So with no further delay, I bring you a new chapter of "A Walk Down Memory Lane" by your's truly, Chamzi.
I'm dedicating this chapter to:
CrazyDeafGirl and CloneWarrior, thanks guys for getting me off my ass...ets... yeah... assets.
A Walk Down Memory Lane
Chapter 11: Getting Lucky (pun intended).
"Pa-lease!" Beast Boy exclaimed untangling his hand from Raven's to gesture his outrage, "There's no way some pansy like you has any way with the ladies! The only way you had with the ladies was making them run away!"
"BB, the only lady you have an affect on is Rae. And sometimes even she doesn't know why she's with you!" Cyborg said pointing an accusing finger at the changeling.
"It's true..." Raven droned. Beast Boy simply gave up and shut his mouth as Raven pulled his hand around her waste.
"Since when was Jinx in the picture? No pun intended," Nightwing asked lifting an eyebrow at the picture Cyborg seamed to be drooling over.
A black and white photo of Jinx and Cyborg beside a burning building. Black smoke rose high into the sky and the two teens looked to have just stepped out of it. Jinx was posing for the picture by giving Cyborg a kiss while Cyborg seemed to be in Shock. The streets around the building were packed with people all wanting to get a glimpse at what had happened.
"Uh... maybe I forgot to tell you?" Cyborg said, nervousness evident in his voice. Nightwing simply stared on with amusement instead of the anger Cyborg was expecting, "Uh... How come you ain't yellin' at me an' tellin' me not to get involved with the bad guys? I mean, I know it was a long time ago and it's over an' all but-," Cyborg was cut off.
"I'm not your leader anymore, remember? Besides, I was just curios."
"Right..." Cyborg smiled with relief. So... should I tell it?"
"You've already told me this story about a dozen times. I say you shut up and we go onto the next-," Raven clasped her hand over Beast Boy's mouth.
"Go on," she urged.
"Alright ya'll. This was back right before the H.I..V.E (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Eliminations (fact from the comics)) went belly up."
Flashback
"What's wrong with you!" Jinx yelled frantically as she struggled to find her bearings.
"What's wrong with me! What's wrong with you!" Cyborg yelled as he got back on his feet after tackling the young sorcerous to the ground before she became a pile of ash under a burning support beam, "We gotta get outta here! Now!"
"No! Just leave me here! I already told you! I don't want to go anywhere with you! You betrayed us, Stone!" Jinx said backing away from a flaming wall.
"It's Victor, sides, I didn't want anyone to get hurt!" Cyborg said as he tried to pull her from the burning wreckage.
"Yeah! Well guess what, big guy! You hurt me!"
Cyborg stopped trying to force her out from behind a desk and stood up straight trying not to gag on the smoke. Her words seemed to have made an impact on him as he stood there in shock.
"I- I didn't- I mean, I-,"
"You hurt me, Stone," Jinx said with a cold tone. "In the worst way possible. I mean, you could have hit me, but no. You went for my feelings! I thought you actually cared!"
" I do! I do care!... Look Jinx. I don't want you to get hurt, I know we're on different sides here, but your still human. If I didn't care, would I be here right now?" Cyborg held out his hand for the girl to show he meant no harm.
"You don't care. It's your duty."
"Yeah, maybe your right. I mean, all this time I could easily just knocked you out cold and dragged you out of the building and handed you over to the cops, but I had to play the mean guy and try to talk you into saving your life. You're right Jinx, I don't care," Cyborg said sarcasm dripping from his voice. His hand stayed where it was, "So, are we gonna get you out of here?"
Reluctantly she reached out and took his hand. He pulled her over the desk and into his arms bridle style as he searched for an exit that wasn't already blocked. "Jinx, girl, if we're gonna make it outta this we're going to have to work together. Use your powers to burst some water pipes would you?"
"Sure thing," her Eye's glowed pink for a moment before water pipes erupted and dowsed the room, snuffing out some of the fire. Cyborg then carried the girl carefully over the floor as to keep it intact so they didn't end up on another floor. He kicked the handle of the door quickly to break it and the door swung open. Black smoke crawler on the roof and escaped into the hallway as the cyborg carried the small girl to window at the end. Smashing the window with his elbow, Cyborg pushed the girl through the window and ordered her to crawl down the drain pipe. She did as instructed. The hallway was falling into pieces just as Cyborg leapt out the window and grasped onto the wall with an iron grip. He slid down the wall leaving huge gashes down it where his metal fingers chiseled away the brick. Dropping the next few feet he met up with the small girl at the bottom. He took her hand and they ran out from in between the two buildings. A crowd had gathered in front of the burning buildings and watched with awe as walls fell under the wait of the burning wood.
The two teen sighed in relief as more walls collapsed.
"Err... Stone?"
"It's Victor."
"Right... Thanks."
"Think you might be a good guy after all?"
"Sorry, saving the world isn't in my cards."
"Then you'd better run," Cyborg said in a whisper.
"What?"
"The police are coming, I can hear the sirens."
"Oh..." Jinx seemed disappointed in the short visit.
"Hey, Cyborg! Pose for a picture?" A man said holding an old camera.
"Uh sure..." He placed an arm around the pink haired girl and smiled waiting for the flash, and just before it, Jinx got up on her tip toes and kissed him sweetly on the lips. Eye's growing wide, he quickly surrendered and closed his eyes to enjoy the shortly lived kiss.
"Thanks, Victor," Jinx said before running away through the crowds as the police cars showed up.
"Good Luck, Jinx," Cyborg whispered to himself as a fat police man ran after her. a quick pink flick of her wrist and the police man tripped and fell on his face, "Not that you need it."
End Flashback
"Didn't you just say she didn't like being a good guy? I thought she was the one who destroyed the new H.I.V.E. HQ?" Beast Boy said in confusion.
"Yeah, she did, Right before she fled town. It was in the news and everythin', she didn't want to get caught," Cyborg said
"You still talk to her?" Starfire asked, a small sweet smile on he face.
"Yeah, I'd tell you where she's staying, but bird boy over there might turn her in."
"I thought I told you before, you can't call me that anymore."
"Beast Boy?" Raven asked looking at the next picture.
"Yeah?"
"I believe you'd like to tell this one?"
Beast Boy grinned as he reached for the book. "Yup, one of my finest moments, I must say."
