He went to the bar dressed as The Comedian. Eddie rarely went out in public without his mask. It wasn't so much that it was a security blanket, just that he liked being able to kick people's asses when he needed (or wanted) to without fear of any repercussions. At least where (and when) he was from, the mask inspired a fearful respect out of the general population. He wasn't sure if it was working the same here, but Eddie's large size did the job where the mask couldn't. He was built like a line backer and still in fabulous shape, despite being in his 50s.
And Eddie was nervous. That was something that very rarely happened. It didn't show, he'd be damned if he let it show, but there was a touch of nerves all the same. He was sitting at a table in the far corner of the bar, cigar in hand and a scotch sitting on the table in front of him. He was waiting for his daughter... No. Laurie. He was waiting for Laurie. The second Silk Spectre. Sally had made it perfectly clear that Laurie was all she would ever be to him, nothing more. And be damned if he didn't respect that woman's wishes. But it was Laurie's idea to meet him here. He'd just agreed to a request made by someone he used to fight crime with. That was all.
Though he wondered what she knew by now and what she didn't. He'd never mentioned anything to her, but had her mother? And if so, just how much of the gory history had her mother told? He took a swig of his drink, downing a little too much a little too fast. And yet the alcohol still wasn't having much of an effect. He'd been drinking too heavily for too long to get tipsy that easily. He cast an annoyed glance down at the pen and pad of paper he'd had to dig up to bring with him to use to talk and puffed on his cigar. This was going to be interesting.
