"Right," Mona said. "So we're mixing mezcal, bloodwine, ketchup, chocolate milk, and pickle juice. In mason jars."

She did not envy the people volunteering to drink this cocktail. She'd seen a lot of crazy stuff in her years as a bartender -- she'd done a lot of it herself, even -- but this was perhaps the weirdest.

"Good luck to all of you."

"Great," Summer said dryly, "now all I can think of is my mom's tuna noodle casserole."

Which was not the thing someone wanted to think about when that was going on in their stomachs.

Still, she knew he was just trying to help, and she gave Captain Rogers a faint, strained smile. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, though."

Steve winced because yeah, not helping to think of that particular combination. "You're welcome," he said. "Just...drink it fast. It's how I got through all of the medications of the 1920s."

Summer snorted a little. "Good thinking," she said. "But I don't even think a spoonful of sugar will help this medicine go down."

She half wondered if it would somehow make it worse.

One thing that did kind of make it better, though, was knowing that Captain Rogers would be chugging this swill down, too. It was the little things in life that mattered most in times like these.

Steve winced again because sugar would definitely make this worse.

"You can do it," he said encouragagingly.
