"yeah, sure. What do you need to talk to me about" Jinx asked, returning Raven's hesitant grin in full.
"What we will tell my team when we talk to them." Raven said, feeling Jinx's hope drain from the room.
"Or what we're not telling them, right?" Jinx said with a bit more bite than intended.
"Yeah" was all Raven could say between feeling guilty and ashamed.
"I am guessing that 'us' will be kept your dirty little secret" Jinx yelled, immediately regretting her choice of words.
"It's not that. Let's sit down and talk about it…please, for me Jinx" Raven half begged as she and Jinx walked to the table.
"So what is it then? Tell me why your team can't know that your dating me." Jinx spoke with a bubbling furry. Raven grabbing her hands helped, but not enough to get her to calm down.
"It's that if they were to find out that we are dating it would be a conflict of interest, I would be taken off this little job immediately. That's it. I would never be ashamed of you." Raven said trying her hardest to insure Jinx trusted her.
"So there is no hesitation what so ever about me meeting and getting along with your team? Not even a little?" Jinx said looking Raven in the eyes.
"No-yes-a little... I don't know." Raven said, at war with how to answer the question.
Jin could only grin, she now turned the tables "which one is it?"
"Well I never really dated anyone before and the one short relationship I had I kept fairly secret until he got out of the book." Raven blurted out.
"Came out of the book? what did you do?" Jinx asked, curious and a little defensive.
"He was imprisoned inside a book and he needed my help to get him out, and then he taught me some new magic…but turns out he was a dragon so I put him back in there." Raven said, hoping Jinx would find the situation somewhat funny.
"So, your ex is a dragon that you imprisoned in a book?" Jinx asked, trying not a smirk.
"After he lied to me yes. And you know what?" Raven said hoping Jinx forgot about their argument.
"What?" Jinx spoke with growing impatience.
"Not what we were talking about. The hesitation I feel is just normal hesitation I think…I don't know; I've never done this before."
"Do you promise that you will tell them when all this is done with?" Jinx said, now serious.
"Yes, as soon as this is done I will tell them whatever you want me to, okay?" Raven said happy that they came to a censuses.
"You're lucky you're hottest thing in existence, let me tell you that." Jinx said through a grin.
"oh is that so…ready to formally meet the Titans?" Raven asked.
"Don't know; will I end up in jail?" Jinx joked.
"Shut up and come here." Raven said, extending her arms, inviting Jinx to a hug.
"Where are we going?" Jinx asked embracing the Titan.
"My room, then we're most probably going to eat while we talk about Jak." Raven explained.
"Tell me when." Jinx requested, taking a few deep breaths.
"Now."
The word was whispered into Jinx's ear as the girl's darkness encased them, turning Jinx's breath cold and reminding her of a snake - something you'd imagine to be slimy, but isn't. The darkness retreated and they found themselves in a different darkness; a darkness that was Raven's room.
"Why can we just walk here? That thing creeps me out." Jinx half complained.
"Sorry. I didn't know you wanted to swim three and a half miles after ten mile walk." Raven said dryly, effectively shutting up Jinx.
"So what are we doing now?" Jinx asked as she paced about nervously.
"I don't know, maybe walking out and talking to my team." Raven answered, not realizing how nervous her counterpart was.
"Ok, now or never…"Jinx spoke as if she was convincing herself, not Raven.
"We can wait a little bit if that helps your nerves." Raven suggested.
"No, fear in its self is a weakness which must be overcome." Jinx said as though it were a scripture from some religious text.
"Where did that come from?" Raven asked.
"H.I.V.E., some of the things they sired in to your head you just remember, right?" Jinx answered.
"Raised in a monastery; you don't want to know the things I can't seem to forget." Raven said as she grabbed Jinx's hand and lead her out in to the hall.
"So, what do I get if I'm good?" Jinx teased.
"That depends how good you are…" Raven teased back.
"Oh really?" Jinx seductively whispered in to Raven ear.
"Raised in a monastery, remember? Temptations will not work." Raven said hoping that Jinx wouldn't test her resolve.
"oh sure, you win I'll be good" Jinx said putting her hands up in mock surrender.
"What's going on here Rae?" Cyborg asks as the door slides open.
"Just going to talk to boy wonder about things that only he knows." Jinx says putting her hands down.
"yeah,yeah. So what are you up to now a days" Cyborg asked Jinx.
"You know, league of evil black balled me, and heroing wasn't really my thing, so just chillaxin."
"yeah, oh you know bee and I are dating now?" Cyborg said with a smile and a gleam in his eye.
"You're kidding me, the two heroes that went undercover end up together. And to think we thought you two were H.I.V.E. material." Jinx joked.
"So anyone caught your eye Pinky? Heard that you and Kid Flash split." Cyborg noted.
"Just one, but you know me; I fall for heroes who try to change me." Jinx said giving Raven a glance
"Not everyone is out to change you Jinx. I am sure at least one person likes you just the way you are." Raven said looking Jinx in the eye, resisting the urge to kiss her and tell her it would all be ok.
"yeah, so Jinx let us introduce you to the team…I mean, I'm sure you know us but yeah." Cyborg said stumbling through that last few words.
So as the man machine and half demon walk Jinx in to the commons room they saw Beast Boy and Terra in the midst of an game of unknown origins.
"Hey, so what have you come up with?" Robin said from the kitchen.
"Well I think that we have who we're looking for, I think he should be looked in to as well as some of associates who may or may not be involved in illegal activities" Raven said, and Robin just nodded.
"So we have found this illusive man? Does this mean that we are no longer in danger of this police head?" Starfire said with a warm smile.
"what do you mean 'danger', as in him starting something?" Jinx asked.
"Well we didn't want Raven to rush and possibly blow her cover or anything like that." Robin explained.
"Well if I would have known that I would have sped up a few things, I may have stopped stealing, but a few scary people still owe me a favor or two." Jinx said almost mad.
"What would you have done? Tell me, what would you have done?" Robin said entertaining the idea.
"For one I would have talked to Mad Mod; he knows the ins and outs of most justice systems and then maybe Cinderblock to keep them on their toes and off your back…if Doctor Light felt froggy I would have him do something stupid so you smack him down and save face with the public so that you have a fan base." Jinx said, her face askew with thought.
"Hearts and minds" Cyborg said understanding her logic.
"Yeah but that's just off the top of my head, give me five minutes and we will see what happens." Jinx said with a smug look on her face.
"Well foods done, you two love birds eating?" Cyborg yelled at Beast Boy and Terra.
"yeah hold on, were coming." Terra said.
"Is it vegan alternative?" Best boy asked.
"No, but you can have a salad…meat is for winners." Cyborg teased.
"What are we having Stone? Tell me it's good." Jinx asked Cyborg.
"Well since I got the heads up you were coming I made extra helping of ribs and, an excellent if I say so myself, cold macaroni with a side of grilled chicken." Cyborg said with a prideful gleam.
"To think you guys eat like this every day" Jinx replied.
"No we don't, don't let him fool you, half the time its take out." Raven said deflating Cyborg's ego instantly.
"Dude you put the chicken in the salad! come on!" Beast boy complained.
"You can eat around it." Terra said.
"Yeah I guess." Beast boy said giving up on the argument.
"So friend Jinx, what bring you to our house of homes?" Starfire asked.
"Well the guy we think you're looking for, if I don't know him I know someone who does, so I want to be in the loop so I can speed it up." Jinx said matter-of-factly.
"That seemed a bit rehearsed" Terra said not hiding the 'I don't like you' out f her voice.
"Yeah a bit -got to know where priorities lie- or else you end up a fence sitter." Jinx said emphasizing a few words.
Cyborg and Raven chuckled a bit at Jinx's reply.
"OK, OK, can we get back on task? So Raven who do you think it is?" Robin asked breaking up the soon-to-be cat fight.
"Jinx I'm sorry; Jak." Raven said looking at Jinx in forgiveness.
"Hold up, the guy who made that cake? It was good." Beast boy said, thinking out loud.
"What cake? I didn't get none!" Terra said looking at Beast boy who begin to look guilty.
"You think he is the super criminal? The man could be out witted by a dog, I've seen it" Jinx said with a grin.
"Does he have criminal connections?" Robin asked ignoring the remarks.
"We all do if you look at it the right way…ok so there is a likely hood that he is involved, hold on let me call him" Jinx said.
"Let's put it on the loud speaker, just let me see this…" Cyborg said grabbing Jinx's phone and plugging it in to the main computer.
"So is he under Jak or what?" Cyborg asked.
"Jak. Can I just ask that you you're quiet before I verbally ambush him?" Jinx asked, no begged as she called him, second ring he picked up.
"Yo call sexy get sexy" Jak said answering the phone.
"Hey Jak what are you up to?" Jinx said wasting time and building her nerve.
"Not much, got a funny call a second ago, you know that one school chum I have?" Jak asked with some glee in his voice.
"I think hes like a cop or governor or something like that?"
"State aid but yeah, turns out good Ol officer McDickbag made some comments about me." Jak said the name with venom.
"Who is officer 'Dickbag'?" Jinx asked hoping Jak didn't just dig his own grave.
"That one dude…what's his name, helped him get chief, I don't know but he don't like me." Jak said with childish glee.
"Why do you think that?" Jinx asked knowing that he had a hand in what the Titan were doing.
"He's pissed that he can't find me to put bullet in my brain, turns out he pulled some strings to insure that I will be caught and taken care of, what a horrible sport." Jak said not realizing how close he is to being caught and possibly killed. "Oh tell your she buddy to keep an eye out, heard that the guy after me is after supers too." Jak continued.
"What do you mean 'supers'?" Robin blurted out.
"Oh no, have me on speaker do we. Its cool, um…you see he doesn't like things he can't control, like me who will do what I do or people like you who will do what you think is right." Jak explained.
"But why?" Beast boy asked.
"Insupority complex, probably because he has a tiny dilly dally and his wife is a whore, that or he is a competent as a quadriplegic in a swim-a-ton, take your pick. All I know is he wants me dead because I LEGALY rigged the votes." Jak explained hoping to not have the titan intervene with his escape.
"How can you legally rig votes?" Terra asked.
"Get all the thugs and burglars who want you gone to vote for a single person because he promises to get rid of you guys, voter turnout increased by fifty percent they say." Jak said, voice growing smug.
"but why does he want you dead?" Cyborg asked.
"The most dangerous thing to have is the blue prints, I didn't trust him. Had shifty eyes, so I was ready to go rouge at any second, he knew this and knows I can make this thing fall apart at the seams if I wished, which I know do" Jak said.
"So what do we do now?" Jinx asked.
"Well I was thinking we get a bomb and hide it in my body then send-" Jak was in the middle of explaining when Robin cut him off.
"She was talking to me. So we investigate the new development in this and if he's right we have a corruption issue in which his help would be appreciated, if not we arrest him after we find him now that we know who and where he is" Robin half explained, half threatened.
"oh yeah, Jinx did you tell them that little gem I told you?" Jak asked with a childish grin.
