The specials show up on the board the minute he gets there. Bartending's fun -- at least he had fun the last time he was back here -- and if nothing else, he'll have paid off that new set of clothes Bar gave him after his trip to Ellen's world. The last thing he wants is to be known as some kind of freeloader. He's always paid his way, ever since he was seventeen and found himself alone, and there's no reason he'd stop doing it just 'cause he's stuck here.

Tonight's Specials

Easy Action
Between the Sheets
A Goodnight Kiss


The specials make him laugh but hey, they're kind of appropriate and at least they go in progression. He adds one more thing to the board before setting up shop for the duration:

Pyramid advice & info always free

"Hey, Sam, right? The pyramid player?" asks Invincible, stepping up to the Bar. Behind him, a table is decorated with a bookbag, several textbooks, and a stack of paper. "Can I get a Coke? I have a stack of homework that I need to stay awake through." Behind the goggles, his eyes look tired, but it's the tired of someone who has been working hard, not someone who's been missing sleep.

"Invincible, yup." He takes the drink and drops a few bills on the Bar. "World History and Physics. I ended up having to take care of some business this evening, and I forgot about it until I was about crash. Shouldn't be too hard, but I can't go to bed before I get it done."

"Thanks, man," says Invincible. "I think I've got it; it's just that I need to do the work. We've got a substitute teacher, ever since Mr. Hiles blew himself up, and she's relying pretty heavily on the workbooks, at least until they hire a new teacher."

"The History's just reading that I need to finish. Ms. Butler likes to hit us with pop quizzes from time to time, just to make sure everyone's keeping up. Fortunately, it's the late Twentieth Century, so most of it makes sense."

"That's the last century," he explains as soon as he remembers that Sam isn't from Earth. "We just rolled over into a new one three years ago."

"Yeah, but I'm talking to you," says Invincible. "Two hours ago, I was having a fist fight on the Moon with a one-eye alien."

He pauses. "Man, that sounds so bizarre when I say it out loud...."

Invincible laughs as well. "Oh, sure," he says. "Just another Tuesday."

"It's been a weird Spring, ever since I got my powers," he says, "but it has its moments. The view of Earth from the Moon was amazing."

"I flew," says Invincible, much like someone else might say they walked down the street to the corner store. "Took me about half an hour, when I wasn't trading punches."

"As for Allen - that's the alien - it was a big misunderstanding. He was supposed to test a planetary champion, only he was supposed to go to Urath, not Earth. Earth isn't even part of the Coalition that Allen works for. It wasn't until I was able to actually ask him why we were fighting that we figured out where the screwup was."

"Personally, I'm glad we didn't have to finish the fight. Fighting in free fall is hard, and I don't think anyone else has hit me that hard."

Invincible nods. "It was the first time I dealt with someone that wasn't going to go down after one or two punches. I mean, I've faced a couple of guys who could knock me around, but it didn't really hurt before. Allen knew what he was doing; I don't think he would have hurt me badly, but he certainly rang my bell a couple of times. He's got a wicked left hook."

Mark thinks for a second. "I guess I should think about some kind of training. Boxing or something."

"Really? Cool," says Invincible. "I'll keep an eye for her. At the very least, she can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm not sure sparring with anyone who couldn't take an accidental punch. I don't want to hurt someone."

Allen was the first person who took what Invincible could dish out. He's not sure if that was durability or skill, or both.

(Well, Sam, I believe she has a lovely singing voice....)

"Thanks," says Invincible. "I better get back to my homework. The time stop is nice, but I need to get this done before I can get to bed. Later." He picks up his drink and heads back over to his table.
