It was surprisingly easy for Jinx to reconcile, or at least pretend to reconcile, with her old team.
She couldn't really blame them for thinking she was dead. However, there were plenty of other things she could definitely blame them for, such as when Mammoth convinced a scrawny kid, named Adidas or something, that everybody was going to tackle the guards and run. Of course, when the kid tried, he was quickly overwhelmed and dragged off. Well, Jinx couldn't blame them entirely for that, the kid had been hitting on her nonstop and he was a total narcissist, but…
She could totally blame her old team for when Mad Mod tried to hypnotize the guards and accidentally hypnotized himself in the process. Billy Numerous made him pretend to be a chicken for half an hour. Well, of course, it was kind of his fault for getting himself hypnotized, but still, no old man deserved to be laughed at for that long, right?
But there was an incident that was completely their fault. Gizmo told Control Freak that Mad Mod said that he was a fat, worthless fanboy. See-More told Mad Mod that Control Freak called him a pathetic, weak old geezer. They then set up a betting ring for the resulting fight, which was completely wrong. Right? Even Jinx had to admit that seeing Control Freak claim the victory by sitting on his opponent was the most entertaining thing she'd ever seen behind the prison walls.
Jinx shook these thoughts out of her head. She had more important things to think about, such as her escape. Actually, she didn't have to think about it for very long. Before the evening was up, Gizmo informed her that a person with teleportation powers found a weak spot in between the power cancellers, and that he was going to transport anyone who was willing to pay outside of the prison, thus out of the range of the power cancellers, and then into Jump. Jinx waved her stack of winnings from the Control Freak versus Mad Mod match (What? It would look suspicious if she didn't bet, never mind the fact that she won over two hundred bucks) and in moments found herself in downtown Jump City. As the villains scattered, Jinx found a more hidden area and flipped open the communicator Robin had entrusted her with. "I'm out, teleporter dude's out, Kitten and friends are out, and Hive's out. I suggest you get your butts downtown," she said without preamble. With her warning, only about two hours elapsed until all the escapees were rounded up, including a staged arrest for Jinx. Jinx, of course, was the reason it had taken so long. When the Titans found her in hiding, her response was "What? I'm supposed to try my hardest to escape. You really didn't think the escape stopped as soon as you got out the doors, did you?"
Jinx spent the rest of the night in her cell, scribbling notes on the optimal placement of power cancellers to prevent another incident like that. The next morning, she and all the other prisoners were marched out into the prison yard for what apparently qualified as 'exercise'. Jinx stared critically at what passed for a fence around the track they were walking around, and then attempted to break a wire. The link snapped easily. She was preparing to break another, but a shout of "Keep moving!" from the guards stopped her. On her next lap around, Jinx noticed that more of the links around the area were snapped, resulting in a small hole. She watched the three inmates in front of her each break one more small piece of chain link, none stopping for long enough to cause suspicion. Jinx snapped another link as she passed, as did the prisoner behind her, and the one behind them. By the third lap, the hole was almost big enough for someone as small as Gizmo to fit through.
Almost.
And of course, the kid had to try.
It really was his own fault that he got stuck.
Jinx pulled on Gizmo's leg, trying to dislodge him before gaining the attention of the guards, which was not helped by the fact that Gizmo was squirming and screeching. Mammoth stood on the other side, pulling as well, while See-More kept watch and Billy Numerous attempted to keep people from stopping to see (and laugh at) what was going on. "Would you- Ow- Stop moving?!" Jinx hissed, not doing anything to calm Gizmo's hysterics. Jinx rolled her eyes and tugged harder, muttering "I swear to god, you are the only 'boy genius' dumb enough to get stuck in a hole. I cannot believe I ever chose to associate with you."
Luckily, no one noticed her little slip of past tense. See-More was too busy running up and whispering "Guards!" Jinx immediately released her hold on Gizmo's leg and continued walking, as if she hadn't been involved in the little scene in the first place. Mammoth, See-More, and Billy Numerous followed, leaving Gizmo where he was and pretending not to hear his desperate cries of "Guys! Wait up! Where are you going?! Don't leave me!"
Gizmo was herded back in during lunch, sporting extra restraints and a fair number of bandages. "Alright!" He snapped at the guard who was shoving him forward. Jinx barely looked up from her food as Gizmo sat down at their table, crossing his arms and glaring at his teammates. Jinx swallowed her bite of food slowly, pretending to savor the taste, before turning to beam down at him with a happy grin.
"Creamed corn?" She asked cheerfully, pushing her tray across the table towards him.
"I hate you all," Gizmo muttered in return, grabbing his own food.
"The feeling's mutual. Pass the salt?" Gizmo just looked at her incredulously. "Fine," Jinx huffed, reaching across him to pick up the saltshaker herself, purposely shoving his food aside in the process. "Not like I need you people anyway."
