"What the-!?"

Jack jumped in surprise from where he had been chilling off in another chair, playing Goo Zombies. Jinx outburst had sent a picture on the wall spiraling onto his head.

He rubbed the bump, glaring over at the other goth in the room. "What was that for!?"

[jinxed_goth]

"Sorry Jack," Jinx apologized. "I wasn't trying to do anything to you...I got pissed off at this website owned by these total fuckwads called Humanity First, and I lost control of my powers."

She was a bit embarrassed by it, but since Jack wasn't seriously hurt, she felt an apology and an explanation was all she really owed him. It wasn't like she was some total goody-goody who was going to start fussing over him, after all.

[jackbotsattack]

"Geez, you really oughta warn a guy before you do that," Jack mumbled, but he set down his game and came over to lean on the couch, looking over her shoulder at her laptop.

"Humanity First?"

His eyes widened in shock and anger as he read the site, then narrowed as he half threw himself over the back of the couch, as though lunging at Jinx's laptop would somehow make it go away permanently.

"What the heck is this!? Who the heck are they!?"

[jinxed_goth]

"A bunch of hateful jerkoffs who think we don't have the right to exist, just because we've got an X-gene and they don't."

If Jinx was still in her HIVE Five mentality, she might have tried to impress Magneto and attempted to contact the leader of the Brotherhood about her discovery. Now, she was a little more responsible. Of course, that didn't mean she advocated the pacifist approach.

"They're even trying to set up a chapter in Salem Center..." Jinx trailed off as the gears in her head started turning. "So, Jack. How would you feel about doing a little bit of bad for a good cause?"

[jackbotsattack]

That explanation wasn't really surprising. Jack grumbled low in his throat, reading more the screen angrily. And that was when Jinx made her proposal.

"Oh, I'm always up for doing a little bit of bad." He turned to look at her curiously. "What do you have in mind?"

[jinxed_goth]

"A challenge to your creativity and mine...we enforce Murphy's Law so that everything that can go wrong does. But not in ways that can be blamed on mutants. I'm going to email them and show support for their organization and ask when they're going to be meeting."

She smiled. It wasn't quite innocent, but it wasn't obviously devious either.

"And then? Then we have fun."

[jackbotsattack]

Jack didn't really like being sneaky, preferring to do things right out where everyone would know he did it, but Jinx was right on this one; doing things in a way that would get it blamed on mutants would defeat the point. They would have to be discrete, and sabotage on that scale just might impress Mod.

He nodded slowly, liking the idea more and more as he turned it over in his mind.

"Sounds like a good plan."

He jumped over the back of the couch (or more like fell over it), scrambling to sit upright next to Jinx and look over her shoulder at the computer.

"Normally I'm not for good causes," he clarified. "But I hate people that hate mutants. So let's show them what we're made of."

[jinxed_goth]

"Seems like some of them are bringing religion into this hate-fest. If we cause enough things to go wrong when they meet, maybe they'll see it as a sign that they should find something else to do with their time."

Jinx was fairly confident that they would be able to pull this off. The main thing they had to do was make certain that none of the staff found out about it (or at least, none of the staff that would try to stop them).

[jackbotsattack]

"Alright."

Jack looked back on at the site, pushing at a date. "Looks like their first meeting is next week; why don't we start then? We can sabotage the place they're having their meeting the night before... unhinged seats... broken technology... I guess lasers are out, huh?"

[jinxed_goth]

"Lasers are a little too high tech to go unnoticed," Jinx said thoughtfully. "Unless you can make it look like a cigarette burn. And we want to make sure that we don't sabotage things badly enough that it's obvious...or that it kills anyone. Someone falling out of a broken chair and bruising their sorry butt is cool and encouraged. They can't learn if they're dead."

She considered some of their options and who else they might be able to invite along for this. It had to stay small or they'd get caught, and they couldn't invite anyone who was either too much of a goodie-goodie, or a blabbermouth, either.

[jackbotsattack]

"Okay, so subtle touches. Got it."

Jack rubbed his hands gleefully. It might be for a good cause, but this was going to be so much (evil) fun. And luckily Mod had been teaching him how to be not quite so rash and abrasive when it came to villainy, so he could do this without giving them away.

Unfortunately, he didn't know anyone to ask to help; somehow, his only "friends" besides Mod and Jinx were obsessed with (ugh) helping people, and even though these people were disgusting, they probably wouldn't be too big on sabotage. Better just to keep this under wraps.
