Chapter 12: Deaths, Betrayal, and a Comeback
Jinx's alarm clock woke her from her long night's sleep. She hit it and rose from her bed, stretching her arms over her head. Her mind raced with thoughts of Python and the assignments they had gone through. What came to mind was the destruction of the statue that was BB's lover. While it was just a job, she felt pity deep in her heart. Pity towards Beast Boy for destroying her. Python, however, showed none. He just let the annihilation of the statue be pushed to the back of his mind, a memory that shall, and never will, mean anything to him. She did think, however, he may of felt pity like her. But, he wasn't like that. He never felt any remorse to the people that he killed. He was kind to her, he loved her, but ruthless towards his targets and enemies.
She looked around her room, her eyes then resting on her dresser. She got up and walked over to it, her black nightgown dragging on the floor as she walked over. She opened the top drawer and pulled out what she wanted. It was the black box that Python had given her. She put it on the table next to her and opened the box. Inside it, there rested the Snub-Nose Revolver on the velvet lining. As well as the gun, the six silver bullets were also in a row. She thought to herself that it was fortunate her belongings survived the destruction of the old base and had been moved to the new quarters underneath Blood's mansion. While small and seemingly pointless, she had wanted it to be the one thing to make it through the attack. She picked up the weapon, turning it around in her hands, fingering the metal, and looking at the words that had been written on the handle. She then opened the bullet chamber and loaded in the bullets, one at a time. As soon as she snapped it in, she aimed the gun around, pretending to fire at imaginary targets. A great knock then came at the door. She put the gun on the table and said, "Come in.", as she put on a robe. The door then opened, and Mammoth stood in its frame.
"Hi, Mammoth." She replied. "Don't say hi to me, bitch." He shot back. She looked at him and said," What's your problem." "Problem? Problem you ask," Mammoth began as the door closed behind him," the problem is you." He then grabbed a lamp off of a table and crushed it with one hand, letting the pieces fall to the ground. "Hey!" Jinx yelled as she walked over to him. "I'm sorry, was that Python's? Maybe this is to?" he asked, pointing to a mirror which he shattered with a punch. "Stop it!" Jinx yelled, raising her hand to strike him. He grabbed her hand just as it was up, squeezing it as hard as he could. "Let go! What the hell is your problem?!" "Its you." He said. He then threw her across the room, her body hitting the wall and falling to the ground.
"You had to meet him." Mammoth stated. "What do you mean?" Jinx asked. "Python. You have worshipped the ground he walks on. And what have you done for me and Gizmo and me? Nothing!" he shouted. "I love him," she began," but that doesn't mean it should hurt our…" "I hate it when you say love and him in the same sentence. Interpool should have captured ." "How did you…?" she asked, but suddenly, it all became clear. "Yes. Me and Gizmo ratted him out to Interpool." "Why?" she asked. "We both hated seeing him walking in on you and our group. All of us were together, before that piece of scum showed up." "Python is not like that!" she yelled back at him. "What about the killings he's done. And I know you. You never killed anyone, probably because they have never killed you. You can't live with the killing of someone by your hand or watching it being done by another." "I know he does those things," Jinx said, but I have stand by him in the midst of these things. The sins he has done are ones that I have forgiven."
"All right. Fine," Mammoth said," so kill me. Let's see how tough you are." "Jinx just sat there, turning her head as to not look at him. "Just what I thought. Now, I am going to force the 'love' you feel for him out of you. And I assure you, it wouldn't be pretty." He said as he walked over to her. Just then, a thunderous roar broke the air. Jinx turned to see Mammoth stop, blood dripping from his mouth. He fell to the ground, revealing to Jinx the bloody hole on his back. She then looked back at door to see Python standing there, a Sawn-Off Shotgun in his hands. "Are you okay?" he asked. Walking into the room, not hearing the door close behind him. He saw Jinx's eyes looking behind him, opened in shock. He quickly turned, and their behind him stood Gizmo, supported by his mechanical spider legs. Python swung his shotgun towards him, but it was knocked aside by one of the legs. Another of the legs then knocked Python to the ground, resulting in leaving him in a vulnerable position.
Jinx watched as the Gizmo did this to him. She thought of using her hex powers, but feared that she might create a blast that could harm both of them. She then saw the revolver next to her on the table. She didn't want to, but it was the only way. She then slowly made her way to the table. Meanwhile, Python was rolling around on the ground, trying to avoid the points of the legs that were trying to impale him. He then reached for his pistols, but he was pinned, the legs catching him by his dokers' clutches. He tried to move his arms, but he couldn't as he watched helplessly as two laser cannons extended from his backpack and aimed right at Python. "Say bye bye, you asslicker!" But just then, Python watched as his face suddenly went into shock. Gizmo's then started to fall to the side, blood spilling out from the side of his head. As soon as he hit the ground Python turned to see Jinx on her knees and holding the revolver straight out, the muzzle smocking.
Jinx started to cry as Python got up and went over to her. He got down, put her arms around her, and said," Its okay. Its okay." "I can't believe I did that." She said, her voice filled with sadness and tears streaming down her face. "You had to do it." He replied. "I didn't want to. If I had any other ideas, I would have used them. They were my friends." Python kissed her on the lips and said," Are they your friends if they tried to kill you?" he asked. She didn't answer, but he got up, taking her silence for a yes. "We'll get rid of the bodies and dump them in the river. You okay?" "Yes." She replied as she got up and proceeded to help him.
The next day…
Python was in his room, reloading his Colts when he got a call that Blood wanted to see him in his office. Python reached for his guns, but decided he didn't need them. Blood hadn't given him any trouble in a while, so why would he start? He walked through down the hallway, went up the elevator to the mansion, and made it to the doors of the office. As he went in, he noticed something was up. Jinx was in the room, which was the first part. Next, Blood was in his chair, but was looking calmer then he normally is. Also, there were numerous guards around the room, their hands on their Carbines. "What's going on?" Python asked as the door's closed behind him and he stood next to Jinx. "We have a problem," Blood said," turns out Mammoth and Gizmo are missing." 'And that's our problem how?" he asked. "Well, reports said that some students saw the two enter your room and it sounded as though a fight was going on." Blood replied. "I don't now what you are talking about." "Maybe this will clear your memory." Blood said as he quickly threw something at their feet. Both of them looked in shock to see it as Gizmo, his body reeking of death and the eyes still in their shocked state.
"How did you get that?" Jinx asked. "I had some help." He said. Out of nowhere, a bolt of electricity hit Python, making him cry out in pain and drop to the ground. "What the hell? I feel numb." He said. Just then, Surge walked from a corner of the room. "Surge?" Python asked. "He isn't your ally anymore." Blood said, his eyes flashing red/ Python then saw red flash under Surge's sunglasses. "I have wanted to finish you off since the day I met you," Blood began," but what better way to kill you then have your love do it." Jinx looked in shock at what Blood had said. His eyes then flashed red, but he then quickly leaned back in his chair as though something had punched him back. "What?" he asked himself. Jinx, seeing this as a distraction, quickly reached for her shoe. From it, she pulled out her revolver and aimed it at Blood. "Are you really that stupid?" he asked as the guards aimed their weapons at her. She then pointed the gun at the ceiling and said, "Not that stupid. She fired the gun, which released a bullet that glowed purple with hex powers. As it hit the ceiling, an eruption occurred, causing debris to fall and dust to cover the area. The room was in confusion until the dust settled. Blood then saw that Jinx and Python were gone. "Good riddance." He said.
Meanwhile…
Greg was on his chair, resting after getting high from his usual short of cocaine. Just then, a knock came at the door. He slowly got up, as the knock became more constant. "I'm coming you IRS bastards! I already filled out my taxes." He then opened the door, seeing Jinx holding up a weakened Python. "What happened?" he asked. "You know. Getting betrayed, shocked, and I can't feel my legs." Jinx sat him down in a chair and said, "We need some help. We have to take down Blood." Jinx stated. "You're crazy! That guy is powerful, smart, and has a ton of guards. You're mad!" He then looked over at Python and said," You hooked a good one." "I know." Python replied. "I'll help, but I'm coming. I need a good battle ever since my combat back in 'Nam." "Perfect," Python said," after I get the feeling back in my legs, we'll get some guns, head over to Blood, and kill him." "You're going to need some armor. I got you covered." Greg said. "Good. Tomorrow, its game time." Python said.
