This story is here because my friend claimed that I could only write serious things. So, I must prove that I can write a comedy... hopefully it won't be bad.
"Speech"
Thoughts
1:00 AM. Raven strolled down the street to her favorite tea shop, lost in thought. But that wasn't really unusual for her. Before she knew it, she found herself at the door and she entered, putting some money down at the counter, not even looking at the pink haired girl who was behind it.
"The usual, please."
Shit, Jinx thought. What's the usual? But if I ask her, she'll stop being distracted enough to notice me.
Jinx quickly walked to the back room and ripped the duct tape off of the girl's lips.
"Quick, tell me what she usually gets and maybe I'll let you go."
"U-uh-" the girl squeaked out as Jinx glared at her
"Out with it!"
"Um, herbal tea with a tiny bit of ginseng-"
"Thanks," Jinx moved to leave.
"Um, are you letting me go-"
Jinx sighed and cut the bonds holding the girl's wrists together. "Fine, but don't scream. And don't worry, I won't be back tomorrow. I'll have... a guest to entertain."
The girl nodded meekly and ran out the back door.
Jinx laughed to herself and began preparing the tea. A few herbal tea leaves, some ginseng, a bit of sweet bread to go with it, and-
"A sprinkle of my specialty," she smirked.
She walked out with the pot of tea and bread on a tray and wordlessly placed it in front of Raven. The hooded girl murmured her thanks and sipped at the tea lightly before nibbling at the bread. And after a few more sips, she began feeling a bit dizzy. She frowned and blinked a few times to try to focus her vision, but found that it only made the pain in her head worse.
Drugged... she looked toward the counter at the smirking Jinx. Shit.
"We're going to have some fun, my sweet," Jinx stood over her and hoisted her over one shoulder. Raven did not even have time to protest before everything went black.
Raven woke up tied to a chair, her cloak gone, with a huge migraine brewing up in her head. Slowly her vision came in focus and she saw Jinx setting up a few cameras around her.
"Ugh," she moaned. "Couldn't you have picked a better drug to use? This one hurts like hell."
Jinx looked up in surprise. "That was fast. I thought you'd be out for another hour, at least. Oh, and sorry babe. Had to find some way to keep you from using your powers. Figured a huge headache would do it."
Raven sighed. "What do you even want with me? And where are the other two who are usually with you?"
Jinx finished setting up the cameras and moved to plug in some wires leading to lights over Raven's head. "Gizmo and Mammoth? They said this wouldn't work so I had to do this by myself. But it did work and now I get to keep the reward to myself."
Raven rolled her eyes. "What, kidnap me and try to ask the Titans for ransom money?"
"They said you were smart," Jinx laughed.
The violet haired girl looked around. A classic kidnapping situation, with several cameras and lights set up around her to make a video. Other than that, the room appeared to be kind of dirty, as if it were in some abandoned warehouse.
"This is your hideout? I didn't think it'd be so unclean."
"Nah, just this room is. To throw them off, so they can't identify the location. Anyway, ready to make this video? Or- Hey!"
Jinx ran over as Raven's eyes closed again and her head drooped down.
"Your fault," she murmured softly. "This headache's killing me."
"Hmm, maybe I added too much. Guess we'll have to wait it out."
"Ugh..." Raven fell unconscious again.
Raven smelled the scent of herbal tea and slowly her mind began working again. Her eyes opened and she found herself face to face with Jinx's cat-like eyes. And then her eyes traveled down to the cup of tea in the girl's hand.
She blinked a couple times. "More drugs? Jinx-"
"Take it easy, Raerae. Just something to sooth that awful headache of yours," she spoke teasingly, and Raven glared at her.
"Raerae? What the-"
"Just shut up and drink. I want to finish making this video so I can get my monies."
Raven obliged and Jinx lifted the cup to her lips, tipping it slightly. A bit of tea ran down from Raven's mouth and dripped down from her chin.
"Ugh, if only you were as good at feeding people as you are at making tea."
"Or maybe you're just a messy drinker," Jinx laughed. "And I drink tea myself, so of course I'm good at it. Now, drink up."
Jinx tipped the cup again before Raven could reply and the violet haired girl was forced to drink it down.
"Good girl. Now, ready to roll?"
"With tea dripping down my chin?" Raven glared at her again.
"Right, sorry."
Jinx wiped her face with a napkin and moved back. "Better?"
Raven closed her eyes and pretended to be in pain. "Maybe in a couple minutes."
"Ugh, fine. I'll be back in five. Sit tight," Jinx smirked and left the room.
Alright, now that she's gone... Raven focused her energy within herself and sent out a bolt of darkness to strike the ground. Looks like I can focus enough for my powers to work again. And it doesn't seem like she realizes that I can use my powers without having to move my hands.
Raven focused again and was about to untie the ropes restraining her, but then stopped. Although... hmm. She seems like she'd be fun to mess with. Maybe I'll stick around for a while...
She smirked to herself but quickly stopped as Jinx reentered the room.
"Okay, enough time to recover. Let's get this show on the road."
