Jinx's Lament

The Day was normal, as Robin and the other Titans were stopping a set of bank robbers. Beast Boy had turned into a snail to eavesdrop on the robbers, but one of them tossed him far off, but he got what he needed. When he landed, he saw something which made him turn back to normal and scream. The Bank robbers were dealt with, and the rest of the team came to see what the matter was. A girl was lying on the bloodied grass. She had pink hair, and black and purple clothes. Robin turned her over.

They were staring into the bloodied, bruised face of Jinx! Her breathing was labored, and it seemed as any breath could be her last. Beast Boy began to panic,

"What do we do what do we do what do we do?" Beast Boy was panicking,

"Calm down, man." Said Cyborg, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I say leave her to die," said Raven, unsympathetic. Robin spoke up,

"She HAS caused us a lot of trouble in the past, but that doesn't mean we should. This is Dark, Raven, even for you." Everyone else opted to save her, so Raven was outvoted. They took her to the hospital, but they rejected her because of the Blackout she caused. They were forced to take her back to the tower and heal her themselves. Since Cyborg had been undercover at their school, he was the one with the job of staying with her until she died or woke up. She was medicated with pain reliever and her wounds bandaged. It seemed like a year of sitting there to Cyborg, but she finally woke up.

"Where am I?" she asked, before seeing Cyborg. She began to panic, but he told her,

"Relax, I won't hurt you. You were beaten and left to die, so we took you in here to heal you. Mind telling me what happened?" Jinx was silent for a few minutes, before bursting into tears.

"Hey," said Cyborg, putting a hand on her shoulder, "it's okay." Jinx's story was a tearjerker.

"Mammoth, Gizmo, and I were stealing hardware for our mission. We accidentally tripped an alarm, but rather than robots or guards with guns, a person with a long staff came in. We thought the Security had lost it, but he put up quite a fight, and it seemed we may have lost, but our combined might proved too much. We beat him, to the point where he may need a hospital. We should have just left him there, but Mammoth was feeling like he was dominate, and he began to crush the fighter. I was in no mood for bloodshed, so I had to stop Mammoth. I made a wire fall and whack him in the face. There was bloodshed, but not from the staffman. Mammoth was hit so hard, he was bleeding.

"I then helped the guy to his feet, and told him to leave. He ran outta there. Then Gizmo said one of his adolescent insults before telling me grave news. I had done an act of heroism, everything HIVE stood against. I was brought before Brother Blood. He wasn't pleased. I ended up being beaten until I bled, then dropped off and left to die. Now I'm here. If any of my former classmates see me, they'll kill me, no regrets." Jinx continued her sobs, and Cyborg felt like crying himself. Cyborg pulled out his communicator,

"Guys," he said, "Jinx is up, but she's been booted out of HIVE."

"I find that hard to believe," said Robin, "it might be a trap."

"I have evidence against your theory," said Cyborg, "first off, she was soaked in her own blood, and the DNA reader matched it to her. Second, she's in here bawling real tears, and third, my truth detector is off the charts." The rest of the team came in, and Jinx retold her tale. Only Raven was unfazed.

"I say we boot her out," said Raven, but she was once again out voted. She would remain in the tower until her wounds healed, then whether or not she stayed permanently would be decided. The team began to leave, but Jinx grabbed Cyborg's hand.

"I'm scared," her voice was still shaky,

"You don't have to be," said Cyborg, "I won't let those HIVE people hurt you." Cyborg walked out of the room. Jinx followed him with her eyes, feeling a spark in her heart, which made her want to jump for joy.

Something was just different about him.

First chapter done. I hope it was satisfactory. Now, I am far from an expert on this show, and I know characters may be out of character, BUT I DO NOT GIVE A CRAP. =)
