Left

You bolt down the left path, hoping you made the right choice.

Once again, the alley doesn’t branch out. You follow the pavement forward, but with every turn you make you become more convinced that your choice was incorrect. It isn’t until you reach a dead end that you curse at your choice and kick over a trash can in anger.

The sound of an empty bottle rolling behind you catches your attention, and you turn around to face it. You don’t know how she managed it, but Jinx had managed to get behind you. And she brought friends.

One was a big, hairy guy in a black, sleeveless jumpsuit. The other one was small enough to mistake for a child, and wore a green outfit with a metal pod on his back that connected him to four large metal legs like a spiders, keeping him at an appropriate height to look you in the eyes. That is, if your TV helmet didn’t completely hide your face from them.

Jinx giggles to herself before addressing you.

“Looks like you picked the wrong path. Bad luck, huh?”

You wonder if she’s just having fun with her “unlucky” gimmick or if she’s legitimately implying that her powers did, in fact, mess up the odds in her favor.

“Never seen this guy before. What do we do with him?” the big guy spoke. You think his name is Mammoth?

“Who cares!? Let’s just kick his butt and get back to the plan!” Tiny yelled. You honestly don’t care what his name is.

“Easy boys. We should at least get to know which team he plays for. Another pair of hands could help us out.” Jinx responds.

“Umm…I’m not gay, if that’s what you’re looking for. And even if I were, your friend’s aren’t my type. Especially Tiny there,” you said. The green one’s head immediately boils over red in anger.

“Why I oughta!!” he cries out.

Jinx only laughs while Mammoth keeps his teammate from leaping at you.

“What I mean,” she begins, “is that we need to know if you’re on our side, or theirs.” As she finishes, she points to the rooftop above you, you can make out two female forms in the air and three males on the roof itself. One look is all it takes to confirm their identity.

The Teen Titans.
