Barney Ross was at his favorite bar, 'The Rusty Barrel,' a simple place where the faces were familiar and the conversations always leaned towards war stories and successful missions. The Expendables team was there, celebrating yet another mission completed successfully. Laughter echoed through the room, bottles of whiskey and Beer were raised, and a sense of camaraderie filled the table.

Barney was leaning against the bar, a Beer in hand, his gaze attentive to the movements around him, always maintaining a discreet vigilance, as usual. He was lost in his own thoughts when, without realizing it Damian Bumped into his shoulder, almost causing his beer to spill.
