"Welcome to Hotel Heroic!" A Green Skinned Woman, dressed in a red uniform, four feet in height, with jet black hair, smiles at the front desk.
Being a Superhero is a pretty stressful profession.
Sometimes, you just need a break from it all....But, well, you can't exactly chill when there's a psychopath living only to violently murder you and everyone you care about on the loose! Can you?
Seriously, who could possibly jet ski or hula dance or attend a day spa with that kinda monkey behind their shoulders?!
That's where Hotel Heroic comes to play:
A resort, existing on a very peaceful, tropical archipelago version of California. Heavily populated by a race of turtle-people known as Kappa and retired heroes from across the multiverse.
Heroes from all over flock to this hotel, on the Island of Huntington, for rest, relaxation, and fun.
"Checking in?" The Front Desk Kappa smiles. "Wonderful! And under what name is the reservation?"
Marvel A: Kitty Pryde, age 42.
Marvel B: Emma Frost, age 50
Marvel C: Janet Van Dyne, age 85
Marvel D: Jessica Jones, age 62
DC A: Diana Prince, age 90
DC B: Starfire, age 73
DC C: Harley Quinn, age 47
Amalgam A: Clara Rogers, Super America, age 52
Amalgam B: Joan Stark, Iron Lantern, age 65
Amalgam C: Janet Prince, Wonder Wasp, age 42

While I would go with either Diana Prince or Janet Van Dyne, I'm going to go with Jessica Jones for this particular pick.

"Jones..." A 62 Year old woman, thin as a rail, dressed in a black jacket with blue jeans, brown leather boots, matching belt, and a white top that showed off a light muffin top, a result from years of binge drinking and poor diet, with puffy yellowed eyes, thinning skin coated with age spots, and a yellowed smile highlighted with the scent of whiskey states with a surly, haggard tone. "Jessica Jones."
She has a noticeable and permanent set of bags under her eyes with what looked like the early stages of a turkey neck with thinning, dulled black hair in a greasy braid.
"We have 27 Jessica Jones on reservation." The Kappa types away on a holographically projected screen.
"How many people did you book for?"
"Just me." Jessica sighs. 27 felt like a lot of people. She didn't like the idea of seeing herself around the island. She also didn't like the hassle it was causing to check in!
Her knee is acting up and she just wants to lay in bed and watch tv with some room service.
"Okay, 14 down... did you book from New York, New Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Justice Bay, or Empire City?"
"New York." Jessica responds in an irritated tone.
"Alright, 8 down..."
Jessica once again sighs as the youthful turtle continues to tap and tap and tap.
"When did you book the reservation?"
"October 5th."
"Oh, found you!" The Kappa smiles. "Room 732. Smoking."
"Thank you." Jessica smiles, handing a debit card that quickly gets swiped into the desk itself.
The holographic screen turned green and made a loud boing sound that irritated Jessica's Tinnitus.
"Okay, a 70 Dollar Deposit has been charged to your card, thank you for staying at Hotel Heroic, if you need anything or have any questions, please, contact the front desk in person or by pressing 7 on the hotel phone, finally, would you like to hear about any special events on the island this week?"
Yes. Jessica is curious about events on the island.
No. Jessica just wants to eat and take a nap.

I'm assuming that this is an AU version of the MCU version of Jessica Jones. If I'm correct, I'm going to go with no, considering her personality.

"Are you sure?" The Kappa gets pushy as Jessica shakes her head, an act which causes a light twinge of pain.
"Thanks, but I plan on spending most of my time at the hotel."
"Alright. There's brochures on the coffee table in your room if you change your mind. Oh, and room service is 28/11."
"28/11?"
"28 hours a day, 11 days a week." The Kappa explains. Apparently, this world has four extra days in a week!
"Oh... well, good to know and thank you!" Jessica walks off with a carryon towards the elevator. "Pushy Bitch." She whispers under her breath.
When she finally got to the room, jacket, boots, pants on the floor, cellulite and blue vein riddled legs exposed and paid of tan granny panties revealed, Jessica plops onto the bed, moans loudly as she struggles to take off her orthopedic socks with her toes.
Her yellowed, misshapen toes.
"This is nice." Jessica takes a deep breath, heaving her body upwards, position and grabbing the tv remote and menu by the bed lamp.
"Sunday at Shell Square, watch the Huntington Shires play the New London Musketmen for the Bōball Semifinals!" An Male Announcer with a British Accent states during a scene of men on a field with wooden staffs and a football as Jessica looks at the appetizer menu.
Changing the channel, she debates between Italian Sausage Stuffed Potato Skins or Cheesy Onion Rings.
"Tonight on Family Mom, Rebecca gets more than she can chew at an all you can eat buffet with her new boyfriend!" A Female Announcer with a British Accent states in the background of a rotund, middle Emma Watson stuffing her face with a plate of crab legs. Coincidentally, Jessica was looking at the seafood menu, her lips licking the spicy surf and turf.
"I don't know how much 22 Parchments are... but that sounds pretty good for a Lobster and New York Strip!"
She once again changes the channel, this time, on the local news.
"Polls put Incumbent Prime Minister John Tanaka in the lead by twelve points of Conservative Party Candidate Laurence Mill."
Jessica yawns, perfect background noise to sleep with!
"Get ready, with Purple Lobster Day this Thursday , the streets of Huntington will be packed festival fun!"
Jessica takes attention while placing her order. Thursday! Shit, did she come during this world's Mardi Gras?!"
"Just what I need!" Jessica states sarcastically at stock footage of the festival last year. A buncha rowdy yipper snappers is just want she wanted to be around!
Jessica continues watching the news
or
Six in the Morning, Jessica looks for options off Huntington Island for Purple Lobster Day.

The sun is barely up, in the lobby, you can hear the calming sound of waves crashing onto the sand, and most guests are in still in bed.
Jessica is not most guest.
Already showered, wearing the same clothes she had at checkin, Jessica was at the front desk, staring at the eight foot tall, male kappa with a frier tuck haircut.
"Can I help you, ma'am?"
Jessica nods.
"Yeah, about this Purple Lobster Day. Is the hotel involved?"
"Yes, ma'am, the entire island is involved. We'll be setting up tents on the beach at eight, as well as a display of fireworks, and a giant purple lobster we'll set to sea. Not to worry though, the lobster is biodegradable."
"Cool." Jessica rolls her eyes. "Look, is there... is there any place on the island that won't be... noisy?"
Jessica Jones is on vacation for one reason and one reason only. To Relax. She doesn't need loud noises, drunk crowds as drunk as she gets (maybe, a little less), and the constant reminder that she's a senior citizen.
"Well, Huntington Island gets pretty rambunctiousness on Purple Lobster Day, I'm sorry ma'am." The Kappa bows his head, showing off his shiny, green bald spot.
"However, Garden Grove Island is a little less loud."
"It is?"
The Kappa nods.
"It's primarily a community for retired seniors." The Kappa explains. "If you're interested, you could take a ferry there in half an hour from Huntington Pier. It's barely a ten minute ferry. The islands are pretty close together."
Jessica wasn't entirely happy to spend a day with a buncha old gas bags, but it was better than the alternative. On the boat...
A) Jessica meets a very talkative, elderly couple
1) Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy
2) Superman and Wonder Woman
3) Batman and Wonder Woman
4) Someone Else
or
B) Jessica meets a Cougar heading to Garden Grove to play with an older gentleman
1) Black Widow
2) Wonder Woman
3) Wasp
4) Starfire
5) Someone else

Jessica sat on the top deck, the salty ocean breeze hitting her wrinkled face, the sun on her pasty white skin, watching Kappa Children loudly play at the edges of the boat.
It looked a little dangerous, but, the old gal considered how they're sea turtles. What much harm can the ocean be? Besides sharks!
A styrofoam cup of hot coffee in hand, black as her taste in men, she notices an elderly couple hobble towards the vacant plastic chairs immediately on her left.
"Those seats taken?" The 6ft tall, 200 pound man with pure white hair in a short cut, dressed in a fancy black suit, asks with his wife, a hunched, slender woman with curly white hair, chained glasses, a noticeable hearing aide, wooden cane, dressed in floral red and blue.
Jessica shakes her head as she watches the couple no younger than 85 gingerly seat themselves.
"Lovely day for a boat ride, isn't it?" The Woman asks with a sweet, light toned voice.
Jessica nods as the woman prods through her massive beach bag, taking out a wrapped breakfast sandwich from a popular chain on this world called Adventure Burger.
"Would you like one?" The woman kindly offers. "They were three for five."
"No thanks." Jessica rejects her kindness.
"Are you sure? They're bacon and egg sandwiches on a toasted bagel. They're really good".
Jessica once again shakes her head.
"I'm Diana, by the way, and this is my husband, Bruce. We're the Waynes."
"Nice to meet you!" Bruce chimes in.
"What's your name?" Diana asks sweetly.
A) Jessica gives her name and allows the couple to talk to her.
B) Jessica continues to be cold and distant

Jessica has never been much for small talk. Especially with strangers.
But The Waynes, regardless of Jessica's cold indifference, talked her ear off for the next ten minutes!
She learned needless information like how Bruce is a Retired CEO of a multibillion dollar company, or how Diana is a retired principal, that they have six children, twenty grandkids, seven great grandkids, and have lived in this particular version of California for six years.
When the boat went into dock, Jessica made a sigh of relief as the elderly couple slowly headed towards the exit.
"It was nice talking to you, Jessica." Diana smiles. "You know, our oldest daughter is around your age. Do you have any grandkids?"
Jessica laughs, speaking for the first time in ten minutes.
"I don't even have kids."
"What a shame." Diana shakes her head. "I wouldn't trade my family for anything."
"That's nice." Jessica fakes a smile as she exits the boat.
Feet on the dock, Jessica attempts to head the opposite direction of the Waynes... unfortunately, a bony hand was on Jessica's shoulder.
Jessica has the strength of a super soldier, she could easily get out of a great grandmother's grip, usually, but one, she didn't feel right moving away from a woman who needs a cane, and, two, Diana's grip was surprisingly strong.
It was like the jaws of life clamped down!
"Where are you going?" Diana asks with a wrinkled smile. "The Trolley is the other direction."
"Oh, I was planning on walking." Jessica lies.
"At your age?!" Diana tissed. "Sweetheart, you may be younger than me, but, your not exactly a spring chicken!"
Bruce laughs, placing his rough hand atop his wife and lightly whispering. "Let go."
Diana complies, but has her saggy eyes locked on Jessica.
"We know of a great little cafe at the Promenade. You should come with us."
"Well, I..."
"Wonderful!" Diana gives Jessica no choice, grabbing her wrist, jerking fast to the left, with Jessica midway in the air and flipped nearly onto her face, and dragged to the trolley like a rag doll.
It was at this point, Jessica considers leaving Huntington Island a mistake!

B Story:
It's a crowded day on the beach.
Lots of tight, young bodies in bikinis and trunks, getting wet, glistening in the sun...
But our focus is at a tent, where a middle aged redhead with a bob cut, 180 pounds with a round face, spongy arms and legs, sagging DD's, and a drooping pot belly wrapped in a green one piece with a floral red mom skirt, smiles at retractable table with a bald middle aged kappa in a blue suit.
"Good Morning, California, and Happy Purple Lobster Day!" Mary Jane Watson happily announces on Channel 7 News. "As always, I'm Mary Jane Watson, and with me today is none other than Prime Minister John Tanaka! Thanks for being on the show, Prime Minister Tanaka."
"Please, call me John." The Prime Minister speaks with a Posh British Accent. "And thanks for having me. I simply adore your program!"
"Who doesn't?!" MJ chuckles, her belly quivering like a wave.
"For tourist unfamiliar, Purple Lobster Day is a really big deal here. It celebrates The Kappa settling the islands over seven hundred years ago from their homeland of Japan, it's the anniversary of a victory against Spanish Conquistadors, The foundling day of The British Commonwealth of California, and the day the late Sam Miller invented multiversal travel."
"To celebrate October 24th, we have a big festival to honor our ancestors..." John smiles. "And The Great Purple Lobster who brought our people to these islands."
"Which is why, after the fireworks tonight, you'll be seeing giant purple lobsters set to sea." MJ laughs. "The kids love it!"
John nods.
"Now, to start our show, it's time for Ask MJ!" Mary Jane happily chirps. "The Show where tourists ask me anything they want to know, via tide." On this world, tide is basically Twitter.
"So, ask away! What would you like to know?!"
A) Where are you from, Mary Jane?
B) What's A Day in a Life? Lots of people on the island have been talking about it.
C) Something else
