A bar - Hell, Michigan - Monday evening

[mouthy_merc]

One bodyslide away from the island, they arrived in a small town that proudly proclaimed it's name.

"Welcome to Hell, Nate!" Wade said, grinning cheerfully. "I coulda told you it was in Michigan, but I thought that was just assumed."

Where else would Hell be?

"Really?" Wade muttered, grabbing his beer.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Really," Nate affirmed. "She shares some of Irene's skills, but I'd be hard-pressed to confuse the two." Which meant he'd just have to pull different crap, instead.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh." Wade drank his beer calmly. He so believed Nate. "So! How was your team?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Young," Nate replied, taking a swig. "I had to ask one not to bring a fireball on a stealth mission, but otherwise it worked out." You know, gremlin guts notwithstanding.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"A fireball? Did you have that annoying Storm kid on your team?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Storm would've been harder to deal with." Compliments where compliments were due. "I'm simply glad Stryfe kept to himself." Probably brooding.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's probably because I took his helmet," Wade replied, preening now.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Do you still have it?" He'd wondered what happened to the objects the inhabitants of the other island had left behind.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...well it was in my closet the last time I say it."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Hm," he said, eloquently. "Might be a good way to start a trophy case."

Nate missed his a lot, sometimes.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It's not a trophy," Wade insisted. "It's simply a way to remember the charming times I had with him."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate raised an eyebrow at him-- mostly just out of amusement and form's sake. "Hope you got him a nice shelf."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I think it's behind my collection of Mountie hats..."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"...You have a collection?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Two. Two count as a collection, right?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"It counts as a start," he said, taking a quick swig and mentally patting Fraser on the shoulder.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"He started it!" Wade insisted.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate shot him a sideways look. "I doubt the good Constable stole your hat."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Well, no. But his hat was all... there. Dressing the way it did."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure that would be a workable argument in a court of law."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"He lost at gay chicken!" That was a good argument, right?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"But that would," Nate deadpanned.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"It would." Wade patted him on the arm. "It's Fandom, Nate. All with the wacky."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I don't think," he said, pausing to think about it, "We have a court on the island."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...or lawyers."
