It's been over a week in the bar since Black Canary and Green Lantern came into the bar looking for volunteers for a battle, but for them, it's only been a matter of hours, which is porbably why Dinah is stumbling slightly in her heels and fishnets - exhustion.

"I'm getting a drink," she's saying to Hal as they come through. "Oh, hell with it, I'm

Dealer's choice!

[biggerstingers]

"What's the occasion?"

Tiny flying woman, coming down from the rafters.

Re: Dealer's choice!

"Saving the Earth," Hla grins. "In a big way."

[biggerstingers]

"Awesome," approves Janet, "That it's safe, I mean. Does that happen a lot?"

[overcame_fear]

"Most Wednesdays, yeah, now that you mention it."

Freya has not, technically speaking, been in the bar for... well, a while now. But she is tonight, and she can't help but glance in the direction of the very cheerful costumed individuals. "Good day?"

Casual eavesdropping on their thoughts is to be expected, though only because Freya doesn't have the power to turn her telepathy off entirely. (Maybe someday.)

[raptorcanaria]

"Excellent day," Dinah says.

"Well, apart from the whole 'alien invasion'. I guess a day we don't get invaded is better."

[overcame_fear]

"But if we don't get invaded, we can't beat them in the end and throw them off the planet again."

[hoorayfor_me]

"Fair enough," Freya agrees. "So it's a productively excellent day."

Moist looks over Dinah's costume as she's heading near his table and then beams at the drink, the past few days just keep improving,

"What a generous offer. What are you celebrating?"

He's aware of Hal as a green muscular presence and nods to him too.

[raptorcanaria]

"Saving the world."

Hey, it's Urq's boyfriend. Dinah is getting to the poitn where she'd happily tell Urq who she was, but not his boyfriend first.

Also it's weird to be appreciated by him.

"What would you like?"

[morethanprops]

"Then clearly we should get some champagne. What were you saving the world from?"

Moist would probably understand the secret identity part more than Urquhart, but his reasons are ones Dinah wouldn't like.

[overcame_fear]

"Aliens. Lots and lots of aliens."

*smug*

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"Oh, hey," says Ellen, looking up from giving Dogmeat his dinner. "Welcome back. How are you two holding up?"

She's changed back into her- well, not her civvies, that'd be her Vault jumpsuit. She's in the dark green fatigues with the Brotherhood of Steel patch on one shoulder.

[raptorcanaria]

"Exhausted," says Dinah, stumbling over to Ellen and half collapsing in a chair. "We won, though. Thank you for all your help."

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

"Oh, good, I'm glad," Ellen says. "That you won, I mean. My own aliens were bad enough... how did you guys do, anyway? Who was hurt?"

Someone is always hurt.

[raptorcanaria]

"The Atom," Dinah says sadly. "And we don't know who else; we're still counting the wounded. My Mom broke her arm, but she'll be fine."

"I'm in!" Steph announces, looking up and beaming.

Then blinking.

Then sliding back down in her seat very quickly and hoping they didn't see her.

HEROES AHHHHHH. SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.

[raptorcanaria]

"Steph!"

Too late!

Dinah doesn't waste anytime in heading straight over there. "I haven't seen you since Hallowe'en!"

[i_spoiled_it]

"Oh, you haven't?"

Oh yeah! It's the bar! Steph could pretend like she's not not-dead. .... Oooor she could just go with it and see what happens.

She eyes Dinah. It's young-Dinah. That makes things easier! "Hi!"

[raptorcanaria]

Dinah is being easy and free with the drinks tonight. Steph can handle a light beer, right?

"How've you been?"
