Chapter 16

Bursting lights. Cracking walls. Jinx jerked her eyes. What is happening? Where is Winter? Jinx sat up. She heard screaming and crying.

Jinx put on her usual dress and did her hair before walking out of her room. There were holes in the wall. Cracks in the wall. Everywhere.

Floating black objects. She ducked as a rock nearly hit her in the head. She ran to living room. Jinx eyes widened.

Raven sat on the floor crying her eyes out. The entire room was chaos. Terra and Kole were running around trying to knock away the flying objects.

Cyborg were dodging everything coming their way. Robin and Starfire trying to calm Raven down.

"What is going on?!?!"

Kid turned her way. He ran over and handed her a peice of paper. Jinx dodged objects flying everywhere.

She got back into the elevator. She read the note.

Dear Titans,

You dont know me. You dont know anything. Well someone does. Wonder who? I hope we will enjoy our new toys.

At the end of the note was a picture. Melvin,Timmy,Teether, and...Winter. They had ropes strapped around their necks. Standing in front of them was...Jinx crumbled the note in her hand. The note burned to ashes.

Her eyes glowed. She bursted down the elevtor door. Everyone stared. Jinx screamed. Glass shattered and flew everywhere. Jinx clenched the ashes in her hand.

Kid ran over. He waved his hand in front of her.

"Jinx! Jinx! You have to stop!"

Her eyes glowed brighter. Her hair floated above her head. Kid stood trying to get Jinx down while the others were still focused on Raven.

"JINX!!"

By then she nearly exploded the entire room. There were holes in the floor. Kid reached his hand out to Jinx.

She stared at it.

"Jinx..."

She reached her hand out before stopped. He stood at her. Jinx reached out and grabbed his hand. Before collapsing.

Jinx woke up in a cold sweat. Kid was asleep beside her in her chair. How did they fix my room this fast? They didnt look through her stuff did they?

Jinx sat up. Her memory returned to her. The picture. She went to freshen up. After putting on a bra, crop leather jacket, and jean short shorts.

She was about to leave the room when Kid was in front of her in a flash.

"Where you going?"

"To fix this mess."

"I'll bring the rest!"

Before Jinx could deny it he was gone. She opened the door to the titans. Raven didnt have her cloak. She wore a black crop top and jean shorts. She looked a mess.

"Jinx knows how to fix this!"

Robin raised an eyebrow (or whatever makes one eye bigger than the other.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes."

She pushed aside of them and headed out of the tower. When they reached Jump City Jinx stopped at an hidden alley.

"What are we doing here?" asked BeastBoy.

"Just wait."

Jinx went and picked up a crowbar in the far corner on the left. She put the end inside a hole in the wall. She pushed it towards the right.

The wall started to move. By the time she stopped the was a tunnel where the wall should have been. She dropped she crowbar.

"How did you know about this?" Cyborg asked.

"Dont ask."

They continued down the tunnel until the saw a red light. Jinx stopped in her path followed by the other titans.

"Wait."

Jinx continued walking leaving the other confused. She walked towards the light. It was a bunker. There was a bed, pool table, and a mini fridge.

Sitting on the bed throwing darts at a dart board was Red X. He turned at the sound of Jinx's voice.

"So you came back?"

"You know exactly what I'm here for."

"Do I?"

"Give them back."

Red X stood up and walked closer to her till they were at most a foot apart.

"To whom do you speak of?"

Jinx glared at him.

"Don't give me that bullshit."

"That's what I do best."

He leaned in further. Jinx grabbed him by the chin and looked him in the eye.

"Listen up. I dont love you. I never have loved you. I never will love you. Ever! So give me the goddamn kids back!!"

X took a step back.

"So you never did love me?"

Jinx nodded still glaring at him.

"That's all I had to hear."

He took a remote and pressed the one button on it. A wall opened up containing the kids inside a cage. What is he doing? Jinx then realized what she just said to him.

"X wait!"

He threw a smoke bomb on the ground. Seconds later, he was gone. I just told the guy that loved me with all his heart that I never loved him back.

What the fuck is wrong with me?! Jinx put her hand over her face before hexing the cage to let the kids come out. They went running to Raven and the other Titans.

Winter stood behind Kid trying to pull his mask of by pulling on his hair.

"Oooowwwww!!"

Jinx walked past them without saying a word.

"Jinx, how did you know him?"

It was Robin. Jinx turned around to face him.

"None of your goddamn buisness."

"It is my buisness when my team is involved in it."

"Nothing!"

She procceded to walk away cursing underneath her breath.

"Robin dude!" Kid said.

"Sorry but this is important when it comes to my team."

Robin looked over to Raven as if saying something. Raven nodded. She rose her hands and a black rope formed together. It wrapped around Jinx pulling her back.

"What the hell?!?!"

She struggled as the rope continued to pull her back. The rope disintegrated leaving her facing Robin.

"One last time. How do you know him?"

"Robin!!"

"FOR GOD'S SAKE LEAVE ME ALONE. I USE TO DATE RED X THAT'S HOW I KNOW HIM. I LIVED WITH HIM HERE BEFORE I GOT WITH THE HIVE. HAPPY?!?!"

The Titans stood in shock. Winter stood staring at her. Jinx had tears in her eye. Her eyes glowed bright pink and the roof collapsed leaving a wall of bricks separating her from them.

She ran. Away from the Titans. Away from Winter. Away from him. She didn't stop till she was out of that tunnel.

She ran back to the tower not daring to look back. She walked to the edge of the bay. She sat crossing her legs. She ran her fingertips across the water staring at the riples in the water.

She could hear as the other Titans got closer. Her eyes were bright pink from anxiety, anger, and depression. She stuck her hand in the water.

The Titans dared not to say a word. They silently walked into the tower. Robin avoided making any contact with Jinx. Kid stayed behind. He slowly walked up to Jinx.

Hs sat down next to her. He stared at her as she moved her hand gently through the water.

"Jinx..."

She turned her head towards him. She stared at him with her glowing pink eyes.

"What do you want Kid?"

"Earlier..."

Her eyes grew brighter when he mentioned it.

"What?"

"Is it true?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You never asked."

"I'm asking now. How did you meet him?"

Jinx hesitated before speaking.

"I met him while on a mission given to me by the Brotherhood. I was told to find documents from a military base in california. I ended up finding out X was looking for the documents too. We comprimised. I would get the documents. I would tell him what was on it. Then it just happened. He asked me out. I said yes. We dated. But later on I joined the HIVE. I felt more distant from him from then on. Later on I found out that See-More liked me. That made things even more complicated. The HIVE didn't know about X. Later I told him how I felt. He said it's ok. From then all he tried so hard to impress me. To win me over. He really did love me. Then I had to go and crush his heart..."

She realized Kid was watching her as she spoke. Like he was acually intrested. Had I just said that to him?

"Oh."

That's all he could say? Seriosly?

"What about you Kid? Any other relationhips?"

"Other?"

"You know what I meant."

"Well no. I never really loved anyone as much as I love you."

Jinx's eyes returned to normal. Kid smiled at her. She rolled her eyes.

"Did you have any family Jinx?"

"I had no siblings. My parents are dead."

"Is it ok for me to ask how?"

"I was only 4. My parents worked at a military base. They were told to go on a mission near the grand canyon. They were in charge of mining a kryptonian gem. That day I had been with them. They never trusted babysitters when they first found out I inherated my mother's power. They were mining the gem when there was an attack. It was some Doomsday guy. My mother and father stood in front of me as he fought Superman. Superman hit his fists on the ground. Cracks emerged in the ground. Doomsday fell in. My parents dodged the cracks...But fell in the canyon. I couldn't save them in time. I had been on my own after that. I sneaked my way on a boat. Made it to America. Found my way to Jump City. The Brotherhood found me. And so on."

"Wow. Sorry for your loss..."

"Yea. From that day on I hated heros. It's not like I was born to be good in the first place."

She noticed Kid had gotten closer as shs rambled on about her. She took a deep breath.

"Well- we should- um- get back to- the tower."

"Yea.."

They walked to the tower in silence. When they made their way to the main room the Titans were in some sort of meeting. Everyone turned their attention to her.

Kid ignored them and left. Jinx stood there. Cyborg looksd at Robin. What is up with these guys and looks? Robin cleared his throat.

"Um Jinx. I would-like to apoligize-for earlier. I should have respected your bounderys."

He smiled nervously. Jinx faced her back to him. She walked down the hall. She stopped.

"And Robin-"

Her eyes glowed as the floorboard underneath him broke and his foot was stuck.

"Apoligy not accepted."

She sashayed down the hall towards her room. Kid was sitting on her bed.

"What are you doing here?"

"Uh I didn't tell you earlier but..."

He held out his hands. Lucky was laying down. Jinx ran over and picked her up.

"Where did you find her!"

"Outside."

Jinx played with Lucky. Kid exited the room leaving her to play. Jinx put her down on the side of the bed. She looked at Winter sleeping peacfully on her bed.

She is like a daughter to me. Like family. And I am not letting anything break that.

Not now. Not ever.

Hi guys I hope you enjoy this. Tata
