Jinx walked confidently along the line of people going into the Demon Den. Some people yelled at her saying to head back to the end, but she ignored them arrogantly. When she reached the bouncer he stared at her sternly wondering who the hell she thought she was.
Jinx showed him her ring finger, on it was the black rose ring. A ring Isaac gave to his favorite girls. The rings were dusted with gold between the folding petals and handmade solely for them. If they just showed it to the bouncer they were allowed in immediately.
The bouncer saw the ring and asked "Are you a new girl?"
Danny, the bouncer, did not recognize Jinx. She could not blame him, Jinx was in disguise. Not to hide her identity, but she did not want too many people recognizing her. Her hair was covered up with a blonde wig with bangs. It went past her shoulders and barely touched mid-back. Her outfit was what any girl would wear in there. She had on black short shorts over hot pink leggings and black tank top. Bangles covered her wrists and she had on a few punk necklaces. Her black boots completed her tough/hot look she wished to present.
Kid Flash had been glad she left the house decently covered up.
Jinx smiled at Danny and said "I'm an old companion. Been gone for awhile and now I'm back in town."
Danny smiled back nodding. "Nice to see you again Jinx." He stopped her before heading in and whispered "Watch out for Lily. She's going to be real pissed when she sees you."
Jinx nodded and headed in to the club. Lily had been…a friend? The definition of Lily was difficult to describe, a clingy vampire girl that only got noticed by Isaac because of Jinx. Lily was dark haired with dyed silver streaks in her hair. She even had vampire fangs cosmetically installed into her canines. Her lips were always bloody red and her eye liner heavy with silver dusted on her eye lids.
Lily had been obsessed with Isaac, and when Jinx started going to the club figured he would take notice of her. She clung to her tightly and made Isaac notice her too in the process, but she was always second compared to Jinx.
Jinx thought that when she left Lily might have been bumped on his pyramid of girls, but now that she was back Lily might get knocked back to the bottom. Jinx smiled, she disliked Lily and would be amused to see her frazzled.
When she walked in she saw the familiar indoor scene of the Demon Den. It felt like a forbidden forest mixed with underground supernatural bar. In the center of the room he had five fake wooden trees. All black and withered with some demon girl dancing around it, all of them also wearing a black rose ring. Around the little grove was a circle of cushioned seats, mostly guys sitting in them. A long bar was along the left side wall, she saw that Felix was still the bartender, but he now had a young assistant to help him. Off to the right was where some band played.
She looked up ahead to the center of the room where Isaac sat on his throne. He was entertaining a few girls similarly dressed to the ones dancing on the dead trees.
"Still spends time with the ladies. Why am I not surprised?" She muttered.
"Get your freaking act together!" Jinx switched back to the dark grove. Lily was standing there yelling at one of the dancers.
"Since you're not even bothering to please Isaac tonight you should just take the night off and wait for that ring to be pried of your stubby little finger! At least try to make our guests feel somewhat seduced!" She ordered viciously. "You're wasting Isaac's time with this pathetic display!"
The dancer glared at Lily who simply turned away proudly wielding the ultimate authority. When her eyes rested on Jinx who was still staring at her she immediately began to smirk. "Jinx? Is that you?"
Jinx nodded smiling at Lily.
"Wonderful, you came back after a year. Isaac hasn't seemed to notice the absence." She added on purposefully.
Jinx continued smiling but with a more cunning edge in the curve. "I'm sure he wasn't lonely. That crowd of girls over there must stay glued to his side. How often do you get to see him now?"
Lily gritted her teeth. Her fangs were made of ivory and glinted in the light. She still remained as Jinx remembered.
"Before we begin reminiscing about the old days can you tell Isaac I'm here?" Jinx asked. "I have business to discuss with him."
"Pertaining to what?" Lily questioned.
Jinx smiled knowingly "Say I have a proposition for him, one to be discussed without those girl's around." She made to look disgusted when she glanced over them.
"Private…" Lily said evaluating. "I'll be back in a minute." She turned away and walked over to Isaac's throne. Isaac saw her approach and hushed his guests and listened to her brief comment. He immediately looked at Jinx seeing through the disguise, and made a gesture for her to come. Lily took the girl's away and led them to the center grove placing them on trees with the dancers to dance too.
When Jinx stepped up before Isaac he looked her over before welcoming her. "Jinx! I'm pleased to see you again." Isaac was still the tall lanky boy she recalled. His skin was paler than Lily's and hair dark as ink. Jinx counted now a few extra rings on his ear, but less on his face. He still had one in his brow but the nose one had vanished.
"As am I." She answered smiling like she used to for him.
He stared at her pensively. She let him look her over again used to this from him. Finally he said "I've heard disturbing rumors. That you are no longer a villain, that you are now a Titan."
"Part-time."
Isaac laughed. "I missed your sarcasm too, but tell me the truth in this story."
Jinx looked at him like she was guilty. She ended the separation between them and sat on his lap resting her arm on his shoulder.
"I'll tell you what I've been doing. Currently my employment is labeled as Titan. About a year ago I met up with Kid Flash and he brought me into the Titan family. He's quite a charming boy you see." Jinx added on.
"Is he?" Isaac frowned assuming what her relationship status was.
"Yes, but the rest of them are just so boring. I'm concerned my image is being turned into a goody-good. After a year I'm tired of them and am looking to get back into my old habits."
"And how can I help?" Isaac asked courteously.
"I have a deal you cannot refuse. In this scenario I'm the supplier, you're the middle man, and PM19 is the customer."
"What are you supplying me with Jinx?"
"Weapons" She told him.
He began smiling then. "You have access to the weapons the Titans have confiscated?"
"Exactly, a whole armory almost, and more powerful than most typical weapons you see."
He snorted disbelieving that statement. "Alright then, what do you need to get these to me?"
"Just a few things, we can go over details tomorrow night."
"Sounds like a deal." Jinx started getting up and he grabbed her wrist stopping her. "Wouldn't you like to stay the night?" He kissed her hand and looked up with a familiar expression, lust.
She smiled like she had when he made these offers, but cruelly took her hand away saying "Kid Flash is waiting for me at home." Jinx had intended making him jealous when she came. If he felt a challenger taking away any one of his favorite girls it set him off quick. This would make him more inclined to go along with her scheme to eliminate Kid Flash from the equation.
"Sounds like a needy boy?" Isaac observed jaw tightening.
Jinx laughed and replied "Kid Flash did keep my attention longer than most." She was implying that Isaac was replaceable.
Isaac expression became angry momentarily, but when he spoke again it softened "Interesting, and when will this Kid Flash suspect you of infidelity?"
"He's clueless of my actions, another reason I love him."
"Love?" He spit the word out disgusted. "We'll see how you feel after this business is concluded."
"Hopefully there will be something to see." She stated challenging him. "Goodnight Isaac."
"Goodnight Jinx." He watched her walk away confidently. Isaac shooed away the girls that approached after Jinx left, he was no longer interested in their company.
Jinx left immediately filled with pride for making her first ex-boyfriend jealous. She felt more desirable than any girl in that club and wanted to show off her confidence to Wally. Jinx left smirking glad she came back after all this time. Some memories were fun to revisit.
Lily watched Jinx leave from behind the bar. She glanced between her and Isaac while she left. Seeing him shoo away the girls almost made her happy, but knowing Jinx was on his mind again ruined it.
"Cocky bitch!" Lily snapped when Jinx left. Lily went to back office and picked up the phone. She quickly dialed a number and waited for an answer. In a moment she was saying "Hello this Lily, co-manager of Demon Den, you said to call if I saw who you're looking for?" The person she called spoke. "She came in tonight, and I'm certain she'll be coming back tomorrow night if you want to pick her up." They spoke again. "Yes, I understand. Thank you." Lily smiled wickedly and skipped out to see Isaac.
WWWWWWW
"He totally bought the story and were meeting again tomorrow night." Jinx remained in costume while she informed the Titans of her successful meeting.
"Good job Jinx." Robin congratulated her. "If this plan works out will be able to catch them in the act, and that'll be enough to catch PM19 unaware."
When the brief meeting had ended Jinx and Kid Flash headed off down the corridors to their rooms.
"See Jinx, you're already doing good being here." Wally commented.
Jinx grinned still happy from earlier. She tugged on Wally's arm and said "Come on, I feel like celebrating."
Wally took the hint and scooped her up rushing off to their rooms.
