A bevy of shot glasses line up along the dirty counter. He's been here a few hours now, mentally entrenched in the events that took place in the Wundagore. It's too much to go home - more memories lie in wait there to assault him. And to put the proverbial icing on the cake, the news rags are all filled with the latest news: the two families he's spent most of his life attempting to take down are about to be one. With their resources combined, they'll be near-unstoppable. Xavier can do what he wants to do with impunity.
But all his thoughts keep coming back to Raven. The barkeep gives him a look. He holds up three fingers for more bourbon. "An' leave th' bottle this time," he adds.
There are some days he wishes he didn't have to fight his healing factor. Getting wasted would be a welcome diversion. And yet, he doesn't stop trying. Better to get it out of his system before he goes back home to Marion. She doesn't need to see him like this.
