Chapter 3: Pros and Cons

Jinx sat on the couch in her Apartment holding the rose Kid Flash had given her. She had given up everything to be with a guy she had just met. What was she thinking?

'He's really cute,' she thought. 'I only just met him,' she sighed. Was this what it had come to. She stood in and began to search for a pen and Paper. After she found what she was looking for she wrote Pros on one side of the paper, and Cons on the other side, she drew a line down the center of the paper. After a while she looked at her work

Pros: He's Cute, He helped me see the good in me, he's nice, and he's the only one who gave me a chance even though he knew about my bad luck, he loves me for me no matter what others say…

The list went on.

Cons: I only just me him.


Being a titan was hard work. You had to have strength and stamina, and speed. Kid Flash met two of those qualities, he wasn't all that strong, but he could go for day on end.

"Dude, Robin keeping you here?" Beast Boy asked. Kid Flash nodded.

"He wants to see what I can actually do when I'm challenged," Kid Flash said. "I mean come on I got Jinx to switch side," he said.

"That is true," Beast Boy said. "But he wants to see you fight," he added.

"How much longer do I have to stay?" Kid Flash asked. "I need to see someone." He grumbled more to himself than to Beast Boy.

"Not much," Cyborg said. "I don't think Aqua lad and Speedy can last much longer," he said referring to the two teen who, were practicing hand to hand combat. They had been for almost an hour now. The Titans East were over along with a few other Honorary Titans.

"Wanna see this end quickly?" Kid Flash asked.

"How these two hate each other and refuse to give in," Cyborg said.

"They don't hate each other," Beast Boy said. "They just know how to annoy each other," he added.

"I can end this," Kid Flash said.

"How?" Beast Boy asked.

"Ok close your eyes and count to three," Kid Flash instructed. Beast Boy did as he was told. Once he finished counting to three, he opened his eyes and Kid Flash was next to him and Speedy and Aqua Lad were on their backs.

"Nice," Beast Boy said.


15 minutes later Kid Flash was done and free to go. He had beaten Robin, Beast Boy, Speedy, and Raven. Starfire and Cyborg were the only two he couldn't beat. Next time he'd be ready. Right now his mission was to get Jinx to forgive him for being late. He knocked on her apartment door. It opened to reveal an annoyed Jinx.

"Your late," She said moving aside to let him in. he had hurried home and was now in street clothes.

"Jinx, look," he began. "Robin wanted to test me, and Speedy and Aqua Lad Started and it took them forever to declare a winner," he said. Jinx smiled she wasn't really mad at him.

"SO who won?" she asked.

"I did," Kid Flash said proudly.

"You?" Jinx said questioningly.

"Yeah I had to end it, I mean come on an hour of watching them beat the crap out of each other," He said

"Sounds like you had a productive day," Jinx said sounding a little jealous.

"Yeah but it was dull without you around," Kid Flash said leaning and giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Why didn't you come Robin told me he asked you," he said moving past her a sitting on the couch.

"Right now I need to sort thing out, get my life in order," Jinx said.

"What do you mean?' Kid Flash asked looking at her confused.

"I need to be sure I made the right decision leaving the HIVE five, being with you and all that," she said.

"Sounds like you had a busy day too," Kid Flash said. Jinx sat down next to him.

"flash, I spent the whole day thinking this through," she said. "you gave me a chance at redemption, you made me see who I really am," she said.
