A/N: I’ve accepted that this sentence will pointlessly repeat itself for no reason at all

A/N: I’ve accepted that this sentence will pointlessly repeat itself for no reason at all. Stupid . Please ignore it.

Jinx shifted her weight nervously from foot to foot as she looked at the boys and tried to force words to come out of her mouth.

“Remember Psitron?” Jinx asked them.

“Wait, that guy that like, hypnotised you into going all OCD for days?” Gizmo asked raising a thick eyebrow.

“Oh man, I remember that, she was all like ‘Must. Wash. Hands’ it was hilarious!” Billy guffawed obnoxiously, one of his clones slapped him on the back appreciatively.

“Heheh, yeah that lasted for like a week in the end, even if she wasn’t as bad at the end, all you had to do was mention water and she was off!” See-More giggled in agreement.

“Anyway.” Jinx announced with a warning tone in her voice, “I’m pretty sure our red and yellow friend here’s had a run in with him.” Jinx said jerking her head in Kid Flash’s direction. Kid Flash’s eyes widened at this, Jinx’s hair was always so restrained in those horns, he wondered what it would look like loose. He ignored Gizmo asking Jinx what it was that he was fixated on as he reached up and popped open the circular hair fastening that ran around her horns, with a crackle of hairgel giving in to the weight, Jinx’s hair flopped down on one side.

“Ooh.” Kid Flash said feeling delighted, he promptly buried his face in the loose pink hair and inhaled the smell of Jinx and hair products.

“Uh. Me it seems.” Jinx answered Gizmo’s question awkwardly. There was a collective pause in which you could have had heard someone drop a pin across town, the heavy silence was suddenly broken by a cacophony of laughter from the boys. Jinx’s face burned with anger and embarrassment as the idiots rolled around on the floor laughing their dumb asses off.

“Shut up!” She shrieked at them stamping her foot on the ground. Kid Flash pulled his head back at her sudden change of mood and regarded her worridly, he looked from her to the laughing boys and his expression darkened considerably. No one had time to react as Kid Flash hurtled across the room and kicked Billy as hard as he could muster, sending him flying high in the air and crashing into the giant TV, in another second he had leapt upon Mammoth wrapping his hands around his neck and squeezing.

“Stop!” Jinx shouted urgently, Kid Flash’s hands stilled but didn’t leave Mammoth’s neck and he looked up alertly at Jinx.

“Don’t!” She commanded, Kid Flash seemed to consider this as the other members of the HIVE five lay frozen and stared at Kid Flash fearing that any movement would attract his limited attention span onto them.

“Don’t strangle him?” Kid Flash asked carefully.

“Yes, don’t strangle him.” Jinx said slowly as if talking to a child, Kid Flash obediently loosened his grip a little but left his hands on his throat.

“But they were laughing at you, making you mad.” Kid Flash said giving Jinx adoring puppy dog eyes.

“Doesn’t mean you can strangle them.” Jinx reasoned, her hand on her hip.

“Want I should throw them in a lake instead? Prison? Another country? They won’t laugh at you then.” Kid Flash offered helpfully, Jinx seemed to consider this.

“Don’t tempt me.” She muttered, Kid Flash seemed slightly confused at this response, “No, don’t do any of those. Just… leave them alone. Unless I tell you otherwise.” Jinx added as an afterthought. Kid Flash got off of Mammoth and ran to Jinx’s side apparently happy to be close to her again.

“Just… sit still and be quiet okay? I need to think.” Jinx sighed wearily, Kid Flash obediently hopped up onto the control panel behind Jinx and swung his legs happily. Finally feeling safe the HIVE five boys got up still eyeing Kid Flash warily.

“Since when did heroes try to strangle people?” Mammoth muttered rubbing his neck.

“I suppose since they’ve been fixated on other things other than their moral principles, if the only thing he’s thinking about is me then it’s not surprising that he’s not thinking how he normally would.” Jinx shrugged not particularly caring.

“So does that make him what… amoral?” Gizmo questioned.

“You mean he’d commit crimes if we asked him?” See-More asked wide eyed as he latched onto the idea, the boys looked at Kid Flash wide eyed, the first time they’d caught him at their base See-More had brought up the idea of ‘brainwashing him to make him steal stuff for us’ and now it might actually be as possibility and they didn’t even have to brain wash him.

“Would you steal stuff if we asked?” Gizmo asked hopefully.

“I wouldn’t do anything if you asked me you mook.” Kid Flash snorted at him.

“And if I asked you?” Jinx asked raising a non-existent eyebrow.

“Anything.” Kid Flash swooned at Jinx.

“So… Jinx… if you ask him, he’ll steal stuff for us.” Gizmo mused.

“Do it! Ask him!” See-More urged, Kyd Wykkyd nodded in eager agreement.

“Are you kidding me? The obsession lasts intensely for a day or two at most, the rest of it lasting at the very longest a week. Do you know what’ll happen to us when he gets his senses back and the Titans find out that we’ve made him steal for us?” Jinx said gesturing wildly.

“Aww since when have you been scared of the Titans Jinx?” Billy drawled in a pout. Jinx’s mouth open and shut uselessly, Kid Flash leant forward and blew air across her ear, Jinx tried to swat him away but apparently only encouraging him to lick her neck.

“Stop it!” Jinx commanded waving a hand at him.

“They’re gonna kill us if we do this, you know that.” Jinx snapped angrily.

“Come on, what can they do? It’s not like they’re gonna break the law, all we’ll gonna get is thrown in jail again and you know we’ll be out of there in a week, a month maybe at most.” Gizmo shrugged.

“Yeah he’ll steal things if we- you just ask.” Mammoth corrected himself.

“No way.” Jinx said shaking her head.

“Come on there’s nothing you want?” Billy cooed temptingly.

“No.” Jinx pouted.

“I’ll get you anything you want.” Kid Flash chipped in running a hand down her back.

“See, he wants to!” See-More said encouragingly.

“You don’t even want that good-luck necklace?” Gizmo smiled temptingly at her. Jinx’s eye twitched at this as the idea crept around her.

“Maybe,” She said with a small smile, “Just a few things…”

“Yes!” The boys cheered happily.

Kid Flash zipped back into the base carrying the third armload of stolen goods that he’d returned with so far, he dropped them in the middle of the base with the other stuff that he’d stolen before zipping over to Jinx adoringly.

“Anything else?” He asked kneeling in front of her.

“Uh…?” Jinx said looking out over the boys who were inspecting the latest haul.

“Ooh! Ooh! How about the three latest next gen games consoles?” Gizmo chirped happily, Kid Flash glowered at him before looking at Jinx who reluctantly nodded and waved a hand at Kid Flash who nodded and ran off again.

“Or how about that necklace that you lot tempted me into this colossally bad idea with?” Jinx snapped, Kid Flash nodded and disappeared again.

“The Titans are going to kill us.” Jinx moaned burying her head in her hands, she could feel in her gut that this was a bad plan but she just couldn’t resist that necklace and they knew it. Kid Flash re-appeared with the necklace in his hands and a big smile on his face. He walked behind Jinx and pulled the cool metal of the necklace around her neck and fastened it with a definitive clip. Jinx paused and stroked the gem in the centre fondly.

“You look beautiful.” Kid Flash breathed as he looked at her in the mirror across the room. Jinx smiled and clenched a fist, pink energy crackled dangerously.

“I look powerful.” She corrected him with a dark grin.

“As I said.” Kid Flash smiled at her, Jinx grinned and stood up.

“Come on boys, we’re going to go pull of some of the biggest robberies in this cities history.” Jinx said in a voice that was half purr as she got up from her chair and sauntered across the room to the door.

“This city is going to wish they never heard our name.” Jinx said with a remarkably predatory smile.

“What do you want me to do?” Kid Flash asked hopefully, Jinx turned to him and shot him a predatory grin.

“Exactly what I tell you to.” She replied and headed for the door.
