Warm sand. Windy air. The ocean. It was a good day.

Cora decided that she felt like looking cute as shit, so she grabbed the closest thing to [url=https://i.pinimg.com/1200x/09/30/e6/0930e6e81d88164f3ddc21e8be53e411.jpg]beach appropriate clothes[/url] she had brought with her after leaving home. Everyone was having fun, and the sun felt so damn great on her skin. It was much better than living up by the cold oceans in Happy Harbor where the sun set so much sooner. This was the kind of weather Cora had grown up in, it felt nice to be on a beach again. There were other people here, so Cora had brought a pair of sunglasses to hide her glowing eyes. And thanks to the high-tech bracelet hanging off her wrist, she blended right in with the average person. No crackling interference, no exploding phones. Just normalcy.

She laid back in the sun, resting on a towel with a sunhat halfway covering her face. Things had been rough lately, for a few reasons. People were fighting, no one really knew what the deal with the other guy in Metamorph's head was until now... Cora damn near got herself [i]killed.[/i] But in the end, they had all made it out okay. Everyone had, more or less, reconciled in one way or another.

And now that she had the time to think, it occurred to Cora that she needed this. It had been rough, going from her old life to frying a hospital room, and now being a superhero. If that had been explained to her a year ago, she'd laugh it off. [i]Nah, I'm on my way the NASA,[/i] she'd say. But in the time since, she'd thrown herself into scientific things she could barely touch back home. A gun that shot lightning bolts, working with Static- It had her so busy that it became [i]too normal.[/i] There wasn't enough time to just be Cora.

Her friends were okay. [i]She[/i] was okay.

Oh, and the occasional hot girl walking up and down the sand was a plus.

Cora heard Vincent shouting about food, and then she smelled it. Her first instinct was to float upwards, then she remembered they were around people. She stood up and walked over, taking in [i]everything.[/i] She grabbed a kebab that was set aside, and chomped into it.

[color=00ffff]"Ohhh man, that's great,"[/color] She said, between the first bite and another. [color=00ffff]"I didn't know you could grill [i]watermelon.[/i] How's that work out?"[/color]
