Hola hola, mis admiradores favoritos!

...That was probably completely incorrect Spanish, but oh well, i'm working at it. :-D

Sorry for the long wait between chaps. 5 and 6, I SWEAR I was gonna post this yesterday, but because of that handy-dandy system upgrade, I couldn't. Sorry.

But, if it makes you feel any better, one ofmy New Year's Resolutions is toupdate stories every 3 days at the latest.(...and ireally will try!)

So, this is my New Year's gift to you all. Hope you enjoy!

And,this chappie and following chappies is/are gonna be a littlemore darkish and stuff. I'm trying my best to keep them in-character, and to still keep things from falling through to the deepest pits of sadness and such, but for the sake of the story...you'll have to bear with me. I promiseI'll try to make itbe nice and fluffy and la la la in the end. But don't actualy hold me to that, because I'm still deciding where I want this story to go. (evil laugh) ;-D

Now, go read! And then review, because you all love me and I love you and we're all one big happy, fanfiction-reading family (minus the freakish, demonicpurple dinosaur reference).

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. So sue me.

...Well, actually don't sue me, because that would defeat the purpose of this disclaimer.

…You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending

-My Happy Ending, Avril Lavigne

Kid Flash

NO!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Please not now….please!

…But I can't stop it. For all of my powers, for all of my strengths, for all of the work that I've done and the trouble I've gone to in order to make Jinx rethink everything-her status as a villain, her 'hatred' of me-I can't stop this from happening. I can't save Jinx from the only thing other than her trust that I fight for. I can't save Jinx from the law.

"You're under arrest."

Jinx sees the callused hand pull her wrist behind her back. She snaps her head around, panicked and confused. I step to her side to watch what the police chief is doing, and in my shock, I can't act. I can't physically move my feet or my hands, I can only watch on in horror as she's forced into police custody.

"Kid Flash, help me!" she yells as she fights to break away from the chief, who is now being aided by the other officers who are fighting to keep Jinx down. I…still can't move…! C'mon, Kid, MOVE!

But it's a no-go. Jinx scrunches up her eyes in an attempt to curse them all 50 feet away from her, to escape. When nothing happens, she looks up in shock, her heart rate picking up. She throws her head over her shoulders and looks at the restraints she's been placed in.

I can't believe this. I really can't believe this. This night was going so well!

I gasp as I look too. They're no ordinary handcuffs-The police put Jinx in power inhibitors! I have to do something—anything… Again, Jinx begs for my help.

"Kid Flash, please!" she yells as she struggles more and more with the jerks who are handling her like an object. One of them comes up from behind her and throws his arms around her middle, holding her down as another orders her to be taken to the armored car they're using as prisoner transport.

As they haul her off backwards, Jinx keeps fighting her hardest against them. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" she screams, thrusting her head back into the face of her holder, breaking his nose and causing him to drop her. The others take this as their cue to advance on her. "Kid Flash, please, help me!"

"Jinx…!" I want to help her, pick her up and run a thousand miles away where there are no police, but these guys are in the same business as I am, and in a very indirect way, we work under the same oath. But I still can't move. My feet are glued to the ground, and it's the most paralyzing, awful thing I've ever felt. Why can't I move! I can't let them take her!

Kid—Flash—HELP HER!

As I try to will my feet to pick up and run to fight off the boys in blue, I see yet another one making his way towards her, carrying a syringe full of some dangerous-looking blue liquid. "Clear the way!" he yells as the cops step aside to let him through, although still keeping Jinx surrounded. That's it-my feet are free.

"NO! You won't hurt her!" I can't hear myself yelling as I run to Jinx's side and stand in front of her, forming a human shield between her and the law. I can feel her cowering behind me, clearly happy that I'm following through on my unspoken promise to be there for her, whenever she needs me.

"Step down, boys," comes the voice of the police chief. "This isn't necessary." The cops lower their guns, and both Jinx and I relax for a moment.

But only for that moment.

"We've already got her in power inhibitors, so there shouldn't be all this fuss," he says, unknowingly stabbing me in the back as he orders the police to take Jinx, decisively. She screams again, and I'm about to beat up the entire force when the chief calls me over.

"Kid Flash. That's enough." I stop in mid-action; although I work outside the law, I still have to respect some of its limits.

I've never known real hatred before, for anything. But now I feel it-hatred for my job, the police, every thing and every event that led up to this moment. It makes me wonder, why the hell did I start doing this in the first place?

"We have a warrant for her arrest put out by the Jump City P.D. She's wanted in 5 states," he tells me as Jinx groans, unable to free herself from the mammoth who's attacking her. I hate this! I…can't…do anything to stop them if the arrest is legal. Because then I'd be the one the cops were hunting down, and Jinx and I would have a lot on our plate with that.

"On what grounds?" I practically shout at the chief, who is looking on calmly as the man drags her backwards, flanked by the rest of the crew, overseeing her capture. It is taking every bit of self restraint (which I've never had much of in the first place) to not punch out this jerk, then force him to get up and hit him again.

"Armed robbery. Soliciting. Ownership of an illegal chinchilla farm."

"WHAT?"

Then, of all things, he chuckles. He's trying to make a joke, as I sit here in shock, Jinx's continued pleas for help falling on my temporarily deaf ears. "I was kidding."

"Don't JOKE!" I yell. "She hasn't done anything!"

"What did I just tell you, son? Well…except for the chinchilla farm…this girl's a criminal, and it's my job to take 'er in."

"And it's my job to see that the citizens are safe from injustice!" I scream at him. "That includes her!"

He doesn't seem to care, though. I've worked with this guy before. He knows why I do what I do, and he knows that nothing matters to me as much as the safety of others.

…But we haven't talked since I met Jinx. Things have changed. Now…as selfish as this sounds…the safety of civilians isn't as important, as sacred to me, as she is.

From what I can tell…he thinks that I'm yelling for show. He thinks that I tricked Jinx into believing we were allies only so that I could turn her in, in the end.

It's only confirmed when he pats me on the shoulder and says, "Well done, son. Thanks for distracting her while we put 'er into custody. Couldn't have done it without 'ya."

No. Please, Jinx, please don't have heard—

She heard.

Jinx stops her screaming and struggling, falling somewhat limp as that gorilla tries to push her into the back of the truck. Instead, she's staring at me, mouth open and her eyes wide. Her eyes are telling it all. Staring back at me is a combination of sadness, betrayal, disgust, shock, fury, and heartbreak.

As her eyes begin to fill up with angry tears, she begins shouting again. Not in resistance to the police, but in anger.

"HOW COULD YOU!" she rages as she is hoisted backwards into an armored delivery cell just like the one that carted the robbers away a few minutes ago. I walk a few steps towards her, reaching out my hand, wishing I could take her shoulders and talk her out of her anger. But there's no hope for that. Everything is falling apart around me. Cue sad music…

"Jinx—I didn't—I—"

But she won't listen to me.

"I TRUSTED YOU! I helped you out! You wanted me to come here, so I did, I helped you, and you BETRAYED ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT, Kid Flash, but you're just the same as everybody else! You-you-"

She stops thrashing around completely now, and, defeated, allows herself to be chained to the wall. It's the worst sight I've ever laid eyes on, Jinx being restrained like an animal. I never wanted this, for her to be so angry, to see her being treated like a threat to society! But I can't do anything, and it's making me more upset and angry than I've ever felt in my life. I want to bring over Raven from Jump City and have her banish them all to hell to live with her demonic dad.

…It's okay if that sounded harsh. I'm allowed to be this angry when the girl I love is about to be carted away to prison, thinking I betrayed her, and will probably never talk to me again, if I can't do find a way to end this craziness and get her free.

I speed up to the containment cell, ready to crawl in and try to talk to her, ignoring the calls of the police chief, who is trying to bring me back over. I have never pleaded with anyone in my life. I've never begged for forgiveness before. Especially for something I didn't do.

"Jinx…please…"

"I hate you," she tells me in a deadly whisper. And from the sad, betrayed look in her glistening, angry eyes, she means it.

Oh, wow. Jinx really does hate me.

It hits me like a brick wall that you run into at superspeed. I can't move, again. I've lost all feeling in my body; even my heart seems to have stopped beating. I can only stare at her helplessly as she shakes her head at me in disgust. Finally, after what seems like forever, the guards close the doors as I'm left with one last image of Jinx's face, hatred etched into every line, and her eyes drowning in tears.

"It's all business, son," the chief tells me, sounding genuinely concerned, and rather befuddled as to why I care so much for a villain, as he watches them pack her away.

"She didn't do anything wrong," I say quietly, looking up at Jinx through the small, plexi-glass window in the back of the truck. "All those crimes…she's paid for them already, in Jump City."

"If she had, she would've been free to go," he tells me defensively.

"No, she wouldn't have," I tell him, still quietly. "You'll never trust her."

"She hasn't given me any reason to," he shoots back, getting annoyed.

"That's because you've never given anyone a second chance."

He seems kind of shocked at my words, but doesn't say anything. Instead, he walks to his car and hops inside, leading the caravan back to the S.C.P.D., where they'll keep Jinx until she can be transported to a high-security prison, or wherever the hell they're taking her.

Then the car takes off, leaving me standing the middle of the road, staring after the shrinking vehicle that's hauling my girl off to jail.

I can't remember the last time I cried. But I know that it didn't feel this…terrible. "The bigger you are, the harder you fall," they say. In some way, this can be applied here. I was so in love with Jinx…that she hates me now, and for something I didn't do, no less…I think I may have fallen hard enough to drill me straight through to the Earth's core.

And it hurts. Like no level-4 containment center ever hurt before.

Jinx

No.

No. This isn't happening. This can't be happening. Kid Flash…he was so good to me…he wouldn't…

But I can't escape it anymore. I can't hide from the truth. He did.

And I'm paying for being good.

I told you, Kid Flash! I think to myself bitterly. I once told him, "I'm bad luck. Being good was never an option for me."

This proves it, exactly. This is exactly what I was afraid would happen! But it's worse. It's actually worse than what I was worried about.

My powers bring bad luck. I tried to turn good, Kid Flash tried to hel—no, he didn't. He betrayed you, didn't he, Jinx? I didn't think that I was so fullof bad luck that I was a jinx onto myself.

Bottom line, I tried to be good, I was arrested.

This is why I didn't want to try. I didn't believe that I could be good. But Kid Flash...he seemed like he thought I could, and I let him in. I trusted him.

I never trust anyone, not even my own teammates! And then the one person I do trust betrays me!

…Why, Jinx? Why the hell did you have to fall for some do-gooder? There was never any question about his allegiance. He is a good guy, through and through. That should have been enough to make me back off. And it did for a while! But he really seemed to think that I could do it…that I could turn to his side….

I never should have trusted him. I don't think I'll ever be able to trust anyone again. How could you, Kid Flash!

You lied to me, made me fall for you, betrayed me, and turned me to the police!

Why didn't you see this coming, Jinx? Don't you know anything? You can NEVER trust the good guy!

I hate this. I hate being chained up, having my powers neutralized by some inhibitor. I hate him. I hate Kid Flash. And I hate that I was stupid enough to let him do this to me.

"And you call yourself a villain. Pathetic." Madame Rouge's words keep flashing through my head. Her voice is in my ears, and I can't help but let myself cry a little. Not about Kid Flash, though. Never about him. But because Madame Rouge was right.

I'm all alone in here, in cold, solitary confinement as we speed through the city. I have no team-they thought I was a traitor and came after me, trying to finish me off for trying to go in a new, more heroic direction. I have no Kid Flash to make it all better. He was lying, good-for-nothing scum anyway. I have nothing. I am worth nothing.

We hit a pothole, and I kind of jump in my seat, flying up for a moment as far as these chains will let me move. It reminds me of when he sat down on the couch and I went up in the air and he caught me—

No, Jinx. Don't remember that. He wasn't cute. He was sneaky. I never even should have let him talk to me, let alone speed into my life completely unannounced. That was my biggest mistake.

We seem to have arrived at the prison, because we've stopped, and I can hear all the noise those jerks are making as they undo the latches on the outside of the door. The tears start to flow more freely now.

I'll have to come up with some escape plan soon. That's it, that's what I'll do. Let them think that I'm submissive, let them think I'll cooperate…then when they least expect it, BOOM! I'm outta here, and I'll go where no one, not even the Fastest Boy Alive, can find me.

They open the door, and two of the cops enter, telling me that they "don't want to use force" and to "come quietly, for your sake".

Whatever, I'll get away from this eventually. And they, nor Kid Flash, will be able to stop me.

As they unlock the chains that are holding me close to the wall, I think back to when I first met Kid Flash. And the things we've done since.

And now I realize…my biggest mistake wasn't letting him enter my life, it was not turning him over to Madame Rouge and letting her take care of the Kid Flashproblem when I had the chance.

Kid Flash

I still can't move. My feet are, like, super-glued to the spot. Jinx is gone. She hates me, and she's gone. She is in the hands of the law, who will find reasons to punish her even for swearing in a public place.

I've seen it before; they're ruthless. They don't catch a lot of metahuman villains (which is why there are guys like me on the job), so on the rare occasion that they do, they'll put the detainees through hell in hopes of scaring the other supervillains into ending their evil ways.

I can't let Jinx be put through that. I'll find a way to get her out of there, and legally.

The big scary question is, how?

When I realize that civilians like HouseQat arestopping their cars in the middle of the street to stare at me (it's not every day that the fastest boy alive is caught in a stupor in the middle of a busy street), I force myself to try to move. When I can't, I picture Jinx, cold, alone and crying in a maximum-security prison cell. There is nothing like tragedy to push yourself into action.

I start running—but where? I'll need a plan-and a helluva good one, if I'm going to pull a Prince Charming and rescue Jinx from her tow—er, prison cell.

And it's now that I realize, that out of any thing I may have done in the past—any battles I've fought, girls I've rescued, robbers I've detained—getting Jinx out of prison, and then winning her trust back, is going to be the hardest thing I may ever have to do.

…I'd really rather be locked in the same room with Batman for an hour instead of doing this. Believe me, it's a lot scarier than it sounds.

First reviewer to guess correctly!

Well. Not sure if all of you saw it coming, but I know that some of the psychics mixed amongst my beloved reviewers did.Oh, gasp! How will Kid Flash manage to get him and Jinx outta this one? And to make it more complicated, how can he do it legally? Hell, is that even possible? Guess you're just going to have to review and find out!

Haha. lol.

I hope y'all (hehe...I said "y'all"...) are writing to Cartoon Network to Save Season Six of the Teen Titans! I will be very sad if you aren't...I may even hold chapter 7 ransom until I believe that you all are...

HAHA! I bet I got you right then. I wouldn't be that evil. Lol. I promise. but please, write to save season six! Just because it will make me happy. :-D and because you all love Teen Titans just as much as I do, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this story. ;-D

So with all that in mind, please hit the handy little button at the bottom of this window and review! C'mon, we're just 3 reviews short of 100! It would be, like, the highlight of my life. 'cause i have no life. lol. and sorry if this chapter isn't as funny or fluffy or whatever as i know some of you were hoping for...but, what kind ofa story would it be if I didn't throw in a little crisis? lol. on to respond to my lovely reviewers!

Lily23: Thanks for your review, and for agreeing to write! I won't cry if we all manage to save season 6...which, if we do, i promise to write many more Kid Flash/Jinx fics in celebration! (Which I may actually do even if we don't manage to save it...oh well, guess we'll just have to wait and see)

Maffeoel- I'm glad you like it, and thanks, i will definitely look into a beta for future fics. I actually have one for this fic, one of my good (non-fanfic writing, sadly) friends named Shelley. Snaps for Shelley! But because a lot of the errors occured after I uploaded chp. 5, and because Shelley's comp broke down and she couldn't fix it in time for it to be frozen, I kind of had to free-for-all it.

pinkprincess-cliffie resolved. Well, at least that one's resolved, anyway. Now we've got anohter one-how will Kid Flash bust outta this mess? keep reading to find out! and thanks for the review!

Meiriona-lol. Jinx has a fangirl! who is now probably going to be stuck in the same prison as Jinx, but we probably won't be hearing more from her...unless i desperately need some comic relief. lol. if you want her back, just say the word, and ill try my best! lol.

shadow929-lol, its perfectly fine to laugh insanely every now and then! I do it all the time. my family's just gotten used to it, and because they love me, they've moved on past the phase where they wanted to have me committed. As a very wise person (who has remained anonymous to me)once said, "I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!" OOH, and thanks for the bunny, i love him! i even named him Alfalfa (kudos to whoever can guess what movie I am making a reference to with that name...big hint...the movie he's in is also about his friend Spanky and 'girlfriend' Darla...)

HouseQat-I told you that you were included in the chapter, in a small way, but I did so nonetheless. Sorry if it wasn't as big or spectacular as you were hoping for, lol. and thanks for the review! (and sorry to maffeoel, who also indirectly mentioned the police as the possible people who were worrying KF, but HouseQat was the first to officially guess them).

Silver Miracles-lol, i know this was brutal, but I made a resolution to be better about updating more often, remember? So hopefully next time I won't leave you to guess frantically for as long. and thx!

NemesisMuse-uhh, I guess I'll just take this as a compliment, lol. and ill have much more luck with my petition if you write too...(hint, hint? lol)

acosta pérez josé ramiro-oooh, thanks! i think that may be the first compliment Ive gotten on the first-person pov (unless i forgot some, so then sorry to anyone who did mention that)...and sorry if i totally botched up the writing ofmy little spanish greeting atmy notesbefore the story, lol. thanks so much for the review!

pureangel86-well, i can confidently say that it's not madame rouge, lol.

Valda-lol, thanks! luv u 2! (not in a creepy stalkerish way lol). hope you got your snow, Lord knows that my sucky little area of the world doesn't actually get any traces of real weather..the most we get is rain. :-(

.x.Phoenix.x. -that's when you know the true sign of a great reviewer and reader, when they take time from hanging out with friends to review a story. I love you! YOu are so cool! (again, not in the stalkerish way, lol). hehe...i feel so cool now that i know what 'kawaii' means...;-D

DemonDaughter-thank you so very very much for your efforts and your review! everyone, do what DemonDaughter is doing-save season six! lol

thermopolis-so glad you're enjoying it! And thanks for the kind words which you say don't quite describe how you like my story, that made me feel all fuzzy inside :-D and, sorry to disappoint, but it wasn't madame rouge. lol.

DarkNightDream-yuppies! well done, good guessing! glad you like it!

Rose Red2.0-lol, not quite the apocalypse. that will only come at the end of Infinite Crisis, which is an EXPLOSIVE event currently taking place in the DCU (who also own Teen Titans), ends. You should all be reading it! Itis mind-blowing! But, I must say, I will be greatly disappointed if they do anything to the Flash...which I heard they might...not to ruin any surprises, i dont know it all myself, this is just what im assuming from the rumors. go read it! lol. thanks and i will keep the song in mind...ive kinda got the lyrics for the rest of the chappies mostly picked out, but ill think about it. thanks for the review!

Queen Fire Faerie-im really super glad that you like it. :-D

Flying Green Flamingo-yes, they actually do. :-D see, isn't it nice to be nice to other people? its one undending chain of happiness! lol. and im very happy that you're still enjoying the story.

DarkSoulEmpress-lol, dear God, yes! ...God can be cruel, eh? lol, jk. God had no part in the writing of this story, because otherwise it would be themost INCREDIBLE, AWE-INSPIRING, PERFECT, HEAVENLY story you'd ever have read. divine intervention will do that for ya. lol. and about the bb-rae v. bb-terra argument--im torn! i have no idea! Ive never actually read any stories supporting either ship, so in the meantime, im neutral. im really more of a starrob, or kidflash/jinx reader. for now, at least. :-D

robstarforeva21-lol, hope this chappie answered all your q's. thanks for the review!

DiamondLil829-lol, wow, i dont think ive ever heard (or read) anyone saying that they actually liked a cliffie, unless they were the author of it who enjoys making the characters squirm (like me, lol)! Glad you liked it! and thanks about the songfic thing...its kind of hard to choose songs sometimes, othertimes they just fit perfectly. just for the record, for this chapter, the parts ofthe song that talk about the "dumb friends" are, in my twisted eyes, a reference to the rest of the super-hero community (who all have this thing about disliking villains, lol.)

Blackbird-sorry, not Madame Rouge. it would be a very interesting plot turn, though, huh?

Itsy-Evil-Spiders-lol, being stupid is really one of the only reasons there are such things as cliffhangers. oh, that, and they add drama and suspense. and about the writing thing...well done! you and me togetha, sista! togetha we will hold the writers and creative team at gunpoint until they produce more eps for our little obsessed minds! lol, that may be a little extreme, but desperate times call for desperate measures. lol, jk.

EE's Skysong-Really? AWWWWWW! THANK YOU SO MUCH! that is the biggest compliment i think you could have given me. lol. :-D thanks sooo much for your review!

...now get on and review!

and Happy New Year to all of you and your families!

Always,

Cara, the most insanely caffeinated, review-obsessed SuperDuperHulaHooper you'll ever meet :-D
