Need For Speed 3

The Fem Five

Jinx stood frozen with her arms stretched out in front of her, hands glowing pink and ready to fire. She wasn't sure who to attack. She didn't want to hurt Kid Flash or See-More but she had to stop this fight. As Kid Flash and See-More charged each other, Jinx was finally able to move. She ran between them and spread her arms out to the side.

"Stop it!" she yelled. "Stop it right now or I'll—I'll hex you both!"

"You wouldn't," said See-More.

"Yes I would!" Jinx hissed, her eyes and hands glowing pink. "I'm serious. Stop fighting!"

Already having been hexed before, Kid Flash backed up and crossed his arms. See-More did the same. The boys were glaring at each other.

"Jinx, let's just go," said See-More.

"You're not the boss of her," said Kid Flash.

"Neither are you," snapped See-More.

"Shut up!" Jinx snarled, intimidating both boys. "See-More, I'm not thinking of becoming Kid Flash's new partner, if that's what you're worried about."

"See?" See-More said to Kid Flash.

"And I'm not planning on sticking with the Hive Five forever either," Jinx said.

"You're not?" See-More mumbled.

"I need a change," Jinx admitted.

"You're not just going to leave the city on your own, are you?" See-More asked.

"Well, maybe."

"You have to have some kind of plan before just taking off," See-More said.

"Yeah, he's right," Kid Flash agreed.

"Of course I'm right," See-More muttered. "Jinx, you're still part of the Hive Five."

Jinx sighed. "I guess so."

"Come on, let's go," See-More said, taking Jinx's arm. "It's been a wild night."

"Okay," Jinx mumbled, "bye, Kid Flash."

"Later," Kid Flash said and he zoomed off.

"What were you doing hanging with him anyway?" See-More asked Jinx.

"We weren't on a date if that's what you're thinking," Jinx retorted as she started walking back to the HIVE tower.

They walked back to the tower in silence. Before anyone asked her any questions, Jinx snapped at them to leave her alone and she went straight to her room. She put on some music and started going through her old scrapbook from Junior Hive. She stopped at a picture of herself with a girl with dark hair and eyes dressed a little like a gypsy. The girl was her best friend in Junior Hive: PsyChic. Like Jinx, PsyChic was a fan of Madame Rouge and the girls even started a fan club. Sometimes PsyChic even dressed like Madame Rouge. Until one day, PsyChic had a vision of Madame Rouge and Jinx. She invvisioned that Madame Rouge would make a fool out of Jinnx after Jinx had tried to look good in front of her. Jinx didn't believe PsyChic's vision and she went on admiring Madame Rouge like she always has. Psy-Chic left HIVE academy along with some of their old friends and started a do-gooder team. Jinx thought that it was about time that she saw her old friend. Jinx turned the page where PsyChic had left her email address and a message for them to keep in touch. Sighing, she brought the scrapbook to her new computer that Gizmo had made her and wrote a long overdue email to her psychic friend, asking if it was all right if she could camp out with them until she figured out what she wanted to do.

Less than a day later, Jinx got an email back from PsyChic granting her permission to stay for as long as she liked. Jinx printed out the email which held the location of where her old friends were staying and put it in the bag with a few of her belongings. Jinx decided to leave the HIVE at three o'clock in the morning. She didn't want the guys to see her and she didn't want to explain where she was going. For all she knew, she might be returning back. She was just so confused, she didn't know what to do. Before making it to the front door, she heard a voice behind her.

"You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye, were you?"

Jinx sighed and turned around. "Sorry, See-More, but I have to go."

"Where?" See-More inquired.

"Don't worry," Jinx said, "I'm not just going to wander around. I'm going to stay with--,"

"Not with Kid Flash," See-More groaned.

"No!" Jinx yelled. "No. I'm not going to him. I'm going to stay with some old friends of mine from Hive Academy. I haven't seen them in a long time."

"Who?"

"You remember PsyChic, don't you?"

See-More paused and scratched his head in thought. "Didn't she used to date Kyd Wykkyd?"

Jinx smiled. "Yeah, for a while. But she broke up with him before she withdrew from the school. I asked PsyChic if I could stay with her and she said I can stay with her as long as I want."

"Will you come back?"

Jinx shrugged. "I don't know. I might end up joining her team, might go off somewhere else."

"You really don't have to go, you know," said See-More, "you've got a team right here. You've got the HIVE five."

"It's not the team I belong to anymore," Jinx said.

"What are you talking about?" See-More demanded. "You're the leader of this team. You keep us going. We'd get nothing done without you around."

Jinx smiled, hoping it would coax a smile from See-More. "Hey, with me gone, it'll just be the guys. It will really be the HIVE five. You won't have to listen to my complaining. You can do whatever you guys want."

"Jinx, we've given you everything," See-More insisted, "I know before we haven't really been paying much attention but we'll do better."

"You guys have been really great for the last week," Jinx said, "really, I appreciate it…but you don't have what I need."

"What is it then?" See-More asked. "I'll go get it."

"I really don't know," Jinx said, "I'm stil trying to figure it out. But if I stay here, I'll never find out."

See-More sighed heavily. "There's nothing I can say to make you change your mind?"

Jinx shook her head. "it's already made up. I have to go."

"All right," See-More groaned, rubbing the back of his neck sadly.

"Thanks," Jinx said, "I want you to keep an eye on things for me, all right?"

"Of course I will," said See-More. "Goodbye, Jinx."

"See ya," Jinx said, stepping to See-More. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek that did not cause him to blush. Rather, it made him push her gently out the door.

"Go on. Do what you gotta do."

Listening to the tunes that Kyd Wykkyd gave her, Jinx walked over the bus station and waited for the next bus to take her to Tree City; the city her friends decided to protect. (AN: Yeah, Tree City…really original and stupid I know. Just cmae to my mind. It's not Boise—which is French for the City of Trees. She's going to some place north with a lot of trees.) Jinx was only waiting for a few minutes when she just noticed someone sitting next to her.

"Going for a hike?" the red headed boy said.

"I wish you'd go one," Jinx groaned.

"Not a morning person, are you?" Kid Flash said. "So, decided to leave those guys huh?"

"For now," said Jinx.

"You made the right choice."

"I guess," Jinx said.

"Where are you going?"

"Not that it's any of your business," said Jinx, "but I'm going to Tree City up in Montana."

"That's a long way," said Kid Flash.

"My bus should be here soon," Jinx said, checking her watch.

"I can get you there faster."

"No I--," Jinx said but Kid Flash had already picked her up into his arms and started running. "Hey!"

"We'll get there lots faster now."

"What do you mean we?" Jinx demanded. "Hey, you just ran a red light!"

Within a minute, Jinx and Kid Flash arrived in Tree City. He kept zooming around the city.

"Well this is a nice place to start over in."

"Whatever," she said, "you can put me down now. I know where to go from here."

"All right," Kid Flash said and he let her down. Jinx took a few uneasy steps. "Man, I'm dizzy. I really should have taken the bus."

She staggered down the road and pulled out the address for the Fem Four, the all female hero group PsyChic led. The headquarters was a two-story house, quite unlike most hideouts. Jinx walked up to the door and knocked on it. Moments later a girl with blue skin and frosty white hair answered the door.

"Jinx?" she said, her breath visible as she spoke.

"Hey Frost," Jinx said.

"We weren't expecting you for another couple of hours," said Frost, looking at her watch.

"Yeah, I know," Jinx said, "I'm sorry. I got a ride with a—him." Jinx thumbed into Kid Flash's direction and when Frost's eyes fell upon him, she gasped.

"No way, you're friends with Kid Flash?" Frost demanded.

"Yeah," said Kid Flash, grinning. "We're pretty tight."

Jinx glared at Kid Flash and Frost let them in.

"See, I told you," said a voice from around the corner and PsyChic entered the room. She looked at Frost. "I told you Jinx would be early. Glad to see you here, Jinx. Now we can be the Fem Five."

"From the Hive Five to the Fem Fie," said Kid Flash, "Pretty cool, huh?"

PsyChic smiled. "Ah, I thught I saw you coming with a companion."

"Wish you told me that," said Jinx, "where's my room?"

"Follow me," said Psyichic, "Kid Flash, go ahead and make yourself at home."

"Thanks," said Kid Flash, "I'll just have a look around."

"Just don't go into Shimmer's room," Frost said, "she's still asleep."

"No problem," said Kid Flash and he made a quit tour of the headquarters, but he avoided the room with Shimmer's name onnit. He came to the lab where he found many devices and computers. There was a car in the middle of the lab and he saw feet poking out from under it.

"Hey," the owner of the feet said, "can you hand me the…"

Kid Flash zoomed to the toolbox and held a wrench out. "You mean this?"

"What the?" the girl gasped, hearing a boys' voice. She slid out from under the car, pulled her goggles up her light brown haired head, and looked at Kid Flash. "Who're you? Who let you in?"

"Relax," Kid Flash said, "I came here with Jinx. I'm a friend of hers. Kid Flash—that ice girl recognized me."

"Oh," said the girl, "yeah, Kid Flash…nice to meetcha…I'm Gadget."

"What're you working on?" Kid Flash inquired.

"The Fem Car," Gadget said, wiping oil off her hands. "Along with a dozen other inventions. It's going to take me forever to get them done." She nodded around the room and sighed.

"Don't' worry," Kid Flash said, "with my help done we'll cut the time in half."

"Really?" said Gadget with a smile.

Kid Flash nodded. "Wow, Jinx is really lucky to have met you."

"That's what I keep telling her."

Later that morning, Shimmer finally emerged from her bedroom. She looked tiredly at Jinx. "Jinx, when did you get here?"

"Early this morning," Jinx answered.

Shimmer yawned. "Well that was a fast bus ride."

"She didn't take the bus, Shimmer," Frost said, "Kid Flash brought her."

This news made Shimmer wake up faster. "Whoa, you and Kid Flash? So that's why you want to be a hero now. I knew it had to have something to do with a guy!"

"It's nothing like that," said Jinx. "I just…got tired of the guys, that's all."

"Speaking of which, how's Baran?" Shimmer inquired. Shimmer and Mammoth were brother and sister. Unlike her big and bulky brother, Shimmer was slender and tall. The only likeness they had was their red hair.

"Mammoth's fine," Jinx answered.

"How'd he take it when you said you were leaving?" Shimmer asked.

"He doesn't know I'm here," Jinx replied.

"Didn't you tell the guys where you were going?" Frost questioned.

Jinx shook her head. "Just See-More. He saw me leave this morning."

"Why didn't you tell the team wha you intended on doing?" Frost asked.

"I didn't think it was important," Jinx said, "they never listen to anything I tell them."

"But don't you think they'll worry?" Shimmer.

Jinx laughed. "All those guys care about themselves. And besides, See-More will tel them. I asked him to keep an eye on things while I'm gone. I've appointed him as the new leader."

"Let's talk about this over breakfast," said Shimmer, walking over to the kitchen, "I bet you never got anything to eat with Baran eating everything, eh?"

Once Shimmer had breakfast ready, Frost went to fetch Gadget and Kid Flash. The Fem Four explained their powers to Kid Flash and Jinx, though Jinx already knew what their powers were. PsyChic had strong psychic powers. Not only could she see the future, but she could also use her powers for telekinesis. Frost had control over ice and cold. Shimmer was a matter transmuter, able to change one element or compound to another. Gadget however, had no superhuman powers except of her great intelligence and marital art skills.

"It's so good to have you on the team now, Jinx," PsyChic said, "it'll be just like old times."

"Yeah, but I don't know if I'm just ready t be on a team yet," said Jinx, "I said I didn't kow how long I'd be staying here."

"Come on, Jinx," said Shimmer, "you'd be a great asset to the team. Where else would you go?"

"It's just so hard," Jinx admitted, "from going from a bad guy to a good guy."

"We all ahd to make that change," Shimmer insisted, "you think it was easy for us? We still have it hard. How do you think I feel, changing my life of crime when my brother is still a criminal?"

"Our reasons for becoming criminals were different," said PsyChic, "Shimmer and Frost were ridiculed, I idolized the bad guys and you just figured that your powers of bad luck made you a bad guy."

"They're right, Jinx," said Kid Flash.

"Stay out of this," Jinx snapped. "Why are you still here anyway? You got me here so you can go now."

"All right," said Kid Flash, getting up from his chair.

"No, Kid Flash, you can stay if you want," said PsyChic.

"Don't mind if I do," Kid Flash said as he sat back down.

"You can join the team too," PsyChic said.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Jinx said.

"Yeah, I agree with Jinx there," said Kid Flash, "I appreciate it ladies, but wouldn't a guy on the team change the whole 'fem' thing? I just came to make sure Jinx got here and she won't run off somewhere else."

"I mean, you won't be a real member," PsyChic said, "we can give you a communicator and you can help us on missions."

"Yeah, and I can really use a hand in the lab on all my experiments," Gadget added.

"That's cool," said Kid Flash.

"I'll get you one now," said Gadget, leaving some eggs on her plate as she got up from the table.

"Great."

"What missions are you doing now?" Jinx said. "Have you had to fight any um…big criminals?"

"Like the Brotherhood of Evil?" Shimmer questioned. "No, nothing like them."

"We took on Dr. Light once," said PsyChic.

Shimmer laughed in memory. "Yeah, he couldn't fight once I transmuted his equipment into salt."

After Gadget had given Kid Flash a commutation device, he bid his goodbyes to the team and he wished Jinx good luck.

"Thanks," said Jinx, smiling a little, "that's the first time everyone had ever said that to me."

A couple days went by and Jinx played the part of a hero. Time to time, Kid Flash helped the girls out. Jinx forgot her life with the Hive Five and she got into her new life. Things were getting better. She could finally use her bad luck powers for something good. Why didn't' she ever see it before? Could she had ever done this if she hadn't met Kid Flash? Was it all because of him?

After Kid Flash took on a handful of Brotherhood lackeys, he got a very strange message from Robin.

"Calling all Titans! The Brotherhood of Evil has been listening! I'm breaking off all further communication! Take care of yourselves. You know what to do."

"They've been what--?" Kid Flash said. A second later he got the message, his communicator short circuited. Kid Flash yelped and dropped it.

"Ah man, what do I do now?" Kid Flash wondered. What did Robin mean by 'you know what to do?' Kid flash didn't have the slightest idea what to do! He began to wonder about the other titans. Have they been captured? Where were they? Kid Flash had to find them and help them. No, he had to go to the ones in trouble. He had to find the Brotherhood of Evil…but where were they? Then he thought about the Fem Five. He knew they weren't titans, but they had once been criminals. What if the Brotherhood of Evil found out about them too? Kid Flash ran over to their headquarters in a panic. He was relieved to see that theey were all there and all right.

"Kid Flash!" Jinx gasped, seeing his ripped uniform. "What happened?"

"I just had to take on about ten guys," he said, "the Brother hood of Evil has been tracking the Teen Titans with a communicator."

"How did they get a communicator?" Gadget wondered.

"Don't look at me," said Jinx, "I didn't give them one."

"I think they may have captured some of them," said Kid Flash, "I got a message from Robin and then my communicator blew up." He held up his titans communicator and Gadget looked at it.

"Ah, don't worry, I can fix it," said Gadget.

"Maybe it's better if it stays broken," said Shimmer. "If that's what they used to track Kid Flash in the first place."

"I've got to get to their base," said Kid Flash, turning around.

"Not so fast!" Jinx exclaimed, grabbing his arm. "You're not going anywhere without me."

"You don't need to come," he said, "you're not a Titan. Besides, if there are some more of Brotherhood of Evil guys out here then you may need to take them."

"And where do you expect to find the Brotherhood of Evil anyway?" Jinx demanded. "You need me. You're taking me with you."

"Ah, are you worried about me?" Kid Flash teased.

"Don't flatter yourself," she said, "I just want payback after what Rouge did to me."

"Knock her one for us then," said Shimmer, "we'll handle things here. Kid Flash is right. There may be some titans that need a hand here. We'll help them out so they can get to the Brotherhood of Evil's base."

"Where is that?" said Kid Flash.

"Paris," said Jinx.

"Of all the places in the world, they pick Paris," Kid Flash said, shaking his head. "Should've known."

"Come on, let's go," Jinx said.

Kid Flash picked Jinx up and nodded at the girls. "See ya ladies later."

"Yeah," said PsyChic and Kid Flash zoomed off withJinx. "Well, we're the Fem Four again."

"What're you talking about?" Shimmer demanded. "Jinx is coming back, isn't she?"

"I really don't see her coming back," PsyChic said.

PsyChic was right. Jinx didn't go back to the Fem Four. She remained with Kid Flash. She became a Teen Titan. It might not have been what she was looking for, but it was what she needed. Kid Flash was all she needed.

"You don't regret anything?" Kid Flash asked her a couple days after they had stopped the Brotherhood of Evil. They were now partners, staying at his hideout.

"Like what?" Jinx inquired.

"Like leaving the Hive Five?" he asked.

Jinx said. "Not at all. I'm where I'm supposed to be." Jinx said and she put her arms around his neck. "I've never felt so lucky."

Kid Flash kissed her. It was just what she needed.

The Fem Four didn't remain as the Fem Four for long. PsyChic predicted they would pick up a new member sometime into the future. While they were stopping a gang of bank robbers, a figure in black and green swooped down and knocked a robber senseless with a rose-like staff.

"That was cool," said Frost.

"Thank you," said the stranger.

PsyChic smiled and walked up to the black and green suited girl. "We're the Fem Four. Care to join us and make us the Fem Five?"

"Fem Five?" the girl inquired.

"Yeah, we used to be the Fem Five for a while," said Gadget, "but it looks like our last member won't be coming back."

"I'm used to working solo," said the girl in the black and green suit, "but an all girl team? I guess I'll give it a try."

She shook hands with PsyChic. "You can call me Black Rose."

In the end, everyone got what they needed. The Fem Four got a new member, The Hive Five learned their lesson, the Brotherhood of Evil were defeated and Jinx finally got some speed.

THE END
