Wade and OTA

Wade could deny the draw of the bar no longer. So far his search to escape the Enterprise had not been successful. Everything that might be fun was entirely off limits. He had made a mental note to try pick pocketing a member of the crew.

Until then he would have to settle for entertaining himself with the facilities on offer.
"I'll take a.. Pangalactic Gargle Blaster," he said as the bartender approached. The look he received made him shrug, "no? The reference doing nothing for ya? Ok fine. Just make whatever cocktail has the most alcohol in one glass and give me that. And put a little umbrella in it!"

The drink was bright, almost neon, orange. Honest to God orange. Thank God there was no one he knew around to see him drinking something tall and orange (apparently they didn't have little umbrellas).
"Hey this better not be a Sex on the Beach! I've got a reputation to uphold!" he complained mostly to deaf ears. With a sigh, Wade peeled his mask up to his nose, revealing his disfigured, scarred, skin and took a sip.
"Ooh, fruity."

Wade & Peggy

Peggy almost didn't visit the Deck Five Lounge that evening, exhausted as she was from the influx of new arrivals. But in the end she decided that it would do her good to unwind a little. She walked in and went straight for the bar, asking for a glass of red wine. There was some blend from some planet she didn't know or remember, but the bartender seemed to (she usually ordered the same thing every time she enjoyed the lounge), and that was enough for her. Her eyebrow arched at the sight of Wade holding a bright orange drink in hand. "Now that doesn't seem like the kind of drink I would have expected you to order," she said, playing into all the stereotypes of a superhero in costume.

Wade glanced over at Peggy and smirked, "Really? I think you'll find only the manliest of men drink something that can blind you if you look directly at it."
He regarded Peggy for a moment, trying to squelch the immediate dislike he felt. It wasn't personal, it was just that he needed someone to blame for having his weapons confiscated and the official liaison made an easy scapegoat in his mind. Hardly her fault really. In the same situation he would've made exactly the same call.

"You know, you lot better be taking good care of my guns. They're very special to me. Shot a lot of not-so-good people with them. I don't blame you for taking them. No telling what harm a masked, armed mercenary could do upon a star cruiser... or star destroyer... or whatever it we're riding," He spoke fast, without giving her much of a space to get a word in edgeways. "Speaking of which, I'm guessing you're not exactly the Spaceship type. What's a place like you doing in a girl like this?"

She arched an eyebrow. "I assure you that once your weapons have been catalogued and registered, you'll get them back. Though I can't imagine you'll need them here." Peggy didn't say that she had felt rather naked without her own gun, and she had had to give hers up a lot longer than the system in place now.

She tipped her head to the side and smiled. She didn't know what to make of him; it amused her. "I arrived here, the same as you did, the same as any of the other travelers did."

Wade rested his chin on a gloved hand and regarded her with perfectly innocent curiosity.
"No bright lights or spaceships descending from on high? Yeah that seems to be the pattern. Whoever these kidnappers are, they're pretty sneaky about it. I'm not easy to knock out, but I don't remember how I got here at all," He said, and took another sip of his fruity, blinding drink.

"So what's your story? Secretly an Egyptian goddess disguised as a Brit? Cyborg hive mind waiting till we're all asleep? Or are you one of those magic nannies? Ooh I hope you are. Do you do that bit with the flying umbrella?" He offered her a grin to let her know he wasn't quite being serious. Though deep down, Wade couldn't help but hope she really was a magical English nanny because honestly that would have been the icing on the cake of his 'devil' room mate.

"No one seems to know how we got here or about when it happened. I went to bed one minute and the next, I was waking up in a suspended animation nebula and was recovered by a ship and brought on board here. It's better now, for all of you. You wake up here. It wasn't always that way."

She watched him drink for a moment and then laughed. "I'm afraid it's nothing so exciting as what you've dreamt up in your imagination," Peggy said. "Agent with the SSR, most recently out of Los Angeles, and most recently from 1949."
