Travis was stuck in a tree

Kathy was too pumped to go back to the dorms and safety after class got out, so she decided that patrolling was just the thing to do. Maybe she'd find some sign of whoever had sent the eels with jetpacks after the island?

In all honesty, though, she didn't really care whether she did or not. She was just having a good time.

...Yeah, Kathy's priorities might need to be examined. But that was for later. Now was for eel-hunting.

She didn't even pause to wonder why there were a cluster of eels swarming around a tree. She was too busy flinging herself into the middle of it with a well-placed spin kick. Several eels went crashing to the ground and Kathy grabbed for a tree branch to help pull herself into posi-- "Ahh!"

There was another kid in the tree!

"Holy crap!" Travis yelped, bracing himself against a branch when it suddenly started to shake. "Careful, careful! I'm gonna fall!"

"Whoa, hey! Hold on!" Kathy let go of his branch, landing in a couch on another a few feet below. She wobbled on it for a moment before catching her balance and very slowly stood up.

Thank you crazy super-agility powers. You were the very best and Kathy loved you lots and lots.

"You okay?" she asked, looking up at him. She tensed, in case he was going to make good on that threat and fall out of the tree.

"As long as there's no sudden earthquakes or no one shakes the tree, I'll be fine," Travis said, letting out a breath and relaxing the grip on his skateboard. "I'm good."
