Chapter Three: Caught in the Act.

Kid Flash groaned as he slid to the floor. He'd just been slammed against a wall by one of Gizmo's mechanical spider legs. He was loosing energy fast. Not a good thing.

Another of Gizmo's legs slashed at him. He rolled away quickly barely missing getting speared in the head.

Nearby Starfire was firing blast after blast at Kid Wykkyd ho simply teleported out of the way. The other Titans were all paired up with a HIVE member. Cyborg with Mammoth, Beast Boy with Billy Numerous, Robin with Seemore and Raven with Jinx.

They were fighting on a huge rooftop with one of those big neon signs in the middle. Definitely not a good place for a six-on-six fight. And on top of that it was storming.

"This'll teach ya to mess with us!" Gizmo growled raising a spider leg ready to stab the speedster.

But Kid Flash wasn't watching Gizmo. He was looking across the rooftop through the rain. Jinx was teetering on the edge of the roof her arms flapping wildly in the air.

With a last burst of speed Kid Flash zoomed over and grabbed her hand as she started to fall. She looked up at him evidently terrified

"Don't let go!" she yelled through the rain

"I won't." Flash yelled back.

Behind him the battle continued to rage. But finally the HIVE got tired of fighting. Gizmo cackled as he threw down a smoke bomb.

Robin dived into the gray mist trying to catch someone but only succeeded in colliding with Raven and Beast Boy on the other side

"Guys! Some help would be very appreciated over here!" Kid Flash yelled as his grip on Jinx's hand started to weaken.

Starfire flew over and picked the boy up without a thought. The sudden movement loosened the speedster's grip on Jinx's hand. The girl plummeted towards the street with a yell.

But there was no pain, no crash. Kid Flash had caught her and was running up the side of the building with her.

When they reached the top he collapsed having used the very last of his energy. Jinx lay on the wet cement a few inches away trying to stop crying. She sat up and her vision was filled with a mouthful of teeth. The young witch screamed and backed away from the green wolf that crouched and readied itself.

Kid Flash caught the girl's arm and glared at the wolf. Ignoring the Titans and throwing caution to the wind he pulled Jinx into a tight hug.

Beast Boy turned into a human from the shock. Several metal pipes were surrounded by a black mist then melted. Starfire, Cyborg and Robin all fell over (Anime style)

Kid Flash ignored them and held Jinx tightly against him. The sorceress trembled but finally stopped crying enough to speak

"We're in trouble." she whispered looking up at the young hero. She pulled away from him and stood shivering from the cold.

Robin recovered and started yelling "What are you doing! She's a villain!"

"So?" Flash asked putting a protective arm around Jinx's waist

"What is going on here?" Cyborg yelled finally coming to.

"Yes I am confused." Starfire chimed in.

Kid Flash glanced down at Jinx who shrugged. It wasn't like they had anything to hide anymore "Jinx… Jinx is my girlfriend."

"What!" the five Titans yelled in unison. This time everyone fell over while Jinx and Kid Flash sweatdropped.

"Didn't think they'd take it that bad." Flash muttered rubbing the back of his neck.

The five stood and Robin glowered at the two then turned to Raven

"Take Jinx to jail. Then come back to the Tower. I might need you to restrain me." he growled through clenched teeth.

Raven nodded and jerked her head. Black power started to wind around the pink haired witch but Jinx's eyes flashed and the magic was turned away

"Do not touch me." she hissed angrily "Now I'll give you two options. One, I come with you. Two, I run. I know this city like my own room. You'll never see me again."

Robin growled again and pinched the bridge of his nose "Fine."

(Yes this was very short compared to my other chapters and I apologize. Anyway… next time catch Yin and Yang! Toodles)
