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.

Extricating himself from the conversation with Old Tony was one of the best things he'd ever done, and it was something he wasn't eager to repeat again even if it did help them both figure out how their lives were different and so much the same too. Maybe Loki would want to know about it at some point? Tony wasn't sure he'd want to tell him though. He'd have to wait and see how he felt about that when he was a little more sober.

For now though he got himself another drink and decided that he still wasn't going to talk to the Steves, he'd let his gaze wander over in the direction of them both multiple times that evening and decided instead he should talk to someone new. He'd always been pretty good at making friends, at least that's what he told himself. Sure he might come on a little strong, but it was part of his charm.

Which was how he found himself sitting beside a guy who looked - well amazing really, but also really nice and unfamiliar. All of that a combination that told Tony he should definitely try and say hello. So he came to sit by him and grinned. "Hi," He leaned up against the counter near him, "I don't think we've met yet. I'm Tony."

Clark wasn't a fan of bars. Not that he hadn't been to his fair share. He had, after all, gone to college. But, he supposed, he found little joy in something that didn't do much for him. If anything, it was nice to be around good company while those he cared about knocked back a few. There had been more than a few times where he'd been the sober buddy. The doofy persona he sometimes played up lent itself to that, anyway. Still, in a small town like this, with not much else to do, and only one person that he knew (so far), it seemed like a good idea at the time.

His wardrobe options were limited. Showing up in the cape seemed a bit much. So, he opted for a pair of jeans, a tight blue-t-shirt that he sometimes wore as an undershirt, and his work boots. He'd spent his time here just trying to get the lay of the land. By nature, Clark was shy. Hell, for most of his school life, he'd had to make himself small so that he could fit in and fade into the background, so that was something he was used to, so as he got to know his surroundings, he studied the people around him. So far, most of the people in this place were what most people would call heroes. He'd yet to find a villain. Well, save a few questionable people. But he was never one to judge too quickly if he could help it.

He didn't have much in the way of coats or jackets. Last time he'd been with his cousin, he hadn't been there for very long. So, he felt slightly self-conscious as he entered the bar. Maybe it was just the whole meeting new people jitters he often got in new places. He saddled up to a table and studied the room. Kara had told him about multiverse but he wasn't sure if he actually believed her. Now, though, he couldn't exactly argue. Though, so far, most of the people seemed to come from their own specific multiverse. None from his own. He wasn't sure whether to be relieved or not. He'd been lost in thought when someone had joined him. So much for that super hearing, huh?

He blinked and glanced over in young Tony's direction. "Uh, hi." He offered him a flash of that farm boy smile. "Nice to meet you." He pushed the glasses that sat on the bridge of his nose up just a bit.
