I'm a Lover not a Hater: Ahhhh. Sweet taste of two lovers teasing and playing with each other, especially Rae and Jinx.
It's ALWAYS sweeter when it's Rae and Jinx xD (In my opinion anyway)
TehMaskedWarrior: Man... Rae's become an absolute powerhouse... And also very scary... Haha, loved it.
That she has xD But she IS the daughter of Trigon. What do you expect? :P Glad you did!
Stormplains: Entertains to say the least. I love flirty fighting.
Keep writing strong.
Entertaining is good. Ahah I do too.

A/N: Once upon a time, someone decided to do a 30 day challenge. She soon began to regret this. (Seriously, how am I meant to work on my other stuff when I'm meant to be writing THIS shit? Who do you think I am? Kid Flash? Good news, I should have the next chapter for 'Changes' up soon!)

Cyborg and Jinx
Jinx checked the inside of the café through one of the large windows, making sure there weren't any cops inside before she pushed the door open and headed in, fingers pulling at the sleeves of her hoody that was several sizes too big, the bottom hitting her mid-thigh. Wearing faded blue jeans, and scuffed white sneakers, her hair pulled back in a low ponytail, the H.I.V.E leader looked about as normal as she could get.
Picking a small table in the far corner that put her back against a wall, and her eyes on the door, she picked up the small menu and quickly scanned the options. While she actually quite enjoyed her life on the wrong side of the law, she liked to take some time out every now and then, and go around unrecognised. She usually managed to pull it off too. It was amazing how a trademark costume could define a person. Without it, it was usually only the people who'd had a personal run in with the hex caster that recognised her.
Jinx was careful not to directly look at the waitress when she walked over. Her pink hair could easily be passed off as dye. Her eyes weren't so easy to explain with excuses.
"What can I get you?"
"A Mocha, please."
"Anything else?"
Jinx shook her head as she placed the menu back on the table. "Nope."
She watched the waitress walk off, eyes moving to the door as she heard it swing open, shifting in her seat slightly as she studied the man who'd entered the café. He was well build, and she would have passed him off as a body builder if it wasn't for the way he held himself. She slumped down in her seat, trying to make herself invisible as the man scanned the café for somewhere to sit. He was either some serious gangster, or some undercover cop. With her luck, Jinx was willing to bet he was a cop.
Her stomach lurched unhappily, trying to crawl up out of her throat when the man made eye contact with her. So much for spending the day as just another civilian. She tensed up, ready to make a run for it, when the guy smiled at her, holding that grin as he made his way over to the table.
"Mind if I sit down?"
Jinx stared at him with wide eyes, as it suddenly clicked. "Cy?"
"Well, who else is it gonna be?" The titan grinned, taking the seat even though the meta human hadn't answered, before wiggling his fingers at her, showing her his holoring. "Nice to go unnoticed for a bit, ain't it?"
"I had you pinned as some sorta plain-clothes cop! You sure this is regulation? You know, socialising with the bad guys? You aint gonna try and arrest me, are you? Because if you are-"
"Chill girl. We're cool. No, it aint regulation, but so long as I don't see you try an' steal anythin', I aint gonna go all titan on your ass."
"Bird brain's really loosin' his hold on your guys, aint he?" Jinx grinned.
"Huh? One of the others been chattin' to you?"
Jinx paled slightly when she realised her mistake. "What? No. Not exactly. I mean, I bumped into one of you lot the other day an' other than a quick warnin' and a bit of a glare, they left me alone."
"Glare? So it was either Nightwing or Raven. But since you were referring to Nightwing a moment ago…" Cyborg smiled. "Rae's cool, when she's not got some reason to be mad at you. It don't really surprise me she'd just leave you alone."
"Yeah, right." She forced a smile. "So, why you talkin' to me anyway?"
The titan shrugged. "Why not? I mean, after the H.I.V.E an' stuff, I can't exactly hate you guys." Cyborg paused, before adding, "Okay, I still don' like Giz. But you an' Mammoth are cool."
"Uhuh. Sure."
"What? I'm not allowed to want to see how y'all are getting on?"
"If you saw Mammoth out in Jump, mindin' his own business, would you go up an' talk to him?" Jinx asked, a Cheshire cat grin on her face.
"Well… Maybe. Why?"
Jinx leaned back in her chair, about to answer when the waitress came back and placed Jinx's drink down on the table. She looked questioningly at the disguised titan.
"Can I get the all day breakfast with extra bacon an' the pancakes. Oh, a black coffee would be great too, thanks."
The woman took it all down on a small notepad, and nodded. "It'll be about a fifteen minute wait, if that's alright."
"I aint goin' nowhere." Cyborg replied with a smile.
"You know, you're probably lucky you're half metal, considerin' how much you eat." Jinx grinned as the woman walked off.
"So what was with the question?"
"You still talk to Bee?"
"Is that an answer or a subject change?" Cyborg frowned.
The meta human shrugged. "Not sure. Both?"
"I talk to 'er. Go down to Titans East Tower every now an' then."
"So you two aren't an item?"
"Nah. We're just good friends. Why?"
Jinx shrugged again, still smiling. "You know, she never really liked me or the boys. Even when she was bein' a spy an' all that."
"A lot of people don' like you guys." Cyborg laughed. "And are you surprised? I mean, not only are you tagged under the category 'super villains', your team has some serious attitude problem. You included."
"Attitude problem? You see, one or two people seem to like that 'attitude problem'. You know, for a tin man, you weren't a bad dancer." Jinx laughed when Cyborg blushed slightly. "You know, you'd made quite a few friends at the H.I.V.E. Explainin' why you'd suddenly disappeared wasn't easy for Blood. Not only did you totally fuck up his school, you made 'im look pretty damn weak."
"You still at that academy?"
"Nah. After you guys took out that last school, we just stayed away. Gotta say, it's easier when someone else give you the targets, but we got it worked out."
"What about Brother Blood. I mean, he just seemed to disappear not long after he tried to go after me an' titans east."
She took a sip of her drink, before shrugging. "No idea. Apparently you roughed him up pretty good. But after all that mind control shit he pulled, wouldn't surprise me if someone'd gone after 'im. If they caught him while he was still recoverin' from your ass whooping, they might'a managed to finish it."
"You mean…"
"You don't fuck around with a school full of low-life criminals and expect to get away with it."
"An' your just… okay with the idea of that?"
"Cy, the dude fucked with my head. I don't care what happens to 'im, if it aint happened already. Look, it was cool talkin' with you and all that, rather than havin' you throwin me across some jewellery store, but I'm meant to be meetin' someone, an' they aint gonna show up if a titan's hangin' round." She stood up. "See you around, yeah?"
"Wait, this person your meetin'…"
"Not, it's not some kinda evil plan. Or theft. Suppose you could call it a date or whatever. If your communicator goes off today, it ain't gonna be my fault." She grinned. "At least, I ain't plannin' on it bein' my fault."
"Your date a Civi?"
"Not exactly."
"You aint usually this cryptic."
"I ain't tellin' you who it is! You might try an' take 'em in for questioning. Can't be havin' that now, can we?
"You sayin' they have info that could help us?" Cyborg grinned. "Not that we need help kickin' your ass."
"Laugh it up, tin man. Just remember that we kicked you outta your base that time, an' you still ain't even found ours."
"Well how 'bout you build a giant 'H' shaped buildin' to invade, and we'll make it even."
"S'not my fault you guys didn't have the brains to realise makin' your base a city landmark was a bad thing." Jinx grinned as she backed up towards the door. "Oh, an' thanks for grabbing my tab."
"Wait, I never said I'd… pay for you." Cyborg trailed off as he watched the girl skip out of the café, shaking his head slightly as he laughed at himself. "Should'a seen that one comin'."
