." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-12-22 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Even more so on a mission. You might be a tad bit rusty there, too." He twirled them around quickly, muscle memory on and his brain focused on the crowd around them and his partner. "But you'll catch on fast again. You always did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
