I felt like writting something a little bit longer than a drabble. So this could be a two or three shot, it all depends if you guys like it!
I've always wanted to write something like, really awesome, with a lot of action and maybe a little bit of drama, but my grammar is keeping me from it :( Hopefully, one day I'll be as good in english as I am in spanish.
Again, I'm really sorry for any misspelling!
Disclaimer: I obviously own nothing.
"I should have brought one of our fucking cars" the pink haired sorceress cursed at the wind as she rubbed her arms, trying to keep herself warm. It was nearly winter, but the streets of -whatever was the name of the city she was currently in- were freezing cold alredy.
It had been three weeks since she left her team. And two since the last time she saw him -not that she's been couting, of course-. It was near a police station in Jump City. They didn't talk. She wasn't even sure if he had seen her that day. Hopefully for her, he hadn't, because that day in particular wasn't a good day. Running away from the only life you've known, the only people you thought you could trust, and then suddenly running into the guy that -kind of- caused it all, wasn't a situation that Jinx would happily get into. So she prayed to all the gods above, even if she didn't belive in any of them, that Kid Flash wouldn't notice her. Strangely, considering her luck, it seemed like he didn't. So she decided to play dumb and pretend that she hadn't seen him either -even though a teeny tiny little stupid part of her wanted him to see her and follow her around like he always did-. Needless to say, she ignored that part of her, because obiously that part knows nothing.
Pushing her thoughts aside, Jinx closed her eyes and relaxed for a moment. Lifting her head towards the sky, she noticed it was getting dark. The sun had set a while ago and the breeze was getting colder. Her boots and her cargo coat were not going to be enough to keep her warm during the night. "I should probably head to that jerk's place before it gets darker" she thought looking at the map she had gotten from her... guy? Sure, she had seen him a few times at the club where she used to hang with the H.I.V.E Five and other villians, they even flirted from time to time, but she wouldn't call him a "friend". Far from that. He owed her a favor and, at the moment, she couldn't afford being picky when it came to crushing in someone's place. After all, she didn't have any friends left, only people "she knew" from this or that place.
So she started walking again and followed the directions on the map for about an hour, until she came across a very dark alley that looked like a perfect place for smugglers and robbers to hide. "Damn, this could be my new place, it's perfect for me" she thought with a laugh. Of course she wasn't scared, this is Jinx we're talking about. Yet, something felt weird about that place. Ignoring the feeling, Jinx walked straight into the shadows of the alley. She had taken just a few steps when she heard noises. Someone was struggling to get free from who-knows-what.
"Please, leave me alone, I swear I'm not gonna steal from you guys anymore!" Said a little terrified voice.
"Shut it, kiddo! You mess with us, you face the consequences!"
"That's right sucker. Now give us back the money or your little sister is gonna pay for it" Said a man with a voice that Jinx couldn't help to find repulsive, as a little girl sobbed desperately not very far from them.
"NO!" Said the boy "Not Lily, please! I swear I'm gonna play you, just leave her alone!" he begged.
"You see kid, it's obvious that you don't have the money right now, and the thing is, I DON'T FEEL LIKE WAITING" Jinx heard a struggle, then a cry from a little girl, and she knew the boy had been punched on the face, falling unconscious on the ground. It wasn't any of her bussines, she knew. She also knew she should just leave and look for another way to get to her destination, but something stopped her.
That little girl.
"What the fuck are they gonna do with her?" Jinx thought, disgusted.
"HEY! Why don't you pick on victims your own size?!" Jinx stepped out of the shadows to face the bullies. They were two guys, very big ones, but still not as big as Mammoth. When they faced her, she noticed both of them had scars on their faces and arms, and their fists were closed tightly, ready to fight the intruder. Still, they didn't hide their surprise at the sight of a very small, petite, pink haired girl with threatening eyes. They thought she was almost funny, except for the look on her face. They smirked.
"Whoa whoa whoa! Look man, seems like we made this little miss angry!"
"She looks like a little cat, man! What you' gonna do? Scratch me with your pretty nails?"
"Oh I can do more than scratch. Let go of the girl so I can show you" Jinx said with a smirk of her own.
"You wanna join the party, Princess? Don't be jelous, the same I do to her, I can do it to you too" Said one of the guys pointing at the trembling little girl, smiling devilishly.
"You disgusting asshole!" Jinx said as she felt her hands and eyes burning from all of the power she hadn't released since she left Jump City.
Her hexes hit the guy who was holding the little girl right in his chest. The power was so strong that the single blast knocked him off his feet and sent him flying towards the nearest wall. Needless to say, he fell unconscious on the ground, next to the little girl's brother who was starting to recover from the punch that the now knocked out man had given him not so long ago.
"YOU FREAK!" Said the other bully.
After that, things happened really fast. Without thinking it twice, bully numer two reached down to his waistband to get the gun he had tucked in. Luckily, Jinx reacted even faster, cause' as soon as she saw the guy's actions, she released another hex-bolt right into his leg, wich caused him to lose his balance and also the gun, that went flying and landed very close to the Lily, the little girl.
Jinx almost fest guilty, because as soon as she heard her hex hitting the guy's leg, and the painfull scream that came after that, she knew she must have broken it somewhere.
"AAGGH YOU BITCH! YOU BROKE MY LEG!"
"Well that's what you get for trying to abuse a little girl, you big fucker. Hopefully that'll teach you and your stupid partner" Jinx said as she walked towards the panting man with a devilish look on her face. "Also, who picks a victim that is way weaker than you? What are you, a fucking coward?! Guys like you disgust me" She said, venom in her eyes.
"Hey you, girl. Hand me the gun" Her voice was so dark that the little girl was afraid of coming any closer to this pink haired woman, so she tossed her the gun carelessly. "JESUS, NO, NOT LIKE THAT!" Jinx shouted loosing her composture, afraid that the gun might have shot itself on the air, probably killing her in the process. Still, she caught it graciously before it killed anyone.
Composing herself again and adopting her bitch mode once again, Jinx squatted next to the bully, holding the gun on her hands. She directed her energy through her hand and released it slowly, making the weapon melt and break into several pieces.
"One more thing" She paused, looking right into the guy's eyes. "Tell your partner I'm not a princess. I am the fucking Queen" and then, she punched him in the face, leaving him unconscious.
By the time Jinx had finished the bullies, the girl's brother had woken up and was checking her all over, making sure she didn't have any injuries and that she was ok.
"Thank you, Miss, thank you so much!" He said, attempting to hug Jinx, but stopping inmediately after seeing the look on her face. Still, he was glad because his little sister and he were safe, at least for now. "You were so brave back there, I can't imagine what could have happened if "
"Yeah yeah, it's ok kid" Jinx said, interrumpting him. "I didn't do it for you anyways, you just happened to be on my way. There's no need to say thanks". She stared at her comunicator to see what time it was while she reached for the map in her pocket.
"Yeah but still! Those guys are mean, and yeah it's true, I stole from them, but it's because I needed to get money for me and my sister and"
"HEY!" Jinx said, exasperated "Kid, I don't mean to be rude, but I don't care, ok? I'm gonna leave now. Please don't follow me. Bye."
She didn't look back. After all, she didn't care, right? It's just like she told the boy, they just happened to be on her way... Still, it felt so damn good to use her powers, even if it was just a little... and fine, it wasn't just a little. After all, she had hexed one of them unconscious with almost no effort. Punching the other one in the face felt good too. And she was sure as hell it wasn't because she had been suddenly illuminated and wanted to be a do-godder, put on a stupid cape and save the world from bad people like her. Hell no. She just missed the fights, she missed feeling her powers, being able to control them, she missed feeling powerful.
Lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice someone had been following her all the way throught the street. He studied her, careful not to be noticed.
"Oh Jinxie, there's no way I'm gonna let this one go so easily." Kid Flash smirked.
Is it good? Is is bad? Should I keep going? Should I stop? You tell me!
Have a great day :D
