Chapter 1

Jinx decided it wouldn't have been her brightest idea to drop in on them late at night so she spent the night at one of her favorite haunts; The Rusty Cauldron. In the morning she decided to go and speak to the Titans, but as soon as she got outside Jinx knew their meeting would be a lot sooner and less calm than she'd hoped.

Plasmus was attacking Jump City, and Jinx knew the Teen Titans wouldn't be very far behind. She decided to stay as far out of the way as possible so Jinx flipped backwards onto the canopy of The Rusty Cauldron behind her and up onto the roof wait for her moment to act.

'Titans, GO!' shouted Robin as his team fanned out to attack the enemy, Plasmus this time. 'Let's wrap this up quickly guys!'

Raven was levitating eerily about a foot above the sidewalk in the lotus position. 'Azarath, metrion, ZINTHOS!' she chanted, lifting two double-decker buses with her magic and hurling them at the hulk that was Plasmus. They exploded on contact, ripping a hole in his stomach. Robin, sensing an opening tossed a couple of Cryo-disks into the hole Raven left, freezing Plasmus.

'I shall remove this beast from our path!' Shouted Starfire, her eyes pulsing emerald as she threw a barrage of starbolts at Plasmus. Finishing off with a blast from her eyes, the end result was a road full of purple goop.

'We are victorious, may we-ARGHHHH!' screamed Starfire, as a re-constituted Plasmus swallowed her whole, trapping her in one of the green globules on his head.

'STARFIRE!' shouted Robin, launching into an all-out offensive on the creature. He jumped and tried to slice open the 'eye' that encased Star with the razor-edge of one of his birdarangs and ended up being grabbed by one of Plasmus' tentacles.

'Yo' ugly, taste sonic blast!' bellowed Cyborg, firing his cannon at the arm holding Robin. 'BOOY-ARGHH!'

Plasmus spat acid at Cy's cannon, melting and shorting it out, battery fluid began spurting from the open tubes in his armour and Cyborg went into emergency shut down mode.

'Right, that's it!' shouted Beast Boy. 'Dudes, I'm getting you outta there!'

Beast Boy charged at Plasmus in rhino form, smashing into Plasmus' side, and sank into the gelatinous body.

All of this happened as Jinx watched on. She was debating whether she could help without getting turned on by them. Jinx decided she couldn't stand and watch any more. Taking a running jump off the building she was on, Jinx did a flip and landed perfectly on the pavement in front of a panic-stricken Raven, bending over the lifeless Cyborg.

'Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy…' whispered Raven, tears streaming down her face.

'It's ok you know,' smiled Jinx. 'I'm here to-'

'JINX!' shouted Raven, flying back quickly. 'Look, I haven't got time for games. I need to save my friends so back off!'

'No, I'm here to help, really' said Jinx, panicking.

'Whatever, just get out of my way,' Raven growled. 'Azarath, metrion, ZINTHOS!'

Jinx was hurled away by a flash of black energy. She landed a good twenty feet away right on her behind. '…if I wasn't trying to be good…' cursed Jinx.

Meanwhile, Raven wasn't fairing too well, she was being thrown around like a rag doll by tentacles of Plasmus' purple goop and unable to concentrate long enough for her powers to work.

'Oh for God's sake,' groaned Jinx, getting up gingerly and rubbing her ass. 'If I do this, they owe me BIG time.'

Cart wheeling over to the beast she threw a few hex arcs at the tentacle holding Raven and it released her. Collapsing to the floor Raven caught her breath, and Jinx helped her up.

'Why are you doing this?' demanded Raven. 'We regularly kick you and your friends' butts.'

'They weren't my friends…' muttered Jinx. 'Well they were in the beginning, and then I wanted out after Cyborg did what he did. Brother Blood, he brainwashed me and made me forget him.'

'Ok, this isn't the time to talk, but we will when we take care of this creep,' said Raven, looking at Plasmus.

'Ok,' nodded Jinx.

Jinx sent waves of energy at Plasmus' eyes, cutting Robin and Starfire loose, Raven caught them with claws of her power and set them down, unconscious on the sidewalk. And then ripped Beast Boy out of the goop he was trapped in.

'I'll hold him while you trap him!' shouted Jinx summoning pink fire to her hands and streaming it at Plasmus, restricting his movements. Raven floated around and around him, creating a ring of power around the now immobile Plasmus. Stopping, Raven closed her eyes and focused.

'Azarath, metrion, ZINTHOS!' she chanted, opening her glowing white eyes and lifting her arms up. She expanded the ring into a dome, without oxygen, the creature that was Plasmus dissolved into the man he used to be. Raven scooped up the sleeping form and prepared to teleport. 'I'll be back soon; just got to make sure he stays asleep in jail.'

Jinx decided to see if the other Titans were ok, Beast Boy was just knocked out but Starfire and Robin had both swallowed copious amounts of the fluid inside Plasmus. Jinx moved fast, pumping the fluid first out of Starfire, and then Robin. They coughed and spluttered and then woke up.

'Jinx, WHAT THE-'started Robin, before he and Star were separated from Jinx by a fiery black barrier.

'STOP!' bellowed Raven. 'She helped me save you, we should at least find out what she wants.'

'Fine,' muttered Robin. 'Let's get back to the Tower guys.'
