Who: Scarlet Witch OT Elixir When: Saturday Night Where: The Blue Danube What: Wanda invites Josh out for a beer in a place she hopes they won't be recognized
The place was disgusting, but at least no one here would recognize her. Or so the theory went. She wondered what Pietro would think if he knew she was there. He'd probably shit himself. That actually would be sort of funny. Maybe she should arrange a way for word of this evening out to get back to him.
Then again, the whole purpose in coming here was to get away from the internal politics of the Brotherhood, and have a chance to unburden herself with someone she felt like she could trust. Dr. Moreau had been right. She did need an ear and a shoulder outside of the people who looked to her for leadership. But neither he nor Ms. Adler would really do to fill that role. They were both simply too old. She didn't feel like she could unburden herself with them. Their old world manners made them seem remote, and there was a reason girls didn't tell their grandparents about... things. Lots of things.
But Josh... he met all the criteria for an ear. He was about her age. He was her friend, but not on the team. Not under her command. And she knew she could trust him.
So she'd called him and asked him to come meet with her and have a beer in this smelly, out of the way, shit pit in mutant town.
Taking her beer (bottled, and she wiped the bottle off before she opened it), she settled in a dark corner away from other patrons and stared pensively at the door, willing him to get here.
