Two of a Kind

Chapter Three : A Different Flame

Jean sighed, looking over at Jet from across the living room.

"Your not leaving the house."

She scowled, crossing her arms and sinking farther into her seat, the arms rest caught her shirt through and tugged it up from the back enough to show a fraction of her stomach.

"I'll be fine, if you and Albert are there."

"Alright, but if you start acting feverish we're coming back."

Albert said, looking over at Jet.

"Fine."

The younger girl said, grinning.

"Why did we agree to this?"

Jet asked, glaring over at the silver eyed cyborg.

"Just shut up."

"The lab should be somewhere up there."

Jean cut in, pointing over at the ruins of an old temple.

"I wanna know why we had to come to the desert."

Jet growled, earning a flick to the head from Jean.

"Because that's where the lab is."

Albert sighed, landing the ship near the old ruins.

"We're here."

"Good, you two might wanna either stay outside or look around for a passage."

She smirked, opening the door and waking out into the ruins.

"I'm going inside, you stay."

Albert said, following the female cyborg.

"I'm coming, too!"

Jet yelled.

"Guys!Over here!!"

Jean yelled, poking her head around the corner.

"Coming."

Jean frowned, leaning against the wall while finguring the the small ruby.

"Found it."

She said, kicking off the wall as the two walked over.

"But it won't be yours for long."

"And I found something else."

"What?"

Jean sighed, pointing behind her to Redrum, an acid red haired girl with the same color eyes, she diffenitly hadn't heard of gravity, for if she had, she wouldn't have been floating.Embeded into her forehead was a jewel, two cenameters in length and width, half of it was clear, but looked like a piece of ice, the other half was red, like the Fire Ruby Jean was holding. Without warning, a small beam of light shot toward the three, as it hit the ground that area exploded. Jean's hand slowly curled into fists, though they stayed at her side.The purple shirt was wearing didn't look singed at all, as well as her blue jeans and black boots.Though Jet and Albert were just about as singed as a cyborg could get. Redrum smirked, noticing that the small space around the girl was parted, the flames danced around her. With a small squaeze of the jewel in her palm, the flames surrounded Jean's form in a spiral.

"Look who the cat dragged in."

Jean hissed as the flames went back to their normal form.

"Uh oh."

Redrum whispered, dissappearing.

~*~

"Exactly what happened back there?"

Jet asked, looking back Jean.She hardly looked like Joe now, her hair was more spiked than brushed, her eyes were a firey red instead of the ruby red they had been, and her voice was different, more female, though it was still a bit punkish. The girl just curled up into a tighter ball. The american growled.

"Let her get some sleep."

"She's been sleeping most of the day."

It was then that Jet noticed the, for once, real smile on the girl's lips.

"Fine."

~*~

Janeice growled, looking down at her hand.

"She did it, didn't she?"

"How could you tell?"

Lunar snapped, glaring into mirror.

(_Sorry._)

Lunar jumped, picking up the small black compact.Jean's face immedinly appeared.

(_I couldn't help it, I kept getting looks from certain people on this team._)

"Your staying?"

(_Yeah.Sorry guys._)

"It's fine."

With a small click, the raven haired girl closed the device.

Jean here, what's this about me killing someone?Oh, anyways, the next chapter of Two of a Kind is The True Story.
