Epilogue:

About 2 months later

Prom night happened in the high school gymnasium, and most of the students were having the time of their lives. The crew was scattered talking with friends, but a few gathered in a corner, waiting for the good moment to invade the dance floor. Experience had taught them that near-professional dancers had a tendency to make the others feel inadequate, especially in public gatherings. Tony had invited himself over for the night as the DJ –the headmaster had to agree, Iron Man was one of the bests DJs out there, but he was one of the most expensive –and was feeding a slowly-rising fire in the room. For all his boasting, he could detect the general mood like no-one and put the right tracks to keep them dancing. It did help that half of the school knew Stark's reputation, and were naturally overexcited to see him for real.

"He sure knows how to throw a party," Rhodey remarked, observing his classmates having the time of their lives. "You think he's going to throw in one of his classics?"

Jasper laughed out loud, pointing at the crowd:"Look at our resident genius! I knew he was pinning for his lab partner!"

Bruce and the infamous Betty Ross were dancing awkwardly close to each other. Although the former was infinitively more graceful than the latter, it was obvious that Bruce didn't move as fluidly as he usually would.

"Shame Clint can't join, he'd be laughing his head off." Rhodey glanced at Maria. "You are recording everything, aren't you?"

"He's with Natasha at home, doing stuff I don't want to know about. And yes, I asked someone to take care of it," the brunette replied. She looked good in her dark blue dress. "Since her parents decided to leave her behind, she'll be staying at the warehouse."

"Yeah…" Jasper muttered. "More doe-eyes and love everywhere. Can't wait to be smothered by fluff and kisses."

"You're just annoyed you still don't have a girlfriend," Rhodey retorted with a smirk.

Maria rolled her eyes and glanced at her watch. "Play nice boys, I'm going on a date," she announced and prepared to leave.

"Dad is finally taking Mom out?" Jasper asked with a wicked grin. Maria ignored him and picked up her jacket. "Wait…I thought Phil was supposed to stay with Clint?"

"Clint's a big boy, he can handle himself. And Pepper's there for Gillian," the brunette replied curtly. "I just came to make sure Stark was well-installed in his show." The lights started to dim, and she seemed to take it as her cue. "If anything turns sour, don't call me. I'm officially off-duty," she added with a smirk as she darted out of the room.

Jasper and Rhodey exchanged glances. Spotlights cleared the ceiling and Tony put his headphone back on his shoulders. He was about to prepare something, that much they could predict.

"I need my favorite singers here!" he shouted through his headphone. The beat changed and the introduction of a tonic song echoed in the room. Students clapped enthusiastically, looking around for something they might have missed. And suddenly, a few girls screamed a high-pitched fangirl type. Peter Parker jumped on stage right next to Stark and waved at them. He was dressed in one of Fury's black and grey uniforms, the kind they put when they were up for a show, with a spider stamped on his chest. It took students a couple of seconds to realize a well-known idol had just joined them.

"I have a feeling Fury is staging an advertisement for his new album," Bruce said as he joined them suddenly, making both boys startle.

"You abandoned your girlfriend?" Jasper asked in mildshock-slash-amusement.

"She's back with her friends," he replied with a shrug. "And I can't find Steve."

As if he'd heard his words, Parker shouted over the crowd:"C'mon man, I need my partner right now!" A blonde teenager joined him with a shy yet determined smile on stage. Steve had his own mike, his own black uniform with a circular logo. "Ready for the show?"

"Lead the way, bro."

Half of the room turned quiet at those words, stunned into silence, but then the music went on and Parker opened his mouth.

'Let's drop!'

Guitar background boomed and drums followed. Steve shared an amused glance with his partner and dropped a suave'Yeah…Shake, shake it'

And so Parker opened the ball:

'I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door' (leave me at the front door, Steve echoed)

Your body's cold, but girl we're getting so warm

And Steve relayed:

Tonight you're falling in love (let me go now, Peter retorted with a wink)

This feeling's tearing me up

And they both chorused:

'Now if she does it like this, will you do it like that?

Now if she touches like this, will you touch her right back?

Now if she moves like this, will you move her like that? (Come on)

Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, a-shake it'

Part of the room was laughing, the other was dancing, and a smaller part, the people who actually knew Steve, were stunned he'd dare sing that kind of song. And especially at a school. Bruce and Rhodey howled in laugher, while Jasper stared with eyes wide open.

"I'll bet you it's a dare," the latter said, when Steve started swinging his hips suggestively with a hand in his hair. "It has to be a dare. Bet it was Tony."

"And I'm sure he just wants to have fun," Bruce interrupted, grinning amusingly. "Just let him be."

And fun, Steve was sure having some. He didn't look like the scrawny little kid everyone wanted to beat up anymore. He stood straight, looking a lot stronger than before and perfectly at ease on stage. Parker and he completed each other just fine. The crew exchanged knowing glances; Steve's physical changes were only due to the hard work at training.

"Where did they get that song anyway?" Jasper asked. Rhodey shrugged.

"Metro Station. And yes, it was a dare, from Parker. Steve took convincing, but he agreed. And I don't think he's regretting it."

The song ended and suddenly Steve took a step forwards."To the Avengers who missed out on the Street. This one's for you."

"Make place people!" Parker shouted, waving the spectators away. "This is time for SHIELD."

The three boys exchanged glances. Another music rose and this time, they were familiar with. Steve hummed and started:

It's a new generation

Of party people

All lights focused on one spot, where a female dancer was undulating slowly in rhythm. The three boys froze when they recognized the figure.

"Didn't Maria say Natasha was with Clint?"

Let me introduce you to my party,

In the cluuuub…

She wore the black uniform too, with another elegant spider as a logo too. Her red hair was loose over her shoulders, moving along her arms elegantly. Parker jumped from the stage and fell in line with her steps while a computerized voice sang:

I don't sleep I snooze

I don't play no games so don't get it confused no

Cos you will lose yeah

Parker used to be a student of Fury's, they remembered. And Steve was nowhere close to being as physically fit to follow a choreography to its fullest. Jasper, Rhodey and Bruce exchanged glances. They knew the steps; they knew they should intervene soon…and then Steve took over:

If you go hard you gotta get on the floor

If you're a party freak then step on the floor

If you're an animal then tear up the floor

His voice was surprising smooth and fitting to the lyrics. A third character jumped on the stage. They were even more stunned to realize Maria hadn't actually joined Phil on a date, and that Phil was actually standing near Tony with Clint in a wheelchair holding a camera. Had this been planned all along and they hadn't been told?

Don't stop keep it moving

Put your drinks up!

They ran towards the stage. It wasn't easy, with the crowd of students gathered all around the dancers, thrilled to have a life-show.

"That's the mood people!" Tony interjected and threw a punch in the air. Students screamed their agreement. It didn't look like prom anymore, but a concert.

Dance the night away

Live your life ,and stay young on the floor...

Dance the night away

Grab somebody and drink a little more..

Bruce slipped next to Parker as Jasper and Rhodey took their usual spot besides Maria. Out of the corner of the eye, they saw Thor and Sif join up.

Aaa la la la la, lalalalalala la laaaa

Tonight we gonna be on the floor

Natasha shared the lead with Maria. They had repeated this for weeks in preparation and then had to cancel the competition at the last minute, and it felt good to finally show off now.

Freak it off, kick it up

Raise the roof wreck the dancehall

Rip these walls light it up

Make some noise ohhh

The music cut short and so did the lights. Natasha, Maria and Parker slipped away in the darkness, so did Steve off stage. The three others got the message and mingled with the crowd as discreetly as could be. Their suits would be damp with sweat and they would probably be busted and tagged as 'the dancers' the moment the lights returned.

But they couldn't think of a better way to conclude their night.

Check out the male version of 'on the floor'. That's exactly how I imagine Steve's voice to be ^^.
