It was raining. The streets were slick and it was dark.

The kid ran as fast as his legs could take him in this gloom, dodging past traffic and angry pedestrians. 'Fuck this shit! That was just too much pressure!'

"Hey! Watch it kid!"

'FUCK! I blew it, didn't I?'

"Young man! Watch where you're going!"

'But they were the Teen Titans! Who the hell WOULDN'T succumb to that kind of pressure?' Zero was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't really comprehend the car, zooming at full speed, which slammed straight into his ribs and sent him flying over the roof of the speeding auto. He rolled and tumbled, falling down onto the streets in a bloody mess.

The streets were tough.

"STUPID FUCKING KIDS!" The anonymous driver hollered, stomping out of his car, "FUCK! The kid is probably dead! Oh shit, how the fucking lawsuits will roll in! I can't pay for this shit!"

But luckily, this fucking kid was tough too.

"Ahhh shit," said the man, "this kid is dead meat!" He slapped the body across the face and began to poke and prod "How the fuck am I gonna get the hell out of this one?"

He never finished his little soliloquy, regards to the fist that suddenly jumped out and slammed against his flapping jaw, knocking a tooth or two out. Not that it really mattered how many teeth flew out anyways, because after this kid got up, kneed his face in and threw him down to the ground in rage, he couldn't really feel much of anything at all.

Needless to say, traffic reached an all time high that night.


Gripping his sides, he trudged down the alley ways. His ribs didn't really hurt as much as his guilt. "Damn…" he cried to himself, "What have I done? Where can I go? What the hell am I supposed to-", sudden noise in the shadows surprised him, cutting him short.

Giggles and snickers are quietly expelled. Female snickers.

"Who goes there?" A confused, frightened Zero asked his apparently invincible adversary. Well, at least he thought it was an enemy. "God damn it! Who the hell are you?"

A loud crash. A small, black cat moseys on by.

"Wouldn't you believe it, it's just my luck" he laughed to himself, "It's just a cat". He slid down the brick alley wall, onto the cold, wet ground and gently lifted the cat, setting it on his lap. "Such a cute cat… A cute black cat…" being the superstitious kid he is, he let out an exasperated gasp, "Which probably means I'm in some pretty deep sh-" The cat stopped purring and jumped out of his lap, running back into the shadows. "Damn, what the hell?"

More giggling breaks out, echoing throughout the alleyways.

"What the hell is going on?" he looks around, cautiously, still gripping his ribs which have healed remarkably. Suddenly a pot falls from above, landing directly in front of him. "What the fuck?" More crazy things begin to happen, ladders threatening to smash him and animals going wild at the sight of him. He was beginning to get scared, as his life was in real danger right now, as objects start to break around him, almost killing him. It was dark and the ground was very slippery due to the pouring rain. He tripped over himself, but rolled just in time to avoid more danger. It was a very supernatural experience for him.

Though, he has been through stranger things.

He eventually figured it out, he began to laugh. 'Exactly why I came…' "Alright! Jokes over, ya got me!" After a moment of silence, a wild, pink-haired girl ran over, punched him the stomach and tackled him to the ground. Showering him with kisses.

"Holy crap! It's you! I can't believe you came all this way just to see me again!" the girl cried out fanatically, "I can't fucking believe it!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here… been a fucking trip too! So much shit has been going on…" Zero replied, "But it's good to finally meet you again, sister! It's been so long!"

"Hell yeah it has…"

"So, Jinx, What have you been up to lately? Still doing that mercenary shit?"

"Yup, yup!" Jinx smiled, looking up at him, "So, I understand that you were involved in some huge car accident?"

"Oh, so that was you?"

She merely winked.

"Oh you sly, sly little bitch…" Zero shook his head, jokingly.
