Prologue

The sky was clear and peaceful over Jump City, but the H.I.V.E Academy couldn't be more the opposite. Jinx was in a rage, and Jinx's rages were often destructive.

'That's IT! I'm outta HERE!' she screeched, sending blast after blast at the walls of the academy's Great Hall.

'JINX!' Bellowed Brother Blood, his eyes glowing crimson. 'WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?'

'You're the meaning of this, asshole,' said Jinx. 'You brainwashed me, do you know how PISSED OFF, that makes me?'

'N-now Jinx, calm…calm down. I only did it because I thought you were making a mistake.' Stammered Blood, he knew if she'd broken through his control she'd also have full control over her powers.

'And you know the worst thing?' she spat, her eyes glowing. 'You stopped me using my powers, you arrogant, pig-headed bastard.'

Brother Blood started to back away from her, positively shaking with terror as Jinx's body began to glow with an aura of pink energy. He knew how powerful she was…that was why he did what he did in the first place. To stop her breaking through his mind control to begin with, he knew he'd have to fight her now, and he would probably lose too. Jinx waved her arms, and arcs of her hex energy fanned out, ripping through the area around him. Then she closed the distance between them in an instant.

'Brother Blood, I think it's time you and I danced,' sneered Jinx, her hands glowing with magenta fire. 'And I don't think the tango is appropriate.'

Sweating profusely Blood looked around for any assistance, the students had fled to the underground dorms as they usually did when Jinx flew into a rage, all that was left were his android guards. 'H.I.V.E BOTS, ATTACK!'

'Jesus…you are pathetic,' sniffed Jinx as 12 H.I.V.E androids disengaged from the walls and started towards her. 'Oh well, let's get this over with so I can deal with the pathetic excuse for a leader.'

The first was down in an instant, Jinx threw a few hexes at a ceiling arch and a piece fell, turning the robot into scrap metal. Then she flipped over the second and traced a line of pink fire down its back, it emitted sparks and then fell to pieces in front of her. Then one got in a glancing shot with its sonic cannon which grazed her shoulder.

'ARGHHH! THAT'S ENOUGH!' she screamed and sent a giant wave of energy at the pillars lining the walls. The ceiling began to collapse, smashing androids as it went. When the smoke cleared there were three left. Sheathing her hand in a fiery pink blade she ran at the first one and poked a hole through its chest. The pair left were sliced and diced until all that was left were chips and circuits.

'Now for you Brother Blood,' sneered Jinx, blasting his office doors to splinters. 'Come out; come out wherever you are…'

She then blasted his desk to pieces. "Dammit I thought he'd be behind there.' She cursed. Next went the bookcase. 'OH FOR FU- hold on what's this?'

She hexed the panel she found and a section of the wall slid up, revealing a lift. She took it down to the basement level of the school. When the door opened she saw a rather sinister looking laboratory, and Brother Blood surrounded by marks and wards in the center of the room.

'Oh god you are pathetic if you think that'll stop me for long you piece of shit,' laughed Jinx, she closed her eyes and began to emanate a soft pink light, gradually growing more and more intense. Jinx's eyes snapped open and the resulting shockwave of power sent everything in the room against the wall, Brother Blood was among the debris groaning in pain.

'You know, when somebody talks to you, you should STAND UP' Jinx commanded, and Blood was lifted telekinetically from the floor and held in mid air in front of her. 'Now then, I'm going to let you live on the condition that I never have to see you again, EVER!'

'O-OK, you'll never see me again,' whimpered Brother Blood.

'Good,' smiled Jinx. 'Now I'm gone.'

And with that Jinx turned and walked away, but not before she sent Blood sprawling across the floor for kicks. As she took the lift back to Brother Blood's office Jinx wondered about what to do next. She couldn't wander the streets; after all she was a wanted criminal. She couldn't just hide away and start again; Jinx liked her life, she like using her powers and fighting because it was what she was good at. In the end she decided on going to see the only people she knew could help her. The Teen Titans… the only people she knew would give her a second chance.
