Kid Flash watched the news report until dawn after coming back from the Demon Den. They were going to announce the identity of the bodies found any minute and he wanted to be there for the confirmation that Jinx was… He could not think of it yet until the report aired.

Everyone kept a safe ten foot radius away from him. They all stayed to see the report as well, but speaking to Wally now was unwise. Raven and Beast Boy cleaned the kitchen to occupy themselves and Cyborg and Robin continued to quietly work on the Demon Den case. Wally watched the television without blinking for minutes at times to see the report.

"It's on!" Wally finally called saying something for the first time that morning.

They dropped their tasks and gathered with Wally in front of TV to hear the coroner speak.

"The body found in the night club, Demon Den, has now been identified by the city coroner, Amanda Walsh." A reporter informed them. "Walsh discovered identity by physical factors that were then connected to the victim's profile in past criminal records."

God… Wally thought. She's being remembered as a criminal.

"The police reports identify the young woman as Lily Rose."

"What?" Beast Boy shouted.

Kid Flash inhaled a breath.

Robin and Cyborg gaped openly.

Raven's eyes widened.

"Lily Rose, the hostess at Demon Den, had cosmetic surgery to implant vampire fangs on her canines. This immediately identified-."

"Wait a minute." Cyborg interrupted the rest of the report. "If that's not Jinx then where the heck is she?"

Wally was shaking his head. "She would've called or comeback by now."

Robin stood up. "Then this case is bigger than we expected."

Sudden static on the TV further confirmed his statement when two odd figures appeared on the screen.

The news report had been replaced by a live viral feed. On the screen were two people who the Titan's noticed immediately had similar appearances to Jinx, but no bubble-gum hair. Their skin was as grey as hers, but their hair was bright blue with matching eyes; a young man and woman that also dressed in dark apparel like Jinx.

"Hellooo! Jump Cityyy!" The girl yelled. "Do not be alarmed! This threatening message is intended for only one person!" She held up her forefinger and waggled it to explain clearly.

"Only one? Is this actually for us?" Beast Boy asked.

"It has to be-." Raven began telling him before the blue-haired woman cut her off.

"Casper?" She called. "You have to negotiate with us now!"

There was silence in the main room.

"Who the heck's Casper?" Cyborg said.

"Casper we have the girl, and do not doubt we are willing to start the torture if you don't show up in the next hour!"

"The girl?" Robin picked up on that part.

"Oh right…" The girl said after the man that looked like her twin whispered something in her ear. "Titan's" She addressed them directly. "Please don't trouble yourselves with this little dispute. This is only a simple territory claim we are negotiating at the moment. Your friend will be fine if Casper does his part." She placed a hand over her mouth realizing she made a mistake. "Oops…I shouldn't have said friend." The girl still shrugged and said "Oh well…the more I kill the happier my day!" The video cut off then returning the TV back to static.

Jinx was the hostage of the two freaks on the television, that was evident, but who was Casper. When their broadcast ended Cyborg immediately began to trace the signal to find out where it came from. He found it coming from a factory in the middle of the industrial park.

Wally left as soon as he knew where Jinx was, he had no time to wait if torture was involved. He ran over the bay to reach the factory in the quickest time possible. He only slowed down when he neared the factory.

One of them will be looking out for uninvited guests, and I bet they won't give them much warning to leave.

He approached the factory carefully planning to go in through one of the walls, and go from bottom to top till he found Jinx. One wall looked promising however someone foresaw his intention.

A blue-hilted knife flew out of nowhere and jammed in between the bricks.

Kid Flash jumped back and saw the blue-haired girl perched on one of the crates, polishing an identical blade.

"Tsk…tsk." The girl said. "Such a bad boy! Running to thy ladies rescue!" She sighed dramatically. "Too bad you'll have to keep her waiting." Her fingers snapped creating blue sparks that sent the knife she held flying right at him.

He dodged immediately however her blade grazed his cheek making a thin slit that began to bleed. Kid Flash touched his face flabbergasted by the speed of the knife.

The girl grinned and hopped off the crate. "This will be fun. Cutting up my victim to the point where no one will recognize you."

WWWWWW

How the hell is this possible! Jinx squirmed trying to free herself, but her body was pressed down by the chain wrapped around her. For the first time in her life Jinx realized she had a weakness, an iron chain. What was odd was that just laying it on top of her made her feel like she was in a straitjacket.

"It's useless." Her male captor said. "If you hurt yourself before Casper comes it may make things more difficult."

"Like I care!" She shrieked at him. "I don't give a damn about this Casper!" Jinx continued to struggle under the chains.

He shrugged and watched her writhe on the ground. "Find by me. I'm enjoying this little spectacle."

"Pervert!" She shouted hearing his revolting tone. Jinx wished now she had worn more modest clothing last night. She was still in her black dress except for now it was dirtier. The one thing missing was her wig which meant her hair was now completely loose.

"You truly are a beauty." He began saying. "I wish we had more women like you around. It gets boring being an endangered species, don't you think?"

Jinx ignored him with strained effort, and continued trying to escape.

"I asked a question you know." He was annoyed by her insolence. He knelt by her and grabbed her hair tightly. "Aren't you tired of being a member of an endangered species?"

They way he asked it made her realize they may be more similar than she could tell, but she would not give in to his pestering.

He punched her in the face after she kept silent for one whole minute.

Jinx did not cry when the pain spread over her cheek.

"You need to learn to listen to me, and since Casper's late I can begin torture." Blue sparks flew from his raised hand, and when he slapped her it felt like he actually was burning her skin.

If his powers are the same as mine he could torture me pretty badly. Definitely leave some scars, but he won't kill me. I wonder why that is?

At least Headmaster taught me never to break. She let her mind go purposefully numb to escape the pain he afflicted on her.

WWWWWWW

The girl laughed merrily seeing the Titan's hide from her blades.

"You can't hide forever!" She was enjoying this, but she needed to regroup with her brother soon. "When I break through your hiding places you will die!" Blue sparks flew to the crate Kid Flash was hiding behind causing it to collapse completely. He was panting badly since he ran out of juice, and now he was facing assured death.

She snickered prepared to send her knives flying at the fatal spots; she favored the heart the most.

Raven's shield covered him, but the blades kept trying to drill their way through.

"Kid Flash, get away! I can't hold it!" Raven shouted.

Kid Flash was too weak and needed to stay still to recuperate. "I can't move yet!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" The girl laughed hysterically. "Useless!"

"Not quite."

It was then the girl froze hearing the voice at the behind her. The Titan's felt it was safe enough to peek out and see who was speaking. They looked as the girl turned to see the new arrival.

"Casper, I see that you have arrived." She sounded very aggravated.

"I'm sure that is very clear Scythe." The young man answered. "My point in coming is to tell you Scorch returned to your master, and you best join him."

Scythe bared her teeth at him almost growling. "I'll assume our claim was accepted?"

"Rejected." Casper said bluntly.

She fully growled frustrated. "Next time I'll cut up her face!" Then she disappeared leaving behind crackling blue sparks where she had stood.

"Who the heck are you?" Cyborg stared at the man who wore black from bottom up. Starting with leather shoes, then dress pants, a black dress shirt, and on top he covered his hair with a black ski cap. Not only that, but he was also wearing sunglasses.

Casper looked at him and stared at him very sternly for a moment. "You are not qualified to know."

"What the heck are you saying?" Cyborg detected an insult.

Casper turned away and looked around for a moment before speaking. "She should be here soon."

"Who?" Beast Boy asked.

Before an answered could be deflected by Casper again a white light enveloped them and when faded revealed the main room.

"Woah!" Beast Boy shouted. "How did you do that?"

"Kana brought you here."

Then they realized another person was there with holding something big bundled in a blanket. This new person wore the complete opposite color of Casper. Her dress was white and shapeless like a priest's robe, and her long hair matched the color as did her eyes.

Kana was kneeling in the center of the circle that formed when they appeared in the room. She was singing and stroking something pink in the bundle she held.

"What is she…doing?" Robin said first.

"She is in pain." Kana told him. "I am healing her."

"Jinx?" Wally nearly lunged himself at the bundle to pull down the cover.

Before he could Casper grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the ground. "Do not interrupt the process!"

"Let go!" Kid Flash needed to see her. He was ready to vibrate through the guy's hand and burn him in the process by doing so.

"Wally…?"

Casper looked over his shoulder to the bundle where the voice came from. Kid Flash strained his neck to try and see however Casper had an incredibly strong grip.

"Is she all right?" Casper asked Kana. He let Kid Flash go so he could turn around and kneel next to Kana. Kid Flash was angrier with this guy than he had ever been with anyone; although he was not the only one in the room aggravated by this person.

Kid Flash dismissed the possibility of being nearly strangled again and knelt close to Jinx too.

"Jinx?" He asked. "Are you alright?"

Kana began speaking to Casper "The flesh wounds will take awhile to heal; at this point she needs to rest."

"Can I see Jinx?" Kid Flash felt shunted to the side.

Casper turned and looked him in the eyes. "What is your relationship with her?"

That nearly blew him away. "Excuse me? You're the stranger in this situation. What is your relationship with Jinx?"

"I understand you two formed a partnership a year ago." Casper ignored Kid Flash's question. "However I do not have detail about the full extent of that relationship. I can infer though from your over protectiveness there is more to it than fighting crime."

"What business do you have taking care of my girlfriend?" Kid Flash snapped.

"Ahhh…so I'm right." Casper began contemplating this silently.

Kid Flash waited till he said what was on his mind.

"She could do better." Casper decided then he turned back to Kana. "Take her to her room."

"Yes Casper." Kana disappeared with Jinx another flash of white light.

Kid Flash wanted to run to where Jinx and Kana went, but Casper stopped him.

"There is nothing to worry about Wallace. You can trust Kana she has served my family for a very long time." Casper was making himself comfortable in the swivel chair by the computer.

"My name is Kid Flash!"

"Jinx calls you Wally? Isn't that short for Wallace?"

"Kid Flash, don't answer that." Raven ordered stepping into the discussion. "You owe us an explanation of why you're here, and what you have to do with Jinx." Raven addressed Casper.

"Why?" Casper wondered.

Raven almost smiled. "A man that appears with a fairy taking care of Jinx is an odd thing to find. Especially since fairies aren't suppose to exist."

Everyone stared at her thinking she was spouting nonsense, except for Casper who began smiling.

"You identified Kana as a fairy without ever meeting one?"

"I have read stories…legends about ancient races. One was about the race that created happiness and sadness, light and darkness, and good and evil. They were called the Fae."

"I know of these stories." Casper replied. "And the never ending battle to tilt the scales into prosperity, or headlong into chaos."

"If you and Kana are both of the Fae what does that make Jinx?" Raven now revealed her major question.

Casper's smugness added away while he thought of the answer to that question. He removed his sunglasses and then slowly took off his hat.

The Titan's saw magenta eyes, and soft pink hair identical to their wounded comrade.

"It makes her an abandoned fairy, and I the older brother, who ensures that no evil of our lost world harms her."
