Eve slowly made her way to the bar. She had a long day and was in much need for a strong drink. She slowly made her way inside. Looking around she noticed a lot people in here. All about her age slightly older. She slowly made her way to the bar. She looked up at the bar keep. She ordered a White Russian and sat down on a stool.
This was exactly what she needed she looked around waiting to see what her night would entail.

In today's current climate and Ben almost certain he'd loose his job very soon as the credit crunch had recently hit the company he worked, perhaps he shouldn't be amongst his friends drinking until he could no longer see straight. However he was beyond the point of caring and figured that spending time with his friends would cheer him up. Well it seemed like a good idea when he called them, however when he actually got to the pub, all his friends seemed to do was annoy him. Every time they made some form of opinion on something, his mind was filled with rude insults on how little he cared.
Eventually he decided he couldn't take it and headed to the bar counter to get away from them. He waded his way through the crowd of people. Despite the recession hitting the globe, it hadn't seemed to affect the nightlife in New York. If anything, it seemed to thrive in the depression. When he eventually found the bar, he noticed the bar seats were all occupied expect a corner seat. With only a young brunette woman sitting next to it, he figured he could always ask. Talking to an attractive stranger was much better than talking to his friends. "Excuse me, is anyone sitting here?"

Eve raised an eyebrow when she heard a male voice. She shook her head. " Nope the spot is all yours. Eve took another drink and sighed softly. She looked at the male who just sat down. He wasn't that bad too look at. She wondered what brought him out tonight but she didn't feel like asking. " So what's your poison." Eve knew that was a stupid question but she couldn't think of anything better to ask at this time.
She started to wonder if this guy came here alone or if he was waiting for someone. It wasn't any of her business. but she had a right to be curious. She finished off her White Russian and signaled for the bar tender. " I'll get a long island ice tea. And will cover what ever this gentlemen beside me is getting as well. "

In his current financial status, it would have perhaps been wise to accept her offer to buy him a drink, but that went against a sort of moral code that been installed into Ben's behavior. Ben never accepted a drink off strangers, accepting it was not really best for first impressions. Only his friends were allowed to buy him a drink, he had already made a good first impression on them and was begining to wish he hadn't. Ever since the discovery of his powers and the first time he was able to put them to practical use in saving a woman's life, he had looked down upon them. Believing them to be wasting their lives in their dead end jobs. They reminded him too much of him.
"I'll have a beer, but I'll pay for it, I've just about got enough," Ben assured the woman. He bartender gave him his drink and left with his money. He took the first sip of his drink before turning to unknown brunette who had just allowed him to sit next to her. "I'm Ben by the way. And thanks for letting me sit here, not a big fan of sitting at the tables. It's surprising how busy this place is. Usually this time of the week there's enough room to swing a cat.. or at least I think that's how the expression goes."

Eve shook her head looking at the man again. " Alright. now I can save a few bucks." Eve was somewhat annoyed that he didn't accept her money. Cause for Eve there aren't many chances in her being nice enough to do that. She looked over and gave Ben a smile. " Hey Ben I'm Eve. " She just nodded her head when he kept talking. She didn't care about how busy the place usually was. All she wanted was a drink and this place was open.
" I wouldn't know I have never been in this bar before. But what does bring you out here."

Ben took a long sip of his drink when it arrived. It was good to have the refreshing taste of alcohol pouring down his throat. It must have been a fortnight since Ben truly had the chance to enjoy himself due to him working his ass off in order to convince his bosses not to fire him, but as the credit crunch hit his business, it would soon seem that was all for nothing. The troubles seemed to make the drink taste so much better. "Well I suppose I'm here because I've got nothing better to do. Oh, and I wanted to escape the noise. Family in the room above me are having a family party and I swear my flooring is essentially paper. Suppose, could be worse, could just be the parents staying at home... There's something deeply offensive about listening to two people doing the horizontal married mash."
After taking a sip from his drink, he looked at Eve. "Tell me Eve, and this may seem a little out the blue but I figure this sort of question would be better asked to a stranger rather than a friend. Do you ever look at your friends, work and even this place, and just think that your much better than all this? Ever think that you deserve much more than you have, even though you know the whole world would tell that you should be lucky for what you have?"
