A Little Black Magic
Disclaimer: i don't own teen titans.
This story takes place after the brotherhood of evil. Kid Flash left Jinx, so she went back to the Hive Five for work. Eventually she became their leader.
Raven was sitting in her room, meditating when the alarm sounded. "Titans, trouble!" Came the call from Robin, as it had so many times before. Raven joined the others in the t-car and they sped off.
"Yo Robin, what's going down?" Cyborg had called Robin on the communicator that he'd installed on the car. "There's a bank heist going on downtown. The Hive five have been reported to be the culprits."
As they raced toward the scene, raven thought about the upcoming fight. I'll have to neutralize Jinx before she can use her power, or we'll be in serious trouble. Raven wasn't overly concerned. They had fought the Hive five man times, with only one loss. The Titans had pretty much perfected the art of stomping the five villians.
As they Came closer to the bank, Beast Boy Sniffed the air. "Its not just the Hive. There's something else."
Raven looked at beast Boy. She liked him, more than she would admit to herself, let alone him. She wondered for the umpteenth time if there could have been something there if she wasn't... But there was no point in thinking like that. Like it or not, she was her, and nothing would change that. They pulled up to the bank a second later, watching as the police put up a hasty road block to prevent people from entering the battle zone.
they piled out of the car, forming up on Robin. With his trademark yell of "Titans, Go!" they moved into the bank. Raven moved through the wall as a being of pure energy, shifting back once she was through.
Inside was a scene of chaos. a few people were there, hiding behind anything they could use to shield themselves. Behind the tellers was the vault area, where smoke was billowing out of.
They worked fast this time, she thought as the others came through the doors. they usually don't get to the vault before we get here. She readied herself to attack the five villians as soon as they came through the smoking doorway.
Faintly, she saw an orange light inside the smoke. That's weird, Gizmo's toys are usually colored blue. The weapon fired, a brilliant beam that swept across the room, melting anything it touched. Raven flew above the beam, watching the space she had occupied heat to unbelievable temperaures. That's not Gizmo, he doesn't have access to that kind of heat weaponry.
"It's not the Hive five." her voice, deadpan though it was, was loud enough to be heard by the other Titans. The orange beam lashed out again, sweeping through the room, melting holes in the walls big enough to be seen through.
"Titans, evade that beam!" No kidding, thought Raven. The Titans scattered, cyborg diving behind the quickly melting counter, Beast boy turning into a fly and buzzing away as fast as he could. Robin tossed a freeze disc into the beam before flipping away to hide behind a wall, starfire took flight, moving nearer the ceiling. Raven levitated, moving around the room in an effort to dodge the beam .
Raven put a shield up in front of her to take the shot. The beams didn't sweep as they had previously, however; instead concentrating on Raven and her shield. Uh-oh, i'm in trouble.
Raven felt her shield beginning to fail, and just as it was about to give out, she was tackled out of he air by a pink and black-blur. She landed, the other person landing on top of her.
Raven looke up into the violet eyes of Jinx, who was currently straddling her, one leg on each side of Raven's waist. Raven's hood fell off, revealing her face to Jinx. The two magic girls looked at each other, and Raven got a good look at the hex-tossing teen. She had never really looked at Jinx before, the only time they had met being in battle.
Jinx's hair had apparently come undone earlier, as she had tied her pink hair back into one ponytail, instead of the normal two. One strand of hair had come out, falling across the girl's soft face.
Raven jealously wished she could look that effortlessly attractive. Raven could feel the lithe frame's muscles moving through Jinx's outfit, reminding her of what lay below that face: A fit, lean body, almost exactly like her own.
I wonder what she would feel like next to me. Raven blushed at the unexpected thought, then realized Jinx had been looking her over as well, the same expression on her flushed face.
Get a hold of yourself, she's a criminal. Unknown to Raven, Jinx was thinking almost exactly the same thing. "I hate to ruin this moment," Jinx said , "But there is a large, nasty, unwelcome alien trashing our bank."
Raven arched an eyebrow. "Our bank?" Jinx's reply was sharp. "Yes, our bank. The Hive Five have this area claimed as our stomping ground. We don't let anyone else commit crimes here." Raven nodded in understanding.
"Okay. So how is this going to work?" jinx smiled, finally climbing off Raven's torso. Raven felt a small twinge of regret, then she shook herself. I am NOT thinking this. Even if she is pretty good-looking...Stop it! Focus! Jinx's smiled a mischeivious smile, not helping Raven's attempts to focus on the task at hand.
"Simple. When I give the word, Gizmo will toss out some holograms for a distraction. Then Mammoth and will take out that thing. If that doesn't work, then we'll regroup and I'll try to break its weapon. If it comes down to that, I could use a way to get closer."
Raven gave her new cohort a small smile. "I can get you there, if you think your power will work" "It'll work. It's either that or collapse the building on it, and that kinda defeats the purpose."
Raven relayed the message to her teammates as Jinx got ready to signal the waiting Hive members. Robin voiced his objection. "Raven, are you honestly going to listen to a group of criminals? You have no idea what they're thinking; we could be walking into a trap."
Jinx stuck her face next the the communicator and replied, "Don't worry, Bird Boy, I'll bring her pretty little head back in one piece, count on it." She turned off the communicator and winked at Raven, making her blush slightly. "Of course, I never said when I'd bring you back, did I?" Raven couldn't help but smile at the pink-haired sorceress. "I'll take my chances." Jinx laughed. "Alright, let's go."
Raven watched as Jinx turned around and whistled loudly, setting the plan a in motion and giving Raven a nice view of her backside. Dirty thoughts filled Raven's head, and she almost missed the results of the attempt.
The holograms appeared, running at the doorway. The beam swept across them, but not before two jumped out of the way. The holograms became a frenzy of movement, diving this way and that, dozens of cyborgs and mammoths moving across the room toward the thing in the doorway. Finally, the real versions threw themselves through the doorway, attacking the creature. Raven and the others waited for them to emerge from the smoke cloud, becoming more and more anxious as they heard the grunts and smacks from beyond the door.
there was one last grunt, and mammoth came flying back out, holding a piece of...something. It looked like a large arm, but there was no hand at the end, just a hole in the flesh. Cyborg followed soon after, running out of the smoke, waving his arms and shouting. "We got the beam cannon! But it's pissed!"
Raven and Jinx looked at one another. Raven spoke first. "this won't end well." Jinx's response was a cheshire cat smile. "You're right, it won't." The alien charged, tearing through part of the wall and bearing down on its missing arm.
What ensued was the weirdest game of hot potato ever; the Titans and the Hive tossing the arm between them in an effort to keep it away from its owner. Gizmo shouted through the noise: "that scud-munchin' freak's not much bigger than us, he's wearin' some kinda armor."
Jinx, her acrobatic, almost-dancelike movements keeping her just out of harm's reach, jumped onto the alien warrior's back, spraying him with hex-blasts. While a couple managed to penetrate, breaking off pieces of the living armor, most just bounced off.
Suddenly, the creature threw itself onto its back, trying to crush the suprised witch. Jinx didn't even have time to scream. Raven, unthinkng, wrapped Jinx in a cocoon of black energy, pulling the pink-haired sorceress to her reflexively wrapping her arms around her and pulling her tight. Jinx wrapped her arms around the dark girl's neck, holding on for dear life as Raven flew them out of the way. As they touched down, Raven set Jinx down, but the girl continued to stand there, her arms still locked around Raven.
"Hey Jinx, you okay?" Jinx looked stunned. "No one's ever saved me before." Raven shrugged. "Its no big deal. Now come on, we've still got a fight to win." Jinx let Raven go(a little reluctantly, she thought) and they re-entered the fight. Raven hit upon an idea. "Cyborg, Mammoth, get ready to hit him on my signal. Robin, Seemore, and Gizmo, Do you hall have some kind of freeze weapon?" They all shouted affirmatives from where they were jumping around, trying not to get caught by the alien.
And so their plan came together. Robin, Seemore and Gizmo froze the alien, Jinx used bad luck on the armor pieces themselves instead of the thing inside, and Mammoth and Cyborg smashed the armor pieces, slowly revealing the alien within. Once they had smashed off the armor the alien was wrapped in a bubble of dark energy, the fight was over. The police came and carted off the alien, thanking the teen titans for a job well done.
Robin looked around for the Hive, intending to tell the officer about their part in the arrest, but they had slipped of unnoticed beforehand. "Oh, well. We'll see them again." As they departed the bank, Raven was nudged from behind. She turned, and it was one of Gizmo's little robots, holding a black cell phone in its claws. It pushed the cell phone into her body again, almost expectant. Raven took the cell phone and the machine flew off, vanishing around a corner. Raven placed the phone into a small pocket in her cloak and climbed into the T-Car, hoping no one had noticed.
Actually, two someones had noticed the strange gift. Robin, sitting behind the T-Car on his bike, cocked an eyebrow. Since when does Raven get stuff from the Hive members? Robin filed the information away as they raced back to the Titans Tower. The second set of eyes were just above a large smile on the face of the second observer. Jinx smiled at the memory of the dark-girl holding her so tightly. Much tighter than was necessary, not that I'm complaining. I wonder if she's bi too? Only one way to find out. Jinx took out a black cell phone that was the Hive's primary means of communication. I'll talk to you later, Raven.
End Chapter 1
There it is, chapter 1. R&R if you could, and tell me how you like it, I'll also look at suggestions for improvement, seeing as I'm still new at this.
