Tender

The tiny flicker of lights swiftly died away into darkness. Her candles' flames were snuffed out without her consent. Her eyes snapped open from her trance as a cold wind blew through her room. A second later her hands were glowing pink, illuminating her face.

Jinx gazed around her room, wondering where such a wind had come from. She had no windows for the breeze to flow through, and her new room was remarkably warm. In fact, there shouldn't have been any kind of wind entering, or leaving for that matter. So what had blown out her candles? What had caused her room to be plunged into complete darkness? The one thing that she feared above all.

It wasn't that she was scared of the dark. She was petrified of being alone and shrouded within it. With no light whatsoever, no rays of hope.

She thought that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to try meditating. She'd leave it to that goody-goody Titan, Raven. It was all of Jinx's fault though, not really. It was within her nature to do such things. While she had been at Brother Blood's school, she had been forced to learn and to master all of her weaknesses.

Right now, meditating seemed the only way to master this weakness. Her lack of control over certain emotions had made her take brash actions. Actions that led to much embarrassment, fear, and awkward silence.

It was in her last fight against the Teen Titans when realized she needed to master this weakness. When she had suddenly had Raven cornered in an alleyway, while their teammates, fought against each other in the streets. Someone would come to help Raven any second, but Jinx needed to gain her revenge. How dare Raven mock her like that...

Wit a blush, Jinx remembered enveloping Raven in a tender embrace and a gentle kiss. She realized seconds later that that was a bad idea. She had fled before Raven could fully comprehend what Jinx had done.

So as Jinx re-lit her candles and looked around the room suspiciously one last time, she resolved that she would do this. She would gain full control over her emotions. Just like Raven had.

A/N: Yes, I did just write shoujo-ai, if anyone remembers I had it in my bio one time that I'd write it sooner or later. Granted it may not be all that great, but I'm not quite as comfortable in the TT section as I am in the Naruto section, or so it seems to me...
