Chapter three

Meeting Kitten

Jinx knew right off the bat that Kitten was a spoiled, rotten brat. Kitten brought her boyfriend, Fang, who was mostly creepy looking. Jinx couldn't understand how Kitten could like someone who looked like someone with a spider head that had giant legs attached to it. Fang made it clear that he didn't want anyone near his girl. Jinx got out some gum and started chewing on them.

"So," said Kitten sweetly. "Who's the leader?"

Everyone pointed at Jinx. Jinx knew that Kitten didn't like her. It was written on her face. Of course the other boys missed the look that Kitten had. Jinx looked at her.

"You're ten minutes late," said Jinx coolly.

"We had some problems with the Titans," replied Fang.

Jinx nodded. Of course, whenever one of the Titan members saw Fang that usually meant there was going to be trouble ahead. Jinx stretched her arms.

"Are one of you joining or the both of you?" said Jinx, trying to seem bored.

"The both of us," replied Kitten. "I don't go anywhere without my boyfriend."

"That's not hard to believe," said Jinx sarcastically.

In girl language Jinx was pointing out to Kitten about her going out with Robin for her prom dance. Kitten glared at her. Fang like other boys missed what had just happened between the girls but he knew that Kitten was getting upset about something. He just didn't know what cause it.

"What about you?" asked Kitten. "I don't see you with a boyfriend."

Jinx shrugged.

"I don't really care a lot about boys," said Jinx.

"What about Stone? Oh I'm sorry I mean Cyborg," said Kitten sweetly.

Some of the boys picked up the girls were having a fight with each other. The Hive Five members dove behind a sofa. They expected Jinx to blow up. Instead Jinx just shrugged.

"So, how'd you hear about this news…about wanting new members?" asked Jinx.

Some of the boys were whispering, wondering if the duel was over between the two girls.

"Oh daddy told me about it."

"The mighty Killer Moth himself?" asked Jinx lifting one of her eyebrows.

"Yes," replied Kitten, through clenched teeth.

"Hmm," said Jinx pretending to be interested. "You can join us but you two will have to do your fair share of work."

"Daddy didn't say anything about working," snapped Kitten.

"You're not going to go cry to your daddy are you?" said Jinx, knowing how Kitten was going to react.

Kitten glared at Jinx. All the boys were holding their breath expecting the worst to come. Everyone was waiting for Kitten to make a response to Jinx's stinging remark.

"No, I'm not going home," said Kitten firmly.

"Bravo," said Jinx clapping her hands. "We've had other girls join in this group and they've dropped out. A real disappointment if you ask me."

"Glad to see that everything is fine with you, Jinx," said Fang, covering Kitten's mouth so his girlfriend didn't say anything insulting.

Jinx waved her hand around the room.

"There's plenty of room. Pick any room you want. Except the ones that have been picked," said Jinx. "Nice doing business with you."

Fang and Kitten went to the hallways looking for a room they wanted. Jinx then left wondering what they were really up to. She took a short cut to where she knew Fang and Kitten would be talking. Jinx found out that they weren't really interested in joining. Fang and Kitten were actually planning on stealing from the Hive Five. Having heard that the guys weren't at all good at keeping their loot.

That didn't surprise Jinx. But it did annoy her. The boys could lose all their stuff for all she cared. Jinx went to her room and put in a new password so no one could get in. Then she went back upstairs. She wanted to keep the two imposters busy. And manage to send them to jail without giving away that she was the one who turned them in.

Jinx smiled. Teachers have always told important criminals that Jinx would sometimes come up with complex ideas. Nowadays people thought she was just plain crazy. Always wanting bigger things. Jinx didn't want Kitten or her boyfriend for teammates in the first place. She thought of several ways in turning them in to the police without giving herself away. But how was this going to happen? That's what Jinx wondered. The first thing that Jinx needed to do was find a weakness that the two had and use their weaknesses against them.

Jinx turned on the radio listening to some music. The other members of the Hive Five were doing their own thing. Either playing video games, making things, sleeping, or eating. Jinx had the volume low so she could hear what was going on around her. Kitten and Fang came into the main room. Talking to each other in whispers. Jinx was a bit disappointed when she didn't hear them say any insults about the Hive Five. Jinx knew that they were smart. But even smart people can be tricked into doing stupid things.

For the rest of the day the girls tolerated each other. Fang tried hanging around the other boys, but found them aggravating. Fang then went to where the girls were. He mostly suck-faced (slang for kiss, kissed or kissing) his girlfriend. Jinx tried very hard not to shiver. It was really gross seeing those two kiss. She ignored them mostly.

She went to her room. She looked over at her shoulder to see that Fang was behind her. Jinx crossed her arms.

"Can I help you?" asked Jinx.

Fang left muttering that he got lost. Jinx tried very hard not to mutter under her breath. Fang was a freak. Then again most superheroes and super-villains were freaks. Jinx pressed in the old password. She had the system take it only once. She then went in knowing that Fang was going to tell Kitten the old password to her room. For now things were good, but Jinx had to move all her valuables. It would be awhile before she was able to get those two thrown out without seeming jealous.
