Who: Bev & (St) John
What: A lox bagel, that's what
When: Now
Where: Through the doors, 1940s New York

Send a salami to your boy in the Army.

That was the slogan, an advertisement hanging up on the wall in Katz's Deli, world famous and a draw for regular schmo's and celebrities alike - Bev thought it was a nice idea, because they clearly stepped into a time when World War II was still going. And soldiers overseas lived off of rations that fell under the umbrella of 'godawful.'

It had been easy enough to find the place - the neon sign lit up like a beacon though, admittedly, Bev felt like she wasn't dressed for the times. It was supposed to be a date so she attempted to look decent, however, and had picked a striped sweater dress that hugged her nicely, with tall boots beneath - she was more 70s throwback than 40s, but whatever. At least they actually found an appropriate door, and didn't end up in Timbuktu or something.

She had a chocolate egg cream (though it contained neither eggs nor cream, discuss) and a lox bagel sandwich that was all about the salmon and she was surprisingly into it. "Should probably pick up some old-timey candy while we're here," she noted, poking her straw around in said egg cream. "Maybe that'd be a fun addition to the movie theater that is...slowly being built."

If Eddie and Stan could both stop for two seconds and pull their heads from their asses, that is.

You know those moments, where you open your mouth and say one thing in jest because you think you're so funny, but when the time comes you realize the other person took you seriously? This was one of those moments. John had called it a date, and Beverly really came through showing up dressed incredible. Which just like the norm, he was absolutely outshined by his compatriot in his plain jeans and shirt covered by a leather coat. Really, this wasn't an uncommon occurrence for Pyro and something he'd just have to get used to.

Sitting with Bev though with his own lox bagel and sipping on his black coffee he made a noise of agreement. "Yes," While agreeing with that, he did think of the other person who would have a hard-on for things from this era and that man was the boy scout himself - Steve Rogers. "The boy scout would like that." He commented setting his drink down with a smile. It felt weird if he was really being honest, a date that was - considering Kitty had been gone for something of a month. Truthfully he wasn't complaining either considering his company, but it was weird.

"Why is it going so slow?" John inquired. How hard could it be to get it set up? Set projector - point - watch? Right? What did he know?

"Which boy scout?" Beverly asked. "I was thinking Clint's husband." She didn't know Bucky well, but had heard a lot about him from Clint during archery lessons (she was getting pretty good, by the way - working those arm and shoulder muscles, she wasn't as noodley as she looked, she could heft a bow and a quiver of arrows just fine).

But no doubt they'd find some good stuff - things for their little community that would put a twinkle in someone's eye or a spring in someone's step. Plus, getting to soak in a piece of history - New York City during an era where Bev hadn't even been close to being alive - was kind of nifty too. Hoorah.

She snorted a laugh, sipping on her drink. "It's going slow because the ones in charge are idiots?" was her best guess. Stan was having some kind of existential crisis, according to Richie, and Eddie - well, Eddie had been upset ever since he found out about Richie's Psychic Problems secondhand. "I feel like I should just do it myself, Jesus."
