Butterfly: Hi people of Earth and beyound! Just kiddding! I'm bored, yet again, and I have been reading alot of Kid Flash and Jinx fics. I decided to give it a shot, because these two are slowly creeping their way up into my #2 favorite Teen Titans couple! Raven and BB will always be #1, but KF and Jinx are a close second! So, Im a geek, a nerd if you will; and now you're all probably thinking "What the hell? Why is she dissing herself in this note?". Well I'll tell you why! As a nerd and a geek, I do research very well, I have an exact IQ of 247 and I have a photographic memory. So, as I was reading a few random KFxJinx fics last night, I was doing TT research online. I stumbled across a few rough sketches of heros and villians that never appeared! Turns out there was supposed to be a hero named Cupid who shot people with arrows and made them totally fascinated with whatever they saw after the arrow hit. It's like they were addicted to the person or object they would see. And I thought to myself "Damn, it would be cool if he hit Jinx with one of those arrows!" and then I smacked my forhead and went "Duh! Story!". But, I always have to add a twist :)! SO this will be another multi chapter fic, so bear with me. Most readers know it took awhile for me to get "Before She Wakes" done, and this one will be the same. I will also have jc013 and MaidenoftheMoonLight17 editing my work, and Maiden may add a chapter. So, for legal purposes, I do not own Teen Titans.
If Cupid Had A Heart
Chapter1: So Close...
"Jinx
why do you wear your hair up all the time?" Kid Flash asked as
the two
teens walked side-by-side down the forest path. Jinx was
silent most of the
conversation, only answering every other
question and adding things when
needed, but she was smiling up at
the kid speedster.
"I mean, don't get me wrong, Jinxie, I
love your hair! It's soft, and
beautifull... But it's always up in
that harsh, horn-like, style... I wonder
what you'd look like with
it down..."
"It's easier for me to wear it like this,"
Jinx said in a flat tone," I mean
it's out of my face, and
I've been doing it like this for years, it's habitual
to wear it
up... But, down couldn't hurt every now and again..." She
reached
up and took out the cloth bands holding up her hair and it
fell gracefully
around her face, past her shoulders. Kid Flash
stopped dead in his tracks and
stared, his mouth agape.
"What?
Bad?" she asked with her hands figgiting with the ends of her
hair.
"N-n-no!" Kid Flash managed. He reached forward
tentatively and twirled one
of the neon pink locks around his
index finger. Jinx watched him with narrowed
eyes. He ran one hand
through her hair and leaned forward, to take a wiff of
her
strawberry shampoo. He was knocked twenty feet back by a pink hex.
"Hey! I didn't do anything wrong!" he coughed.
He
looked up to see Jinx holding out her hands, and blushing bright red.
Kid
Flash changed from mad to concerned in a second. He stood and
sped over to her
side, frowning as she tried to back away from
him.
"I'm sorry," She said softly," I um... You
startled me and I didn't know how
to react to I shot a hex and
then I realized-"
"It's okay," Kid Flash shrugged.
The continued on until they walked their
usual forest path and had
ended up back at their apartment. Jinx had been
staying with Kid
Flash for a month now, ever since she left the Hive 5 for
good.
They were strictly friends, even if Kid Flash wanted more he
respected
Jinx's boundries.
"How about I go get
lunch?"
"Um, okay," Jinx said with a small smile.
She watched him run into his room
and appear a second later in
full costume. He turned to leave but Jinx grabbed
his shoulder."
Um, Wally?" Kid Flash nodded, smiling as she used his
real
name." Hurry back okay? I miss you when you're gone for
too long Speedy
Gonzales..."
Wally's heart lept at her
words and he grinned, dashing forward to kiss her
cheek before
running out. Jinx touched her cheek and smiled, thinking of ways
to
get back at him for it. She fell onto the couch and had just reached
for
the remote when she felt a pain in her shoulder. She yelped,
pulling out a
single gold arrow, before
fainting.

Kid
Flash entered the apartment holding an armful of french food,
Jinx's
favorite. He set it on the counter and turned to the living
room, ready to
call for Jinx when he was hit by a giant pink hex.
He was knocked a few feet
back before another onslaught of hexes
came at him.
"Jinx! What the hell?!" Kid Flash cried.
He dodged her hexes, and ran towards
her as she kept attacking."
Is this about the kiss? I mean, I'm sorry! It was
rash and stupid!
Please forgive me Jinxie! I'm really sorry! Ow!"
"Stupid
hero!" Jinx screamed. She was about to hit him again, but Kid
Flash
came behind her hitting a sensitive nerve on her neck so she
fell to the
ground, asleep. He carried her to the couch where he
found the golden arrow.
It was about as thick as his pinky finger
and as long as his wrist to his
elbow." Wally..."
Kid
Flash looked up, she had murmured in her sleep. Just as he reached
out to
touch her cheek, a puff of red smoke appeared and left a
big man standing
beside Wally. The man wore a torn black "Black
Label Society" t-shirt, a
leather jacket and black jeans,
over black biker boots. He had a gray scruffy
beard and black hair
under a red bandana and was chewing a cigar. He had a
golden bow
across his chest and a gun holister full of gold aarrows at his
side.
He grinned at Wally and sat on the ground.
"I'm Cupid sonny,"
Cupid said in a gravely voice. Wally ignored the hand and
stared
at the man." What? Expecting a friggin' baby in a damn diaper
and
carrying a pocketful of heart arrows and sunshine? F*ck that
stereotypical
sh*t; I'm here to challenge you."
"Challenge
me?" Wally managed. He kept staring at the huge man and trying
to
wrap his mind around the surreal situation." What the hell
does that mean?!"
"I shot yer' girl with an arrow,"
Cupid said with a shrug," But one of my
anti arrows, they do
the opposite of my normal ones. Normally my arrows cause
infatuation,
love in the most BS way you can think of. This arrow has yer
girl
here hating you more then anything, powerful stuff right
here. Ended the
marriage of J-Lo and Ben Affleck with it."
Wally went to interrupt, but Cupid
held up a hand and Kid Flash
waited politely." You see, I've been keeping an
eye on you
two love birds and I ain't happy. You're both in love with each
other
and you won't admit it. So, here's my challenge; you have one
week
before the arrow wears off. If you can make her love you any
way, arrow or
not, in seven days, I'll give you my love arrow. You
see, if she can really
falls for you, then my arrow wears off and
yous guys live happily. If not, her
memory goes to hell and she
doesn't remember this week at all which leaves
yous at square one
with yer girl."
"You're not going to let me say no,
huh?" Wally asked. Cupid grinned and
shook his head amused by
Wally's interest."I- alright. I'll do this to get
Jinx out of
this spell, and because... because I love her... So, can I have
rules
to this challenge?"
"None" Cupid shrugged chewing
his cigar,"Just as long as you get her to fall
for you
without magic or anyone's help magically, you includes your
little
sorceress friends, Raven, Falcon, Aj and Joy.
If not the
worse
you lose is a week. I just want to see if you can do it
little dude. And you
are allowed one asset of help a day."
Wally gave a confused look." Like I can
help you once every
day. I can answer a question about yer girl, or wear down
the hate
spell by a fraction, or grant you a wish, etc. Now, the game
begins
in the morning when she wakes up. I have a dart game to get
to, but if yous
needs me, pull that arrow out and say 'Cupid' and
I'll appear. But only yous
will be able to see me. Good luck
kid..., but don't call for me during 7:30
am-12:30 am. That's my
bar time."
Cupid was gone in a flash leving Wally with an
arrow, the girl of his dreams
who hated him, and a very confused
brain. How the hell could he make Jinx love
him in a week?! He
barely got her to tolerate him in a month! Who knows, but it sure was
going to be hell. Then again, wasn't love always hell?
