Devil's Nest [evening]

Jack was behind the bar trying to figure out how he was going to pour drinks when all of the cocktail shakers had turned into nests tonight, which explained the specials.

"Everything I don't have t' mix: 30 percent off!"

The Devil's Nest was open.

Not knowing what a cosmo was, Howard was safely sticking to scotch. And enjoying the music that sounded like actual music.

It might not be as happening as some of the places he was used to, but this place was good enough.

Steve had just needed to get out of his apartment for a little while, which was why he was in a bar. Drinking a Mr. Pibb.

A Mr. Pibb to Howard was like a Tab to Tony.

"Mr. Rogers!" Yes, Steve. He listened to radio. Thinking maybe it was a real radio station of music.
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - say what?)

Steve turned toward him, thought a few curse words, then said, "I thought I said Steve was fine, Mr. Stark."

"Coincidence running into you here, Steve," Howard continued amicably, gesturing over to the empty seat near him.

"Well, not really," Steve mused. "There are only two bars in town, and the other one has zombies. And karaoke." Which was even worse than zombies. If he had been Spider-Man, his spidey sense would have been tingling, but as it was this just seemed like a very bad idea he couldn't figure out how to politely get out of. Which was why he wound up sitting down next to Howard Stark. "How are you adjusting?"

"Swell," Howard replied, taking a sip of his scotch. "I heard about something called Jared Leto yesterday."
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - no I don't think so)

"Jared Leto? I don't know who that is," Steve said.

"Neither do I," Howard assured him. "We didn't have much time to get to know each other yesterday, Steve. I think we should correct that."

...not dirty. He was from the 40s, people!
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - Tony said what?)

Steve just found it kind of ominous. "Well, all right," Steve said, then, "Wait, how did you find out my last name? Did you listen to the radio broadcast?" GOD, BUTTERS.

"I was expecting music." Like normal radios. Or maybe a story.

"And instead you got the disturbing realization that everything you do on this island gets reported in a public broadcast?" Steve shrugged and took a sip of his drink. "Welcome to Fandom."

"Even this conversation?"

"Almost certainly, unless you've bribed any squirrels you saw around," Steve said. "But don't worry, they frequently misconstrue things or just get them completely wrong."

And make Tony cry by probably saying they were having hot, 40's gay love.

"Squirrels."

"I'm not making this up," Steve assured him. "Squirrels. Sometimes with little fedoras with--" he gestured. "Press tags. You can bribe them to keep quiet with nuts or liquor. Oh, and I'm not drunk, if you're thinking that."

"Can't get drunk?" Howard suggested, setting his scotch on a nearby table. For any squirrels who wanted it.
screwyoumarvel: (Steve - huh)

"No, as a matter of fact," Steve said, gazing intently at Howard not in a slashy way, squirrels. "So you do recognize me. I was wondering."

"Mostly I'm wondering if I've made the right decision in not contacting Colonel Phillips this morning," Howard replied, giving him a flat look.

"Well, the general's been dead for a long, long time, so probably that wouldn't have gone so well for you," Steve told him. "Or he would have been very confused. You'd have better luck with Sergeant Fury."

"...who?" Damn it, Marvel.
