Girl-U-Want by King Cheetah
Part Two - Half Truths, Lies, and Alibis
None of these characters are mine, but it'll take more than that to slow me down...
Rated PG-13, Beast Boy/Jinx pairing, and knowing me, they'll be LOTS of naughty goings on. Robin/Raven action down the road.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----
The car was ancient and unremarkable, in stark contrast to it's occupants. A 1995 Ford Probe, it was sleek, sexy and wild... in it's day. Now it was a faded beauty in the care of her last lover. Beast Boy found her in a police impound lot and used his own brand of magic to secure it's bail. Working secretly for two weeks in a rented garage space, he brought the beast back to it's wild, untamed past. All in all, $2000.00 well spent, with the JYNX-ME vanity plates costing another fifty. And when the time came for her to aid in their escape, she was more than up to the task.
Endless stretch of highway to nowhere in particular.
Flatlands.
Wasteland.
Desert.
It roars with it's own hidden life, but to the senses of most people, only emptiness. He looked out at the vast panoply of the desert vista, marveling at all he could detect there. A thousand types of critters with a thousand stories of their daily fight for survival. It was not their environs that so tried them, but each other. He knows all the stories all to well and has lived most of them at one time or another. Kill or be killed. Eat or be eaten. The circle of life. As a seagull had once told him, either you're food, or you're not. In the dog eat dog world of super powers, he and Jinx had decided to take themselves out of the food chain.
He at the wheel, she slept fitfully at shotgun. Jinx was like porcelain; delicate, fragile, a thing to be cherished above all other things in his life. In the year of their courtship, she'd softened and grown as her own person. Unseen by all within the H.I.V.E., she'd lost her taste for mayhem, preferring an orderly, controlled existence, preferably with a certain bestial Titan always within easy reach. Whether meaning to or not, Beast Boy had filled a void in her life that she'd spent a good deal of her time ignoring, but his mere presence was enough to force it's acknowledgment. She was lonely beyond all human reason.
That night a year ago, she celebrated her coming of age on several levels. As good as his word, that evening, Beast Boy met her at the four star restaurant atop the Hyatt Regency overlooking the bay. Given their past encounters, she'd fully expected him to arrive in costume, but was delighted to see him looking very sharp in suit and tie, which he wore with the easy grace of a rodeo clown. Gift in hand, he treated her to the single greatest evening in her entire life, as he flattered, flirted, teased and tempted her with a cleaver wit and charming manner. On the dance floor, he reminded her how a young lady should be treated on her most important of birthdays, and walking on the pier after dinner, he reminded her of how fond she'd always secretly been of him.
She awoke with a start as they stopped for gas. He smiled that ready smile, "Stretch your legs, baby?" She nodded as he moved around to her side of the car to open her door for her.
Rubbing her eyes and she looks around her.
A truckstop, and a rather large one at that.
An oasis of concrete and commerce in this tranquil sea of rock and sand. Despite what one thinks of the desert, the air was cool, actually somewhat chilled and she slowly rubbed her arms to jump-start her circulation. Around them, other motorists and truckers hurried and scurried about to some seeming choreography, busied at a dozen separate tasks, yet seemingly to a specific end. Like a hive, she thought...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
Subaltern Commander Sprexis was a lean and wiry octogenarian with a subtle but cautious manner. Seated on the dais of the H.I.V.E. outpost lab in the eastside city park, he considered Jinx for an uncomfortably long time. Old trick, she yawned inside. Try and sweat me with time. She stood proud and erect before the old man as she mentally recited all that Beast Boy had taught her. Be prepared for everything, expect nothing. Wait for him to make the first move. Stupid old fossil, she thought. Why must the H.I.V.E. poke it's collective nose into her business?
Sighing heavily, the Subaltern spoke softly but deliberately, "Special Operative Jinx, is it?"
"Yes, Subaltern Commander." she said smartly. You know it is, you old turd.
"Ah the, yes... You... you were a part of that bit of ugliness downtown several months ago, weren't you. Someone's little science fair project got loose as I understand it, yes?"
"I was not assigned to that facility, Subaltern Commander, so I cannot say for sure what transpired, only that I was one of a handful of people to escape." she said, knowing that he was attempting to lay a few verbal land mines before her.
"Yes, and a most impressive escape it was too, with the aid of one of the Titans, as I've heard it. Most impressive." said the old man with a bit of a drawl.
"The Titan Beast Boy was attempting an unsuccessful insertion into the facility when the biovore went on it's rampage. Injured in his initial encounter, he was easily put to use in escaping the situation. Are not all things tools for the advancement of the H.I.V.E., Subaltern Commander?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
Chuckling softly, he said, "Don't quote dogma to me, agent Jinx. So then, you used him to escape from lab 466, and have maintained contact with him since that time, is that not correct?"
"Yes, Subaltern Commander. The Titan Beast Boy is weak willed and easily manipulated, giving us a ready source of information of activities within the Teen Titans." she said, affecting a slight smile.
"Really now? And how are you maintaining control over this resource? What type of persuasion are you bringing to bare in order to secure this intelligence?"
She paused a moment for effect, then smiled, "By any means necessary, Subaltern Commander." That means I'm fucking him, you old perv. That's what you wanted to hear, right? she thought.
He sat quietly for a long time, then finally said, "Your initiative is to be commended agent Jinx, and rest assured that I'll recommend you to the Instrumentality for special reward..." he paused to rub his chin, scrutinizing her carefully, "But I think this Beast Boy can be put to better use. Arrange for his capture this very night and have him delivered to Lab 287."
"It shall be done, Subaltern Commander!" she said without hesitation. He suspected she was lying, so here was the test of her loyalty to the H.I.V.E. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she just knew that Gizmo was somehow the cause of all this.
The old man seemed ever so slightly surprised by here reaction, but pleased none the less.
"For this task and the greater glory of the H.I.V.E., I would request a few items to aid in this task, Subaltern Commander. I would requisition two assault drones and a brace of nueraletic stunners." she said officiously. He's expecting my to try and weasel out of this somehow, but I'll charge in with guns blazing.
"Drones and heavy weapons, agent Jinx?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"If we are take Beast Boy alive and in one piece, I want maximum support and minimal screw ups, Subaltern Commander." he said firmly.
And again, he considered her for the longest time, "Very well, special agent Jinx."
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------
Beast Boy fiddled with the pump and silently prayed that his credit card was still good. Master Card, it was gold with the Titans logo boldly emblazoned on it's front, keyed to their joint checking account. He'd kept careful track to make sure that he removed no money from the account that he wasn't absolutely sure was his. Give them no excuse to come looking for them. Holding his breath, he swipes the card through the reader.
PAYMENT DECLINED. PLEASE SEE CASHIER INSIDE.
Thanks a lot guys...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------
It wasn't so much the insulting nature of the questions nor the insulting manner in which they were asked that bugged Beast Boy so much. It was the smug little look on Robin's face as he asked them. The interrogation was into it's third hour and all the Titan's were getting stressed out and edgy. Sitting back in his chair, arms crossed, he looked at Robin and said, "Hold on, I'm not sure I understand the question."
Robin looked close to violence, "At any time that you snuck Jinx into the tower, did you ever leave her alone, for even a minute. Was she EVER out of your sight."
"No." said Beast Boy dispassionately. He actually couldn't remember if he had or not, but he'd grown angry and bored with the whole thing and was less inclined to be helpful.
"Um, Robin? Perhaps all questioning that will yield useful information have been-" said Starfire.
"STARFIRE, JUST STAY OUT OF THIS!!" raged Robin, almost bringing her to tears.
On his feet in an instant, Beast Boy cried, "All right, that's it! You can badger me all you want, but Star didn't deserve that!"
Pausing, Robin's fury seemed to be spent, then weakly he said, "Um yeah. I'm sorry Starfire. That was uncalled for. Sorry." she brightened a bit at the apology.
"Guys, what's the point of all this? Raven could do a scan on me to see if I was hiding anything, and Cyborg has duty logs that would show if someone was monkeying with the system. Have you guys tried checking that stuff?" Their uncomfortable silence told him that they had and still found nothing.
"It's one thing not to trust me anymore," he said softly, "But do you not even trust each other anymore?" More silence.
"I... I just wish you guys would give me a little credit, that's all. We've all grown a lot since Terra. We... oh never mind." he said softly and turned to leave.
"Hold up. Where are you going?" asked Raven.
He just looked at her a minute and said, "I need some air, then I'm going to bed. We can talk some more in the morning." They weren't happy with this, but no move to stop him.
In a way, he couldn't blame them. Terra's betrayal was a hammer blow to each and everyone of them. While he himself had shown the most outward grief at her actions, the rest of the team buried it deep within them, but it was always there, seeming to rear it's head at the most inopportune moments. Just as he reached the roof, his communicator buzzed for his attention. Checking it, all the color drained from his face. It was a special signal they'd created months ago to alert him of danger, but danger of a specific sort. On the tiny screen in his hand flashed the Japanese kanji for the words "Wasp Swarm". The H.I.V.E. had discovered their relationship. Time to burn some bridges.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
Bending down, he rummaged around under the driver seat and retrieved his cash.
$12,000.00, everything he owned, all in one hand.
An old life sold off for a new one. Memories as currency.
Peeling off a pair of twenties, he ventures inside, Jinx close behind. Smiling, he wraps his arm around her and kisses her on the temple. She looked at the ground as they walked and said, "You gave up a lot to save me, Gar."
"Not really." he said smiling.
"Huh? Don't you miss your friends?" she asked, hugging his side.
"Not yet." was all he'd say. She hugged him close and let it drop.
Jiggling bell and the white noise of dozens of low conversations. Gather supplies.
Gatorade, peanuts, finger snacks. Almond Joys for her sweet tooth. Maps. Sodas.
She looks over the fruit basket and picks out a few things she thinks he might want to nibble on.
Pay out. The old cashier eyes them approvingly. An ancient, toothless smile free with every fillup! Impulse buy, he grabs her a wrapped rose from can at the register. Kissing his cheek, she gleefully smells it all the way to the car.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------
As the blood soaked body of Jinx hit the ground, the huge green bear turned his attention to the two drone warriors that had accompanied her. The nueroletic stun gun having had no visible effect on Beast Boy, they did what any sensible person would do. Throwing their arms aside, they fled off into the night. Letting rip with a bestial ursine roar, Beast Boy waited a few moments until he could no longer smell them. Satisfied that the coast was clear, he shifted down into his true form and looked down at the bloodied body of Jinx.
"Get up you faker, they're gone." he smiled, hands on hips.
Grinning, she leapt up and into his arms, "You really do love me to death, y'know that?"
Laughing for a moment, his mood sobered, "Um, now what? You can't hang around in Jump City, that's for damn sure." She looked unsure. While they'd made plans for what to do if discovered, each had to admit that it had come into play a lot sooner than either had expected.
Thinking for a moment, Beast boy finally said quietly, "I guess we better get out of Jump City. Not much here for either of us anymore."
"Gar? You can't mean that." she was astonished at what she was hearing.
Hugging her close, he whispered, "A lot of people in this town seem to have a problem with the two of use together. I'll need about a week, so I'll stash you at a motel until we're ready to roll. Okay?"
She looked up at him, but said nothing. Taking a moment to be be with him, she stepped back and move to retreived the discared stun rifles. Checking each over carefully, she smiled as she brushed a little grime from the butt of one of them.
"You jinxed those pretty well actually. I barely felt a thing." smiled Beast Boy.
"Yeah, but I'll having them running perfectly in just a few minutes. I snuck the needed repair parts out with me." she said, looking over the sights.
"Huh? Why? What'll we need with these things?" he asked puzzled.
Laughing a little, she said, "Baby, I can fence these things for a couple a thousand dollars a piece. That's travelling money we'll need." and moved forward to kiss him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
Jinx asked to drive with a hopeful glint in her eye. Exhausted, he nodded without protest.
She took a moment to cast an eye back down the road they'd just come from.
Nothing back that way for them... at all.
Adjusting the seat, she started the engine and smiled at him, "Where can I take you?"
He took her hand and kissed it, "I'm already there."
Drive away. Miles Per Hour... distance, not speed.
Fade to black....
To Be Continued...
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
This one is going to go in some odd directions, but stick with it, I think you'll enjoy it. Chapters should be shorter from here on out, and you patient Robin/Raven shippers will be rewarded in the next chapter as a few dark secret from within the ranks of the Titans begin to emerge.
Note to the reviewer who thought the kissing in chapter one was a little too soon. Dude, they just escaped an unbelievable horrible dead by the skins of their teeth. You're lucky that they weren't doing MORE than that to celebrate! ^__^
As always, I use reviews as a barometer, so if you want more of something, lemme know.
Keep reading', keep written'!
