Scarlett had just sat down for a snack when Jinx stormed into the small kitchen.
Scarlett took one look at her fellow teammate, taking in the fact that Jinx was still in her undercover disguise and the look of near-murder on her face, and looked back down at the cake on the table. Quickly cutting herself a small slice, she slid the rest of it towards the closest free chair, "That bad huh?"
Jinx grabbed a fork and a spoon from the cutlery drawer before she sat down and began to dig into the rest of the cake in a business-like manner. It was a few mouthfuls before she spoke, slightly calmer, "I just can't believe what those idiots believe about vampires!"
Scarlett took a bite from her own small slice of cake, "Well, the media of today doesn't exactly paint you guys in a positive light."
Jinx distractedly waved one hand, mindful of the fork it held, "That, I could deal with. If I had to play some mysterious, powerful and beautiful queen of the night, I could handle it no problem. It's this stupid thrill-seeker crap I can't stand."
"Thrill-seeker?"
The female vampire paused in her devouring of the cake and explained, "Somehow a lot of these idiots are getting it into their heads that vampires are thrill-seekers because of our immortality slash long life thing. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I had to talk those brats out of tonight! Are we certain they're a threat? Because at the rate they're going, Darwin's theory is going to be well proven!"
Scarlett sighed, "Well, Hi-Tech's sources pointed to that group dabbling in dark magic. So just hang in there until we get proof that says otherwise or evidence that they're actually doing it."
Jinx growled and dug back into cake, having power ate her way through almost half of the double layer chocolate dessert by then. The red-haired woman raised an eyebrow but said nothing. A vampire's appetite was nothing to sneeze at, especially when their emotions were riled up.
Well, they had to do a supply run tomorrow anyway. Scarlett made a mental note to pick up a new cake then, plus an extra one for Jinx herself. At the rate this mission was going, her friend would need a mini-fridge full of sweets to soothe her nerves.
