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.

"So, Handsome, what brings you to Gotham?" she asked as she took a long drink of her beer.

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

"Out of town, or out of this world?" she asked being an dimensional refugee herself. He could be another. Or an alien. It was a toss up.

"Out of this world," he said. "Getting a little used to it. There's no Gotham City where I come from."

"Dimensional or other planet?" she asked and then finished off her beer.

"Dimensional." He said, finishing off his beer and starting in on another one. "Does this...happen often around here?"

"I don't know," she answered. "I'm new here too. Other dimension as well, but one very similar to this one."

"Weird," she said. "Very weird." She held up her glass of beer. "Here's to dimensional refugees."

He clinked his glass with hers. "To dimensional refugees," he said before taking a long swig of his beer.

Maria took a long drink from hers. "It's not such a bad world. Do you know anyone here, or are you really on your own?"

"Lucky you," she said. "I don't think I'll be going home, but it's not so bad. My parents are alive in this world. They're not together, but they're alive. It's something."

"Always look on the bright side of life...." she sang and did the whistling part. "Always look on the bright side of life...."
