Chapter 9:
Italian will be written in italics
It was dark…
The room was dark and silent, things were scattered all around. Things like shirts, wigs, makeup, etc. On the side of the room sat Jinx. She stared at herself in her mirror in the desk where she kept her stuff. Normally she would not do that since she was not vain in any way. But today was a special day, and she needed to see that she looked all the way what she really was.
An expert in martial arts, a mistress of weapon manipulation, a goddess in the art of incapacitation, and above all… a cold blooded killer, no, more like a weapon really.
She would often sit in her room and wonder if that was all… was she only worth the lives that she took? Or was there a deeper meaning into which why god had put her where she was, had god created her to destroy those that did not deserve to live? Had he put her there for some other purpose that was hidden between what she did and what she believed? Had something gone wrong and she had skidded off somewhere else? Or had god simply spat her out into the world because she was a left over? A freak, a flawed seed in his garden to be disposed of and sent to hell once her life had ended?
She shook her head and chuckled.
"What's wrong with me?" She muttered while smiling lightly to herself. She looked up and stared at her reflection, glaring in determination. Today was the day. Today, she would complete her Hive Academy Operation once and for all, she didn't need that sort of thinking, she had to get her sites on the strategy, on the target itself… Brother Blood.
She stood up and opened the drawer on the table. There, resting eerily was a killer's best friend; well it depends on what kind of killer you were. For example, there were killers who specialized in the art of strings; string, simple as they may be could actually be very effective weapons, hung over a wooden plank with a loop on the end in the middle of a room, the thin fiend could be invisible. Invisible that is until it got around your neck, the next thing you know, you are being strangled to death.
Then there's the poison experts; a bunch of sissies in some people's eyes for not wanting to get their hands dirty and letting the poison do their job for them, but for others, terrifyingly efficient, an advice for everyone is never to mess with a poison specialist, you might end up dying while harmlessly eating chocolate.
Jinx specialized on both those "arts" and many more, like all of her colleagues she had been trained to know how to do all of these things, but her favorite and most reliable one was her gun. She lifted it up and stared at it for a moment before turning back to the drawer and retrieving the bullets.
She skillfully put them into the gun and then put it inside her boot. Then she smirked and kept grabbing weapons and stuffing them into her clothing. When she was done she looked at herself in the mirror to see if there were any bulks in her clothing.
She smiled as she saw none; Brother Blood would never know what hit him. The door suddenly opened
"Hey Jinx! Hurry up! We're gonna be late for our assignment!" A squeaky voice said from behind her. She smirked, just in time.
"I'll be right there Gizmo." She said without looking at him. She heard him give an approving grunt and then the door closed. She chuckled darkly and turned around.
"It's show time." She whispered, then she pulled her earpiece and put it in her ear; instantly the device turned the color of her ear and camouflaged so not to be easily detected. Then she walked out of the room.
((Line Break))
Triela sat in the helicopter with Henrietta, Claes, and Rico. They were all wearing yellow black cloaks that were assigned to guards at the Hive that Jinx had stolen and given to them 2 days ago. Triela had been shocked at first that Jinx had wanted to share that mission.
Jinx was very possessive, once she got her sites on a target she would do anything to get rid of that target before anyone else, it didn't manner if it was a carton figure in the training field or a real criminal on a runaway car. It didn't matter what, Jinx was always the first one, the elite force among the people in section two, the first machinery girl to be promoted.
Triela had thought that when Jinx became a supervisor, she would forget all about them. Jinx didn't hang out with them as much as before, but she still treated them like equals, not like the others, that would treat them like idiots, or too seriously, or with fear, or hatred, but Jinx was different, she was able to understand them because she had been one of them.
She turned her gaze from the window to the others, then smiled and nudged Henrietta. The girl seemed startled and turned to look at her.
"See there? That's our infiltration target." Triela said pointing at the giant T on the island. Henrietta gasped and pressed her hands against the glass, her eyes shining with admiration.
"It's incredible!" She exclaimed smiling, Rico turned and joined Henrietta at the window and gasped.
"It's… enormous!" She cried, Claes smiled and turned to look at the tower before frowning.
"For super heroes, you'd think they wouldn't want much attention, instead their house is a giant letter, isolated from the city with a flat roof to land on and no good security, it pains me to see the so called 'protectors' of this city being so careless! Don't they know that ones you lose your fortress there is very little chance of winning?" Claes said. Triela turned to look at her and smiled.
"Better for us right? That way we can rescue Phantom with no inconveniences!" She said, showing all of her teeth in her confident smile. Claes sighed, but nodded. Triela gazed after the Tower that was now a few meters away and sighed. True, these Titans should have been more careful not to stand out, if they had been working for the organization, they would have gotten a very big reprimanding along with a slap to the face.
But then again, they didn't know that the organization even existed! Or at least not yet, she briefly wondered what their reaction would be?
Triela smirked and looked out the window. The Titans were really going in for a shock.
((Line Break))
Danny gazed at the window. According to the sky it was only 1 hour till the infiltration started. He was not worried though, he knew that Jinx had a plan, she always had a plan, and from what he had learned they were generally good plans.
He smiled to himself as he realized that perhaps her plan only got to the part where she slaughtered Brother Blood, but still, there was the problem that the Titans were heroes, and no hero in his right mind would let someone die while in their guard, not even an evil villain mastermind.
But in any case, he really doubted that Jinx would let them get in her way, no way in hell would she ever leave a mission unfinished. If the Titans did manage to get her to stop before they could save Brother Blood that would be a first time.
He almost laughed out loud as he imagined the look on Jinx's face if Robin or any other one of the Titans got in her way! A chuckle made it out as he imagined the Titans' faces when the truth about them was revealed.
"What's so funny?" Danny almost jumped, and looked up frowning lightly as he saw the cloaked telepath standing in front of him. Her expression was neutral, but it was obvious to him that she was regarding him with curiosity rather than with the contempt that her voice had previously shown.
"Oh… nothing really, I was merely imaging my sister's reaction to… something." He muttered still staring at her blankly. Raven raised an eyebrow. Just a second ago she had felt various emotions coming from him, all of them felt with an additional nostalgic warm fondness, but now she couldn't get anything from him.
It was as if he had suddenly decided not to feel anything, was it possible that he was really blocking his emotions to the point of making them disappear temporarily? Or was it just something that he did unconsciously?
He tilted his head as if asking what she was thinking. She decided that she wanted to find out more, so she pulled out the chair and sat down with her hands together on the table. Phantom stared at her with questioning blue eyes.
She smirked.
"Drop the act; I know you're smarter than that." She said. Phantom tilted his head and smiled the smile of a small child.
"It is true I am smarter that I look, but I might not be as smart as you think I am, my knowledge is more programed than learned really." Phantom said, the small smile that graced his lips was sad, as were his eyes as he gazed at her.
"What do you mean?" Raven asked, Phantom turned away and smiled as he stared at the sky.
"Hmm… it's almost time." He whispered ominously. Raven raised an eyebrow and turned her head to stare at the spot where he was staring at, but found nothing special, except that it was till dark.
Raven sighed and stood up; she walked towards the door and left the room, locking the door behind her. Little did she know, the lock on the door would be of little use against Phantom's powers.
((Line Break))
Jinx rode on a silent boat along with Mammoth, Gizmo, Kyd Wykkyd, and the 4 cloaked guards (more specifically Triela, Henrietta, Claes, and Rico). She sat there, staring at the tower, trying to analyze the best infiltration route she could find, but most importantly, an escape route for 6 people.
The roof was a good guess, they would be able to get out if Danny was strong enough to fly them to shore, that is if they were not being pursued, in which case it would be best to either let themselves be captured and explain the situation, or leave one boat unharmed and escape with it.
Jinx was giving the thought of escape a lot of thought. It would be better to kill Brother Blood out of the Titan's site and to escape unnoticed, after all, the organization didn't need a bunch of babbling teenagers knowing about them and going to tell the Justice League about them, because if they did, then they would put their hacker Batman to pick out info about them.
Although, even if that did happen the organization's files were so well guarded that by the time the bat got into the system the files would have been moved printed out into paper and deleted from the system or sent to a special file bank in the middle of the organization where the only way to gain access to them would be to physically infiltrate the building and steal the manuals.
And as super heroes, that wasn't acceptable, considering that the Justice League was against the wall with the Government, after all, it was them who had a giant nuclear cannon in the sky! So if they even got close to the organization, they would be practically declaring war on them.
That was the last thing anyone needed, but if they insisted on sticking their noses where they weren't needed, then that was what most likely would happen. Jinx smirked and looked over her shoulder to Triela who was sitting behind her. Kyd Wykkyd, Mammoth and Gizmo were seated in front of the 5 girls, meaning that this would be the perfect time to attack.
She signaled to the girls to get ready, she saw them tense under their cloaks as the shoreline of the island came into view. She signaled for them to wait and saw them relax slightly as the boat made its way towards the giant T.
Then she motioned for them to pounce at her signal and saw them tense even more. The boat arrived at land.
"Finally!" Mammoth whispered as he got out. Kyd Wykkyd and Gizmo nodded in agreement and hopped out of the boat, then turned to look at Jinx.
"Hey Jinx, get out outta there! We have to find cover!" Gizmo whispered urgently. Jinx smirked and stood and got out of the boat slowly. Then she turned around.
"ORA!" She cried in Italian ("Ora" means "Now" in Italian). The girls pounced, they jumped up in the air and before any of them could react, Triela and Claes were on top of Mammoth pressing his pressure points knocking him unconscious, while Rico hit Kyd Wykkyd on his neck's pressure point, and Henrietta knocked Gizmo out.
"Good, now let's hide them, use the cloaks to cover them and put them over there on those bushes." Jinx ordered.
"Yes!" The girls said in unison as they proceeded to drag the motionless villains into the bushes. Then they pressed against the wall and walked towards the secret underground entrance that not even the Titans themselves knew about.
They slipped in and landed on the dark basement.
"Okay, here is the plan, Brother Blood is going to try to take over the city using the tower's main frame computer, we have to eliminate him before he does that, Triela, Claes, Brother Blood is going to send his minions to get rid of the Titans, I want you two to blend in with them and help get them to an isolated area, unharmed and conscious, Brother Blood will probably want to get rid of them himself after this is all over, so I want you two to stand guard with them, make believe you are on Brother Blood's side till I get there." Jinx commanded.
"Right." They both said.
"Rico, I want you to blend in with Brother Blood's bodyguards, tell me when he's moving and inform me of any inconveniences." Jinx said, Rico nodded.
"Finally, me and Henrietta will look for Phantom, contact me if anything goes wrong, we'll meet in the holding place where the Titans will be put in, our goal is to finish up before first light in the morning, now people let's roll." Jinx said.
"Right!" Then they ran off in different directions.
((Line Break))
(AN: I won't add the scene in which the Titans get defeated because I'm lazy and because I frankly think you are all going "get to the point already!" which I'm sure you are, this had been really tedious! It has been hard to continue this story, don't worry, it's not over just yet, I'm not one to abandon my stories like other people)
Brother Blood was happy. It was a giddy word to describe such a dark man. But that was the only way to describe how he was feeling at the moment. The Titans were now being held in their own basement by his guards.
He had complete control of the T tower that would soon become his new school's headquarters, he was literally the King of Jump City now that the Titans were captured, and would soon be disposed of.
This was indeed a glorious day. He now stood in the Titan's living room gazing out the window in satisfaction. Then he noticed something in the reflection. One of his cloaked bodyguards had remained in the room. He turned around and with an air of irritation glared at the guard.
"Are you deaf? I specifically asked you to scram!" He said. The guard nodded and walked out of the room quietly. Brother Blood frowned as he realized how small the bodyguard was. Then he shrugged his shoulders and turned around, probably nothing to worry about.
Outside the doors Rico took out her communicator as she entered the bathroom.
"Rico to Jinx, Rico to Jinx, do you copy? Brother Blood has kicked me out of the room." She whispered into the device.
"Jinx to Rico, I copy you, he did? Damn… all right, there's not much you can do now… change of plans, I'll find Phantom, you go over to the basement where they are keeping the Titans, Henrietta will be with you shortly." Jinx said over the static.
"Understood, over and out." Rico said, then ran out of the bathroom and headed for the stairs.

Danny sat in his cell with his eyes closed. The invasion had started and he just needed to wait a few seconds.
