Hotel Lez

Chapter 2

"ah, welcome back Kelly. How was work today?" Helga asked cheerfully, having just paid the bills

"fantastic. No crime today, nothing to worry about at all" Kelly responded, taking off her uniform

"well the rest of your friends are in the hot Jacuzzi. You're more than welcome to join them" Helga added

"thanks very much. I believe I will" Kelly said, changing into her three piece swimsuit and going into the pool room

"hey-hey, there she is! C'mon in Kelly, the fun's getting started!" Jean said warmly, relaxing with Emma, Nyssa, Holli, Crysta, Thumbelina and Madison

"hey baby" Kelly said to Nyssa kissing her

"hey sweetheart" Nyssa said, kissing her back as Kelly sat next to her

"ok, ok so Crysta how'd you and Thumbelina meet?" Jean asked

"oh gosh, where to begin? Well ever since my dad died and my husband Zak divorced me after finding out I was gay; oh and after Batty got rabies and had to be put down and after Pips got deported; I was lost with nothing to do. Then I met Thumbelina at the Courier's Club downtown, one thing lead to another and then ba-boom, we were in love" Crysta explained

"how is Zak anyway?" Jean asked

"I just got a call from him, he's doing great now. Married, having a baby on the way, says he's naming the child after me in memory of all the good times" Crysta answered

"hello ladies" Eris said warmly

"hey Ma" Kelly said warmly, Jean spitting out her tea

"Whoa whoa whoa! Eris is your MOTHER?" Emma gasped

"adoptive mother, sweetie" Eris explained

"Ohhhh…" everyone said, understanding

"gee, what a twist" Helga remarked

"I came here to see if my little red rose Kelly here is happy in her new home" Eris said motherly

"she is indeed very happy here and has made quite a lot of friends in the past few days" Helga replied

"well, thank you for your honesty. Have fun red rose and behave yourself. Call me if you need me" Eris said, kissing Kelly on the cheek as she walked off

"wow… that was quick" Kitty said after a short silence

"Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos adopted such a pure and innocent girl like you?" Jean asked

"yup, she found me when I was only a baby. My real parents died in a aeroplane accident" Kelly explained

"ah… we understand. Thanks for being honest and truthful with us" Odette said warmly

"Hey, where is everyone?" Cordelia asked, walking in using her walking stick

"over here Ms. Cordelia. C'mere, I'll help you" Kelly said, getting out of the pool and kindly helping the blind woman

"bless your heart Kelly. You are such a good girl" Cordelia said as Kelly gently helped her sit down

"that was very nice of you Kelly. It's always proper to aid those who are disabled" Helga remarked

"oh I volunteered at daycare, senior homes, all sorts of things. I met Nyssa at the social services office" Kelly said

"that's right. I was the security clerk, little miss Kelly was an intern. Then she got promoted, one thing lead to another and we had a surprise wedding and now we're together forever" Nyssa finished

"well there's my big sister" Talia purred, coming in with her girlfriend Stacy Baker

"hey Kelly. Long time no see" Stacy said in a New Jersey accent

"Stacy was my roommate in my sorority ward" Kelly explained

"ah…" everyone replied

"ok c'mon girls, let's go grab some z's. my body's beginning to prune" Jean ordered

"yeah, I gotta get some beauty rest before we head to the mall" Madison yawned, helping Cordelia out

Later that day…

"hey. Did y'all sleep well?" Misty asked, meeting up with Kelly, Nyssa and the others at the boardwalk

"we had trouble waking Jean up, but Emma bribed her with some Krispy Kreme doughnuts" Psylocke answered

"ah, I see. Ok girls, everyone got their credits?" Misty asked

"you know it" Talia responded

"ok, we meet back here for our 9:30 showing of Mad Max: Fury Road" Misty ordered

"what? Misty, you didn't tell us this!" Cordelia gasped in delight

"it's a surprise gift for our anniversary" Misty explained

"ah…" everyone said, understanding

"ok cut the chatter everyone, let's go spend some moolah!" Talia barked, everyone rushing off

"I really think these maternity jeans fit me. What do you think Susan?" Chloe Dancer asked her wife Susan Ivanova

"hmmm… how much are they?" Susan asked

"$4.5 credits" Chloe said

"fair enough. Let's go checkout" Susan replied before meeting Kelly and Nyssa

"Kelly?" Susan asked

"Susan?" Kelly repeated. Both girls squealed in delight and hugged each other

"oh my god, it's been too long! Ooh, how I missed you" Kelly said

"me too dear, look how big you've gotten! Remember when we used to call you little red in college?" Susan said

"yeah, but now it's big red" Kelly responded, the two sharing a laugh

"oh, this is my wife Nyssa al Ghul. Nyssa this is Susan Ivanova, she's my dorm mate from college" Kelly said

"pleasure to meet you Nyssa. I've heard a lot about you. Your father is a very well-wealthy and eccentric man" Susan said

"thanks. He's recovering from his stroke" Nyssa replied

"and your sister Talia? How is she doing, now that she's retired from the League of Assassins business?" Susan asked

"she's doing well. She works at the child care center with Helena and Dinah, she married a pretty young doctor from New Jersey and they're both expecting" Nyssa answered

"ah I see. I take it you are residing at the famous Hotel Lez?" Susan asked

"no, don't tell me… we're next door NEIGHBORS!" Kelly and Susan said in unison

"wow. Oh hi there, I'm Chloe, I'm Susan's wife. How do you do, Miss Chambers?" Chloe said calmly

"very well, thanks" Kelly responded

Later that night at the hotel…

"…and that is why I will never ever set a foot in Townsville for as long as I live" Gaige said to a group of her friends at the bar

"oh good evening ladies, you're just in time for dinner" Helga said warmly as the gang sat down at their reserved table

"say, where's Lucy?" Kelly asked

"I dunno, wasn't she at breakfast?" Jean replied

"Oh, she got arrested for embezzlement and insurance fraud" Chloe answered

"Oh my!" Kelly gasped

"how dreadful" Odette said

"goodness gracious" Emma added

"yes, yes, ladies I can tell you are very despondent over Ms. Van Pelt but as of now her room is out of service until she is out of prison" Helga responded

"Hey guys. Sorry we're late, Old Man Marsh caused another pileup" Livewire said, sitting down

"I heard" Kelly said, saying hi to Volcana as she took a drink of her iced tea

"so, um, wanna play some poker or do some roulette tonight?" Holli offered

"hmm… well I have a day off tomorrow since tomorrow's our anniversary so… why not?" Kelly replied

"Splendid! Meet us at the game room, 11 PM sharp" Holli said

"okey-dokey then. C'mon girls let's head to the lounge and catch up on Orange Is the New Black" Livewire said
