"You know Shawn, most Agents go on a mission before getting drunk, not the other way around," Jack said as he pushed his way up to his partner at the bar.

"Wondered when you'd show up. Get tired of sitting at home all alone?" Shawn asked, downing a shot of he-didn't-know-what.

"What are you doing here? We're bound to get a mission any minute," Jack said.

"Relax kid, it's a party. Try socializing for once," Shawn said, turning to face his partner.

"I'm not a kid, Shawn. And do you even know why they're having a party?" Jack said, glaring at his partner.

"Somebody nearly died, didn't, and killed the nut responsible. Reminds me of Gotham," Shawn said, pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.

"That somebody also took out Rose Potter, one of the biggest, meanest legendary badfics out there. And if we don't get back, they might assign us something just as bad," Jack said, grabbing one of the many copies of the Multiverse Monitor that had been left on the bar.

"Neat. Whoever it is, we ought to send them a thank you card. Why don't I sit here, and think about what to write in it?" Shawn said, turning back to the bar.

"You're not leaving, are you?" Jack asked, sitting down next to Shawn.

"To deal with whatever nasty thing they throw our way first? Not a chance," Shawn said, scavenging for an unattended drink.

"Fine. I'm going to need to be drunk to deal with whatever this brings on our heads," Jack said.

"That's the spirit! Speaking of spirits, I'm going to find the barkeep. Poor guy must be up to his shoulders in drunken fools at this point.
