The engine roared as the car made another squealing turn, Alba offering no apologies to his favored car for driving her so hard. Right now, he had something more important on his mind. Someone. "Naoe," he muttered to himself. Jinx's designation, along with her brother. Two children, experimented on to create living weapons for a fated house. Children. Sure, Alba and Soiree had been genetically modified, too, but they more or less volunteered for it. Alba knew that Jinx and her brother hadn't been afforded the same luxury

Every time something else exploded, she screamed and shrank back. She always seemed to be amused by her own powers, making fun of the bad luck that happened, using it to her own advantage. The lack of control made things more interesting and it helped her in her chaotic ways. But times like these, the times that people rarely lived after seeing, it was obvious what her true feelings were.

The last time her powers went out of control, it turned out badly as well, but not this destructive. She managed to nearly destroy Billy and Teddy's kitchen, break nearly every lightbulb in their apartment and implode the television.
