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. :)
Jinx held her breath as the large metal doors flew open. She clung to Kidflash's shoulder, and buried her face in his chest, hoping that not seeing her face would help. She knew what was coming, or close to it. Kid flash stepped into the common room and squeezed her tighter to him.
"Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy. Come out here for a minute, it's important."
The three came into the common room looking very distressed. They were not expecting the sight they found: Kidflash standing before them with one of their enemies in his arms.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
Jinx becam shrouded in black mist and was thrown against the wall, where she landed in a crumpled heap.
"Jinx!"
Kidflash ran to her side and pulled her into a hug. Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon at her, Raven lifted the sofa with her mind and was ready to throw it at any given moment, and Beast Boy changed to the form of a large green wolf, baring his fangs in anger.
"Guys, stop it! She's with me."
Cyborg's face was set in an enraged expression and his voice was bitter.
"You mean you caught her. Now all we gotta do is make her spill where the cure is."
"I have the cure."
Kidflash looked down at the limp girl in his arms. She had been attacked unmercilously that day and he was surprised she still had the strength to speak. Kidflash reached for her sleeve but she pulled away from him.
"Jinx, I'm just getting the..."
She stood ungracefully, leaning against the wall for support. She reached into her sleeve and pulled out the small, glass vial. She was breathing heavily, and it was obvious she was in pain. She swaggered over to Cyborg, all the while limping, but holding her head high. She stopped two feet from him and stretched out her arm. He took the vial from her and deactivated his sonic cannon. Raven returned the couch to it's original position, and Beast Boy changed back to normal. Jinx still stood there, arm outstretched, hanging on to conciousness.
"Hey, Cy, did you think the cure could be..."
Bumblebee walked through the open door and stopped. All she saw was Jinx standing before Cyborg, arm out. To her, it looked like she was about to hex him. She pulled out her stingers with a flick of her wrists and fired at Jinx. Jinx took the blow full on and fell to the ground with a soft thud.
"JINX!"
Kidflash was already by her side. He reached to her neck to check her pulse. The others waited in silence. His head flew up.
"Cyborg! She needs help, NOW! Cyborg and Raven, help me with her in the hospital wing. Beast Boy, call Barbara and tell her and Robin that we found a cure. Bumblebee..."
He glared at her and didn't say another word. He picked Jinx up and carried her out of the room with Raven behind him. Cyborg began to follow, but Bumblebee grabbed his arm.
"Wait Cy, I gotta talk to you."
"What is it, Bee?"
"...I'm sorry. I didn't know she was here with Flash. I thought she was trying to hurt you and I reacted naturally."
She looked away for a moment, then regained eye contact.
"I'll get the guys and we'll be outta here tonight."
She turned to leave, but this time it was HIS turn to grab HER arm.
"Nobody said you had to leave, Karen."
"But...Aren't you mad?"
He chuckled slightly.
"Na, I'm not mad...I'm actually flattered that you would risk that the way you did just to save me...Even if I wasn't in real danger."
She laughed sarcastically.
"Well, I wouldn't do it for just ANYBODY."
He stopped smiling and looked at her quizically. She thought fast, trying to come up with something.
"Well, I mean, you know, I'd only do it for a really good friend like you."
He smiled, crushed inside.
"Ya...Friends."
"Best friends."
She reached up and hugged him. He turned to leave and was half way through the door when...
"Hey, Cy?"
He spun around.
"Ya?"
"The guys...were telling me some...stuff about you...about a crush?"
He blushed wildly, closing his eyes and scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Well, um."
Before he could react, she reached up and placed one hand on his left cheek and planted a soft, warm kiss on his right one. As she pulled away, he stared dumbfoundedly at her, causing her to giggle lightly. She turned and began walking out of the room.
"Tell me if you guys need any help in there, k?"
She had already passed through the door and was out of sight, but he answered her anyway.
"Ok."
