TaintedFlare: denial Jinx...denial, anyways, about that Mammoth thing, I always thought that
he could really really dense at sometimes but I feel that he'd make up for his lapses because I think he'd be like glue that keeps Jinx and Gizmo together, or maybe he has people-smarts, just stating an opinion though :P
Lol mammoth with people-smarts? :P I can see the bit about him kinda being the glue that keeps the team together though.
Star Melody: I think you're doing fine on mammoth. I laughed when he told Gizmo to eat
something, I don't know why but it was kind of funny. Anyway, love the Jinx
crush thing. It's really cute. I liked seeing the H.I.V.E. perspective and I
can't wait to read more so update soon pretty please!
Ahhh thankyou : ) I actually watched the episode with Kid Flash in it as I was writing so I could get a better feel to how Jinx would act – she's one of my favourite characters.
Spikesagitta: Jinx is a sorceress in the original comic where she appear i think, but the comic version of her has nothing to do with her animated cartoon version. In the comic she cast spells, but in the animated cartoon her power were turned into a meta power.
You could always write Mammoth as a big lumbering version of BB, this is fanfics, you don't have to be 100% accurate...just enough that the fans won't kill, maim and burn you :P
In the comics Jinx also is bold, bare-foot and looks slightly Egyptian. She works with curses (?) more than other forms of magic and she's powerless without a connection to the Earth, or that's what I've picked up from the issues I've read with her in. I could also never imagine that Jinx getting with the comic Raven! Aha! (Actually Mammoth is kinda the only one who looks like his comic counterpart in the Hive Five) Since I watch the animation and read the comics, it just kinda slipped out – they rarely mention that Jinx is a meta-human, so sorceress just stays fixed in my mind xD
And yes, I might try that out with Mammoth, though I like the challenges of getting things exactly right. I am here, ultimately, to improve my writing. Since I'm only 17, instead of this being just a hobby, I'm hoping one day it can become more of a career : )not convincing with the so un-original story line, but this is just my 'time-to-have-some-fun story. Honest :')
The alarm sounded just as the titans had settled down to eat. None of them were pleased to have their meal interrupted, but Cyborg was the most put out. And he was mumbling the whole way as they moved to the crime-scanner.
"It's the Hive Five again." Robin announced as he locked on to their location. "They're at the bank."
"They are so dead!" Cyborg decided. "No one interrupt Cy while he's eating!"
Robin looked back at the team's empath. "Maybe you should sit this one out. At least until the stitches are removed."
"No." Raven left no room for an argument, her tone immensely scary even though she hadn't raised her voice at all. She was going to find Jinx, and beat her to a pulp. Or question her; she decided that it would just be dependent on how angry she was still feeling when she reached the bank.
They all knew Raven hated sitting out of fights, but Robin picked up a flicker of anger through the bond they had shared since she'd entered his mind when he was having those dilutions of Slade. It was only the tiniest bit of emotion, but he instantly knew it wasn't because he'd suggested she sit this one out. It was something more than that. Saving the questions for later, knowing they didn't have the time, he nodded, and they made their way towards the T-car.
"Stop messing around!" Jinx scorned Gizmo as she watched him throw the money around that was coming out of the indoor cash-machine wired to his systems. "The Titans will be here any minute."
"You said so you're self, the witch's injured." Mammoth picked up one of the sacks full of gold from the vaults. "They're gonna be easy."
"Just because she's injured doesn't mean she won't show up!"
"Pffft! I got it covered; I wired the front door with an electrical field. They step through it, they're gonna be crispy-fried crud-munchers."
"This thing?"
"Whhaaa!" Gizmo spun round at the sound of Cyborg's voice, finding him standing with the rest of his team-mates by the door, holding two little pieces of metal not all that different from watch batteries. "How did you-"
"My sensors picked up the dangerous currents, and then it was a simple job to find the source and disconnect them."
"No fair, tin man! I spent weeks working on them!"
"This is getting a little old isn't it?" Robin asked, talking about the fight he knew was inevitable.
"You're the ones who are getting a little old." Jinx replied, eyes flickering to Raven. "Hive Five; get 'em!"
Mammoth dropped the sacks he'd been holding and charged at the group, head first. Cyborg met the challenge, and the two grappled and pushed, trying to over-power each other. Jinx, not interested in Raven this time, went for the green changeling. He was always amusing to fight. Noticing the attention, he morphed into a bull and charged at the pink girl, who deftly avoided him with a fancy somersault. He hated gymnasts. Robin charged at Gizmo, throwing freezing disks and the small boy. Raven hung back until she was needed. As the on-scene medic, it was her job to watch out for any injuries the team gained that could ruin their chances at capturing the villains. In other words, if someone looked like they had gained a life-threatening injury, and fighting against super villains that included broken bones or dislocated joints, it was her time to act.
Of course she had been planning on beating Jinx up. And maybe getting some answers, but unless Beast Boy changed his attention to one of the other villains – which wasn't likely to happen even if Raven joined the fight – she was stuck. She watched Starfire join Cyborg, and decided Robin looked like he could use some help. She rarely fought Gizmo, and she needed the distraction.
This time I have an excuse for the short chapter – I'm going out in an hour, and I need to get ready. The fight will continue next chapter! Thanks for all the reviews so far; it would be great if you could keep them coming ;)
