Roommates

Very interesting. Some people thought that BB/Jinx was a couple in this story. Well let me tell you, I haven't completely lost my mind. Yet.

Bad Day

The day was not going well for Beast Boy or Jinx. Each had been beaten up rather brutally in the previous fight between the Hive and the Titans. Then they had been thrown into each other about twenty feet above the ground. Needless to say, they were a little bruised up.

And now each had woken up on a very hard mattress in a room neither recognized. Beast Boy then realized he was in the Titan's Med-Lab. He looked around, gradually remembering everything that had happened.

At the same time Jinx was still rubbing her eyes, trying to make them see something she knew. Jail, she thought finally, I was found when I was out and taken to prison. Then she sat up and turned to her right. Beast Boy's and her eyes met and Jinx realized where she must be.

They both screamed.

"What the HELL am I doing here?" Jinx yelped.

"What the HELL are you doing here?" Beast Boy yelled in the same instance.

Then the two silenced and thought for a second. The together they shrieked: "YOU TELL ME!"

At that precise moment, Cyborg, Raven, Robin and Starfire burst through the door.

Beast Boy started in at once. "What's she doing here?" he asked pointing accusingly at Jinx. "Isn't she supposed to be in jail?" Jinx crossed her arms and pursed her lips, gazing at the Titans for answers.

Robin cleared his throat and began. "There was a little, uh…mishap…during the battle, and you two…uh—"

Here Cyborg interrupted him and gave it to the pair straight. "Raven tied you guys together with a long-term spell." Short and sweet, well, maybe not sweet. But it sure was short.

Both Jinx and Beast Boy turned to Raven. The half-demon just managed to keep from swallowing hard under those two steely gazes. She suddenly felt like she was a little kid who had gotten caught with her hand in the cookie jar and her parents were glaring at her about to give the punishment. But she managed to retain her normal ice-queen look despite the iron-melting glares aimed at her. Now THAT took some control!

"That is correct", Raven spoke coolly.

"Can I ask why?" Jinx asked coldly.

"NO!" Beast Boy snapped at her then turned again to Raven. "Why'd ya do it?"

"It was a complete accident. I would never use magic against one of my friends." Beast Boy had a look on his face that said he didn't believe her whole-heartedly. So she added "In battle."

There was silence for a matter of moments in the infirmary. Then Jinx asked "How long does this spell last?"

Robin looked directly into the witches pink eyes. "It may be permanent." Both victims were quiet as they processed this new data. Then it dawned on Beast Boy.

"You mean I'm stuck to this WITCH for the rest of my life?" he shrieked. "Just shoot me now!"

I figured that was as good a place as any to drop off.
