Roommates

Okay, I admit it, that last one was pretty short. I hope this one will help you forgive me.

Worse Day

"Now Beast Boy" Robin said calmly. "Let's not get irrational."

The green teen took several deep, cleansing breaths and nodded to Robin. "Okay" he stated. "I'm calm." His face became expressionless, as if it was hiding a barely contain anger.

He paused for another breath. "But I think I deserve to be a little 'irrational'."

"If I could point—" Jinx began.

"Shut up!" the changeling snapped so fast that Jinx jumped and fell to the floor. He turned back to Robin, speaking much more calmly. "Now, I don't go over the edge very often, but…" Everyone knew what happened when he did go over. Beast Boy's eyes hardened slightly, and…

"…But if I have to stay in the same room with HER one more second I'm going to commit MURDER!" He finished in a scream.

Luckily (or unlucky, depending on whose view you take), while Beast Boy had been ranting Cyborg had loaded a syringe with anesthetic and had stepped quietly behind the shapeshifter (let's pretend that BB didn't hear him, I know that's not possible but use your imagination). Beast Boy fell to the sheets unconscious.

"Sorry, buddy" was all Cyborg said before started cleaning the needle.

Jinx took one look at the green boy, another at the syringe and quickly shut her mouth. Who knew what these people did to their prisoners. No one paid her any heed now, though Raven did have a very close eye on the witch.

"So" Cyborg began as he replaced the needle. "What do we do now?" All eyes turned to Robin.

"The only thing WE can do is wait and watch", the Boy Wonder sighed. "Raven you better get to work looking for a way to undo what you did. Everyone else will take turns guarding these two." Jinx mentally sighed dismally. She should have known that that phrase would have come up sooner or later.

"Sorry" Cyborg mumbled, and he suddenly snapped a pair of cuffs onto Jinx's hands. They covered every bit of skin and cloth to just past her elbows. The sorceress couldn't even see one of her fingernails.

Then, Raven, Robin, and Starfire filed out. The cybernetic teen and the young witch were left alone. You couldn't really count Beast Boy as he was out cold.

Jinx watched as Cyborg turned on a few computer screens and fiddled with some keyboards. She then shifted her gaze to her binds. The witch concentrated to form an unlucky blast, no luck. She couldn't even wiggle her little finger. The Titans were smarter than they looked. They somehow knew she couldn't use her powers without hand-movement. Jinx frowned in bitter disappointment.

Jinx felt a pair of eyes on her. She looked up to see Cyborg gazing at her. How could this happen? Jinx thought before speaking.

"Nice cuffs" the witch began, raising her head to meet the robotic teen's gaze. "So…you obviously prepare for things like this."

"Something like that" he answered simply.

"Has this happened before? Or something like it?"

"Sorry Jinx", Cyborg seemed to smirk at her attempts at conversation. "But we Titans don't start friendly conversations with imprisoned criminals."

Jinx simply nodded in a kind of Thought so kind of way. Keeper and criminal fell into silence that last word had been spoken. Jinx found herself gazing rapturously at Cyborg as he went about his chores sterilizing the various syringes and other medical equipment. Several times he caught her and she would swing her head away quickly. Am I embarrassed, she questioned herself.

Then Robin took Cyborg's place. Robin stood directly in front of the spot where Jinx sat on the hard bed. He stared down at her expressionlessly. She began wishing she WAS in jail, if it only meant escaping that hard mask. The next-to-best/worst-thing happened: Beast Boy began awakening.
