Discliamer: Okay, not here to steal anyone's ideas or specialness, just here to bring a bit of my own specialness into the world...yeah..bitch
Finally I'm home, it's so freaking cold up north I'm used to a hundred degree weather and they freaking stick me up there with jeans and T-shirts where it gets sixty degrees at night and colder! Oh and on top of that they lose my luggage and I'm stuck with the clothes on my back for twenty-four hours...ugh I hate north-west, don't fly on it if you have to go somewhere in the north-western part of the U.S.
You see how the type is bold, that's because this is important: This is the chapter where this story earns it's M-Rating so if you've got people in the room you'd rather not be seen by while you read this is I suggest you close this window and view another time (or not at all, your preference) so remember, this is fem-slash and it is M-rated, there you've been warned.
Don't Wake Me Up
Jinx sat in the car for a few moments, enjoying the memory of Raven and letting her mind just rest for a bit. With a start she snapped out of it and grabbed her phone, what was I thinking just storming off like that? Tony's going to kill me!
Jinx dialed Tony's number, "Jen! I've been tryin' ta call yeah all night, where da hell are yeah?"
Jinx started driving heading for her apartment, "Look, I don't have much time to talk, I need you to double security, make sure no one goes upstairs unless they've been identified and invited. We've got a big problem."
"What's goin' on? What did that letter mean?"
"It means my mother's still alive, and she's probably in town, I want all the bouncers asking questions, real questions not some bullshit constant question. We're looking for the faceless."
"Shit! What dah she want?"
"I don't know Tony, we need to get a meeting together, I gata stop by Roy's and see what he knows, we need a big meeting say Thursday over precautions—"
"Jen, Thursday's Thanksgiving, ever'one's off."
"What?" Jinx snapped, she hadn't even thought about the holiday. "You're kidding, fuck, that mean's Angela's in town to see Roy."
"She comes ta town?" Tony asked obviously unaware of the family ritual.
"Yeah, she always comes to have Thanksgiving with Roy. Look, I'm really sorry Tony."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Tony brushed off but Jinx could hear the hurt in his voice, "I'll get over it, I'm not some pussy cryin' over some girl." Jinx sighed into the phone while she pulled into her parking garage.
"Alright, make sure everything's secure and I'll be over tomorrow afternoon after I check around to see if I can find her." Jinx told him and hung up. She pulled into her space next to a red and back Honda Motorcycle. Cutting the engine she hopped out and took the elevator to the below ground floor, walked through the tunnel to get to the building and took the elevator there to her apartment.
She checked all the rooms with her hands glowing with bad luck energy. The place was clear and Jinx finally gave in and crashed on her bed after she set her alarm clock.
The feline woke with a jerk to the loud ringing in her ears, slamming the alarm clock she rolled over, rather enjoying her dream.
It rang again and she hit the button.
And again, and again.
Jinx snapped her head up and looked at the clock, it read out nine-twenty. "Shit!" She ran into her shower and changed into a pair of dress pants and a button up shirt. She needed to look professional today if she was going to hold any status with the criminal community. Jinx dried her hair quickly and raced out of the apartment, pausing only to feed her cat who attempted to attack her on her way out.
Jinx didn't even grab a cab, forgoing the traffic and running at an incredibly fast pace to arrive in front of another apartment building, this one not nearly as nice as her own, but nice enough for her brother to live in, and safe too.
She ran in and took the stairs up, arriving in front of her brother's door having only spent five minutes running about the city, she hoped her outfit wasn't too messed up. Jinx straightened her shirt and knocked on the door.
It opened to reveal her brother in his boxers, "Jenny?"
"Roy put some pants on, I don't need to see that." Jinx said while pushing her brother back so she could enter his apartment.
He closed the door behind her and yelled, "Teagan we have company!"
Jinx elbowed her brother, "Teagan's here, huh?"
"Shut-up!" He said pushing her towards the kitchen while he made his way into his bedroom.
Jinx found herself in the small alley-like kitchen with her brother's girlfriend who was fixing eggs. "Oh hey Jen." She added green peppers into the pan, "Want me to make you some, it's the least I can do for you getting Roy that job."
Jinx shook her head, she had managed to secure her brother a paying internship at the L.A. Times, and Teagan was a meta-human so she could work anywhere, especially in L.A. since Angela ran the place. "Look, it's no biggy, and besides he's my brother I figured if I could give him a hand with the whole journalism thing then why not?"
"You like breakfast tacos?" She asked obviously intending to serve Jinx breakfast, the feline's stomach growled and she though it bad manners to refuse after that.
"Yeah, sure why not. I didn't have time to grab food anyway." Jinx said giving in she lifted herself up and sat on the counter-top, "So you and Roy are getting serious, huh?"
"Yeah," Teagan sighed dreamily, "Your brother's really great, you know?"
"No, not really, but please don't describe it to me because he is my brother and that's disgusting!"
Teagan smiled down at the stove and Jinx heard Roy walking back in, "Now it is not, it's beautiful Jenny. I thought Paul taught you better than that."
"I'm sorry, I got my sexual education from Tony because dad was too uncomfortable to talk to his girls about that." Jinx said knowing her brother called their parents by their first names, he had always as long as Jinx could remember.
Roy laughed, "That must've been some conversation."
"Better than from mom."
Roy shuddered and leaned against the bar that marked the boundary of the kitchen. "So what bring you here, and don't tell me it's Teagan's cooking." Jinx sighed and looked at her brother who sported a five o'clock shadow she glanced at Teagan. "Whatever you have to say to me you can say in front of Te."
Jinx nodded understanding and hoping someday she could trust someone else that much, "Mom's alive and she's coming here."
"What?" Roy asked his jaw clenching, "You mean she disappears for three years and all the sudden she's back?"
"Yea, Greg came telling me this. Angela's in town isn't she?" Roy nodded, "Did you know they got married?"
"Yeah, we went to the wedding," Roy said looking at Teagan instead of Jinx. "Jenny, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to find her, you two watch each other." Keep him safe, she thought to Teagan hoping the girl had enough since to avoid the woman.
"What's so dangerous about Lisa?" Roy asked arching a brow at the way Teagan nodded to Jinx and then turned her attention back to the food.
"It's just not good for business, Roy." Jinx said, her brother had somehow been kept in the dark about the whole meta-human strain of DNA in their family and their parents had sent him off to boarding school as fast as they could so he also didn't know much about the family business either. "The guys get all edgy when they see her…it's just not good."
"You think she'll come for Thanksgiving dinner?" Roy asked and Jinx knew where this conversation was going instantly, "'Cause we don't have a lot of room."
"I will not have that woman in my home!" Jinx snapped glaring at her brother.
"Which one?"
"Does it matter?" She asked shaking her head, "You guys always have Thanksgiving together anyway, I doubt I'd be invited to it even if it was in my apartment."
Roy shook his head and Jinx watched Teagan grab tortillas and plates, "Food's ready."
"Yeah, I'm not that hungry anymore," Jinx grumbled her appetite ruined.
"Come on Jenny," Roy said fixing a taco and putting the plate on the counter in front of Jinx, the feline looked at it and then up at her brother. "Eat, look let's talk about something cheerier and I promise I'll call you if I find out anything about Lisa." Jinx nodded and picked up her breakfast taco taking a bite and complimenting the chef.
"So anything new going on?" Roy asked attempting to lighten the mood.
"Yeah, any new loves?" Teagan asked from the kitchen.
Jinx smirked, "Uhh, you know…not really."
"I know that look," Roy said grinning, "What's their name?"
"Rachel," Jinx said her cheeks burning.
"Wait, wasn't that the name of the girl at the burger joint?" He asked and Jinx watched him raise his eyebrows at Teagan who blew a kiss at him playfully.
"Uhm, maybe I don't remember…" Jinx answered taking that moment to eat the rest of her food in one gulp.
"Jesus Jenny, no wonder Angela never invites you to Thanksgiving," Roy said berating his younger sister on her manners, "Did you even chew that?"
Jinx shook her head and swallowed, "Nope, but I'm really hungry she took my food last night."
"Aww you went on a date," Roy said and Jinx wanted to punch his lights out, "Do I have to talk to about safe sex practices."
"Don't go down any dark alleys." Jinx warned glaring at her brother. She brushed her sleeve back and looked at her watch, "Ah, I gata get back to the office, I'll catch you later."
"Running away so soon?" Teagan asked.
"Retreating really, and I need to go check around and see if anyone knows where mom is." Jinx said standing up and handing her plate to Teagan, "Thanks for the food it's really good, I see why my brother keeps you around."
"She has other uses," Roy said and Jinx cringed when Teagan popped him one on his shoulder, "Okay, I'm sorry." He followed Jinx to the door rubbing his shoulder the whole time.
"Baby," Jinx teased.
"Jerk," he answered. "Don't go driving around the city looking for trouble."
Jinx rolled her eyes, "Of course not, you know me brig brother. I'm a crazed criminal just stealing everything I can get my hands on."
"Be careful Jenny, there's some loons out there, like the H.I.V.E. Five and Johnny Rancid…"
"Thank God we have the Teen Titans to protect the city," Jinx finished rolling her eyes. "I bet you the H.I.V.E. Five aren't that that bad."
"Sure, breaking into banks and terrorizing the citizens," Roy said shaking his head at his baby sister. "Don't get any ideas, Jenny."
"Oh course not big bro." Jinx answered smirking at him and then turning to take her leave. She dialed a taxi and by the time she was on the street the yellow cab pulled up. She got in and gave him directions to the club, sitting back and letting herself relax in the backseat.
That was until something drove a hole into the engine of the cab.
Raven woke up like normal, changed into her uniform and walked out into the living room with intentions of getting herself a mug of tea only to find everyone else awake and whispering to each other.
When she was within distance to be able to discern what they were saying the group suddenly grew quiet and Raven blinked away the frustration. She moved on to the kitchen, allowing herself to ignore the pack of Titans for now since they were obviously ignoring her.
She picked up the kettle and filled it from water in the sink, replacing it on the stove and turning the fire on. "So Ravy…" Beast Boy began leaning on the counter.
"Yes?" She asked turning her head.
"Heard you uh…went out last night…"
"I don't see how that's your business." Raven replied while grabbing a mug and tea-bag with magic.
"Well…uhh, we were thinkin', you know?"
Raven turned her attention to the three sitting on the couch, "'We' huh?"
Beast Boy nodded, taking a step back from the empath. "Yeah, we have been noticing how you've been all…er—more emotional and all, so we figured you must be uhh, seeing someone…"
"So I have to be going out with someone to be nice?" Raven snapped now scowling at the green teen.
"Uhh…ahh…Cy!" Beast Boy called looking back.
The mechanical man stood up and walked over, "What BB is trying to say is that we're worried about you, and would very much like to meet your new friend." Raven knew why he said friend and looked away from Beast Boy not wanting to remind him about Terra.
"I don't think that'll work…" Raven mused now looking at her tea and willing the water to boil faster.
"We just want to be sure they're not dangerous," Robin said now walking over.
Raven felt like she was being ganged up on, this wasn't fair; here she was trying to keep a low-down on her love life like some of them needed to learn how to do. "Look, this isn't that big of a deal…"
"Friend Raven we would like to have the meeting with your jatra!" Starfire exclaimed happily from behind Robin.
Raven grabbed the kettle that whistled with magic, and poured the steaming water into her mug, "As overjoyed as I am that you wish to meet with her, I'd much prefer to keep this a personal thing…I really don't want to scare her off with my friends."
"You think we are the scary?" Starfire asked dismayed and slightly worried at the accusation.
"I think it's mighty nice of her to put up with an emotional wreck such as myself, and adding my four amazing super-heroic friends to the lot might be too much." Raven said non pulse, looking sympathetically at the alien. "No offense you guys."
"At least give us a name, we'll run a background check, make sure she checks out okay." Beast Boy pleaded and Raven shook her head.
"Yeah right, you'd probably find her and start interrogating her, I'm not stupid BB." Raven grabbed her mug by the handle, "I'm going to meditate and I'd appreciate it if you all would just let the subject drop." Raven floated up not really wanting to even give the other's a chance at conversation.
She let herself drop onto the rooftop of the Tower and looked out at the city, her eyes scanning and stopping when they found Jinx's building. She smiled to herself and pictured the tattoo on Jinx's stomach, followed by the image pulled back a few feet. She hummed and closed her eyes, finally giving in to meditating.
The empath was unsure of how much time passed but she woke form her trance with a start, her eyes flashed open to see something humungous moving around the city and she heard the annoying beeping of her communicator. "Robin, what's going on?" She asked the through the yellow electronic.
"We've got some sort of monster in the city, it…it looks like Godzilla minus the tail." Robin answered and Raven could see his confused face looking up at what she assumed was the t.v.
"You're kidding?"
"No, better get out there. Cyborg's getting the T-car and I'm grabbing my bike. Fly out with Starfire and Beast Boy." Robin ordered and Raven looked from the rooftop to find the two Titans flying a few yards from her.
Raven followed the two into the city and to her astonishment the monster did look like Godzilla, it wasn't attacking the buildings though and the empath began to realize it was looking for something.
The three tracked the monster waiting to attack when it either actual hurt someone or Robin and Cy arrived. Raven was beginning to wonder if the creature was going to do anything bad in the first place when it crashed its foot into the front of a taxi cab.
Raven dove down and watched a blonde teen smash the door open while the monster tried to peal the roof of the car off. Raven pulled the car from its grasp, fearing for the cab driver who was still stuck in the vehicle.
Then she saw a flash of orange and looked up to find the creature holding the teen in its claw-like hands. Raven's heart nearly stopped when she recognized the girl. "Jinx," she whispered in horror, forgetting about the cabby.
Then she was in the air sending as much as she could at the thing, empty cars flew up to smash into its green stomach and light poles wrapped around its legs. The creature just broke them and Raven wrapped her magic around the creature instead, feeling her rage start to take over.
The creature fell to its knees, its hands crashing to the ground and Raven dropped her magic sharply at this. Then she sent a blast knocking the thing back at least a hundred yards and into a building while she flew down to Jinx.
The girl lied limp on the ground and Raven's heartbeat was in her throat, no. She fell to her knees and gathered the girl in her arms, "Jinx, hey come on. Wake up." She could feel a few tears start to brim up and knew she had to get the injured teen away from here if she wanted any chance at keeping her alive. She let her magic surround herself and the feline and pulled both of them into Jinx's apartment. She placed the injured teen on the carpet of the girl's bedroom floor and cradled her head, "Please wake up."
Raven knew pleading wasn't going to help much and she felt for a pulse, faint, dying. She knew she had to work quickly but the pulse at least gave her a chance, empathetic healing didn't work when the patient was dead. She unbuttoned Jinx's shirt trying not to think about her actions and sent her hands up Jinx's white-cotton undershirt.
There was internal bleeding and Raven did what she could and moved her hands up higher to get to Jinx's ribcage. That was about when, to the empath's relief, Jinx whispered, "Raven."
"Don't ever do that to me again!" The other girl scolded looking down at the feline with worry practically written on her face.
"You're hands are…really cold." Jinx said hearing her voice gain more volume and strength. Raven blushed and pulled them away, hearing Jinx laugh. "I really want to kiss you but I think my right arms out of socket—no! Don't that huts like a," Jinx could only growl when Raven forced her arm back into socket. "Oooww," the girl whimpered.
"So this is the thanks I get for saving your life." Raven said to the teen who was currently glaring at her.
"Rae…why are you crying?" Jinx asked her left hand moving up to cup the empath's cheek.
"You're changing the subject." Raven said her voice softer to cushion the accusation.
"You shouldn't be crying," Jinx whispered ignoring Raven's words, she propped herself up on her right elbow, careful not to apply too much pressure, and kissed the side of Raven's cheek where the few trails of water told her where the tears had fallen.
"I just…got worried about you." Raven whispered weakly, using all that magic had pretty much depleted her abilities and now she felt practically powerless.
"You shouldn't worry about me." Jinx said her voice the same as before, she moved her lips back to Raven and felt the empath give in to the kiss, pushing Jinx back to the ground.
Jinx of course, was prepared for this and rolled on top of the other girl, while her body was pretty much smashed from the whole ordeal Raven had managed to heal the major parts and Jinx was able to ignore the remaining pain so that she could properly thank her savior.
She put her forearms on the carpet flanking Raven's head so she could hold herself up and began to worry how much long she could keep that up when she felt Raven's dancing fingers on her stomach. She moved her lips away from Raven's trying to keep her mind away form such things as she trailed her lips down the girl's neck, pausing for a moment to kiss the hickey on her neck.
She heard Raven's quiet moan and ran her tongue over the overly sensitive flesh, then moved down unclasping the girl's cape from her neck. "Now how does one get this off?" Jinx asked huskily about Raven's leotard.
"That's not fair, you have substantially more clothes than I do," Raven complained and Jinx's lips twitched into a smile.
"How much more?" Raven blushed at the feline's words and Jinx tried to blink away the desire but couldn't hold it back, "You don't…wear underwear, do you?"
Raven's face grew even redder, "Well this thing is really tight and you'd be able to see the outline of them…and it rides, you know?"
Jinx's mouth went to Raven's ear, "How tight?" She could feel the other girl wiggling beneath her and breathed slowly trying to make her pulse fall back to its normal rhythm but after seeing Raven so much she wasn't sure it would ever go back to normal.
"You once told me you had three beds…" Raven said when Jinx pulled her head away to look at the empath below her.
The feline's mouth had now gone completely dry, "Rae, are you sure?"
"I just saved your life, and twice now you've managed to leave me wanting more."
"You threw me off a cliff!"
"I'll admit that time was half-way my fault," Raven said her hands running up Jinx's sides and pulling the under-shirt up the whole way. "But now I'm demanding satisfaction."
Jinx gulped and let Raven pulled both of her shirts off, I don't care anymore, she wants this, I want this…goddess I want this. Without thinking past that Jinx somehow managed to pick up Raven and moved her the whole four feet to her bed. Sliding her down onto the comforter.
She felt Raven's arms around her neck pull her on top of the shorter girl, their lips collided and Jinx hurriedly moved Raven's leotard down off her shoulders and to her belly button. She took her time trialing kisses down the empath's chest in a narrow line down the middle to her pale stomach. She could feel Raven's arms clenching the sheets and Jinx ran her hands up Raven's arms, rubbing the girl's biceps softly while she kissed up and to the right, torturously slow.
She worked her way to Raven's breasts, licking the nub carefully and hearing a muffled groan from the girl below her. Jinx felt Ravens arms move to her sides, wrapping around tightly and Jinx herself sighed against Raven when she felt the girl's teeth bite down on her shoulder.
She leaned back and blew lightly on the nipple getting a proper reaction from Raven who whined, "Jinx, please."
"I believe this is called foreplay and by the way your hand keeps traveling downward you don't really have much of a problem with this." Jinx murmured and felt Raven's hand retreat back up from her butt. "It's okay though," Jinx whispered moving her head to just above Raven's, "Personally, I like it."
She moved her hand down to Raven's thigh and brushed her fingertips up, letting her nails scratch against the girl's exposed skin. "How can you wear that outfit when it's so cold out?"
"I find ways to warm myself up," Raven whispered, her face twisting as she tried to keep a straight face while Jinx's hands kept moving farther, and farther up. She felt Raven's hands move up to her bra and Jinx jerked her shoulder to swat the hand away.
"No," she muttered looking up at Raven with a wicked grin, "you demanded satisfaction my friend, and as the most compliant girlfriend I will give such." Jinx explained her voice somehow getting the hint of a twisted English accent.
"Well then, can you hurry up?" Raven complained and Jinx moved her head down to bite on Raven's nipple causing the girl to yelp and arch up into Jinx's mouth.
The feline hummed to herself and let her hands strip Raven of her clothes completely, pulling back the comforter and sheets to let the exposed girl slid underneath. "Now that I've made sure you're not going to freeze to death on me," Jinx whispered mostly to herself and her head suddenly dived underneath the sheets.
Raven's head leaned up not registering what had happened until she felt Jinx's teeth on her inner thigh, she groaned and felt pressure on her stomach where Jinx had put her forearms to balance herself. The empath leaned back and just let herself enjoy the other girl's attention.
Jinx bit Raven's thigh and was so close to Raven's center she could smell it. As she moved up higher she could hear the girl's encouraging moans, but they seemed to have strung together to more of a dull hum almost. She bent her head down and kissed over Raven's exposed center. The feline let her tongue move over the empath's entrance and feeling Raven's hands grasp her hair, she smiled to herself, continuing onward.
Jinx moved one hand away from Raven's stomach and felt the girl arch up but just moved her head to a better position, she flicked her tongue over Raven's hyper sensitive clit and feeling Raven's body tense up figured she had teased the girl enough and slipped one finger into Raven.
Raven inhaled sharply, feeling her breath clench and all she could think about was how unreal Jinx was making her feel, this could quite possibly be a dream for all the empath knew and she hoped that when she woke up she wouldn't have to explain herself to Starfire again. Her thoughts were interrupt when she felt Jinx start to pump her fingers into her, Raven moaned and moved her hips in rhythm to Jinx feeling the girl's hot breath against her.
Jinx's finger were working her amazingly and Raven felt her eyes roll back and Jinx sighed into her when she felt Raven's muscles tight around her digits. Still licking the empath's clit Jinx moved her hands more frantically and used her free hand to run up and down the girl's legs she heard Raven make a noise that Jinx could only assume was a growl and her hand was coated in a thick, rich smelling liquid. There was a sudden shock of something, Jinx wasn't sure just what exactly it was but suddenly it was like she could hear Raven…but the girl wasn't talking…it took Jinx a few seconds to come back around to the real world.
The feline smiled, proud of herself and shaking away the odd sensation in her head, then the taller girl launched her tongue into the empath who was still trying to catch her breath. Raven closed her eyes and whispered something incoherent about Jinx never knowing when to quit and then felt Jinx's lips press into her own.
The feline ran her tongue over Raven's mouth seeking entrance and then snaked in when Raven moved her lips again. She let the girl get a good taste of herself and then pulled back realizing how tired Raven was. Jinx guessed it must've had something to do with using so much of her powers and let herself take a little of the credit as well.
"That was…wow…" Raven purred her arms wrapping themselves around Jinx's waist.
"Good wow, or bad wow?" Jinx asked cautiously, she thought she'd been doing okay but wanted to check to be sure.
"Very, very good wow." The empath whispered, her head moving to rest on Jinx's chest just below her throat. "I'm just," Jinx heard the yawn, "Really tired now, would you mind if—"
"No, it's cool." Jinx said soothingly running her hands through the empath's violet lock, "You sleep, you look tired enough."
Raven smiled and much to Jinx's surprise, went out like a light. Unfortunately for Jinx Raven had managed to transfer some of her energy over and the girl was wide-eyed awake, just stuck lying there next to her naked girlfriend who apparently moved a lot on her sleep, a lot.
After about twenty minutes of this Jinx couldn't take it any longer and using the skills she had mastered in her lifetime of criminal activity the feline snuck out of Raven's grasp and replaced a pillow for Raven to spoon with. And carefully the girl found a shirt in her closet and went out into her living room, closing the door to her bedroom behind her so she wouldn't wake Raven.
Not sure what to do, Jinx picked up her newest Laurell K. Hamilton book and grabbed the remote to her stereosystem turning the volume way down and clicking on a cd.
Don't wake me up
I am still dreaming
The storms undone
Unravel at the seams
Jinx smiled to herself and sat down on her couch managing to grab about ten minutes of relaxation before she heard a knock on her door. She ignored it and her cell phone rang a few moments later.
She grabbed it form her pocket wondering how it had managed to be active after such an violent fall and then answered the phone without even bothering to check the caller-I.D. She wanted to smack herself for that when her sister's voice greeted her ears, "I know your home I can hear your phone ringing."
Jinx hung up the phone with a snap and considered throwing something at her sister, then thought better of it considering the events of the day, and got up from the couch grabbing her keys on the counter.
The feline opened the door enough to step out into the hallway and closed it behind her. "Well it's about time," her impatient sister snapped. Jinx looked up expressionlessly and said nothing, her eyes fell to Greg whose face had developed a nice shiner. "Are you even going to talk to me?" her sister asked annoyed.
Jinx sighed, "What do you need?"
"We came here to talk to you about mom. She wants to have a family Thanksgiving." Angela said.
"Well great for her seeing as I'm no longer in the family I bet it'll be a smash." Jinx said over-enthusiastically and fell back to her annoyed frown.
"That's the problem, seeing as Roy doesn't have that big of a place she wants to have it here."
Jinx snorted, "Tell her to go fuck herself then."
"Jen!" Angela shouted taking her role as eldest sibling now for what must've been the first time in…possibly the first time.
"Give me a reason why I should," Jinx challenged folding her arms over her chest while she leaned against her door.
"Because she'll tear you to pieces with those things!" Angela said exasperated at Jinx's refusal. "Are you crazy, did you see that monster tearing the city apart looking for you?"
"Yeah, and look I'm perfectly fine." Jinx said, she looked at the bang that fell over her eye and twitched when she noticed it was black.
"Better than fine," Angela observed when she noticed what had caused Jinx's minor reaction. "Who have you been—"
"Angela!" Jinx heard and she looked up suddenly slightly frightened by the woman in what appeared to be her early thirties walking out from the elevator.
"Oh great, you lead her here, thank you Angela. Let me guess, Roy gave you my address thinking that you would stitch the family back together." Jinx glared at her mother, "Fuck that."
"You better watch your mouth." Her mother dared and Jinx just stared angrily at the woman. "Now I'll be staying in your apartment and so will Angela."
"Says who?" Jinx asked watching as her mother so easily took over the control Jinx had taken years to gain.
"Says your mother."
"And what if I refuse?" Jinx asked raising an eyebrow.
"Then it's likely your flying friend won't be able to save you next time," her mother warned and Jinx nodded.
"So all the things will go away."
"Not all of them," her mother answered.
"All of them." Jinx corrected and then thought for a moment, "You can have one that cooks," Jinx detested her mother's cooking and could still remember when the woman attempted to make dinner, it was a disaster. "And also…"Jinx glanced back at the door, "Be quiet when you go in and get your stuff settled, then take off for lunch."
Her sister tilted her head with a knowing smirk, "So who's in there?"
Jinx glared, "Just go out, you can stay for Thanksgiving and then you all leave Friday, capuche?" Jinx looked at the three people standing outside her door, the two women nodded and she sighed, "Now be quiet and put your crap away." Jinx looked at the human-like creature carrying luggage behind her mother, "Make a new one that cooks and destroy the others."
She watch her mother's jaw clench at being ordered to do something but the older woman complied and Jinx watched at the creature disappeared and in it's place a being that looked completely human, face and all, appeared.
Jinx held her key's underneath the scanner on her door and heard the click of the door unlocking, she opened the handle and glared at the three just daring one of them to make a sudden noise.
She stepped into her living room watching her mother and brother-in-law find rooms, yet her sister followed her into the living room. "What are you listening to? Elevator music?"
Jinx glanced at her stereo and shrugged, "It's The Hush Sound, it's good music."
Angela raised a brow and then rolled her eyes, plopping on Jinx's couch, "So when did you become an old maid?"
"What? Do I barge into your house and make fun of your music?" Jinx asked sitting down next to her sister.
The older girl sighed, "You'd never make a good lawyer, you never come to my house and mock my music because my music is unmockable." She turned her head to look at Jinx, "So little sister, whose sleeping in your room?"
Jinx rolled her eyes, "As if I'd tell you."
"Aww, come on. I have to ask you, are you practicing safe sex?"
Jinx rolled her eyes, "Did you know Roy asked me that very question this morning?"
"Oh, you saw Roy? How is he?" Angela asked her flakey personality beginning to surface. Jinx never said her sister was the most emotionally stable person she had know.
"He's good, so is Teagan."
"Yeah, I got her a job, anything here to eat?" Angela asked getting up to search in Jinx kitchen.
"You're going out for lunch in five minutes." Jinx objected rolling on her couch to look at her older sibling.
"So? I'm starved…"
"Can't you just make food?" Jinx asked sighing and lying down on the couch.
"Ugh, I'm a terrible cook! You're the only one in the family who could cook…well other than dad." Angela said and her voice trailed off at this, "How was the funeral?"
"Sad." Jinx answered her own voice reflecting the sorrow.
Jinx's mother walked in just then, "Well we're all settled! Now what's to eat?"
And that was where Angela got her flightiness from. "You're going out." Jinx grumbled, it seemed the tension of the day had pretty much blown over now and Jinx just wasn't up to more fighting.
"Oh yes, well Jenny are you coming?"
"No." Jinx answered from the couch, now she was feeling tired, "Take as much time as possible, better yet, don't come back…for at least two hours." The feline added the last bit in hesitantly, not wanting to be overly rude.
"Give that sleepy-head time to recuperate." Angela said and Jinx threw a pillow at her sibling. Angela grabbed it and smiled innocently, "What? You've obviously been going at it for a while, else your hair'd be—"
"Angie!" Jinx growled and this time got up to usher her family out of the house. "Go shopping, do something, I don't care!"
They left after much griping and Jinx closed the door, sighing and actually beginning to feel tired. She looked back at her bedroom door and then opened her phone and set a time for an hour and a half. Sneakily Jinx went back into her room, took off her shirt and lied down in her bed, only to feel Raven's arms wrap around her and pull her closer.
"Who were the people?"
"My family," Jinx answered and heard Raven hum, the empath was obviously not awake enough to full comprehend this and instead just snuggled closer to Jinx who, after some time, drifted off into sleep.
Author's Side-note:
Okay, well I hoped that was alright, and I hope that I'm actually allowed to post that on otherwise I'm pretty much screwed so, whatever...
I've yet to read the Harry Potter book and had to pass it in multiple book stores and abscond form buying it because I have a copy at home, but it's at my other house half an hour away and I can't get it 'til late tomorrow afternoon. Freakin' sux, apparently there's been some issue getting to the eighth chapter and I apologize but I haven't been having that problem and I've been where the satelites don't shine so I really could've helped you out there.
Okay the song is by The Hush Sound, and the lead singer (well...co-lead singer) is a girl so there...chick rock, sort of...well they play pansy-ass music (good pansy-ass music, but still...pansy-ass) and are covered by the same record company as Fall Out Boy so they must be girly-rock.
Anyway hope you enjoyed it and thank you very much for reading, the story should be wrapping up fairly soon actually, so I'm sorry if that disappoints people but everything has an ending...
