Day 5

After spending the previous night apart from one another, Barbara Gordon and Mary Jane Watson were enjoying a blissful shower together. The newly engaged couple weren’t fond of spending the night apart, but last night had proven to be something of an exception to the rule, as they got to enjoy some quality time with their very close friends; because of the results of a very enjoyable game of strip poker, MJ shared a bed with Kori, while Barbara slept between Kitty and Gwen. Still, as much as they’d enjoyed themselves, they’d definitely noticed their fiancee’s absence.

“I missed you last night babe,” MJ grinned, giving Barbara a quick kiss before enthusiastically beginning to rub soap all over her future wife’s body. “Though I can’t say I didn’t have a great time last night...”

“Neither can I,” Barbara admitted, her own hands exploring MJ’s foam-covered form. “You know that both Gwen and Kitty have *very* gifted tongues.”

MJ smiled at Barbara, the thought of Kitty & Gwen’s gifted tongues charging her libido. “That they do... Kori’s got a pretty amazing tongue as well. It’s not fair that you haven’t had a chance to experience it yet.”

Barbara wholeheartedly agreed, thinking about how much she wanted the gorgeous Tamaranean princess. “I know, right? Speaking of Kori, you have to tell me how your night with her was.”

“It was... fantastic,” Mary Jane beamed as she began to gush about the experience. “I don’t quite know how to describe it, but it felt *right*. Kinda like we’d done it before. Of course, it just wasn’t the same without you,” MJ finished, smiling as she planted another kiss on Barbara’s lips.

Barbara smiled and planted a series of kisses on MJ’s neck. “Kinda sounds like my night with Gwen & Kitty. It’s kinda crazy how in sync we all are in bed. Well, I don’t know about me and Kori yet, but...”

“...oh, I know you two are going to love making each other come,” MJ whispered, abandoning all pretense of washing her fiancee as she began to rub her clit. “After all, you’re both really really good at it.”

Barbara blissfully cooed as she let MJ please her. “I don’t doubt that for a second, baby...”

Meanwhile, Kori, Gwen and Kitty were laying on the beach house deck discussing their experiences the night before, which they had enjoyed every bit as much as their engaged friends.

“...making love to MJ was... indescribable. It was almost as if it was somehow predestined,” Kori gushed. “Of course, I couldn’t help but yearn to have both of you there as well.”

Gwen & Kitty smiled at their girlfriend’s enthusiasm. “We wanted you here, too,” said Gwen. “It doesn’t seem fair that we’ve gotten to have sex with Babs and you two have barely touched each other.”

Kitty nodded in agreement. “Yeah, somehow that doesn’t seem right.”

“We’ll have to fix that soon,” suggested Gwen. “I mean, our bed is big enough for both Babs & MJ...”

Once again, Kitty was in complete agreement. “Yeah, we’ll have to invite them to spend the night in our bed soon...”

“Just one night?” Kori wondered out loud. Her words hung in the air as the trio thought about what she was implying... just how would Barbara and MJ react to an invitation to join them in bed on a more permanent basis?

“Um, well, at any rate, we’re going out soon,” Kitty pointed out. “We should probably get ready.”

MJ was filled with anticipation as the group walked into the bar. “This’ll be great. I can’t remember the last time I went for karaoke.”

“Neither can I,” Kitty said. “I’m very curious to hear you two sing.”

“Fair warning – I’m pretty awful,” Barbara admitted. “And I’ll need a few drinks in me before I’m actually able to get up there...”

“She can charge at a rampaging Goblin without flinching, but she’s petrified in front of a crowd. That’s my Babs,” MJ joked.

“Hey, you’re a model. You’re used to people staring at you,” Barbara pointed out.

MJ chuckled at her fiancee’s comment. “Yeah, because nobody stares at you when you’re swinging from building to building.”

“Great... now that you’ve pointed it out, I’m going to be all self-conscious when I go swinging from now on,” Barbara teased.

“Maybe you should try swinging naked,” MJ suggested.

“And that would help with my stage fright how...?” Barbara wondered.

“I never said it would help with your stage fright,” MJ smirked.

The group sat down and watched the various tourists – of varying talent levels – as they belted out tune after tune. Kitty was the first to go up on stage and sing, performing Van Halen’s “Hot for Teacher”. When she finished, she returned to enthusiastic applause from the girls’ table.

“I remember when you used to sing that at our X-Titan karaoke nights,” Kori reminisced.

“Yeah, I did... I’d always be thinking of our professors,” Kitty admitted.

“Which one? Miss Grey? Miss Frost? Headmistress Diana?” Kori wondered.

“Yes,” Kitty answered.

The evening went on, and eventually, Barbara had drank enough to summon the courage to drag MJ on stage for a rendition of “Endless Love”. Kori, Kitty & Gwen watched, amused, but at the same time touched by the clear affection the engaged couple had for one another as they sang.

“Kind of a cliche choice for a duet, don’t you think?” Gwen teased as the couple sat back down.

“Hey, it coulda been worse. We could’ve done ‘Summer Nights’,” MJ pointed out.

“Good point. I don’t think I’ve been to a karaoke night where some couple doesn’t try to sing that... by the way, you’re not as awful as you said, Babs. I’m *very* disappointed.”

“Wanted to see me make an ass of myself, huh?” Barbara said with a chuckle. “Stick with me long enough, and we’ll get there, I’m sure.”

Kori chose “Dancing Queen”, a song she regularly sang during X-Titan karaoke nights. Kitty couldn’t help but grin and think back to when she and Kori had started dating. They’d come so far together.

Finally, Gwen capped things off by singing Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box”.

“Great song choice,” MJ told Gwen when she finished.

“It’s always been a favorite of mine,” Gwen explained. “I dunno, I feel like it’s kind of the soundtrack to my rivalry with Poison Ivy.”

MJ’s curiosity had been piqued by he comment “Oh yeah? You’ll have to tell me about it sometime.”

“It’s a looooong story,” Gwen told MJ. “I’d be happy to tell you sometime, but be sure to clear your schedule that day.”

“Fine by me,” MJ grinned.

A couple of hours later, the five women left the bar and began walking down the tourist strip, joking among one another and taking in the atmosphere as tourists drunkenly reveled and partied around them.

“All right girls, so what do you want to do now?” MJ asked. “Should we go back to the beach house?”

The group paused and thought about what they should do next. They were enjoying themselves immensely – none of them were quite ready to call it a night quite yet. Kori shared a glance with Kitty & Gwen – maybe the time was right to invite MJ and Barbara to join them in their bedroom? As they wondered, a voice very familiar to the engaged couple called out behind them.

“Been a while, lovers. I’ve missed you, you know.”

The five women turned around to see Felicia Hardy standing there with a smug smirk on her face, and Barbara and MJ began to grin themselves upon seeing their on-again, off-again lover.

“Felicia Hardy... you just can’t seem to stay away from us,” MJ said in a coy tone. “Did you follow us down here?”

“Egotistical as ever, Red,” Felicia teased. “No, I’ve been busy lately. I often come down here to unwind – seeing you here is only a happy coincidence... a very, very happy coincidence.”

Felicia confidently strode over to MJ and kissed her, before turning to Barbara and doing the same. She had noticed the ring on MJ’s finger and shot her a sly grin before turning back to Barbara. “You finally popped the question, huh, Babs? Took you long enough.”

“Is that a little envy I hear in your voice?” MJ jokingly taunted. Felicia had been, at one point, romantically involved with one or both of Barbara and MJ, and over the years the trio had had a complicated relationship. It had been over a year since either woman had seen her, though, and every so often, they’d both wondered where she’d gotten to.

“A little, not gonna lie... but as I said, I’ve been pretty busy myself,” Felicia answered. “Found myself a business partner. One who loves cats as much as I do.”

Gwen's eyes widened. She had a pretty good idea of who Felicia was referring to. “Selina?”

Felicia turned to Gwen and confirmed her hunch. “That’s right, hon. You must be Gwen, right? Selina’s told me a lot about you. I’m Felicia,” she introduced herself. “I gotta say, you’re pretty easy on the eyes. You and your other friends here. So, you girls gonna introduce us or what?”

“Right, right. Kori – Kitty – this is Felicia Hardy,” Barbara introduced. “She and MJ and I used to, uh, date.”

“Mmm-hmm. I know all about you too, Kitty. Selina told me I’d run into you sooner or later,” said Felicia. “And you, Kori... I can’t say I’m all that familiar with you... though looking at you, I’d really *really* like to be.”

“So as I was saying, I’ve had my hands full with my new business endeavor... and I’ve found myself a lovely new girlfriend.”

“I see... and who’s the lucky lady?” MJ asked.

“Her name’s Dinah. You should hear how I make her scream,” Felicia smirked.

Once again, Gwen immediately knew who Felicia meant. “Black Canary? How do you know all these people, and we’re only meeting now?!”

“No idea... but I’m sure we’ll be crossing paths a lot more often from now on,” Felicia mused. “I have to say, I really look forward to it. So, Babs... MJ... I’ve got a luxury suite at the Paradise Sands not far from here. Wanna come over tonight? For old times’ sake?”

MJ and Barbara looked at their friends, who immediately nodded their approval. This Felicia, whoever she was, looked like fun – denying the engaged couple what would no doubt be an amazing night just seemed wrong.

“Sure, why not?” Barbara said with MJ quick to agree. Felicia promptly grabbed their hands and the trio hastily left in the direction of the thief’s hotel.

“I can’t help but feel a little disappointed...” Kori sighed.

“Me too, but you saw Felicia. If a woman like that asked you back to her hotel room, would you turn her down?” Kitty pointed out.

“You’re right... she was a very alluring woman,” admitted Kori. “I do have to say I hope our paths cross again.”

“I’m sure they will, especially if she’s working with Selina... and dating Dinah,” mused Gwen. Perhaps the night didn’t end the way they’d hoped, but Kitty, Kori & Gwen did find themselves intrigued by MJ & Barbara’s old friend... and they knew they still had a fun night ahead of them, even as a trio.
