Lux tapped, her fingers drumming in rhythm to the song playing from the headphones Jinx clamped over her ears. They were colored a bright, sunny yellow that stood stark against Jinx's red hair and buzzed out some form of heavy guitar and drumming. Scratched on the sides of the music device were bombs depicting smiling faces and Lux smirked.
"Jinx," Lux said, peeling one side of the headphones to talk into the other girl's ear.
Jinx peeked out from one of her closed eyes.
"Yes, Luxikins?" Jinx said making no move to turn off or down her music.
"I need you to hunt down the siren," Lux said, the bitterness apparent in her voice as she spoke the word siren.
"If you keep making that face it's gonna get stuck like that, sweetness," Jinx said and sat up. Pushing her headphones off she let them slide and dangle around her throat. Crossing her arms along her knees she eyed Lux warily before smiling. "But why do I have to be the one to hunt the guardia-"
"She is no guardian," Lux bit out sternly and Jinx almost winced.
Eyes locked with her leader, Jinx felt the tension build. It was good the two of them were in her bedroom and not at another guardian meeting. She didn't like getting bugged for her sulking.
A small pout appeared at Jinx's lips that brought an exasperated sigh from Lux.
"Don't make a face like that or it'll get stuck," Lux said with a small smile.
Jinx grinned, shrugging as she stood from the bed the two of them had been sitting.
Jinx's room wasn't big, she didn't need a big place to sleep. But her workshop? Jinx slept more there than this room, but Lux would bug her to sleep somewhere that wasn't covered in nitroglycerin and steel shrapnel.
Glancing at the teddy bear poster that decorated the graffiti covered wall, Jinx reached out and pulled the tall sheet of paper from the wall, revealing a safe nearly as tall as the poster behind it.
Quick as lightning, Jinx spun the combination out and opened the door, revealing a massive gun propped in the corner.
"Come here, big daddy," Jinx said, making a grabbing motion and gleefully giggling. "Oh, and no one is gonna forget you!" Jinx scooped a handful of colored grenades and strapped them to her waist before taking out the massive gun.
"I was thinking you should be more covert," said Lux, the woman's eyebrow arched high.
A laugh burst from Jinx, as she shot Lux a look.
"Me? Covert?" Stepping over to Lux, Jinx tucked a stray pink strand of hair behind Lux's ear. A brief blush flitted across Lux's cheeks and she swatted at Jinx's hand. "If you wanted covert you could have asked Janna. Or Poppy. Instead, you asked me. Because you want results."
Jinx stood back, her thin arms balanced against the massive gun beside her. Lux smirked again and Jinx's eyes narrowed.
Standing, Lux moved towards her friend and put a hand on Jinx's shoulder.
"Alright not covert, but saf-" Lux began to say, then laughed a bit, realizing the ridiculousness of Jinx staying safe as she wore a belt made entirely of explosives and bullets. "Just don't get yourself killed."
Jinx made a little bow and lifted her gun with a slight grunt. It felt good to have it back in her hand again. It had been awhile since she had a good fight.
"Later gator," Jinx began to call before Lux stopped her with a hand.
"No blowing up cities either," Lux said, her obvious tone showing it wasn't the first time she had to say this. Nor would it be the last.
"Yeah, yeah, boss. You got it," Jinx said holding up an okay hand before leaving.
