[OPEN] One of those days...
Who: Natasha and [OPEN]
Where: the bar
When: backdated to this past Tuesday (5/20)
Rating: PG-13ish?
Summary: It's not every day your son shows up from the future. (At least, she really hopes not. Once was plenty.)
The Story:
Natasha's somewhat come to terms with the strangeness Wonderland seems insistent about dropping into their laps. Some of it is beyond expectation and for the most part she's done her best to roll with that, take it in stride, from people showing up from all manner of timelines and alternate realities, to talking to living breathing fictional fairy tale characters and even to her teammates and enemies belting out Disney ballads to one another without warning. She thought she was handling it fairly calmly.
And then James had shown up this morning with the information that he was her son - her and Steve's son. From the future. Oh, and in his world she gets to die somewhere in the next three years by a rogue AI out to destroy humanity. She was really hoping he was from one of those alternate realities like the one the female Hawkeye had arrived from, because if that was her fate... She really would have been much happier never knowing.
Not that she held any of this against the kid - she didn't - but it was still a lot to digest. Which was why she'd abandoned her usual haunts for the evening in favor of finding a stool at Ellen's bar. She'd tried spending the afternoon in training, trying to exhaust herself and outrun the circling thoughts, but that had been less successful than she'd hoped. Maybe the alcohol would do a better job. Not that she was one to over-indulge, usually. And it took a lot for her to get to the level of intoxication she was partially craving. She wasn't even sure that was wise, considering everything, but for one night, maybe she'd be a little reckless.
Still, she sent off a text to her teammates of 'Unless there's an emergency, I'm taking the night off. In the bar if you need me.' before she got started. Just in case.

He doesn't hesitate for long. Natasha seemed pretty cool the first time Souji met her; even if she hadn't, it probably wouldn't have stopped him from approaching her now, one hand raised in a vague wave.
"What are you drinking?"

"No idea, but it tastes good. Want one?"

"Try it yourself, but you might not like it. Alcohol's sometimes an acquired taste."

He gives it a try and winces, closing one eye, but manages not to cough.
"...Yeah. This is one you have to get used to." Not that that will keep him from drinking the rest of it.

"I came here to drink." Otherwise, he'd have just stayed in the diner, where there were plenty of non-alcoholic beverages (and plenty of Tohrus who would flail about underage drinking).

"I like that about this place. I get to meet people I never could have before." But it was hard to see them go again. "I guess all I can do is hope he's okay at home."
