Author's Notes: Two chapters in one day...because I don't know if I'll be able to update tomorrow. Monday, expect an update...as long as I don't forget (and this site will let me). I'll try to update daily...or something like that. I'd really appreciate criticism.

Disclaimer: I don't own "Teen Titans", okay? Okay.

It was midnight when the Hive Five returned to headquarters. Billy Numerous and See-More ran to the couch in the common room and picked up two game controllers. See-More grabbed the remote and turned on the television, and then the two were locked in a battle of virtual racing. Mammoth walked over to the fridge, opened it, and pulled out a pint of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. Grinning to himself, he plopped on the nearest chair and without even bothering to open the container, he chucked the whole pint of ice cream, carton and all, into his mouth. Kyd Wykkyd and Gizmo wandered over to their rooms and shut the doors. Kyd Wykkyd took off his cape and went to bed. Gizmo, however, looked around his room for a screwdriver. Before the attempted robbery, he had been working on a new pair of shoes that had about ten different useful weapons in them, each activated with the push of a button. He couldn't wait to see the look on Cyborg's face when he squirted oil from his shoe to the Titan's face.

"Ha," he thought to himself, picturing an extremely annoyed Cyborg wiping oil off his face. He found the screwdriver and exclaimed, "We'll see who gets the boot this time!"

Jinx had other plans. Well, she went to her room and shut the door, but instead of going to sleep, or picturing certain Titans covered in oil from a multi-functional boot, she pulled out her sketchbook. She placed the rose on her night table, and while sitting on her bed, she drew it in pencil. She sketched every petal, the delicateness of each leaf, and the long stem. She noticed that there were no thorns on the rose. Frowning slightly, she resumed her drawing. When she finished sketching the flower, she thought to herself for a moment and erased some of the stem and leaves. In their places, she sketched a glove holding the rose, looking as though it was about to present the flower to someone they loved very much. She smiled and put the sketchbook and pencil on her night table. She hurried to the kitchen, filled up a tall glass of water, and walked quickly back to her room. She placed the rose in the glass and gazed at it.

"Another one…" she thought to herself. "I hope this doesn't wilt as quickly as the other one." Drawing the roses Kid Flash gave her (the total should've been around seven about now) replaced her current interest in unicorns, which wasn't a total surprise to her. It was awfully sweet of him to do that.

"But convert from villainy?" Jinx thought to herself, lying down on her bed. "What a ridiculous idea. That boy is far too idealistic." The choice was given to her when she was little. She had heard of Wonder Woman and Madame Rouge, and well, being a cowgirl didn't seem all too appealing. Madame Rouge…now she was powerful. She was a villain, but all that respect she had was something anyone would want. Sure, she was a jerk, but that's just villainy attitude, isn't it? Jinx had considered fighting on the side of good, but once she fired her first hex at a classmate making fun of her pink hair, she decided being evil would be more fun, and more productive. "Superheroes," she thought, "fight to save a city, but of course they'll knock a few buildings over or something like that. People are happy that the city's safe, but then they feel some anger towards the heroes for messing up their town. Being a villain, there's nothing to clean up, as long as you made a quick escape. What does that guy think he'll accomplish, stopping our crimes and giving me roses? Ha! Like I'm the kind of girl to fall for roses!"

She smirked and looked at the rose. "Okay, maybe I'll fall for a rose every now and then, but it won't stop me from being who I am."

She suddenly realized how tired she was after letting out a yawn. She took the bands out of her hair and her necklace off, letting her hair down. Then she kicked off her platform shoes, sighing in relief. Those things were not as comfortable as she would've liked. She got into bed, which was still somewhat uncomfortable, even after she had tried repairing it after slicing it apart with a hex meant to hit a certain red-haired, blue-eyed speedster. She fell asleep a few minutes later.


Kid Flash smiled to himself as he thought the night over, lying down in his apartment bed in boxers and a solid white t-shirt. His mask stayed on. He recounted the night's events, which started with a call from the cops that the bank was being robbed. They said it was probably the Hive Five, and asked Kid Flash if he wanted to handle it by himself, or if he'd need back-up from the Teen Titans. He really didn't care either way, but he did want to get there first.

Messing with the Hive Five was always enjoyable for Kid Flash. Just seeing the looks on their faces was giving him enough laughs for a week. He almost didn't want to turn them in just because toying with them would be the highlight of the week. He also didn't want to turn them in because he didn't want to turn Jinx in with the group. He thought about Jinx more than usual recently.

"I wonder if she still has my rose. What does she do with those roses, anyway?" Kid Flash was hoping that she kept them. It was likely that she threw them out, destroyed them with a hex, or just dropped them on the ground, but the love struck boy didn't want to be thinking those possibilities. He liked thinking that she kept them in water in her room, and that she enjoyed having them in the room.

Those roses…with all the crime the Hive Five had committed (or tried committing) in the past month or so, Kid Flash was becoming friendly with the owner of the local flower shop. In fact, the owner had asked him three times already who the rose was for, and Kid Flash always smiled and said nothing. He'd pay for the rose and sprint out the door, heading to the crime scene.

The redhead stared up at the ceiling and wondered why on earth Jinx was still with the Hive Five. They were idiots. They didn't deserve having her as their leader. She had so much potential, villainess or heroine. If Kid Flash became a villain…no…he wouldn't think such thoughts. He just knew that he had to convert her to the good side. He wasn't sure why, entirely, but perhaps it was his upbringing that taught him that good was the better side to be on. Yes, being a hero is always better than being the villain. He leaned on the side of his bed and drifted into sleep.
