Chapter 6
When Seemore walked back into the living room, he sat down next to Kyd Wykkyd. His friend was concentrating on the game that he was playing with Cyborg so much that he didn't even notice him. Seemore watched the screen, highly confused as the complicated graphics. He couldn't even tell who's car was who's.
Suddenly, Kyd's face lit up but he remained concentrated.
"Aw, man! I cannot believe that you just passed me." Cyborg yelled. Seemore could now tell that Kyd Wykkyd was on the bottom and clearly in first place, but Cyborg was catching up. Cyborg tried to bump Kyd off the road. Kyd didn't expect this and fell into second place, but he returned the bump, pushing Cyborg's car into a ditch. Kyd Wykkyd went on with the race with no one to stop him from 1st place.
Once he passed the finish line, he silently gloated in Cyborg's face holding up one finger. Cyborg pushed it out of the way. "I let you win to be nice." Kyd Wykkyd rolled his eyes and gave Seemore a high five.
THE NEXT MORNING:
The next morning, Robin went to the living room to wake the villains. He found Kyd sleeping on the couch with the blanket wrapped around him and Seemore on the floor shivering. Kid Flash walked in behind his leader.
"How you going to wake them without pissing them off?" Kid Flash asked.
"I don't know. Did Jinx ever tell you what not to do?" Robin said.
"Well, she said never wake up Kyd within arms' and legs' distance or with water. But nothing about Seemore." Kid Flash walked over to Seemore and kicked him in the side before Robin could protest.
"Ow! What's wrong with you?" he asked, rubbing his side.
Instead of answering, Kid Flash demanded for him to wake up Kyd. Seemore shrugged and asked for a baseball. Kid Flash handed to him but he stepped back. "I ain't throwing that at him."
Robin rolled his eyes and took the ball. He lined up his shot and threw the ball at Kyd Wykkyd. Just before the ball hit him, Kyd Wykkyd disappeared. "Where'd he go?" Kid Flash asked. He felt someone tap his shoulder, turned around and saw a half pissed, half sleepy Kyd Wykkyd with bed head. "Someone should put a bell on you."
He pushed Kid Flash back onto his butt and Seemore grabbed him and pulled him away. "Alright, we're up. What do you want?"
"We're going to the hospital. Jinx has been acting strange and well, we want to see what's wrong."
"What's wrong with her?"
"We don't know obviously. So, you guys are going to talk to her and record it with a camera. "
"Let us talk about it for a moment."
Kyd, what do you think about it?
Well, I don't want to work for them, but I really want to see Jinx…
Seemore facepalmed himself. I cannot believe you right now. Why do you want to see her, she betrayed us. Family doesn't do that.
Well, you must not know my family then.
Seemore fell silent knowing he'd upset his best friend and only enforced his reason for going. Seemore turned to Robin and nodded. "We'll go."
AT THE HOSPITAL:
When they arrive to the hospital, they all sign in under their real names and walk to Jinx's room. Robin and Kid Flash stopped at a nearby waiting area, leaving Kyd Wykkyd and Seemore all on their own. Seemore made sure that the camera was rolling and nodded to Kyd. Kyd's hands were shaking as he opened the door.
Jinx turned away from the TV that she was watching and her face lit up. "Hi, guys! Where have you been? I was waiting for you to visit me. I'm so glad that you're both here." When she saw their expressions, she frowned and asked what was wrong.
Kyd Wykkyd reached into his cape and handed Jinx the note that he had meant to give to her. She read it and laughed. "You guys are funny. Different sides? Are you guys with those dumb Titans now? Seriously, classic Eliot."
Kyd Wykkyd turned away from her. He didn't know how much more he could take. He missed her so much. The way she laughed and made the room laugh with her. He'd wanted to see her but now that he was, he wasn't sure if it was such a good idea.
When Kyd snapped out of his thoughts he heard Seemore finish explaining what really happened. However, Jinx wasn't listening. She was telling Seemore her version of the story. "Look, what happened was we were fighting the Titans and Billy knocked me out with something really heavy. I forget what it was. Anyways, I forgive you guys. Now, Eliot, have you been a strong leader while I wasn't there?"
That was the last straw. Tears came flowing out of Kyd's eyes as he cried silently. Jinx reached out to him and he fell into her arms crying harder. If it was anyone else, Kyd would've kept himself together. But it wasn't just anyone, it was Jinx.
She petted his dark and wavy hair, quieting him. Jinx pulled him up so he was on her lap. She wiped away the remaining tears and pulled his body in so his head was resting on her shoulders. "I know it's harder than it looks. But you can do it, I know you can." She looked at Seemore standing awkwardly in the background. "Come here, Seymour." She wrapped her free arm around him and whispered, "Now both of you stay strong, okay? I'll come home as soon as I'm released and then we can all have a big party." The boys nodded. She kissed Seemore on the nose and Kyd Wykkyd on the cheek.
Seemore pulled Kyd Wykkyd off of Jinx's lap. "Jinx, we have to go now, but we'll be back when we can."
"You better." That was the only thing that she said before the boys left. Kyd felt tears coming to his eyes again. Seemore put his arm around his friend for comfort.
By the time they reached Robin and Kid Flash, Kyd had calmed down and was his usual emotionless self. But Seemore could tell that he was still shook up. He gave the camera to Robin and rushed out of the hospital, wanting to get himself and Kyd away. Kyd Wykkyd simply teleported them back to the Titan Tower.
"Thanks," Seemore told him. He nodded in response and leaned on him. Seemore put his arm around Kyd as he had seen Jinx do many times before. The two villains just sat there in silence.
"Are you dudes okay?" Beast Boy asked. Seemore just shooed him away with his laser eye. Robin and Kid Flash walked in then. Kyd Wykkyd waited for Robin's yelling for ditching them but nothing came.
LATE IN THE NIGHT:
In the middle of the night, Kyd's H.I.V.E. 5 communicator buzzed. His just texted since he was mute. He thought it was from the rest of the team but it was actually from Jinx.
It said: Meet me in the park now. Do not bring anyone. Not even Seemore.
Confused by the message, he doubted whether he should go, but he couldn't resist seeing Jinx again so he put on his supersuit and teleported to Jump City Park. He wandered aimlessly until someone grabbed his arm. He was lifted into the air until he stared at a dark face with only one eye. In the moonlight, he also appeared to be wearing metal armor. Behind this man, he saw Jinx. He returned his focus back to the man who spoke with a monotone voice, "Hello, Kyd Wykkyd."
Ohhh! Suspense! What should happen with Kyd Wykkyd, Jinx, and our mystery person (although you probably already know who it is)?
