Jinx's POV
I used to think that I would never die because I knew, and everyone else knew, that I was the best. I know, self-centered right? Ha...tell me about it. But, as I lay on my side, forced to stare at my teammates, my friends, my family. I've never felt so helpless and scared. I don't want to die, I'm not ready. I'm not ready to leave, when I know that I and everyone else have so much to live for...
"Are you ready?" I see Carol say to Ragnarok across the room. He was going to try and control the stone. Apparently he's strong enough to not die when he touches it. I can't believe that I ever trusted that woman. That I called her my mother.
"Just do it woman!" Ragnarok growled at the Prime Minister, she flinched back and nodded, turning around to grab the stone. With the proper tools of course.
"Please stop!" I forced myself to say, but I couldn't recognize my voice. I sounded broken, lost, I felt like I was 16 again. I felt like the girl that had just lost her parents, the girl that didn't speak to anyone for almost 6 months because she was so stupid to think that no one could ever love her again...
"You idiotic girl," Ragnarok hissed at me. "There is no way in all of the galaxy that anyone can stop me now, especially not you." He then spat in my direction, the saliva landing a couple feet in front of me.
"You have terrible aim," I said to him, and smirked a bit when his scowl deepened. I may be down and bruised, but I still know how to piss someone off. It's a gift.
"Shut up little girl, you have no place saying anything to me." He then turned away and took the purple gem in his hand. All of a sudden the room was filled with purple light. I felt a huge force of power rush through me. I was promptly pushed back because of the rush of energy, along with Welch and all of the guards. I watched as all of the Guardians and my team where thrown back like rag-dolls. None of them woke up though.
"HAHAHA!!" I heard a maniac laugh from Ragnarok. "THE POWER!! I AM UNSTOPPABLE NOW!!!" I saw that he had absorbed the gem into his right hand. Then a thought rushed over me...
If he can touch the gem without dying...he's even more powerful then Rohan.
He then turned around and looked me straight in the eyes. "And first!" he proclaimed, "I will kill the leader of Xander's Alpha Team, and then all of the others who will stand in my way."
He started to walk towards me, taking long strides. I tried to stand up, at least scramble back, but I couldn't move. Either by fear or because I was beaten, maybe both, but I could not move to save myself. I was going to die...that was that. This was the end of Jenevieve "Jinx" Pierce. Leader of Xander's Alpha Team. Of all the bad ways I could die, this was somewhere at the top of the list.

"I don't think so, you overgrown blue lizard!!"
There was a bright light over top of my head and before I could even blink I was scooped up into someones arms and carried up so high all Ragnarok seemed was a small little blue bug. A very powerful blue bug, but still a blue bug all the same.
I tried to turn my body around to see who saved my life, but the light was so bright and it seemed they where wearing a ski-mask. It was definitely a man though, I could feel his hard chest against my side. (In a totally none creepy way I'll have you know)
I then felt my feet touch the ground for a short while before I fell forward, unable to gain enough strength to stay upright. Luckily the man in the ski-mask caught me before I hit the ground.
"Thank you," I managed to say before I felt my eyes start to close.
"Don't thank me yet, Vivi. But trust me, I'll never let anyone hurt you again."
I then felt my eyes close and I slipped into unconsciousness. Only one thought on my mind...
There's only one person whose ever allowed to call me that...
...Shawn...
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I felt like I was sleeping on clouds. The soft white cushion was shaped to my form for the best sleep possible. But then I woke up. There where no clouds, just a hospital bed that reminded me of so many memories, good and bad.
"You've come back from the dead I see," I heard a familiar voice say, but it wasn't to familiar. I turned my head to look beside me. There, sat on one of the old grey hospital chairs was a blonde haired young man. Looking to be around 25-ish. He had dark green eyes, the ones that those models have that don't seem real. He held himself in such a way I used to when I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to this place.
"What are you doing here Shawn," I said, my voice still not sounding the way it used to. It sounded like I felt, tired and broken.
"Now, is that the way to greet the one you saved your ass?" He said cheekily, his green model eyes twinkling.
I smiled a little at that, it felt like old times, when we had little banters here and there. "Alright, sure, you might have saved me. But that doesn't mean I'm going to thank you for it."
Shawn then made a fake gasp and his hand flew to his chest in mock hurt. "You, Jenevieve Jinx Pierce, are quite rude. You're lucky you're hurt, or else I would hurt you myself."
"You couldn't hurt me, because you're a wimp."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are--"
"That's enough!" A bold voice said from the doorway. "Both of you are so stupid! Grow up will ya?!"
"Sorry Corri--Corrigan!!!."
"What's up C-Dog!"
I glared along with Corrigan after Shawn called her that. My face was just, really? Really?. But Corrigan's meant someone's gonna die...and it sure as hell ain't gonna be me!
"Hee, hee," Shawn mumbled nervously. "Sorry," then he shut up.
And as he did I was promptly crushed in a "hug". Corrigan was clinging to me like her life depended on it.
"Don't cry Corrigan (CRAFT!! Sorry...) remember your supposed to be that 'blue skinned demon'," I smirked a bit when I heard her laugh.
"You asshole, you've been out cold for 5 days. We where all so worried," she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"I mean, I wasn't worried," Shawn said, sassily flipping his hair behind his shoulder, did I mention the fact that Shawn has shoulder length blonde hair? Well now you know!
"And why weren't you?" I asked, debating whether to be pissed or not.
"I'd know you pull through, just like you always do," he then gave me genuine smile and I smiled back.
"Jinx?"
I turned my head to look the way the voice came from. There, standing - or rather, sitting in a wheelchair - was Rocket.
My smile grew when I saw him, and I probably looked the the freaking sun when I saw everyone else behind him.
"Hey motherfuckers," I smirked. "I missed you."
