What's next?

The ladies make accommodations

"So, where are you and your girls gonna stay tonight?" Dinah asked as the bar began to thin out.

Gwen shrugged. "No idea. Getting a hotel room might be difficult, considering we're not even from this universe..."

"I can imagine," Barbara mused. "You and your friends can crash at my place. It's not that big, but I think I can make things work--"

Dinah cut her off. "I can definitely fit a few of them at my apartment. You don't have to host 'em all," she offered.

Barbara nodded. "I guess that's settled. So who wants to stay where?"

"I'm staying with Babs," Gwen said, "We've still got a lot to discuss. As for everyone else, we should probably tell them what's up first..."

The women waved MJ over to them, who had spent most of the night getting quite acquainted with Kori. "What's up, ladies?" MJ asked, a huge smile on her face.

"Hey MJ," Barbara said. "Your band has to stay somewhere tonight, so we've offered to put you up. We're trying to figure out arrangements now -- Would you wanna crash at my place, or at Dinah's?"

"Umm..." MJ hummed, glancing at the Tamaranean waiting patiently behind her. "...Actually, Kori here's already invited me to spend the night. Is that OK?"

Gwen, Dinah & Barbara all grinned and nodded. "Works for us," Barbara shrugged. "In fact, it makes things a lot easier. Before you go, though, I picked up a few burner phones so we can stay in touch. I don't think our universes have cross-compatible cell phone networks."

"Fair point," MJ agreed, accepting her temporary new phone. "You're obviously pretty good at planning. Looks and brains. I like that..." she added flirtatiously.

As Barbara blushed at the compliment and exchanged numbers with MJ, Gwen rolled her eyes. "Great. She's in one of *those* moods," she groaned out loud. "I blame you, Kori."

"Oh dear. Did I do something to offend you? If so, I do apologize," Kori replied, a look of concern on her face.

Gwen chuckled. "No, no. I was joking," she reassured Kori. "It's just... you've got my friend here in a *really* good mood, and this is how she acts when she gets this way. If anything, it's a compliment."

"Oh... I see," Kori said, blushing. "In that case, thank you. And the feeling is mutual."

"So I noticed," Gwen smirked. "You're adorable, Kori. You and MJ have fun tonight, and MJ, we'll talk to you tomorrow, OK?"

"Gotcha," MJ winked. "Have a good night, everyone... I know I will."

Gwen sighed and turned to see Felicia walking up to her, followed by the blonde drummer and the redhead she'd been dancing with. As Felicia passed by Kori & MJ, she exchanged a knowing smile with her redheaded bandmate.

"Hey, Gwen," Felicia began, "These are my new friends, Harley & Ivy. I'm gonna be spending the night at their place. Hope you don't mind..."

"Um, no. I don't. Enjoy," Gwen said. "Take a burner phone on your way, though. Yours probably isn't gonna work here."

Felicia nodded. "I didn't think of that. That's my Spider-Girl... always looking out for me," she said with a wink.

"Uh huh," Gwen replied, rolling her eyes at the pet name. "I'm gonna be spending the night at Barbara's. Let me know if you need anything."

Felicia looked at Barbara and smiled approvingly. "Looks like we're all getting lucky tonight, huh? You two have fun..."

"Hey, it's nothing like that!" Gwen protested. "I'm crashing on her couch, and then we're going to be planning out what we're going to do next. We've got a lot to talk about..."

"You really need to learn to have more fun," Felicia teased. "I keep offering to teach you..."

"I'm having too much fun already," Gwen deadpanned. "You go enjoy yourselves, though."

"Don't worry, we will," Felicia said with a suggestive grin.

Gwen turned to Barbara and sighed. "Sorry. She can be a handful sometimes..."

"Sounds like a good match for Harley, then. Or a really, really bad one, depending how you look at it," Barbara mused. "Anyway, your two other bandmates should probably stay with Dinah, then."

"That pretty much settles that, then," Gwen figured. "I guess I should let Glory & Betty know the plan, and then I guess we'll see everyone tomorrow morning?"

"Works for me," Barbara agreed. "Come on. It's been a long day, and I need sleep."
