Call Back
After all the craziness that the past month has had with the dimensional or time displaced or whatever it was she didn’t really understand it avengers getting back. Then there was preparing for and doing the big move over to the west coast and getting set up there. Aine finally had some free time to have some fun and since Luna seemed like she really had to catch up on her reading she decided to be nice and not drag her out to do something.

When the guys did their rate the babe event that bad boy looking guy that she had rather liked and though looked like a lot of fun from rate the hunk had left her his number in to give him a call in case she might want to do something.

Which was exactly why she was giving him a call right now.

	The personal number he left rings into the garage. Nick is working on cleaning up after doing some touch up work on a Harley when it rings, just time to get to the phone. "Hell-on-wheels, customization and repairs. This is Nick." If you're looking for a bad boy, getting a Harley shop probably isn't a bad start. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Damn if the number was right than that meant he liked working on engines too. Plus two points. “Hey this is Aine,” she says, “You left me your number with the Avengers.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nick? Like working on engines? Yeah, safe to say. "Oh yeah, trust me, I remember. Was worried you'd ditched it, or the boy scout never passed it on." he replies, amused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seattle? Huh, long ways from New Orleans... but he can cover that. "Sounds like it. Huh, well, the southwest is my usual... but you know, if you're going to be in Seattle for a while, you might want to get to know the places to get good and hammered out your way. You tried the War Room on Pike yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aine left the base an hour or so early to give her plenty of time to explore and find the bar flying around on purple solid sound butterfly wings. At about roughly the time they were supposed to meet Aine landed on the ground and let the wings dissolve away. (Reply to this)(Thread)

He covered most of the way with some help from the rider. Nice as Nick's bike is (which is already saying a lot), nothing made of steel and chrome can come close to the Rider's wheels. Soon as he hit Seattle, he went back to... well, slightly more respectable than a demon with flaming wheels, anyway.

There's not a ton of parking on Pike, but with a motorcycle, plus off-hours, Nick manages, pulling up near Aine - she's fairly distinctive.

"Hey."

Damn, she's even hotter in person.

	She knows her way around an engine too? +3 points. "Damn, nice. I've done a little with planes - twin engine, mostly, but ain't been around them that much.

	“Neat,” She says, “If I’m in the area I’ll definitely take you up on that.” She always did think it would be great to open up a garage of her own someday. She always was thinking it might be fun to drag Luna down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No rush. There's a ton of exploring to do up this way too. At least for drinking. The clubbing scene isn't quite up to New York... but it ain't bad. Depends on what you're looking for. If the War Room doesn't suit you, the Alibi Room is a few blocks down. The Dancing Bare ain't far either, but that one's not for the audience doing the dancing. Anyhow, ready to check it out? Always easier to break the ice over first round."

Nice gestures up the street. "No dancing and all, but if you're in it for food and especially beer, the Pyramid brewery is up that way, awesome stuff. Uhm, naked city brewery is down quite a ways that way..." another gesture. "Jolly Roger... Big Time... Fremont Brewing... the Tap House... the Great Pacific...Hale's Ales... Pike Pub... and when you're really hungry, the Elysian is down that way - if you go there, bring three friends and order the fries to go with one of the house brews. And those're just off the top of my head and an easy drive." he accompanies each name with a vague directional point.
"You could easily do a week long pub crawl out here."

He's enough of something resembling a gentleman to hold the door for her.

The place is about 70 percent bar, 30 percent nightclub, there's dance space cleared and all, but with plenty of seating, including areas back in the corners where the music isn't quite so pervasive - you can raise your voice and be heard without quite needing to shout.

The music on Fridays fits the place's name - heavy beats, nothing too hip-hop. With all the breweries in the area, the beer list is a long one, the wine list... not nearly as varied, but it exists.

	He gestures towards one of the corner tables, pulling out a chair for her. "Usually, bar all the way. Figured we might want to talk a little, anyway. First meeting and all." Not quite calling it a date... yet. Not that he'd mind the situational upgrade at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aine take her seat. “Sounds like a good plan to me,” She says, “Should probably take a quick look through the beer list before I go up and order a drink.” Only assholes go up there and then wait go through the list when they should just quickly order. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Nick shakes his head, waving a waitress over. "Two samplers." he tells her, before glancing at Aine. "Trust me - eight double shots of microbrews, running pale to dark, figure out what you're in the mood for. Since almost everywhere worth its salt in the city has ten to twenty brews on tap before you count the cheap shit, most places have them. Always a good start."

	Nick had scored some good point for picking out a good place. “Yeah a friend of mine has been working with them for a while and when they lose a bunch of their teammate we came back from backpacking around Europe to help them out,” Aine explains, “Though I grew up more around the original Thunderbolts.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I only know a little about either group." Zarathos has worked with the Avengers before, especially with some ex-Avengers, and he knows a few of the ex-TBolts, mostly working against them before their face turn.

	Nick quiets a little, for just a moment, then nods. He gets cut off in initial response by the beer arriving, a neat little platform with eight tumblers, each a little bigger than double the size of a shot glass, full of increasingly dark brews, little labels on the plate indicating what each one is. He raises the first glass, a pale. "To second chances." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
