'Damn him!' I walk back and forth a couple of times, trying to think something that can get me out of this place. The door is impossible and I do mean all of the doors that are capable in this room. I already try many of them and all of them need access. I regret not learning any machine mechanic or how to hack them from Gizmo, if I do learn it then breaking out of this place would be very easy.
I was thinking of something hard or strong enough to break the power system, maybe they will malfunction and open the door but If I break the system it will sure turn on the alarm which is again, wasn't a good option. I stop and look at the kitchen. Sure I could just make fire happen in here and I was sure that the door of the emergency will open automatically. how do I know that? well, let's just say that I have once done that. A long time ago when my power still not under my control and let's not remember the bad memories.
Making a fire sure would be a fast way out but dangerous, which is again not a good option. I stop and let out a big sigh as my hope has gone.
I take a sit on the soft cushion again and look at the large screen before grabbing the remote that placed in the table in front of me. I began to change channel after channel then stop when I found the channel about the news or maybe fighting that happen right now in the city. I watch every move they make and some exchange words that are made but can't be heard from the reporter position. I saw in horror that Billy multiply himself more into 30.
6 vs 30.
That is so not fair!
Suddenly there was a scream of a child behind me that made me turn my upper body around quickly. "Who are you?!" my eyes watched the little girl who showed her angry expression at me. I watch the door that opens before closing slowly, she must have come in when I was busy watching the tv. I quickly stand up and lift my hand in front of my chest with my palm on her direction and try to calm her down.
She was looking very mad at me, her eyes and hands are glowing green. I eye her warily as my head began to calculating how to calm her down. Since I was thinking so much, I didn't eye her so much.
"Miss jenny?" she asks as her eyes slowly calm down.
I take a while to think but then a realization hit me as I look at her, 'Why the heck I didn't realize it!?' then raise my eyebrows "Karrie?" she didn't quite change much from her usual clothes, Her hair that fly behind her is still the same jet black hair while her eyes are still green but then the light green on her eyes become more bright again.
She didn't answer me, more like she was pointing her hands more to me "who are you? why are you here? how did you get in here? I know what you are planning. You try to fool me again didn't you?"
wait again?
I say "Please, Karrie, it is me, your teacher. I wouldn't fool you, believe me, this is me." I was thinking of moving closer to her but that would make her more alert to me and I didn't want that to happen.
"Prove it!" she shouts as her eyes light green once again.
I stop and think for a minute about how to show that I really am her teacher and open my mouth to start explaining, "Remember the time we go on a movie with your uncle Wally? I did whisper something in your ear about pranking your uncle while he is asleep on the movie and we left him alone in the theater until the worker guy wakes him up." I couldn't help but giggle.
Karrie considers this a minute before changing her expression as well as her emotion. she seems happy now as she remembers that scene. I agree that was pretty funny at the thought that wally wakes up all alone in the big room, just him and the worker guy that fortunately wake him up. I and Karrie have to wait for him on the outside, he did get angry but Karrie's cute doggy eyes manage to make his anger subside and it seems that anger wasn't really in his blood since he didn't manage to stay mad at me for too long.
"That was fun!" Karrie comments as she giggly on the air.
I smile too "Yeah, that was fun, do you believe me now?"
She nodded and fly toward me, "So whats bring you here Miss Jenny?"
"I was drag here by your uncle, I don't even know and I have another thing to do after this. Could you help me get out of this place?"
She thought about it for a minute before sadly shakes her head and says "I wish I could but there must be a reason that miss was brought here and..." she looks doubtful about the next sentence but still says it "Miss Jenny has known about my secret."
I didn't realize what she means at first and after a second thought I realize my mistake and quickly try to act "Y-Yeah, I was going to ask how did you get your power?" and I fail miserably. I quickly add "Don't worry I won't tell anyone." 'Fuck.' I thought and had to hold myself from kicking at my stupidness.
There was only the sound of the TV. I bit my lips and try to change the conversation "So, you say about I fool you again... What does that mean?" I really that change this awkward atmosphere. I know I should say something else but the word again is somehow bugging me and again... does that mean that Madame Rouge disguises herself as me? or maybe some other villains do it?
"Yesterday, you take me to the theater, then uncle W-KF save me." She explains short. I didn't comment about his name that almost blurts out of her mouth, I actually already know about his identity but it felt safer if I just shut my mouth.
So that woman must have disguise herself as me again, this time as teacher Jenny. Karrie falls for that because of course, she wasn't aware of what that woman capable of. Good thing is that Kid Flash is there and rescue her right away and it did occur to me another question. "How did you know it wasn't me?"
"I didn't. Uncle Kid Flash did. He suddenly grabs me away from her and shouts her to reveal herself."
That only proves something is weird. How the hell did he know that wasn't me? We only spent some hours together and it's only sometimes. The only explanation is that he follows me or maybe saw me and without noticing or while he was on patrol he caught Karrie with me again. He must have thought that there's no way I could teleport that fast. Yeah, that seems like a nice explanation but why do I felt something is not quite right...
"Are Miss Jenny and Uncle Kid Flash dating?"
That caught me off guard. "Wait, What?!" My eyes widen in horror "No, of course not. What with the sudden question?"
She looks sad and disappointed "You guys look very close and I heard that he gave you a bucket of flowers..."
I gape at her "I- Just because he gave me a flower doesn't mean that I and he are together."
"Mother says that if a boy or a guy gave you flower then that means that they have a feeling for the woman, is it not?"
"Depends, I think, by giving flowers is sometimes based on what the flower is. For Example Rose means that you love that woman and you adore her or it could be that it was your favorite flower, well, like I say, it depends." I try to explain to her.
She tilts her head a little to the side and looks at me with pure innocent eyes "Then Uncle Wally shows gratitude to you?"
No, he didn't show the gratitude I think. It was more than simple gratitude "I-I don't quite know about that."
Karrie's face shows that she did not satisfied with my answer, her little mouth starts to open and I brace myself for answering it. I just hope that it didn't turn out to be a rumor at my workplace. Sometimes children have some weird thinking about something and they will start that rumor by asking and then others will start curious and the scene repeated. Before you know it, most of the children will start to ask more and more about your relationships and you can't tell them off because that will makes things worse as they demand it. I didn't dare-
My thought was broken when the door was off of its holder and drop to the floor in a loud thud. I jump at the sudden and look toward the door. There stood 2 people and I know both of them. Well not so well right now as both of them have changed.
Gizmo and Mammoth.
Gizmo right now is a little taller, the effect of his growth. Mammoth is still the same but his eyes have the hardness in them.
"Well, look what we got here." Gizmo snicker as lift the gun and it shoots a web was being thrown at both of us. I manage to dive away from the web while Karrie uses her power as the web slowly burns. I quickly stand up again and move into a fight mode. Mammoth began to run toward Karrie and she was very ready as she shoots every green bolt to him. It hit him a couple of times but didn't manage to make him hurt as if he has some shield.
I quickly dodge another web that almost hit me. I glare at Gizmo as he just snickers at me and grabs another gun and starts shooting at me. I try my hard to dodge every single shoot but because of the lack, I didn't do a very good at dodging some. It hit and scratch my skin and my body began to tired so I did not focus on another one that coming fast my way, it hit my stomach as I flew and hit the wall. I grab the wall and look at the round object that hit my stomach, it was almost like the size of the soccer ball but the object was glowing.
'The Heck?'
I look at Gizmo who was now holding a big canon-thing. I gape at how crazy that sound, I look at Karrie was being captured in Mammoth hand. She struggles a little bit but stops when mammoth tighten his grip on her small body. She holds her scream and uses her eyes to shoot some random things inside this room. I have to duck when the laser comes close to me that I didn't have enough time to dodge another ball that are coming my way and hit my face. Mammoth uses his big hand and hit Karrie behind her neck to make her unconsciously to make her stop using her power.
"Sweet, right in the stomach!" Gizmo shout.
Because of the impact I was rolled back and lay on my stomach. I use my elbow slowly to lift me up but then I back slammed down to the floor by the impact of another ball shot and hit my back. I groan in pain when another and hit my left leg.
"My I miss when I see you loser face be for mercy," I whisper slowly and lift myself up, They both stare at me in shock. "Now, why don't you slowly let go of the girl and I will forgive you guys?" My hand move slowly to my necks and taking the necklace off, the same as the backpack that still hung behind me. I throw the necklace beside the bag, Leaving the bag would be troublesome as I have to retrieve it later but bringing it with me will slow me down.
Gizmo smirk at me "You can't beat me, you stupid-woman."
The TV is slightly broken but the screen still views that the Titans are still fighting even though half of the screen is black, I could see the text below. Waiting for them to finish Billy would be too late and another that is bugging me is that why only Billy, Gizmo, and Mammoth? Where is Kyd and See more? Why the two of them didn't show up? Well, I should think about that later.
Back to Main Problem, Jinx.
Gizmo shoots a couple of times, I quickly send hex in the air as it hits with the ball and blows. I felt weird, I haven't done this for way too long that it felt quite weird when it works in my body but I think I could manage it. My eyes were glowing pink and I think I burn the eye contact in my eyes. It first hurt but then it was gone.
I quickly start to move my body and hit the ball in the air. It blows up in the middle of the air. I focus on Mammoth and make the ceiling above his head start to crumble, I do make sure that Karrie didn't get hit. I hit another ball that are coming my way and once again it blows up in the middle of the air. I heard Gizmo shriek in anger as I blow another one. Seems that my aim was still good, I couldn't help but smirk.
I threw another hex at him and jump quickly to mammoth, he surprises "Jinx?"
I kick his cheek and then his chin, his hold get loose and I grab the unconscious Karrie out of his reach. I quickly run toward the door, past Gizmo that was trying to hold something to make sure that he didn't fall through the hole on the floor that I made below him.
I purposely step in his hand, he screams "Damn you, Traitor!"
I could fight them both and win it but I also knew that I could lose if I fought against them as they both are different people from the one I use to know. Right now my top priority was to get Karrie out. I'm not running away. I just think that it wouldn't be a fair fight if I versus the two of them and I felt too weird about using my power again. I just afraid that I wouldn't be able to control them and hurt Karrie unconsciously.
I hug Karrie close to me and made a run, even though It's been a while since I was inside this tower, I seem to remember some path that leads to the garage where I was sure the Titans keep their vehicle at. I just hope that they still keep it there.
"Please God..." I pray inside my heart.
