The Future Freaks Me Out

Chapter 4: This Is For Real


"You can't leave me here alone with our future kid!" Kid Flash screeched at Jinx. The other Titans went to try to find Red X and get one of his 'marble portal' things.

"I have a team to get back to; they can't even tie their own shoes without me!" Jinx replied trying to get out the door; Kid Flash had her by the waist and was trying to pull her back into the common room, but she wouldn't budge. Ace was leaning against the back of the couch watching the show.

"No, you're not going anywhere until he's back in his time!" Kid Flash scooped her up in his arms and before she knew it, she was tied to a chair in the kitchen.

"This is like kidnapping, you know? You can't keep me here against my will!"

"I can and I will. It doesn't matter if you get loose because I'll always be faster than you," he said triumphantly and stuck out his tongue.


"I told you, I don't have anymore! I used my last one today," Red X explained; he was getting quite annoyed with all of the badgering.

"There has to be one more!" Robin said pleadingly.

"Nope, that was it. No more, zip, nada, zilch, end o' story."

"Well where can we find another one?"

"Gizmo might have a few left," Red recommended.

"Wait a tick, how many of you guys have these things?" Cyborg stepped in.

"Quite a few of us, actually; sort of a trend going around. I was curious and wanted to see how it worked so figured what better test subjects than the Teen Titans?" he said with an amused tone.



"The why did you add Jinx into the mix?" Beast Boy asked.

"For dramatic effect."

"That is not nice," Starfire said with a perplexed look on her face; she couldn't fathom why someone would just send a group of people to the future for the fun of it.

"Life isn't nice," he said with a shrug.


Kid Flash's super speed was a great help when it came to catching Jinx; however, it didn't help at all with finding her. He would catch her, she would distract him, she would hide, and he would find her. They repeated this cycle for about 20 minutes.

Now, Jinx was hiding on top of the refrigerator hoping he wouldn't find her.

"Jinx, you're being so dramatic," Kid called.

"I am not!" she shouted back, poking her head out of her hiding place. She immediately clapped her hands over her mouth, but it was too late. He had her again in a matter of milliseconds and he didn't intend to let her get away again.

"Calm down, you make it seem like I'm going to handcuff you to my bed and rape you or something." Jinx was squirming and he was having a hard time keeping a grip on her.

"It's just a matter of time; how else would I get pregnant your kid?"

"Ouch," he said putting on a fake hurt face.


"What's the password?" Billy Numerous called from an opening in their sofa cushion fort.

"Quit playing games, we need to ask Gizmo something," Raven said; her eyes glowed red to show that they weren't messing around. They heard the sounds of people moving around inside for about a minute or two until Gizmo's face appeared in the opening where Billy had just been.

"What do you crudmunchers want?" he asked.

"We need a portal to the future," Robin spoke up and he crossed his arms over his chest.

"What makes you think I'd give one to you?"

"Because we're holding Jinx hostage and that's the ransom," Raven stated completely emotionlessly.

"Prove it," See-More ordered from behind Gizmo. Cyborg pulled out his T-Com and called Kid Flash

"I'm kind of busy, what do you want?" Kid Flash asked.

"You still have Jinx there?" Cyborg answered with a question of his own.

"Yeah, but she's not exactly cooperating." Then something smashed in the background.

"Aw come on Jinx! Just stand still for like 10 seconds!"

"No way!" she called back to him.

"Look, I got to go before she tries to escape again." With that, Kid Flash shut his communicator and turned his attention back to Jinx.

"That enough proof for you?" Robin asked with a smirk.

"Fine, fine, but we'd better get our leader back," Gizmo grumbled. He fished through his pockets for a few moments before finally finding what he was looking for and handed it over to the group of teens that just spoiled all chances of them having fun for the rest of the evening.

"She's gonna be in such a bad mood when she get's back," Billy stated, fear evident in his voice. Kyd Wykyyd nodded in agreement.

"Whatever," Raven said as Starfire reached for the tiny portal. She had it in her hand and spun around on her heel to return to her friends; until she sneezed. She dropped the ball out of the suddenness of the sneeze and it immediately opened up.

"Way to go, snot-for-brains!" Gizmo shouted as all of the cushions in their fort were immediately sucked in.


"So…we're married in the future?" Jinx asked Ace, gesturing to Kid Flash. She finally calmed down after accepting the fact that she wasn't going anywhere.

"Very much so," he answered.

"And we've got two, soon to be three, kids?" Kid Flash asked.

"Yep."

"We must be pretty busy in the future, babe," Kid playfully bumped into Jinx. She fought back a smile and replaced it with a scowl.

"That or the rare times where you do manage to seduce me there aren't any condoms on hand," she almost laughed at the putdown.

"Psh, you know you just can't get enough of this beast."

"Oh yeah, that's definitely it," she rolled her eyes.

"Face it, you totally dig me; you're just in denial," Kid Flash accused her.

"Keep dreaming, Kid."

"Come on, tell the truth."

"I am telling the truth!"

"Oh please, are you seriously trying to say that within the next year I'm going to sweep off your feet, get you pregnant, and convince you to marry me? All before you even had a tiny little crush on me?"

Jinx hesitated for about a minute before answering. "That's exactly what I'm saying." Kid Flash gave a sigh of disappointment before Ace felt the need to step in.

"You forget, I listen to you guys tell me about this junk all the time; mom, you always say that you fell head-over-heels for dad when he gave you that rose after you helped him escape from Madam Rouge." Jinx's cheeks were officially the same color as her hair and eyes. 'I don't think I've ever been this embarrassed in my entire life,' she thought.

"Well then it's settled! After this whole debacle we're going on a cinematic adventure," Flash declared.


"Where's Ace?" Wally asked the Titans and the H.I.V.E. Five.

"Well, we're still working on it; but while we're here, do you think that we can get an extra portal back here for him so we don't have to strike any more deals with any more villains?" Robin asked. All he wanted to do was go home and take a nap. Naturally, he was stuck picking up after everyone else. Ace was Jinx and Kid Flash's kid, not his. He could have told them to solve the problem themselves, but no. He was a good guy; that and he didn't want some manwhore from the future running amuck throughout his city.

Vic sighed, "I'll go find Red X."
