“We’re here outside the Four Seasons Hotel in New York where the who’s who is gathered tonight. Celebrities, royals and superheroes have all turned out for the annual Maria Stark Foundation Winter Charity event benefiting Toys for Tots.

It’s truly an all-star gala here tonight.

Sydney wasn't a big formal party type of girl, but her duties as an employee of Scion and as den mother to the Defenders required her to go.

Avery, Zoey and she had gotten a room in the hotel instead of staying with the Avengers. It was like a mini vacation.

Syd had picked a simple dress from an unknown designer in LA. She brought two dozen kids books as gifts.

Avery, being a Crittenden, was also watched to see who he'd attend the party with. He wasn't sure if his parents or other family received an invitation, but he was praying to all that was holy that they didn't. He did not need Dad or, worse, Adrian showing up here to talk to Sydney or Zoey.

"I know I probably said this already, but you look beautiful, Sydney." Avery says, smiling for a picture that someone is taking of Sydney.

"Zoey looks like she's having a good time, too. Here's hoping she doesn't go charging off to the other side of the universe to stop an alien invasion while we're taking pictures." he says.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" he asks.

Sydney blushed. "And you, Mr. Crittenden, look incredibly handsome tonight."

Syd looked over at her daughter who had already found Scotty. "It does. Please don't say that too loudly and give her any ideas. It's the last thing we need."

"Wine if they have it, please, otherwise champagne will do."

"Excellent choice, Miss Ashcroft. I'll be right back." Avery smiles.

He gets two glasses of wine and comes back to hand one to Sydney.

"This whole thing is great. I'm really glad we all came. Do you need to go home right away? I was thinking we could take Zoey ice-skating tomorrow if we don't." he says.

"Thank you, Avery," she said as she accepted the glass of champagne.

"Zoey has school on Monday," she said. "But we can leave anytime tomorrow we want, so there's time for ice skating. Hopefully she won't break her arm this year."

Syd tried not to think about last year. She didn't want to be thinking of Simon.

"Well, we just won't let that happen, then." Avery smiles.

"So, how many people do you know here, besides the Defenders and Mr. Stark?" Avery asks.

"She's really good," Syd said with some pride.

"I know Ms. Potts, the Avengers and a few others."

"You live in a much bigger world than most of us, Sydney." Avery smiles.

"I can say I know you and Zoey, which is enough for me." he says.

"Oh, my parents will be sending Zoey's Christmas gifts pretty soon, so I'll bring them to the house as soon as I get them." he tells her.

Kristoff, his eyes on his son, makes his way over.

"Do you know what they got her by chance?" Syd asked as she turned to see Zoey dancing with Scotty. They were adorable together. It also made Syd wonder what trouble they would be getting into.

She saw Mr. Vernard approaching. She gave him a smile. "Hello, Mr. Vernard."

Avery doesn't know anything, really, about Kristoff Vernard save two things: One, that he's a member of the Fantastic Four.

Two: He's Scotty's father.

Avery pinches the bridge of his nose as a premonition comes to his mind at that moment.

He regards Kristoff with a neutral expression.

"Mr. Vernard, I'm Avery Crittenden, Zoey's father." Avery says, extending a hand.

Dr. Vernard quashes the desire to correct. He just smiles politely back. "Ms. Ashcroft." He shakes Avery's hands. "Mr. Crittenden." He eyes the children, then taps a nearby table superstitiously as he says "They appear to still be on the correct dimensional plane."

"It's still early in the night," Syd said with a smile. "They appear to be having fun. When Zoey learned that Scotty was going to be here, flying horses couldn't keep her away."

"Are you having a nice evening?"

Avery lets Sydney handle this portion of the conversation, since she knows the man a lot better than he.

"Scotty has been equally talkative about Zoey, I assure you. I suspect we have a few transcontinental occasions ahead of us."

"Zoey talks about Scotty all of the time," Syd said. "Including how she's going to marry him. Thought I should give you a head's up on that."

A blink. "Ah....I see. Please let me know, Mr. Crittenden, if he attempts to ask you any questions with long-reaching implications before beginning middle school."

Avery hadn't heard about the marriage bit and it surprises him as much as it does Kristoff.

"I'll do that, Mr. Vernard." Avery says.

"I assure you that Zoey will not be getting married until at least the age of eighteen."
