Alien Dive Bar

Lyra was standing at the bar, holding a glass of alien alcohol, waiting for Winn. But he was late. And suddenly Winn ran in, getting through the crowded bar. "Hey. Hey, hey!" Winn exclaimed and Lyra looked at him right as he caught up with her. "I'm so sorry. Sorry I'm late."

"Better have a good reason," Lyra said.

"I do. I just got us reservations at Saxon's, which, on Valentine's Day, is, like, harder than getting a Hellgrammite to eat leafy greens, so...So we are set for 8:00. Um...And you can tell me about Starhaven, and I'll tell you about growing up in Newark. And then I thought we'd get a nightcap. You know, just talk some more. I just feel like, um, when dating, it's better to get to know each other-" Winn rambled but suddenly Lyra out her drink down and pulled him closer to her.

"I want you," Lyra said.

"Yeah. That's good, too," Winn said before they immediately started to make out.

The DEO

Iris was pacing the room upstairs, looking at a book about Mxyzptlk, when J'onn slowly walked in. "Kill...Tip...Seize...Um...Kltpzy...Kltpzyxm...Kltpzyxm!" Iris exclaimed.

"What language is that?" J'onn asked and Iris jumped before she looked at J'onn.

"Oh! Hi, J'onn. It's Mxyzptlk spelled backwards. Maybe Mon-El was right. I mean, how am I going to get him to say this? I hope Winn found something that will work. Where is he?" Iris asked.

"He should be here. Most of the relics tested negative for Fifth Dimensional energy, however, there was one that might be of some use," J'onn said before he looked to where the necklace was suppose to be, but it was gone. "Odd."

But Iris sternly looked annoyed. "Mon-El," Iris said.

Alien Dive Bar

In the alleyway, Mon was pacing around, anxious. "Mxyzptlk! Show yourself, you smug, grand-standing dandy," Mon called out.

"Oh, bummer sticks," Mxyzptlk said and Mon turned around to see he was laying on top of a dumpster, swinging his legs back and forth. "It's just you."

"I've come to challenge you, Mxyzptlk," Mon said as he quickly walked up to him.

"A Daxamite duel? I never had one of those before," Mxyzptlk said before he got off the dumpster. "For Iris's hand?"

"Yes," Mon said.

"To the death?" Mxyzptlk asked.

"Yes," Mon said.

"I accept," Mxyzptlk said.

"Good. But first-" Mon started.

"Buddy. If we're going to take part in a proper duel, we're gonna do it like the gentlemen that we are," Mxyzptlk said before he snapped his fingers.

Opera House

Mon was suddenly standing in on a stage, wearing 1700s attire. "What the-" Mon muttered.

"How do you like the duds, Monsieur Hamilton?" Mxyzptlk asked and Mon looked up behind him to see Mxyzptlk sitting up on the upper area, also wearing 1700s attire. "I'm a Burr man, myself."

He then snapped and he was standing behind Mon, who looked back at him. "He gets a bad rap, but let's be honest, he was the one who knew his way around a pistol," Mxyzptlk said before he opened up a case, and pulled out two old fashioned pistols. "Pistols at dawn! So revolutionary. I love it."
