A/N Homework, homework, and guess what! More homework! I really hate all honors classes. I don't own Teen Titans.

Jinx had known it was a bad idea from the start. She had known she was going to be in a hell of a lot of trouble for this. There were just things you could get away with and things you were never going to live down. But Raven had needed some serious help, even if she did go into a healing trance or something once Jinx got her into the infirmary. The only thing Jinx didn't plan on was the Headmistress being back.

"Do you have any idea of the risk you're taking?" the woman said. Her voice was calm, collected. She was pretty mad. While Jinx was a somewhat wild card she knew better than to push her luck here. The Headmistress wasn't someone to joke with. You'd most likely end up dead.

"Yes ma'am. But she needed medical help and the Titans weren't going to get there in time," Jinx answered dutifully. At least she didn't have a communicator. It had been Flash's job to keep an eye on her and thus he was the only one who really had contact with the Titans. "I know for a fact the normal hospitals won't take her for some reason." Jinx had found that out a few days after everyone got back from defeating the Brotherhood of Evil. The all changing thing had shot fire at her and for some reason Raven had froze. The attack only really hit her leg but the burn was still pretty bad. "Besides I have no way of contacting the Titans either."

"Does she not have a communicator?"

"I dropped that in the alley. It works pretty much the same as the HIVE's but with a fingerprint scanner for the main Titans. Also her locator brooch." Raven's cloak had actually fallen off on a roof. Some random maintenance guy was going to find it one day.

Lying on the bed Raven kept her eyes closed. She didn't want to signal she was awake at the moment. For some reason she couldn't even think of where she was or more importantly who she was. The two woman there kept talking about some girl and it was probably her. At least it felt like they were talking about her. She could sense it, in her mind. Raven wasn't sure how but she could.

"I know you're awake young lady," the Headmistress said suddenly. Jinx froze and turned to look over her shoulder. Raven's purple eyes opened slowly and she stared at the ceiling with a small frown. For some reason Jinx had a little trouble breathing. Raven looked…cute? Yes that seemed right but why was thinking like that?

"Where am I?" Raven asked, confusion running strong in her voice. The two women looked at each other. Raven wasn't one to show emotion, especially in her voice. Slowly Jinx crept forward and took Raven's hand in her own. She wasn't even sure why she did that.

"You're in the HIVE infirmary. Do you know what that is?" Jinx asked gently. Could it be possible? Raven had hit her head pretty hard on the ground. Slowly the girl shook her head and suddenly she looked like she had to throw up.

"The room's spinning," she whispered softly. Her mouth barely opened and her eyes had a wild look to them, like she was about to pass out from fear. Jinx started to unconsciously run her free hand lightly down Raven's arm to soothe her. It worked, something that probably wouldn't have happened before.

"Just relax okay? My name's Jinx okay?" Raven nodded slightly to say she understood. Her eyes started to drift closed. "HIVE Academy is basically an elite high school. We learn a lot of stuff normal high schoolers don't."

"Like first aid," Raven mumbled gently, suddenly. Jinx blinked and then smiled slightly. This could work to their advantage.

"Yes like first aid. We often take in a bunch of kids who have powers. You have powers." Raven's eyes opened fully and the confused look was back. Jinx had never seen so much emotion on the empathy's face before and it took her breath away.

She's beautiful like this. I wish there was a way I could keep her from the Titans forever. Raven frowned slightly and ran a hand along her wound. There was only a slight scar now, pale against her gray skin. She looked at her hand then at Jinx, then at the Headmistress who was watching the exchange carefully.

"My skin's gray. Yours isn't and neither is hers. Why is that Jinx?" Jinx had to make sure Raven was even talking to her before she responded. Raven had never said her name in such a voice. It was usually a snarl or with a mild tone of annoyance.

"I don't know. Your powers are different from a meta-human's. I'm one myself." Raven's eyes flickered to her again and then she nodded. She knew that term. "What do you know?" Raven hesitated.

"I know the normal stuff. Like they teach in schools. But the stuff that makes me me…I've forgotten it." There was such a hurt tone to her voice that Jinx nearly flinched. Her idea didn't seem so great now.

"Alright then. Well I don't know much about you either. We just met a few days ago and then you got injured. Do you remember how that happened?" Raven knew Jinx was lying but she couldn't figure out how she knew. Then her mind started chasing her last memories.

A blue flame. Four other teens standing with her. Her heart racing with indescribable fear. A red haired girl falling from a portal. A fight and then…Raven winced and touched her wound again. The sharp sting of the metal ripping her skin was still present. It was the only thing she could remember.

"I think so. There was a red haired girl with a sword. Me and some others were fighting her," Raven said. The others were but hazy figures and getting blurrier. But the girl with red hair stayed sharp and fresh, like the sword. Her eyes were burning orange from a blackness. They spoke of pain and hardship, hate and fear. But her movements…Raven had a lingering sense the girl had been acting on instinct. Like she had been attacked often and thus defending herself became as natural as breathing.

"Okay then. If you ever see this red head again let me know okay?" Jinx forced her voice to sound cheerful and partly concerned. Inside she was shivering with fear and ready to burst with joy. Raven didn't remember any of her past! This could be the chance to get her to switch sides!

"Yah I will." Raven's eyes were drifting shut again. Her breath was coming slower and deeper. A few moments later and she was asleep. Or at least seemed it. Jinx breathed out heavily.

"Show her the ropes Jinx. You'll not be doing heists for a while though." And the Headmistress left. Jinx's mouth dropped open. She had been given a second chance! No one had ever been given that! They usually ended up killed if they switched sides. But she Jinx, the girl of bad luck, had been given a second chance! And better yet she was going to work with Raven and teach her how to be a villainess. Jinx had always thought she would do better in the villain spot. Somehow that just seemed to click more.

"Hey Jinx?" Raven's voice was slurred and slow. It still managed to make Jinx jump a little though.

"Yah?" she asked, pulling up a chair. For some reason she still kept a firm hold on Raven's hand. It was pretty nice actually.

"What's my name?" Jinx flinched. She hoped Raven would remember that or just not ask.

"Raven."

"Raven? It rhymes with Zaven."
