Teen Titans fan fic:
Feel the disease.
Summary: Beast boy and Jericho are in love, but when titans go missing, they'll have to put it on hold. The person behind it is unknown, so Jericho goes to investigate, but he's unaware of the dangers that await him when he's off on his own. Bad summary, but I'm not that good at them, sorry.
Pairings: B.B+J, K.W +R, KF +J,SF +R, T+S, hints off BB+T.
Beast Boy's P.O.V:
Keeping watch was never one of my favorite jobs. It didn't help that it was pouring down icy sheets of rain. It didn't make help that right now, I'm the size of a baby's fist, as a rat in the rafters of this building, but I think what really didn't help was that absolutely, positively, nothing was happening and I was bored out of my mind. Everything in this old warehouse was still and quiet in the cloak of shadows that covered every corner, and every threshold. Everything was quiet except for the sound of rain. The roof being tin and the rain being heavy, the rain made a bang-bang sound that almost deafened me. To top things off, there's a hole in the roof and streams of rain were falling through it and landing right on me drenching my fur and freezing me to the bone.
Despite this I tried to keep my promise, I try to wait, to watch and stay focused. Tried to keep my eyes open for anything that might be movement, but so far it's been nothing but silent and empty. I'm sure it's passed eleven; midnight maybe, I'm tired and ready to go home. Too bad I can't. Too bad I promised. Rain continues to spout down through the hole even harder. The amount of shivering I'm doing right now is ridiculous. My entire small body is shaking from tail to whisker. Another splash of rain comes from the hole in the ceiling, followed by a few pieces of hale. They're about the size of large peas and feel as hard as rocks. After getting knocked in the head a few times and becoming pretty convinced I had a concussion, I decided the next time someone asked me to look for their missing boyfriend, I'd check the weather report first.
More hale, this time the size of gumdrops.
Honestly?
If anyone was moving, I don't think I'd see it. Now that my visions all but going double. I shake my head and it starts to feel a bit better. More grounded, not as light. Back to watching. Maybe an hour passes. Maybe it's just my imagination, but it feels like quite a while before anything happens. Just as I'm losing any hope of finding anything or anyone, I hear a noise. I jerk my head around, and see the slightest of movements in darkness. Not much at all, but just enough for me. Silently and quickly I dove from the rafters and changed into a pigeon, then once on the ground I changed into a bear that grabbed the unsuspecting person in its strong claws. The person, upon realizing capture began to panic. "Let me go!" he screams. "Let me go!" If I could tell him to shut up, I would. But all I could do is growl, so I let out a long angry one to do the talking for me and as quickly as he screamed, he was quiet. Once he was, I let out a loud roar that echoed and shook through the entire building, a signal. After a few seconds, two figures come out of their hiding spots from the back of the building. A tall, beautiful slender boy with wavy blonde hair and green eyes that eye my captive curiously. Following him, is a girl who is noticeably shorter with pale skin, dark witchy clothes, pink hair, and pink cat eyes ablaze with anger, like cotton candy set burning with hellfire. The honorary titans, Jinx and my Jericho. Jinx doesn't wait one more second to confront the man. She storms forward and grabs him by the shirt collar.
"Where is he?" She demands, "what did you do with him?"
He was Kid Flash. Jinx's boyfriend and her only reason for turning her back to the hive five, her old team. Jinx used to be bad. I can't say evil because, that's exaggerating. She used to be bad. But that changed when Kid Flash found her and gave her someone to lean on, someone to depend on, someone (though they hardly anticipated this) to love. Now he was gone. Missing. And all she knew was rage. This was the last place we saw him, even if this guy didn't even know what Kid Flash meant, Jinx would still give him hell just for being here.
"I don't know what you're talking about girl!" says the man.
"Liar!" Jinx cries, "You're nothing but a liar!"
Her palms become surrounded by pink energy, she steps forward and her eyes glow with the same thing, "don't make me force the truth out of you" she threatens.
Suddenly, Jericho steps up from behind Jinx, he starts to make signs with his hands.
"No" Jinx says. "I can handle this"
He makes more signs. It almost looks like he's trying to reason with her, trying to ask her for something. A favor.
"fine!" she said as she gave up. "you get five minutes, then we handle things my way!"
Jericho nodded and stepped forward. He knew not to use sign language with me, I didn't understand it. He always uses Morse code with me. He taps and slaps lightly with his fingers on his palm to tell me what he needs to say.
Lower him please.
And I do, right to Jericho's level. They make eye contact, it's brief but it's all, he needs. Jericho's eyes go black, all except for his irises, which glow neon green. His form goes transparent and he sinks into the man.
All is quiet for a little. Then Jinx says, "Are you there?"
"Yes" Jericho says in the man's low almost angry sounding voice. "I'm here"
"And …" Jinx encourages hopefully.
"Nothing" says Jericho. "He wasn't lying, he was coming here hoping to loot the place, committing a crime, but he doesn't even know who Kid Flash is. Jinx, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
"No" says Jinx. Slumping down to her knees, "This can't be happening… He can't be
Gone just like that."
"I'm afraid so" says Jericho. And with that, he exited the man. He solidifies and his eyes become normal again. Jinx has not moved from her spot, tears glitter down her cheeks and make small wet spots on the ground. The man was exhausted from Jericho's use of him; he passed out as soon as he was out of his possession. I carry him the door and toss him outside. Then shift back to my own form and try to comfort Jinx.
"Hey" I say kneeling beside her. "This isn't the only place in the world, he could be almost anywhere. Don't worry Jinxie, we… we'll find him. Promise."
"Don't touch me" she says coldly.
"Jinxie…"
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she snaps, "AND DON'T CALL ME THAT! NEVER CALL ME THAT!"
She smacks my hand away, and her eyes glow all pink energy again, she blasts a beam at the top of the building and it collapses. She blasts somewhere else and another thing collapses.
I think we'd better get out of here. Taps Jericho.
Jinx blasts another beam and it misses me by inches. "Whoa! Yeah, I think we should get out of here!" I exclaimed as I swept up Jinx and headed out the door followed quickly and closely by Jericho. The place half-collapsed just as soon as we exited it, dust flies from the crushed remains of the building. The sound of a falling structure continues, along with another noise, One much closer to me, because the person making the noise has their arms wrapped around my neck and she is sobbing. All I can do is hold her back, I put my arms around her comfortingly. She cries and cries, not trying to be silent in the least bit, when the dust clears and the stillness of the night tries to settle itself, it's broken by her empty heart wrenching sobs. Jericho comes over and runs his hand up and down her back. The rain pelts down on us as hard as ever. Her tears are warm on my collar bone where they land, but that's the only place on my entire body that's warm. Hail comes down as well. As me in my own form it's hardly half the assault it was when I was a rat, but I can't help but think.
Honestly?
That's the end of chapter one, sorry there wasn't so much romance in this one, mostly hurt and comfort, but I'll try to update soon.
