Steadily snowflakes danced upon the street, forming a glistening blanket of white that most would find beautiful and alluring. That was of course if you had warm clothing, which was not the case of a certain homeless orphan by the name of Jinx. She found the snow rather irritating and worthless.

Jinx wasn't her real name, her real name had been forgotten over the years. She had been abandoned at a rather young age. Long thin legs carried her stick-like malnourished form forward, bare feet trudging through the six inches of snow. Her shoes had finally fallen apart, leaving her with nothing to protect her frozen feet. She had gotten used to this however, growing up on the streets of Jump City did this too you. Her parents had wanted nothing to do with her, due to her strange mutations. Contrast to ordinary eyes, her eyes were in fact a vivid pink as cold as the curb she walked upon. Her hair was the same shade, though at one point had been red. Fading into a light hot-pink, most of it was concealed by a black beanie, but two small pigtails poked out from beneath her ears. The rest of her was normal, but due to those two mutations, she'd been dropped upon the streets at age six, now fifteen.

Shivering her bare shoulders shook, the black dirtied spaghetti strap she had managed to get hold of providing no warmth. She continued her idle amble, with no set destination in place. She was considering going to the spot, where most of the homeless around the area gathered around a large bonfire, but she decided against it. Her and crowds did mesh well together. With a deep sigh, she glanced down and as if it were fate, a large, obviously cash filled leather wallet sat before her on a blanket of snow. A hesitant look spread about her pale, slightly graying face, as she bent down, picking up the wallet. She flipped it open casually, still walking down the somewhat vacant curb. She spotted the license of the owner of the wallet and a curse escaped her pink, chapped lips. James Monroe happened to be the biggest gang leader into he area, imfamous for doing the wrong things. Of course, he was never caught. It didn't surprise her when she turned around, a large group of muscled men approached her, looking rather angry."That's the who stole my wallet!"One of the shorter, but most frightening man accused, a dark finger pointed at her. Eyes widened considerably, and she took off at a sprint, knowing handing them the wallet would only irritate them further. So she ran, as fast as she possible could for as long as she could. Which wasn't very long, being cold, hungry, and in a rather poor health. Gasping for breath, she sharply turned into an alley, unable to run much longer. She bent over, hands on her knees as she inhaled and exhaled rapidly. She heard the snickers of laughter and the footsteps. Knowing that the gang had followed her she once again took off, towards the back of the alley, only to find a ten foot fence blocking her path out. Jinx scrambled to climb it, but was a second too slow. A callused hand wrapped around her ankle, roughly prying her from the fence. She was slung into the brick wall, crashing into it silently, not a single yelp of pain escaping her.

A sticky gooey substance dripped down the back of her beanie, trailing down her neck. She lied there for a moment, the pain in her skull temporarily paralyzing her. Quickly, one of the many gangs members had picked her flinging once again into the wall as if she were a rag doll. She was tossed into the concrete, though the snow didn't lessen the pain of her fall. Groaning, she was punched rapidly in the face, despite her attempts to punch back. She did manage to do so, hitting one the of them in the face. In return she was punched ferociously in the temple. She let out a high-pitched scream, the darkness creeping closer as her consciousness slowly faded. As she was falling unconscious in her own pool of blood, she had spotted a flash of yellow and red. Giving no time to think about this, she fell into the darkness, her eyes shutting for most likely the last time.
