Ok...I have an important message..
Dear God, did everyone think that I meant 50 reviews for this chapter alone? NO NO NO! I meant, all together! Like, for the entire story! Oh God, I am cruel, just making you all think that's what I wanted. No! I had about 35 reviews before chp. 3, and I only wanted another 15 reviews to round it all up to 50 after it! There's no way in hell I'd be that mean. I promise!
Anyway, sorry for all the confusion, and sorry to everyone who thought that i was a psychopath! I was confused at first, because everyone was like, "50 reviews...thats just not cool..." and i was like, "huh? thats only 15 more reviews" but then I had an epiphany, and i guess that you all thought that i was going to put this on hold until i hit 50 for this chappie alone. Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Now...onto the story!
And, btw, I don't own Teen Titans. I think I'm finally coming to terms with that. Because, if I did own TT, this story would be an episode that you'd all be watching, rather than a fanfiction that you're all reading. sigh.
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
Who's in the middle of something
That she doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a girl
and maybe you're the only man who could ever help me
Baby won't you help me understand…
-Maybe I'm Amazed, Jem

……………………………………Wow.
Kid Flash
Ok, I know I'm excellent, but I think I really knocked out Jinx with my awesomeness/unpredictability/romantic…ness.
I'm still tugging her hand, and we just crossed the street and disappeared into the shadows of Lightning Lane, and she's just following me. Doesn't say anything, doesn't make any noise, nothing blows up, she's just following me. Willingly.
Oh, wow. That's a first. With her, anyway. I mean, seriously. She's not protesting in any way. Jinx is just sitting there, holding onto my hand, doing what I ask, not tell her to do.
…Geez. I wish all girls were as easy to calm down as Jinx is. All it took was a kiss. Works for me…
Anyway. We're in Lightning Lane; or, to be more specific, we are directly outside the Dead Doorknob (honestly, criminals and the names they choose for everything…), a shady bar where a lot of deals involving drugs and other illegal imports are made. Tonight, a drug dealer known as Mr. Mann (…great name) is expecting a shipment of marijuana that I'm going to make sure never arrives for distribution. The other players: Mann's henchmen/bodyguards/stupid drones, and the importer, Doug Lewis, a.k.a. Kingpin. Don't ask me how he came up with that name, I'll never understand how a criminal's mind works.
But, I understand Jinx, so that means that she can't be a criminal. See? I can mathematically prove that she isn't a villain. By the transitive property, if Kid Flash can't understand the mind of a villain,but Kid Flash understands Jinx, then Jinx is not a villain. Or something like that. I was never one for math. Math is pointless, if you ask me. I think that all you need in life is a girl like Jinx and a good pair of Nikes.
This is where I really tell Jinx the plan. I was going to tell her earlier, but you know what...ahem...happened…and to be honest, I hope that she decides to try to run off again, just so I can hone my persuasion techniques…
If Jinx knew that I was thinking that, she would've smacked me upside the head.
I turn to face her, still holding her hand, and whisper, "Ok, Jinx. There are 2 drug lords and all their henchmen inside this building. All in all, that probably adds up to about 30 guys with guns. I could use some help taking them out. Will you help me?"
She's still quiet, and she just kind of nods blankly. I smile-I must really be an incredible kisser, for her to be so dazed.
"Ok then. I'm going to go in. Count to 10, then come in. I'll probably have disarmed everyone by then. Is that ok with you?"
She nods again. I only hope she's a little more alert when she's dodging bullets and beating up the baddies.
"I'm going in now. Remember, count to 10, then go in. Clear."
And I zip into the building, and start taking out some of the henchmen, one by one.
Jinx
…………
….
……Wow. Kid Flash kissed me! And I...kinda...sorta...really...liked it! Madame Rouge will have my head on a silver platter if she ever finds out about this..
Oh, yeah. That's right. I don't like Madame Rouge anymore. Not after what she did to me, and to Kid Flash. Or…even worse…what I did to Kid Flash just to impress her…and he just comes back and kisses me.
Someone upstairs must like me.
I can't believe that I'm falling for a superher—Wait, what? I just heard gunshots. A lot of them. Where am I…?
Oh, no! What have I been doing these past 10 minutes?
Oh! I vaguely remember Kid Flash grabbing my hand and dragging me across the street, and telling me that I was going to help him catch some criminals—oh, no. I just remembered. Oh, no, he didn't!
I listen to where the gunshots are coming from, and I realize that all the action is happening just through the door I'm standing outside of. So I take a few steps inside, and see Kid Flash's shadow darting around all over the place, and some random guy with a gun falling down and disappearing into the frenzy every few minutes.
Someone sees me, and aims their gun at me, and starts shooting. His aim is really bad, though, so all the bullets miss me.Screw him, I'm angry now. Kid Flash, as soon as I take out this idiot, you're toast!
I send a wave of pink energy at the gunman who's trying to get a clear shot at me, and his AK-47 inconveniently snaps in half when it hits the floor, due to his accidentally tripping over another henchman, taking them both out. Two down, twenty to go.
I continuetrying to find him in the crowd. "HEY! Kid Flash!"
Kid Flash
Oh, great-Jinx is yelling at me from the entrance of the pub. And it's only been 3 seconds! Uh oh-better move.
"Hey, Kid Flash, I'm talking to you!" I can't really answer, as I'm sort of tied up at the moment, but she doesn't care that I'm in the middle of dismantling some random guy's gun.
"You were-supposed to-count to ten!" I yell back, hoping she can hear me through all the chaos.
And, just my luck, because I stood still even for a second, another guy grabs me from behind and puts me in a headlock. Another few guyslatch onto my arms, and as soon as they have me secured, another one aims his gun at me and his finger tenses on the trigger. I was having such a good night, too. Having my brains blown out could make it a little difficult for me to catch all these baddies.
But before the guy actually pulls the trigger, Jinx just yells to the guys who're holding onto me, "Hey, wait your turn!" and she blasts them all with a big beam of pink energy that makes me sure that they will be plagued with bad luck for a month. The guy's gun drops to the floor and instantly melts into a large, sizzling puddle of hot metal, and all of the guys who were involved in my attempted murder get their feet stuck in it. Way to go, Jinx! I knew you had it in you!
And then, just to make her point, Jinx's eyes glow pink and the metal dries, leaving all of them trapped.
As soon as I'm free, I start running around again, disposing of half the guns in the joint.The situationwas pretty bad before, but now it's terrible. There are so many crime bosses and henchman running around, I'm surprised that I can even move. Everyone is packed in together, because this place is so small, and people keep grabbing for me left and right, but I don't stop running, for fear that I'll get caught again and Jinx will have to bail me out. That could seriouslydamage my street cred.
At the bar, I can see Mann trying to escape the chaos.
"Jinx—it's the boss-he's getting away!" I yell as I artfully avoid another jerk by sidestepping him at the last second, letting him run into some other underpaid idiot who was trying to tackle me from behind. With them both out, I steal a quick glance at Jinx, who is glaring at me and—woah.
Jinx is just forcing her way through the crowd, taking out everyone who tries to get a shot on her. No, seriously…she's like…I dunno, parting the Red Sea or something. And she's doing all this while she's still shouting at me.
"Kid Flash!"
"Yes, dear?" I return, allowing Kingpin to trip over my outstretched leg and topple to the floor. Everyone else is occupied with Jinx, so no one notices that the big dealer is down.
"What did you do to me?" she asks me. She looks really angry, and her eyes haven't stopped glowing. That's not a good sign. As she puts emphasis on the word "do," 2 or 3 guys fall victim to the rather unfortunate crashing down of the animal head displays onto their unsuspecting skulls.
"I didn't-do-anything!" I say. My sentences are all broken up because now I'm bouncing up and down on Kingpin's belly like a trampoline. He's very fat, so it shouldn't hurt him that much. Plus, he called my costume 'geeky'. I just couldn't have that. "And why-aren't you-going after-Mann?"
"Don't tell me what to do!" Jinx elbows another gunman in the face, then spin-kicks another two, who fall down in one big heap. "I'm the one who's doing all the work here!" She glares at me from across the room, her eyes still glowing, and an electrical cord that was lying tangled on the ground winds itself around another guy's leg and pulls him down, bringing another guy with him as they crash to the floor.
I gulp as I stoppoking fatso here. Something tells me that I won't be as lucky these guys, if she's as angry as she looks. Oh, c'mon Jinx, we were getting along so well 10 minutes ago…
To avoid any impending tragedy that will involve Jinx laughing cruelly over me as I fall into endless ruts of bad luck, I superspeed out the back of the bar, pick up the retreating Mann, run back and dump him on top of Kingpin. Mann passes out from the impact of hitting the floor, and Kingpin passes out because…he hasn't eaten for 12 hours. That's what he whines about before he blacks out, anyway. Pathetic. They just don't make criminals like they used to.
And, ok, now Jinx is officially scaring me. There are only 4 guys left standing after she's gone through them all, picking them off one by one. She…wow…Jinx just single-handedly beat up half a room full of bad guys in under 5 minutes. HA! I knew she could be the good guy! Pay up, Fate!
"Jinx!"
"What?" She spits at me. She's about 2 feet away from me now; the other guys ran for it.
"Look what you just did!" I'm still staring at her in disbelief. She really is incredible.
"What did I just do?" Pfft. As if she doesn't know.
"You just did a heroic thing."
She stops for a minute, looking confused. Then she glares again and says, "No I didn't."
Uh-uh, Jinx, there's no way you're getting off that easy. "Yes you did."
"No, I didn't," she says again, this time with more force, as if trying to convince herself that it wasn't true.
"Yes, you did," I say again, smiling. I'm about to break out into my victory dance again. I've been wanting to do the victory dance a lot tonight. That's always a good thing. "Yes, you did, and I bet you enjoyed helping me out, too!"
Jinx looks scandalized.
"No, I DIDN'T!"
Too late-I've got her cornered already.
I start hopping around in circles, dancing. "Jinx is a hero, Jinx is a hero," I sing, laughing. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have. Because about a second later, I tripped over my own shoe lace and fell to the ground. One guess who made that happen.
"Stop that!" she shouts at me, sounding cranky. "I am not a hero."
"Sure you weren't...SuperJinx."
She buries her face in her hands in exasperation. "Shut up already," she whines. I'm actually kind of surprised that she's taking my teasing her so well. Maybe it's because she doesn't want to ruin her chances of my kissing her again--
D'OH! Wow, that was SO STUPID OF ME! I actually said that last thought out loud! Ooh, Jinx is glaring at me now...and uh-oh..she's walking towards me and..she's...uh..
...Yup. Shoulda seen that coming. Jinx just slapped me. Hard. Again. And now she's drawing her hand back to do it again, but this time I'm ready. I get up and grab her arm, then hold it behind her back.
"Let me go!" But I ignore her instead and whisper laughingly into her ear, "Make me."
Her eyes glow pink, but just as she's about to hex me into the super-fast remains of Kid Flash, the alarm attached to the streaks of lightning on the side of my head go off, alerting me that there's a robbery in progress somewhere else in Star City. It doesn't matter where, exactly, because I can speed through the entire city in a few seconds and find it. SoI lift her arm up, let go of her hand, and the speed I do it with makes her spin around on her toes like a ballerina, or something.
"Oh---no--Kid---Flash---!" she tries to yell as she twirls, trying to stop.While she's still spinning, I scoop her up again, and, smiling, I race off to find the next band of criminals that I think Jinx will enjoy helping me to dispose of.
Ok, so, sorry again about the review-request confusion. I've decided that too many people will hate me if I demand reviews before promising an update again, so I've sworn it off. ...For now, at least. lol.
Anyway, there is more fluff/humor/romance/cuteness/embarassment/action/drama/adventure to come! Keep reviewing and I will do my best to turn out these chapters faster! Yaay!
