Chapter Five
"Jinx, are you serious about this?" I asked her, a tinge of nervousness in my voice.
"I have never been more serious in my life." she replied, confidently.
I stood up and walked to the table, resting my weight on it. This was all too much for me! First I save a former villain's life, then she reveals she's bisexual, and now she tells me she has a crush on me! It was enough to drive most anyone insane.
"Jinx, why is it just now you tell me your feelings for me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" she replied. "Fate brought us together. I happen to attempt suicide on the night you take a walk. So, I think we were meant to be."
"Is that your only reason?"
"Well, we share things in common."
"We only now shared our interests with each other."
"Don't you believe in love at first sight?"
"Actually, no. Well, not really. And definitely not with someone of the same sex!"
Jinx hung her head in shame and started to cry.
"What's wrong now?" I asked, though I should've guessed it.
She glared at me, tears flowing freely. "All this time, I've only been able to let loose my feelings for guys, okay? I fell for Cyborg when he was "Stone", and then for Kid Flash when he...well, 'saved' me from the HIVE. But neither relationship would've worked."
"Have you tried other guys?"
"A few. Mostly goth types."
"I know one like that."
"I bet. Anyway, I still felt like I was living a lie, that I wasn't letting all of my feelings out. And now, I have the chance!"
"But why me?"
She sighed. "Because you saved my life. And..."
"And what?"
"You're the only women I've dreamed of being with."
My heart went to my throat as my face burned with humiliation. It wasn't every day you found yourself admired by someone of the same sex. Believe me, it wasn't a pleasant experience!
"It's just a dream, Jinx!" I told her. "Besides, it can't work between us! I'm straight! I'm straight as they come! I can't have feelings for you no more than Beast Boy can understand a Stanley Kubrick movie!"
"That's undermining him a bit, isn't it?"
"That's not the point! The point is, we just can't work out!"
Jinx spent a minute or so taking this in. Then, she grabbed her tea cup and flung it against a wall, shattering it!
"Damn it!" she yelled.
"Jinx, I'm sorry..." I began.
"Not your fault!" she said, angrily, her teeth grinding. "It's these fucking feelings of mine! I make myself look like a fucking idiot! Damn it all to hell!"
She kicked and screamed and tore at the sofa, flinging the cushions every which way. She then pounded her fists on the walls, making a rain of dust fall. I knew I had to end this!
I put up an energy shield around her, so she couldn't hurt herself or anything else. When she calmed down, I dissolved the shield. She stared at me with a weary expression, one of total despair.
Staring at her in this manner gave an inspiration to me. It was a mad one, but perhaps it could help Jinx.
'Do you really want to do this?' I thought to myself. 'Do you want to risk this?'
I already knew my answer, despite my better judgment.
"Jinx." I said. "What if you let out your feelings, just for tonight?"
Her expression brightened. "What do you mean?"
"What if I just be with you this one night? Will that help you?"
She seemed to consider the situation. Then, she smiled. "I think it will!"
I smiled back, though I already had regrets forming in the back of my mind.
"You can kiss me if you want." I said, nervously.
In a flash, Jinx embraced me, and started kissing me passionately all over my face, but mostly on my lips. She occasionally bit them, but not too hard. I also noticed she was working me back towards her bed.
'Now you're in for it.' I thought. The last thing I needed was to be raped by a bisexual villain. Or former villain, if Jinx was telling me the truth.
Jinx stopped where she was, and then unclasped my cloak. She tossed it aside.
"What are you doing?" I asked, fear in my voice.
She merely shushed me and also undid my belt. Then, she pushed me onto the bed and took off my boots.
Jinx then sat on the bed and took off her boots as well. She then took out the bands that held her hair in place; it fell back, and she flicked it to either side.
Her hair was as long as mine was, if not longer, when I was aged rapidly. Its color gave an impression of a mass of cotton candy. I expected her hair to actually smell like the sugary substance.
She then jumped on the bed with me, pinning me down by my wrists and kissing me some more. So paralyzed with fear and surprise was I that I couldn't work up the will to summon my powers to teleport me out of there!
Then, Jinx weirded me out more by then taking my right arm and feeling it wither her hands. She kissed it, starting with my hand, and working her way to my shoulder. She did the same for my other arm. Quite frankly, I was confused by her actions.
She then took my right leg and repeated a similar show of affection, kissing my foot (the sole of it, even!) and stopping at my upper thigh. Again, she did this for the other leg.
After considering her actions, Jinx then laid on top of me, shimming her way to look me in my eyes. I couldn't tell if she was bothered by the horrified expression on my face. She still wore a look of contentment and of lust. She leaned so close to me, that I could feel her eyelashes brush my skin as she blinked.
She then embraced me as best she could, and gave me a hickey! I tried to get her to stop, but she just held tighter. When she finished, she stared at me again, smiling.
'What else is this crazy bitch going to do to me?' I wondered.
Thankfully, she got off the bed, and pulled me up with her. I felt I was safe now. How wrong I was!
She pulled back the blankets on her bed, and once again threw me on it. She then quickly turned off most the lights and joined me in the bed, covering both of us.
"What is the meaning of this?" I asked her.
"You said you'd be with me for this night, right?" she replied.
I nodded, knowing all too well what I got myself into.
"Don't worry, Raven." Jinx said. "I'm not going to do anything bad to you!"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. After all, I love you." With that, she kissed me and dozed off.
As I laid there in bed, with Jinx next to me, I considered my options. Should I teleport out of there, leaving her alone? How would she react to waking up alone? There was a chance she would become angry with me, and attack the city, or Titans Tower.
Sighing, I simply rested my head, closed my eyes, and meditated silently, in hopes of falling asleep. I prayed in the back of my mind for the both of us not to be naked in the morning.
