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.

	Eliza had gone wandering around the ball. She had been curious to take some things in on her own and had stopped to admire some of the decorations. They were very pretty and she had to admit whoever had planned this did a damn good job. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's too generally astute to sneak up on, even for him, but through the somewhat crowded ball he can get close without drawing much notice. "Miss Romanova?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She turns in surprise. She never hid her name but anyone knowing her on sight was just a little weird. "Yes? May I help you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He extends a hand with an envelope. "Soon, yes. Take this, read the contents, and keep it quiet. Not everyone here can be trusted... I wish I could explain more, but not here and now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She tucks it away carefully. She won't be foolish enough to read it in public. "Why me? You don't know a thing about me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know who your parents are, and that you're with the Avengers. That's enough to convince me you'll be discrete, and that you're safe to talk to about this. I'll explain more when I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She's very surprised by this. It doesn't quite show but she nods. "I think I understand. I'll be there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good, just remember, not a word to anyone meanwhile. You'll understand why when you get there." he adds, then turns to leave. (Reply to this)(Parent)
