Jinx's New Life

Oh, yeah… before I forget… I do not own the Teen Titans. Trust me, if I did, I'd be living somewhere… better than this. Lol I'm only going to say it once, but I did say it, so don't send your lawyers after me.

Half a year already? Man, it feels like just yesterday the Titans took me in…

Robin and I are good friends still. He was nice to me after the incident in the HIVE. I guess he likes seeing bad guys turn good. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the main reason he was being so nice to me. He and I were combat partners, when we were using hand-to-hand combat at least. Cyborg was way to strong for me in hand-to-hand, so he partnered with Starfire. Raven and Beast Boy of course, partnered with each other. We actually have a lot of fun in just hand-to-hand sometimes, since we don't have to focus using our powers or worry about grabbing weapons.

Beast Boy and I are friends. He is sometimes like the immature little brother I have always wanted. He is funny (well, not as much as he thinks, but he does have his moments…), kind, caring, but he stinks at video games. You can tell that much from how Cyborg is constantly beating him in them.

Starfire and I are good friends as well. Raven isn't much for girl-talk, but Starfire and me are. Many a night we have snuck into each other's rooms just to talk animatedly. About half of those times, either Raven or Robin have knocked loudly on the door and screamed, "CUT IT OUT!" Sometimes, they can be really big grouches…

Raven and I… well, I don't know what we are. I don't think 'friends' truly describes our relationship. I think she trusts me a little now, definitely more than she did before. Starfire says that that is a good sign, but I am not sure… Maybe it is just that she has a harder time than everyone making friends or trusting people. It may be another six months before she fully trusts me and is counted as a friend.

Cyborg and I have gotten closer and closer with each passing day. I know he thinks of Raven as a sister along with Starfire. He thinks of Robin as his best buddy in the world, and Beast Boy as his little brother. He's everyone's little brother, apparently. He just has that little brother-like aura around him… I know that his father gave him his cybernetic side after an accident, saving his life. I know how much he loves technology. I know a lot about him, yet he knows little about me. Well, he thinks he knows a lot. But some of the secrets I have from the past will stay just that—secrets.

I have a great new life here. I have close friends I couldn't even think of getting at the HIVE. I have an awesome boyfriend, where at the HIVE, if I was ever going to get a boyfriend, it would probably be Gizmo or Mammoth. Which would be weird… and I mean really weird. I've known them forever… Besides, neither one of them are my age. Gizmo is what, ten? Mammoth is probably like, twice my age as well. Cyborg, however, is just about my age, and is a much nicer guy. He is energetic, idealistic, understanding, and knows a little bit about seemingly everything.

I was lying down on my bed, contemplating all of my good fortune. I had many good friends and a makeshift family. I even have one of the most awesome boyfriends I could get! My life is wonderful… and getting better constantly.

I was suddenly brought back from my peaceful thoughts as the alarm rang. I jumped up in the air and landed on my feet (surprisingly) gracefully. I threw open the door, shut it, and ran to the main room.

"Titans! The HIVE is attempting to steal money out of the bank!" yelled Robin in his typical we-have-a-mission-so-I-got-to-hurry-and-yell-what's-going-on manner. Every single one of the Titans looked at me suspiciously, like they were expecting me to be upset at having to fight former teammates. "Well? What are we waiting for? I'm okay with it, let's go!" I yelled to them. They all gave silent nods as we dashed outside.

Sorry the chapter is kinda short! I hoped you liked the first chapter of Jinx's Dilemmas! The next chapter will be about fighting the HIVE at the bank, of course. This chapter was more introductory than necessary. It was just used to describe Jinx's 'perfect' life. R&R!
