WHO: Everyone who wants to drown their sorrows or something
WHAT: Getting drunk about it
WHERE: The Spider-Web
WHEN: Today



Sure waking up to find that he was for some reason attached to a wizard nearly half his age hadn't been on the top ten best ways to start his day list that Peter most certainly did not keep somewhere in the back of his mind, it hadn't actually been on the top ten worst ways to start his day list either. So that was something to consider. Not that it made it any easier to deal with knowing that for some strange reason he found himself tethered to Sirius, things had gotten very strange very quickly, and considering his history with strange well - Peter thought he was handling the whole thing admirably.

Tonight though, well they were at the bar, because even tied together like this people still needed to eat and Peter wasn't about to just throw all of this away because he was mildly inconvenienced. So he was doing his best, passing out drinks and making food and hoping that at the very least, they could all just spend a little time there that evening and pretend like things weren't entirely fucked.

"Nothing like a couple of drinks and something good to eat to at least help make you feel like things aren't quite as bad as they might seem." And certainly he'd lucked out he thought, but like John had said, things could always be worse.

"It's not so bad." Sirius, at least, could pretend he was being useful instead of just tagging along for the ride that was Peter slinging food and drinks by doing some of the same. Sure, it'd taken a little practice -- knowing exactly how far each of them could walk in either direction before that tug had them falling back into each other's spaces -- but. Well. They'd mostly figured it out.

Plus a little wizarding in a place like the Spider's Web was making a lot of the work a hell of a lot easier, he figured. Drinks could pour themselves, and levitate to the right tables so no one had to get up and risk falling back over, and the dishes were cleaned and done as soon as they came back.

"Y'know, it's almost fun," Sirius decided, leaning on the bar from the serving side -- even though he had a drink of his own at his elbow. "Maybe I come do it more often."

"Nah, it's not." Peter agreed, seeing some of the others and who they had ended up tied to - well Peter thought he might just have gotten of easy all things considered. And well, magic had it's uses, even if it had gotten them into this situation in the first place. Even Peter could admit there was something very useful about having a wizard around who could help automate some of the things that he usually ended up running around doing himself most nights.

And after a few days of practice at this sort of thing he and Sirius had mostly managed to figure things out well enough, sure they still had a few moments where one of them went just a little too far only to be tugged right back in again, but all things considered? He wasn't absolutely hating life at the moment.

"For a second there I thought you meant this," He said with a soft huff of amusement shaking his head. "But you're welcome to come by and help out sometimes if you're feeling up to it." He added, with people coming and going as they did it was usually better to have more help than not enough so he'd never turn down someone who was interested.

He'd gotten off pretty easily. Sure, Sirius was prone to bouts of wild energy followed up by some pretty extreme pouting sometimes, particularly when Remus wasn't there to deter such things. But for the most part, he'd tried keeping it light, tried making things fun. And he'd tried being helpful, because that made time go by quicker.

"Not this," Sirius said, pulling a face and waving his hand dismissively. "No offense, mate, but like, I don't want to be stuck to anyone this close at all." Not even Remus, although he suspected he and Remus would have been a bit better at making the most of it. A week spent in bed with Remus wasn't any kind of hardship, after all. "But the --this. With the drinks and the food. S'kinda fun. Maybe I will show up a bit more. Can't believe you muggles and how you have to suffer through dish washing. Honestly."

So, this was uncomfortable. To say the least.

Mostly because a recovering alcoholic in a bar seemed to be the stupidest decision Dan had since - well, since literally a day or so ago. Shit had been rolling downhill ever since he got involved with keeping Abra safe from the True Knot, and it culminated in an actual fiery inferno. It wasn't the pleasant type of fire, like the ones at camp, that felt like warm butter melting on your face - but no, he'd been consumed by the flames, consumed by the ghosts of the Overlook and pulled under; maybe it was what he deserved, and what did it matter anyway? He found it difficult to care about anything when he'd lost most of the blood in his body, pale as an ivory carving.

Now he was here and he didn't know what to make of it - he didn't know anyone, and didn't want to. He was supposed to be dead and he'd shuffled off the mortal coil without repaying the giant debt he was saddled with, or maybe giving his life for the only person he considered family made up for it. He'd just lost everything, that was all. Lost it and fell into...this.

A bar. Called Spider-Something.

At least he'd managed to change his clothes, though the headache he experienced from new voices filtering in and out felt like the ebb and flow of the tide. It came and went, like thoughts of others did. The Shine was a burden as much as it was a gift. He was trying not to ping pong between the minds of everyone in the bar, attempting to focus on the soda in front of him, and he closed pale blue eyes. Rubbed one throbbing temple. Fifteen minutes and he could leave. Just fifteen minutes.

Look it wasn't ideal, his little world revolving around Gwen now, or at least the eight or so feet surrounding her. But it could be much, much worse. The bed on her floor was reasonably comfortable, he could rustle up an excellent silencing charm while they each took turns to shower to give them a little more privacy. It could have been worse and Bill was happy to go about their day following her lead, as long as the garden got a visit he was happy.

In a place like this they could give each other a little space, give themselves a break and with the music and the drink in his hand he could almost pretend he wasn't stuck. It was easy to pick out a new face, especially of a guy who looked like he was attending his own funeral and as he walked in Bill noticed, he was an observant guy. He finished up his conversation before he made his way as close to Dan as he could get, which was only a few feet away.

"You made it after all, I'm flattered," Bill said with an easy smile as he leaned his hip up against the bar.

Pale eyes flitted away for a second, looking over the faces of everyone in the bar. Dan hated crowds like this - he could reach in and take, and he knew it. He could pluck thoughts like apples. And some were louder than others anyway.

It never stopped. He had moments that were more peaceful than others, but even when he was “resting” he was seeing. Dick's teachings still rubbed off on him like a grass stain.

Then his attention snapped back like a rubber band, gaze shifting toward the man who appeared near him. "I didn't want to disappoint," he said, with a smile that didn't reach the blue jean denim shade of his eyes. It was nothing personal, it just had been a long day. Long week. Long life. That sort of thing.

"You're Bill, I'm guessing? I'm Dan. It's nice to meet you."

Remus | Sirius

Remus was a sad, sad pup. He knew that there was nothing to be done about the situation but that hadn't meant he'd given up trying to separate Sirius and Peter through magic. It seemed, whatever powers that be had locked them together used a magic that not even Remus could unveil and figure out. He knew, just from his observations around town that magic could be very different depending on the source. Loki, was a very different sort of sorcerer than him, Sirius, or Bill. He assumed that the magic Loki possessed was useless against it too, since he apparently was tied to someone as well. If a god couldn't break the spell, Remus was certain he would be incapable of it.

It was really, really difficult to be away from Sirius. Remus wasn't needy, not by any means, but he loved Sirius and he missed sleeping with him at night and having him obnoxiously interrupt his reading by putting his head in his lap to demand pets. He missed him jamming out to music with Gwen. He missed the utterly ridiculous ideas he'd pose to him with no warning or preceding information. Remus missed Sirius.

It was a good thing that the full moon had already happened this month, else Remus would have no choice but to tap into his limited supply of wolfsbane. Granted, if it lasted through the next month he might still need to. But tonight was reserved for drinking. Drinking at the bar because Sirius was there and he could at least be near him. He was wearing that black shirt with the little white stars on it. Silly, ridiculous, but it made him feel better to wear it.

"If I make eyes at you will it get me a drink?" Remus teased, smiling a bit at Sirius.

No amount of magic had fixed their little problem at hand, and that was kind of infuriating, because Sirius and Remus had spent a good deal of time trying to figure it out -- to no avail however, because at the end of every spell, Peter Parker was still there. Not that Sirius disliked Peter -- he didn't. He liked him quite a lot. But at the end of the day, all he really wanted to do was flop on top of Remus and be a nuisance until they were curled up in one another in the best ways possible.

This week was not good for cuddling. Or random thoughts. Or demanding petting or jamming out. It was a nearly Remus free week, and Sirius didn't care for that at all. Even if some of it was a little self imposed because despite the fact that Sirius never seemed to care about things like manners, it did seem very cruel indeed to have Remus over constantly while Peter's people were off with others.

But now that Remus was right here in front of him? Flirting? Well. Sirius leaned over and plucked at his shirt sleeve, the one Sirius liked so well. "You'd get a drink without the eyes, Moony. But you should give it a go, anyhow." Humor was easy. It stopped him from saying wild things. From crawling over the counter into Remus' lap.

It wasn't really in his nature to pout. He was the mature one of their group of friends. The one who looked at situations with logic and reason, and never let himself become irrationally distressed or emotionally incontrollable. He didn't throw tantrums or raise hell. Suffer in silence was far more of Remus Lupin's style. But Sirius wasn't the only one who could pull the whole 'sad puppy eye' look and Remus knew he'd been sporting it lately. He couldn't help it. He was sad and he missed his best mate. His best mate who also happened to be the love of his life.

Soulmates sounded dramatic, but logic be damned, Remus believed that was what they were. Not having that warm body to curl up against at night, not being able to kiss until they fell asleep only to wake up kissing some more was something that was terribly missed. Remus wanted Sirius home, he wanted to be with him in every way possible.

His eyes followed Sirius' hand as he played a bit with his sleeve. It made the wolfish smirk on his lips pull a little higher. Yes, hide the sadness behind the flirty banter. That made it easier. "Mm, well, if you haven't noticed I've been unable to take my eyes off of you all evening. Surely you have; you know how gorgeous you are."

This wasn’t…. Too bad. It was a bit like fucked up musical chairs, really. Like, Richie could sit at one table and if it was angled just so, Steve could sit at another table and depending how everyone else decided to sit, most everyone could have some privacy with someone else. Like, other people who weren’t the people they’d been stuck with for the better part of a week.

It was no offense to Steve, really. Because Richie actually really liked Steve. They’d gotten off to a buff rough start, but it wasn’t like they didn’t get along at all. Richie had been learning some weird shit about fitness this week, which had been - something. Maybe enough to get him off his ass in the future. And there’d been some sleep-over style movie watching and gossiping about boys (just two particular ones, okay, maybe they were both pining like complete fucking Losers) and sometimes he got to watch Steve give Bill the sternest, more horrifyingly serious looks Richie had ever encountered. But all in all, it wasn’t bad. Richie’d said so before, but he’d really lucked out.

But being able to drink and talk with other people for a change of pace was kind of cool. So it wasn’t like Richie was purposefully ignoring Steve, so much as giving him his own space, too.

He ran his finger over the lip of his cup and straightened up his posture in order to look around and see who’d come through the door next. He was hoping for a Loser or three, but he wasn’t overly picky.

Since his rather rude awakening, Stan felt like his days were somewhere between begging to slow down and making some kind of exercise in compromise. It wasn't the quiet and sort of orderly way he liked to live his life, and it wasn't quite as over the top and grenade filled as he'd worried it might be, but it was something in between. And for now it was okay, in the long run? Well Stan wasn't quite so sure of that.

But for tonight he and Octane both agreed that drinks were necessary, and he found Richie with a drink and his own tall and too good looking shadow not far behind him.

"Looks like you managed to get out on good behavior tonight," He said with a chuckle after he'd gotten a drink for himself and a promise out of Octane not to go running across the bar and yank him out of his seat while he talked with Richie for a little bit.

"Or was it his good behavior that got you out?" He asked.

Compromise really was the name of the game, for everyone involved in this weird, weird week of Starklandia what the fuckery. Even Richie and Steve had had to have talks, navigating how their day was going to do, when they ought to be doing what and how. And where. It was -- tiring, frankly. And a little rough, because while Steve wanted to get away from things by running and couldn't, Richie was the sort to fidget and move and pace a lot and he -- hadn't been able to do a lot of that.

He'd gotten really fucking good at vibrating his leg while sitting in place though, and that was going to be an impossible habit to break now.

"It's never my good behavior," Richie said with a grin, leaning over to get Stan into a tight hug. "But god, getting out feels pretty fucking great, doesn't it?" Somewhere that was neutral ground for just about everyone.

As it turned out, Bill was a pretty great girlfriend. They found a pretty even balance when it came to their day to day needs and routine. The silencing charms were a life saver when it came to tending to personal hygiene needs so she was really grateful for that. Her dads weren't thrilled about it but they also had their own tethering issues so there wasn't much to be done or said about it except to adapt and not do stupid things. Also always keeping her bedroom door open. And no silencing charms at night. And there were a lot of looks from Tony.

Poor Bill. Honestly.

There wasn't anything to worry about. She and Bill were becoming good friends, and they both had an affinity for braiding each other's hair. To be fair, she really missed petting Sirius' hair but Bill was a good stand in for that.

That evening, she'd gone with Bill to the bar to get out and not just be stuck in her room for the night. Bill was chatting it up with a guy she didn't know so she let him be and sat about as far away as she could without getting snapped back over to him. A drink was in her hand that she was slowly sipping. She wasn't having a bad time, nor was she in a bad mood. She was just ready to not be stuck to someone anymore, no matter how great he was.

Octane was in a similar position as Gwen, in the sense that he was letting Stan have his conversations with Richie and the other's of that household. Sure, him and Stan were finding their balance - if that balance was that Stan was miserable with all of Octavio's constant talking, and going, and never stopping. Simply, Octane just didn't like standing still for too long, and always needed something to be doing.

But, Stan was cool. He was laid back and chilled, but he was cool - and Octane felt it was right to slow down for the man despite his own desires. At least, Stan jogged with him in the mornings. Maybe trampolines tomorrow? To be decided.

Almost sulking in boredom, he looked over to the girl that was a vague distance that resembled close. Snacking (because he was always snacking) on bar peanuts he looked at his bowl and leaned over. "Hola." His arm extended out. "Nuts..?" Octane asked with that stupid smile of his.

Gwen never minded a trip to the bar. The Spider-Web, as it was now called, was a fun hangout. She'd get to spend time with Peter, and that was always a plus for her. And knowing that Peter and Sirius were stuck together gave her sort of a two for one deal in the socializing department because Sirius was one of her favorite people, too. They were both busy shuffling around trying to not get too far from each other while managing to get drinks and stuff to people, so she was casually sitting at the bar waiting for one of them to be free.

Until, that is, someone else spoke to her instead. "Oh, hey," she said, and smiled a bit. She didn't know this guy that well other than by name but wasn't that what socializing was for? "Thanks." She took some of the offered nuts and popped them into her mouth. "How's it going? I see you're stuck to someone, too."

Listen, Sirius was missing an awful lot of hair petting this week, it was just an absolute fucking shame honestly. But he wasn't about to ask Peter to be a fill in for Remus or Gwen, either. It was impossible to fill the spots of his person slash wolf and best friend, anyway.

Speaking of.

Now that Pete was a few few off talking to his people, Sirius snuck out from behind the bar too, in order to greet Gwen with an energetic hug. "Youuuu," he said, a whine in his tone. "No skateboarding or band practice at all this week. Do you know how bored I've been?"

Gwen definitely was missing her best friend. It was fun being around Bill and getting to know him better, and she liked that they were becoming fast friends. But no one could replace Sirius. He was one of a kind and she loved him a lot. It was easy to find time to spend together when they were on their own, but it was harder being tethered to someone. You had to sort of find a balance between the two of you to keep up your own routine. Adding other people into the mix who were also doing that exact same thing was terribly difficult.

But Sirius was at the bar, and so was Gwen. So that meant they'd see each other. And thank fucking goodness because she was really needing that hug from her best pal. Gwen hugged him back tightly and didn't let go throughout the whining. "Terribly bored, I imagine," she said. "Aw. You miss me." She grinned and gave his cheek a peck. Slowly, she let go but did reach up to give his hair a little pet. "It's been so quiet without band practice. We've got so much jamming to do."

If Tony really had any complaints about the week thus far, it wasn’t with or about the person he was tethered to. Because Tony Stark had honestly just sort of lucked out by being stuck with a younger version of himself.

Sure, that was awkward as hell in some regards. Because they were the same and different all at once, and because Mark II was so much younger it was just — ridiculous. But they could circumvent a whole lot of awkward by binge working in their labs. When all else failed, get so distracted in work a day or two had passed. That was the rule.

Except Tony had to come up for air now and again because Gwen was attached to a grown man who was a little too good at flirting, and because Steve was doing that thing where he actually got anxious and sad enough to text him.

It was really for the best that they pulled themselves out of their work and headed on over to the Spider-Web.

“Alright,” Tony said, eying up the rest of the bar slash diner restaurant critically. “It’s a bit like musical chairs in here. Let’s math this out accordingly.” He paused, considering. “And have a drink first.” Once Tony moved to sit by Steve, he probably wasn’t going to give that spot up again.

As far as getting stuck with someone went, it was hard to feel too bad about being stuck with the older version of yourself. And maybe it kind of helped that Steve got himself stuck to someone else too, so they we're all kind of living their less than ideal lives right then. But it wasn't as bad as all that, he could spend a lot of hours keeping his head down and working and with Tony around it was kind of neat to consider the idea of getting him to help out, not that he was all that eager to make the first move at that. But give it a few more days and he thought he might just consider it.

Tonight though, tonight they were gonna have a drink and mingle a bit and give Steve and Tony a break and let them hang out eventually while Tony the younger sat somewhere at what would no doubt be an awkward distance from them. So yeah a drink first, that was a great idea.

"Sure yeah." He agreed nodding, "Sounds good," He nodded while, "Figure everyone is gonna be trying to work out the best way to end up sitting next to their favorites as best they can." But a drink to start things off, that'd be great.

"Nothing like the weirdness of this place to bring people together." He said with a low huff after they moved up to the bar to get a drink, he raised his glass to Tony with a wry grin on his face.

The fact that it was mostly a double edged sword was kind of helpful. If Steve had been unattached to someone, Tony (the younger) would have had to deal with a lot more hanger ons than just Tony. But everyone was stuck to someone and unless they all planned on just hanging out in one room all the time (like now) there was no really good way to wrangle getting everyone around them that they wanted. So they just had to go on their own for a while.

"Right. it's not undoable, but there's gonna be some tugging and complaining. Let's make this easy as it can be, huh?" He wasn't really sure who Tony might want to see, if he was being honest. They didn't talk enough, the two of them, even after being stuck together all week. He wasn't sure who Tony called his own. The weird little Loki, maybe. He'd seen them being chummy before, strange as that was.

He raised his glass in silent cheers before tipping it back a little more quickly than he normally might - but sometimes needs must. "You know," he said after a beat. "Technically we could remote pilot our suits to do pretty much anything we needed without having to get up. It's not exactly the same but..."

Claire liked to be alone, she liked it a lot. She enjoyed doing yoga alone and reading books alone. What she really liked was to pee alone. Life was currently a little less than perfect. Of course she was counting herself lucky, because Bucky was great. He was kind and didn't stare at her ass or go around trying to stab folk. But he was missing his husband and she was missing her people and it showed, every morning they woke up next to each other was kind of a disappointment, making the best of it or not.

She needed a drink or 40.

It was easier to link her arm with Bucky while they walked, but once they'd arrived she leaned against his back and let him have a few minutes where she wasn't just hovering looking at him.

And while she wanted to run at him as soon as she saw Peter she was forced to simple spring in place, gesturing at him wildly.

Truly the very best part of a night out like this was the fact that it got both Claire and John out too, and Peter was man enough to admit that he missed them both wildly. Sure Sirius was nice enough, but he wasn't either one of the people he liked best, just like he knew he was no substitute for Sirius' favorite one.

So when he saw Claire arrive he couldn't help the grin that lit up his face any more than he could help his own stupid waving as if the bar was loud enough or packed enough to warrant any such theatrics. But this was who they were now, people who waved at one another across a room.

Together with Sirius they got the bar in what felt like a good enough place so that he didn't feel like he was neglecting anything, Peter came around the bar after Claire and Bucky had made it close enough so that he could pull her into a hug, dragging her against him and breathing out a low sigh, "Have I mentioned how much I am not a fan of all of this?" He asked her, glancing over her head looking around for John too because if there was going to be a hug they needed to get him in on this too. Then they could both hear about how much he wasn't into any of this.

Since she'd got there Claire and Peter had kind of just been a them. Like she was a stray cat that he'd taken home and fed so long it had moved in. But cuter and with sexual tension. Claire had just got used to him being in her space and having Bucky in her space just wasn't the same. It had been a slow burn when it came to something more romantic or physical, before that it had been companionship. Claire had been terrified when she arrived, broken and hurting and Peter had made her feel safe again.

In other words she missed the hell outta him.

Finally he got close enough that she could stop just bouncing around and instead wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. "Spider Creep," she said with a sigh. "I love you like crazy, you know that?" Claire told him when they'd pulled back enough to rest their faces together.

It wasn't like Steve hadn't seen Tony. He'd seen him. Like with an audience of what felt like 45 people and for someone that really preferred their own company and he was downright shy it was torture. Lucky Richie never stopped talking and it was a distraction from moping around constantly. Actually parts of it he'd liked, like how Richie was actually enjoying himself in the gym and that he made Steve laugh. It wasn't all awful.

But what was awful was how Tony, who he was newly engaged to hadn't been home in what felt like forever. There was only so many punching bags Steve could split.

They'd positioned themselves to get a little time away from each other, as away from each other as felt comfortable and Steve smiled as Tony approached. He was a little tired, a little sick of it, but always happy to see him. They assumed, like everything else here, it wouldn't be forever and they'd just have to ride it out.

"Hey stranger," Steve said as he got closer.

Tony rather thought that if Steve was going to be stuck with anyone (who wasn't Tony), he'd actually gotten a pretty good match - someone who was prone to excitement and wasn't interested in sitting still and sulking -- like Tony knew Steve could be in the right environment. He'd have to thank the gangly guy later on for keeping track of Steve so well.

But right now, Tony really had eyes only for Steve -- who was so close now, it was almost torture. Sure, they were in public but everyone else was paying attention to their own people, the way they were sitting and moving in order to get more of what they wanted and less of what they technically didn't.

"Hey yourself," he replied, idly twisting at the ring on his finger before leaning in enough to steal a kiss that was, perhaps, a little less public friendly than it ought to have been.
