Steve was frozen in place for the entire duration of the song. He hadn’t even noticed her look at him, if he had he probably would have blushed or looked anyway in embarrassment. It had been a long time since Steve had heard this song. Even during the war it had been sometime since he’d had access to anything that played it and since he’s been back he’s been too focused on listening to new music than to go back to the songs he loved from his time.

When the song eventually ended Steve didn’t know what to do. He wanted to go over and speak to the girl, tell her how wonderful her performance was. But deep down he was still just a shy kid, how could he just go over and speak speak her? So he rose to his feet, with the intention of leaving. But just as he stood up he saw a large man staggering over to the woman. His words were slurred and his tone harsh. 

That did not sit well with Steve at all. He could see the man reach for her, but Steve made moved quick to stop that from happening. Grabbing the mans wrist before he could make contact with her in anyway. “The young woman just perfectly performed a lovely song, why don’t you show her the respect she deserves?” The man turned and almost immediately threw a punch Steve’s way. What followed was rather predictable. Steve ducked the punch, grabbed the man by the collar, turned him away from the woman and knocked him out cold. By this point his hat had fallen and the whole club was very aware of who he was.

But Steve didn’t care, his only focus was making sure she was okay. “Hey, are you alright? He didn’t hurt you did he?” He said in a calm but concerned tone to the young woman.

Alison would describe herself as a tough girl. She had never had issues sticking up for herself before. Drunk men who didn’t know that know meant no, however... They were a whole other business. This man was particularly large as well as handsy. She tried to slip away from him, but before she had too much trouble, a man stepped in. 

A smile set on her lips briefly, before it quickly disappeared as the first punch was thrown. Then the second. When his hat fell she was a little surprised to realize who the man was and a little embarrassed that she hadn’t realized it sooner. 

“N-No. I’m fine... He didn’t hurt me,” she replied, her tone soft as she looked up at him.

It had been over a year since Steve had returned to the land of the living, a year since the events that brought the Avengers together. He’d learned and adapted to a lot of what this modern world had to offer in that time. He’d made a list of things he’d missed and slowly but surely was experiencing each thing, immersing himself in all that he’d slept through. While he was becoming more comfortable in this new world, there was still a part of him that felt like a stranger, like he didn’t fully belong.

He often wandered the streets at night, the quiet of his apartment was sometimes deafening. Usually he’d find a bar or restaurant he’d never been to before and on this night he found a little club. He wore a hat, low down on his face so no one would look twice at him as he found a seat and ordered a drink as the performer came onto the stage. Steve had expected some modern song, perhaps one he’d heard on the radio recently. But no, he was shocked to hear the most beautiful version of ‘The Way You Look Tonight’. It made his whole world stand still for a few minutes. He felt transported back to his home. His eyes focused on the girl singing, she was breathtaking now that he was finally really looking at her. 

Right then and there he knew there was something special about her. Just by the way her voice made his heart dance.

Alison had felt... Well, she’d felt rather off for the last few weeks. She felt like she wasn’t getting anywhere with her music. She had to wonder if maybe her father was right. Was she wasting her time? Would she have made a better lawyer that an entertainer? She couldn’t help but shutter at that thought. She may not be very successful, but she knew she was quite a bit happier this way.

It was a Tuesday. That meant she had a gig at Mama’s, a little club downtown that paid her $20 to pay the whole night. It wasn’t much, but it was better than what she got at most places. Her bus was late, which meant she wasn’t on time as normal. The owner was understanding, thankfully. 

She quickly set up her guitar, but first took her place at the piano. “Hi guys,” she started, leaning in close to the mic. “I’ve been playing here for a while now... but in case you don’t know me I’m Alison.” She played a few chords, biting her lip for a moment before continuing. “I’ve had quite the week... So I thought I would start off a little differently than normal.”

Letting out a soft hum, she closed her eyes and began on the lyrics. “Some day, when I’m awfully low... When the world is cold... I’ll feel a glow just thinking of you and the way you look tonight.” Her brown hues opened again and she looked out at the crowd. Most weren’t paying attention but one man seemed fixated. It made her blush a little. “Yes, you’re lovely... With your smile so warm... There is nothing for me but to love you, and the way you look tonight.”

He was certain that his cheeks were flushed red, but he just shrugged, giving her a small smile. “You’re nice company,” he said, voice trailing off. “It’s just nice having you around, s'all. I’ll miss seeing you, I guess.”

“Nice company... Right.” Alison cleared her throat a little, readjusting herself on her seat. “Maybe... Maybe I should go. Like I said. Early flight, so...”

“A few?” He asked, his tone teasing. He shook his head, giving her a sincere smile as he held eye contact. “I’ll miss you too, really.” His smile switched to a playful one. “For multiple reasons,” he tacked on, laughing.

“Oh yeah?” Alison pushed, tilting her head the other way. “Like what, then? Why’re you gonna miss me?” Alison was never one to avoid compliments, especially when she had been drinking.

He nodded along to her words, laughter bubbling up. He finished mixing the drink and set in front of her, leaning on the bartop. “Oh?” He asked, lifting a brow. “Is that the only reason you’ll miss me? I knew there had to be a reason you kept hanging around,” he joked, the corners of his mouth tugging up into a smile.

“Eh, I guess there’s a few reasons...” Alison’s cheeks flushed as she grabbed her drink, taking a quick sip before setting it back down. She looked back up at him, chewing on her bottom lip.

The young woman has to have some kind of extreme luck, as Peter’s a bit astonished to be suddenly spoken to. He has his earbuds in, is casually strolling towards the subway system listening to whatever his spotify account chose to play. It’s right between songs when he’s spoken to, the moment the noise of the city comes back to him. 

“Uh - sure? I can try?” Peter doesn’t know if there’s really another response someone could give, considering how lost the other seemed.

“I’m just... I’m lost,” she said, shooting a sort of hopeless smile his way. “I’m looking for this bar?” She pulled up the name of the place on her phone, biting her lower lip. “I’ve just never been in this area before... At least not recently. Anyway, is it just down this way.... And then past there?” she asked, pointing on the map she had.

He nodded. He understood her reasoning. He had never intended to live life rooted in one place but it was how it had worked out. “That’s some pretty sound logic,” he chuckled. “Coming right up,” he said, grinning, moving to mix the drink.

“I try, I try...” Alison brushed her fingers through her long, curly locks and watched him mix. “I really am gonna miss you, you know... A lot. No one else makes drinks as strong as yours,” she teased.

He shrugged, lifting one shoulder. There was once a time where he’d wanted a life like hers, one in constant movement, but that felt like a lifetime ago. “I guess you stay one place so long it gets kinda hard to move,” he said. It was the easiest way of putting it. “Lucky? I guess so,” he laughed, grinning at her.“ He nodded his head. "Probably not the best idea, but it is an idea.”

“See? And I haven’t stayed in the same place in a long, long time... I just don’t wanna miss anything, or have any regrets. No settling down.” She drummed her fingertips against the bar, considering the choices she had. “One more. For a friend.”
