She paced, her eyes darting back and forth between the female sitting in a large, black chair and the monitors she was suppose to be watching.

"Why are you pacing?" the other woman questioned in a voice like silk.

"Because I'm worried," she admitted.

"About your villain allies or the heroes we're holding like caged animals?" the female asked, turning around in her chair.

"Cheshire, don't we deserve better than this villainy crap?" Jinx spoke softly.

"It's all we know," Cheshire pointed out, "Besides, it's how we survive."

"But Jade, it's not about survival anymore," Jinx said.

"Who would take us in? The Titans?" Cheshire inquired, "In case you haven't noticed, we're holding them like prisoners."

"I believe in second chances," Jinx told her.

"Yeah, I do too, but I don't believe in miracles," Cheshire sighed. The dark haired girl sank back into her seat, turning her attention back to the monitors. Jinx let out a sigh before too taking a seat. The two sat in silence before a screen caught Jinx's attention.

"What the hell is going on?" Jinx inquired, gesturing to the screen where a riot of young villains had gathered. Cheshire and Jinx both rushed out of the monitor room to the main room where the villains and captives were. A loud screaming filled her ears as she raced down the many of stairs.

"What's going on?" she yelled as the sight of a rookie villain getting beat up came into view.

"He's a traitor! He's been helping the prisoners!" someone shouted. Jinx gave a quick glance over to where the Titans, including Kid Flash, were pressed against the bars of their cage, trying desperately to help.

"I say we hang him," Gizmo's voice broke through her thoughts. Her attention automatically went to the boy genius, eyes widened in shock.

"That's not what we should do," Jinx said sternly.

"Why not? He's a traitor!" one of the Billies yelled.

"Because we don't kill people," Jinx sneered at him as Billy hid behind another group of Billies.

"You know, you're beginning to sound more and more like a hero," one of the Billies hiding Billy pointed out.

"Did that pit-sniffer Kid Flash convert you?" Gizmo questioned with disgust.

"What? Of course not!" Jinx yelled dubiously.

"Then what? The traitor deserves to die...and you're protecting him," Seemore spoke up. Jinx was silent as the young villains put a rope around the rookie's neck. Screams of protest came from the heroes as Jinx stared helplessly at the scene. The traitor was placed up on a chair, all that needed to be done was to remove the chair and he'd be dead. Jinx glanced over at Kid Flash, who was giving her a pleading look.

"Please," he mouthed. Jinx held his gaze before someone's voice broke her out of her thoughts.

"You should do it Jinx," one of the Billies said as another shoved her closer to the chair.

"Jinx! Jinx! Jinx! Jinx!" the riot of young villains chanted. Jinx took a look above at the Brotherhood's leaders. Madame Rouge stared down at her, waiting for the sorceresses next move.

"Hey! Let him down!" a male yelled as he raced into the room.

"Come on Jinx, don't let Red X stop you!" Gizmo shouted. A group of villains held X back as he yelled at Jinx.

"What have we become?" Jinx questioned quietly, more to herself than anyone else.

"We've become powerful," the Brain spoke up.

"We've become monsters," Red X chimed.

"Quiet traitor!" Gizmo yelled.

"Jinx if you're not going to do it then I'll have to," Seemore told her as he placed a foot on the leg of the chair.

"This is not who we are!" Jinx yelled above everyone else's shouts.

"It is now," Seemore replied, kicking out the chair. Jinx covered her mouth with her hand as she watched the young rookie struggle to breathe. Her eyes fell on Seemore, who had a satisfied smile on his face.

"How could you?" Jinx screamed angrily as she pushed Seemore.

"He's a traitor," Seemore growled.

"He was your ally," Jinx barked back.

"Jinx, I would kill you if I was ordered to!" Seemore snapped. Jinx fell silent as she fiddled with the knife at her waist.

"Then it's a good thing those are your orders," Jinx muttered as she threw the knife and cut down the traitor.

"Jinx, what are you doing?" Mammoth questioned.

"Surviving," she deadpanned before snapping her fingers, breaking the electric lock on the heroes' cell. With everyone distracted, Red X took the moment to break free of the villains.

"You fool!" Madame Rouge screamed as she jumped down to the lower level. Rouge went to smack Jinx, but before she could Jinx's eyes glowed a bright pink as she sent the villainess flying backwards.

"Nobody messes with me," Jinx growled. Jinx threw out her hand, the controls to everything exploding with pink sparks. A blur of red and yellow came rushing towards her, scooping her up. Before she knew it, Jinx stood beside the other Titans, facing the villains in a showdown sort of way.

"Are you with us?" Robin questioned. Jinx glanced at Kid Flash then over to Red X and Cheshire who stood away from the other villains.

"Only if they're with you too," she spoke softly, gesturing to the two.

"Probation, all three of you," Robin sighed as Jinx smiled.

"Then we're with you," Cheshire spoke up. Red X gave a sort of wave gesture at Robin, telling him he didn't really care to talk.

"So are we just gonna stand here or are you gonna do your little 'Titans go!' and proceed to beat the bad guys?" Jinx questioned. Robin glared at the pink haired girl through his mask as the rest of the Titans fought back giggles.

"We don't have all day here, chuckles," Red X complained as Cheshire elbowed him in the ribs.

"Titans go!" The wave of young heroes soon clashed with the wave of villains, the Titans' leader soon becoming lost in the crowd. Jinx stood silently before someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Together?" Kid Flash smiled, an arm already wrapping around her waist to pick her up.

"Like heroes," Jinx grinned back before the room became a blur around her.


"What are you guys doing?" Cheshire questioned as she approached where Red X and Jinx were sitting.

"Talking," Jinx answered as Cheshire sat beside her, her feet dangling off the edge of the tower.

"About?"

"If we're going to back it as heroes," Red X sighed.

"He has a point you know," Cheshire pointed out, "You've had some time to think about becoming a hero, we just did it out of the blue."

"Then why'd you agree to become heroes?"

"Oh come on, we'd do anything for you, that's what friends are for. Besides, we're not leaving you behind," X said as he wrapped an arm around the bad luck witch's shoulders.

"We'll be okay, we're meant to be heroes."

"What makes you say that?"

"Sometimes the bad guys make the best good guys."

A/N: This was written very quickly so there may be more mistakes than normal, I did try to find most of the errors. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. But I had another surgery and I just have not been in the mood to write. Plus, when you're bed bound you don't get much inspiration.
