Ok…….first off, thanks to those who reviewed! Yeah for you! Second off, I owe you all my deepest apologies. I thought I added the bit about her powers, but on reading back, I didn't. I couldn't believe myself when I found that out! I said a few choice words to myself and am now allowing you to say them too me. Since I had planned on telling them after the fight with Overload, but was stupid and forgot to add that conversation (I have this thing where i tend to read what i think should be there instead of what may actually be there...sorry), I'll tell you here:
Leia mostly controls water, but has a bit of control over air, hence the swings moving of their own accord, she mostly uses that to effect the temperature of the water though, making it cold and freeze or boiling hot. As a kid, however, it was easier for her to make ice so they initially thought that what her power was and when ever she played super-hero, as we now know with her sister, she used the name Ice. Over the years, though, she started to work on her powers and that was when they discovered that it was actually water with a bit of air. She is still working developing on the air power. The meaning of Winter will come in later, and it plays on the screwed up weather we're having in Ohio right now.
Ok….now that that's explained…..I really am sorry about that….on with the story….any body know who the sister is? Hehe…..I'm still a little proud of that (though I'm not sure why….)
Oh, and the Oil City thing...I swear that I didn't make that up. I read it on some site about the Comic Book. There's also a Key City, but I liked Oil City because I pitcure it in Texas and I wanted there to be a Titan's South. So, yeah...there's really no logical explination for it, but-eh.
As always, I don't own the Teen Titans. Tear. Enjoy.
"This is Terra?" he asked.
"Well, what she looked like the summer before she left." her father explained.
"I need to check something." he said, then turned to leave.
"Beat Boy?" Leia asked catching up to him.
"I need to see something." he said again.
"Do you know where she is?"
"I thought I did once, but it wasn't her. I don't want to get your hopes up for nothing again." he said.
"Then can I go with you?" she asked.
"Do you really want to? I just told you I knew where your sister was and it wasn't even her!" he said, "You have to be going on an emotional roller coaster right now! I don't want to make it worse than I already have."
"I'm doing this because I want to. It isn't your fault. This Terra fit's the profile, she left home found help in a bad guy, then tried to redeem herself. It all fits. I just hope that where ever her family is they either already have closure, will get it or don't need it."
Beast Boy assented to her request. Her parents followed them out of the cave that Terra was in and then they headed home to recover from their emotions. They thanked Beast Boy for his attempt to help. Leia then followed Beat Boy in silence for a while.
"Where we going?" she asked.
"The park." he simply said.
"The park?"
"Yes."
They walked in silence for a while longer. When they reached the main entrance to the park, Beast Boy turned to Leia. "I want to make sure that you're ready, because this might not be her." he said.
"Yes." she said.
They entered the park and Beast Boy pulled out his communicator.
"Beast Boy?" came Robin's voice.
"Where are you guys?"
"This usual spot. Are you Ok?"
"Yeah. Do you guys mind if Leia joins us?"
"Not at all. How's she?"
"She's holding up. Titans South here?" he asked.
"Got here about fifteen minutes ago. You sure you ok?"
"Fine. We'll be there in five minutes."
They walked a bit.
"What powers did Terra have?" Beast Boy asked Leia.
"She could cause bad luck." Leia said. Then more silence as Beast Boy thought of the little girl with pale skin, red, almost pink-ish hair and matching pink-ish eyes that he had seen in the picture.
Then, about five minutes later, they saw a bunch of people around a table and the figure of Cyborg next to a grill.
Beast Boy saw a look of recognition hit Leia's face. She looked at him. He turned next to the others and started to walk faster.
Leia did her best to follow Beast Boy and not run. She was glad he picked his pace up. When she got close enough to see the figure closely, she lost all control and ran. She stopped just short of the person who just stared at her.
"Leia?" Beast Boy heard Jinx ask.
"Terra?" Leia was heard asking.
"What are you doing in Jump City?"
"Looking for you." Tears were streaming down her face.
The two girls burst in sobs and grabbed each other in an embrace.
"Oh my g-d! You have no idea how much I missed you!" Leia said in between her sobs.
"Jinx?" Kid Flash asked.
"Kid, this is my sister, Leia." Jinx said, "Leia, this is-"
"Kid Flash. Her boyfriend." he said sticking out his hands.
"Nice to meet you." Leia said, taking his hand and shaking it.
"Friend Jinx is Leia's sister?" Starfire asked.
"Yep." Beast Boy said.
"But I thought it was Terra." Cyborg asked, walking over from the grill as Raven walked over from her tree.
"Wrong Terra." Beast Boy said, a smile on his face.
"How could you tell?" Raven asked.
"They each have a heart shaped scar on their arms. Obviously, Terra didn't." Hearing this, Leia lifted her sleeve and Jinx lowered the shoulder of her shirt and revealed the scars for all to see.
"Oh! Mom and Dad are gonna be so happy when they see you!" Leia said.
"They're here too?" Jinx asked.
"Of course! Come on! I'll take you!"
Jinx turned to all the other Titans, "Do you guys mind?"
"Not at all." Beast Boy said.
"May I come? I'd love to meet your parents." Kid Flash asked Jinx.
"Yeah!" Leia said, "Beast Boy's coming too! Aren't you?" she asked him.
"I don't want to intrude." Beast Boy said.
"Nonsense! They'll wanna thank you!" she said grabbing his hand and pulling him with her. The four walked off. The other Titans just smiled at what had just happened.
Half an Hour later, they were on Leia's block. Jinx looked a little worried. Leia was all smiles and this made Beast Boy all smiles.
"Come on!" they heard Leia say, "You three are being slow pokes!"
Jinx smiled a small smile, "You don't think they'll be mad do you?"
"Not at all! They miss you as much as I do!"
They were now in front of Leia's house. She bounded up the steps to the porch and in the house. The others followed, though at a slightly slower pace. Leia was calling her parents to the living room, saying that she had a surprise for them. They came in looking a little teary, then froze in their tracks.
"Terra!" they cried happily and ran to embrace their older daughter.
"Oh, my! How are you? How have you been? We were so worried! We've been looking for so long! How did you-? When did you-?" was the mix of happy phrases that next escaped her parents.
"Leia?" her father eventually asked, "How did you find her?"
"Beast Boy took me to her." Leia said, unconsciously grabbing Beast Boy's hand. The latter blushed, but did not pull away.
"Thank you." Her father said, breaking away from hugging his daughter to shake his hand.
"Yes, Beast Boy." her mother said, "We owe you so much!"
"It was nothing. I'm glad I was able to help, especially after the mix up I caused earlier."
"Mix up?" Jinx asked. Leia explained the event of earlier that day. "Well I can see the confusion. Especially since he has always known me as Jinx."
"What did happen?" Leia asked Jinx.
"Well, as you know, I left to find someone to help me control my powers. I found that in the H.I.V.E. Academy. What I didn't learn was that the H.I.V.E. hired out their graduates to villains, or anybody else willing to pay, until it was too late." Jinx went on to explain that by the time she did find out, she thought that it didn't matter, as the people at H.I.V.E. accepted her for who she was and where her friends and family then. Then Brother Blood came and he put them under a trance. This had had begun to make Jinx think that maybe her life wasn't all she cracked it up to be, but shoved the thought aside when Gizmo and Mammoth stuck by her and they occasionally were joined by others. Then the Brotherhood Of Evil came and Jinx only looked to them because it was what she, as a villain, should aspire to be. Then Kid Flash came along and opened her eyes. She learned that she didn't have to be a villain because only villains cared about her that other people cared too.
It was at this point that she introduced Kid Flash to her parents.
"Mom, Dad, this is Kid Flash. The one who saved me." she said.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." he said.
"Same here." her parents said. Jinx then finished her story.
"After I left the Brotherhood of Evil, I sought Kid Flash out. He helped me work past my criminal habits and together we formed Titans South out of Oil City. We're here in Jump City visiting Titans West."
Later that evening, Beast Boy and Kid Flash headed back to the Tower, Jinx had elected to stay at her parents house and catch up a bit more.
"That was nice." Kid Flash had said.
"Yeah." said Beast Boy.
"So you like her, huh?"
"What?"
"You like Leia, don't you."
"Yeah." Beast Boy admitted, "A lot."
"Well, at least you know that you have her parents good will." Kid Flash said.
"Huh?" a confused Beast Boy asked.
"You found their daughter. They definitely like you."
"Oh."
"What's wrong?"
"I dunno. I guess I'm afraid that they're gonna leave."
"What? Why?"
"Well, they could either follow you guys to Oil City, or they could take Leia and Jinx both back to Ohio."
"Oh. That sucks. They can't do that, can they?"
"I don't know. I mean, if they what to, what's stopping them?"
The boys spent the rest of the trip walking in silence.
The next morning Jinx and Leia walked in the Main Room of Titans Tower.
"Wow! This place is huge!" Leia said.
"Yeah. It's pretty nice." Jinx said, remembering, as she always did when she visited Titans West, when she had been hired by Slade to destroy them. She blushed a bit at this.
They took the elevator to the Main room. As soon as they walked in, Kid Flash was upon Jinx. Leia left to two love birds to themselves as she walked down the stairs. There she was greeted by Starfire, Robin and Cyborg.
"Morning!" she said. They each greeted her. She looked around. She saw Raven in the corner, meditating, then she saw three people she didn't know. These three introduced themselves as Wonder Girl, and . She looked around some more. "Where's Beast Boy?" she asked.
"He's still in his room." Robin said, "He's a little down."
"Why?" she asked.
"He thinks you are going to leave." Starfire said.
"He does? Where'd he get that idea?"
"There's a reason Beast Boy doesn't think a lot. It gets him in trouble like this."
"Where's his room?" she asked. Robin told her where it was and she headed out of the Main room into the halls behind it.
She eventually found his room and knocked.
"I told you guys, I don't want breakfast and I don't want to play video games!" she heard him yell.
"It's a good thing I didn't come for either of those then, huh?" she asked loud enough to be heard from behind the steel door bearing his name.
The door opened and she saw him. He looked as though he had been crying.
"Hey." he said.
"Hey." she said.
"Wanna come in?"
"Sure." she followed him in, the door sliding closed behind her. "You Ok?" she asked.
"I'll be fine." he said.
He told her that he'd be fine. Which was true. Eventually, he would be fine. It might take a while, but he would be.
She looked at him concernedly. He put on the best smile he could, unfortunately, that wasn't very good at the moment.
"I'm not leaving." she said.
"What?" he asked, his spirits immediately lifting.
"I'm not leaving. My parents and I talked it over this morning. They're gonna let me try-out to be a Titan. If I make it, they're going back to Ohio and I just have to visit them at Christmas, Easter and one other holiday of my choice. If I don't make it, they'll stay here."
"Really?" he asked.
"Yep." she said, smiling.
"That's great!" he said. He was so happy that he lost himself and threw his arms around her in a big hug and kissed her. He immediately pulled away when he realized what he did and they both blushed. But then they both snapped out of shock and pulled in for another kiss. He snaked his arms around her and pulled her in tighter and her hands found their way to his cheek and hair. He licked her lower lip lightly, in a silent plea for entrance. She opened her mouth and his tongue entered. Their tongues danced for a while then she let him take control. His tongue explored every crevice in her mouth hungrily, as though afraid he may never get the chance again. When the need for air over rode their need for each other, they parted.
"Wow." was all she could say.
"Yeah." he said.
