Why was this her job. This was a stupid, boring, saving people job. It was always such a disappointment when he felt the need to root for the white hats.
They ruined all the best art.
She'd tried to tell him. Had shook her head 'no' in that slow, lazy way of hers. Had almost spoken out loud. It hadn't been quite worth that, though
3:00
And now, here she was, carrying the bloody bomb that he's making her phase into a bank vault.
A bank vault.
She means, really, is that supposed to help anyone? No. No it wasn't. Because this vault had a faulty door. Which he would know, if Boss-Man ever listened to her. Which he didn't.
Possibly because she never bothered to say anything.
2:00
But really, why should she have to be the one to talk? To say something stupid, and let everyone make fun of her.
Jinx was too damn proud for that, and they could kiss her ass. Their mean little ears didn't deserve her words, anyway. Not a one of them. Usually.
And really, how far into the building was this vault? It's so far away... why doesn't she just... y'know. Stick her hand in the thing, and jumble up its insides. Nothing worked right when you jumbled up its insides.
1:00
Finally.
Wait.
Why was the door open? What's this bullshit, come on now, seriously? You didn't lock it? What do they mean it's stuck open?
Oh, geezus. She doesn't want to do this. Who wants to get blown up? Phasing doesn't really work that way.
Okay, come on Jinx, you can do this. It's just a silly little bomb. Mix up its insides, you'll be fine.
0:20
Her hand slips in easily, but the insides of a bomb are nothing like a person. She's relatively sure there's a trigger in there.
Just... breathe. Boss-Man wouldn't send her to die, right? Right. She won't die. Everything's going to be fine.

So she moves her finger.
