Chapter 10 - Just a Jinx

Jinx POV

There he was. The one person I didn't want to see more than anything in this world. Quake. He found me. What was he going to do with me now that he had me? Torture me or just kill me right away? Maybe he wouldn't do anything for a while to torment me further.

I decided that it would be easier if he just killed me and get it over with. I walked over towards him, head down, feet and arms feeling like lead.

"Well what are you waiting for?" I said, it was like all the happiness I felt had disappeared from the world.

He just stepped over to me, he stopped when we were about a foot away from each other. I knew that this was it for me, I closed my eyes and waited for him to get it over with.

"What are you talking about Jinx?" he said to me.

Was he really that dense...no he was toying with me, prolonging my suffering. "Please just make it fast. I don't want any pain."

"I'm not going to hurt you Jinx." He had to be screwing with me, he makes it look like he won't hurt me but he will. He continued, "Why would you think I would?"

"Because of what you did to Madame Rouge, you killed her, I heard it."

"No I didn't." He shocked me with this, Madame Rouge wasn't dead? He continued, "I'm better than she is and I proved it to her by showing her that I had the power to take her life and chose not to. Just like I told you before, you're better than them too and you can choose not to be one of them."

I just stared at him in disbelief, he couldn't be serious could he? I had to ask him. "Why wouldn't you kill me after what I've done to you? I got you captured, tortured and you ended up in a makeshift hospital. What are you, mad?"

"Yes you did do that, but you also realized that what you were doing was wrong, and you helped me to escape and get me to my friends in time. That severely outweighs the capture and torture. After all, Thomas Kemp wrote, 'Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of its trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse for impossibility, for it thinks all things are lawful for itself, and all things are possible'. And to your last question all I have to say is 'I have loved to the point of madness. That which is called madness. That which to me is the only sensible way to love.' by Francoise Sagan."

Did he say Love? Not only once but 3 times. He wasn't going to hurt me, and I think he said that he loved me in his own way. I had to be sure, "Are you saying that you love me?"

"Yes I am Jinx. I love you. I fell in love with you when we first met."

He loves me. He said that he LOVES me. My heart got caught in my throat. This was the happiest moment in my life. He must have sensed this, because he cupped my cheek with his left hand and brought my face closer to his. Our lips were almost touching each others...

CCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK

The rotting floorboards underneath us gave into our combined weight. We both fell. He reached out and grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into his body putting my body on top of his as we crashed through 7 floors. His body taking all the pain from breaking through the floors. We landed hard on the ground floor, luckily there was no basement in the building.

I landed on top of him, and felt something wet around my chest. I got up off of him and what I saw horrified me. A large piece of metal was sticking out of his chest, right near his heart.

"Uuuuuuuggggghhhhhh," he had trouble breathing. He was hurt so badly and it was all my fault. Me. I'm just bad luck, a jinx. When good things happen to me they always end badly. But this time I really did it. My bad luck was going to turn me into a murderer.

All of a sudden I heard a beeping coming from his costume. His Titans communicator! I thought Madame Rouge took his communicator, why did he have one now? It didn't matter. It was lucky that he did.

Raven's face appeared on the communicator and she was shocked, or as shocked as Raven gets, at who answered. "Jinx, why do you have Quakes communicator?"

"Raven! Thank god! Quake's...well he..." I turned the communicator towards him so she could see what was going on.

"Oh...no..." she said, "where are you?" I told her where she could find us and the communicator turned off. I didn't want to leave him, but I also didn't want the Titans to catch me.

I started to leave when his hand caught mine. "Don't leave me Jinx." he could barely say it as his lungs must have been filling up with blood. I didn't want to, so I stayed with him comforting him the whole time. I could hear Raven outside just as Quake lost consciousness.

Quake POV

I woke up in an all too familiar surrounding. I was back in the Titans infirmary. I thought it had all been a dream until I tried to sit up and got a sharp pain in my chest. I knew then that it hadn't been a dream. "Finally you're up."

"Hey Raven, where are the other Titans?"

"They're still fighting, they asked me to come here so you could go back and protect Los Santos."

"Oh, thanks. Glad you showed up when you did."

"Are you going to tell me what happened?"

There was no point lying to her, she could just read my mind to see if I was telling the truth. So I told her everything in every little detail I could remember. Everything from when I first met Jinx and the other members of the H.I.V.E. 5 to when she found me.

"That's quite a story."

"Just read my mind if you don't believe me."

"I do believe your story."

Then I remembered who was with me at the time. "Raven where's Jinx?"

"I don't know, she was gone when I got there."

"Oh, how long have I been out?"

"About 3 days." 3 DAYS! God only knows what happened to her. I got up, despite the pain it caused me.

Raven stopped me and said, "You can't go out, you're not healed yet."

"Ok...hey do you mind getting me some water? I'm parched."

She looked at me with an eyebrow raised and said "Fine, but don't go anywhere." When she left the room I got up and headed out the door as fast as I was able to.

I had to find Jinx, at all costs.

Jinx POV

I continued walking god knows where, I didn't know where I was walking and I didn't care. In the time span of a week a hero had inserted himself into my life and turned it upside down. He tried to convert me and he succeeded, I freed him, attacked Madame Rouge, and fell for him. But at the same time, he fell for me too.

I started to get a fever not long after what happened with Quake, I just passed it off as my mind trying to adjust to no longer being a villain. But it got worse and worse each day. Eventually I found myself in the warehouse district. The fever was really bad, and the nausea, vomiting and pain and cramps weren't helping matters. I got into an open warehouse and felt too weak to move.

My whole world was going black, and just before I lost complete consciousness I saw a dark figure approach me.

OK, here is Chapter 10, I've been on a roll tonight getting 3 chapters done. Hope everyone enjoys my Story.

And again, if anyone is confused about what's going on, I'd be more than happy to explain it.

And points to those who guess what's wrong with Jinx.
