Michael scratched his head, that was a pretty enthusiastic call for stripping. But she bolted for the bathroom really fast... Maybe she needed a poop? Everybody poops, yeah that's probably it. Alot of excitement, Chinese food. Poop.
He stripped right off in the livingroom, neatly laying his clothes in a folded pile on the couch to make it obvious he just was naked in the livingroom. He slipped on his Rick and Morty shorts and a pair of cheap sandals he found whole he made his pit stop at Walmart. He walked around the room, taking it all in. It was really cozy. He called the front desk and ordered a bottle of champagne and a snack tray of various cheeses and meats, he requested it be placed in the room on the table next to the fireplace.
About ten minutes had passed, growing concerned, Michael gently tapped on the bathroom door. "You alright in there Jennyfur? You didn't get stuck in the toilet did you?"
------------------------------------
Don looked down at Angela, he kissed her forehead softly. "Well, I didn't offer to pimp out Yelena to her. I was hoping for a discount for hooking her up but she was not receptive to that notion. No, she was private, and she didn't flinch at a giant canine tooth, which tells me she's seen the likes of it before... she had alot of very ancient viking weaponry and armor, these were not relics, they were well kept. And then there was the fact that when I looked at her with fae sight, I could see her wings! That's what sold it right there, genuine bona-fide valkyrie in L.A., I mean, we got a Nuwisha... Why not a valkyrie too hey?"
He planted a quick kiss on the tip of Angela's nose with a grin.
"Hmm, we'd better check in on the cupcake... After lazagna. I can use the where's my device android locator thingy on the googly box over there on the desk to track his phone."

Angela snickered at the tiny smooches and the grin.
"I'm willing to bet there is a whole lotta difference between an immortal Valkyrie and a mortal who happens to turn into a coyote and can talk to spirits. I mean wings! Wings are cool. Redbull can't even give me that. Hey! You're some kinda fairy hybrid. You got butterfly wings back there I can't see?"
She'd turn quickly, slipping her hands into his shirt and running her palms across his skin. Curiously she'd reach up his back as if searching for these hinted at wings. Giving up with a playful pout as she found nothing she could feel or see.
"Oh well. Lets check on the Cupcake after dinner then. If he's not with Jennifer then maybe he should be. For the protection of those around him and the sake of the city."
------------------
Jennifer had finally calmed down and had changed into the rather flattering polka dotted one piece swimsuit. Red with a vintage and gathered cut. She was so embarrassed and so unaccustomed to being alone with a guy. Did she really just suggest Michael strip down. She was so smooth.
The knock would come at the door and once again her cheeks flushed red. How long had she been hiding in the bathroom. Too long it would seem. She'd open the door almost as soon as he knocked and just give an apologetic and embarrassed grin.
"I'm sorry. I'm fine. Checking my emails on my phone and wasn't paying attention to time. Shall we find this pool?"
She'd smile, handing him a towel and attempt to surreptitiously run her gaze across his upper body. He was skinny, but it was clear he worked out judging by the tone of Michael's arms and chest. Ugh she was being so weird. But she just couldn't help herself.

Michael just grinned, she totally dropped a big steamer in there. But damn she looked good in a bathing suit, polkadots and all! He took the offered towel and slipped his arm through hers. He opened the door for them and they would head out into the gardens once more to make their way to the pool. It was a large open area surrounded by palm trees and lounge chairs. This was a world famous pool and featured in many classic films, oddly, it wasn't busy at all. A few older couples lounged in the chairs outside the pool but nobody dared brave the pool in the cool evening air, except for Michael who dropped his towel and kicked off his sandals and drove straight into the deep end. But he forgot to tighten the draw string on his new trunks.
Michael's pale ass shone brightly in the moonlight as his trunks floated to the surface behind him. He floundered and splashed and snatched them back pulling them back on, his cheeks twice as red as normal as he frantically looked around for witnesses. Jennifer totally saw him for sure, his eyes met hers and he just burst out laughing.

Jennifer walked with Michael to the pool. It was a very nice night with a clear sky and the landscape as you walked there certainly made you feel like you were in another world. She'd find a couple of chairs first and set her towel down. Shaking her head with a grin she'd turn to watch Michael drop his where he stood and just dive in. She'd go to collect his sandals and towel when she noticed his swim trunks floating on the surface of the water. Her eyes would go wide as he frantically went to grab them and put them back on, one of the older couples that were also at the pool giving him a round of applause and laughing as well. Jennifer certainly couldn't help it as she would burst out into a fit of giggles too, joining in with a slow clap.
"Nicely done. An A for effort. Maybe an 8 out of 10 for style."
She'd take his towel and shoes back to the chairs wit her belongings and move back to the pool, giving herself and him a moment to collect their giggles before setting on the edge of the pool to dangle her legs in. It was a little chill but not terribly so. Not after being in the California sun all day.

Michael swam over to Jen, his face was beat red. He clung to the side of the pool. "Hey there good lookin', care to join me for a dip? Or are you a feet only kinda gal.."
He reached down and quickly tickled her right foot.

Jen laughed, quickly pulling her foot out of the water as Mikie began to tickle the bottom.
"EEP! No!"
She'd wrinkle her nose, pushing him away with her other foot to fully push off the side and drop herself into and under the water. She'd resurface, pushing her dark hair back and out of her face, only to give him an obviously fake dirty look.
"Oh I'm an all in former high school swim team girl." She'd laugh at that. Already high school felt like ages ago and she knew too many people who were still clinging onto who they were versus who they were now.
"I see you're a cannon ball hope the waters warm and your trunks stay on kind of guy."

Michael failed backward from the push with a laugh. "Well, depending on the situation the trunks could be optional..." He slid back to her through the water and planted a quick kiss on her.
"Swim team though hey? Wanna race? See who can get to the other side and back here again first. Winner picks the movie?"

Jen smiled, returning the quick kiss from Michael as she treaded water. She seemed to contemplate his suggestion. She supposed she really couldn't lose either way.
"Let's go then!"
She wouldn't give him a chance to say anything else. They were already close to the wall so she drifted back a little bit and pushed herself off from the side of the pool, diving under water before she surfaced again and made her way towards the other side as quick as she could.

Michael's eyes widened, she was so fast! He didn't have a chance to think, he just glided back to the wall and pushed off like she did, only far less graceful. He gave it everything he had but he was making more of a splash than anything. He saw Jen heading back the other way already and got distracted. He whacked his left arm off the edge of the pool and swam head first into the wall with a thunk!
He stood up, his hands on his head and his eyes watering a bit. He couldn't help but smile though through the stun as he watched her go like a dolphin for the finish.

Jen would reach out to grab the wall and surface, looking up to see where Michael was. She'd look around curiously as he wasn't right near her, turning to find him stopped at the other end of the pool rubbing his head. She'd make a lightly concerned face and swim back in his direction, standing to walk as she reached the shallower end of the pool. At least he was smiling.
"Oh no babe! What did you do?"
She couldn't help but snicker a little bit, reaching up to move his hand away. Nothing was bleeding, but he did have a good red spot where he smacked the wall.
"Hm. I suppose you're lucky. Appears as if you have a hard head."

"Ehh, the wall was closer than I thought it was? I totally swam right into it... whacked my arm too." He held up his left arm and there was a red mark across his forearm, he would do doubt be bruised tomorrow. He grinned at her quib about his hard head. "And that's not the only thing that's hard." He slapped his hand up over his mouth, his eyes were wide in disbelief at the fact he blurted that out. His cheeks flushed red and he just slowly sank underwater in embarrassment.

Jen's eyes widened at Michael's statement. She'd turn to him with eyes wide and lips pressed together to try and keep the snicker from slipping out. She could only hold it in for so long, especially has his face turned a shade of red she hadn't seen before and he dunked himself beneath the water in embarrassment. For her, she really wasn't sure what to do with that information. Would she upset him if she made a joke? She was sure he wouldn't. Was it appropriate to flirt? She didn't really have much experience here. She'd leave it with a snicker and not a comment, figuring that was the safest route.
"Well. I think I won the race even with an accident. I suppose this means I pick the movie?"
She'd reach up to place a finger on her lips as she made motion she was thinking. She supposed they should be watching Captain Marvel since they had made plans to watch the Marvel movies in order. But this seemed a great time to take advantage.
"Moana. Yup. Love that movie. Seems fitting too since this place has kind of a tropical feel. But be warned. I like to sing along."

Michael resurfaced, yet his face was still a bit red. He was still smiling though, Jen looked different... She had her hair slicked back from being wet and the swim. Her bathing suit was flattering, she was in great shape too... "You win alright. Moana huh? Never seen that one, its that Disney Samoan cartoon hey?" He pulled himself out of the pool and sat on the ledge with his feet dangling in the water.

"Yup."
Jen swam over to the side, watching as Michael pulled himself out of the pool. She'd note the tone in his arms as he pressed himself up against the side of the pool. Once more she felt heat rise up into her cheeks as she realized she was staring. She'd look away, covering her distracted moment by lifting herself out of the pool as well to sit on the edge with him.
"Yup. I'm surprised you haven't seen it. Great music. The Rock voices Maui. Jemaine Clement is a giant crab. And Alan Tudyk voices a chicken." She'd snicker at that last one. "A truly Oscar winning performance. But I can cave. If you want to move on to our Marvel movies. Didn't you say Captain Marvel is next?"
She'd adjust herself so that she sat more comfortably upon the hard concrete edge of the pool. Adjusting so that she sat closer to Michael, her foot playfully brushing up against his own in the water.

Michael shuddered, her playfull footsie game sending a shiver up his spine. His feet were quite ticklish it would seem.
"You won that race fair and square, so Moana it is. The MCU isn't going anywhere.
Well this sure is a sweet pool, I'm ready to head back though. I can only handle so much chlorine before my eyes start getting super bloodshot... I know, goggles, but I find they fog up on me and I can't see... wind up swimming into walls and stuff."Michael chuckled then and rubbed his head again where he swam into the wall.
