She had no idea when Waller would come for her and take her to where ever it was the Suicide squad quarters were. She wasn't even sure if there was one or if Waller would just grab her for a mission send her off and if she returned which wasn't a for sure, and then drop her back into Cadmus. She had no idea.

After the conversation with Kid that had broken her heart and she hoped that he wasn't completely broken like she was when she ended it for both of them due to her 'mission' in which she was just saving him from getting hurt if she really did die on this mission and he found out later second hand. She loved him; she loved him so much it hurt. It hurt to know that even though he had taken a chance on her she knew he was just going to lose and she was not right for him. He deserved better than her.
Well currently she was going through her schedule of the day like she had been doing for the last week. Right now she was in history with ten other people. It used to be the full class but she had noticed in the last three days the meta- human teenagers were being carted off to another facility by fives.
She had been playing with her pencil staring at the small eraser pieces she could poke and move with the tip when she heard her name and Alice who sat next to her staring out of the window like she usually did with this misty look probably imagining herself beyond out of the high electric fences keeping them in bumped Jinx with her elbow.
Jinx sat up, she usually didn't zone out but she couldn't help it as she thought of Wally. "I'm sorry what did you say Mrs. X?"
The teacher or scholar in this case looked down with a small smile, pushing up her glasses on her nose she looked up at Jinx exposing her one blue eye on the left and one gold eye on the right. "Jinx, if you are going to be staying here then I expect you pay attention."
"How could she when this class is as dull as the stale crackers we get at lunch?"
Jack who had a mop of blond hair and a scruff on his chin said. He leaned back against his chair keeping from falling over by stretching his arm with his elastic powers and holding on to the edge of the table.
"I second that, those things are so dry you could blow on them and they'd blow away." Theodor who was the guy who had attacked Jinx when she first showed up with his super strength and inability to be hurt for very long said backing up his friend. "I hate the food at the cafeteria, it's so gross."
"Guys, shut up." Jason said glaring at the two and they looked over at him and did as he told. He was the king of this place and unlike his girlfriend Clara he didn't need to remind everyone that he was, it was just known among everyone and they never asked why. "Go on Mrs.X." Jason said gesturing with his hand before he crossed it over his chest like it was before.
"Thank you Jason." She said looking at him briefly. "Jinx, I originally asked you if you know the reasoning behind the apocalypse last year?"
The class groaned and Jinx felt her heart beat quicken just a bit. "Uhh.." She began.
Clara who sat next to Jason and to Jinx's dismay next to her rolled her eyes. "Poor thing, she must still be in shock after breaking up with her boyfriend last night." She flicked her blond hair back. "Couldn't say I feel bad for him though."
Something snapped in Jinx, everything about this place made Jinx feel like she was in a box that she was shoved in and almost too big to fit as she strained against the walls in frustration but knowing she shouldn't fight it. "How the hell do you know that?!" Jinx yelled as the map in the front of the room snapped up rolling and the table that she smacked her hand down on the table where cracks when up the stone top.
Clara backed up in shock into Jason as she watched the cracks for half a second and then smiled before looking up at Jinx. "Oh please with the red eyes and depressed look? I knew either you were turning for the full moon or you just broke up with someone. How you did it, I don't know but its true isn't it witch?" Clara said with a triumph smile.
"It's none of your business." Jinx said feeling all the restraint she had held herself back with a snap.
"I'm the Queen of this place, everything is my business." Clara said walking forward.
"Girls stop!" Mrs.X said trying to subdue the fight.
Clara flicked her hand at Mrs.X without looking at her and the necklace around her throat behind the lab coat tugged at her throat and threw her back against the wall. "Ugh so annoying don't you think?"
"I'd say." Jack mumbled behind her.
Jason stood behind Clara not giving any disapproval or anything; in fact he looked at the whole situation with a ravenous glint in his eye so shinny as the top of his smooth head.
"So Witch how did you do it?" Clara said pushing Jinx back who was a bit surprised not to have run into Alice who was known for blocking things out with her daydreaming and would have not even moved from her chair. "How did you message your boyfriend, oops I mean your now EX- boyfriend?"
Jinx gritted her teeth as she felt the stain against her fingers to let the powers out. Everything in her being wanted to eliminate this girl who had grinded on her nerves all week. She clenched her hands together; you could see the glow of pink coming from them by then. "Wouldn't you like to know."
"I would and you're going to tell me." Clara pushed on and Jinx fell back into the wall but after fighting for five years in real and unreal situations she had learn how being back up against a wall with her power could be more helpful then not. "Nobody keeps secrets from me. Especially potential ones that can get me out of this hell hole."
Jinx laughed. "You know if you hadn't been such a bitch to me all week I might actually tell you how to get out of this place, after all I've done it before."
Clara narrowed her eyes as Jinx realized she hadn't known that Jinx was originally from Cadmus, she must have thought she was just some poor Meta-Human captured or made an agreement with the government with her family to be taken. "So that's why dead eyes and you are so chummy huh? What are you then, some freak experiment, because I've heard Donavan use to do that."
Jinx felt the concrete behind her under her palms. "For someone who says she knows all the secrets in this facility sure seems like she knows nothing." Jinx could hear Kid Flash in her voice as he would have said something like that when he was cornered like she was.
Clara's black eyes flared before she thrusted her hand back picking up the metal lamp on the opposite side of the classroom and sending it forward to hit Jinx who was just about to send a pulse of power up through the wall and wait for the unexpected to happen.
Suddenly someone with black hair stood in Jinxes way, one hand grabbing Jinx's hand away from the wall, the other in front of her on Clara's cheek softly. Jinx didn't understand what Alice was doing getting in the way of Jinx's fight when she saw Clara.
The girls eyes were only dots in the middle of her huge dark eyes open and petrified, the lamp fell to the ground where Mrs.X had fell but wasn't there anymore. She stood there as strain filled her whole body like she was forced to not move. Her mouth was part way open as a scream or something alike was caught in her throat.
"Get away from her you frea-" Jason said ready to defend his girlfriend before Alice looked up at him and his words caught in his throat, his eyes dilating the same as he was held there painfully.
Jinx could see the change as both of them whitened sickly before something snapped in their heads and you could see it as the lights in their heads were flipped off and they were suddenly moving again after figments in their imagination. Clara stumbled back against Jason's chest and then over the table and fell as she swatted and screamed at imagined bee's perhaps. Jason struggled as he tried to strangle something he thought was in his hands trying to eat him.
"What did you do?" Jinx said so quietly as fear eased its way into her with a chill and Goosebumps all the way up her arms.
Alice turned around to face Jinx now letting go of her wrist which she had forgotten she had taken to stop her. Alice always looked depressed but in this moment she looked between a little satisfied at taking down the most annoying people in Cadmus and like she had an even heavier weight than the one she carried on her shoulders. "I used my powers. They were asking for it." She shrugged and then placed herself against the wall and slid down it never looking directly at Jinx who silently thanked to no one in particular not wanting to end up like the two dimwits screaming over the way.
"What are you doing?" Jinx said expecting the girl to do something more dynamic then just sitting down as Clara was still screaming and Jason was wrestling something on the floor as Theodor and Jack tried to snap him back to his senses.
"I'm waiting for them to come for me." Alice said with no emotion in her sickening sweet voice as she closed her eyes. There was a slight twitch from her body as if she had jumped at something she had seen behind her eyes like a memory.
"Who, Archer? Mrs. X?" Jinx said before remembering her momentary teacher who had seemed to have disappeared after Clara threw her against a wall.
"Who cares, either way there coming for me and possibly for you. They'll come barging in here with their electric guns, get out all the kids who just had the bad luck of being in here," There was a flicker as Alice looked at Jinx and she was silently referring to the fact that Jinx had caused the fight because of her charm and not just because of Clara and her impulses. "They'll detain Clara and Jason and possibly Theodore and Jack for getting involved by trying to help them. They'll grab me with all unnecessary force and throw my crown on and I'll be forced back into me head again to face my own worst nightmares so I can't fight back which there is no point to it anyways. Then they'll torture me and it will be all over like it always is and I'll go back to my everyday schedule. For you I have no idea what they'll do to you but I promise you it won't be pleasant. Don't let Archer fool you, he hates meta-humans more than anyone here. He finds it amusing when the scientists cut us open and we scream."
Jinx was taken back because Archer seemed like a nice guy, a supportive and well-tempered man. "Isn't he-?"
"No. He's a retired assassin, one of the best but he was taken down by a meta-human with the very own arrows he possesses and he's had it out for us since." Alice said and Jinx suddenly understood that Clara wasn't the one who knew secrets, no she was a gossip but Alice was the real one who knew the secrets of Cadmus. How had Jinx been so stupid not to see it right away?
"Alice, can I ask you something?" Jinx said sitting beside her only friend in this place. Alice shrugged her shoulders still keeping her eyes closed. "You've been here almost as long as I can remember, do you know what the experiment was Donavan was trying to do when I- When I was made?" Jinx said looking at the girl who was unresponsive in till she shook her head.
Jinx's heart fell. It was a long shot anyways. "Well then do you know about the Teen-"
"The Titans DNA was supposedly stolen, I know. That's why you're here isn't it?" The girl looked over but never made direct eye contact with Jinx who felt her heart speed whether it be because of tiny Alice or because she was just compromised. Alice never waited for Jinx to confirm. "You came here for nothing."
"What?" Jinx was now officially taken back by the strange girl. "What do you mean?"
Alice shook her head. "Your boyfriend was right, Waller's playing you. Cadmus never-"
Suddenly the door of the classroom burst open and the guards they had been seeing patrolling as they escorted the teams of kids away for the last couple of days burst through. They had their guns up finding that most of the kids who had the misfortune of being in the room were already gone and captured since there was nowhere to go. It was only Jinx and Alice in the corner on the wall and Clara and Jason who were slowly coming to by the help of Theodore and Jack.
"Get them detained." One man said behind a mask that obscured his voice. Guards rushed forward and Jack and Theodore raise their hands watching the guns. Theodore didn't want to but as the man pushed his gun forward and the loud sharp charging sound came Theodore complied regretfully. Jack looked back and forth like a cornered wild animal before he was grabbed and detained with cuffs he couldn't get out of, even with his stretching ability.
Clara was picked up by the arms of two guards and she kicked away from them screaming profanity and wriggling as she realized what was happening before one of them hit her with a charge of their gun and she convulsed before the charge left her and she was carried away limply.
Jason was dragged out as he was bleeding because he had hit the side of a desk with the side of his head when wrestling the figment of his imagination. They carried him away and the first guard looked over at Jinx and Alice and he grabbed the metal band strapped to his side.
"Project 553 do not resist or we will use force." He said keeping his face down as he walked over carefully like Alice was a wild animal on the verge of attacking when she was the farthest thing from it just sitting there.
Jinx's heart pounded hard as Alice's words were still pounding in her head. "Alice what were you trying to say about Cadmus?" She said quickly darting her head between Alice and the guard and his force behind ready to shoot at any sudden movement towards them.
Alice looked over at Jinx and she swore that she would never forget the look on her face. The innocence of a girl that was forcefully taken from her reflected through her hollow eyes. "Don't ever trust anyone from Cadmus; you'll just get hurt if you do."
Just then the guard reached Alice and grabbed her taking the shiny metal band with the glowing circuits on the inside slid over Alice's head to sit right above her brow and her eyes glazed over and she was no longer there. The band controlled her when nothing else could.
Alice's last words pounded and pounded as her heart did the same. It was so loud that she didn't even hear the guard who had detained Alice was speaking to her and when she didn't respond or correspond he charged his gun and forced it towards her where it shocked her awake with the high pitch sound.
Jinx jumped up and with speed and agility she kicked the gun away from the man with her right foot. Then the charge of the twelve other guns hit her ears and before the blast could hit her she jumped, her hands landing on two different guards' shoulders and she pushed off of them sending them apart and into their fellow guard as she landed on her feet and ran.
What Alice said about Cadmus and the way she had said about the Titans DNA worried Jinx. "The Titans DNA was supposedly stolen." Supposedly? "You came here for nothing." Alice's voice rang in her ears as she dashed through the halls not knowing exactly where she was going. "Waller's playing with you. Cadmus never-"
"Cadmus never stole the Titans DNA." Jinx finished as she felt so stupid. She had been played by Waller and there was no way of telling what Waller, once she got her grubby hands on her, would make her do. "Well then I guess I just can't get caught this time."
Jinx closed her eyes and took a breath as she felt the world slow and she thought about Wally and how this was probably what it was like for him. Everything slowing, everything calm and you were in the middle of the storm where it was nicest.
Her eyes glowed with heat as her pink aura came flooding from her body as she concentrated and then she let go. The whiplash of the energy pulverized everything around her. The concrete hallways exploded away as classrooms near with bar covered windows shattered and paper, desks and everything between went flying. The lights went out before the ceiling cracked and light from the four o'clock sun came streaming in giving the only light despite Jinx's hands that radiated pink fire.
She heard voices as people; guards specifically were reacting to the huge attack Jinx had created. She had never had power that huge before but she didn't waist the miracle as she ran through the hallways finding as she passed through two doors that had been locked but she had blasted open she was in a restricted area. She might as well have been in a maze but every time she heard voice she always seemed to run the right away before they disappeared, just like luck.
She stopped in the dark hall gasping for frightened air. Her hands were clenched as the pink fire radiated from her hands and she could see nothing but a few feet in front of her in the pitch dark. "They're going to find me." She whispered saying what she was thinking.
Hot tears threatened to spill over as her emotions were high. She could hear voices far, far off. She could feel people's energy near somehow coming on to where she was located. "Oh god Alice." Jinx said as her realization that they had Alice before she ran hit her. "I can't leave her." Jinx said finding there was no point determining what she was thinking from saying it out loud. "Not again."
She heard immediate voices from her right. Her eyes darted around and she could see everything around her from just the slight reflection of the glow of her hands. She silently thanked someone above that she had her cat eyes, no matter how strange they were. She bolted for the door she saw in the dark and tried the handle before a spark came from her hand and it clicked open.
She fell inside closing the door quickly and facing it with out held hands and trying to slow down her breathing which was all she could hear for a while there till she heard the clamoring of boots and the light underneath the door as there flashlights flashed forward. Her heart beat hit so hard against her eardrum. A small drop of sweat laced down the side of her face as she stood there shaking, waiting for them to come and find her.
She could remember things Donavan did to her, him personally. His scientists were dedicated to their science no matter how brutal it was to the subject as they studied them in every way but Donavan crossed the fine line of science and insanity with Jinx. The boys had never had the same trauma that she did over the years in Hive because they were exactly what saved them, boys.
Donavan had fun with Alice and Jinx because where the others girls were clones of something such as in Margret's case taking on catlike traits or even Aliens strength he always said that "It is all trivial. There are hundreds like them that can be made like them. But you two are different. Unique in your own way."
She could even remember what he looked like as the terror of being found clicked on all the memories in which had took years to get rid of came flooding to her. Black oily hair that was always sticking in every way, thick goggles covering his eyes always reflecting the fear of his next victim, his thick mustache that could never hid the sadistic smile on his face. He wore a white lab coat in which case Jinx remembered at one time that he had slashed at her with a knife when she was tied to a chair and she had seen her blood, pinkish red splatter over his coat as he laughed at the stain and continued on.
He enjoyed the girls the most because whereas the boys tried not to cry when he did his sickening experiments for just his enjoyment, the girls never held back screams or cries. Alice and Jinx were different in that case too. Alice took on things like this with no emotion and no fighting back and there was never a sound bigger than a groan from her when he swung a knife at her and cut her, even when she was younger. Jinx was too headstrong to let him enjoy her screaming. She remembered this now.
She even remembered the night he called her to his lab in which the guards strapped her down to the chair that had more blood spilt on it then an executioner's block. She had just turned twelve and she was a pretty twelve despite the fact that she was so thin. She had long luscious pink hair that shinned and fell to her chest that was still growing. He had fun forcing her legs open and watching her squirm as he teased to take her innocence.
She heard the boots hit the floor in front of the door and she waited as tears streamed down her hot cheeks in silence as they stood there and voices could be heard before the boots left. The whole army of guards it seemed left in rhythmic patterns as their boots faded away and Jinx sighed whipping away the hot salty tears from her cheeks with shaking hands.
She looked up quickly knowing she needed to do something before the window of opportunity was lost but before she could she caught the glint of her glowing hands hit against something shinny. She turned and she saw the cabinet in front of her, as she raised her hands around she saw rows and rows in the room. She stood in awe as she realized opening one of the cabinets that it had files and files of experiments, Meta-humans in there care, plans and much more.
This was what she was waiting for; this was her lucky break out of the very many unlucky things that happened to her. She went running forward towards the cabinets scanning to find a filing set and to find her number or even name if they filed her by it. She found that they had it in several filing systems. The cabinets on the right were experiments split in half from ones that worked and ones that failed. She found that the ones on the right were the plans they had, and she had found while looking that she knew a special Kryptonian would find very interesting too if she could get out of the horrid place. Lastly she found the ones in the middle, cabinets and cabinets of them all filed by number were the Meta-human experiments they had or had ever had.
She tore through the cabinets in till she found her number and the thick file that belonged only to the highly wanted Lucky Jinx. It was the same one Waller had interrogated her with when she basically made Jinx accept to the joining the Suicide squad. It was still fresh, only put here a few days before. Jinx tore through the thick file finding miles and miles of paperwork that cops from Jump did after she committed a crime. She would have felt bad about creating so much havoc before at that moment when she found it, her original file before it had been updated at the very back.
She grabbed the diagnostics sheet in the front. It had her weight, her strange eye and hair color, her supposed age and other physical things including the powers she possessed and abilities like her extreme flexibility and her above normal way she feels and heals to pain and strength, endurance, and speed. It had been newly improved as Margret's name was written at the bottom to confirm it. She found her old diagnostic sheet too as it was printed on older brittle paper. She found the report that she had gone missing and escaped from Cadmus.
Her fingers fumbled with the papers as she was still trying to find the report that she craved the most. She had to bite down on her toung to keep a little bit of pressure and focus on the task. Then she hit it. The paper that would tell her everything she needed to know. Who she was stolen from when she was born, the parents she never knew. What Donavan had infected her with, whether it was alien or his own concoction? She needed to know. This was the real reason she had agreed to come back.
Suddenly the door opened and Jinx tensed. She heard the heals clicking heavily against the floor as the light hit the back of Jinx and all she could do was stand there next to the open cabinet where her file was resting on, her hands on the only paper she needed to see.
"I thought I would find you here." Waller's voice hit Jinx's ears sending a shiver down her spine.
"You're alone. I can…sense it." Jinx said slowly as she could. This whole time she had this strange feeling of when someone was close even before she could see them turn the corner.
"You're a very observant one aren't you?" Waller said as Jinx slowly moved around. She found the woman holding a gun in her hand but it was used mostly as a precaution. Jinx scencerily doubted the politician in front of her would use the gun on her; she was too prestigious for that.
"Very much so in the dark." Jinx said still holding on to the paper in her hand. "Did you know that cat eyes can see clearly with one sixth the light of a normal human?" It was true even with just the small flicker of Jinx's glowing hands she could see better than a human could with a flashlight such as Waller's. The light from Waller's flashlight was almost blinding in the dark that surrounded them casting off a sharp glow against the floor and reflecting off other surfaces in which only Jinx could see.
"What are you doing? I thought we made an agreement that you would join the suicide squad, do the needed missions to get rid of your past record." Waller said with a stone hard face, no compassion or scencerity behind her voice.
"A friend of mine said that you should never trust anyone in Cadmus, and I have to agree with her. You tricked me. You never had the Titans DNA. You probably never even knew I was here for it in till I told you, and you tricked me when you never said anything about it. It was a good play but I've played in worse games." Jinx said.
Waller raised an eyebrow. "I hardly doubt that."
"I bet you've heard of the name Slade." Jinx waited as she saw Waller's reorganization of the name hit her face. "Did you know that my team and I were the first to work for him. He wanted to show the Titans as well as the world there was another man capable of taking civilization down, and he would do it with hardly anything but his own intellect. He was smart too because my team got screwed over by him, I should have graduated three years ago from Hive instead of two."
The woman's eyes were now raised fully and Jinx had the feeling that not a lot of people got to see the stone cold Amanda Waller shocked. "Did you know that Brother Blood was my mentor? He hated and loved me in the same way. He brought on a whole cyber army along with countless detonators that could have destroyed Jump and countless cities like Steel down. But I bet you didn't know that because the Titans cleaned it up before it ever happened."
Waller stood there holding on to her gun very tightly by this point. "Since I got out of Cadmus when I was twelve I was trained to do bad. I am bad luck, I cause destruction and havoc everywhere I go and for good reason. As I grew up here I never had one kindness, I grew up hard and unforgiving, I laugh at pain from others. I always wondered why I was this way knowing it couldn't just be my upbringing that made me feel this way. I knew there had to be a deeper reason to my feeling of hatred and darkness. And I've found it." Jinx raised the paper she had held to so hard in her hand.
"And you want to know what I've realized." Jinx asked Waller who stood there clenching her teeth glaring at Jinx. "It doesn't matter. I found someone who loves me for me. I found people who are happy to be around me instead of being forced to. And I found a purpose that is more than hurting people and stealing for petty needs. So it doesn't matter what this paper says or any of the files you have on me. I'll repay for the wrongs I've done somehow but I'm not going to join your suicide squad because like the love of my life says, You choose who you are and I realized when I chose him I did choose to be good. He is the Luckiest break I'll ever get."
Jinx turned around and grabbed the whole file and stuck the piece of paper inside of it. "I'm starting over from now on." Then her hands lit on pink fire and the whole file caught as paper does.
"What are you doing?" Waller asked with wide eyes stepping forward before Jinx held a glowing hand out at her. "You can't just destroy-"
"Oh yeah? Watch me." Jinx turned her hand not at the cabinets about the plans but the meta-humans, all the ones who should have never been caught and recruited for Cadmus. Nothing was good about this place. Jinx told Robin that in the beginning of this whole mission and she still stuck to it. Suddenly her power radiated as the last bit of her file burned and she watched it turn to ash with a slight regret before she let go and her power went in waves hitting the cabinets blowing them apart. Papers flew everywhere as metal burst open. She rounded around hitting the cabinets filled with past and present experiments.
She turned and saw the cabinets with the plans for Cadmus. "You wouldn't dare." Waller growled. There was the glint in Jinx's eye that said otherwise right as she rose her radiating hands and then let go.
The cabinets blew open with papers flying everywhere, some on fire like the others floating down right as Jinx heard the cocking of the old style gun and she turned just in time to watch Waller with her clenched teeth, fire rising from her dark brown eyes as her gun pointed at Jinx and she pulled the trigger.
Boom.
