I walk away from the viewing room and head to one of my favorite places in the tower the bar. With my dagger still in my hand I place it on the bar and take a seat. I look for the bartender when I see no one I jump over the bar and grab myself a bottle of scotch and take a sip of the drink leaning back against the shelves of drinks

"you know normally I am the one serving people behind the bar" I look over at the man in front of me.

"Joel?" I ask placing the bottle on the bar top

"the one and only. When did you get back I tried calling you but you never responded" I look away

"last night, I changed my number sorry here" I scribble my new number down on a napkin and slide it over to him

"cheers, so where did you go?" he ask

"I traveled, what have you been up to since I last saw you"

"well nothing exciting just working behind the bar and talking to sad alcoholics" he says making me laugh

"rude, I am your best customer"

"no your my worst customer, you never pay just drink and leave" he says laughing

"touché, well Joel can I get you anything to drink?"

"I don't trust you enough to not spill expensive wine all over my bar so I will just help myself" he says walking around to behind the bar. I sigh

"your no fun. I am not that messy"

"no but you did get blood on my bar and that turns people away" he says pointing to the dagger with Pavo's blood on it

"yeah sorry about that" I say walking back around so I am sitting on the bar stool in front of the bar

"your hair looks nice, different" he says motioning to my hair whilst getting himself a glass

"thanks your the second to compliment my appearance" I say holding up two fingers

"mm who was the first if you don't mind me asking"

"someone irrelevant" I say downing my drink. And I go to leave

"leaving so soon you have only had one drink, normally you have two or three" he calls I turn around and walk back to the bar and leave a tip

"I'm trying to change" I say smiling and walking away.

"Ms l/n Mr Stark is asking for you in his lab" Jarvis tells me

"tell him I will be right up" I turn and go back to Joel who smirks as he hands me the bottle of scotch

"trying to change huh" I walk away holding up my middle finger at him making him laugh

I reach the elevator and take a drink from the bottle. Enjoying the burning sensation it brings my throat.

"Ms L/n I must advise against drinking the whole bottle" Jarvis says as I skull the rest of the drink

"sorry Jarvis but I need to if I am going to speak to him" I say stepping out and heading toward the lab

I hear the familiar sound of AC/DC blasting from the lab speakers as I enter

"Tony you wanted me?" I ask making my presence known

"Jesus, y/n hello" He says startled making me laugh

I wait for him to tell me why I am here, while he just stares at me. I raise my eyebrows at him making him clears his throat

"just wanted to check up on you after Pavo" he says. I arch my brow and smile
