Chapter One

Rejection

Jinx in her room among the villains glared at one of her homemade mirrors. She looked down at her gray hands. Most people couldn't see the barely visible scars on her seemingly delicate hands. The mirror was made of a wood that was bent to look like a wheel. It took her several hours to make it. Most people didn't know that she had a keen interest in making things whenever she could. From bottles made of plastic down to the tires of cars. From time to time she would gather wood and carve them into things that somehow seemed to come to life.

The mirror had several types of glass. Some white. Lots of crystal-clear glass. But the thing that made hers unique was the fact that she added a sort of round black wood at the back before adding the glass. There were all kinds of colors. Jinx would mostly hide the mirror not wanting anyone to realize that she had a gift for working with her hands. The wood that she used to hold the whole thing was polished smooth and painted sky blue with golden orange stripes.

Her hair that she put up as pigtails made her feel silly. Why did she even think of this hairstyle? It was because she was a spy. Unlike most spies she had a group of people who were rejected cause not many of them knew how to control their powers. Jinx being their leader took all her heart and soul to teach people how to bridle their powers, even those who didn't have the same powers as she did. But Jinx knew that there would come a time when the group felt that they had to show the world what they were made of. And they needed recruits to help keep the group. As far as Jinx could tell only two or three seemed to need to join the group. And about five seemed to be good teachers.

Almost the way she dressed was to keep people from thinking that she was a spy for the J.A.P. The J.A.P. were the three leaders who made the group sum years ago for those who were rejected by the Heads of Heroes group. Besides the Teen Titians they were number one and were known to have some of the most powerful superheroes ever. Jinx had relatives who were in the group. After being rejected by the H.H. Jinx decided that she and perhaps others would want to join a group that would teach supers to have a good handle on their powers and that they would accept failure whenever it came their way.

"I'm one of those leaders," mumbled Jinx to herself.

Jinx, Astron, and Pin were the ones who started the whole Shadowed Gang. The gang when it came to teaching other rejects was neutral group. They neither join the good guys nor the villains. Astron over a million times pointed out that the group couldn't remain neutral forever. Jinx sighed. As much as she wanted the Shadowed group to stay together there was just no way.

"Forever is a long time. That's enough time for changes to settle in," said Pin.

Jinx left her room knowing that within a few minutes there would be an announcement. Once in the gym Jinx noticed that the headmaster that a chillingly huge smile on his face. He never got over the fact that Stone, in secret Cyborg, betrayed them. Nor had he over Bee-Bee. Both were one of the top students in the villains' school. Weather the head master knew it or not there was another spy. In her opinion he didn't do a good job at hiding that fact. Flash Kid.

Not wanting the headmaster to know she was there she hid herself. Her skin crawled at seeing one of the most feared and oldest villains in the whole world. Rouse, The brain, and his giant gorilla that was purple. "What are they doing here?" wondered Jinx. Quietly she moved closer so that she could hear what was going on. Having eyes that were as sharp as cats Jinx saw Flash Kid also hiding and moving closer. Lowering herself so nether the people she was spying on and Flash Kid could see her.

"Welcome," said the Headmaster. "I'm quite surprised that such great villains would give their attention to this puny place."

"Don't charm yourself Brother Blood," replied the Brain. "You know as well as I why we are here."

"Yes of course," replied Brother Blood bowing. "Which of my students has caught your eye?"

"Your powerful students," replied the gorilla.

"Ah. Let me see if I can remember their names. One of them would be Gizmo. The rest of Mammoth, Jinx, and surprisingly Flash Kid."

"Flash Kid? He wouldn't happen to be the son of the Flash would he?" asked Rouge.

"From what I can tell he's not," replied Blood coolly.

The Brain, "What can each of these children do?"

"Gizmo can invent things and figure outs problems before any of the others."

"And what flaw does he have?" asked Rouge.

"Sadly he doesn't think things through. None of the boys do."

"And this Jinx?" asked The Brain.

"A natural sorceress who casts bad luck to her foes. She's quite a puzzlement for one so…well she is something that carries surprises."

"From your pausing she sounds like a as you phrased a puzzlement," said The Brain.

Jinx quickly left the scene estimating that the Headmaster and the Great Three would join forces. Leaving the building she leaped as Robin did from building to building. Being several miles away she started studying the street that had buildings. Before she could leap and begin the process of robbing one of the banks she sensed Blood trying to communicate with her. Clearing her mind she knew that she was ordered to head back to the Hive. That didn't surprise her.

Entering the gym again she made sure that her mind was full of others things. Like the feeling of wondering what could be more important than stealing a bank.

"Here you are Jinx," said the Headmaster.

"This is Jinx?" said Rouge clearly not pleased with the way Jinx looked.

"Don't underestimate her Rouse," replied Blood placing a hand on Jinx's shoulder. "She's a lot tougher than she looks. Take my word for it."

"I don't suppose she knows who we are," said Rouse coldly.

"Jinx?" asked Brother Blood knowing that Jinx would prove that she knew full well who they were.

Jinx pointing at Rouge.

"Rouge. She can stretch and can also assume form of any person she wants."

Looking at The Brain.

"I assume you're the leader and can easily think of ways of conquering the world?"

"Yes. Also do you know my third comrade?"

"Not by name but I have heard that each time he grows smarter he becomes stronger," replied Jinx coolly.

The gorilla smiled, "I agree with you Blood. She's more sharper than she lets on."

Jinx looked at the giant gorilla in the eyes.

"I find I'm quiet envious of that gift of yours."

The gorilla laughed.

"Charming," replied The Brain.

"Much like our youngest member," said the gorilla.

Jinx knew that she was being compared to Rouge. Rouge glared at her. Jinx glared back at her.

"I see that she is also fearless," commented The Brain. "Perhaps it would not be bad to have the younger generation work alongside us."

"I'm pleased to hear that Brain," replied Blood. "Jinx, do gather everyone for the important news. I believe well be allied with the Great Three."

Jinx bowed her head and walked out of the room. When she could she would have to tell the Shadowed what was going on and for them to be prepared to join or fight.
