I feel like this chapter is a filler towards the plot and I'm so sorry it's taken me FOREVER to update. And have you guys seen the trailer for Titans? Im excited but not really since I highly doubt that Flinx will be included because Cyborg wasn't even in it :(. Oh well! Hopefully with the Teen Titans revival, we'll get to see more Flinx!. Anyways, onto the show!

PRESENT - 9:33 AM WATCHTOWER TRAINING CENTER, WATCHTOWER

Barry regretted his choice to taunt his grandchildren. They were currently on the track especially built to handle high speeds, the tunnel surrounded the rings that other Leaguers trained at. He was thankful that it seemed to early or too late for some to train because these twins were whooping his butt. So much for being the fastest man alive. A look of slight horror crossed his features as he thought that if Wally's kids were this fast, how fast had he gotten?

"Grandpa Bear?!" Irey shouted, slowing down in the slightest to look at him. She was the exact feminine epitome of Wally. Some freckles peeked out of her carefully cut mask and the big blue eyes under her goggles almost made him tear up. He remembered a time when a similar young boy had looked up to him to take care of him. Even when his father was alive, Wally depended on Barry and the Flash as a father figure. He was his mentor and his 'Dad' as Wally deemed him. He never called his real father, 'Dad."

He claimed Dads cared about their children. Did fun stuff with them, not made them cry and deny them.

"Are you alright? Kinda slowing down on us there." Jai approached on his right, the orange uniform highlighting his dark hair. He too had some freckles on his face, slightly faded and blended into his skin.

Barry had to compose himself before he lost his momentum just at the sight of his grandkids.

"Yeah," he brushed it off, "You haven't seen the best of this old man yet kiddos!"

With that said, he reached lightspeed. The laughter of the kids was lost at the speed of sound. It didn't take them long to catch up to him.

9:30 AM HALL OF JUSTICE, WATCHTOWER

"I know, I know."

Kid Flash put his hands up to try and calm the seething Bat in front of him.

"I know you hate all this traveling back in time shenanigans, but I didn't do anything wrong! Not yet at least!" the redhead exaggerated, his tone nothing short of overdramatic. Jinx rolled her eyes at her boy's actions.

"We," Jinx pointed to herself and the speedster, "didn't do anything, yet!"

And shouldn't you be proud we came to you rather than lying and hiding our kids!" Jinx closed her eyes, a headache blossoming at the back of it. She continued to babble as Kid Flash smirked, leaning forward with his hand covering the side of his mouth and said, "We have done stuff, just not-"

Jinx began hitting him and Kid flailed his arms trying to avoid his girlfriends' attacks.

On their way to meeting the big, bad, Bat, Wally had told her the good cop, bad cop shtick. She had no idea which cop he was portraying seeing as though they came her for advice, not an interrogation.

"What do you want me to do about it Punk?"

Batman kept his cool. It seemed like an easy enough situation to handle, they would have to just care for the kids until their future selves came back to get to their kids. Although, usually when Flashes were involved it was never as simple. Batman was still recovering from hearing the details from Barry about Flashpoint. The letter from his father was safely tucked within his suit, but the whole event was a main reason he was never a fan of time travel or time anything for that matter. For these kids, these men to be able to change anything in their lives just by running fast irked him. If something irked the Batman it had to be disturbing beyond imagination.

"For one, we came here to tell you. We didn't want you to come hunting our kids when you saw their new speed signatures from up here." Jinx said her tone straight to the point.

Batman's guarded expression relaxed at her logic. It made sense, and she was right at assuming he'd send someone out to look to who the new speedsters were.

"The next part, Wally tried to make the point that we don't know what to do with our kids. Yes, we could hide them in the tower forever, but what if our future counterparts don't come in a reasonable amount of time? We wouldn't be able to explain how we, only 17 and 18 had five year old kids."

Batman remained quiet. He had been so utterly annoyed at his nephew's arrival he hadn't thought their situation completely through and through. Batman nodded his head in approval.

Kid Flash was impressed to say the least. Here Jinx was, explaining the situation like it was the most obvious things in the world.

"I mean, it is highly possible that we could say we're their parents, but that would be a hell of a story." Kid Flash laughed while rubbing the back of his neck.

Batman turned on his hologram computer with the files to the twins already open. Dick had sent him details that he acquired from the children - only as much as they would give, along with their photos. The twin boy and girl were spitting images of their parents, the boy looking how Jinx would with her civilian identity. There was no doubt that these two would pass for their children if asked and answered.

"I understand the angle of which you're coming from," Batman acknowledged to Jinx, "temporarily, they will stay with you at Titans tower since they were dropped off close to there."

The two teen heroes nodded, taking orders.

"I'll tell Flash he has to watch over Keystone so you can focus on protecting your kids. The Titans should be more than enough protection, but if needed, you can always contact the League. If those kids were thrown here for protection, you both need to be ready, understood? I'll provide the appropriate documents for them and send it over to Nightwing."

After thanking him for the help he provided, all three heroes made their way to the training center where three streams of lightning circled around the track.

Kid Flash shifted into superspeed to see his twin children with glowing smiles on their faces. He laughed out loud and ran to join them, and much to the disappointment of Jinx who had to fix her frazzled hair.

Kid ran up to his Uncle , jovially grinning, "So, what do you think Uncle?"

The Flash shared a similar smile, "They've given me a run for my money, Walls!" He began to slow and so did his former sidekick, "You've trained them well, my boy."

Kid laughed and pulled down his cowl and Flash did as well.

"Future me has, and I'm betting that everything they know came from you-"

"-Aaaand from Mommy!" Irey sang as she and Jai slowed down to give their mother a hug.

Jinx smiled fondly, and pet both their heads. Wally felt a surge of happiness and pride at the scene. Barry placed a hand on the redheads' shoulder, knowing the emotions he was feeling. Don and Dawn were roughly around six after Barry and the League had figured out how to stop their quick aging.

"C'mon, son. It's time for your Aunt Iris to meet them."

12:32 PM WEST-ALLEN RESIDENCE, CENTRAL CITY, OHIO

Although Iris was fully aware that Linda was Jinx's civilian identity, Jinx preferred to only come as Linda. After all, Barry and Iris knew Linda before Jinx even existed.

"Jinx!"

"Wally!"

Don and Dawn ran up to the dark haired female and their cousin, who embraced them as much as they could.

Iris came out as well, giving her husband a welcome home and welcoming the young couple.

Wally stepped aside after giving his aunt a hug. "Aunt I, there's two people that have been dying to see you again."

Irey was dressed in a little yellow t-shirt dress, and Jai wore a blue polo shirt and khaki shorts.

"Iris, this is Iris Park-West the second and Jai Park-West." Linda said, lightly pushing them forward.

Iris looked starstruck, the freckles dotting their cheeks, the facial structure that was purely from Jinx, and the blue eyes that she had seen grow up.

In that moment, Iris was transported briefly to a time when there was a small blue eyed redhead that looked at her with tears in his eyes and said, "I think, I'm going to need a-"

Barry was already prepared, taking the form of his unconscious wife in his arms.

FUTURE - 3:56 AM UNKNOWN LOCATION

Frances was pretty sure that after she had left Wally, or after he left her (she can't recall which one was real) things had started to go downhill for her.

She remembered their relationship in shattered fragments. The biggest pieces she remembered were of him caring for her and oddly enough, him helping her with her powers.

They both knew she was a lost cause. Her powers were slowly killing her from the inside out. Wally noticed it when she would do or say something out of character. These events began to fester and build up until suddenly, they weren't together anymore.

At first, Frances was okay with that.

She was learning how to deal with it on her own, not having Wally do everything for her like he used to. Magenta was an established hero, but after her powers began to kill her, Wally had told her that maybe using her powers would increase the deterioration of her cells. Frances began to realize that Wally did a lot more than she gave him credit for and regretted never telling him she loved him.

She had found out about his and Jinx's relationship when they were just about to get married.

It was funny actually that he found a girl who's power could oppose her own. Frances noticed that Jinx was a lot different than her in many ways. From the fights that Frances saw online, she noticed they worked together fluidly. Her attack tactics were to use the shadows, kind of like a traditional spy. His tactics were to come in strong and attack immediately.

They somehow seemed to work in a way she and Wally never did.

There was a voice in her head, small at first that started the rage towards Jinx and Kid Flash. The voice grew louder, and louder, and louder until she found herself planning something with the rest of the HIVE and the Brotherhood of Evil on a plan of attack.

She admits it was a low point to go for them and their family, but the BoE said that the Titans had become too big for them to try and take down again. If they used a low point, then they could go from there.

Magenta's eyes shifted left and right in her mask, bored at Madame Rouge and See-more arguing in the dingy bar.

She had no idea what they were going on about, but she caught on when See-more mentioned the kids.

Spinning a piece of metal in a purple orb, she silenced them.

"Breaking your backs to find the kids is useless."

The two in front of her huffed in annoyance. They wanted revenge, and disturbingly, harming those kids was part of it.

"Don't waste your breath or time looking for them. Eventually, they'll have to come out of their hiding spot. In the meantime, we need to find out how to separate the happy couple from their little friends."

PRESENT - 12:45 PM WEST-ALLEN RESIDENCE, CENTRAL CITY, OHIO

Iris came to a couple minutes later with Barry fanning her and Wally biting his nails off in worry for his Aunt.

"Bear, I'm okay, guys, it's okay," Iris sat up, feeling better.

Jinx had told her children to get their Aunt some water. In superspeed, the two argued over who got to give their great Aunt the water. Jai made the argument that their Aunt only fainted because she saw how ugly Irey was.

Jai had won the race and stood in front of her with the glass of water. Irey had taken to sitting in her mothers' lap, hugging her with a frown on her face.

"Oh wow, you look exactly how your mother did when she was your age." Jai beamed at her.

Wally had taken a seat next to Jinx and Irey, still not sure how his Aunt would react.

"Now that that's taken care of," Iris adjusted herself next to her husband, "Wallace Rudolph West, what have you done?"

Wally slouched over, disbelievingly, "Why does everyone assume it's my fault? It takes two to tango!"

Jinx rolled her eyes, "There are children present, Rudolph."

Said redhead rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Jinx explained to his Aunt and Uncle in full detail of the situation, and they expressed their honest opinions on the matter.

"I know you both are going to protect those twins with every living breath in you," Iris said as she observed the two playing with their older twin Aunt and Uncle. "It's just. . . such a dire situation, you know? Your future self didn't give an explanation, a note or something telling you guys what to expect?"

Wally nodded a no, and Barry explained, "It has something to do with the time-space fabric, we haven't tried to contact our past or future selves in fear that it rips apart."

"The twins didn't seem to know why they were sent either," Jinx elaborated, "They were confused and had no idea what was going on or why they were sent here in the first place."

Barry nodded, rubbing his chin in thought, "Whatever is going on in the future must be something significant then if you both came up with the decision that the twins would be safer here."

Iris and Jinx had gone to the kitchen to talk and the speedsters stayed in the living room catching up on their personal and superhero lives.

"So," Iris started, she had started on making some Korean fried chicken with some help from Jinx. "How's everything with you and Wally going?"

Jinx momentarily halted in making the proper side dishes and sighed, "Right now, I don't know."

She though fondly about the time they've spent with their kids and together.

Iris raised her brows, but the girl continued, "Before the twins showed up I found out something about him that made me question the future of our relationship, and then the twins just showed up confirming our future together."

Iris flipped over the chicken wing.

"Honey, I know it's a really scary time for the both of you now. Now more than ever," Jinx slightly laughed at that, "the main thing you need to remember, no matter what happens to the both of you, is that he loves you with every fiber of his being, and I know you love him just as much."

Jinx smiled at her and continued to prepare the dishes.

As much as Jinx denies it, she and Wally were childhood sweethearts. They love each other, but sometimes love isn't enough. She was still figuring out what to make of their relationship or where to go from.

On the proch of the West-Allen residence, the Flash and his protégé were having a similar discussion.

"The main thing I've been wanting to talk to you about Uncle is that the twins sometimes fade away." Wally looked out onto the familiar street of his childhood, looking like a child himself the way his knees were folded and held by his arms.

Barry had taken the state of his nephew as a sign that the twins fading had happened more than once.

"Why do you think that is son?" The blond pried.

Still not looking at his Uncle, there was a silence before he replied.

"I don't know if Jinx loves me anymore."

The couple were fine the last time they had dinner at their house, and even fine when he saw them earlier at the Watchtower. And despite Jinx telling him the night of the superhero fair that she loved him, Wally still had doubts. Barry stayed silent, allowing him to continue if he wanted to.

"I did something really stupid in the past, and now it's catching up to me, in the worst way possible." The fact that Jinx was considering her love for him didn't need to be said, he saw it every time the twins' were fading. Her future self-had given him something he didn't know he wanted, and now her present-self had the power to take it away.

"What are you doing to fix your mistakes, Wally? I know you're not just going to let your children cease to exist."

"I was so scared Uncle! I'm still scared!" Wally finally turned to look at him desperate, "I was holding their hands and-and I looked to Irey and she was disappearing! I can't force Jinx to love me, but if she doesn't then they'll be gone to me forever!"

Barry clasped his hand on his nephew's shoulder to calm him.

"Wall, you have to talk to her," he made sure Wally was absorbing his words by looking at him in the eye, "and I mean really talk to her. She needs to know how much you love the twins and how much you love her."

Lunch went by without a hitch, but Wally had taken into deep consideration the actions his Uncle encouraged him to take in regards towards' his and Jinx's relationship. The teens decided to take the day and have the twins hang out with the West-Allens. Jinx and Iris got to bond and share story leads they had, and Jinx learned some tips from Iris. The two sets of twins had taken to playing superspeed games, including racing around the house and video games. Wally and Barry suited up, patroling together at both of their cities. Before they knew it, it was already late and there was a dinner set up for the hungry speedsters. Jinx and Wally had deemed it late and the twins were exhausted from their fun day.

As they changed into their superhero personas and ran back to the tower, with Jinx on his back and the twins running beside him, he talked to them at a speed that Jinx wouldn't be able to tell.

"Mommy and I need some alone time to talk about things, you kids go wash up and go to bed."

The twins nodded and sped into the tower while Kid ran himself and Jinx up into her room.

PRESENT - 8:45 PM TEEN TITANS TOWER, JUMP CITY, CALIFORNIA

She sat on her bed and he sat next to her, his form hunched over and his hands rubbing themselves together.

" I-um, wanted to talk to you, and I mean, really talk to you about our relationship."

Jinx hugged her arms close to her and looked at him. From the rigid form of his body, she knew he needed a lot to get off his chest. In the past conversations they've had, Jinx had taken to his favorite tactic of running away from his problem while he took her approach by trying to face it head on. She guessed it was true that the more time couples spent together, the more they adopted the same characteristics.

"I know you said the last time that you-we talked that you weren't ready, but I'm going to tell you how I feel."

Wally finally met her gaze, and they both knew what they what he was going to say next.

"I know your feelings for me are a little out of sorts right now,"

Jinx kept her face cool.

I love you Wally, don't you know that?

"-but I don't want Irey and Jai's presence to push you to love me, if you're, if you, you know, reconsidering."

Something inside of Jinx screamed at her to do something, to say that she was just being difficult for judging him for things he did in the past when he had done nothing but love her unconditionally. Jinx felt something fill in her lungs; she couldn't breathe or make a sound. She could feel her eyes watering, and refused to look at him.

"I just wanted you to know that I love those two just as much as I love you. I'm not going to force you into having the twins with me just because I want them, and I can't ask that of you. Losing you alone would've destroyed me, but eventually I'd learn to accept your decision."

Jinx felt her breathing become short.

"But now, losing you would ultimately mean losing them also. It's one thing to lose something you never knew you could have, it's another thing to have something and that thing be taken from you. I know I said earlier that I wasn't going to force you into anything, but I will lose everything when you leave me."

It took a lot out of Wally to admit that he knew he'd lose her and the future they'd have together, but if she wasn't going to say anything at all about what she found out about him then he started to lose hope.

Wally swallowed his emotions and kept his face neutral. She hadn't made a sound after he poured out his feelings, and squaring his shoulders he sat straight.

Jai and Irey had taken that moment to rush in with their jammies. Sensing the awkward tension between their parents, Irey had snuggled into her father's lap and Jai had pulled on Jinx's.

"Daddy can sleep over right?" Jai side eyed his mother and Irey continued his sentence by saying, "we love it when we get to go to sleep with you guys."

Wally held Irey close and stroked her hair, "Irey, I don't think that's a good idea, Mommy's really exhausted."

Jinx smiled weakly at her two kids. She didn't know how long she'd have with them. Might as well have them remember their parents happy.

"Sure twins. Daddy and I just need to go wash up. You guys wait here for us."

Jinx went into her connected bathroom as Wally smiled to his kids before going to another part of the tower.

With their parents gone, Jai and Irey shared seldom looks.

"Jai," Irey looked to her brother, sadly, "I don't think we should be trying to force them together anymore."

Jai's face showed he was planning, strategizing different ways to get their parents together.

"I'm not sure I. You heard the fight," he lowered his voice, wary of the connected bathroom, "Daddy still loves Mommy with all his heart, but Mommy's mad at him for some reason. If they don't fix it, we won't exist anymore!"

Irey felt the urge to cry again. But she remembered her father's words before she was hurled into the wormhole.

You'll be safe, we promise!

"Jai. Mommy and Daddy sent us here for a reason," she met her brother's eyes, determined and more sure than she's ever been.

"Us just being here will help them. I trust them, don't you?"

Jai was unsure, and scared for his life, but he nodded.


Later that night, the kids in between their parents were snoozing softly. They held onto each other and embraced the warmth surrounded by them. Always the Daddy's girl, Irey slept closest to him and Jai next to his mother.

Wally faced the kids, Jinx her back to them. He had his long arm outstretched over them, the two hugging it, funnily. The redhead gave a crooked smile at them. He had never slept so good in his life till that night.

Jinx tried, but awoke every hour because of nightmares consisting of the twins crying and fading away.
