When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise

Thaddeus Thawne-or Inertia-didn't know what love was. He had never felt it towards anyone before, really. Well, Max Mercury didn't count. He did feel some love for him when Max told Thaddeus that he was proud of him. But it was a kind of Father-Son love. Not the love Thad has seen on T.V. or out in public. He wanted to know how love felt when you gave it to another person. He WANTED to love. Not Bart, though. Bart was his enemy. And he DID NOT love his enemy. Thad wanted to love someone that wasn't his enemy. He wanted to love someone. A girl. Not a guy. Thad was sure he wasn't gay. He wanted to have sex with a girl, see how it felt. He wanted to kiss a girl, see how that felt. He's seen and heard plenty of times that kissing and having sex was amazingly beautiful. And Thad wanted to experience it. He wanted to enjoy it as much as people did. So he went out; searching for a girl to have said experiences with. He didn't want to dress in his civvies, too much work. So instead, he walked around Keystone City, not caring if Wally or Bart or any of them found him. He wasn't going to fight them anyway. Thad walked along the side walk-ignoring people's gawks and stares at the little boy-looking around the area for any single girls that looked about his age. Most of the girls were hanging onto guys arms and resting there head on the guys' shoulder, or they were making out on the benches, or throwing snowballs at each other-since it WAS the dead of winter. Thad didn't find it cold in the least, but he did seem…lonely. He didn't really have any friends. And Craydl didn't count. He was an Artificial Intelligence, not a human being. Though he was there for Thad when he was down or needed help. But that's what Craydl was there for: to take care of Thad while he was in the 21st Century. So again, Craydl didn't count. Thad looked around again, but didn't spot any single girl to his liking. He wasn't picky, it's just-all the single girls were…fat or man-ish looking. He wanted a pretty, skinny girl. That's all. He didn't really have an actual description of what type of girl he wanted. He looked around the park, and finally, his eyes landed on the perfect girl.

She leaned back against the bench. She wore a strapless purple prom dress with a red iridescent sash in the middle. The dress seemed to be ripped at the bottom; the ripped hem of the dress coming up to her thighs, showing off her long slender legs. Her long blonde hair flowed behind her beautifully; shinning in the moonlight. Her blue-green eyes glared heavily at the black Converse heels that she wore, the crown on her head glimmered in the moonlight. She sniffled and wiped her tears away, taking her make up with it. But she was breath taking. Thad didn't know what to do really. Before he could register, his legs were moving towards her. Thad didn't really know what to say to her, but he tried to think of something as he approached her. But words were getting all squished together. He shook his head as he walked up to her.

"Uh, are you okay?" That was a good start. Now, let's see where this goes.

"Do I look okay?" Okay, so maybe it WASN'T a good start.

"I just wanted to see what was wrong." Thad said.

The girl sighed and looked down; bringing her arm up and covering the bruises on her arms. Now that he was closer, he could see the bruises and cuts that covered her face, shoulders, arms, and legs. "I-I just got hurt."

"That's an understatement."

"I-it's okay," she paused, "I'm fine."

"No, you look like someone beat you." Thad said as he sat beside her.

"Well…some-PEOPLE. Not just one person." She said softly.

"People?"

"Yeah, I-uh-won Junior Prom Queen this year-." She smiled at him "a-and a girl's boyfriend became P-Prom King. A-after the whole dance thingy, the-the girl came with some of her friends while I was walking home a-and they-they… attacked me." The girl wiped a few tears that escaped her eyes.

Thad cocked a brow, "Seriously?"

She nodded, "Yeah." She then turned away from him and buried her hands in her face; crying even more.

Thad didn't really like dealing with people who cried; it was annoying to try and get them to STOP crying. He reached a hand out and moved to pat her back. No-he'd seen that in the movies too many times and right now, it seemed really cheesy. Too cheesy. So he did a move he saw only ONCE on T.V. He reached out and brushed her hair out of her face. She looked up at him, her eyes red and irritated. He smiled at her.

"I'm Inertia."

She narrowed her eyes as she straightened up, "Inertia? I've heard of you."

"Have you?" He asked.

"You're a bad guy." She faced him.

"Yeah," He nodded. He didn't care if anyone noticed who he was. What he cared about was someone running to the Police. If he saw that, then he'd eliminate them. Just like he did with everything else.

She nodded, "I'm Bambi."

"Bambi?" He cocked a brow.

"Well, it's Brandi Lee. But everyone thinks it sounds like Bambi. So they call me Bambi." She sniffled.

"It's cute." Thad smiled.

Bambi blushed. "Thanks."

The wind came by and Bambi shuddered; wrapping her smooth looking arms wrapping around her body. Thad looked back to see a coat store a couple of feet away.

"Hold on," He said as he ran off.

In a flash, he came back with a large pink coat and splayed it over her shoulders. She blinked and looked up at Thad. "Oh, you didn't have to…STEAL this for me."

"You were cold." He shrugged.

"But you didn't pay for it."

"I'm a 'bad guy', remember?"

She giggled a cute giggle, "you seem too sweet to be a bad guy."

Thad smirked as he leaned back against the bench and pulled his arms up, "of course I do."

"I swear." She stated. "Name one bad thing you've done."

"I posed as my twin." Thad stated. "I went around town doing everything he did."

"That doesn't sound bad at all." Bambi shook her head.

"That's just a summary. I have yet to give you details."

"Okay, so who's your twin? Impulse?"

"Yup." He nodded.

"That's impossible. You're blonde."

"Its called hair dye, Bambi."

She giggled. "But Impulse is too..."

"Impulsive?"

Bambi laughed, "Exactly. Inertia, you don't seem that way at all."

"Of course not. Aren't all twins-in some way-opposite."

"You have a point." She nodded. "But I still can't see you posing as him. You'd have to be an amazing actor."

"You'd be surprised."

She cocked her head to one side. "You didn't."

"I sure did. But I ended up getting busted."

"Of course."

"It took his at least a week to figure out it was me under the mask."

"Who IS under the mask? What do they call you other then Inertia, huh?"

"You want my shoe size, too? Getting pretty personal are we?" He pulled his hands down and looked at her.

Bambi giggled. "Sorry. I'm just curious."

"You sound like a reporter."

"Funny you should mention."

"Oh, god. Don't tell me-."

"Yup, I'm the school reporter." She nodded proudly.

"Good lord." Thad ran his hand down his face. "I'm talking to a depressed Prom Queen that just HAPPENS to be a reporter."

"Hey, go easy on the depressed Prom Queen stuff. I'm asking you all this stuff to get my mind OFF all that." She waved her hand across her face.

"Well getting personal with me isn't gonna do it, missy." He pulled his arms back up behind his head.

Bambi suddenly blushed and looked down. "Well, I'm sort of-kind of-nervous. I mean, how often do I get to meet a 'bad guy'? And...a cute one at that."

"What?" Thad pulled his hand down once more to look at her. The moon light shone behind her; her bruised face flushed and innocent, her shimmering blue eyes dryed out, her pink lush lips slightly open, and her golden locks blowing in the wind; making it flow behind her beautifully. She looked up at him shyly. He smirked, "I'm touched."

"Shut up." Bambi giggled.

A clamor suddenly filled Thad's ear.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's my phone." Bambi smiled and reached into her little sash, pulling out her phone, flipping it up, and putting it to her ear. "Hello?"

Thad could hear the little ramblings from the other side of the line.

"Yeah, mom. I know it's after two."

Thad pulled up his glove to check his watch: it was 2:43. He didn't even know how long he'd been out searching for a girl.

"The dress is destroyed." Bambi said blandly. "It's great that you care about the dress more then my wellbeing." Pause. "I can fly home, mom. I don't need you to come pick me up."

Thad cocked a brow. She could fly? Now THIS was intriguing.

"No, I don't CARE how much money you paid for the dress. I was attacked last night and you don't even care." She paused once more. "I'll be home in a little bit. Calm down." She hung up. Bambi looked at Thad and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry. My mom...she can be a little..."

"Controlling?" Thad asked.

"You know that feeling?"

"All too well." Thad looked forward.

"Well, I-uh-have to get going." She said as she got up and hovered over the ground; holding the jacket.

Thad got up as well and grabbed her hand, "No need to fly. I can take you home."

"No-it's okay, Inertia. I-."

"Bambi, it's no big deal. Let me take you home." He smiled.

Bambi lowered herself and planted her feet on the ground. In a split second, her feet her swiped off the ground, and Thad had her in a bridal style. She blushed, "I-Inertia."

"Relax." He said as he zoomed off.

Feeling the rush of the wind and everything going by her in a blur, Bambi felt sick. She quickly placed her head at the crook of his neck. Thad shuddered with pleasure as he felt her hot breath against his neck. "So, you can fly?" Thad asked.

"Yeah," Bambi nodded.

"Is that all you can do?"

"No,"

"Well, what else can you-?"

"Turn left." Bambi said as she looked up.

He turned into another street and zoomed down.

"Turn right."

He skidded to a stop and turned right.

"Turn left."

Thad turned.

"It's the fifth house on the right."

He counted. One…two…three…four…five.

Thad looked up at the beautiful, large homes rose up from behind walls, gates and gardens all lined neatly next to each other on a brick street dotted with glowing street lamps. And at the fifth house at the end, he stopped and set her down ata structure surrounded by a large brick wall with ivy cascading down. Bambi's house spoke of wealth and décor. She even had to use a keypad to unlock the front gate. Past the front yard garden which included a wall mounted fountain and white lights hanging among the trees stood the house. A two story structure of dark wood and glass but it seemed more of glass than wood as it resembled some style of modern architecture.

"Whoa," Thad said as he walked up to the front gate.

"My mom's a fashion designer and my dad's a...important man." She motioned towards the gate, but it had already opened.

"Brandi! Brandi is that you! Where the hell have you been!" A woman's voice shouted.

"That's my mom." Bambi said as she looked back at Thad.

Her mother came out of the house, running towards her. "Where have-?" She cut herself off as she looked at Thad.

Bambi's mother quickly grabbed her arm and yanked her away from Thad. "What did you do to her, you evil piece of trash!"

"Mom!" Bambi shouted as she tried to pull away from her mother's grip.

"Do you know who that boy is? He's a monster! What were you doing with him! Did he manipulate you to use your powers! And where did you get that tacky coat!"

Thad sneered; this woman was truly annoying. If Bambi wasn't standing there, he'd ram his hand through the elder woman's throat so she won't ask another pointless question or make a rude comment ever again.

"Mom, Inertia didn't do anything to me, I'm fine-."

The woman gasped as she fully looked at her daughter. "And what on earth happened to your dress! What the hell did you do to her!"

Thad didn't answer. It would be useless to. She wouldn't believe him anyway.

"He didn't do anything, mom. It was Liz and Alexia."

"Oh, don't give me that shit! I know those two girls and they are angels! Why on earth would they do that to you!"

"Because of this!" Bambi pointed at the crown on her head.

Her mother looked at Thad. "I'm calling the police. Have them come and take the REAL person who wrecked your dress to jail!"

"Mom-."

"Get inside!" Her mother then turned and left.

"Wow," Thad finally said.

"I know, I know. I'm so sorry. She's very-."

"Annoying." Thad narrowed his eyes.

"You can say that." Bambi nodded. "I guess you have to go before the cops come."

"I guess." Thad shrugged.

"W-will I see you again?" She asked.

Thad smiled, "Maybe." Thad turned and ran.

Maybe indeed…
