This is basically dealing with the period of time between "Lightspeed" and "Titans Together"

I own nothing but my overactive imagination and my own personal feelings. If I owned the Teen Titans, Raven and Beastboy would have been together for a LONG time now. Same goes with Robin and Starfire...and Jinx would never have been paired with Cyborg at all...yeah.

Enjoy!


A/N: The title stands for something, and if you figure out what, I'll give you a virtual cookie. Won't that be fun!


"We're gonna go rob the pizza place, you want to come?" it was SeeMore. Jinx sighed and shook her head "I'm not really in the mood." SeeMore glanced down at her. "Madame Rouge still bothering you?" Jinx jumped, he was a little too close to the mark. "Pretty much." SeeMore put his hands in his pockets and turned away "See you when we get back." Jinx just nodded. When she heard the front door slam, she closed her eyes. After about a minute, the silence got to her. Leaping up with a groan of annoyance, she grabbed a jacket and went outside.

Somehow, she ended up at the park. Seeing the little kids on the swings almost made her smile. As she continued walking deeper into the park, the vegetation got higher and the people got less frequent. Seeing a bench, she sat down on it. Soon she had her head in her hands, a tear rolled down her face and she didn't even notice to wipe it away.

She heard the leaves on the bush in front of her being blown by wind, but it was a still day. Her heart leapt in her throat and she looked up quickly. No one was there. Jinx looked back at her lap and shook her head at her stupidity. "It was just your imagination, you silly girl! You can't really think -" a red and yellow blur passed in and out of her peripheral vision, so fast she thought it was a trick of the light. But she stopped and looked up, silenced. Not caring if she looked like an idiot or if she was wrong, she said "I know you're there Kid Flash. Stop hiding." When there was no answer, her heart sunk back to her stomach.

Suddenly, Kid Flash was right in front of her. She jumped, cursing herself. He grinned at her, even as his heart leapt unexpectedly. He was shocked for a moment. He had no clue that seeing her again would do that to his stomach. Shaking it off he said "Where're your little cronies? Waiting so they can ambush me again?" Jinx rolled her eyes. "What would we do with you? In case you forgot, I let you go." He looked at the ground ad whispered "No, I didn't forget."

They both stood there uncomfortably and it dawned on Jinx that it felt like she was on some first date with someone and they had run out of things to say. Blushing at the thought, she shook her head. "Why did you follow me here, anyway?" Kid Flash laughed "Why would I be following you?" Jinx stood up. "Maybe you were going to try to convert me again." Kid Flash shook his head "No, I'm not that dumb." She glanced at him with a look that obviously said 'Yeah, you are.'

Kid Flash said "I wasn't following you; I merely saw were you were going and tagged along." She rolled her eyes. "So why did you do that?" His shoulders slumped. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but couldn't find words to say it. Biting his lip he said "I don't know." For some reason, that confession made her heart do weird little things in her stomach again. He looked at the ground, scrunching up his eyebrows. Why did I follow her? He shook his head free of the thought that popped up, passing it off as impossible.

"So if you don't know why you followed me, you're not going to convert me, and the Hive Five isn't going to jump you, why are you still here?" He looked up into her eyes, and as much as she willed herself to look away, her eyes wouldn't cooperate. "Do you want me to leave, Jinx?" he whispered it, so quiet she could hardly hear him. Just nod. She thought. Just nod and he'll leave me in peace. But her traitorous neck wouldn't listen to her head anymore. Her heart was in her throat, and it blocked out all the signals from her brain.

His head was pounding, blood drained from it. He watched her carefully, noting the turmoil in her eyes. If she says yes, I'll leave, and I won't bother her anymore. But I have to know. Slowly, she twisted her head from side to side.


I know it's not the longest, but I REALLY wanted to do something that doing in the first chapter would just have screwed up the story.
