There is a most interesting sight near the door this morning.

More specifically, there is a Jordan Kennedy, coming and going. Each time she comes in, the young woman with the mechanical forearm brings with her parts and components of some kind of machine, setting them in neat piles over an around a table.

She is quite obviously trying to fill as little space as possible, but the piles are growing and growing. Also, the girl is obviously getting tired and sweaty from the work, even with the minimal clothing she is wearing.

Help would probably not be turned down, curious people would probably not be sent away either; one way or another, someone ought to check just to make sure it is not a death ray.

[ Jordan Kennedy ]

Jordan is not much in a snuggly mood, but close is okay.

She has issues. Lots of them.

He's used to women with issues. None of the women he's ever known has been issue-free.

He is content to just lie there with her, close but not too close and relax. Maybe doze a little.

But Jordan still has too much energy to just lay still: she moves, sitting up. "I think it's time for a swim."

Getting up, she peels off her top and shorts.

And...there went all the drowsiness, peeled off with Jordan's outer clothing.

"Damnit, Jordan."

He pulls himself up and grins.

"What?" Jordan raises a brow at him, puzzled. "What's wrong?" But she is also on the way to the water, moving with a light step on the sand.

He follows her, resisting the urge to touch her.

"You're really gorgeous."

And blushing.

Jordan is blushing.

Damn it, why heroes keep doing that? She does a short sprint and dives into the water, the shock of cool onto her skin serving to break the embarrassment.

Some.

He follows her closely, moving into the water a little slower than she is.

It's one of the traits that heros have...they can charm girls.

He does sneakily reach out and tugs gently on the string at the back of her neck..

Well, if he is really sneaky about it... she will take a while to notice.

Coming up, Jordan treads water, not realizing she is putting up a show.

And he'll enjoy his handiwork, and wonder how badly she'd hurt him if he managed to undo the bottoms.

It would depend on him being stealthy.

Jordan submerges again, surfaces diving against an incoming wave.

And look, her top came off completely. It would be a shame if it disappeared, right?

A terrible shame. Such a shame that he sneakily grabs it before she can notice, dives under the water, and buries it under a rock.

What now, Jordan?

He comes up behind her, and tucks her hair behind her ear.

"You look even better wet. And I mean that in the lake-water sense...not..."

Yeah, he'll let that hang there.

She laughs, turning to poke him. "Soaking wet looking like a drenched cat?" She treads water backwards, and the Beetle should enjoy the sight. In a bit her skin will adjust fully to the water temperature and she will notice something is missing...

He chuckles back at her, trying his hardest not to make the dirty joke staring him in the face.

"It's better than being a wet squirrel. You should see him some time. It's pretty funny, because after he gets wet, he's pretty useless because he's whining about how long it'll take to get dry and clean again."

Beetle is alternating flicking his eyes to her face and her chest. It's less noticeable that way.

"One of the reasons I am glad I am a furless human." Then she pauses, blinks... and looks down.

Jordan squeaks in horror and covers her chest. "Damnit!!!"

Beetle just bites his lip and laughs.

"Now, Jordan, if I were to find your top, what would I get out of it?"

Bargaining. Yes.

"I would shoot you with the stunner only once a day for the next month?" She frowns. "Because then I would know you saw my top coming undone and said nothing."

"And that you probably hid it too." Not funny.

He chuckles, leans down and pulls her top out of the water. "If you turn around, I can tie it where it won't fall off. I think you like showing off those great boobs you've got."

It is funny. Sometime she'll be able to laugh with it.

"But don't zap me while I'm wet; that's all I ask. Turn around."

She frowns more at him, but does, better than fumbling underwater and giving him more peeks.

The Beetle better find a way to un-upset her quick.

After he's tied her in; tight but not too tight, he'll very gently rub her neck and shoulders slightly, to chill her out. There may be a light kiss on the back of her jaw.

"I'm sorry, Jordan. You're just so...god..."

Jordan blushes and squirms, moving away. it does not seem like any shooting is forthcoming, but the young woman is embarrassed.

And a bit uncomfortable too. "So what?"

He'll let her go without a problem. He's okay going at her pace, as long as she can deal with him teasing her on occasion.

"Sexy, brilliant, fun, charming...even your vulnerability and everything...I like you, Jordan."

"Ken." Jordan sighs, frowning more. "I don't know how to deal with this. I am not some bright-eyed nerdy genius."

"I am a criminal, because that is all I can be. I am used to people wanting to kill me or taking advantage of me, or making fun of me, or being condescending, or patronizing or several of those at once."

"I don't know what to do with all this attention, and..."

And she is trying hard to not just lash out with violence to make the confusion stop.

He takes a step back from her, hands raised.

"I don't want anything from you, Jordan. I'm not those people that you're used to. I used to be, but I'm trying to be better. I'm...I'm gonna go. This was a bad idea. If you need me, or anything, you know where you can find me."

He moves to the edge of the lake, gets out, grabs his things and walks inside.

A few moments later, a waitrat comes out with drinks, a few snacks, and a white daisy for her, that was supposed to be delivered while they were both out there.

Jordan will not stop him. By the time the waitrat arrives, she is sitting on the beach blanket, looking out to the water.

Life was so much easier being a complete supervillain...
