Usagi's Notes: Hey! This fanfic is supposed to be a kind of alternate future, BB has turned on the Titans (for unknown reasons. but if you have a cool idea why, tell me in your review). In here, he's going to be a thief (a la Red X) cause he doesn't seem the murderous/supervillainous type. If he seems a OOC that's cause I wanted him to seem a cooler, maybe a little like his dark half (from The End pt.2). And about the owl having wings that flap silently, that's actually true for some owl breeds (just for a random fact). I hope that I do okay at it, and please read and review! Thank you!
Challenger: Girsfavoritetaco
Character(s): Beast Boy/Jinx (romance)
Challenge Details: Beast Boy has to be evil
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, it wouldn't be canceled.

A Midnight Exchange

A slight shadow on the side of a building. The tiniest swoosh of a footstep. That was all that was detectable of his movement. Changeling, the greatest thief in Jump City, was flying from rooftop to rooftop as a owl with muted wings. No one on the streets far below was aware of him. The Teen Titans would not catch him tonight. His plan would go perfectly, no slip of the tongue from an unfortunate citizen would alert the city's heroes this time. The new moon hanging in the sky cast him all the shadows he would need.

Three years without the Titans. Three years could really change a man. The Teen Titans had taken another hero, Kid Flash, into their ranks. Many events occurred, and left the green boy a different person. Jokes no longer passed his lips, after all of the unspeakable things he had seen. The dark side seduced him and took him away from his former friends. It almost made him laugh when he thought of the times when he was sure it would be Robin who crossed the line. But even now, the morphing anti-hero took himself deeper into the shadow. Changeling stopped on the roof of a particularly high apartment. A voice came out of the darkness nearby.

"Hey there, Beast Boy."
"I told you to not call me that." He replied, glaring at the shadows, "I'm not a goody-two-shoes anymore."
"Whatever you say."

A thin, pale girl with pink pigtails stepped out into the faint starlight. She had a hand on her hip and a smirk on her lips. She went over to the green-skinned thieve and the grin faded.

"You got the goods?" Jinx asked, extending a long hand towards him.

Changeling held up a small bag. He put it into Jinx's hand and her smile returned, wider this time. She opened it carefully and peered to the contents. It seemed to satisfy her so she put it in her pocket.

"You do good work, Changeling. I'm glad we have such a reliable business relationship." She said. The hexist began to back into the shadows.
"Is that all we have, Jinx?" He called out to her before she completely disappeared, "A business relationship?"

Pink eyes flashed with pain through the blackness of night. Jinx lowered her head to look at the ground. Changeling could see her bring a hand to her eye. To wipe away a tear? That didn't seem like her.

"I don't know." She said, barely above a whisper. She still hid herself in shade, "What else can you call us?"

"Something that's lasted two years. Unless you feel like ending it now."
"No."
"Then what?"
"I thought you swore you were evil. We can't afford to get tangled up in this stupid love stuff." Jinx laughed and approached Changeling with a melancholy smile.
"If I learned anything from being a hero, it's that no one can afford love." He said, grabbing one of her shoulders and squeezing it gently.
"Then why ever bother?" She asked, shrugging off his hand. She went into the shadows for real this time.

"Jinx..." Changeling called out desperately, reaching towards her.
"See you next week, BB." She said, her tone final.

She was gone faster then he could take a breath. He could get better payment for what he stole elsewhere, but now he knew why he kept coming back. Jinx was right, they could not love. It was dangerous and stupid. But the small spark of good left in him told him he would not survive without her. That if they could not be together, none of the stealing would fill the gap that would be left in him. He would see her next week, for the last time.

Changeling, traitor and thief extrodinaire, disappeared eight days later. They never found his body.

End Notes: Sorry, I felt angsty. I hope that didn't suck too much, I'm kinda better at the mushy stuff. Also, I know BB was wayyyyy out of character, but if you had a whole bunch of bad things happen to you, you'd be messed up too (again, I don't really know what happened to him, just something really bad). Besides, even Beast Boy is serious in angsty moments (remember Aftershock?)

Also, I have exams coming up in a couple weeks, and I really have to study. So only expect updates only every two or three days. Hopefully after next semester settles in, I'll be able to update daily Anyway, please review! Thank you so much for reading! (we have 1000 hits!)
