Jynx: Al doesn't own teen titans, and wants to say HA! To everyone who didn't think I'd end up joining the titans in the show.
Al: nods
Jynx paced back and forth in the drab white room, "what is the hold up?" She asked the air as she shot a glare at the one way mirrored window that was on the wall of the room.
On the other side of the glass Raven was grumbling as Beastboy tried to explain his logic, "Listen, Joker wanted something with Jynx, so wouldn't it make sense to bring her here and figure out what he wanted?" He asked her disapproving stare.
"It sounds like what Robin would do." Terra commented idly watching Jynx pace.
Raven still seemed uncertain, "Robin left me in charge while he and Cyborg are both gone, so you should have asked me first Beastboy." she sighed, not wanting to deal with the stress of leading, what if someone got hurt while she was in charge? She never wanted to lead but truth be told she was a better choice then the other two knuckleheads left behind.
Knucklehead one was busy flipping through a copy of "Good cop, Bad cop for dummies.", and knucklehead two was steaming the glass with her breath and drawing smiley faces in it, not exactly leadership material.
"Alright, we'll see what she knows, but don't do anything too…mean, after all for all we know she WAS just there to withdraw some money."
"Right right, let's go." Beastboy put his book down and entered the room, he'd find out what she knew if it killed him.
"Shouldn't we be helping him?" Terra asked nervously watching the scene unfold through the one sided glass.
"He'll be ok." Raven had to suppress a smirk, Currently Jynx was sitting on him and pulling on his leg in a wrestling hold, the room itself was made to negate superpowers granted by chemicals and magic, it usually worked and in this case it kept both Jynx and Beastboy from using their powers. Neither being terrible strong at hand to hand combat once the short tempered girl had had enough she and Beastboy had begun grappling, and within half an hour they were both exhausted, Beastboy aching from all the holds and blows she had dealt, being the weaker fighter tween the two, and Jynx panting from exhaustion, the little green elf just kept getting up no matter how hard she hit him.
"Listen green genes, I don't know how to beat it into your thick head, but I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JOKER!" She roared.
"She's lying." Raven said unemotionally sensing the truth lurking just below the surface.
Beastboy paused and seeing no signal from Raven to say she was telling the truth continued his grilling, "If you don't know him why does he seem to know you?"
Jynx moaned and hurled a chair at Beastboy who just barely ducked it, "I don't freaking know ok? The only stuff I know about Joker is what I learned at the HIVE and in the papers, so let me go!" She leapt at Beastboy again, pinning him and trying a sleeper hold.
Raven looked surprised and floated into the room, fallowed by Terra, "She's telling the truth Beastboy, let her go."
"What? She's the one killing me!" Beastboy exclaimed as he gruntingly tried to break the girls grip.
"I was talking to Jynx." Raven again suppressed a smirk, jokes were not her thing.
Jynx let Beastboy up and dusted herself off, "So I'm ok, you'll let me go now?"
"Yeah, get lost, you know the way out, and don't try anything, we have camera's everywhere." Beastboy rubbed his neck as Terra helped him up.
Jynx walked past the titans but paused at the door, "You know…you'll probably have a lot more difficult a time figuring out his plan without me, after all I'm the one he wants." She said with a sly grin.
The three titans looked uneasy at each other for a long moment before Raven spoke, "What are you thinking?" She said sternly.
"Well, I'm homeless as of a few weeks ago when you destroyed HIVE, I could use a place to sleep, some food…"
"No way!" Beastboy looked like he was amazed she would even suggest it.
"I agree, no deal Jynx, we can track you if we like." Raven said calmly as if it should end the discussion.
"Um…" Terra spoke up and all eyes turned to her.
"What?" Raven asked, her eyes narrowed.
"Um…I think we should let her stay." Terra seemed unsure, awkward, like she had when she first joined, truth be told ever since returning to the titans she had felt out of place, after all she had tried to kill them, and thanks to some passionate words to the team from Beastboy she was let back in, but even now she could tell Raven was still not trusting her.
"I agree with her, after all you titans may be good at tracking people, but who's to say I don't skip town, go somewhere out of your territory? Joker's sure to fallow." Jynx was leaning on the door frame, a superior smirk on her face.
Terra gave a little start as she heard a voice in her head, "You better have a good reason for backing her." Raven's voice echoed in Terra's head.
"I…I think that it would make things easier if we had her for bait, and besides, what if Jokers after her to hurt her, technically she's served her time and is a free citizen of Jump City, so we have to protect her right?" Terra thought, assuming Raven would hear it.
Raven's eyes remained focused with hawk like intensity on Terra as she spoke, "Alright, Beastboy take her to a room. While you are here you are not to touch anything without permission, and when we go out your coming with us."
"What? I'm no crime fighter, if you remember I cause crime." Jynx reminded them looking insulted.
"Well we're not leaving you alone in the tower and with only three of us we can't afford to let anyone skip patrols and fights. Bedtime is at 10:00, we will be locking you in your room, I hope you enjoy your time with us, once we develop a plan to catch Joker we'll let you know." Raven turned her cold gaze on Jynx, the message was "Don't even think of trying anything."
"Great, sounds like prison all over again but without the "Friendly" bunkmate who just wants to cuddle." Jynx grumbled as the green titan led her out of the room.
Raven was staring at Terra again in that cold dangerous stare, "Your in charge of her Terra, if she does anything you better fix it." And wordlessly the half demon girl left the room.
Terra sighed and sat on the cold metal tables edge, "I'm not very good at this hero business." She muttered to her reflection in the window.
"That's because you weren't cut out for it." A malevolent voice spoke in the back of her head.
Terra blinked and shook her head, she was just hearing things, it was nothing, she got up to fallow after Beastboy.
R&R again, sorry for such a long time between updates but I just lost my spark, I hope to update more regularly.
