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?

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

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

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...or lawyers."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Well, I do have a law degree," Nate ventured, taking another swig.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"That doesn't count," Wade replied, waving dismissively.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

A smirk tugged on his mouth. "And you've just decided that?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Well it's hardly ever used, so... Yes. Yes I have."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Too bad." He emptied his beer with his smirk still firmly in place.

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Too late," Wade replied. "I already retconned it."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure the universe doesn't work that way..."

Wade reached over and patted him on the arm. "Oh, Nate, Nate, Nate. So naive."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"Hardly," he said, shooting Wade a sideways look. "We'll see when legal matters arise."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"You're saying that like the legal system actually applies to us."

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"It has its uses. The legal system does exist for a reason, even if it's a little behind on the times."

Wade made a face. "Like when there's a massive crossover event, complete with two-page spreads of hero versus hero fighting?"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

What?

Nate shot him a mildly confused look. Then shook it off. "Another beer?"

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Beer sounds fantastic!"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"You would think so."

Two bottles hit the bar.

"A beer in Hell."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"I pick the best places, don't I?" Wade asked, sipping his beer.

Nate glanced around the (somewhat crappy) beer with demonstrative contemplation. "I think," he said, finally, "That's debatable."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Says the guy who picked Hell's Kitchen with it's blind boyscout protector!"

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I'm not particularly sentimental," he said, shrugging slightly, "But if I was, that area would have value."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"And maybe Hell has value for me," Wade shot back.

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"So tell me about it."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"...okay, you got me there." A beat. "But it coulda!"
