WHO: Michael and Kokabiel
WHAT: Michael's invited Kabe to the beach.
WHERE: Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
WARNINGS: You know, I have no idea. I'll say yes for language and possible for other things.

She ported into the address Michael had given her, figuring she could just grab the suitcase of beach stuff he'd put in her flat and a few of her personal things. It seemed all right to her. To be honest, she hadn't stopped to think about this; she'd simply figured Michael wanted to talk to her and the beach had been the best place to do it. Though he had made that crack about her ass. She was half tempted to wear the skimpiest fucking thing she owned, just to fuck with him right back!

The address turned out to be a ritzy hotel, and when Kokabiel gave the name of her alias, the desk clerk had smiled and handed her a room key. "It's right across from the General's," the woman told her, sounding conspiratorial but not disdainful. "Go right up."

Kabe did so, amused. The woman either figured she and Michael were related somehow, or she didn't have a problem with distinguished retired generals bringing young, nubile women to their rooms. Whatever.

She got to her room and opened the door, raising an eyebrow at how fresh and airy it looked. She'd figured Michael for more of a divey sort of place. But she'd deal with him later. For now she put her suitcase down and started to unpack her stuff.

Michael knew that Kabie probably expected him to pick a shitty hotel with tequila close by, but that wasn't the case. He had certain requirements of hotels, and figured after thousands of years spent sleeping on the ground he deserved a plush as fuck bed with some fluffy ass pillows.

He'd gotten a phone call from the front desk, stating that his "special friend" had arrived. It made him roll his eyes, but he thanked the receptionist before moving to knock on Kabie's door.

	Kabe heard the knock and figured it was Michael - he practically bludgeoned the door. She was dressed, so she padded over and opened the door. "I almost told the woman at the desk I was a hooker, but that'd paint me into a corner." She smirked. "You been here long? You actually look like the stick's coming out of your ass." She stepped backward in case he wanted to come in. (Reply to this)

	"Glad you didn't, I said you were an illegitimate daughter. Gossip's fun, huh." He moved inside to sit down near her bed in the plush leather armchair. "Eh, maybe it just shifted." (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-01-29 02:42 am UTC (link)
	"Coulda been both." She chuckled, going back inside to sit on the bed. "So. Fancy ass place you picked here." She might actually get some relaxation here, honestly. "How long you staying for? Sir gave you two weeks?" (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-29 02:44 am UTC (link)
	"Yep, planning on being here the whole two. Just got back from watching movies with one of my favorite capes, figure I can hop back if anyone needs me. And uh, I didn't plan on you wearing all of those bathing suits, I just grabbed about fifty and figured you could pick one you liked." He almost looked sheepish. (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-01-29 02:52 am UTC (link)
	She saw it, or at least the beginning of it. It was weird, but also funny. "I haven't looked through 'em, just sort of rummaged in the suitcase to see what the hell it was." Kokabiel folded her arms, figuring she ought to bring up the elephant in the room. "So, I'm thinking you could ask a whole lot of women in the world to come show you swimsuits, if you felt like it." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-29 02:54 am UTC (link)
	Mike rolled his eyes. "If you think there's a whole lot of women in the world I wanna see half naked, you're right, and ... okay, the point is I wanted you to come get away for a while. You got a shit gig when you fell, you know." (Reply to this)

She laughed first, then blinked. Eventually Kokabiel just shrugged. "Well, you're right, there." She didn't really know what else to say; this was the Highlord Commander, not some kind of agony aunt. She wasn't about to cry on his shoulder; hell, she wasn't about to cry at all.

Instead, she turned to the suitcase, opening it and starting to look through. "Okay, that's cute." There was another green one she liked, and a few others. "Some of these are awful shit; did you just evaporate a rack from Nordstrom's?" She was amused, not upset.

	"I know. I didn't pick it for you, just so you know." He looked as if he was upset, and he was - he hadn't wanted that for her. But he was pleased that he'd randomly grabbed a bathing suit she liked. "Yeah, I just randomly put some in there. I'm sure some aren't even in your size I just guessed." (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-01-29 05:07 am UTC (link)
	Okay, that was alarmingly sweet. Kokabiel had to bite her lip not to laugh. "It's okay, really. It's a nice thought." If this was his way of seducing her, it wasn't great, but she had to appreciate the try. Nobody'd even bothered in so long. "So." Kabe leaned forward, arms folded across her knees. "Are you more of the 'do whatever' type, or you got something planned?" (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-29 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, figured it'd be a good way to ask you." He'd known she wouldn't be the type to just have one around - hell, he wasn't himself - but he figured helping out and staring things off wasn't a bad idea. He grinned. "Usually I have things planned, but Pops told me not to. So, I'm just gonna play it by ear and see what happens." (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-01-29 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Then why don't you get the hell out of here and let me get dressed, and we can start with cocktails at the pool?" Kabe shrugged. This was fucking weird; she needed alcohol. (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-29 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"Works for me." He walked out of her room to go to his and put on his board shorts. This was going pretty well for him, so he was hoping she woudn't mock him too hard. (Reply to this)

Kabe rummaged around, looking for the suits in her size, eventually finding a cute black one that fit. She put it on, sliding a t-shirt and shorts over it and slipping into flats. She was determined to relax, figuring she could just see what the hell Michael wanted as it all happened.

She got down to the pool area and pulled up a few chairs, sitting on one and flagging a waitress to get herself a rum and Coke. Michael would be down soon, she knew; she'd wait to take her shirt off until he got there.

	Mike slipped into his flip flops and followed suit, moving down by the pool. He saw her immediately, figuring that she had to have picked out the most skimpy suit he'd picked out (mostly to make her laugh) and she was waiting to show him the big reveal. He held up a finger to get the bartender to bring him a beer, having been her for a bit already. (Reply to this)

The suit wasn't the most revealing, but it was up there. Kabe liked her body, even if she had no boobs. It had been a body that had served her well enough. She had crawled out of hell with it.

She saw Michael over at the bar, having gotten her rum and Coke poolside. She ambled in, nodding a hello as she sat beside him. She didn't particularly need to say anything, just figuring he knew she was pleased. The weather was great, the booze was good and there weren't even a huge ton of people around to annoy her; just enough to make it feel comfortable.

	"I've gotta come here more during the off season. Summer here would suck, but right now, this is damn nice. You ever get here before the shit hitteth the fan?" Mike ruffled her hair affectionately. (Reply to this)

	starofgod 2011-01-30 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	She growled faintly, fixing her hair before answering. "Never been to Mexico." She sipped more of the rum and Coke, nodding appreciatively. "Damn, that's nice. But no, I haven't been too many places. I got to Morocco after I killed Solas, and when I got out of hell I saw parts of Canada. Other than that, I've seen Japan and a bit of Prague. That's about it, other than Metairie." (Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-30 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Wouldn't count Metairie as much, really." He wrinkled his nose and lit a cigar, amused at her little growl. "Well, you've got time now, right? Workin' for Az has to help with that." (Reply to this)

"Metairie was shit. I hear New Orleans is okay, but just being in Louisiana at this point fucking makes me nervous." She'd accidentally gone through a portkey that landed her in the swamp and that hadn't been good.

When he brought up Az, though, she nodded. "Az hasn't really started me on much yet, so your timing's good, to ask me here. He said I'll wind up on hospital duty when I start, which is okay with me." Death didn't bother her anymore, and the idea of seeing natural death instead of beings hacked or shot to pieces? The idea delighted her, on a very fundamental level.

	Mike wasn't that bothered by death either, considering how much of it he'd caused himself over the years. "Maybe you'll bump into Gabey. Be nice to him, okay?" He'd started to feel a bit overprotective of him of late after getting called out for picking on him. (Reply to this)

"In hospitals? Yeah, I might see Gabe." It was a good point; she knew Gabriel was a bleeding heart, and it didn't take a genius to imagine he'd be upset if a baby or a mother died.

For once, Kabe chose her words carefully. "I don't really have anything against Gabriel ... I know he didn't lift a finger when we were cast down, but I kinda get the vibe that nobody could really have changed it." She'd been furious at all the Archangels for a long time, but eventually she'd come to the realization that even Michael probably couldn't have changed his Father's mind.

"Pops was... hurt more than anything, I think. He said it himself, back then he was a jealous god." Mike had been upset at his father's decision, but like any good soldier, he'd kept that to himself and done what he was told. He hadn't liked it, but he'd found it necessary. "For what it's worth, we missed the hell out of you guys, every day. I know that's not worth shit, though." He'd even thought of trying to find them, seeing if he could free them of their confinement to one place, but he'd known that would be career suicide as good as falling himself.

She could tell he was genuinely sorry, and that counted for something. "Once upon a time I'd have told you to fuck your 'missing us', but at least I appreciate it now." She wouldn't have wanted anyone to get themselves in trouble for her; she'd just imagined that the Archangels might have been able to speak without getting in trouble.

Something did occur to her, though. "Did you know where any of us were? And if you did, would you have caught hell for coming to see us?" Kabe swigged more rum and Coke.

(Reply to this)

	quisutdeus 2011-01-31 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"We didn't know. Well. I didn't know. I wanted to find you guys, but I was pretty damn sure I'd get sent down for trying. So I didn't. ... I don't know if you guys falling was my fault, if I could've asked Pops to forgive you guys, but ... " He shook his head, not wanting to talk anymore. It wasn't his strong suit. (Reply to this)
