Ladies Night

[meowminx]

WHO: She-Hulk (shulkie_00) & Catwoman (catmasked)
WHEN: Night of Jan 2nd
WHERE: Rock Bottom Bar downtown
SUMMARY: Drinking and probably some prying
FORMAT: Quickpara?



It wasn't a New Year's resolution persay, but Selina had been cutting back on the drinking alone. Besides, this Jen sounded like just her sort of company for a proper girl's night out.

She wasn't lying about being green either. Jen would have been easy enough to spot even if the few other patrons hadn't been giving her plenty of breathing room.

"What was that about adamantium claws?" Selina asked as she slid onto the empty stool to Jen's left.

No, she really wasn't lying about being green. Jen had made the decision to stay in the She-Hulk form as long as possible, due to the unfamiliar nature of this world. She was more equipped to defend herself like this.

The stares were almost fun. The patrons found the most mundane things fascinated any time she caught them looking.

Jen shrugged when the newcomer asked the question, thereby identifying herself as Selina. "I've worked and trained with Wolverine."

Selina gestured to the bartender, who recognized her but didn't seem too pleased about her company. "Wolverine? Yeah, I've met him," she told Jen with a completely straight face. "Seems like an interesting guy."

[ooc: Oops, I misunderstood about her being stuck in Hulk mode... sorry for the godmod >.>;;]

[OOC: It's fine, I was going to have her green anyway.]

Jen snerked into her beer at the interesting comment. "Oh, yeah. He's interesting, in that short man with an insanely disproportionate attitude kind of way. Kinda cute though."

[meowminx]

The bartender brought her the usual. "I don't know," Selina commented. "I thought the attitude was kind of cute too." She sipped her Scotch. "But you mentioned the Avengers. Seems to come up a lot... a superhero team, right?"

"Sometimes, it's cute, when it's in small doses and not directed at you," Jen admitted, "But it makes it impossible to argue with the man. You can never tell if you're getting anywhere."

She nodded as she took another draft of her beer. "Right. Generally speaking, it's not a mutant team. It's mostly made of people like myself, who came upon their powers through external events: gamma radiation, super soldier serum, et cetera. There have been a few mutants, like Wolverine, and a few who are just highly trained, sans any superhuman abilities at all."

Selina mouth twitched into a small, private smile. "Guess it all depends where you want to go."

She drank more of her scotch as she listened to Jen's list. "Throw in aliens and it sounds a lot like the big team back home. They call themselves the Justice League." She smirked, toying with her glass. "It's like heroes have some sort of compulsion to organize, no matter what world they're on."

She caught the smile. "He does have a nice ass."

Okay, Jen giggled at that. "Actually, we have aliens." The mirth faded quickly, however, as memory caught up fully. "Had, rather. This isn't the safest business. I guess that's why we organize. It's good to have someone to watch your back as well as an assortment of powers and skills. Doesn't hurt to have people to relate to and a stipend for what amounts to one of the hardest jobs in the world."

[meowminx]

The smile grew. "Indeed."

Talk of heroes encouraged Selina to knock back the rest of her scotch. "Can't say I have all that much experience. I've never been much of a team player. And pretty good at watching my own back." She pushed her empty glass towards the bartender to get his attention.

"Now, you sound like Wolvie. If you start calling me 'bub', we're going to have words," she teased easily. "I'm not always the best team player either. I haven't been a regular on the Avengers in over a year, but I swear I get in more trouble by myself."

[meowminx]

"Mmm, 'bub' isn't really my style." There was amusement in Selina's voice. She tapped the bar with her empty hand, "Something wrong with getting into trouble where you come from? I've always found it makes life a bit more interesting."

"Then if my life were anymore interesting, I'd be awarded the Pulitzer for non-fiction without even putting pen to page," Jen joked.

"it's not that I mind most of it, I just wish it wouldn't all happen at once. All the time."

Finally, her drink arrived. Selina sipped this one a bit more slowly than the last. "Things do tend to pile up quickly, whether you're playing the hero game or not," Selina admitted. "But there's a difference between asking for trouble and looking for the specific brand you want."

Not that trouble had ever had a problem finding her whether she was looking or not. Details.
