Disclaimer: ..... What do you think?
Alright, a couple of questions. Should I give them super powers? I really didn't want to, but then again, I would rather someone tell me if they do or do not. So uhh,.... after this chapter, when you ARE REVIEWING, WHICH YOU ALL WILL, please tell me.
Another question, romance. In the ring there was MINOR romance, and I'm not really into too much of it myself, but I figured I'd put a little RaexBB(Gar) and Star(Kori)xRob(Tim) and the angst of Vic and Jinx, but should I put more? Again WHEN YOU REVIEW, please tell me. I'm gonna put a little of it just because, and I'm gonna stick to the pairings I already have, but well, just give me suggestions, okay?
Ok, this is DEFINITELY an OOC story, and excuse my ignorance but, what's AU?
I keep posting chapters, one right after the other, and I think it's messing things up, but I've been sick for the past few days, and this is my only recreation. Oh well.
Here we go.........-roller coaster mode-

"Vic," her words. Her deep solemn words.
He looked up at her.
"Listen, I got a ....a ..... what would you call it? A 'lead'? No, more of a direction, something that doesn't quite fit." She paused in search for thoughts, "I'm gonna go anyway. He's gonna be here any minute, huh?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Vic, I'm doing this for you. And for her."
Thoughts of Jinx cheating on Vic, filled her with hate, but she tried to calm down.
"Yeah, bye. It should be ending soon."
"Where's Kori?"
"She and Tim left together, a while back."
Silence.
"You were talking to hive kids? Weren't you?" He finally asked her.
"Yea, now give me a call tomorrow. Kori is gonna want to snap you out of this depression." She tried to smile politely, but she couldn't. Too much weird stuff going on. Too un her.
She began to move towards the door. She stared wildly for her black coat and scarf. No such luck.
By the time she found it she realized how out of reach it was.
"Bleh."
She was going through the pile, after it, when a single tap on the shoulder led her back to reality.
"Rae?"
She left without her coat and scarf.
She left with the hood of her poncho on.
She left without saying hello, or even trying to notice him.
She did not want to even look him in the space.
"Damn it, Gar."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Kori, it's fine."
"It is not fine! It is horrible! We have done wrong!"
"We're fine. She's fine. She's dead, damn it! She doesn't car if we go through her stuff."
At the word of 'Damn' Kori shuddered.
"Kori, just, just, ..... stop it's...... we didn't do any.... Just please,... I can't."
"You are making no sense."
"Sorry, but your so sensitive." He stuttered, "I just got to be careful talking to you."
"You must be careful talking to me?! But, why can't you talk to me regularly? Why Tim? I just"
A door in the apartment opened.
Raven.
"What's wrong?" her words.
Kori looked so shaken up. So scared. So scarred.
Tim looked frustrated. So flush. So disgusted.
Something must have happened.
"I am sorry, Tim" she nodded to him and then to Raven, "Raven. I just can't take this, I am going to bed. Good night."
"Sure you don't want some company?" Tim asked. Bad move. She wouldn't talk to him for days after that comment.
She had left for her room.
"Maybe I should go home. See you later, Raven."
"No. What happened?"
He hestitaded.
She watched him like a tiger, or some other animal, a demon perhaps, ready to jump and attack.
She was ticked.
"We, we went to Jinx's old house. That's all. Must of creeped Kori out too much."
"You went to a dead girl's house?! Three days after she died there? Three days" First svreaming then mumbling, then whispering.
"Sorry."
"You SHOULD be."
"It was a goodbye."
"No. Her goodbye was her funeral. How could you drag Kori into doing something like that?"
"It was her idea." He said in defense.
"Whatever."
She went to sit on the couch.
Her couch. Her and Kori's couch. This was there apartment, and he had no right to be there right now.
"It's sort of funny, how she died, that is." His words.
"How is her death funny?" her words.
"Well, we really don't know how she died."
"Fright."
"Of what?"
'Good question.' She thought to herself.
Silence.
"Vic. He wants me to†to find out."
"What? But why?"
"It's my job."
"I thought you were an intern."
"Well, I am. But still." She thought about telling him about the video. About the hive kids. About the fear that ran in her heart.
"Good luck with that." He turned to leave but he couldn't help but turn back to stare at the solemn girl.
"I got something for ya."
"What?"
He handed her the slip of paper. The Jump city photo finisher, return slip.
"What is it?"
"Jinx. She had this in her room."
"I still can't believe you guys went there."
"Hey! This could help."
"How?" she asked sarcastically.
"Listen." He cleared his throat, "Jinx, she had some.... weird stuff in the room. Some really weird stuff. Scared the crap out of Kori. Made me think..."
"What stuff?"
"Magazines, photos, calendars, any type of photo you could think of, with people, ....with their faces scribbled off."
"Weird, indeed."
"Since when did you say 'indeed'?"
"Not the point. Anything else?"
"I didn't want to say it in front of Kori."
"Well she's not here, is she?"
"No, she's not."
Silence.
"Well?"
"Two things. One, I think Jinx was, well double crossing, uhh....."
"Cheating on Vic?"
"Yea. How did you know?"
"Some hive kids told me. His name was Matthew, Matthew Morace. They called him Mammoth, though, because he was supposedly on steroids, for athleticy." She wanted to add that he died the same night as Jinx, according to the hive kids, shot himself. She just didn't have the heart to tell him. He might get too interested.
"MM." He told himself.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Second thing, she had some weird drawings in the binder, behind the photos."
"What of?"
"A ring."
(The well cover closed)
"A ring? Like someone was gonna propose?"
"No. I don't know how to explain it."
(The voice, "You will die...)
"Oh."
"I'm going, now. Again, good luck with it, 'Nancy Drew.'"
"Uh, yea, thanks. Bye."
"Tell Kori, I'm sorry."
Silence.
"And I'll call her tomorrow."
"Sure."
"You keep this." He handed her the photo finisher paper.
"Thanks, I'll get the photo's tomorrow."
"Bye." His words.
He left, leaving Raven alone. Alone with her overwhelming thoughts of what that hive kid had told her earlier.
'They all saw it, George, or Gizmo as we called him, Mammoth, and Jinx. They all saw it, and they died'
(in seven days"...)
