"So now what am I supposed to do?" Jinx mumbled to herself the day after she'd walked away from the Hive Five.
She'd just left; she had absolutely nothing and nowhere to go. Looking back on it now, it didn't seem like it was one of her better decisions. Stupid Kid Flash had stopped showing his face as well, so no help from him.
She considered robbing as bank, and then she'd at least have some money. It would be a onetime deal, she would get all the money she would need and then start changing her life. She really couldn't start to change her life if she had nothing.
So she started on her way to the nearest bank, one that she had robbed about 20 times already (only four times successfully). However, on her way, she got distracted by a book store. Usually, she could resist the temptation that book stores gave her; she didn't like stealing books, she used the library.
This time, though, she couldn't resist. The last book in her favorite series sat in the store window, just waiting to be read. She didn't know how she could have missed the fact that the book came out, she usually kept track of that kind of thing.
It didn't take much; it was just a matter of hexing the window and grabbing the book.
She hesitated, but then smashed the window with a powerful hex, snatched the book and ran.
