A/N:Thanks to all those who have reviewed, i really appreciate it, so keep em coming! Christ, FINALLY the damn document uploader is working again, I've written up to chapter four and been unable to submit so far!
Dahdah da da dadah dah dahdah! Kid flash's Titans communicator beeped at him, he flipped it open, a map of the city with a blinking red light appeared. He sighed, the museum was being robbed. AGAIN.
"HIVE five! Rob 'em blind, and don't screw up this time!" Jinx snapped, carefully she walked over to the case. Her hand hovered above it.
"Good luck." Kid Flash laughed slightly, Jinx jumped and span around.
"Where?" She breathed, the room was empty save for Kid Flash and herself.
"They're cooling off in the Jump City lake, Mammoth was particuarally hard to move." He admitted sheepishly.
"So why am i still here then?" Jinx frowned shifting her weight uncomfortably to one leg, she folded her arms and glared at Kid Flash.
"Because they're hopeless." Kid Flash grinned.
"Tell me about- hey! Cut that out." Jinx snapped poking him in the chest.
"They're hopeless, but you're not." He said earnestly.
"Whatever." She frowned turning her back on him, typically he appeared in front of her leaning casually and cockily on the glass box containing the good luck pendant.
"I think I figured something out." He smiled at her annoyed expression.
"How much of a superhero loser you are?" She suggested irritated.
"No, about why you're all called the HIVE five when there's six of you." He grinned at her leaning further forward on the case so that he was almost nose to nose with her.
"It's because they're the HIVE five, you're the leader. Even when you made that team you didn't consider yourself part of it, you know you're better than them." He continued in a rare moment of seriousness.
"Of course I'm better than them, they're brainless idiots. Doesn't mean I'm a good guy though." Jinx added hexing the glass case, it exploded outwards flinging Kid Flash backwards. She reached in and dusted the glass off of the necklace and picked it up grinning from ear to ear.
"What are you going to do with that necklace when you leave then? What's your big plan if you're so smart?" Kid Flash shouted after her as he jumped up.
"I'm going to wear it, stupid." She growled as she fastened it around her own neck.
"See! You don't want to be bad anymore, this is you trying to change! You're proving me right as we speak!" He shouted as she headed towards the door, he bit his lip.
Come on… turn back, don't leave with it. I know you're good… show some conscience. He thought desperately.
"Stealing proves you wrong." Jinx shouted back exiting the museum and heading for the lake. Kid Flash sighed and sped off disappointed.
"Despite the bungled efforts of you five I managed to leave with what I came for." Jinx sneered as she stood on the bank of the Jump city lake, the rest of the HIVE five crawled out of the water. Mammoth shook himself like a dog and Billy Numerous pulled seaweed out of his hair.
"You stole a bunch of roses?" Seemore blinked confused.
"What?" Jinx exclaimed looking down, Seemore was right, around her neck was a chain of roses woven like a daisy chain. She grabbed them and pulled them off, a note fluttered to the ground, she bent down and picked it up.
I still know you're good deep down. Enjoy the necklace!
KF
She growled in anger causing the note and the chain of roses to catch fire, Jinx's eyes flared a fearsome pink, the HIVE five stepped backwards, they knew nothing good could come of THAT expression.
"Jinx?" Gizmo sqeaked, his voice wavering.
"What?!" Jinx yelled at him causing his backpack to malfunction and fly him off back into the middle of the lake.
"I'll get that Kid Flash if it's the last thing I do." Jinx growled clenching her fist in anger.
"I'm guessing from all the exploded things around this place that you weren't too happy with me taking that necklace back." Kid Flash observed reclining on Jinx's bed next to her.
"But the thing is, you don't even need good luck. Your powers may be bad luck, but that doesn't mean you have to be bad; using bad luck against bad people makes more sense than using it on the good guys you know." Kid Flash pointed out. He looked over at the sleeping Jinx and wondered if any of this was getting through.
"Just imagine what it'd be like to be a good guy Jinx." He sighed brushing a strand of Jinx's hair out of her eyes.
"be a good guy…"
"Good guy…"
Jinx opened her eyes to the sound of an alarm, she jumped out of bed and ran down into the main room in the HIVE five headquarters.
"Gizmo! What is it?" She asked pulling her hair into shape.
"It's those crudmunchers again, they're at the museum!" Gizmo answered spinning around on his chair away from the giant screen that filled their living room.
"Come on Kyd Wykkyd! Let's move!" Jinx grinned, Kyd Wykkyd nodded and opened his cloak creating a small dimensional portal which the others jumped through, though Mammoth with more difficulty than the others.
"At last… it's the amulet." Robin breathed fogging up the glass case.
"Raven." He called, obligingly the hooded figure appeared at his side, she swiped a hand along the side of the case, the glass turned black and she slipped her hand through problem free. Her fingers wrapped around the amulet and she pulled back through the case.
"At last, now let's get out of here before those morons show up." Robin nodded grabbing the amulet from Raven.
"Looking for us, Titans?" Jinx grinned baring her teeth.
"The HIVE five!" Robin growled clutching at the amulet.
"That's right, and I think you have something that doesn't belong to you. HIVE five! ATTACK!" Jinx yelled as all six of them leapt into battle.
Beast boy leapt as a tiger towards Billy Neumerous who promptly multiplied himself to fifteen people and dog piled onto Beast boy, several of them pulled his limbs tight and the rest pinned him down, no matter what form beast boy took he could never get so big or small that Billy Neumerous couldn't follow and trap him.
Mammoth was wrestling equally matched against Starfire's alien strength, he grunted, he wouldn't get anywhere this way.
"Mammoth! Duck!" See-More shouted, Mammoth ducked his head down just in time to avoid being shot by the laser eye blast that shot Starfire across the room and crashing into an empty mummy case.
"That ought to hold her for a while." See-More laughed, he looked up at Kyd Wykkyd floating alone in the room.
"Kyd Wykkyd, where's Raven?" See-More shouted up, Kyd Wykkyd stared down at him mutely.
"uh… is she… taken care of?" See-More tried again, phrasing his question in a yes/no format. Kyd Wykkyd nodded.
Far far away…
"Stupid teleporter." Raven shivered knee deep in snow, she looked around.
"Great, nothing for miles around. Stupid arctic, every damn time too!" She huffed, her breath misting in the air.
"There's just one thing missing…" Raven pondered, suddenly a polar bear jumped out from the snow roaring and proceeded to chase Raven across the tundra.
"That's it!" Raven screamed fleeing.
Back at the museum…
Robin pulled out a birdarang and flipped it open, Jinx smiled and spread her fingers, pink energy crackled forward. The Birdarang malfunctioned in a hiss of sparks and melting metal.
"Damnit these are expensive!" Robin snarled at her lunging forward. Jinx sidestepped his attack allowing him to skid face down on the floor.
"Face it Robin, you're never going to win, the good guys always win." Jinx laughed.
"You think so?" Robin grinned nastily as he rolled over onto his back and looked up at her. "Well you forget the bad guys don't play fair." He sneered gesturing across the room to Cyborg who side-stepped to reveal a slumped over Kid Flash. Robin pulled a remote out of his pocket and pressed a button, Jinx watched in horror as Kid Flash's body spasmed as unknown volts shot through his body painfully.
"KID FLASH!" Jinx shouted sitting bolt upright in bed panting, she looked around her room, she was safe. It was all just a weird dream… just a dream. Jinx shuffled over to the other half of her double bed and curled up closing her eyes. Suddenly they clicked open again, this half of the bed was… warm. Jinx shrugged and snuggled back down to sleep, she must have just been fidgeting a lot in her sleep was all.
Kid Flash was several miles away before he dared stop running, Jinx had been having some kind of dream that was for sure, but that scream had jolted him right out of his skin, and several miles away to boot. He panted holding his chest to contain his racing heart, maybe this hadn't been such a good idea after all…
