"Why do they always run? Don't they know i'll outrun them every time?" Kid Flash said looking at his girlfriend and then looking back at the robbers who were very slowly running away with several bags of money that were just slowing them down.
"They must think your funny looking." She said resting her fingers on her mouth thoughtfully. "You know looking like a hot dog stand puked all of you." She smiled past her hand.
He struck a pose putting a hand on his outstretched hip. "Or maybe it's your outfit. What are you? Some-"
"Supervillain?" She said with a arched eyebrow.
"I was going to say some demented form of a candy cane or Ravens sister but that works." He said shrugging.
She chuckled at him. "If she finds out you said that-"
"But she never will, will she?" He said urging her on.
"No," Jinx said shaking her head at him dramatically. "Mostly because she hates me and we never talk. Plus i like your face, I'd prefer if she didn't destroy what little looks you have."
"Oh, low blow." He said clutching his heart. "Even for you, goody two shoes."
She rolled her eyes. "I'm not a hero and I'm not a villain." Her eyes went past him to look at something. "You want to get that or-?" She said pointing her finger looking at whatever was happening behind his back.
He turned around lazily finding not just the robbers but a whole lot of ninja bad guys. They were all dressed in black, face covered, each with a sword. "Okay when did the robbery become some ninja flick?" Kid Flash said.
"Since you were witnesses of the emerald jewels being stolen." One of the robbers said standing ahead of the rest.
"I'm tired. Let's wrap this up and then go home." Jinx said looking up at Kid Flash.
"Movie night?" He smiled. She smiled back and nodded. He pumped his fist and jumped up "Yes!"
"You can not defeat-" The leader started right as the ninjas rushed forward.
"Just wait a second." KF rushed around right as Jinx cartwheeled and flipped kicking the men and sending pink waves around as the men slipped and fell and everything that could go wrong for them did. In the end Kid Flash ran around the bundle of knocked out men tying them up with a rope.
"Okay the fuzz should be here soon, so I guess we can leave." Jinx said as she grabbed KF's arm pulling him away.
He didn't move and she looked back at him. "Your new to this thing but we actually wait for the police so the bad guys don't get away."
she blew a strand of her pink hair from her face impatiently. "Fine. And I'm not that new to this kind of thing." He raised an eyebrow at her. "Okay so it's flipped, big whoop. So now I'm handing the people who are tied up in instead of being the one tied up. Such a big change." She waved her hand in mockery.
"It is a big change Jinx." He said taking her hand. She felt the same warmth inside of her when ever he was around saying things like this to her. She didn't understand what made her feel so drawn to him but yet here she was. She had given up everything she knew just so she could be by his side now. And she wouldn't have it any other way.
There were flashes of lights ahead as the cops finally showed. "Got em real good huh Kid?" One of the cop ladies said winking at Kid Flash as she walked over to look at the masterpiece of villains tied up.
"Couldn't have done it without my girlfriend here." Kid said looking at Jinx where she coolly looked over at the cop lady.
"uh huh…" The lady trailed off looking at Jinx as if it was a question that she was the one who needed to be carted off to the slammer and not the ninja robbers that were tied up like a package. "Well you got the jewels they were trying to steal?"
"Oh yeah!" Kids face lit up remembering exactly why they were there in the first place. "hold on for one second." There was the flash of red and yellow and Jinxs hand being free before he was holding it again next to her with the bags full of emerald green jewels. "Here you go." He handed it to the cop lady with a smile and if Jinx hadn't made it clear that he was hers she could have sworn the lady was looking at him like eye candy.
"Well we have to go. You know doing superhero stuff." She said as she pulled Kid flash away with her. Once her back was turned her scowl came on to her face. Annoyance was pounding inside of her and if it hadn't been for the fact that Kid was standing right there and her learning to be a good mutant then she would have 'accidentally' made something bad happen for that lady. She could not stand all of those girls, or even women looking at Kid like he was a piece of meat. Especially when she was right there, obviously claiming him as hers.
Kid Flash began to laugh and she looked up at him with narrowed cat eyes. "Jealous much?"
"I am not!" She spat at him still walking away from the scene of the crime.
"Could have fooled me." He said looking up and everywhere except at her face.
She wrapped her arms around his neck in a way that it had become so natural for her all of a sudden. "Can we just go home now?"
He quickly swept her off of her feet in his strong arms. "What ever you say schnookums." He puckered his lips as he said it in a cute mocking voice. Then they were off at lightning speed. This always made her sick, but if she closed her eyes and just focused on his scent and his normal heart beat then she could usually skip the strange car sickness of his running she usually got.
Suddenly he stopped and she felt like she was home looking a the locked door. "Do you have the house keys on you? I can't really fit them in the skin tight suit." He looked at her sheepishly.
"I still don't see how you're not embarrassed to be in something like that. It's so tight you can practically see everything." She pulled the keys out from her bra and then unlocked the door.
"Well the suit is like a second skin so i don't heat up when i run, or it rips or anything like that. Plus it always helps to keep this whole stature about me like most super dudes. That were strong and have a rockin bod and were not afraid to show it."
She laughed once as he strutted into their home. "Well at least you have a nice ass." She mumbled as she watched him walk in eying exactly the right place.
She walked in and it smelt like home. She had only lived here for half a year but it felt more like home than anywhere else did. "Movie night in five!" She yelled as she made her way down the stairs from the kitchen, past the living room and into her room.
"Okay, I got the popcorn!" Kid yelled as he already changed into his pjs and rushed up to make the concessions.
"Don't forget-" She said looking halfway out her door up on the second floor where the kitchen could be seen.
"Not too much salt. It's bad for us. Got it!" He said leaning over the railing to look down at her as she struggled to take off her horrible boots. Those things must have been torture devices for her feet. He shuddered just feeling his feet ache.
She blew him a kiss where a pink heart floated to him made out of the mist of her powers so it wouldn't hurt him, then she disappeared in her room. She stripped out of her normal dress and pulled off her striped stockings replacing them with a pink unicorn t-shirt and the soft shorts that went with them. She looked in the mirror seeing her devil horned hair.
When she was bad she had always thought it made sense for her to look like the evil side. But now that she was good there was no point for her to wear that black and purple dress, or the horned hair she use to be so proud of. She need a new costume for this new identity of hers. Maybe then the cops would stop looking at her like she was going to kidnap somebody for ransom every time Kid and her showed up at a heist.
She pulled her hair loose from the pig tails spraying it a few times with a leave in conditioner since it was the only way she could ever get it to stay down and quickly drying it with her hairdryer before leaving her room with a sigh of relief.
Kid was just finishing up the homemade popcorn as Jinx made her way to the living room popping in the DVD they had planned to watch the night before but hadn't because some monster was terrorizing a party of diplomats and no one else could deal with it. There was a flash of blue as the smell of buttered popcorn lingered in the air.
She spun around and landed right in Kids lap giggling as the popcorn lept into the air and she caught it for both of them in her lap. "Man, you keep me on my toes and that's saying a lot for a guy who has plenty of time on his hands." He looked at her with his blue eyes now that they could be seen properly since his mask was off.
"You wouldn't have it any other way." She said taking some popcorn and placing it right between her teeth and then crunching it for effect.
"Your so right." He said as he leaned forward and kissed her. She placed her hands on the side of his face where he had his hair cut very short for his outfit as the top of his hair was a red fiery mane. "Your-" He kissed her running his fingers threw her extremely wavy pink hair that was slightly longer then her shoulders. "So-" He kissed her again as she giggled trying to make sure the popcorn didn't spill all over. "Beautiful." He kissed her again placing his hands on her hips so she wouldn't fall off of his lap.
"Wally-" She said between kisses. She had never felt so happy in her entire life until she was next to him. Her entire life was criticism of how she was not villian material, or would never make it to be great like the joker or Madam rouge. She felt accepted by Wally, something her team mates in the H.I.V.E. Five never made her feel.
"The movie!" She managed to say gasping for breath finally as she stuck popcorn into his face. The movie blared on and they had already missed the beginning which normally she would have been made over but it was Wally and she didn't feel the need to with him. If she was at the hive and they had done that to her she would have tied them up. stolen some ancient artifact from some museum and left an anonymous call to the titans where exactly they were waiting to be put back onto jail. She had done that to Mammoth twice already, he surprisingly learned and never did it a third time although there were a few close calls..
She settled down next to him, the popcorn over her legs that were resting on his lap as his arm wrapped around her like a blanket keeping her warm. "What did you mean about earlier?" He said softly as they watched the huge T.V screen as the movie played on.
"Huh?" She murmured looking at him slightly.
"About that you're not a Villain but you're not a hero." He looked at her now his blue eyes sparkling.
She snuggled more into him. "I'm not, wally." She loved the fact that she was the only one who knew his identity, it meant he trusted her enough to give her his life which his real identity was his life, his family and everything he cares about.
"Yeah you are, i don't know why i can't seem to get that thru your pink head." He said putting a finger under her chin so she would look up at him.
She sat up more so she could really look at him. "I didn't choose to be good, i chose you. There's a difference." She had a hand against his cheek and there was so much emotion on his face. "Plus society and the Titans don't seem to think I've changed."
"So there a little suspicious. You use to be on there number one crime board."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "A little?" He didn't say anything so she proceeded on. "I found Bumblebee snooping on me when you were out with Aqualad on some trip in the middle of the ocean a few weeks ago. She said she was just checking up on me but i know Robin sent her to spy on me."
He shook his head rolling his eyes. "Bumblebee was probably just being nice-"
"She fell out of a tree when a hive of wasps went after her for not being there queen when I went to go buy groceries." Jinx said lamely. "If that doesn't say spy I don't know what does."
"Okay so there a little suspicious but that doesn't mean that you're not a hero."
"I know but it's a pride thing." She said looking away from him at the movie. "I want to be a honorary Titan, with my own communicator and everything like you. It's stupid, i know." She said feeling embarrassed.
"No, its not." He said snuggling up to her putting his face into her neck to get her to smile and then laugh. "Will get you one if it's the last thing i do." He kissed her neck moving up.
"Why are you so good to me?" She said letting him make his way up as his kisses created goosebumps on her skin.
"Because Jinx, I love you." He said looking her in her eyes and then she lunged at him knocking him back into the other side of the couch as they played with each others mouths and she sat on top of him.
Suddenly the movie cut off as it was replaced with a beep that Wally and Jinx would have never heard since they were too emerged in each other. Then Robin and the rest of his team showed up on screen. "Kid Flash, Jinx-" He began before he caught sight of the two teenagers play tongue war without even noticing the Titan call. "What the heck?" Robin said as he averted his eyes.
"Great, now my tea tastes bad." Raven said rolling her eyes as Jinx actually heard her remark and turned to look at the T.V. and how the movie had changed actors all of a sudden.
"Well it didn't really taste all that good before anyways." Beastboy said waiting for a high five from Cyborg who shook his head with a no.
"Oh my god!" Jinx yelled as she realized it was the Titans and they had caught the two on a very private moment. Kid flash looked over and saw them too as he jumped and as quick as a flash let go of Jinxs shirt he had been pushing up and grabbed the popcorn bowl to hide his face. Popcorn went flying everywhere and Jinx found herself frozen straddling Wally as she looked at the Titans who were all about as comfortable about this situation as she was.
"Did we ruin the private time?" Starfire said trying to understand.
"What do you think?" jinx found herself saying since she had held in her scream of anger and replaced it with something a little sweeter if not venomous. she was trying to be good, and ranting in anger was not the way to go. So she settled with sarcastic and snarky remarks. It was a start at least.
"Look if we need to call back later-" Cyborg began as his hand began to move towards the control box to end the call.
"No!" Wally said stretching his hand out as the other one hid his face with the popcorn bowl. "What i mean to say is-"
"Why'd you call?" Jinx looked over at the clock on the wall. "At eleven thirty at night?"
"Not that that's bad or anything." Wally mumbled.
"Suck up." Jinx murmured to him where he shot her one of his looks that said shut up even though he would never say it to her.
"We have a mission." Robin said glancing still at them. Jinx still hadn't gotten off of Kid flash and Robin wasn't use to seeing things like this with people he actually knew. The only romance he ever saw was the ones Star liked to watch on tv, his failure at trying to impress her with his romance powers, or Beast Boy and his failure at trying to seduce Raven who would much rather fall in love with a book then him.
Plus it was Jinx and he was so much more use to seeing her tied up flirting with him to let her escape before the cops slammed the door and sent her to her very own penitentiary level then making out with one of his best outside agents. He still couldn't be sure with her. She was a spy and a very smart villain who had been underestimated many times before. He trusted Kid Flashes word that she had changed, especially when she had helped with the villain battle taking out her former teammates, but still…
"Sweet," Kid Flash threw up a thumbs up. "Where do I go?"
"Actually this ones for Jinx." Her ears pricked up as she looked up at Robin with astonishment. "We need you to go undercover and check out some situations. We've been hearing some things lately and you're the only one who has the credentials for it."
He said it so smoothly even in he was still blushing over the screen but Jinx knew exactly why they had chosen her and not someone else. "What because I use to be a villain?"
"No because you still are one." Raven muttered but no one heard her which she was glad for since her emotions had started getting looser in her grasp everyday since the accident. No matter how much Raven hated Jinx, and that was saying a lot, she had to admit they needed her for this mission.
"That's a small fragment to the other reasons." Robin said strongly. "You have brains and quick thinking when something unexpected happens, your combat skills will come in handy if needed, And to note this your attractive," He coughed still bright cheeked. "Which will be a main skill needed to put up this facade."
If that was a compliment then Jinx didn't know what was. She hadn't heard anything like this briefing for a mission since H.I.V.E Academy and mostly those were briefings on how she was the only one who had any intelligence in the group they were sending out and because of that she was the leader.
"We need you here by ten tomorrow. We have a lot to prepare and little time for it." Cyborg said.
"Yes, the sleep would be nice." Starfire said a little dazed as she began to realize about Jinx and Kid Flash.
"I make tofu eggs at nine-thirty incase you want breakfast." Beastboy smiled.
"Great now they're going to be here late you idiot." Raven said before she clamped a hand over her mouth looking shocked and then pulling her hood up to hide herself like she always does. Jinx hated Raven like Raven hated Jinx. That was the circle of life. But even that outburst of anger was enough to go up on Jinxs weird radar since Ravens so stoic about everything.
"Will see you tomorrow at the tower. G'night." Robin said. "Teen titans out."
Right before the video went totally out you could hear Starfire say "Are they to have the baby?" Which got a groan from Raven, two ews from Beastboy and Cyborg and a shudder from Robin.
Jinx watched as their movie resumed and then Wally as he took the popcorn bowl from his face and she could see his blue eyes now with butter and salt smeared all over his face. Then they both burst out laughing. "Oh god did you see there faces?" Wally said.
"Classic!" Jinx said as she stood up on her knees above him. "Or Starfire 'Are they to have the babies?" Bwa ha ha ha!" He looked up at her with bright eyes. "Oh no. I'm Seventeen Wally, I don't want stretch marks and a whiny kid on my hip for another several hundred years!"
his face dropped slightly but not much. "Okay fine but can we at least have s-"
She covered her mouth with hers. "Not until I say so. Got it?" He nodded.
"I would never force you to do anything you don't want to do. That's not how Hero's like me roll." He said finally sitting up as she got off of him.
"Wally, even superheroes fall to that type of stuff. Want to know why?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "Because your a guy. You can't help it, it's natural. Just know I can kick your but if you ever try without my consent.
"Okay your right. So a new mission." He poked her and she laughed. "My girls a mission leader. My girls a mission leader." He laughed as she did when he repeatedly poked her with his fingers.
"Yeah and that means we need sleep, it's already eleven forty-five. Come on lets go." She said acting as if she was a guard and Wally was the prisoner.
"Okay but can I at least have one last wish."
"And that is?" she said as she lead him to his room.
He turned on her. "That you have to sleep with me tonight." When he saw her face he burst out laughing. "No, not that way. It might be our last time in a while. Please." He did the puppy dog face with his bottom lip quivering and his eyes getting real big, it especially cute when he was chibi form.
"Okay fine." She said as if it was hard to agree to. Secretly she was going to ask him or come in later and snuggle with him but he beat her to the punch like always. so with that Kid Flash turned off the movie and all the lights and they both headed to bed. It seemed that Jinx spent more time sleeping in his bed with him then she did in her own right next door. She felt safe in his arms next to him and he felt complete with her in his arms and that's where they fell asleep in till the next morning.
