Oh Fine!

“You actually liked me, didn’t you? You weren’t just trying to trick me to convince me to help you.” I asked her just before I was about to walk out of the room and find my friends.

“Yes, I did! You were so nice to me even though I was officially an enemy. Not to mention you didn’t just write me off as a nuisance or a wanna-be just because I was girl, unlike your friends. I mean, I once heard Robin call me a ‘stupid whinny bitch’ right in front of Starfire and instead of chastising him for being so crude she just laughed! You’d think a kind hearted girl like her would have stood up for me but no.” Jinx told me, looking as if at any moment she could break down into tears.

It hadn’t dawned on me before now but I guess villains have feelings too. It must be really hard to be hated by everyone in town.

“Plus you have a really cute butt!”

Was she serious? I would have normally thought that was a joke but she wasn’t taking a goofy pose or giggling like she normally would when she poked fun at an adversary. Does that mean she was serious?

“I’m sorry about hurting your feelings; I had assumed we were in a regular game of cat and mouse. If it makes you feel any better I’ve never considered you a nuisance. In fact I’ve always thought you could be a much bigger threat then any of the other villains you associated with.”

I wanted to make her feel better and I figured saying what I said would do the job. It probably helped that I actually meant what I was saying.

The technology used in the cold plasma shield had been designed to account for almost any difficulty. In fact, the shield allowed objects to pass into the cell while still preventing the occupant from escaping. This way anyone held prisoner could still be provided with food and water without the **** field needing to be dropped.

With that in mind, I pushed my arm through the field and into the cell.

“Despite being enemies, I hope we can still be friends.” I said, extending her my hand in friendship. She took my hand and for a moment things seemed fine but then I felt a powerful tug, strong enough to through me off balance. Before I knew it I had tripped and fallen inside of the cage.

“Why did you pull me in here? Wait… was everything you told me a…” I began to ask her.

“No no no! I didn’t lie, cross my heart!” She told me as she literally ran her fingers a crossed her heart, “I hope I didn’t hurt you when I pulled you in but I had too. You see, I’m still convinced we can be MORE then friends. Hopefully A LOT MORE.”

I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was stare blankly.

“Why do you people keep this room so cold? I’m freezing!” Jinx muttered before producing some very unconvincing shivers, “I hope you don’t mind if I snuggle up to you for warmth.”
