A bar in Gotham
Charlie wanted to do some exploring. So, after asking what might be a fun place to check out, Charlie had grabbed his comm-link, gone to one of the teleporters, and found himself in a place called Gotham City. He wandered around for a little while, taking in the sites before making his way to a local bar. Oddly enough, the small amount of cash that he had in his wallet in his backpack worked here, which meant that this place maybe wasn't too different from home.

If the heroes here had weird names, like Star Spangled Kid.

Charlie made his way up to the bar and ordered a beer and an order of nachos. He sat at the bar, and was about halfway into his second beer when he noticed someone come up and take the seat next to him.

Maria needed a night out. Working at Wayne Industries during the day and patrolling at night was starting to take its toll. All on top of Bruce's death. He had been the one to take her in and show her some kindness. Now she was basically on her own.

She had just found an apartment and moved what little possessions she had into it. She had a couch with a pull out bed and a small table and one chair. Thank goodness the Salvation Army Thrift Store had some cheap furniture in it.

Tonight was a night off of patrolling and she hit the bar. She slid onto a stool and motioned for a beer. She was a regular here. She sipped her beer and glanced over at the guy next to her.

"You're not going to try any cheesy pick up lines are you? If so, give me a minute. Beer is required for some witty comebacks."

Charlie laughed, looking over at the girl next to him.

"No, I am not," he said, taking a swig of his beer. "I haven't enough to drink for that yet."

"Good," she said. "Because the only thing more useless than bad pick up lines is the Pope's testicles." She smiled. "Maria Grayson-Wayne." She held out a hand.

He laughed heartily at that. "Charlie Rogers," he said, taking the extended hand and taking it. "Nice to meet you, Maria."

He grinned.

"So...come here often?" Corny pick-up, yes.

She shook his hand and then released it. "Nice to meet you, Charlie Rogers." She grinned. "Not really. I usually have sex somewhere more private."

Charlie blinked, his face turning red. "Beg pardon?"

"Bad joke. I was playing on the word come." She smiled. Oh he was the delicate type. How fun! "But to answer your question, I am a regular patron of this place."

He laughed. "I was hoping you would at least let me buy you a drink or something to eat first, anyway," he said.

Wait...what was he doing? Was he implying that he wanted to have sex with her? No, he couldn't be. He was just being nice. That's what he was doing.

Maria laughed. Maybe he wasn't so delicate. "How about you buy the next round and we'll take things one round at a time?"

"Sounds like a good plan to me," he said, signaling the bartender to bring them a couple more beers.

"I'm...visiting from out of town," he said taking a sip of his beer. "Very out of town."

Charlie rolled over in bed the next morning, his head throbbing slightly.

How much did he have to drink last night? He was pretty sure he didn't get wasted...but he definitely had enough to get his judgment pretty fuzzy.

He looked over at the girl next to him in the bed. Did they? Yup, they did.

Charlie sat up, looking for his clothes.

"Going somewhere, Handsome?" Maria asked as she rolled over. There was some throbbing in her head, but it wasn't too bad.

"Look...." he said, getting up to put his pants on. "I had a lot of fun last night, and you were a lot of fun to hang out with...but I really shouldn't have done this."

He was starting to get that kind of guilty feeling.

"Let me take a guess. You have a girlfriend somewhere and now you're suddenly feeling guilty? Or I was just that bad."

"No, no, the sex was...awesome, actually," he said, holding up his hands.

"But yeah...there is kind of a girl back home. I mean, we never really established things or anything, but...."

For all he know, Toni had moved on by now. He wouldn't blame her.

"It was," she said with a smile. She nodded. "I understand. At least let me buy you breakfast and some coffee. It's the least I can do."

"Thanks," he said, "I haven't insulted you or anything, have I?"

"Me? No. I wear big girl panties," she said with a smile as she climbed out of the bed. "Well I did until you ripped them off."

"Oh, Handsome, don't be sorry. It was nice." There was a nice big grin on her face. She went to a pile of clothes, clean, on the floor and pulled out a pair of panties, bra, pants and shirt. She started to get dressed.

Charlie finished getting dressed and waited for her, politely turning his back so she could dress in privacy.

Yes, he had seen her naked already...but he still did it.

"Ready?" she asked when she was done dressing. Oh. He turned his back. How cute. Delicate types could be fun. "I know this great diner down the block."
