Ok. Here it is, my latest update. I would really appreciate it if you would check out my other stories, too. I need FEEDBACK PEOPLE! Anyways, on with the story...(It's gettin good, isn't it?)
Disclaimer: I am still trying, but do not yet own the Teen Titans... but I'll still keep trying, even if Cartoon Network won't accept my emails...and that restraining order won't last forever! MY DAY WILL COME! Ok, on with the story. :)
"No problem, Cy. I'll check it out and call back if I find anything."
Kidflash snapped his communicator shut. The wheels in his head were turning(at an amazingly fast speed I might add.) Where would Robin go? Cyborg had told him he was looking for Barbara, so...GOTHAM! Kidflash ran out the door, searched every corner of Gotham city, and was back in his apartment within 2.4 seconds(Yes, he timed it.) He then ran out and searched the northern side of town, just as Cyborg had instructed. Half a second later, he was back in his apartment again looking confused. Where else was there to search? He didn't want to search the whole city, because he didn't like taking other peoples jobs, but... He ran out the door and flashed down the street. Four seconds later, he had searched most of the city, and had only one more place to check: The city park. There he was, sitting on a park bench beside a red headed girl, whom he had never met. He could hear her saying"call them and tell them your alright" so he raced back to his apartment.
"He'll call them in a couple minutes, I shouldn't bother."
He was right. Not long after his discovery, his communicator began to play the oh so familiar tune, signaling a call. He clicked it open with a flick of his wrist.
"Yello?"
"Robin just called. He's stayin' with Barbara tonight. He sounded kinda freaked. I'm tellin' you, man, if we don't find a cure soon, we're all gonna lose it, especially Star."
"Is she crying?"
"Na, man, that's the thing. You figure she'd be bawlin'. But, no, she's just sittin up in her room, really quiet. I'm gettin' scared. She's usually so hyper and excited, but now she's...I dunno. All I know is, we gotta find this cure, and fast."
"...I have an idea. It might be a dead end, but I'm gonna try it anyway. I'll call if I have any luck."
He shut the communicator and clipped it to his costume. He then ran out of his apartment.
When he reached his destination, he was outside an old, run-down building. Glancing upward, he found his target; a window with pink curtains on the second floor. He ran up the wall of the single story building beside it and stopped on the roof. From what he could tell, no one was in the room. He backed up, gave himself a running start, and jumped. He was about to crash into the window, when he began to vibrate his molecules, allowing him to pass through the window unscathed. He rolled on the floor and bumped hard against the end of a bed. He heard a grunt, then a yawn. He wasn't alone. He crawled over next to the head of the bed and peeked over the edge. The person had their back to him, asleep. He stood quietly and started snooping through the dresser beside the bed. Unfortunatly, as he moved closer to it, he stubbed his toe, causing him to yelp in pain. He covered his mouth, but not soon enough. The person rolled over in the bed and he ducked down again beside the bed. After a few moments of silence, he peeked over the edge again to see if the person was asleep. He met with pink, cat-like eyes glaring at him. He jumped back.
"What are you doing in my room?"
"Hey Jinxy. You see, it's a funny story..."
She threw a small hex at him. He dodged it easily and raised an eyebrow at her.
"Either your still half asleep or your attacks are getting weaker."
"I wasn't trying to hurt you moron."
"Aww! Really? Well that's sweet of you."
She blushed.
"I didn't mean it like that! I meant I just didn't want to destroy my room by fighting in here."
"Well that's good, because I didn't come to fight. I came to talk."
"About?"
"...Robin. He's been wandering the city without a clue"
"Ya, I know. He walked into one of the stores I was in, saw me, then left. At first, I thought he had remembered me. But then I remembered that you guys never found a cure."
"Jinx, we NEED that cure. You HAVE to have one somewhere!"
She smiled mischievously at him.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do. But why should I give it to you?"
"Because if Robin isn't cured soon then..."
"The titans will lose it and villains will win every fight from here on out? Ya, kinda planin' on that."
"Then Starfire will probably go crazy. You may not understand, Jinx, but Starfire is in an awkward situation."
He sat down on the end of the bed.
"She loves him, but he thinks he still loves Barbara. Do you know how hard it is to love somebody who doesn't love you back?"
She looked away from him, focusing instead on the window.
"Jinx?"
"YES OKAY, YES, I KNOW HOW IT FEELS!"
He looked at her quizically.
"Really?"
"What, are you surprised that I can even love?"
"No, I'm surprised that someone wouldn't love you back. As long as your not trying to kill somebody, you're an amazing person, Jinx. You just have to be nicer to him...although the evil attitude does make you seem kind of mysterious."
She blushed brightly and looked at him expectantly.
"...I'll give you the cure."
"What?"
"I said I'll..."
"No, I heard you it's just...I'm surprised. Why are you doing this?"
She shrugged.
"Just trying to be nicer to him."
His eyes went wide. HE was the one she loved? He stood and moved closer to her, sitting down again, but right beside her now.
"Can I tell you a secret?"
She nodded and in one swift movement, he grabbed her waist, pulled her towards him and pressed his lips to hers. When they broke apart, he grinned at her.
"I have been waiting to do that for SO long."
She smiled innocently and swung her legs around to the side of the bed. She rose gracefully to her feet and walked over to the door. Opening it slightly, she peeked down the hall to see if anyone was coming.
"I have to go to the lab to get it...It's hidden, and guarded heavily. I made Gizmo make one and only one, so I only have one shot at this. If any of them catch me, I'm dead. I'm gonna try and divert the security camaras from the..."
She turned around, but he was already gone. She walked over to the window and looked around.
"Kidflash? Where'd you go? You have GOT to stop disappearing like this, it's really rude...AND I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!"
"Yes?"
She spun around and bumped her head against his.
"Ouch! Watch it! Where were you?"
"Where's the lab?"
"Oh, no! You're not going in there! If they find you, they'll kill you, no questions asked. No, I'm going."
"You just said that they would kill you too."
"No, I said I'm dead. There's a difference. If I run into Seemore or Billy, I can lie to them. Mammoth or Gizmo, they know when I'm lieing and they'll question me, but I'll get out of it. And Kyd Wykyd...ok, HE would kill me, but that's one out of five. Much better odds then you. No, your not going."
She turned to leave, but he put his arm in front of the doorway, blocking her path. She looked up at him, and her pink eyes met his blue ones. Then without warning, he wrapped his outstretched arm around her shoulder and pulled her against his chest, and set his chin on her head.
"I'm not letting you go alone Jinx, not even if it's one out of a hundred. There's still a chance, a chance I don't want to take."
She smiled against his chest and looked up at him.
"...Ok, but we have to be careful, this place is booby trapped like crazy. I suggest we go in from the outside. I'll go in, make a clean swipe, you get the cure and...I guess...you'll be going back to the titans. And if the guys ask what happened to it, I'll just say I don't know anything about it."
"Let's go."
