One thing I've loved about most fanfics is they talk about Cy and Jinx, so I'm hoping to explore their relationship more and give a deeper understanding to Jinx and what she really wants at the moment. I really enjoyed writing this chapter so I hope you like it.

Chapter 8

"Hey do you mind if I come in?" Cy knocked on the door stepping into the room Robin had thrown me in.

"Knock yourself out, isn't like I can tell you no" I snorted back.

"True but it's polite to ask, how you holding up?" the metal man took a seat next to me on the bed.

"As good as you can be in level four containment handcuffs" I said looking down at my wrists at the big handcuffs that weighed them down.

"I know that was a stupid question" he chuckled slightly.

"Yeah just a bit" then we sat in silence neither one of us knowing what to say to the other.

"Cy if you've got something to say just spit it out, it is why you're in here right?" I finally spoke breaking the silence.

"Yeah, look I just wanted to say I'm sorry for everything that happened" for the longest time I wanted to hear him apologize for what happened at the HIVE to say it was a mistake and then he'd come back. As time passed I realised that wasn't going to happen and I turned bitter I'd let myself get attached to someone and they hurt me, that's why whenever we battled the titans I always aimed for Robin or Cyborg. I knew it was Robin's idea to try and get information but Cyborg had played the part so well I didn't see it coming.

"I made my peace with what happened, you don't need to say anything more" I cut in before he could go on, no one wanted to remember a bad past.

"I know but you deserve an apology at least, it wasn't all fake yano" he let out a sigh, catching my attention I looked at him eyebrow raised.

"What wasn't fake?"

"The whole mission, how I felt for you. I was close to staying and not coming back" this surprised me, did he care? And he did think about staying.

"You was?" my voice wasn't as steady as I hoped it would be.

"Yeah I was" he answered as a whisper, putting his head down.

"Why didn't you?" now was the time for closer as much as I didn't want to remember my time with brother blood.

"I couldn't hurt people. I just couldn't. Knowing that I could potentially destroy someone's life, didn't sit well with me." I know what he meant. I might have been a good villain but I never liked hurting people.

"Yeah I get what you mean" I flopped back on the bed.

"So why did you stay?" he asked.

"I think you already know the answer" I looked back over at him, and he nodded.

"Yeah I felt like I belonged there it didn't matter what I looked like, I got to become someone who I've always wanted to be since yano becoming this. If it wasn't for brother blood I might of stayed"

"He was just a whacko, who does that to kids?"

"A criminal that's who" then we went back into silence until he broke the silence this time.

"Jinx can I ask you something?"

"Fire away" may as well see what he wants to know.

"If you're not with the HIVE what are you doing? Why have you decided to leave them now?"

"For a start that's two questions but I'll let you off. I guess now was the right time, before I always felt like we needed each other, they were/ are my family. Yeah they're a little misguided but deep down I don't think they're bad guys just handed a bad set of cards. After what happened with Kid I just thought now was the time, I didn't want to hurt or kill anyone and that's what it was turning into. As for the other question I don't know what I'm going to do now, I've enjoyed just being me."

"You want to be normal? Not a hero or villain?"

"I would, I know that sounds boring…." he cut me off before I could say anything more.

"No I don't think it's boring at all, if anything I think I might be one of the few that understands how you're feeling" him saying that just filled me with content at least someone understood what I wanted.

"Look I've got to go Jinx but if you really want to be normal I might be able to help" he then stood and made his way to the door before giving me a small smile over his shoulder.

A chance to be normal.
