Doesn’t even check the year.

Here is here whenever that is.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

Alive…

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta it in real time.” He chuckled tapping on the bar top.

“Doctors will actually be pissed that I’m here but just needed to get out.”

Experimental treatments and migraines has been all he’s experienced in the last month.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta That makes him take a long drink shaking his head as he fights it down.

“I do.

I had to stop, medical retirement.”

He taps a finger to his head at the temple.

“All that jumping here and there kind of took its toll. New tech has its hazards and I’ve been learning about —

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta plan on surviving it.

…Maybe I’ll crash on a beach and drink under the sun until my liver gives out.”

Sat for a bit as if actually contemplating it.

“Shit. What would you do if you actually retired?”

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta He grins and chuckles a bit at the thought.

“I tried the office job dad always wanted me to have, that lasted about a month.

Reconnecting with ex-wife?” Gives a look that says that went as bad as you could imagine.

“I think I was supposed to be what I was and honestly didn’t —

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta Is it? Can’t blame you, though.”

He settled back slowly, passing the glass across the bar between his hands.

“Retirement is not all that you want it to be.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t miss being punched in the face, but you know…”

Frank shrugged. You miss everything else.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta “Part retirement part learning when to shut the hell up.”

Cracking a smile before it disappears behind his glass, finally taking the long-awaited drink.

“Speaking of not changing.” He mimics her tapping under the eye. “Don’t think retirement is coming up for you anytime soon —

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta It’s been months.”

If not years, never been too good with time since working.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta “Taking pity on a retiree? Thank you.”

He leans on the bar towards the bartender. Rum and coke, his usual as of late.

Frank doesn’t have the same wear on him since retiring, no more busted noses. Same perpetually exhausted look though.

“Well how have you been? —

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta Wouldn’t be too long before he arrived. Stepping into the bar looking around and quickly spotting her.

He takes a seat and wastes no time signaling for the bartender.

“Hey.” Frank nods and offers a small smile.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta He’ll be there.

It’ll get him out of the apartment finally.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta Yeah his means of travel has a few side effects that have started showing themselves.

Well if she wants he’s always open to a drink or three.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta There is and funny thing about that he’s just been in his apartment. Didn’t really want to retire.

…Is she okay?

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@DevoutVendetta Suppose he’s semi-retired.

Been trying to enjoy that.

So still fighting crime and saving the world. Glad she’s still kicking.

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@Fracti0ninTim3 *Catches her and just happy hums at the kiss.*

I like the idea of that. Now what should we do to celebrate the occasion?

[Frank @FrankAnvil]

@Fracti0ninTim3 Appears behind.
