The match began, with Beast Boy still acting as the announcer. "And they're off," he said, holding a pretend microphone to his face. "It's neck and neck around the first corner, at the straightaway it's Cy… No, it's Jinx… No, it's Cy! They're around the second corner, it's still too close to call, and the audience is on the edge of their seats!" As Beast Boy said this, he looked to the 'audience' to find that Raven and Robin had disappeared to the kitchen and that Starfire was hovering in the air above the couch. "Okay, so the crowd is not even technically in their seats! But still, it's an exciting match, folks, still tied coming around the final corner!" Jinx was getting a little desperate, she had never lost and she didn't want to start now. Both players had been leaning in the direction of the corners, as most game players do when they get in to the zone. Jinx made a show of leaning just a little too far, falling into Cyborg's lap, causing his concentration to break for just a fraction of a second. Beast Boy continued his running commentary. "And the winner is… Whoa, it's too close to call! We'll have to go to the judges for this one… And the winner is… JINX!" He yelled, just as the winner screen flashed, displaying her player. She cheered, raising her arms over her head and laughing. She smiled up at the defeated half-robot whose lap she was still lying in.
"Uh, I can't actually get up," she admitted. Cyborg gave a devilish smirk.
"Oh, you can't, can you?" He said, tossing his controller away. Jinx barely had time to register that remark before Cyborg was upon her, tickling mercilessly.
"Hey!" She gasped. "Not fair- I- I can't even- move my legs!" She choked out between laughing. "Titans?! Little help?!" She squirmed, trying to get out of his clutches, but it was impossible. He continued to tickle her until tears streamed down her cheeks. "I give, I give!" she shrieked. He stopped. "Geez, I didn't think heroes could be so ruthless," she wheezed, still in Cyborg's lap. Cyborg pulled her back up and set her back in her seat on the couch.
"Yeah, well. I let you win the tournament, so I had to win something," he said. Jinx smacked his metal arm.
"You did not let me win, jerk! It was tied the whole way through!"
"Beast Boy, while fanning yourself with your Monopoly money isn't technically against the rules, it's still very irritating," Raven informed her green teammate.
"You're just jealous, Rae. Hey, what do you say we get married, pool our financial resources?" He waggled his eyebrows across the table at Raven.
"Because that's definitely against the rules," Robin told him, glaring.
Jinx took her turn. "Go to jail. So, nothing new," she sighed. She'd been in and out of the jail square the entire game. Jinx was beginning to notice a parallel to real life. "How do you even win this game? When we played at the Hive, it was just whoever quit last wins. Villains do not have very good attention spans, especially when they're losing," she explained.
Cyborg scoffed. "Neither do heroes. We play 'whoever has the most money by the time someone gets bored wins'. The only reason we're still playing is because Raven doesn't want BB to do his victory dance." Raven looked over at Cyborg, irritated.
Robin suddenly groaned. "I'm done! You win, Beast Boy," he growled. Everyone except Raven and Beast Boy sighed in relief.
Beast Boy jumped out of his seat. "Yeah! I'm the CHAMP!" He yelled. He turned into a cat and started dancing on the table, then shifted into a worm, and did the worm. Jinx was beginning to see why Raven hated this 'victory dance'. Suddenly, Beast Boy changed back into himself and grabbed Raven by the collar. He pulled her to him and planted a kiss on her lips. He pulled back just as quickly when Raven's powers caused the lights to flicker and for several small objects to explode. Jinx dodged a shower of sparks raining from the ceiling.
"Watch it," she complained. "If the Tower catches on fire, I won't be able to escape on my own." Cyborg shrugged.
"I'd save you," he said. Jinx looked at him.
"Really? Okay, wait, if you could only save one, me or the Gamestation, what would you save?"
He shrugged again. "Probably still you. I'm a hero, remember?" Jinx looked confused.
"Yeah, and I'm a villain. Why would you save your enemy?"
Cyborg shrugged once more. "Well, for an enemy, you're kinda cute," he offered.
"Kinda?!" Jinx shrieked. "Oh, that's it, when I regain the use of my legs you are so dead," she told him, giggling. She fell over on to him again, laughing. "Hey, lean down," she told him. He did. Jinx wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to drag his head down. He just laughed. Jinx suddenly noticed the space, or rather, the lack of space between their faces. She tried to pull away, blushing, but Cyborg held her where she was. He seemed to forget that Robin was in the room for a moment, and he pulled her closer. They both closed their eyes as their lips touched. When they pulled apart, Jinx noticed that the Boy Wonder was completely speechless, his jaw hanging open.
Starfire giggled. "You were correct, Friend Jinx! Both Beast Boy and Cyborg have admitted their feelings to you and Raven before Robin admitted his to me! I owe you what we agreed," she said knowingly. If it was possible, Robin's jaw dropped further.
"You… You know?!" He spluttered.
"Oops," Starfire blushed. "I believe we need to have the talk." The alien dragged Robin away by the wrist.
"So, anyone up for Twister?" Cyborg asked, attempting to dispel the awkward atmosphere. Jinx rolled her eyes and kissed him. "No? Well, I like this too."
