You haven't set foot in there since you were a kid, and you fully intend to sell it off as soon as the paperwork clears. But when you arrive to assess the mess, you discover the one thing keeping the place barely alive: Bucky Barnes, the lounge’s resident crooner, swaggering his way through cigar smoke in gold chains, open shirts and sunglasses. Who even wears sunglasses inside anyway?
You wants to shut it all down.
He refuses to let it go.

So, how exactly do I make sure I'm really useful enough to not die again too soon?
