Jinx looks up at the ceiling, reaching her hand out for something-anything. She's bored, the only thing keeping her company are the voices in her head. Mylo won't shut up, keeps calling her a jinx-and she knows that. A jinx that jinxs everything. A good for nothing.
When Jinx stares at her past self Powder, the girl who ended killing everyone, the girl who's sister left her, she thinks of weakness and she hates that. She keeps her dead self in the back of her head, stuffed who knows where. She's now Jinx, though only Silco and his goons know. The rest? Vi thinks she's the same ol' Powder. Jinx grits her teeth.
"SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUDDAP!" She grabs her hair and curls up into a ball. Mylo won't shut up, he's reading her brain like a book and now talking about her "partner". Yelling Caitlyn over and over.
"She's not leaving me, she wouldn't. Not again" She whispers under her breath, hands still clenching her hair, pulling it at this point. Mylo just doesn't understand. She looks at Claggor, who's sitting on the couch. He's not saying anything, not that he ever does.
"She left you again though didn't she? With those Firelights." Mylo whispers in her ears. Jinx's head snapped to her side, nothings there. She thinks about the Firelights, killing every one of them, they took her away. The leader, Ekko was it? Jinx chuckled and lets go at her hair.
"Boy Saviour.." She remembers them being friends at one point, he would be the last one to kill. She can imagine his face seeing his fellow Firelights killed. Though, a part of her doesn't want that. Why? She doesn't know. Is it because of Powder? Is she perhaps not dead anymore?
"Killing Ekko...wouldn't it be the best part though? The leaders of the Firelights, Silco would be even more proud of me." Jinx smiled
"Can you bring yourself to kill Little Man?" Mylo interrupted her thoughts. "You and him had a lot in common"
"Shut it" Jinx snapped at him. Though she agreed, they both loved tinkering with things when they were kids, Powder couldn't forget that. He was the only one close enough to her that actually saw her grow up into what she was now. Why couldn't he just join her and Silco? She'd admit, they would make a great team when working with bombs and whatnot. Was it because of Shimmer? She couldn't understand why. She thought about it more. If his fellow Firelights died, would he just give up? Have no hope for Zaun becoming a better place? Of course, she'd give him a hand to join Silco, though he would probably slap her hand away and end up with a miserable death. Jinx didn't want that.
Maybe, just maybe..she could spare the Firelights for a few more months before killing them? Or maybe, Jinx thought, years? She smiled, she has never thought about sparing anyone before.
He really was the Boy Saviour, his very existence saved them from a possible massacre. Jinx laughed out loud, imagining how stupid she sounds.
"hahahHA! Imagine me sparing someone for once" She wiped a tear from her eye, still smiling. Was this a sign? Someone saying she stills has some sense left in her?
"Boy Saviour" Jinx said calming down "You really are something, aren't you?"
