The friendly shark lady sighed appreciatively as her enthusiastic helper spread sunscreen lotion on her back. "You're really good with your hands back there."
Her helper was so glad he dared lotion the shark. "No problem, miss... uh..."
"You can call me Kay. Or Newt."
"Is that like a nickname?"
"Something like that," she replied in a singsong voice. A chirping came from her beach bag. "Oh drat."
"Me?"
"No, that's my work phone. I have to take this." She stood up, flashing him another friendly smile and more besides.

The shark walked into Abandoned Warehouse #84, now wearing a figure flattering suit. "This better be damn important or entertaining. I was taking some vacay. Letting a handsome man lotion me up. Violating dress code. Relaxing shit like that."
The warehouse was not as abandoned as the narration let on. Sitting on some folding chairs there was her agent Go-Between - in his usual Hawaiian shirt, cargo shirts, and expressionless mask - and someone she didn't recognize.
"Kay, this gentleman here is Control Ring. He has a problem panda he wants pursued."
"Is Problem Panda their name? No? Well, with alliteration, you can't be too careful. Whats this panda problem?" the shark asked.
"Miss Kay-" Control Ring began.
The shark cut him off. "No. Only two kinda people get to call me Kay. Friends and handsome guys." Control Ring's control ring finger twitched a little at the implied insult but he he didn't make a move. "Everyone else can call me 5-Kay Newt. Because five thousand Newtons of force is all anyone gets if they get on my bad side." She smiled a very toothy smile. "So, you were saying about a panda?"
Control Ring cleared his throat. "Um, yes. New panda girl superhero started flying around a couple months ago. Doing stuff like helping fight a giant basketball playing raccoon but also getting in the way of my operations."
5-Kay Newt smirked. "And the mighty Control Ring can't stop her on his own?"
"... No, I can't. I captured her early on before she started the flying around and fighting macros. But even when she should have been under my Control Ring's control, she resisted my commands! So... I figured 'bring in some more muscle. Someone more direct.'"
The shark smiled again. Still very toothy. "Y'know, this does sound interesting enough to cut short my vacation. You chose the right violent brute for the job. I'll chew up your panda problem as easy as this."
And 5-Kay Newt reached up and grabbed an industrial cable that Go-Between had strung up for her and started to bite through it with her indomitable teeth. Clients loved a visual representation like that. They ate that shit up.

So one day, CombatRaccoon was having a "Dressed to Kill" theme and I thought it would be funny to get that unnamed shark character I had dressed like Jaws (the famous Bond Villain, not the famous giant shark). And after getting a picture of that otherwise friendly seeming shark dressed up like a villain, it occurred to me that Mei could use a supervillain. Hence this little narrative bringing Kay and Mei's paths careening together. The flying panda vs the master of biting.
The important thing is that I'm having fun here.
