War Machine Bingo, M5: Bar/Club
What do you wish for?
The common phrase is that in a room of 23 people, there’s a 50-50 chance two people share a birthday.
On October 6th, two very different people meet in a bathroom.
James Rhodes is an honest man, working as a prosecutor for the SVU, who’s divorcing his emotionally abusive wife, Sunset Bain, on his birthday, celebrates at a Night Club, Black Order. There in a bathroom, he meets the owner’s, Thanos’ adopted daughter of the night club, Nebula, does he find out the sinister history on how Thanos collects his workers.
Nebula feels forgotten about, and spends her days drunk high and dancing on table tops for scraps of money that only a few bills will end up in her bank account. The rest in her ‘Father’s’ pockets. Asked to work on her birthday, she feels tired of it all and tries to hide in the bathroom for the rest of the night. After mistakenly going into the men’s bathroom, she talks to a faceless voice.
I will admit this really wasn’t what I was expecting as an Idea, but here we are. If I had more energy I would write a whole fic about this, about Rhodey healing from his ex wife’s mental wounds, Nebula finally freeing her sisters from Thanos, Rhodey and Nebula learning that they deserve love, that they find it in one another, but sadly I’m at a writers impasse. Maybe one day though.
