Chapter Three

Villains and Broken Communicators

Titans Tower, Jump City

"Where am I?" Jinx asked. She looked around and seemed to be laying on a green sofa somewhere. Jinx turned her head to see Kid Flash "Titans Tower," Kid Flash said. "You fainted after defeating Madam Rouge and the Hive Five, or at least now it's the Hive Four. Kyd Wykkyd wasn't there. Any way, after the battle, I brought you here. I figured we might wanna tell Robin about this. But...he's not here now. Which is odd. He left a note to Titans East, it said they had something to do with a villain named Slade. But I might be wrong. Anyhow, he'll be back in a couple of weeks." Jinx looked at Kid Flash and sat up. "KF," she whispered. He sat down beside her and placed an arm around her. "I don't think...I just...maybe were really here for nothing. What if...what if this is just some stupid prank made by some villain we'll later find out about."
"I already thought of that. See, after I set you down here, I left and ran super fast-like always-and went to Paris. I found the Brotherhood of Evil hideout where we left them as frozen statues and..." he drifted off and wiped a smudge of dirt off her cheek. "They weren't there. Jinx...you know, if we took them down once, we can take them down again." Jinx got up and went to the big window. She looked out on the ocean. "Fighting them once was hard enough. Those nightmares I had, it's because it's...it's been awhile since they were taken down, since you asked me to help. I dreamed Gizmo had taken your life, and I hardened with vengeance." She continued to stare at the ocean.
Kid Flash walked up to her and put his hand in hers. "I dreamed Slade and...and Brother Blood were talking, and they talked about revenge. And Brother Blood...he mentioned me. I woke up before I knew why he had mentioned me, " Jinx stopped and fell silent, she let herself wrap in the speedster's strong arms. "That was the dream you woke up screaming about wasn't it?" He asked. "Yes," whispered Jinx. "We need to tell them, so they don't have to go through the last time. Because there may not be anyone to save them."
"How 'bout you tell us why your here."
Jinx and Kid Flash jumped.
Robin, Beast boy, Cyborg, Raven and Starfire were standing in the door way.
"Robin, we need to talk...privately." Kid Flash looked a Jinx. Robin looked back at his team and said, "you guys go unpack. I'll talk with them." Starfire, Raven, Beast boy and Cyborg all left. Silence loomed the room.
"What is it you want to tell me about?" Robin asked. Kid Flash. Kid Flash ran over to Robin and sat down beside him. He motioned to Jinx to do the same. "Look," he said after Jinx sat down. "We know this is crazy-your probably going to yell at us-but we think the Brotherhood of Evil is back." Robin looked at them, no expression on his face.
"I know they're back," he responded. "What? You do?" Kid Flash asked confused. "The tower we were invaded by Slade, Kyd Wykkyd and Brain." Jinx gasped. "Slade...I remember him, he recruited me, Gizmo and mammoth to invade your tower. But the Brain? That's a shocker. Isn't he just some-"

"as Beast boy would say 'Brain in a can', yes. He must have updated his robotics. He hacked into our security system. We barely managed to escape." Jinx looked at Kid Flash. "Where are they? When did they attack?" She asked.
"3 weeks ago. They escaped and we never have found them. They mention you, Jinx. I wanted to tell you, but neither of you seem to answer your communicators." Kid Flash took out his communicator, Jinx took out hers. "They haven't ringing," Jinx said. She opened it and looked at the blank screen. "Jinx is right," Kid Flash agreed. "Maybe Jinx secretly hexed them in her sleep or something." Jinx slapped Kid Flash on the shoulder. "Did not!" She yelled jokingly. "I'll have Cyborg check them out," Robin said. Jinx and Kid Flash got up and Kid Flash wrapped an arm around Jinx. "We better go. Who knows what might happen."
"Not like we'll find everything broken."

Keystone City, Teen Titans Hideout Night time

"No! No! Stop! No! Please!" Jinx tossed and turned in her bed. She felt Kid Flash place a hand on the inside of her knees and on her upper back. He lifted her up and Jinx felt he was carrying her. "It's okay Jinx," Jinx heard him whisper. "It's just a nightmare." Jinx slammed her eyes opened and sat up. "What are you-oh." She nudged herself back into his strong arms and silently said, "it was nightmares again wasn't it?"
She knew the answer before he said it.
"Yes."
"I just want to take the Brotherhood of Evil down, again. For the last time," Jinx growled
"We all do. But the Brotherhood is hard to find. Their members have disbanded," Kid Flash replied.
"Just promise me you won't do anything to stupid," Jinx said silently.
"Al-hey! What is that suppose to mean!"
"That you do stupid things," Jinx joked.
"Like what?"
"Burning toast, trying to get me to go see some cheesy movie, pranking me on April's Fool, hiding from me on Friday the Thrithteen-"
"I was trying to keep myself safe," Kid Flash responded jokingly
Jinx smiled and laid her head on his shoulder. "You also pulled a prank on the mayor, you hid the cops uniform's"
"did not!"
"And you also did the most stupidest thing of all, letting me watch."
"So you were spying."
"You didn't say I couldn't."
"Point taken."
Jinx felt her eyes grow heavy. "Night," she whispered and fell asleep.
