Red and Pink
Authors Note: I've decided against my original plan, this chapter will be something like an epilogue. I love writing Kid flash/Jinx but I'm slowly losing my inspiration for this story. As always, Nicole's (Jinx's) POV. Oh yeah, I don't own the Teen Titans or D.A.R.E.
Wally and I've been together for a year now. We've been at our happiest whenever we're together. A few weeks ago, Terra and Beast Boy finally got married and she's already pregnant. They're excited be on belief. Robin, on the other hand, isn't that excited, something about a child being in danger, or whatever. I know everything will work out, it always does. I've been helping Raven and Starfire decorate the nursery. Cyborg's been baby proofing the tower, basically Robin's evidence room and the exercise areas are just going to be gated off.
We got a German shepherd puppy a couple of months ago. We named him Flash. He's been really good and he keeps me company whenever Wally goes on missions with the Titans. I haven't felt comfortable going on missions much so I normally stay behind.
We've been talking about children and marriage a lot lately. I guess it makes sense that Wally proposed to me last night. I said yes to him, of course. He did it right in front of all the Titans while we were in Titans' Tower. Robin and Raven are engaged now also. Cyborg is planning on proposing to Bumble Bee, but he's too nervous to actually get the words out.
Wally hasn't used drugs since his last slip up that landed him in rehab. I'm very proud of him for quitting like he did. The Titans and I have been trying to convince him to go talk to elementary students to teach them about drugs and how bad they can be. He's agreed to go as long as I go with him.
On a Thursday we stood outside of Jump City Elementary school. We walked into the office and told them we were here to talk the fifth and sixth grade students in the D.A.R.E program. The secretary handed us visitor passes and walked us down the hall to the gymnasium.
The principal had just started and when he saw us standing in the doorway, he introduced us, using our superhero names.
"Hello everyone, like your principal said, my name is Kid Flash. This girl standing next to me is Jinx. You guys might know that she used to be a bad guy but now she's good. It might surprise you that she's not the one who did drugs, I was. I started doing Heroin when I was about fifteen or sixteen. It was just last year that I quit and I owe it all to her. In rehab I learned how to deal with my problems and not by doing drugs. Does anyone have any questions for me or Jinx?" Wally told the younger kids. "Yes? You?"
"What was it like?" a little boy asked.
"It was a lot of fun when you're high. You feel like you're on top of the world and then you crash. Crashing is the most terrible feeling in the world. I felt like I was going to die every time I crashed. I felt tired and hungry and cold. I had chills and I puked a lot. The high wasn't worth it." Wally explained before pointing to another kid.
"Jinx, was it hard to see him like that?" a little girl asked.
"Yes, I didn't know he was doing drugs when we first started dating. Once I found out I made him detox completely without rehab, those were scary days. He would shake and cry and puke, I hated those days. Doing drugs isn't worth hurting the ones you love."
The assembly continued for another few hours. Eventually the couple walked down the street to go grab some lunch and then go to the park with their puppy. Everything worked out in the end.
