Hey, here's chapter 2. It took me awhile, and it wasn't beta read, but here it is.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the properties included in this story, such as Teen Titans, or Young Justice. I only own this idea.


It was two days after the incident with Cheshire and the bank robbery, and things were peaceful. Kid Flash had visited the police station the day before to have a "talk" with them about how they had treated his Jinx, and told her that they had promised it wouldn't happen again. Not that Jinx believed the police officers, but it was definitely sweet for Kid to try.

She awoke to the scent of bacon and the sizzling of a pan. She was momentarily confused by it all until she remembered that she was with Kid Flash, not her old team and that this was actually normal with him. (Not that she still wasn't slightly concerned that he wasn't going to burn down the kitchen)

She got dressed at a moderate pace, looking forwards to food but taking her time as it was such a commodity as a villain or a hero to not be in a rush. When she came out into the kitchen she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Kid Dork stood in front of the stove, flipping pancakes, with a "Kiss the Cook" apron on. A quick look at the table revealing eggs, bacon, and toast all on platters, as well as two sets of silverware, two plates, two empty cups, and one pitcher of juice.

She could barely speak through her laughter at the sight of her boyfriend cooking and wearing that apron and asked: "Wh-What are you -haha- wearing?"

"Hey! I happen to think I look amazing with this on, thank you very much!"

"Please, as much as I like you, that apron just looks silly on you, and it clashes with your uniform."

He finished the pancakes and walked over to the table with several pancakes on a plate, placing them in the middle of the table with the rest of the food before speaking. "Babe, I'm hurt. How could you say such a thing… but if you feel that way, I could just take the uniform off."

"W-what… are you suggesting that…. we… I mean… you're really amazing and hot but we've only been together for a few months and-" She was shushed with a finger on her lips, as Kid Flash gave her a concerned look from across the table and sincerely said.

"Jinx, that's not what I meant at all. I was just suggesting that I could change into normal clothes, you know, civilian clothes."

"Oh… good… Wait, what? I don't know your secret identity, isn't it risky for you to wear regular clothes around me?"

"What's risky about it? We're dating, Jinx. We should know each other's real names."

"Isn't that kind of a big step, I mean I could be wrong, but Robin's been leading the Titans for years, and they still don't know his real name."

"Yeah, but that's different, their teammates, not… not significant others. Besides, Rob's always been secretive. Bat and all."

"Still, Kid, don't you have people you care about… like, parents? Wouldn't people knowing put them in danger?" She missed how his eyes darkened at the word 'parents', too distracted by her own feet.

"Jinxy, I really care about you. A lot. You don't have to worry, I trust you. You won't tell anyone who I am, and no one else will know. Ok?"

"Kid, I'm still not sure-" Jinx was cut off by a swift hug from the speedster who held her close for almost a minute, which to a speedster was probably an hour, before pulling away but still holding onto her arms gently before asking once more.

"Jinx, please. You don't have to tell me who you are, but I really want to tell you who I am." He looked down at her with sincere blue eyes, and she sighed, giving in. "Ok, go ahead. Pff-" she was cut off by an excited kiss from Kid Flash, and the first thing she saw when they pulled apart was his eyes. He looked so excited and happy, like a kid on Christmas morning. She almost felt bad for nearly denying him that happiness.

With a wosh Kid Flash disappeared, a full minute later a green eyed boy with messy red hair replacing her blue eyed speedster. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a yellow shirt with a red plaid unbuttoned shirt over it.

Jinx wasn't sure how to respond for a moment before exclaiming "You, your eyes, they're green. How?" She hadn't expected that much of a change. Sure, she had once had gray eyes and blonde hair, but that was so long ago, and it wasn't like she could just take off a uniform to get them back.

"Oh, that? Yeah… you're gonna think I'm lame, but I wear contacts to keep dirt out of my eyes when I'm running."

This didn't even faze the pinkett as she responded: "But Kid, why blue?"

"About that… There are some people that might go looking for me, so I figured that if I wore colored contacts they'd be less likely to figure out it's me. Oh, and it's Wally by the way. Wally West." He rubbed the back of his head awkwardly as he told her this.

"Oh. Wally… Um. Ok. Wait, what? Why are people looking for you?" At this Jinx crossed her arms and frowned at him, waiting for an answer.

"Uh… well, you see… I'm well… I'm a runaway."

"Seriously? But you're so… perfect. What could you possibly have to run from?"

"Awww, you think I'm perfect." "Get back on track, Kid Idiot." "Hey!" "Fine, get back on track, Wally." "Ok, Jinxy…" "Wally!"

"Ok, ok. So here's the thing. My, uh, dad used to abuse me, and my mom just kinda watched… the only good things in my life were my Aunt and Uncle, science, and well, the Flash. Then one day, when I was visiting my uncle's house. I found a journal in his closet. It revealed that he was… the Flash. My hero."

"Wow, Kid- I mean, Wally."

"I'm not done yet. So, I confronted him, told him that I knew, asked him to make me his sidekick. Even suggested that I move in with him and my Aunt for 'convenience'. He completely shut me down, said that that wouldn't work because I wasn't a speedster, and because my parents would "miss me too much" if I lived with him and Aunt I- my aunt, that is. I tried to tell him, but he didn't believe me, he thought I was just making things up, that I was just so determined to live with my Idol."

"That's… horrible, but then how did…" Jinx trailed off as she reached over to grab Wally's hand. Wally smiled at her, his eyes still sad as he replied to her.

"I was just about to get to that. So I stole my uncle's notes, and using my chemistry set, combined with some things I uh, stole, from his lab… he's a CSI, by the way… I recreated the experiment that gave him his powers in my parent's garage. And the next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hospital covered in bandages from extreme burns caused by the lightning. My uncle was there, and he looked so… disappointed. He told me that I could have killed myself. And how scared he and my aunt were, they thought I wouldn't make it. He told me that it didn't work and that he was upset that I'd go so far just to become his sidekick. He didn't get it. I didn't do it just to be his sidekick, I did it to get away from my parents, I figured it was my chance, I'd get powers, and then Uncle Barry and Aunt Iris would let me live with them…"

He began to cry and Jinx nearly threw herself out of her seat, as she rushed to Kid Flash's side to hug him, trying to soothe the crying speedster.

"Thanks… Um… anyways. When I got out of the hospital, it turned out I really did have powers. So he agreed to let me be his sidekick. But not to let me live with him. My uh, parents… they thought I was a freak. They hated me for it, for ruining the garage, for causing a scene, for going to the hospital with burns, and for what I was. They were both extra cruel after that, especially my father, who began to hurt me more often, and… worse. Then, they started starving me… I tried to get help, but Uncle B wouldn't listen to me… and then I heard that Robin had run away after a fight with Batman, and I figured, if he could do it, then so could I."

Jinx gently rubbed circles on his back, trying to comfort him, as Wally cried onto her shoulder.

"Anyways, I figured I'd wear blue contacts so if the police started looking for Wally West, they wouldn't connect him to Kid Flash. My parents probably wouldn't tell them, since they're too embarrassed to admit to having a "freak" as a son."

"Wow, and I thought I had it bad… Kid Flash, Wally, you are not, in any way, a freak. If anyone's a freak, it's me." By now Jinx was sitting on Wally's lap, looking up at him fondly.

"By the way… you never did tell me your real name, Jinx." Wally looked down at her curiously.

She sighed "Don't. Don't even get me started on that. The person I used to be is dead. I can't go back and there's no reason to bring it up. My name, my only name. Is Jinx."

Wally frowned, but nodded, deciding not to push the question. After a little bit, Jinx returned to her seat, and they ate their now cold breakfasts in silence.


After breakfast, they moved to what counted as the "living room" of the hideout.

Wally turned the TV on, asking Jinx "What should we watch?"

"How about history channel?"

"Are you sure? Because I was thinking the science channel."

"You always watch the science channel."

"Because I love science, and besides you always watch the history channel."

"I Do Not!"

"Yes, you do."

"Kid?"

"Yes?"

"Maybe we should just watch the news."

"Alright…"

Jinx grabbed the remote, which was sitting between them on the couch, and put on the local news. To their surprise, the anchorwoman was gesturing to the screen behind her, which contained a grainy photograph of Jinx fighting the bank robbers the day before.

"Still confirmation from the police on the identity of the mysterious pink-haired Metahuman seen stopping a bank robbery downtown yesterday. However, witnesses of the attempted crime claim her not to be a hero, but rather the super villain Jinx best known for leading the Hive Five gang in Jump City. There has been no confirmation on this, and our sources have confirmed that the Hive Five are still in custody after an international incident in Paris a few months ago. Have they escaped? Or has their leader gone rogue? Or is this all a case of mistaken identity?"

Wally rolled his eyes before asking "Mind if I change it to the national news?" Causing Jinx to sigh and hand him the remote, muttering "Please" as he took the remote from her hand and put on a different news station, this one showing a blond haired news anchor.

"In other news, The Flash was seen yet again with his sidekick yesterday, something that has been more frequent for the first time in over a year after Kid Flash, apparently, went solo. Our sister station in Central City managed to get a few words from the Flash on the matter:"

Here the camera feed changed to show a red-haired woman standing in front of a partially burned down building. "Iris West-Allen at the scene of a fire downtown Central City, which was just put out by our very own Fastest Man Alive! Flash, was anyone hurt in the fire?"

The camera panned to show the Flash, who was slightly dirty from soot but no worse for wear, and was grinning at the reporter as he answered "Thankfully no one was hurt too seriously, although there is one cat covered in soot that might beg to differ, at least going by the marks he left on my suit" here he turned to show the camera some scratch marks and slight tearing on the shoulder of his suit. "But that's not what you want to ask me, is it, Mrs. West-Allen?" His voice almost teaseing her.

Jinx was still sitting on the couch as she glanced next to her at her boyfriend, his true name still feeling foreign on her tongue as she asked: "Hey Wally?"

"Yeah, Jinx?"

"I know you said that the Flash is your uncle, but by any chance is that Iris West-Allen woman your Aunt?"

"What?! What makes you say that?!" Wally stared at her in surprise, wondering how she could figure it out so soon. Jinx raised an eyebrow as she listed things off. "Hmm, firstly that you have the same last name, secondly that she looks like you but older and a woman, and thirdly the fact that the Flash is currently flirting with her."

"Ok, you got me. Yeah, that's my Aunt Iris, and The Flash is her husband Barry Allen, a CSI for the CCPD."

"Cool, good cover for a superhero." Jinx smiled at him.

Back on the TV, the Flash was answering the reporter, also known as the Flash's wife and Wally's aunt. "Yeah, Kid Flash is still solo, but it was nice to work with him again. I've missed him."

"Is it true that he joined the Teen Titans?"

"Yes, he's a Teen Titan now."

"In that case why have you been working with him, if he already has his own team? Have things been getting more dangerous that you need his backup more often?"

"No, I asked for his help once or twice because we ran into each other as I was getting a crime alert, and since then we've just been teaming up for old time's sake." The Flash was rubbing the back of his head awkwardly as he finished talking, only to suddenly put a hand on the part of his mask covering his ears. "Sorry Iris, duty calls, gotta run!" He disappeared in a blur of red and yellow.

Now the screen changed to show the anchorwoman, who began to discuss Wonder Woman, who had apparently stopped a supervillain from robbing the Smithsonian.

The couple ignored the TV, as Jinx looked at Kid Flash curiously. "So why have you been working with The Flash more lately? Wouldn't he want to take you back to your parents? Or are things just that bad that you have to risk it to help?"

Wally blinked at her, his face blank until an understanding look took over. "Wha- Oh, that! Yeah, after I was gone for awhile, my uncle doing an unofficial crime scene investigation in my room to see what made me run away… he found proof of the abuse, in the form of old blood stains from before I got my powers and some new ones that didn't look like they were just leftover from fighting crime… and uh, I might have kept a journal for a few years, I didn't want to risk writing something about being a hero in it, so I stopped about a year after I got my powers."

"So he was apologizing for not believing you?" Jinx looked at him gently, reaching over to place her hand on his.

"Uh, yeah, sorta- he… he wants me to live with Iris and him. He brought all the evidence to the police, and they were able to charge my parents with abuse without me being there, since they had my old journal, the evidence, and apparently my mom testified against my father…" Wally answered slowly, reaching up to rub the back of his head as he waited for her reply.

"Wow… so, your parents… Wait, your uncle wants you to live with him?" Jinx looked subdued and empathetic, up until his words caught up with him. At this, she looked up at him with her mouth and eyes wide in surprise.

"Well- um, he asked, ok! I never said yes! I'm happy here with you, I don't need to live with them? I mean, ok, I miss them, but-but, if I live there you'll be here alone, and even if I visit every day it still won't be enough…. I like being with you, I like us living together like this. And I guess I'm a little worried because I still don't know much about your past before HIVE, and I'MSCAREDYOUMIGHTGEVILAGAIN!" He talked slowly and awkwardly at first until he grew worried and scared and began to talk far too fast.

"Kid, how long has this been bothering you? When did he first ask?"

"Since two weeks ago. He asked me to have dinner with him and Aunt Iris, he had already told me about the court case, so I knew it would be safe, and I agreed… During dinner, they asked me to come back, to live with them and enroll back in school. I told them I wasn't sure because I'm living here with you. And it's not like you have anywhere else to go, right? I mean, I guess you could go live with the main Titans or Titans East, or maybe form a new team with some of the other Titans… but still…"

"Wally… do you want to live with them? I've been on my own before, if you really want to go, to live with them and have a family, I don't want to hold you back. If I- if I had that chance, to have a happy, safe family- I'd take it. We can still be together, I'll just live with the other Titans or something… I don't know" Jinx looked down, remembering her conversation with Jade, wondering if Jade was right if she really could go home, be Artemis again.

Wally looked at her worriedly, wanting to change the subject. "I do want to go live with them, but I'm not sure… I'll think about it. In the meantime, I was wondering if you wanted to go visit the main Titans today, I haven't seen Robin in a while."


Thanks for reading, please leave a review if you have the time, as it would be nice to know what people think of this.
