Hey all, I'm really sorry for not updating this. I guess I kind of lost interest in writing for a while but quarantine has made it so that I have some extra time to spare. I'm not sure if anyone is even reading this anymore, but here it is. I hope you enjoy it :)
I think that I should say that I want to not write as much since my previous chapters were so long and lengthy. I realize that by updating with shorter chapters, I can gauge how much people really like or don't like this story.
Please don't forget to favorite and review! Reviews are what really get me going and I love to hear any and all feedback!
FUTURE - 2:21 AM UNKNOWN LOCATION
"I just don't understand what's the big deal."
Frances was upside down on a dingy couch. See-more was crouching over a wooden table with various papers scattered across it. On the wall behind him was a map marked with pins and strings.
He ignored her voice in favor of darting his eyes across the table.
Frances turned her body over and glared at him.
"Why don't we just go for what we want? It's obvious that the twins are hidden, we just need their parents for ourselves."
See-more let out a long and deep sigh.
"He took everything I wanted from me. I'm going to take back what was supposed to be mine."
Frances blew a raspberry into the air and walked over to the table.
"I still get Wally, understand? He left me when I needed him most."
See-more continued to brood and look down onto the whereabouts of any and all superheroes even with the slightest connection to the superhero couple. They had to have missed something somewhere.
PRESENT - 6:10 AM TEEN TITANS TOWER, JUMP CITY, CALIFORNIA
Irey opened her eyes. She always loved waking up early in the tower whenever they stayed over for a mission or just to hang out with her aunts and uncles.
Her dad's arm was wrapped around her and her brother while Jinx's laid on top of his. Seeing the opportunity, she zapped Jai just enough to get him to jolt and covered his mouth with her hand.
Gesturing to their parents' hands and knowing what her father's next actions would be, she phased through the bed and quietly zipped out of the room, Jai following her.
Wally groaned at the loss of heat and scooted closer to Jinx, pulling her closer and holding her to his chest.
Jinx rubbed her face into the familiar spot and visibly let out a sigh. Still sleeping, she loosely gripped his t-shirt in her hands. Even though Wally towered over her in real life, they were at an even playing field when it came to cuddling. Jinx did not have a warm body temperature, generally being cool to the touch, and Wally giving off so much heat. It was great for both of them.
Even though he had his eyes clothes, Wally was awake from hearing his children not so quietly zip from the room. He needed to teach them that trick. Wally rubbed his thumb in circles on Jinx's back and kissed her bare shoulder. They needed to be up in case the twins tore up the tower.
"Wally," Jinx sleepily mumbled. "Leave me alone I wanna sleep."
He chuckled, his voice deep from their slumber. "We gotta get up Slowpoke, we don't want the kids destroying the Tower, do we?"
Jinx buried her face into his chest and brought her body closer to his.
"Dick can afford it, can't he." She said it like a statement rather than a question. Wally smiled and brought his lips to her hair.
He had briefly forgotten their conversation last night and it seemed that Jinx had too for a second.
"Jinx baby, look at me."
He took her chin in his hand and Jinx opened her eyes. He enjoyed the way her cat pupils grew three times in size.
"I know that I don't usually face my problems head-on, but I need to know if this is what you want," he paused.
"If I'm what you want. Because you have been the only thing I have wanted up until now."
Her eyes flashed pink.
He smoothed his thumb on her face, "I mean, now, I want the package deal. I want you, the twins, and the big house or the skyline apartment, or wherever the hell you want us to live."
Jinx felt her heart melt. She brought her delicate hand to the nape of his neck and curled her fingers around the short hairs there.
She smiled and looked into his blue eyes.
"I want it too Wally, I want it too."
He smiled and moved forward to capture his lips in her own. He made the kiss cuter by smiling and pulling her closer than she already was. After a few moments of enjoying how good she felt, he pulled away.
"I have to know though Jinx, what was it that made you so uncertain about us?"
Jinx broke her gaze from him. It was either now or never, and she finally felt the need to talk to him about it.
"I found out that you cheated on Artemis."
Wally's eyes widened at that. He can see why Jinx was so angry at that, and he can't blame her.
"I talked with Artemis about it and she kinda didn't want to tell me the details and told me to ask you about it. But, I mean, her reaction scared me because it didn't really make sense to me."
The redhead's jaw hardened and he gulped.
"I, um," he sighed. "She didn't want to tell you about it because it's not all that simple as me being an asshole and hooking up with a random girl."
Jinx felt her head get lightheaded a little bit.
"Her name was Frances Kane, and I had known her from going to Star Labs with my Uncle. She had these powers that were unstable and being her only friend, I was her constant since her parents and just about everybody else she used to know had abandoned her."
Wally smiled sadly at the memories of him and his old friend.
"I convinced her to become a hero and to use her powers for good, but, her powers corrupted her without us knowing. We were friends, and while we did have something like puppy love when we were in middle school, I started to date Artemis. This was enough to push Frances over the edge and she just blew up one day. Literally."
He would never forget the day her powers surged through her veins in purple light, lifting her above the two of them. Tears streamed from her eyes, glowing purple, her face contorted in rage at finding Artemis and Wally together.
"She vanished right in front of us, but her explosion destroyed the area we were in, and Artemis and I had to try and usher all of the people away from the scene. I guess things spread across the Titans grapevine, but I couldn't bring myself to explain to people what happened between me and Artemis."
Trying to lightly laugh, he continued, "You know Arty, and you know how she can get. She was angry at me, batshit angry at the whole situation, and believed that I was a two-timing man whore and caused the death of someone I really cared about. She eventually heard my side of the story after we had ended our mess of a relationship, but by then the damage was already done."
Jinx looked at him with teary eyes. Throughout his confession, she noticed his slight trembles and the way his eyes glazed over, reliving the memories of losing an old friend.
"Haha, my reputation of being a player really didn't help my case when it came to you huh Jinx? I'm so sorry, I-I understand why you got so angry, it really-"
Jinx shook her head.
"It was my fault for assuming the worst of you, I'm the one at fault here."
Wally kissed her nose, "Don't be so hard on yourself, I should have come clean about everything before all of this got as messy as it did."
Jinx sat up immediately. "No, it's my fault, I'm the one at fault here-"
"Jinxy, c'mon," Wally looked up at her.
The pinkette stared down at him. The sunlight creeping through the blinds to accentuate his strong profile.
"I'll make it up to you, Wall."
She crawled on his lap and smiled down at him, missing the hell out of his toothy grin. His hands went to steady her hips as she leaned forward and-
"Jinx! Wally!" Beast Boy's voice and hard-knocking destroyed the moment. The door slid open to show the changeling out of breath.
Jinx and Wally glared at the green Titan but took in the concerned gleam in his eyes.
"The twins are gone!"
And there it is! I was getting really annoyed with how long I dragged out the drama between them, and I explained what happened. You guys didn't really think Wally would cheat on any of his girls did you? ;) He's too much of a golden boy to do such a thing.
Let me know what you guys think!
