Chapter
Twenty-five
Jinx is back
Nothing surprised Jinx when she came back to the Hive headquarters. She wasn't the least bit surprised when she found that the whole place was covered in wrappers from junk food. Or the fact that the place was in discord. Pillows on the floor instead of the furniture. The boys looked as though they hadn't slept for days. Mammoth still had some food sticking out of his mouth. Jinx looked away not wanting to know what the boys had been eating while she'd been gone.
"Eris would be very impressed with this amount of chaos," muttered Jinx under her breath. "So impressed I bet she'd send more discord in this place."
She opened the fridge to see if there was anything edible. Pizza looked good. She looked behind her to see that the other Hive Five members were waking up. Jinx shook her head. At least they wouldn't ask if Kitten was one of them or not.
Because she wanted to, she took the box that had leftover pizza to her room. Went to her room and started eating pizza. Well, things didn't go according to plan, but at least she got to meet a few guys. But Jinx wasn't pleased with her lifestyle for some reason. She kept looking around wondering what could be wrong with the place. Maybe it was due to the fact that before she joined the Hive that she used to travel a lot by herself.
She met a lot of people that way. Until her superpowers kicked in. She knew that one of her parents had something to do with it. Then the Hive captured her because they wanted to improve and help grow her talent, with Jinx fighting the whole time. Jinx sighed. Her life was still a mystery. She came up with all sorts of stories of what her parents were like. Some of them very happy, while others not on the happy fluffy side of life.
"Well, back to being a villain, again."
Jinx couldn't help but look at her drawing pad. She pulled it out to find some drawings of certain places she'd been at. Some with cutes guys on them. The last one had Wally on it. Could it be possible that she could meet with this guy, give up her life as a villain? And then what? What was she going to do with herself? Jinx sighed. She didn't want to think about the future. Not yet anyways.
"I wonder how Susan is doing?" mumbled Jinx.
She wanted to write a letter to Wally. She wrote a letter anyways, even though she knew she wasn't going to send it. Then she went to bed. She closed her eyes not wanting to think of what she had to do to show that she was around.
Later…
Jinx got up from a restful night's sleep. When she went up the stairs her eyes popped out.
"Holy…" said Jinx, not believing what she saw.
The place was clean. How'd that…oh the boys probably cleaned the place up not wanting me to clean up the mess. The Hive members were cooking. Okay, this is weird, thought Jinx.
"Morning Jinx," said See-more.
"Uh…hey," said Jinx. "What happened to this place? Yesterday the place was something only Eris would've been proud of."
"Who's Eris?" asked Mammoth.
"Is Eris a hot girl?" asked five Billy Numerous at the same time.
"Eris is the goddess of discord," replied Jinx, taking a seat.
The boys looked at her confused.
"Discord means chaos," said Jinx. "So, what's for breakfast?"
Mammoth placed a plate of eggs, bacon, and a cup full of orange juice. Jinx looked at each of them. Who were they? Some replicas that some weirdo decided to make in order to gain her favor?
"Is Kitten going to be joining us?" asked Gizmo.
So that's what this was about. They were just acting angelic so that Jinx would agree to let Kitten join them. Jinx put on a regretful face expression.
"I'm afraid she changed her mind," said Jinx. "But she wanted me to tell you guys that you were…hospitable."
"You're lying!" shouted Gizmo.
"So, you guys lie all the time," said Jinx.
"But girls aren't suppose to lie!" snapped Gizmo.
"Right, only the hot girls are allowed to do that," snapped Jinx.
"What really happened?" asked the other boys.
"Okay, Kitten and Fang got caught by the cruddy Titans," said Jinx. "And it was because Kitten just had to steal some cell phones."
The boys looked disappointed. They just ate breakfast. Gizmo pulled out some paper and slammed them in front of Jinx.
"What's this?" asked Jinx, knowing full well what it was.
"It's a petition that demands that you reside as leader," said Gizmo smugly.
"Been reading out of the dictionary?" remarked Jinx, reading the paper.
Gizmo's face turned red. If people would've looked hard enough they would've seen smoke come out of his ears.
"So, who's going to be leader then?" asked Jinx.
The boys looked at each other. They then started arguing over who should be the leader. Jinx sighed.
"Until you guys can agree on who's going to be leader, I'll remain leader until further notice."
That was really stupid, thought Jinx. You've waited months for this to happen and here you still want to be leader over this useless group. Jinx shook her head.
"Guys, how about we steal from a bank?" asked Jinx.
Kid Flash…
He just couldn't believe his eyes. Jinx was back in Jump City and causing trouble. What is it with villain girls? In one area they wouldn't cause any trouble while in others the case was the opposite. And how'd she get there so fast? Wouldn't have anyone noticed a pick haired girl walking around in public? He shrugged.
He recorded the tape, rewinding the tape. He was watching the movie looking at the hole that just exploded on one of the walls and out pops Jinx. He couldn't get it? Brad told him that there were times when Jinx was at her wit's end with the Hive. Why'd she return to them? The rest of the Hive came out.
Kid Flash pressed the pause button to freeze the tape. Did he just see Jinx grimace? Maybe she wasn't happy with her situation the least bit. Most people would say it was wishful thinking. Then another tape came up. Beast Boy made a deal with Kid Flash that he would send copies of tapes that the Hive were in.
He played the tape. He jumped at seeing Jinx defend a mother and child from a truck that would've ran into them.
"I knew it!" shouted Kid Flash. "I knew there was something different about her."
Jinx…
She kept rubbing her forehead.
"You stupid Bi…" Gizmo started to say until Jinx glared at him.
"What were you going to call me?" asked Jinx coldly.
Gizmo looked away. Mammoth walked over to Jinx.
"If the Hive Academy hears that you rescued some people they'll…"
"I faxed them telling them my reason for "rescuing" those nobodies," said Jinx. "If you're going to be able to rule the world the least you can do is treat the people you conquer nicely. They won't have any reason to…"
"Aw, who cares how people should be treated," said Billy Numerous.
Jinx sighed, "They're not going to be paying any visit guys. It was…I don't know something triggered some memory or something."
Of course her words fell on deaf ears. Jinx sighed. Back to the villainous life, thought Jinx, I wonder when I'll ever have another dating bets… She shook her head telling herself that life wasn't about being competitive and dating guys. But she still wanted to do something that didn't remind her how she was forced to choose this lifestyle. She shrugged. Eventually she would find a place where she can disappear and never be disturbed again.
