Ah, window shopping. A girl's best hobby. And Jinx was no exception of the rule. Nothing cheered her up more than to look around the different lovely little shops for something random and pretty to wear. Especially jewelry. Sure, she had a, let's say, special way of window shopping. It was the evil way anyway.
Jinx grinned down at the pretty necklace on the jewelry store. Oh! And that bracelet to match. And the earrings. And those other earrings looked nice too.
Wearing the same pleased grin she waved her hand over the window, making it crash loudly. Of course, as soon as that happened, people around her started to run away, and the alarm went off. Not that she minded it much.
Jinx just reached out and grabbed the pretty bracelet, placing it over her wrist to see how good it would look. Ah, she needed to get shorter sleeves for this one. Oh, maybe with that necklace...
Surely no one would be stupid enough to interrupt her special 'me' time, right?

Alex was walking down the street when he heard the crash of the glass. Aaw, why now? I was just taking a nice walk, he thought unhappily as he walked into the store and stood just outside the doorway as the few people in the store rushed to get out. Sizing up the situation, his shoulders slumped. Great, it's a girl. I hate fighting chicks![/color]
"Um, excuse me ma'am, but I'm going to have you to put those things back," Alex said behind Jinx, only slightly confident of himself. He hadn't really done this much before, and it was his first time doing it in Jump City. Furthermore, he hadn't changed into his Anubis form yet either, so he was essentially in his jeans and a jacket without a shirt or shoes.

Jinx was just so happily and innocently window shopping. Who would want to mess up her fun? She turned around with a bored expression, obviously upset at having someone interrupt her shopping spree.
He didn't look like much. And he wasn't wearing that ridiculous Teen Titans communicator either. "Are you supposed to be a good guy or something?" She asked in a flat tone, still putting on the many jewels she'd selected for herself. As always, Jinx wasn't being all that greedy. She was just taking what she liked and leaving what she didn't. No need of having a thousand things she would never wear.
She turned completely, wearing her lovely bracelets and necklaces and she smirked at the guy that was oh so pleasantly asking her to stop. She placed her hands on her hips, looking as confident as ever. Jinx had always thought of her powers as a curse but they certainly could be handy in these cases.
"What are you going to do about it?"

Alex was feeling a bit more confident now, but he still failed to realize that he had forgotten his communicator in his room in the Tower. He would have usually put it on a chain and worn it around his neck, but clearly he'd forgotten all about it.
"Oh, not much. I was thinking I'd just call upon the power of some god of the Underworld. You know, an everyday thing like that," Alex said laughing. He laughed like he was joking about it, though he did kind of mean it.
A breeze blew through the store, causing Alex's jacket to billow in its wake and reveal more of his chest, though still not very impressive with it's lack of chest hair or muscle.
"But you know, I really don't want to do that. So why not just put those jewels and pretty things back and tell the nice store owner you're sorry? After that, I think we'll be good."

Jinx rolled her eyes at the guy. Really? A god of the Underworld? "Am I supposed to be afraid of that?" She retorted back with a deep frown. She took a step closer to the boy, obviously showing him she wasn't afraid. Jinx wasn't one to run away from a fight. Well, not until it was certain she wasn't going to win.
The next bit almost made her laugh. Oh, say she was sorry? She placed a hand over her chest, her face immediately showing regret. "Do you think- you think he can forgive me?" She asked in a worried voice. "But then... then what will I do?" She added, taking another step loser. "I can't be good... can I? Is it possible that it's not too late for me?"
It was all said with the best acting skills she could manage. But then, her worried look turned into an evil smirk as she stretched her hand in front of her. "Nah. I'll rather keep these." And she sent a wave of pink sparks to the place he was standing, immediately breaking the concrete.
If he wanted a fight he had it. Besides, she was rather curious about what he meant with the whole underworld god thingie he had just said.

Alex actually bought the act... All the way up until she broke the ground beneath his feet. "Of course! Everyone can receive forgiveneee~eess..." he said, losing his balance at the end due to the lack of ground beneath his feet. Luckily there was still enough time to jump off the piece of concrete he was standing on and leap to safety behind him.
"You know, I don't think you're giving a serious effort to this whole 'good' thing," Alex said, raising his hand to cover his face.
"By the power of Anubis!" he said loudly. He moved his hand away from his face and as he did so, light started to pour out of his eyes. The light intensified continuously until there was no way anyone could see.
Suddenly the light vanished and all that was left was Anubis, his eyes glowing. "Now will you give up calmly?" he growled from his jackal mouth.

Jinx smile kept in place a she jumped out of the way. "Really? What was your first clue?" She replied, almost laughing at his reply. Did he really think she was going to give up stealing just because he said so? It would need a hell more than that for her to change her ways. Probably incarceration or death.
Of course then he yelled that little mantra of his and she had to shield her face with her arms, closing her eyes tightly, at the bright light that came from him. What the hell?
The voice that followed had changed into something much deeper, and she slowly dropped her arms, blinking as she looked up at the monster in front of her. "What are you? A power ranger or something?" She asked while pursing her lips. She wasn't impressed. Having being surrounded by so many... things in the H.I.V.E. she really should had seen it coming. The boy hadn't looked all that impressive by himself.
Jinx jumped backwards and smirked again. "Now, be a good puppy and go away, or I'll have to teach you a lesson." She raised her arms again and waved at the two street lamps beside the dog face. The waves of pink hit them and the two lamps started to fall towards the man.
He probably had more powers than turning into a dog, right?

Anubis dodge one lamp, letting it hit the wall beside him, knocking off a bunch of rubble. He caught the other one, deciding it'd be good as a weapon. He swung it like a bat, right at the girl. She should be ok. Yeah, she's been doing ok so far, so a pole to the face should be alright, he thought considerately, not knowing if the girl could handle being hit with a lightpole.
"I was about to ask you the same thing. But no matter. I am no Power Ranger. I am Anubis, son of Anpu, the God of the Death and Renewal," he announced, hefting the pole and readying his swing. "So what are you? Some form of evil Power Puff Girl?"
Anubis swung the pole, not exactly at full power, but not without force either. He didn't know if this would work, but he didn't see how she could get out of it, so it should work, he guessed.

Of course she should had seen it coming. The puppy had super strength, just like Mammoth. Fortunately, brawl usually meant slow. Well, at least for Jinx ability to jump around like the black cat she looked like. She managed to jump away from the first swing, almost losing her step as she landed on the broken concrete.
"Anubis?" She repeated, smirking at the dog faced man, "I think I like Fido better." Maybe it wasn't the best thing to joke around about. So he was a good guy. Ugh. Why wouldn't they all disappear and let her be? She wasn't hurting anyone! Just stealing some nice jewelry for herself. Couldn't girl have nice stuff from time to time.
Of course when he called her a Power Puff girl, Jinx huffed in anger, "Hey! Don't call-" And he swung the other pole at her, hitting her straight on the arm. Jinx was actually pushed by the power of it, being physically weak when it came to those attacks. She had been distracted!
She fell to the ground, holding her arm and glaring at Anubis, "Didn't your mom ever tell you not to hit girls!" She yelled from her spot raising her arm at him and sending pink waves all around to the ground. The concrete broke under him again. She just hoped it would work. Jinx was usually stronger when fighting on a team, not fighting by herself.

Fido? Did she really just call me Fido? Anubis thought. He couldn't believe she was still treating him like some kind of common mut. He did not find this treatment fitting for the son of an Underworld god, though Anubis doubted she cared who he was the son of. "For your information, I'm not a dog. I'm a jackal."
But then the pink waves hit the ground and the concrete began to break. Right where Anubis was standing, the concrete split open to reveal a large patch of mud beneath. He tried to keep both feet on the concrete, but as the two pieces moved apart, he slowly lost his balance and eventually ended up face first in mud.
Thoroughly embarrassed, Anubis tried standing. All he managed to do was slip back into the mud and embarrass himself more. Through more effort, he finally managed to get back on his hands and knees.
"She might have, but I seem to have something stuck in my ears, so hearing is a bit difficult you see," Anubis retorted as he wiped some mud off of his face. He picked up a large clump of mud and threw it at the girl. Seeing this as a possible tactic, he threw more mud while trying to get out of the mud.

"I know you're talking, but all I hear is 'Woof woof'" She replied back, laughing a little at the fact that he actually seemed affected by being called a dog. Hey, he looked like one. It wasn't as if he didn't know that.
"Down, boy!" She added, trying to stand up from her spot on the ground as she managed to make him fall down. She laughed loudly again when she saw him all covered in mud. Alright! That ought to teach him not to mess with bad luck herself.
"Hey!" She yelled at him once a big chunk of mud managed to hit her straight on the face. She covered her face with her arms, wincing at the pain as she moved. Ugh, that was going to leave a mark.
"Stop... throwing... MUD!" He really wasn't doing good at proving the fact that he wasn't a dog. He looked like one, digging on the ground. Jinx's eyes went pink as she made the mud under him explode. Well, that had been pointless. Not like she could get him even dirtier.
Jinx turned to leave the scene. If she fled then she would keep her jewelry and actually gloat to the H.I.V.E. that she managed to take down a good guy. It would be one of her 'girls are equals to guys' stories. Of course, she didn't know what said good guy had in mind...

"Oh bite me," was all he think of as a good reply to her "woof, woof" and "Down, boy!" comments. Seriously, didn't she get it that a Demigod should be getting more respect than this? Whatever. She'd learn.
But then she made the mud beneath his explode. Not actually explode with flames, but it did fling him into the air and back onto solid concrete with a resounding "Oof." He would probably have a nice bruise on his back in the morning.
He got up, shook himself like a dog to rid his fur of the mud, and turned to the girl, who was now looking as if she'd leave the scene. I guess she can handle herself then. Good, cus' now I don't have to worry about hurting her, much, Alex thought.
His glowing eyes fired a single bolt at the ground in front of the girl. "Sorry, but the party ain't over yet."

Bite me? Really? That was the best comeback he could figure out? Jinx actually laughed loudly at that one, throwing her head back and almost crying. Ah, it was rich! "Why?" She asked between laughs, "All barks and no bite?" She laughed even harder as she said that, finding all the dog puns hilarious. Ah, if only all her battles were this amusing.
And now Jinx was off. She was running away when a bolt smashed the ground right in front of her, making her stop just barely before getting hurt. What the hell? She turned to glare at the dogman and prepared herself for battle. Oh, they were going serious this time?
"I didn't think so." She said in a low voice, smirking all the same. This just got interesting. She raised her arms, her hands wide open and her eyes shone pink as beams of pink light left her hands. She hit the building next to Anubis, making it crumble after a few beams.
It was hard for Jinx to make an entire building collapse but she was not going to let Fido win. Even more important, she was so NOT going to lose the pretty jewels she just got!

As she fired her pink beams, Anubis was already heading right for her, though he had to duck beneath the beams to avoid getting hit. That was when the building started falling. Hmm, dodge and allow collateral damage, or stop it from falling and possibly get crushed? I think I'll dodge, he thought as he turned into an actual jackal. It was faster, but weaker and couldn't shoot lasers from its eyes.
Luckily the only things that got crushed with the building were few and most were insignificant. Unluckily, one of those things was Anubis's tail. It was caught beneath a large piece of rubble. When it hit, Anubis yelped in pain. Also, Anubis couldn't change form while there wasn't room.
"Hey, I know we're not exactly friends and we were just fighting, but could you help a poor puppy out?" Anubis said, putting on the best puppy-dog look he could manage while in pain. He even went the extra mile and whimpered, though it didn't take much motivation to make him do that right now while his tail was in pain.

"Yes!" Jinx beamed as the building started to fall on top of the mandog, automatically thinking she'd won. Of course, she didn't count on the fat that he could transform all the way into a dog too. So she started to move away.
That was until she heard the dog talk. Jinx turned back, raising an eyebrow at the trapped puppy. Dogs made Jinx nervous, being the black cat she was, but she still could feel sorry for a poor whimpering puppy.
"You're not that smart, are you?" She replied, taking a few steps forward, her hands on her hips, looking haughty, "I'm a bad guy, er girl." She said letting out a huff. "And you're the good guy. We don't get along. We don't help each other. It's just the way it is." It wasn't as if any of the Teen Titans had ever had any compassion for any of them. Jinx had been thrown around, pushed, smashed and punched and any other kind of 'ow' inducers and no one ever helped her up. And she was a girl! She ought to be treated with some gentleness and respect. And now here he was, the puppy with the big eyes and funny looking ears asking for some help.
Damn you conscience. Jinx wasn't stupid. She knew the moment she released him he would jump at her and finish the job. She'd gotten lucky, she knew so, but it still counted as a win, right? It should! She got one of the good guys. But she also knew she wasn't as bad as the others.
With a sigh she snapped her fingers, letting the rubble on top of the puppy break in pieces as the pink beam reached it. Jinx huffed down at the dog again before turning, walking slowly away. She didn't say anything, actually embarrassed at the fact that a waggling tail had made her react like that.
