Title: Interlude 2: Property Damage.
Disclaimer: Don't own the Teen Titans. Wish I did, but I don't. Too bad, I guess. I own this work of fiction though. No stealing.
Rating: K+. For talking about vandalism
Notes: For this story you must think about how Heroes cause just as much damage as villains, but don't get in trouble.
Interlude 2 takes place shortly after "I Don't Care."

"So, Jinx, ready to fight some crime?"
Jinx turned to find Kid Flash smiling expectantly at her, but when she hesitated to answer, his smile fell slightly. It made her feel a little guilty, but she really wasn't ready yet. Yes, Kid Flash was the best thing that had happened to her in a long time, but she really hadn't made up her mind about whether to switch sides or not.
"Don't worry about it, I can go out on my again," Kid Flash tried to reassure her, like he did every night where he went out on his own. He was trying to be patient; trying to give Jinx her space, but she could tell he was beginning to feel let down.
"It's just…," Jinx began, and Kid Flash perked up immediately. Jinx had yet to really talk to him about her indecision. "Remember how I said I couldn't be a hero, because I have the power of bad luck?" she asked, "What kind of a hero would I be if all I can do is break stuff?" she asked earnestly.
Kid Flash simply grinned, and waved her off. "Don't worry about that. I mean, take the Teen Titans for example. Raven is all about ripping up mailboxes and street lamps and hurling them at the bad guys, and Starfire's starbolts certainly aren't made out of fluffy clouds and kittens. Do you remember Terra? She couldn't do anything without ripping up the street and causing major property damage!"
Kid Flash chuckled lightly, and rubbed the back of his head when Jinx didn't seem too impressed by his examples.
"Isn't that a little irresponsible of a hero?" she asked, her voice deadpanning.
He simply shrugged and laughed sheepishly.
