After a relatively rough bank heist, JJ plopped themselves down on the couch in their cave. The other villains were off doing their own thing right now, since JJ had insisted on doing this one on aer own. JJ was exhausted. It was not prepared for that heist at all. Cops were called, the bank teller fought back, & even the heroes showed up. It was at the point where Prism had to possess fool just to get things under control & escape with the little money fool had grabbed.
Taking a breath, JJ checked around tricks limbs to make sure there were no major injuries. Nothing too bad, just a slash on their right arm from the bank teller's pocket knife. Tore right through aer sleeve, though. Ae would have to fix that up eventually. Shoving the hair out of its face, JJ went to turn on the TV when Heartless popped in.
"Yo!"
"Hey, Heartless." JJ sighed, setting the TV remote down.
"How'd the heist go?"
"Bad."
"Ah, dang."
Heartless sat down on the couch, taking a look at JJ's hair.
"Your hair's getting long."
"I know."
Back when JJ first became a villain, fools hair was right at fools shoulders (opposed to the undercut fool had before). Over the past few months, though, tricks hair had been growing abnormally fast. Whether it was an effect of the wraith gem or not, JJ didn't care. It was their hair, after all. They could do whatever they wanted with it. Although, it would be nice if they cut it short again.
"No wonder that heist went bad today. Having hair that goes down to your ankles probably messes you up a bunch." Heartless said, stretching purrs arms.
"I only tripped on my hair TWICE today. Give me some slack." JJ rolled aer eyes. "..should probably get it cut short, though. Might become a nuisance later on. Plus, I wouldn't wanna let Zenith see me tripping over it. He wouldn't let me live it down at all."
Sighing, JJ looked outside the cave. The sun was starting to set. It could see the blue sky slowly fading into a more orange hue.
"If you want, I could burn your hair off." Heartless suggested, shifting their paw into a dragon's claw for a moment.
"But then the rest of me would be on fire."
"Fair. I'm sure Houseplant would be more than happy to cut your hair for you."
"Yea, but Houseplant does most of the things around here. I think ey deserve a break. Also, I could totally cut it myself."
"Yea, good luck with that."

JJ stood in the bathroom, right at the mirror. Electric razor in one hand, scissors in the other, hairbrush sitting in the sink. Ae were ready to do this.
Flipping on the razor, JJ went to work clearing off the longer parts of fools hair. Trick knew trick would have to clean all of the hair off the floor once trick was done, but trick didn't care. Anything to stop tripping over its own hair during a heist.
After a few moments, JJ's hair was back to the length it was when they first started being a villain.
But that wasn't enough.
Feeling the freedom of cutting their own hair, JJ kept going. Ae used the scissors to cut aer hair even shorter, right below aer ears.
As it took the last snip of hair off, the bathroom door creaked open ever-so slightly. JJ could see in the corner of fools eye it was Zenith.
"Jesus, what happened in here?"
"Haircut." JJ shrugged, setting the scissors down.
"A haircut?" he raised an eyebrow. "Looks like a mess."
Looking at tricks hair in the mirror, JJ smiled.
"Yea. But it's my mess."
