FYI: In this post calling all Titans, post Steve Erwin version of the Teen Titans, Jinx is one of the titans and was out in the last chapter.
Also, I would like to thank my favorite author for the scene change thing, so thank you Mvctar Avrelivs
It was early morning and the Titans were still tired from a late night of video games, hurling up his guts, and apologizing to robin for making him so sick while Beast Boy and Cyborg took a break from video games to laugh at Robin for eating all of the food Starfire gave him.
Raven on the other hand seemed to be the only one who got more the a few hours of sleep, so she had to make breakfast since her friends may fall asleep on the stove if they had to do it.
" Looks like some one got killed last night," Robin yawned from behind the news paper.
" I didn't die that much, " Beast Boy said tiredly.
" Not you," Robin said putting the paper down for all to see, " some guy got his neck broken when he tried to steel a woman's purse," he said pointing to the picture on the front page.
"Good for her," a distracted Raven said. " How long am I supposed to cook these stupid pancakes!" she asked the box in an irritated voice.
"I think until they look brown," Cyborg yawned.
" It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that a person with for red eyes did it with one hand," Robin said to a slowly catching on crowd. " Raven," he asked, " do you have any relatives about your age?"
Raven thought for a second before saying, " I don't know any of my relatives, other than my mom and Trigon."
" Could it not be a coincidence?" Starfire said to Robin.
" I don't know Star, but I hope it is."
Suddenly aware of a smoky smell Beast Boy looked and said, " Raven, I don't think that those should be flaming."
Raven turned to see her attempt at breakfast going up in smoke. Using a glass of water, she quickly put out the small pancake fire. She looked up, sighed, and said, " How does the Paper Boy get out here anyway?"
" He made a super slingshot that shoots it out here," Robin replied.
"Why?" Raven asked.
"I give him an extra five dollars a week." Robin said simply.
At that time Jinx came in, saw the paper and said, " Are you guys done with the funny pages yet?"
Robin handed her the whole thing and said, " Check out the front page."
"Just what I want to see before breakfast, a corpse with its head facing the wrong way."
" Why do I think we are gonna see this guy soon," Beast Boy said in a depressed voice.
" Don't worry BB, I won't let him kick your butt," Cyborg said, a little to enthusiastically.
" There," Raven said triumphantly, " breakfast is don't. Here you go." Raven held out a plate full of slightly burnt pancakes.
" Dude, are those vegetarian pancakes?" Beast Boy barely got the words out of his mouth before a box that said vegetarian pancakes mix was thrown at his head. " Thanks for telling me, Raven," he said after dunking.
Raven turned and picked up two bottles of syrup and a container of mustard, then gave them to her friends.
Starfire grabbed the mustard and put it on her pancakes saying, " Thank you for the pan cakes, Raven." She turned to Jinx and said, "Friend Jinx was your late night shopping fruit full?"
Jinx looked down at her new purple shirt and black pants that said unlucky on the side before saying, " Yeah, I think so."
Even though the Titans didn't fully trust her yet, they still thought of Jinx as a friend.As for Jinx, she liked it that she could use her talents without being thrown in jail, and she did enjoy playing the heroine.
"So... what's for breakfast today," Jinx asked before sitting infront of an empty plate.
" Pancakes," Raven said irritated.

Still enjoying the feeling of last night's kill, the half-demon stared off into space. " Maybe next time I shouldn't leave any witnesses," he grinned to himself. He then continued his mission to deliver his letter. He looked up at the tower, " they need more than cameras and a few motion sensors to catch me," he said. He put a letter on the door before ringing the bell and then fading into nothingness.
(Scene change)
The Titans looked up from their breakfast when the door bell rang.
Beast Boy was the first to say, " Dude, we have a door bell."
" Apparently." Robin said not sure if hisanswer was right.
After a moment of everyone looking at each other Jinx finally said, " Alright I'll get it." She returneda moment later with a letter that said "To: The Teen Titans" on the front. Jinx looked around at the other teens in the room before saying, " Who wants tho read it?" in a voice that plainly said that she didn't want to.
Robin walked over, retrieved the letter, opened it, read it through once with increasingly large eyes and said with a voice that betrayed his shock, " Guys, a murderer just hand delivered a letter to our door and walked off without our ever knowing, until he wanted us to." The entire room seemed to grow colder after he said it.
(Scene change)
" I wonder if they'll show up." the half-demon said to no one. He looked around his hideout noting that the sewer was hardly the place he wanted to stay, " this old, rundown sewer is definitely not the place I wanted to stay, but it does give me a maze of tunnels to loose a few enemies or bodies in and ,at least here, the smell isn't too bad."
The room he was referring to was a large area in the sewers that was not in use any more. I t was very dungeon like which helped sell him on it, and the beast part was that it's previous owner a bad heart and could stand the scare the half-breed gave him, so he "inherited" a few boxes of pine air fresheners to relieve some of the smell of rotting this and that.
He looked around at his spars furnishings and sighed, " Maybe after I meet the Titans in front of that clock tower on main street I should rob a furniture store, because this is depressing," he indicated his sofa, television, and table with chair that supplied the only comfort in the room.
(Scene change)
It was seven o'clock, the time that the letter indicated to meet this new villain, no one was on the street for three blocks around the clock tower and the police barricades made sure it stayed that way. Night would be upon them in a half-hour.
"Dude, where is he?" Beast Boy said, tired of waiting.
" Maybe he won't show." Jinx said hopefully
" Or maybe," a voice said from the shadows, " he's right behind you."
Fear griped the Titans as they turned to see who spoke, when they saw him they became paralyzed with fear. He was only a few inches taller than Raven, he wore a dark, blood red cloak that was tattered at the bottom, his gloved hands were at his sides, he wore crimson bracers on his fore arm, his chest was covered with a simple red, long sleeved shirt, his pants were just as simple, he also wore shoes similar to Raven's, but all that concerned Raven was his burning red eyes, all fore were looking straight at her.
" First, my name is Crow and I am Raven's Twin brother," he said to a disbelieving crowd, " and second, I'm afraid it's time to die." He raised his hand, a red orb of energy grew around it, and then a tendril flew towards Raven's chest like a spear.
Will our heroes escape unscathed, will Raven live to see tomorrow, and ,for those teenage boys out there, what is her sexual preference. All those questions and more will be answered in the next chapter.
