every once in a while, there's something that will spark his interest, something that's a bright flash of color in a bleak world. theirs is a world of monsters and villains, of big heroic clashes and final showdowns. he'd ducked into this bar for a quick drink and a few minutes to relax but he's captivated by the brunette nursing a drink beside him. )
