Who: Anyone who wants to come by
What: Grand-opening party!
Where: Pancho's Bar
When: Friday Night

The streamers were up (because Jan had insisted), and the bar was as ready as it ever would be. Alcohol was stored in a few make-shift shelves on the back wall and a relatively well-cobbled together bar was freshly polished and ready to go. It wasn't the most well-put-together, place, but Pancho's definitely resembled its namesake in terms of dim lighting, chipped tables and a floor that looked like it should be sticky. All in all, Carol was pretty proud of what they'd made. The minifridge was even a good choice since it allowed them to keep some drinks cold (they were going to have to find a larger one in the future, though).

She had warned Peter that the pizza oven needed to be ready by that evening, but she wasn't sure how on the ball with that he was. She'd been busy doing damage control on some electrical issues they were having with the fridge and double checking to make sure they actually had drinking cups (that took a little bit of maneuvering, but Clint came through with the coffee mugs). Yup, vodka from coffee mugs, a mini-fridge filled with a variety of stolen beers, and mismatched chairs. And, of course, the balloons. The annoying, awful squeaky balloons that had floated into a couple of corners of the room, save for the two that kept dragging on the floor and that Carol dreaded would pop at some point that evening. Definitely professional.

Karaoke was set up in one corner of the room with a make-shift stage and Christmas lights (Yes, more Christmas lights) decorating around it. Old 80s rock music blasted from the speakers for now, and Carol stood behind the bar, ready to serve as needed but more than willing to drag anyone else into the position should they so choose that evening.

"He thinks so too," Tony pointed out. It probably should have been sobering, but frankly, he was used to it. Bruce was pretty used to it too. They'd drank about it, Tony'd teased about it and -- well. He always had liked poking potentially scary things with sharp sticks. It was how they'd become friends in the first place.

"I think it would depend on his mood," Tony corrected, tracking his finger around the rim of his mug. No, he didn't exactly know what Carol was capable of, but he could infer a lot from conversations with both her and Steve about it. She was a powerhouse heavy hitter with some sort of energy manipulation. And, he assumed, due to her youthful appearance but older age, she probably had some sort of healing factor like Steve did. If not more so.

It wasn't really the point. The point was there were very, very few things out that there could outmatch the Hulk. Assuming, of course, that the Hulk gave a shit enough to come out and play. Last he knew of it, Bruce had been having some pretty heavy performance anxiety. "But I also think you'd probably get along."

She would accept that answer for now. Taking a drink from her mug, she leaned on the bar a little and looked out over the patrons, considering what she might tell him. She hadn't exactly shown off since she'd gotten here. No reason. Flying around a little here, pulling up a few trees there, that was easy enough. But she would have to admit she was itching for a scrap. Sparring was Carol's favorite method of clearing her head. She just hadn't found anyone willing, yet. Maybe Steve, but he was busy with his gym.

"He seems like a good guy, and I like to think I'd get along with anyone who's not trying to kill me. Or pissing me off."

She noticed Tony was getting a bit of a glaze in his eye and she was starting to think about cutting him off. She was feeling it herself, which meant that he must have been pretty hammered by now (even a heavy drinker might struggle with consuming half a bottle of scotch in such a short period of time).

Then again, maybe not. "Here's to him showing up, then." She raised her cup in a toast then finished off the contents in one swig before refilling it again. "You might wanna slow down, Stark. Otherwise, someone's going to be carrying you home if you're not careful."

Most of them here -- or those who were Avengers at least -- were people who didn't sit still all that well. Even Tony was feeling the itch lately to get his suit on and to find somewhere where he could let loose a little. It was really a wonder that no one here had exploded and demanded a fight yet. Surely, it was coming. There was a 47% chance that Tony would be involved. Last time he'd done the math, anyway.

He blinked up at Carol and only offered a bemused sort of smile over her worry. "There'd have been a time when this wouldn't have even phased me," he said, which was practically an admission that yes, he was pretty sure he was phased now. "Don't worry too much," he said, waving his hand dismissively before standing and regarding the other bar patrons. "I'll mingle it off and have some carbs. I won't be napping on the pool table you don't have."
