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.

"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."

"Mine's completely different. No Gothma, no Metropolis, no Star City, yeah...lots of differences."

"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."

"So in a way...there's a brighter side to being stuck here?"

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

He laughed, taking a sip of his beer. "Is this the alcohol talking, or are you normally like this?"

"I'm not even buzzed so it can't be the alcohol. Uncle Bruce, the man who adopted me after my parents died, said I'm a lot like my mom. There's little to no filter between my brain and mouth."

She smiled. "If you take life too seriously you end up all moody and surly. Kick ass when you can, otherwise have some fun."

"I've been told I take a lot after my dad," Charlie said with a grin. "I don't lecture as much as he does, though."

He took another swig of beer. "That's a pretty good policy."

"Ugh. Lectures. Uncle Bruce had it down to a science."

She downed the rest of her beer and smile. "Then it's time we start having some fun. Barkeep!" she yelled to get his attention. "Tequila. Limes. And salt my man. Make it snappy. We need some fun here. Pronto!"

Charlie laughed. "I swear, if my Dad could, he would lecture God."

"Uncle Bruce would just scowl at God until God caved," Maria said with a laugh. The bartender placed two shot glass, lime wedges and a salt shaker on the bar. He filled the glass and went to leave when Maria motioned for him to leave the bottle.

She picked up her shot glass. "Okay Mr. Rogers. The goal is for you to keep up if you can. Here's to having some fun."

Charlie picked up his own shot glass, smiling at her. "I'll try my best." He normally wasn't much of a heavy drinker, but...what the hell.

"Bottom's up!" Maria said and downed her shot. It was going to be an interesting night.

"Bottom's up," Charlie said, downing his shot. It tasted a little bitter, and he wasn't quite used to it. But he didn't want her to think that he was a lightweight.

Maria grabbed a lime wedge and sucked on it. She tossed him a wedge.

"Ooops. Forgot the salt first," she giggled.

"Silly you," Charlie said with a smirk, sucking on a wedge.

He lined the next shot with salt, putting the wedge on the glass before downing his shot.

Maria licked the inside of her wrist, shook some salt on it and then licked off the salt. She downed a shot and then popped a wedge slice in her mouth.

"That's two. Ready for three?" she asked as she shook more salt on her inner wrist. She held it up for him to lick the salt off.
