Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you

-This is How a Heart Breaks by Rob Thomas

Kid Flash sat in a meadow surrounded by flowers, roses to be exact, a goofy grin on his face as pale grey fingers ran through his vibrant red hair. "That feels good," he murmured relishing the touch.

A giggle came from his pink hair companion. "Anything for you, Wally," she cooed.

"Anything, huh?" he asked opening his sparkling blue eyes and raising a brow mischievously as he sat up. "How about a kiss then?"

"Didn't I say anything?" she whispered before meeting his lips…

Jinx gasped as she bolted up from her sleep. Her breathing was heavy as sweat ran down her brow. She ran a shaking hand through her disheveled cotton candy hair. Her cat like gaze turned to her clock to realize that it was still early morning. She sighed, waiting for her rapidly beating heart to stop pounding against her chest.

"Why was I having that dream?" she asked herself, "No wait, that wasn't a dream," she said flopping down on her bed, "that was a nightmare."

The bad luck witch sighed, closing her eyes as she tried to return to sleep but it seemed to be eluding her. She sighed once again, this time in frustration as she kicked the sheets off her and stood up, making her way to her bathroom.

Once in there she stared at her reflection. Her tangled pink hair made her already pale skin look sick and the lack of sleep wasn't helping her either. Bags were beginning to form under her eyes adding on to her ill looking features. She wore an oversized black tee shirt that hung slightly off of one of her shoulder making her seem smaller then she actually was with pink shorts underneath. "I really need a vacation," she murmured to herself before turning on the sink and splashing cold water on her face.

After drying off, she returned to her room not knowing what to do since it was still too early to really do anything but she knew she wouldn't be able to go to sleep. She decided to make a list of things she needed to do. "Man, I'm becoming more like the Boy Blunder everyday. This can't be good for my health," she thought taking out a pen and some paper and getting started.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wally West clung tightly to his pillow, drool coming out of his open mouth. His mask was deposited uncaringly on the ground among other piles of clothes. His blazing red hair was limp, hanging in his face without the force of wind resistance holding it back.

"Mhm, Jinx…" he murmured in his sleep bring his pillow closer to him, a sleepy grin on his face. A shadow fell over the sleeping boy's figure before…

SPLASH!

"Gah!" Kid Flash gasped as he was drenched in freezing cold water.

"Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey," Jinx said darkly as she loomed threateningly over him with an empty pail in her hand. The boy gulped, burrowingdeeper into his sheets as he remembered the bad luck witch's threat of punishment.

"H-hey Jinx!" he said sheepishly. He was answered with a mop and pail thrown at him along with other cleaning supplies.

"As punishment for not withholding your responsibility AND ruining my date you will clean the tower inside and out," she said coldly.

"It could have been worst," the boy thought, "It shouldn't take me that long."

"Oh, and Flash?" the girl said in an unnervingly sweet tone.

"Y-yes?" the red head gulped.

"Hope you like working at normal speed," she said before slapping on a power inhibitor. The boy gawked shocked at what she had just done. He already felt weird without his powers.

"Y-You can't do that!" he yelled pointing at her.

"Oh, I think I can," Jinx grinned, a dark, frightning aura arround her. "Maybe this will teach you not to leave me again."

"What did you say?" Wally asked.

Jinx froze, blushing, the crimson standing out more prominently on her skin. "I said maybe this will teach you not to leave the kids again," she managed to say before rushing out the room.

Kid Flash's blank expression turned to a frown as he stared sadly out of his window. "I didn't mean to leave you, Jinx," he muttered. "Will you ever forgive me?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's wrong with me?" Jinx yelled in her mind as she stomped angrily down the hall. "I can't believe I said that. Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

"Looks like you're in deep thought, mate," a voice said dragging Jinx out of her inner argument to find out that she had made her way to the common room. She looked to see Argent, Jericho, and Herald sitting on the couch with the kids on the floor watching a cartoon.

"It's nothing," Jinx said waving Argent's question off. "I'm going to go out. I need to do some stuff."

"Commander Mc Phillips called," Herald informed her. Jinx froze. It was never good when that man called them.

"What does that porker want?" Jinx snarled.

The blue hooded boy shrugged. "Don't know. All he said was to tell you to meet him at Killer Moth's home. Something about what happened last night."

"You want us to go with you?" Argent asked.

"No," Jinx shook her head, "I'll go alone," she said before walking out of the tower.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Jinx arrived at Killer Moth's abandoned home it wasn't abandoned anymore. Police cars blocked the street up to the house and trucks belonging to forensic scientist were there with makeshift labs sat up. Police men and detectives scurried around doing whatever job they were assigned and Jinx knew that it wouldn't be too soon before the reporters arrived.

She sighed as she ducked under the police tape looking for the commander of the chief force. "Shouldn't be too hard," she mumbled under her breath. "Just have to find the person who's taking up the most space."

"So the delinquent finally showed up," a familiar gruff voice said behind her. The girl bit back her tongue as she turned around and gave the pudgy commander an unpleasant look.

"Nice to see you again, too. I see that you're still on the 20 donuts and 5 cups of coffee a day life shorten diet plan," she replied. The man snorted before waving her to follow him as he led her into the house.

"One of them freaky mutant bugs got out last night," he told her as they passed by police officers and checking for fingerprints.

The bad luck witch resisted the urge to hex the man. "I know that, my team and I took care of it."

"I saw the news," the man snorted. "Do you know how it got out?" he asked climbing down the stairs into the basement lab where the remaining of Killer Moth's experiments were. All of the containers were filled except for a large one where Jinx assumed was the one the giant moth got out of.

"No," Jinx sighed ignoring the "lazy delinquent," comment Mc Phillips muttered under his breath.

"Well, we checked it but the security cameras were shut off. Other then that, no wires were cut." the man said.

"So whoever snuck in here was good at not being caught," Jinx shrugged. "Did I really have to come here for that tad bit of information?"

Mc Phillips growled. "In this house there are alarms that can be set off if you don't have the right code to turn them off. Only I and your little group of hormonal friends know that code. Who ever got in here had to have had the code because none of the alarms went off? So, here's the thing, Klutz-"

"It's Jinx," the ex-villainous growled, pink sparks threatening at her fingertips.

"As I was saying," the Commander continued, vein throbbing on his forehead in irritation, "I didn't give the code away so it must have been you or one of the hooligans you call your teammates!"

"The Teen Titans don't associate with villains," Jinx snared.

"Then what why are you a leader of one of their teams?" Commander Mc Phillips asked pointing accusingly at her.

"As I have told you before," Jinx growled, "I…AM…NOT A…VILLIAN!!! I gave that up."

"If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck then guess what, kid!," he said poking her on the shoulder and snarling down at her, "It is a duck! Besides, the news got a glimpse of you being saved by that Red X punk."

"So what? Is there a law that says that you can't save someone because of which side you choose? What if he wanted to do the right thing for once?" Jinx defended.

The man in front of her chuckled. "Yeah, once is the key word. Look missy. You may think that everyone has forgotten your past, but you should know, no one has especially me. We're all just waiting for you to screw up and you will. There's not doubt about it. But I have to say, you did surprise me. I thought you would have turned back when that red and yellow speeding punk left ya, but I guess I was wrong. Well I don't expect to be for much longer," he smirked before walking away.

Jinx fists curled at her side. It took all her self control to not hex that fat bastard to Kingdom Come. "No," she thought, "Can't do that. Heroes don't kill and they don't attack police officers no matter how ignorant they are."

The pink hair girl stormed out of the house, getting as far away from it as possible. When she was a good distance away and hidden from sight she pressed the button on her necklace and reverted to her civilian form.

Jen sighed as she walked down Jump City's always crowded streets. She had originally planned to go talk and apologize to Eric but after her little "chat" with Commander Mc Phillips she didn't know if she was in the mood. She passed by the café and paused in front of it. "He can't work here everyday," she thought before stepping in.

She was greeted by the smell of coffee, freshly baked scones, and tea. The place wasn't crowded today as it sometimes was so she took a seat towards the back after getting some coffee.

Jen closed her eyes, messaging her temples. "We're all just waiting for you to screw up and you will…"

The brunette growled as she got up, forgetting her coffee and exited the café. On her way out the espresso machine that she had malfunctioned and one of the customers spilt their drink all over their expensive outfit.

"Is that all that I'm thought of? As a screw-up waiting to happen?" she thought to herself. "How many times have I helped protect this city? And I get reprimanded for it but that fat pig, Mc Phillips. When was the last time he saved the city?" Jen sighed. "I guess Eric was right," she said to herself. "The police force here just sits around does nothing while we get stuck with all the hard work without even a thank you from them."

Jen still seething continued to walk, not really paying attention to where she was going until someone grabbed her arm. She spun around preparing to hex the creep that was holding her until she realized who it was.

"Eric!" she said slightly surprised.

The boy smiled down at her, letting go of her arm. "Hey Jen," he said, "I had a feeling I would run into you."

The girl blushed before clearing her throat. "Look, I'm sorry for leaving you at the carnival but-"

The teen stopped her with a wave of his hand and a grin. "Don't worry about it. I understand. Wasn't it those kids you take care of the ones on the Ferris wheel and whom were saved by Jinx?" he asked.

"Yeah," Jen nodded. "I had someone watching them for me, but I guess they were incompetent and couldn't even keep their eyes on them. I'm just glad that they're okay or else it would be my behind."

"They do seem like a handful," Eric said, "but I think they really like you."

"You do?" Jen scoffed remembering how troublesome the three kids could be but she had to give it to them. They did have their moments. "Anyway, I want to make it up to you. I still feel really bad about not at least giving you a call."

"Okay, that sounds good," Eric said making Jen smile, "but not tonight," he said, "I already made plans."

It wasn't until then that the brunette noticed the bouquet of pink zinnias that he held in his hand. "Lasting affection," she murmured to herself. "How could I have been so stupid? He probably has tons of girls chasing after him? What makes me special?"

"Excuse me?" Eric asked confused.

"Oh," Jen said getting dragged out of her thoughts. "Pink zinnias. They mean lasting affection. I guess your giving it to your girlfriend" she said before wishing she hadn't said the last part.

Eric looked confused before he broke out laughing. Jen looked at him incredulously. He was laughing…at her! She could feel the blood rush to her face and was about to leave before he caught her arm again. "You're right about the meaning, but these aren't for my girlfriend."

"T-they're not?" she stuttered surprise.

"No," Eric said shaking his head, grinning at her, "but they are for someone special to me," he said before thinking. "Hey, if you're not doing anything…would you like to come meet them? I'm sure they wouldn't mind."

The disguised hero grinned happily. "Sure!"

Okay. Sorry it took me so long. I been pelted with tons of homework so I haven't had much time to work on alot of my stories. Not the best chapter, I know. It's more of a filler. Hopefully I'll be able to put one more chapter up before I get off from break but who knows. I need to start working on my Bio project.

Anyway, thanks to all my readers and anyone who has reviewed I really appreciate it. More Kid Flash in the next chapter!

Nothing more to say so...PLEASE REVIEW AND SEE YOU IN '08!!!
