Chapter Three
"Jinx, DUCK!"
A razor sharp finger swiped the place where Jinx's head had just been. She looked up at Kid Flash, "Thanks," she said gratefully.
"Don't thank me yet," said Kid Flash as he zoomed past, dodging another swipe from the long nails.
Jinx shot pink beans of bad luck at Vampira in quick succession, forcing her back into a wall.
Kid Flash appeared and used his momentum to throw a hot dog stall at the fallen form of Vampira, preventing her from getting up again.
"Now where did you get that?" Asked a smirking Jinx, "Because I know for a fact that there were no hot dog stalls down there," she pointed to the street below them.
Kid Flash shrugged, "So I got one from the other side of town," He said, "Big deal."
"Vermin!"
They looked up, Vampira glared at them. No, thought Kid Flash, not at us, at Jinx.
Vampira pointed at Jinx, "Traitor!" She spat, "You must be destroyed!"
She got no further, because a sonic beam it her full in the stomach and sent her flying into the hot dog stall.
"Dudes!"
The couple looked up in time to see the rest of the Titans come up onto the roof of the Blue Banana.
"What happened?" Asked Robin, going over to see if Vampira was unconscious.
Kid Flash made a non-committal sound and shrugged.
Jinx sighed while smiling secretly to herself. She turned to Robin and explained the fight to him briefly while the other Titans repaired the damage.
They were just getting ready to go and take Vampira to the Tower for interrogation when Robin was suddenly thrown backwards. He landed on his back and pointed at where Vampira had fallen. "She's up!" He yelled.
The Titans went into defensive positions as the figure of Vampira rose from the rubble. She clutched her head and growled.
"Try not to get thrown off balance," Robin whispered, "attack on my word using the strategy we practised, one, two, three, GO!"
Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy ran forward. Raven and Starfire flew overhead and Jinx and Kid Flash circled round to prevent escape.
As Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy ran, Vampira cocked her head and smiled at them. She then crossed her arms across her chest, her right hand gripping her left shoulder and vice versa. There was a sound a bit like when Starfire shot starbolts, but softer and lower pitched. Her head tilted upward and she seemed engulfed in blue-white light. By the time the boys got there the light had dispersed and Vampira was nowhere to be seen.
"What the…" began Cyborg
They heard the sound again and turned around in time to see Vampira appear again in the same position, arms crossed over chest and face tilted upwards.
As they stared in shock, her head snapped forward and she smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Kid Flash was there in an instant, distracting her. Cyborg and the girls shot at her while Robin and Beast Boy came up behind her and began to batter her, Robin with his bo-staff and Beast Boy as a tiger.
Vampira fell to her knees under the onslaught. She tried to get her hands to her shoulders but Robin grabbed them and twisted them behind her back.
The others fell back while Robin pushed her against a wall and got some handcuffs out of his belt. Just as he was about to clip them over Vampira's wrists, she rose one leg and kicked him right in the crotch. The others visibly winced.
Robin's face crumpled in pain and he fell to the floor in foetal position, rolling and moaning.
Vampira turned around and looked for an opening, panic written on her face.
"Get…her…" Gasped Robin from the ground.
Starfire remained behind to look after Robin as the others ran at Vampira.
Kid Flash naturally got there first and knocked the surprised Vampira to the ground. As she looked up his eyes met hers.
HELP! PAIN! HATE! CURSE! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY! TREATY!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kid Flash backed away. He fell to the floor, clutching his head.
As Jinx ran to his side Vampira shook her head as if to clear it and got up. She looked at the remaining Titans and panicked. She ran to the edge of the rooftop and threw herself off, growing her wings as she fell.
Beast Boy readied himself to fly after her but was distracted by a groan from the fallen Kid Flash.
Jinx held his head up and looked at him, a worried expression on her face, "Are you alright?" she asked him. A second later she mentally slapped herself, stupid! She yelled inwardly, you're not meant to give any signs that you like him! Remember? Quick, um, frown at him!
As Kid Flash opened his eyes he saw Jinx's worried face turn into a frown. "Treaty," he muttered.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Robin limping towards them with the rest of the team. He knew Robin would want a full report and sat up slowly, rubbing his head.
He was right. "What happened?" Asked Robin as he walked/limped.
Kid Flash told the team as Raven flew them back to the tower.
Robin turned to Cyborg as they came to rest on the tower roof, "Have you ever heard of an electronic treaty?"
"I'll check the computer when we get in." Said Cyborg, "If it is electronic at least we'll know Vampira is acting for someone else, and not of her own free will."
