After coming off of a really crappy date With the Black Widow, the Juggernaut was feeling somewhat down. It wasn't the fact that he got no where with her or that she was a cold frigid bitch. It was basically that he had no one to confide in. Well, that wasn't entirely true. Colossus was his best friend but it just wasn't the same.
He had been walking down the street for about an hour, getting closer to Central park. There were a few joggers out at this time and Cain tried to stay off the path that was laid for them. He was about to settle under a tree and relax when a sound of frustration hit his ears.
"Dammit! Not today! I don't need this!" Came the voice of a man that Cain saw as he rounded the tree and approached the scene. The man was standing near a luxury sedan and swearing up and down about a flat tire.
"Hey buddy. Calm down. You got a spare?" The man appeared fearful for a minute then snapped out of it and stammered. "Ummm yea but no jack." Cain chuckled. "Relax, I can handle that If you run the tire iron."
Cain removed his overcoat. Letting the armor shine. He draped it over a parking meter and approached the side of the mans car. He tilted it alittle so he could grab the middle of the frame. With a slight grunt he picked it up and held it a waist level.
Things where going well when Cain heard a voice he hadn't heard in sometime...

"Hey Juggy, it has been too long, and I see you are still up to no good. Haven't you learned it isn't nice to mess with other's cars? Hm, eat pafs pal." She said sending a stream of high powered pafs at his face, some exploded in high intensity lights, others with loud noises and others exploded with concussive force. She hoped he didn't damage the car too badly, it would be a waste of a good car.
Jubes had fought Juggernaut on many occasions, but always had a little secret that she never told anyone. She felt Cain was a misunderstood, and lonely at heart man who craved acceptance and understanding. It could be her need to see good in everyone that made her hold back, or her heart racing in her chest.

Light and pain exploded in Cain's face and he dropped the car. The owner somehow saw it coming and jumped and rolled out of the way of the 2 ton luxury car as it slammed to the ground. Cain held his hands up to his face and waved them back and forth across his eyes, trying to clear his vision. He backpedaled and stumbled on the tire that was flat and had been removed form the car. Luckily a U.S. mailbox was behind him and was unceremoniously crushed under his bulk.
Cain vision started to clear and suddenly an image jumped to life. A young lady in a yellow thigh-length coat and spiky black hair was walking toward him. "Jubillee? That you darlin'?"

"Darlin? I am not anyone's Darlin." She positioned herself between Cain and the man and sent another high powered stream at him, this time it was not pafs, but a solid stream of multi-colored plasma, that was headed directly for his chest. This stream was a super heated concussive blast designed to hurt, hopefully. "Last time I saw you Cain, you were trying to kill Xavier, so what is your deal now, destroying property, rampage, or boredom?"

"Awww damn..." Cain managed to get that out before the plasma hit him in the chest. It burned like fire and pushed him back into a store window, shattering it. After he had come to a full and complete stop, Cain levered himself up to one knee then rose to his full height.
"Now thats enough!" He held his hands up. "I ain't hurtin' nobody no more." He brushed some dirt and other assorted debris from his chest. "And my deal here tonight is helping the man with the flat." Cain picked up the now crushed rim with a piece of rubber hanging off of it.

"Let me get this straight, you are pitching for the good guys? You weren't trying to destroy this man's car? Jeez, I am gone for a short time and I can't tell who is who, and what side they are on anymore, why does the world always go to pits when I am not here to make sure it stays fixed?" She looked from Cain to the car, back to Cain, and had a look of extreme confusion. She shook her head, opened and closed her mouth a couple times, pointed from Cain to the car, and just about sat down in the middle of the side walk in order to figure things out. She then said "Well then, I am glad you are on our side, I always suspected you could change, just don't tell Logan, he would go crazy..er."

"Its ok." Cain picked up the car again and the man reluctantly started fixing the tire once more. "Allot of people were surprised to see me on the good guys side when the war broke out. I'm surprised you haven't talked to Colossus. We were together over seas."
A few moments later the man was finished and Cains et the car back down, gently. the man offered his thanks and hurriedly got back in his land yacht and took off. Cain couldn't blame the guy for being spooked.
"So. I've had a crappy day. Wanna go get a drink?"

"I was in Africa for most of the war, and I haven't seen or spoken to most of the X-Men for a long time, I saw Kitty and Cyke, but I don't think the X-Men are for me these days." She had taken part in the war, fighting the Nazi Panzer division's in North Africa. She shook her head trying to get the images of blown up tanks out of her head. She nodded her head "Yeah, a drink would be great." She walked next to Cain, leaving space between them, but close enough to have a casual conversation.

Cain and Jubes walked roughly 7 miles. It would of course have been easier to take a cab but when it came to the human juggernaut, taxi's were not an option. They were quiet for most of trip except for the standard "how ya been" and "nice weather" crap. They crossed the final block and rounded a corner and spotted it.
The pub was small by New York standards and was sandwiched in-between 2 large townhomes. It had the average old age look of a building that had been standing a long time. Cain and Jubiliee walked up to a front door made of Oak that was so large that Cain didn't have to duck when they walked in. The smell of home brewed beer filled their nostrils as the walked in. A few patrons sat at tables here and there, none at the bar, so Cain decided to go there.
"I'm betting you have never been here before girl, few regular people have. This is a bar only for people with super powers. They cater to everyone here." He waved his hand around the joint. All manner of superhero memorabilia decorated the walls of the joint. From Capt. America's shield to Thor's hammer. Which Cain was pretty sure was a replica. "There ain't no waitresses or bartender. Just say what you want and it will be brought to you."

((OOC: Hope you don’t mind putting up with Abe for a few posts )) “Should have probably just used the suit’s WM systems.” Abe muttered to himself, complaining under his voice as he walked out of the toilet and back up to the bar. For some reason, Abe had thought it would be interesting to experiment with the suit’s compatibility with public urinals. It had been damn difficult to sort out, but he’d eventually managed to relieve himself without incident. Of course his own suit had waste management systems – you couldn’t exactly stop mid flight or fight when you needed to – but Abe, being Abe, just wanted to experiment. He found it to be more effort than it was worth. Abe ordered himself another drink – a tumbler of whiskey. He didn’t really get out all that much, and didn’t really have that many friends. He was only out today because he felt like alcohol was the only solution to the worries that plagued him after the interview at Stark Towers. ‘We’ll be in touch’ they said. Sure. . . Looking up from his glass, Abe was wondering if he should really be drinking in the armor. He certainly wasn’t going flying later in any case. It was then that he noticed somebody he knew here. “Hey Cain, how are you big guy?” Abe called out from the other end of the bar, using is own voice as his faceplate was retracted, allowing him to actually drink. He didn’t see the girl behind the giant of a man.

Jubilee enjoyed the walk, it allowed her to figure things out. She looked up as they neared their final destination and saw it was an old building, that she had never seen before. She followed Juggernaut in and nodded her head as he said that there were no waiters. She had been to a bar before, in Africa, and it was an interesting experience. She heard a man address Cain and she stepped out from behind Cain, and had to place her hands on his side to keep from falling over a table. She looked the man over and decided to keep her eyes open and mouth shut, for now.

Cain left a big hand in a wave to Abe. "Heya Abe. How are things?" He gestured to Jubillee. "Abe, this is Jubilee, Jubilee, Abe. Also know as Mach V. The other day we were across town putting out a fire of sorts. The Hulk. That wasn't allot of fun." Cain made a slight motion calling Abe over.
"Not that you probably care but I think Banner's is in good hands. I helped Natasha carry him back to her place. You may not like SHIELD but they can help him."

"The Hulk, I never really met him. Unless you count the times we ran into the Avengers, then it got all messy, no fun. Hi Abe, it is nice to meet you." Jubilee wondered why he was called Mach V, unless he could actually travel Mach V, and that would be cool. She had since removed her hand from Cain's side and had sat down in a chair, she wondered if they made a chair that wouldn't break when Juggernaut sat in it.
