This chapter is dedicated to the author who invented the villainess, Licorice Mitski and OperaGhost. Who, surprisingly, is one person. Everybody should thank her right about, Now!
Lady Rose is owned by Licorice Mitski and OperaGhost. NOT ME!
Teen Titans is by Warner Bros. NOT ME!
Rose in Bloom
"Titans, go!" Batgirl shouted the iconic phrase with gusto.
The teens descended on their foes, some small time bank robbers. Easy.
Warwolf took point, ready to take the firepower the small timers could throw at them. Jinx performed a series of backflips, flanking to the left of the thieves, who were exiting the bank. Batgirl and Terra advanced steadily, ready to cover each others backs at the first sign of trouble. While Red X and Kid Flash were ready to intervene where ever they were needed.
Ping!
A silenced sniper round ricocheted off of Warwolf's thick, metallic fur.
Hell broke loose.
An uzi wielding crim poured lead at Jinx, who had been spotted. One second she stood paralyzed by fear. The next she was behind them, next to the youngest Scarlet Speedster, Kid Flash.
Two gunmen opened fire on Terra and Batgirl, the geomancer called a wall of rock to defend her, while Batgirl nimbly avoided the bullets.
The next wave of fire never came. The gunmen could only stare and gape as the weapons in their guns were cut, or, as happened to most of them, a blur snatched the clips and magazines from the weapons and deposited them at the foot of the steps leading up to the bank.
After the capitulation of the crooks, the party of six returned to their tower.
The first thing everyone did was have a shower. Kid Flash, ironically was too slow to secure a shower first, so he waited until one of the guys finished.
After he was finished he had to go to his room for a change of clothes. His room was just past Jinx's. Passing it, he heard something which really scared him.
"I don't know Babs, I think I need to break it off. I mean it won't last." Jinx said from the other side of the door.
"I know Jinx, you should do it quickly." Batgirl responded. She seemed quite happy about it.
Hearing this, Kid Flash could only run to his room, once there he locked the door and all but broke down.
The next day:
Kid Flash hadn't slept, he had only cried that night. He was finally dozing off when the alarm blared out. Alerting him to the gathering of his teammates as they readied themselves once more for battle.
"Hey guys." He tried to let out no hint that he had heard the discussion between Batgirl and Jinx last night.
"Hey Ki- woah are you OK?" Red X seemed inordinately precise with placing peoples mood.
"Have you been crying?" Asked Batgirl. OK, maybe he was just obvious.
"I'm fine." He used the tone of voice Robin once used to avoid questioning.
"O-K..." Terra replied to his harsh tone. Warwolf just grunted.
"We got a new super powered villain in the industrial plant. They're robbing liquid nitrogen." Batgirl briefed the team, expecting them to move.
"That's sad." Jinx said, unimpressed.
"So? Get moving!" Batgirl snapped.
Jinx grabbed onto KF's arms, Batgirl ran to her bike, Red X hitched a ride with Terra while Warwolf made vast leaps to cover the distance.
When the team arrived the super villain was grabbing at compressed tanks marked with the symbol N2.
The villain was a woman. She wore a red top with a v-neck, a knee length skirt and a mask.
She spoke confidently.
"I am Lady Rose. You must be the new Titans in town, it took me three tries to deal with the last hero. You will not be an issue." The Titans were confused, but this made them all the more wary.
The Titans and foe were staring each other down and waiting then, something odd happened. Lady Rose looked at KF, she instantly slapped on a flirtatious grin.
"Well well well. Hello there. You must be Kid Flash. I hope what they say about you is wrong, worlds fastest boy, 'cos I want to be with the worlds slowest man..." She waltzed up to the hero, hips swaying seductivly.
"Get away from my boyfriend!" And with that sentence Jinx darted in, pink blasts smashing into Lady Rose, sending her tumbling.
Kid Flash was at a loss, her boyfriend. Did she still love him? No, don't build hope up. It will only hurt more.
Lady Rose retaliated to Jinx's attack vigorously, launching sharp thorned roses from her palms. The flowers pierced Jinx's flesh spilling blood, that was when the other Titans stepped in. Though no one, not even Terra or Warwolf could equal what KF did.
The speedster ran at super speeds, colliding with Lady Rose, in his hand were the few roses left in the air from her attack. Then KF did something truly shocking. Something terrifying.
"HOW DARE YOU HURT HER!" Crack! One powerful punch to the ribs. "SHE WILL NEVER BE HURT BY THE LIKES OF YOU AGAIN!" Smash! She was launched into a pane of glass. "IF YOU EVER HURT HER AGAIN I WILL KILL YOU!" And with one violent kick, he turned to Jinx, kneeling down beside her bloodied form. "I'm taking her back to the tower." No question. Just a statement. The others nodded.
Upon arriving with the now concious Jinx he placed her down on the bed.
"What did I do wrong Jinx?" KF sounded forlorn, broken.
"What?" Jinx was confused.
"Why are you dumping me Jinx?" KF was desperate to know what he did wrong.
"I'm not leaving you Wally." Jinx cooed, not understanding why he thought otherwise.
"But you said to Batgirl that it wasn't gonna last. I thought..." KF wasn't sure about anything now.
"We were talking about a magazine subscription, Wally!" Jinx exclaimed.
"R-really? Oh thank God!" He hugged Jinx tightly.
"Wally, I love you. But I think we need to get closer." Jinx whispered into KF's ear.
"Like a romantic vacation?" The speedster wondered aloud.
"I was thinking a shared room..." And with those words she dragged her Kid Flash into her waiting lips.
_Fear not! I will probably be taking Lady Rose hostage once more to fight Titans West.
Again thank you Licorice Mitski and OperaGhost for creating not just a wicked villain but for the awesome discription which made it possible to use this story line.
Thank You!
