I don't own Teen Titans
2. Cyborg can and will send text messages with his mind
Besides Kid Flash, the only friend Jinx actually had in the Titans was Cyborg. When Jinx originally joined, she had been afraid that none of the titans besides KF would be cool with her but that wasn't the case. Cyborg was the one to congratulate her first on her switch to the good side and joke with her about their shared time at Hive Academy.
Her friendship with him only deepened when she and KF broke up and she needed a place to crash. She had insisted it was just for a night while she figured out her next move. Cyborg however had immediately created her own private entry code to her new bedroom and gave her his extra key to the T-Car. Jinx found it very funny the next morning when Cyborg had simply told Robin that she was on their team now. She found it very surprising when Robin had just shrugged and told her that training was at 3.
While she eventually formed friendships with the other members of the team, some more tentative than others, Cyborg was definitely her bestie; and right now, Jinx and her bestie were holed-up in a corner, drinking together and judging other Titans at the annual Halloween party.
"Ugh…" Jinx groaned as she watched Beast Boy try to dance, "I get that he's your buddy, but this should qualify as torture."
"Oh, just wait until the karaoke machine comes out." Cyborg grinned, "That's torture."
"I thought Raven hid it." Jinx took another sip of her drink, some fruity concoction that Starfire had handed out. Jinx could find plenty of things about the perky alien that were endearing, now that she knew her better, but Starfire's ability to mix a drink certainly made the top five.
"He'll find it. He always does." Cyborg finished his drink.
Jinx smirked, "How much are you willing to bet on that?"
Cyborg smirked back, "Fifty dollars."
Jinx glanced at Raven, who was across the room, standing around bored as Speedy tried to chat, or flirt, Jinx wouldn't put it past him. Raven could open portals to other worlds, surely she could have the machine there, where Beast Boy had no hope of finding it.
"You're on." Jinx held out her hand.
"Okay, but I warned you." He took her hand with a smirk.
"Yeah, yeah," Jinx dismissed before she caught sight of the newest arrival to the party, "Who is that?"
Cyborg followed Jinx's stare and smiled, "Oh, that's Argent. She's our ally in New Zealand, I forgot she was coming tonight."
Jinx didn't reply and Cyborg caught the flick of Jinx's eyes as she checked Argent out. Not that he could blame her. Argent was a looker, and that accent didn't hurt either. He watched Jinx as she watched Argent; completely unaware that their conversation had stopped.
Cyborg rolled his eye, this was pathetic, and it had been months since she had dumped Wally and she was still too gun shy to try putting herself out there again. Now was as good a time as any. Cyborg knew for a fact that Jinx wasn't just into guys and that Argent was exclusively interested in women. What could be a better rebound than a hot girl who lived 6,000 miles away?
"Hey Argent!" He shouted across the room, startling Jinx beside him, "Get over here, got someone I want you to meet!"
"What are you doing?" Jinx hissed under her breath.
Cyborg shrugged, "You think she's cute and I think you need to get laid."
Jinx's hair matched her cheeks, but before she could tell him that her sex life, however nonexistent it might be, was none of his business, Argent walked up.
"Hello." She said with a thick, appealing accent. "As you can probably guess I'm Argent."
Jinx, barely thinking held out her hand, and noticed the heat that practically radiated off of Argent's fingers, "Jinx. Stone here thinks he's so smooth."
"Stone?" Argent looked at Cyborg, "Switching codenames?"
"Stone was the name I used on an undercover mission to spy on Jinxie here." Cyborg grinned, "She was a bad girl once upon a time."
Jinx rolled her eyes at Cyborg before turning her attention back to Argent "Was being the operative word, now I'm good as cherry pie."
Cyborg side-eyed her for the insinuation and wondered if he needed to remove himself before he became a third-wheel.
Argent chuckled, "Well they say that good girls are just bad girls that never get caught."
Jinx flashed her a sly little smile, "Then I guess it's just a matter of who catches me this time."
They eyed each other, but said nothing. Content to sit in the sexual tension as Cyborg watched on in equal part impatience and awkwardness. Another minute passed and he decided to take the matter into his own hands.
Seconds later, Argent's communicator beeped. Apologizing she reached for it and checked the alert she received. At first she just looked up at Cyborg curiously, searching for something that wasn't there, before she put away her communicator and held her hand back out for Jinx.
"You wouldn't want to dance would you?"
Jinx blinked at first at the invite, and then a smirk highlighted her features and without another word, took Argent's hand and let herself be guided out to the make shift dance floor.
Cyborg smiled broadly as he watched from the corner, grateful again for his technopathic abilities, and groaning when Starfire mistook Argent and Jinx's dance as a 'girls who are friends' dance and tried to join them. Grumbling about his matchmaker skills, he got up to take care of this problem before Starfire ruined Jinx's chances for good.
