A Charity Gala to End Whatever Important Thing

[ngm_miscellaneous]

New York City high society had been absolutely buzzing over this April's charity gala by a certain Mr. Tony Stark. It was seen as exclusive, or as exclusive as his 200 person guest list could be. Some invitations were a given, like Tony's daughter Alexa, whereas others came from what the party planners figured as the right people to make the party memorable or talked about.

The charity event was for the charitable arm of Stark Inc., Stark International. Despite being for charity, it was also seen as a good way for businesses to be seen and network.

The event was held at the Hudson in the Library and Private Park space. It would comfortably fit the people into its 2,600 Square Feet.

Norman was bored with being human after ten minutes. Stella's dress was amazing but he got the distinct impression that this party needed a pick-me-up. Something to liven it up.

Like a molotov cocktail and a few grenades bit of dancing.

"Stella, would you like to dance?" he asked.

"Mr. Osborn, I would love to," she says cordially, taking his lead onto the floor. She spots a vaguely familiar figure in yellow and silver as the dance begins. "Is that Tina Frost over there? Looks like we're not the only ones who've taken a new turn in our lives; she's been out of this scene a while."

Norman looks over and, sure enough, Christina Frost is entering the room in a very nice gown.

"We haven't seen her since Italy, right? Was she seeing someone back then? Stan? Or was it Sven?" Norman asked. He was bad with the names of unimportant people.

He twirled Stella once as the music picked up and smiled.

"Would you like to go and catch up with her?"

"Jake, Sir," she reminds as she's gracefully whirled. "I doubt it lasted, and I certainly don't see him here. I'd be happy to." She's enjoying the moment on the floor and in his arms, though.

Tina didn't readily notice Stella or Norman, though an acquantaince of her mother's stopped and said hello. Tina managed to maintain politeness.

Norman smiled at Stella and slowly guided her over to Tina. When they finally appeared in front of her, Norman stopped to regard her.

"Christina Frost, is that you?" he asked.

Frost? Erin picks that up as she tries breaking away from a conversation. Huh. Good to know one of the Frosts is in New York. If her Mother taught her anything it was to at least learn names.

She doesn't want to care. She just wants to get through a family obligation with little fuss.

Stella just waits for Tina, looking pleasant. She thinks she spots an ambassador's daughter over there, word is she may be a mutant. But that's all just filed away.

[notmadeofglass]

Well. She'd gone longer than she expected without being recognized. Tina's lips curve into a smile and she looks first at Stella and then at Norman.

"Hello, Norman."

"You look lovely, of course. How are you doing this evening?" he asked.

"You remember Stella Cicero, my assistant, don't you?"

Norman's phone beeped and he took it out to look at it. He nodded.

"Ladies, I'm sorry but I have to take this. I'll be back ASAP." he said, heading toward the men's room.
