Here's a face that hasn't been around lately. But he's never forgotten the Bar, even when he's been busy being a world famous beloved hero.

Cy is sipping a milkshake and intently studying something on a projection emitting from his wrist-computer. He's so intent that he isn't wolfing down the snack.

Open to interruption.

The back door opens and a woman walks in sweating and carrying a sword. She walks up to the bar and orders a smoothie. An electric blue smoothie appears, "Thank you lady bar."

She then turns towards the light and asks, "What are you watching?" she wasn't aware that you could get a signal in bar.

"It's some schematics. Nothing I would call entertaining." He rotates the view to the woman, and sees her sword (as well as her). "Nice sword."

Amanda looks at the schematics, "Schematics to what?" the former thief find schematics more entertaining than most.

Turning towards he sword and smiles, "Thanks, It's served me well."

"My operating system." Which he promptly shuts down. "No offense, but I don't like to share that much detail with everyone."

Raising her hands, "No offense taken." she takes a seat and a sip of her drink. "I can understand."

Offering her hand, "I'm Amanda."

"Cyborg. He takes her hand with his rather large robotic hand.

Amanda shakes his hand back, "If you don't mind, where and when are you from?"

"Jump City, CA, 21st century!" He like where he's from. And when. "You?"

"Currently, London England, 21st century!" she likes where she is from too.

"Only been there a few times, always in passing." Usually chasing the Mad Mod.

"I love London, I've had some very good times there." she gets a mischievous grin for a moment as she remembers past trips through London. Then returns to the present.

"I've been to California. I've never heard of Jump City." she suspects that they are from different universe. "What is it like?"

"It's really cool. It's on the bay, and has the best weather. Never snows. It can rain sometimes, but it doesn't get too hot, the way the rest of the state does. It's always been home." He smiles broadly.

"That sounds like paradise. Is there much to do there?" because good weather is only half of the battle.

"Depends on what are you into, I guess. Gotta admit, I never have time to do much there these days." And hasn't in a long time.

"That peaks her interest, what keeps you busy?"

"Don't laugh. The pizza places and the game stores." He still goes to them, but it's not like it was when he was a teen.

"Hey to each their own" she doesn't laugh, "I prefer museums and the circus."

"Circuses...I think there used to be one that came through, but I don't know if it's still around." Nope. Bankrupt. "But we do have museums. I just usually don't see them as a visitor."

"One of the best parts of being part of a Circus is the transient nature of the group." she smiles, "Then in what capacity do you visit museums?"

"Chasing crooks. What else?" He assumed by now that everyone recognizes a superhero when they see one.

Amanda assumes nothing here, "You could have been a thief in the night? Or, You could work there? Though I suspected that was the reason."

"I am way too big and noisy to be a thief in the night." Maybe a thief in the day? Nah. "We used to get asked to round up supervillains looking for rare jewels or dinosaur bones."

"Does your world have much of a market for dinosaur bones?"

"I think so, but when supervillains steal dinosaur bones, it's not to sell. More like to make clones or add to trophy rooms." That movie with Steve Carrell's voice? More accurate than you would think.

"Okay, cloning dinosaurs just seems like a bad idea. I've seen the movies and all."
