Kid Flash was standing triumphantly by her side, fists on his hips and a grin plastered on his face.

Jinx clasped a hand to the side of her forehead in annoyance. "Yeah, I bet you would enjoy seeing me like this," she grumbled. He was the last person she wanted to deal with at the moment. She took in a deep sigh, and foolishly awaited his explanation for being there.

There was an uneasy silence. Well, Jinx was uneasy. Kid Flash looked perfectly content with staring at her. Two minutes had passed, and he was still there, not saying anything. She could feel his icy blue eyes boring into her own, despite the fact that she was staring at the ground.

A vein throbbed angrily in her head. "Leave me alone already!!!" she yelled, her hands bunched up into fists out of frustration. Ever since their first encounter, he's rarely given her a moment's peace. And trying to find privacy from a guy who could phase through walls and run at the speed of light gave her massive headaches.

Kid Flash raised his red-gloved hands up in defense. "Aw, c'mon. Is that any way to treat a friend just trying to help ya out?" He cupped his chin as he examined her getup more thoroughly. "Because I really don't think that hairdo is going to fly if you're trying to pass for a normal student. Don't get me wrong though, it is cute." The speedster flashed his usual mischievous smile.

Jinx's neon eyes shot wide open in shock. "How did you---how long have you been standing there!?" she asked in exasperation.

He examined his knuckles idly, a small smirk on his face. "Not long," he teased.

She wasn't satisfied. "How much do you know?"

"Not much. Just that you were screaming at Robin about spying on someone named Terra." The smirk broadened.

Jinx's heart sank. She didn't even begin and her first mission as a Titan was already falling apart. She advanced at Kid Flash and grabbed him roughly. "Swear to me you'll never talk to anyone else about this! EVER!"

He looked surprised at her aggressiveness, something he naively thought she might have lost as a heroine. "Relax, relax," he assured her, "I won't tell anyone. But seriously, what's the big deal? This Terra person that important?"

Jinx's expression quickly mellowed at his words, and she released him. She turned away, staring out into the street. "It's stupid but… I don't know."

"Yeah? What do you want?"

The pink-haired sorceress peered suspiciously inside the dark room she was summoned to. She could see a spotlight shining down upon a table full of papers, newspaper clippings, and other objects in the center area. Robin was standing right beside it. "Jinx, come on in," he ushered.

She cautiously obeyed, and the doors closed behind her. She shuffled her way towards to where he stood. On the way, she noticed an old clipping of her parole sentence hanging on the wall. Needless to say, it didn't help her uneasiness. "You called me out here. So what is it already?"

Robin approached her. "I have an important mission for you," he said with a friendly business smile, "Since you're one of the few Titans who isn't actively patrolling an area--"

Jinx grimaced. 'As if you're doing anything to help that,' she thought bitterly.

"You're perfect for the job. However," Robin's friendly expression soon returned to the more grave stance she was all too familiar with, "If you choose to accept this, you have to promise to keep this between you and me. No one else," he swung his arm to emphasize this. "Not the Titans, and ESPECIALLY not Beast Boy," Robin concluded resolutely, his arms crossed.

"How do I know what I'm even agreeing to?" Jinx spat, her arms in a similar fashion to his.

"Trust me on this. You can handle it better than anyone else."

She blinked, then sighed in defeat. Declining an offer from the leader of her new team wouldn't be the best idea. "Okay, what do you need?"

Robin pushed some papers aside on the steel table. He pulled up a photograph of a blonde-haired girl with pale blue eyes. "This is your target." The Titans leader handed it to his newly acquired agent to examine. "Her name is Terra, and she's enrolled at Murakami High. Although she probably goes by a different name now," Robin mused, briefly running his hand on his chin as he considered this. "She was struck with a case of amnesia, and I want you to find out why." He started to pace a little as Jinx looked over the picture. "Starting Monday, I'll enroll you as a student at her school."

"What!?" Jinx's mouth gaped open. "Wait a second, I haven't even begun this superhero gig yet and you want me to spy on someone? And I've already been to high school TWICE, I'm not going back for a third!"

"You've already accepted this mission," he nearly shouted, trying his best to restrain his anger. "And now you know far too much. There's no backing out of it. Deal," said Robin, his eyes narrowing at her outburst.

The leader and ex-leader locked eyes in a fierce glare. Eventually, Jinx turned away in contempt.

Robin turned his back to her and continued, "Beast Boy's also informed me that Slade has returned and knows about her condition." He slammed his fist against the table. "In that case, she's in danger. Find out his connection to her."

"Wait, hold on," interrupted Jinx. "Who is she? Why is she so important?"

Robin looked intensely at Jinx for a few moments before he continued. "She was a Titan.. a geomancer… That's all you need to know."

"Whoa. That's heavy," remarked Kid Flash. "Robin giving ya this involved task and then skimping on the details. Pretty suspicious."

Jinx nodded. "Yeah, tell me about it. Everything about this bothers me, especially considering Slade is involved… I mean, what would he want with---" Her eyes fluttered back to reality, realizing that she's once again shared too much information with Kid Flash. She smacked her forehead. "Look, like I said, you're not suppose to be here! And I have to be in class in five minutes. So get out of here already!! And if you ever---" she raised her finger menacingly at him.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Don't worry," he smiled, and gave a small peck on her cheek, "your secret's safe with me."

Jinx was stunned. She could feel her cheeks burn beneath her cake powder makeup. When she finally came to, she screamed out in anger.

But he was already gone.
