Jinx sat outside the apartment door, that she had been sharing with Mammoth and Gizmo, for what seemed like hours. She kept replaying that single kiss over and over in her mind's eye. She felt the spark again and again, willing the memory to stay.

' I'm so sick,'she thouht to herself smiling.

She was snapped out of her daydream by a crash coming from behind the door.

" Man! Were's all the food. Fud crucking...," Gizmo said angrily.

Jinx sighed and got up, turning the nob to open the door. " What the hell is your problem now Giz?" she said slightly annoyed.

Gizmo turned away from the fridge that he had been shuffling through and said, " We have no food!"

Jinx sighed trying to calm herself before saying, " Well then why don't you get your ass to the store and buy something."

Gizmo picked up the remote to his backpack, pressed a button and was raised up to Jinx's eye level on mechanical legs. " We don' have any fucking money thank you, Princess. Any other bright ideas, crud muncher?"

Jinx glared at the boy genius for a second before walking away and into her room, slamming the door behind her.

' Yeah, Jinx, got any bright ideas?'she thought as she stripped down to get in the shower. The only thing she could think of at the moment was that goth girl that had caught her full attention with a few short hours at the clud, in a bathroom stall and a tiny kiss.


Raven woke up in her own bed, but with a gaint headache pounding inside her skull.

' Uhhhh,' she thought as she say the light pouring in through her window. ' Someone has been in my room,' she thought angrily, noticing that the blinds were pulled up from their usual spot.

Raven slowly got out of bed and slipped out of the clothes she had worn to go to the club last night. The clothes she had worn for Robin. She remembered that part of last night perfectly, but her memory got fuzzy after that. She knew she had gone to the bar and started drinking, but after that nothing. After a few minutes of trying, unsuccessfully, to remember what happened after the bar she gave up and went back to thinking about Robin. He was acting so weird last night, he usually didn't go anywhere without her or let her go anywhere without him, but last night he had just stayed on the dance floor. It was so weird. He usually also avoided all other girls at all cost, but again he was out of character dancing with all those girls. He was usually sweet and caring, but he seemed removed last night. As if he was forcing himself to touch her.

Raven shook off the thoughts of him not liking her anymore and thought, ' He must have just been having a bad night last night. Yeah that's it he was just out-of-it.' Of course she didn't really believe that, but it was as good an excuse as any.

Robin was already in his workout area, sweating dripping off every inch of his body, that morning. He was working on his backflips when Raven walked in.

" Hey Rob," she said lightly walking into his path of travel.

Robin stopped flipping and looked at her with a hurt look on his face. " Hey Rae," was all he said before walking around her and started flipping again.

Raven looked at him curiously and said, " Did you have fun last night?"

" Yea I guess," was his muffled reply.

" Oh. Do you want me to leave you alone?" Raven asked, kind of hurt by his answer.

" Yea," he said. " Oh and Rae I think we need to talk," he said looking back at her a serious glint in his eye.

Raven looked at him sadly and said, " Yea we do need to talk. Let's talk now."

Robin was surprised by the rage he heard in Raven's voice. He turned to her with a curious look on his face. " Alright, let's talk now."

Raven took a deep breath, ' What the hell am I going to say to him? I still love him?'.

Robin looked at her expectantly, then deciding to take the first step he said, " Rae I love you, but not like a girlfriend." He watched as Raven's eyes lowered to the ground and he continued. " You are more like an annoying little sister, Rae. What we had these last couple of years has been great. But I've been using you to get to someone else. I'm sorry." He stepped toward Raven and put his hand on her shoulder.

Raven looked up at him, the boy she thought could turn her around from a demon to a normal girl. He had betrayed her.

' Kill him,' Rage screamed in her head. ' Kill that cheating son of a bitch. Please master release me! I'll deal with him!'

Raven shook her head and stepped away from Robin, tears forming in her eyes. " It's all right Robin. I never felt anything besides friendship for you." It was a lie, but in a way it was true, she had known it would never work out between them. For the past two years she had ignored the longing glances he always cast at Starfire, and the jealous glares he gave Beast Boy. " I have feelings for someone else too," she lied again before running out of the room, tears streaming down her face.

Robin watched Raven run out with a feeling of relief. ' That's good that she feels the same,' he thought smiling. He had hoped things wouldn't get awkward between them.

--

Raven ran all the way to her room her face covered by her hands. She had run past the other three Titans but none of them had noticed her quiet sobbing. When she reached her room she threw herself on her soft bed and curled up in a ball of emotions.

' I told you he didn't like us,' Pessimism stated knowingly.

' But we loved him,' Sadness chimed.

' He doesn't care about us. He never did,' Rage said angrily.

' Yes he did. He just changed and so did we,' Optimism argued.

Raven wrapped her arms around her head trying to calm herself and silence the sudden wave of her emotion's thoughts.

' We need someone else. A rebound,' Knowledge stated wisely.

' Yeah! We could use Beast Boy,' Courage said, always wanting a challenge.

' NO!' Raven screamed. ' We do NOT need anyone. We... I, work better alone, without distractions such as boyfriends.' With that said she stopped the stream of tears that had escaped her eyes. Raven was wiping off the remaining tears and their streaks when blaring red alarm went off.

--

Raven was pulling on her cloak as she ran into the living room where the rest of the Titans were already being briefed.

" What's up?" she said hiding the grief that flooded back into her when she saw Robin.

Robin looked up at her then back to the gaint window/tv screen and said, " The HIVE five are robbing a bank in uptown Jump. TITANS GO!"


Jinx grabbed a bag full of money and stuffed it into the backpack she was carrying. Her heart was already racing, not from the adrenaline of the heist, but from the thought that Raven might be coming. The thought made her shudder with glee.

' This is for you my beautiful goth girl,' Jinx thought.

" Come on J. we need to get the hell outta here b'fore the Titans get here," Mammoth yelled outside the safe Jinx was in.

Jinx cast an unhappy look at the giant man, " Cool ur jets Mamm, I got this." She smiled when she was facing away from Mammoth. She didn't want to leave before the Titans got there, and she didn't have to stall long before she heard the familiar taunting of Gizmo.

" Get the fuck outta my way, ya snot nose losers."

Jinx smiled to herself as she heard the even more familiar scream from Boy Wonder, " TITANS GO!"

The wall next to her exploded and she saw Cyborg fly past her into the wall in front of her. She could hear Mammoth's grunts as he fended off Robin and Beast Boys attacks. She suddenly heard a loud cry and came to the conclusion that Gizmo had sprayed his flesh eating liquid on the alien. Jinx had to smile, she had never liked the stupid girl much.

" And what do you think you're doing?" came the heart chilling voice of her very own dark sorceress.

"Just collecting my money, ya know how it is," Jinx said turning around so she could see her beautiful heroine. She was disappointed to see the goth had her hood up to cover her face.

Raven raised an eyebrow underneath her hood and said, " Normal people just use the atm or a teller."

Jinx smiled at the joke Raven had just cracked, " Well we all know I'm not a normal person, and besides the lines were to long and I didn't want to wait." She widened her smile playfully and wiggled her eyebrows.

' What the hell?' Raven thought. ' What's wrong with her?'

Just then Mammoth flew threw the wall and scared both into action. Jinx started to run and Raven grabbed a light post and threw it at her back. Jinx saw this coming and smoothly slid into the splits, dodging under the metal pole which hit Robin as he jumped into the room trying to get to Mammoth.

Raven smirked under her hood. ' He deserved it,' she thought, turning her attention back to Jinx who was running again.

She turned back to help take the other HIVE members when a small thought tugged at her mind.

' Go get her master,' Lust whispered.

Raven stopped mid-stride, ' What?'

' She wants you to go after her,' Lust said patiently.

' I'm not walking into a trap,' Raven thought taking another step towards the Titans.

' Please master you must remember, you must chase Jinx,' Lust said urgently.

' Remember what Lust?' Raven thought, confused.

Suddenly, in a wave, she remembered last night. Falling into Jinx's arms, dancing then getting sick, curling up on the villianess's lap and last of all that sweet kiss. Raven blinked in surprise, and before she knew what she was doing she was running in the opposite direction of the Titans, toward where she had seen Jinx run out.

The chase had begun.
