She smiled at the praise, she was trying to do what she could for the fowl tempered fur ball. She was sure someone else would have done the same, or at least she would have hoped so. She recalled a time when the cook had been told to shave his body to hide his mutation, the effect had been worse then if had just kept the fur and so he had let it grow back.

"Teenagers usually are, but with powers mixed in, i/m not sure their would be much i could do. I can ID people, but i don't think the invisible man's going to carry ID or cash" she said. Her Powers forced her to keep a clear inventory count, but if someone could turn invisible or telaport the booze out. "Floating bottle maybe?" she offerd with a shrug though if a mutant could make themselves invisible, she was sure they could do so with liqueur.

"Honestly i have almost lived in the bar, a bit afraid the place might burn down without me. New York City's not a cheap place but it is beautiful. Still the Neighborhood look's worse then it is, most people seemed happy something opened. Im getting use to it though, i know most of the people who live in the area, a lot of them Mutant.s Back home i never found any Mutnats living in communities" She said, entirely unaware of the order's influence. The bar located just inside the order's further reaches of their insurance plan.

Looking around she made sure no other odd incidents were going on, assured the bar was safe, she grabbed a second bottile. checked it to confirm what she had assumed and with her other hand, she picked up the used shot glass and slipped it into the sink below the bar top. This time she mixed something that would taste more like chocolate milk with a kick. Glanceing back at the other bar tender she wished the girl had a useful power as well.

She understood his word's well enough. It had been some time however since she felt loves sting. "Well better now then when your married" she said the words forming from a perpetual topic at the bar in which men tended to at least in their words lose everything to their wives in the devorce. "People change as they grow as time moves on." she said with a comforting smile.

"The help is what i'm for, ANy kids involved?" she asked knowing that always made this kinda thing harder. She had no idea how long the two had been together, though she felt a guilty drop of hope in her chest at the idea the man was single. Still she decided now would not be a good time to act upon such a thing. Instead she merely glanced over her shoulder at a sound from the kitchen which sounded like loud indistiquishable curse words, but as her cook did not run out she assumed everything was fine.

"Now, now, Flattery will get you far" she said with a smile. It was not quite true, but she was not about to complain either. She felt like she could connect with Nate outside of the bar, which had in the few short months of operation, become most of her waking life. She turned and served a drink to a blue fish looking mutant, then looked back at him. "Hon, i could have you swimming in comfort" she said enjoying the intended double meaning. Using kiddie pools to create various mixtures was her preferred method.

Her attention was forced away as she was forced to yell across the bar over the noise at the same drunk fish mutant she had served moments earlier. "Stay out of the fish tank" she yelled, as across the room the fish mutant had a foot in the tank and looked shocked he had been caught. "Go home for the Night Roy, that's the third warning this week she shook her head. "Ill cook ya with my laser eyes if you don't" she said, the and seemed to consider this and headed for the door. Few knew of her power so it was easy to trick drunks into thinking she had a verity of other powers she only wished she had.

She grabbed a different bottle, this one was milk white bottle, it was unmarked otherwise. A white ribbon around the neck noted it as another of her concoctions. She opened a red bull as well and mixing that with the bottle she made two shot's. "It tastes a bit like dr pepper." she said as she passed him the shot. "Hope nothing to bad, brought you back to the the only bomb shelter that protects those outside of it, more then those within?" she joked with a soft smile.

The day had been slow but the bar had not gotten a decent day crowd since they opened. She once again considered the idea of a giant obviously poor sighted Raccoon man doing the food, might have been part of it. Still he did cook half decent food and most people were to drunk to care within an hour of arriving anyway. Despite his abrasive personality he was an honest man and she was unsure he could actually get a job anywhere else.

She had been surprised that the mutant related incidents in her bar had been so far minor. she knew it was a matter of time but was grateful all the same. She had however replaced a tv when a mutant with fire powers melted it on accident when he got angry at the NHL lockout. She never understood the high Emotions that came with sports and why people sometimes did dumb things over them. However she did know enough about some of them for bar pools.

She served a man, who looked like nature had constructed his body out of thin tubing and suppressed a mild shudder as she watched the liquid flow through his body. Turning her head away to avoid looking at the vital organs any more then she had to, she caught site of a man she vaguely recognized and was grateful for the distraction.

"What can i get ya?" she asked with a smile, and brushing her curled hair from her face. "You Look like you have seen a few better days" she said looking at the man. It was quite hard to forget those eyes, now that who the man was more clear to her after thinking for a few minutes. A second bartender tended to the other side of the bar which was larger then most, for the size of the bar.

He took the 120 like a champ and seemed less then fazed by it. The man had a good tolerance, not the average weak end hero who thought he could drink. She preferred a direction when it came to drinks but had worked in a bar long enough to work with it. She did not voice she was fairly sure the man could not out drink, it's supply on tap if one liked the taste of alcoholic water. Such a thing would be costly and for all she knew the guy's mutant power was being immune to getting drunk.

"Point taken, and i could take a shot with you" she said with a shrug. Her power as a side effect had given her a decent tolerance, though the stuff she considered now was a bit past her typicality enjoyment. She took a bottle with a pink ribbon tied to it's neck, checked it and nodded to herself. Her Land lord had yelled the last time she had made a batch of the stuff but it had a a decent cherry flavor though.

SHe grabbed two shot glasses and setting them down poured the 160 proof alcohol . "This is from out west and that's what im here for, to help people feel better again" she said. It was true, though money played a good amount of it as well. When Gane bane did, she would touch glasses and drink her shot, feeling ht booze warm her neck and twist her stomahc slightly, though she grabbed no chaser.

"You may be right" She said considering his words. She did not work in the best business for romance and was in a bar long enough where she rarely liked to be in one when she could get away."Honesty mean's a lot as well of course both in business and in love" she said honestly. Love was a complicated business perhaps more then the one she was in.

He had a way with word's had he not mentioned he was taken, Melissa might have decided to be more aggressive. Rather then to entertain the idea, she decided to answer his question. Although nearly for the first time since they started talking she broke eye contact for longer then a few moments, looking slightly embarrassed. She then looked around the bar and confirmed it was still empty. Once recovered she gave a smile from her moist pink lip's. "Your right, but were not nearly close enough for me to show you that" she said jokingly even puckering her lips slightly.

"Actually....well....I turn Water into wine so to speak." she said quite nervous about actually revealing her power. She did so only quietly with people who seemed trustworthy. Nate seemed like a good enough guy, but she knew their were those out there who might try and turn their own profit from her.

It made sense, some mutants could be very dangerous if they chose to be, their was no shortage on History channel specials on criminal Mutants. Their various powers giving them a leg up on many measures set to guard against the average criminal. It was also now a bigger risk for her she considered not having many means other then the proposed Adapted, but she would have to weigh that option later on by getting a feel for how people might think of it.

"Might be a pain to proof the cat anyway and i'm sure i'll have enough cat fights without them" she said. Sure she was sure the joke was not much better then the first, but he had followed up on that and so she continued the humor. The idea she might encounter a cat based mutation entertained her mind briefly, as she imagined charging to dangle string.

She blushed slightly at being called pretty. She was sure she could find someone to show her around as well. "Your probably right, I might have even met a few like that already" she said. Still she knew the bar still demanded far to much attention to leave it for long, not to mention she habitually slept till noon.
