Explorean Resort, Cozumel, Mexico, Saturday

[spin_kick_snap]

Cozumel was about three thousand miles away from Fandom, so Kathy had no idea that there were storms or sharks about. She was sitting on the white, sandy beaches of Mexico, sipping her...somethingth...glass of sangria and reading reading an e-book series about a half-fairy knight who solved mysteries with her cat-prince lover.

It was better than it sounded, shut up.

Every so often, the waiter assigned to the private beaches would swing by to bring her more glasses of sangria (which was how she's lost count of the number she'd had) and clear away the empties (making it impossible to keep track). He'd appreciated that she spoke to him in Spanish and was polite with her requests and so sometimes also brought bowls of fresh fruit for her to snack on while she lounged in the sun.

Basically, this vacation was the best thing ever and exactly what she'd needed. And she was going to continue to enjoy the peace and relaxation until her phone beeped with a text from Raven.

...No. Not in the least.

"We can figure it out," Kathy offered. "Didn't you try to teach me how to do nothing once upon a time?"

[tigerundercover]

Sure it was! You slept outside and everything!

"Yeah . . . But vacations are doing nothing with, like, purpose."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Right, which is what I good at," Kathy reminded. Or, well, it used to be. Shh, she was still claiming it. "So clearly, by our powers combined, we should be awesome at vacations!"

[tigerundercover]

"That's clearly unassailable logic."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Pretty much my other superpower."

Kathy, no.

"We're all just glad you don't use your genius for evil," Raven said. Then instantly worried that that would bring up memories of being a zombie.

But zombies were by definition not geniuses, right?

[spin_kick_snap]

Nope. Though if Raven accused her of being an evil genius cannibal, they might have had a problem.

"Can't make any promises about that," Kathy said easily, no hint of concern in her voice. "I'm a loner, Raven. A rebel."

Who quoted Pee-Wee Herman movies. Sure, Kath.

[tigerundercover]

"You remember I've met you, right"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Hurtful," Kathy said. "I'm very rebellious. There was that time!"

There had to be one. Hadn't there?

[tigerundercover]

"Right, that one time. Well, that changes everything."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Damn right it does."

Literally nobody believed you, Kathy.
