Chapter 4

Kid Flash's POV

Urgh why does my head hurt, more importantly where the hell am I? Why am I half naked? Gar is going to get it if I'm late for my wedding. Crap, my wedding! What time is it? I look at my watch I have 4 hours to figure out where the hell I am, and get to my wedding on time, oh and pick up my tux.

If I run in any direction I should get somewhere, eventually. I'll be able to get a map and figure out what to do from there. I start running, remind me to kill Gar once I remember what happened last night.

I eventually got to the church, I was on time! So I started doing a mini dance in the corridor when Dick walks up to me with a look of relief.

"Thank God, we've been stalling for the last half hour, the girls wanted to know where you were for pre-pictures." He says using air quotes.

"I'm just curious as to why I woke up in desert in the middle of Africa half naked?" I say pulling on my tux jacket.

"Don't ask me, you made a bet with James and Gar last night saying you could get around the world and buy a souvenir and take a picture with every famous monument in the planet, in half an hour. When you didn't get back after you sent that picture from the stadium in south Africa we just assumed you'd fallen asleep somewhere."

"You guys didn't come looking for me?"

"Yes let's look for the speedster who was most likely fine and just sleeping somewhere random." He says straightening my tie.

Roy walks in, "Hey dude, you ready for your life to be over?"

"Roy, my friend you've got it all wrong, my life is only just beginning."

"Sure, I'll remind you of these words in 20 years, when you've a receding hair line and Jinx is screaming at you for being a useless piece of shit whilst your whiny speedster children ignore you." He says messing up my hair, he starts to style it, I scowl at him making him laugh.

A new voice chimes in, "Pretty sure that only happens to you arrow guys, us flashes pick the best wives, who love us dearly and put up with us running into thing in excitement when our kids start walking."

"Uncle Barry!" I cry out in joy, here to save the day as usual.

"Hey Kid, I got the rings!" Barry had gotten the rings, they'd been engraved with a rose then the word forever.

I smile excitedly. It's nearly time. Let's do this.

Jinx's POV

"Toni, I can't do this."

"Seriously? Quit being a chicken, you've faced harder."

"What could be harder?"

All the bridesmaids look at me as if to say, you really want to go there?

"Jinx, you've faced scarier things in the last few weeks,*cough*the blue fuzzy stuff in the tower's fridge*cough*. You live with him, you're practically married already, and all that's changing is a few words and a piece of paper making it official. You love him, right?" Toni says

"Of course, but what if something goes wrong, what if I trip? What if he changes his mind? What if we can't cope with the commitment of being married and break up and end up hating each other?"

"Girl, now you're just being ridiculous." Bee says.

"But-"

"No but's, what if's or worries, you just have to go with it, we've all seen you with Wally it was obvious to all of us from day one that you loved each other, even when you guys didn't know it. I gotta go take my seat, I'll see you guys in there you look great"

"Right, yeah. Thanks Karen" I say uncertainly.

"Breathe." Argent tells me, passing me my bouquet.

Raven comes in looking a wee bit harassed, "Places everyone!" she calls out to everyone, and she arranges the groomsmen in order with the bridesmaids.

Star lines up next to Rob, Wally follows in after, Kole and Cyborg walk in before Argent and Hotspot, BB and Rae. I'm at the end, I'd asked Jay to walk me down the aisle, I held on to his arm and he gave it a reassuring pat and a smile.

"Oh my God Jay, I've forgotten how to breathe."

He chuckles at this, "You'll be fine, Jinx."

"What if I trip?"

"If you even try I'll catch you, remember faster than the speed of sound even at the age of 60."

I smile at this, "Okay, I can do this."

"You can do this, you're much more than you know, you're much stronger than you think. Kid, I've been around a long time and I've never met anyone as strong or capable as you and I've never met a better match than you and Wally, except maybe Barry and Iris, and me and Joan, but you bring out the best in each other. Now let's get walking or Wally's going to come looking for you."

"We wouldn't want that."

The music starts playing, we'd been a little less traditional, we'd still gone for classical music but I don't know the wedding march just sounded so boring. We'd gotten one of Beethoven's piano sonatas

It was beautiful, everyone we knew had come including some of the central city rogues (which I still don't understand but Wally says they're family) , but I only saw Wally at the end, for that one moment nothing mattered; not flower arrangements, not hemlines, not catering, not venues, not music, nothing. Just Wally and I, nothing else mattered. I smile I don't think I've ever had something so perfect, I don't think anything has ever gone so right.

The ceremony went by so quickly, I'd been engrossed in Wally's lapis lazuli gaze. We said our vows and said I do. I am now Felicia J Sior-West and no one could ever take that away from me.

We kissed in our own little moment of pure bliss.

Too bad it didn't last for long, something had to go wrong, it was all too perfect.

BANG!

The doors of the church swung open, with a flash of wild power, the whole room rose to its feet ready for action, bad move attacking a church full of most the teen titans and half the Justice League of America.

"Well darling, did you miss me?" A voice asks

I feel my stomach drop like I'm on a roller-coaster.

"No mom, I didn't." I choke out in a horse whisper. What's she doing here? When did she figure out I'd left a life of villainy behind? How did she get here? Why now, after all this time?

I try my best to stay calm. "What are you what are you… what are you doing here?" I finally manage trying to keep the fear out of my voice, Wally notices and pulls me behind him protectively, I can't decide whether to be annoyed or happy he feels like I need to be protected.

"At ease ladies and gentlemen, I come in peace, thought I'd give my daughter a wedding gift."

She's using her powers, her melodic voice is interlaced with charms that make people succumb to her smallest whim, it goes to the oldest in the family, my sister had it, and I'm guessing my first kid would have it as well.

"Hello darling, my, haven't you grown. I bet your proud of who you are, the way you've shed your villainous roots, your relationship with your pretty little boy toy here. Darling, it on this day, that your life begins, that's what you believe, right? I'm offering you some advice, don't love, you'll kill him anyway, just like me, it's in our nature, chaos cannot be controlled, it has to run free. And it's faster than pretty boy here will ever be.

Get out while the goings good, I can promise you that one day you'll wake up next flash boy here, and you'll realize his best will never be good enough for you, let's just hope that at this point you don't have two kids who have his carefree attitude that you once found sexy, before you realized carefree doesn't pay the bills."

"Get out." Wally choked, fighting off my mother's compulsion "Leave her alone, you may've given birth to her, but you clearly don't know your daughter, and you don't know me. I love your daughter, so much it hurts to be away from her. And I will run until my final breath if that means keeping up with her, I will never stop if it means staying with her. And if at some point we are fortunate enough to have children I will do everything in my power to ensure they never, ever go through what you put Jinx through."

He hadn't been told everything about her childhood, but he knows it was bad and that my family sucked at being a family. He knows it was rough when I grew up and the most basic points of the story, he doesn't know about Delilah, hell I don't really know that much about Lila.

"Oh but where's the fun in that?" My mother asks before hexing Wally, throwing him into a pillar in the church. Enough is enough, I'm not letting her spoil today, and I've wasted enough time on her.

"I'm done with you mom, I'm done with wasting my life thinking about you, and whatever the hell happened that night with you and Lila. If you see this as fun, there's no wonder I was so messed up before I met Wally, I believed that things that are wrong were right. I was so twisted and I see that now. You are done, ruining my life, you are done bringing out the worst in me, and if you ever go near my husband or my family, I will hunt you down and I will make sure you never hurt anyone ever again. Am I clear?" I say releasing hexes at her continually, she may have all her charms and curses, but I have raw strength, and energy coursing through my veins.

"Stay out of my life! Stay away from my family! And stay the hell away from my husband!" I cry out releasing a hex on every other word, throwing her out of the church, with a violence that probably reminded everyone who I once was, I didn't care the people here are my family, they were invited by me and I am not putting up with any uninvited guests.

"Darling, know I'm never far, and I will always be watching, whenever you start to relax, just know I'm always there, you can never escape my grasp, I'll always come back for you sweetheart, you can never escape your past." She cackles from the doorway.

"I can damn well try." I mutter.

Wally smiles giving me a peck on the cheek, "Is it bad I got totally turned on by that." He mutters in my ear.

I laugh, "Let's go dance you lug. I love you."

"Well I love you too, that was the whole point of this fancy shindig."

"You have to be the biggest idiot on the planet." I say.

"Did you know that you're crying?" he says sweetly as he wipes away the few traitorous tears that had tumbled down my cheeks.

"So are you two gunna make out or can we eat that cake now?" Barry asks, making the room full of people we'd almost forgotten laugh.

INSERTLINEBREAK

Wally's POV

The reception was a blur of dancing, cake, speeches, photographers and champagne, I loved it Jinx was now my wife, and we were about to go on our honeymoon, we'd boarded the plane (I could've run us but no Jinx wanted the real experience), I think Jinx was still worrying about her mother's threat, I know in this situations it's better to ask what Jinx was thinking rather than guessing, that just annoyed her.

"Watcha thinkin' about?" I ask her

"It's nothing." She says into her neck pillow

"Something's bothering you, and it's not the airplane food." I joke.

"It's just my mother just showing up out of nowhere, it's just messing with my head." She says with a sigh, admitting it to me. We were on an airplane en route to Paris for their honeymoon the plan was to travel all over Europe over the next 6 weeks.

"It'll be ok." I say putting my arm around her.

"We just got married, I want happy and being all cute newly weds, and I don't want to deal with my crazy past, and all of the skeletons in my closet."

"Do you want to tell me about your mom?"

"It complicated, my mom's crazy. Literally. She's the reason I got into the life I had and why I didn't have my dad or my sister around on my wedding day, and part of the reason I have all these problems."

"Yeah, but at least one good thing came out of everything."

"And what was that?" she asks me quirking her eyebrows

"If you hadn't of gone through all that you went though, We'd never have met and you wouldn't be this beautiful, strong, intelligent, powerful, strong and competent woman, the woman that I fell in love with, the beautiful woman I married and the woman I want to send the rest of my life with." I say kissing her every few words.

"You are such an optimistic cheese ball." She says nestling her head into the crook of my shoulder, I give her a kiss on the forehead, I don't want to push her to tell me anything, but my inner scientist is curious. Her eyes droop slowly. She's asleep, I look at her face, it looks so innocent when she's asleep she looks years younger, her lips stay in a small pout and her long eyelashes fame her large eyes, she's breath taking, how did I get so lucky? I kiss her forehead again.

"Sleep well beautiful, I love you and I'll always protect you." I whisper in her ear. As we take off

A/N: So we've got a little more of a plot going now, in the next chapter they'll be adjusting to married life and getting back from their honeymoon. Obviously the threat of Jinx's mother is very real and I think it's fairly obvious that she is going to be an fairly key antagonist in this story . This chapter is dedicated to Lycansforce on Deviant art for letting me use their pic as a cover
