This, he thinks, has to be a decent bachelorette party.

Maybe not for the average bride, maybe other people out there want strippers and sashes that read BRIDE-TO-BE and phallic decorations, but Peggy had made it very clear to John that she wanted none of that.

So he'd rented out a bar. An entire bar. The guest list isn't particularly extensive, they don't need the entire bar, but he'd seen no reason not to do it anyway. It means they have the entire place to themselves, they can control the music, and the bartender has only them to serve. And John has paid a flat fee for the bartender and the serving staff, plus given them a significant tip, so they're attending the party perfectly.

The bar is nice, with comfortable chairs and several pool tables, as well as a well stocked jukebox that he thinks has just about anything someone might think to play. Maybe not Dutch, she probably knows songs none of them have ever heard before, but there's probably plenty on the jukebox she'll still enjoy.

There are appetizers, lots of them, covering just about any option a person could want. The same goes for alcohol.

All in all, for someone not all that inclined toward attending parties, he thinks he's done a fairly good job capturing something Peggy will enjoy. And that's the point of tonight, giving her a party to celebrate her future and everything that's to come with people she enjoys spending time with.

"Oh. I'm sorry, I'm not in the actual wedding party. I thought you were asking who I knew." Stephen feels a little more out of place here upon realization, though he had been invited, so he doesn't think he's unwelcome. He used to be so good at social engagements, but he's rusty after having been secluded away at the Sanctum for so long.

"Cloak," he corrects automatically, and smiles. "I wouldn't want to pull focus."

"A groomsperson, though, hm? It seems Peggy's creating her own traditions," he adds, motioning to the room at large, which is attended by more men than women.

"I was also teasing," Wanda says. Stephen reminds her of Tony Stark in many ways and she's willing to bet that one of their similarities is that he's also an only child. Having a twin has her well-attuned to teasing and sarcasm and she almost never takes a word at face value.

"I know them both. I thought they would be afraid of me but..." Aside from Peggy's early discomfort, there's never been any real distance between them. Once she'd proved that her intentions weren't bad, Wanda had become a friend and now here she is.

"Why would they be afraid of you?" Stephen asked, eyes narrowing some in genuine confusion. He knew there had been news stories about what happened with Wanda, but they were far beyond Peggy and Daniel's time. Unless Tony had discussed them, but he wasn't sure why Tony would speak of Wanda as though she were someone to be frightened of.

"I'm not the first Enhanced they've met," Wanda says. "Besides, with the time period they're from and the accent I have?" If it were that alone, she doesn't even think she'd blame them. Yet Daniel has been warm to her from the start and Peggy had quickly come around once they met. She's scared of being feared, but not from them.
