The rain fell heavily against Raven's cloak as she sat huddled against the side of a rooftop catycorner. Of course, the cloak had been warded to repel water but it didnt stop it from splashing in her face or soaking through her shoes.
By Azar, she hated stake outs but Robin had insisted that everyone got a turn to practice. Of course, hers was a bunch of two bit drug dealers who had gotten the boy wonder's attention. There had not been a meta threat for a few months and so the average criminal was on the menu. Robin wanted to bust the entire gang at once.
The camera was hidden underneath her cloak but her target had not left his apartment for hours.
Raven sensed it first, a sweet scent from her left and she turned quickly, eyes white and ready to strike.
"Easy, tiger, it's just me," Jinx said as she crouched down beside her, the rain having already soaked through her dress and stockings. The girl smelled like a mix of wet socks and blueberries.
"That's not comforting, Jinx, " Raven groused. "I really don't want to deal with you five today."
"Just me," Jinx said trying to snuggle in. Raven pushed her away as a blush caressed the sorceress' gray face.
"Stop it."
"What? I'm cold."
"Should have worn a raincoat."
"Your cloak looks warm."
"Don't you even think about it."
Jinx pouted and crossed her arms with a wet squish, her pink pigtails drooping from the water.
"You weren't so quick to kick me out last week."
The night flooded back to the demon sorceress when she had gone to bed with a book and a cup of tea. She had spent 10 exhausting minutes telling Beast Boy that she was not up to playing Ninja Monkeys vs Aliens 10.
Raven had found Jinx on her bed wearing nothing but a smile. It had never crossed her mind how the enemy of the Teen titans got in let alone why Raven had been quick to toss her book and climb in wordless. Suffice to say, the tea was ice cold when Raven remembered it in the haze of being tangled with the pinkette.
"You're thinking about it," Jinx cooed.
"No I'm not," was the feeble reply. The red heat in her cheeks was obvious, Raven knew it.
Raven saw movement and she sat up with camera ready.
"Go away, I got work to do."
"Fine," Jinx pouted before that smile returned to her eyes. "I'll see you tonight. I have a few other...things..to show you."
As Jinx skipped away, Raven's hands shook slightly. How was she supposed to do her job now with those thoughts?
