Sully approached the Wrecking Crew's base very, very carefully. He had been welcome among them for a little while before Jynx became a Loco with him. Things were different now, he's be lucky if she didn't take him prisoner or stumble into a booby-trap. Lincoln High school was exactly as he remembered it from the last time he was here. Desolate, creepy and seemingly abandoned. Sully knew better than to just waltz in the front door. He snuck around the back of the building and went to the room that he once shared with Jynx. The window was open and no one was in the room. He carefully crept in through the window and someone immediately seized him by the throat and pinned him to a wall.
"Hello, love of my life." said Sully. Jynx tightened her hand around his throat and got in his face.
"What are you doing here?" she snarled, eyes flashing. Sully always had loved her eyes. They captivated him. While Ebony's were light brown, Jynx's were greenish hazel mixed with grey if you looked hard enough.
"I'm looking for you," he replied "Got a job offer for you."
"And why would I do anything for Zoot?" snapped Jynx. Sully began to laugh and she shook him.
"Because Zoot has a plan for you that will make you a Loco forever," Sully smirked "You do want that don't you?"
Jynx released him after a moment.
"All right, babe," said Jynx "Let's go see my cousin and see what Zoot wants."
Ebony was in the presidential suite trying to take a nap when Lithium came into the room. She sat on the bed by Ebony.
"You probably want to go see what's going on in Sully's office." Said Lithium.
"Oh no, he didn't." Ebony grumbled and put a pillow over her head. Lithium grabbed the pillow and Pulled Ebony up into a sitting position.
"Oh yes they did and you better get in there and put her in her place." Said Lithium. Ebony was exhausted but she dragged herself from bed anyways. She and Lithium passed Zane posted in the hall and Lithium shared a quick kiss with him. Zane had been instructed to keep everyone out of the war room but opened the door for them.
"Zane, what did I just say?" yelled Zoot from inside. He immediately shut his mouth when his bride entered.
"Babe, you need to rest," said Zoot "I have everything under control."
The scene in Sully's office was quite disturbing. The little terror that was her cousin, Jynx was sitting on Sully's table while Kisenian braided her hair.
"Well hello again little cousin." Ebony said coldly.
"Hi, Ebony." Replied Jynx. Zoot had threatened her to not anger Ebony or she'd have him to deal with.
"I think the boys should clear out and let Kisenian and I do our work." Said Ebony.
"Now listen here, Ebony," Zoot grabbed her wrist "Just because you're pregnant it doesn't mean you get to call all the shots."
A hush settled over the room. No one had told Jynx that Ebony was pregnant. Just that Zoot wanted to leave the city with her. Jynx began to cackle like the evil witch she was.
"I've got you by the balls now, don't I?" there was a happy lilt to her voice. Families are usually happy when there's a pregnancy between husband and wife but Jynx just saw it as a power play. Ebony wasn't having any of Jynx's power lust messing with Zoot's plan. Blood ties can be severed more easily than most think.
"I think the guys need to leave to room and let us girls have a chat." Said Kisenian. Zoot and Sully exchanged looks and left Jynx alone with Ebony and Zoot's sisters. The moment the door was closed Kisenian grabbed Jynx's throat and slammed her into a wall.
"Careful, don't damage my stunt double." Ebony said sarcastically. Kisenian shoved her to the floor and Ebony put the heel of her stiletto boot on Jynx's vocal chord. She applied the tiniest bit of pressure so Jynx would get the message.
"Now listen hear you traitorous little backstabber," Ebony said calmly "If I think even for a second that you're going to betray us I'll waste you myself. Got it?"
She lifted up her boot and let it hover over Jynx's eye socket for emphasis.
"Whatever you say, Ebony," said Jynx in a pleading tone "I'll do anything you want."
"Now that's much better." Said Kisenian. Lithium had been watching the entire thing and helped Jynx off the ground.
"Now shut up and sit down." Said Lithium. The three women went to work braiding Jynx's long hair and giving her a new makeup style. By the time they were done She and Ebony looked quite similar. They changed the makeup on her face just a bit. Kisenian painted a bright red flame on her forehead to distract from her eye color and manipulated the bandit's mask paint into a more Egyptian styled shape. Her lips were the usual cherry red. The Locos not in the inner circle would think Ebony had just changed her style for the millionth time. The three of them stood back and looked her from head to toe.
"Something's missing." Said Kisenian. Ebony touched Zoot's pendant, the symbol of their marriage.
"She can have if after Zoot's 'death'" said Ebony "Now bring them in here and show them what they've done."
When the men were brought back into the room they were speechless. Sully turned on his heel and left. He would never agree with leaving Jynx as the figurehead leader of the Locos. He only stayed and helped out of loyalty to Zoot. He also wanted to leave the city and be with Zoot and Ebony when the baby was born. He was curious about the child and wondered whom it would grow up to be.
That evening, Kisenian and Lithium took the faux Ebony out on a patrol in the squad car. Zoot had taken to spending his nights with Ebony rather than raiding. As they lay in bed after making love, Ebony suddenly sat up as if she'd just realized something.
"You have a plan for Jynx, don't you?" Ebony asked hopefully. Zoot grinned and rolled her over so she was pinned.
"You know me so well my love." Said Zoot. Ebony looked at him expectantly.
"Well?" she said. Zoot grinned.
"After we leave the city, Jynx is going to get a nasty surprise from Lithium." Zoot said casually. Ebony kissed him passionately.
"Oh babe, you're such a backstabber." She laughed.
With that, the topic of Jynx was moved to the back of her mind. Other thoughts replaced them as Zoot kissed his way down her chest and stomach.
