Hi everyone this is my first Teen Titans fanfic, I've been a fan of Kid Flash and Jinx ever since I saw the cartoon. I'm such a fan of them two I actually have them tattooed on me XD so review tell me what you all think my only thing is don't be rude, I want to know how I can improve but don't go out your way to be rude is all.
Chapter one
(Jinx POV)
It has been one week since Madam Rouge had attacked KidFlash in the warehouse. After the fight I needed to clear my head, normally I knew what I wanted and how to get it but for once I was confused about the path I was meant to take.
It's never too late
His stupid voiced echoed in my head, why was it bothering me so much?
Since then I had decided to pack my stuff up at the Hive base, which wasn't much a few sketch pads and some clothes packed up in a purple backpack. I didn't have much cash since KidFlash ruined our only way of making money but I did have enough to pay for a b&b in town for sometime. I'd have to think about how I was going to get more money when the time comes for now I'd have to make do with what I had.
I walked over to the small window in the b&b, it was another horrible day. It had been raining now for three days so I'd spent most my time inside this room sketching, reading or watching bad shows on the small tv the room provided. The only problem is I had ran out of food and needed to leave the room which was certainly not what I wanted to do.
Letting out a sigh I moved away from the window and went over to the bathroom, the floor was still wet from the shower I'd had earlier on. Picking up the brush I put my hair up into the signature horns I was now known for, I picked up the mascara that was on the side and applied it to my lashes. I didn't really wear makeup it was kinda hard to find foundation that matched my greyish skin tone, so I just stuck to mascara it was the safe option.
Walking back into the room I picked up my boots off the floor and slipped them on, I was so used to wearing them people didn't realise how short I actually was. I made my way to the door grabbing a black jacket off the chair, it wasn't thick or waterproof but it was better than nothing I thought as I slipped the jacket on and headed out.
(KidFlash POV)
After the little fight in the warehouse and Jinx getting her rose I left for her for the night, I had pestered her enough for one day and she looked like she wanted some rest, which I couldn't blame her- sometimes Robin would say I was a bit too much.
I waited a few days before going to the Hive base I vibrated into Jinx's room only to discover it was empty, she had taken everything she considered valuable and left. It wasn't like I could go into the living room and ask the remaining members of her team were she had gone even though I doubt they knew themselves. I spent the rest of that night going around the city hoping to catch her, even if it was robbing a bank, I wanted to say thank you for helping me I would of dead if it wasn't for her changing her mind and jinxing the remote. Yet I couldn't find her, I spent the next few nights while on patrol keeping an eye out for her but I had no luck, until today.
I was patrolling the city like always, the rain hadn't let off meaning not a lot of people were out. Unfortunately criminals didn't care what the weather was like which meant I had to stand in the rain waiting for them to mess up so I could take them to jail. My luck had changed when I noticed a girl in a black jacket with purple and black tights and platform boots on, it had to be Jinx I hadn't seen any other girls like her and if it wasn't I could just run past like it was nothing.
In a split second I was in front of her, it was Jinx! She stopped jumping back a little, I'd clearly took her by surprise as she looked up at me with her pink cat like eyes, brows knitted together and a pissed off expression crossing her face. This only made me smile, she'd never admit that I took her by surprise.
"Jinx! Fancy seeing you here, where's the rest of the team?" I already knew she left the Hive but she didn't know that I knew and it wasn't like I could say, oh I noticed you packed all your stuff up, how do I know that well you see I went into your room to see you but you'd already gone. I don't think that would of gone down well.
"I don't know probably out somewhere" she snapped back, still pissed that I scared her.
"Thought you'd be with them?"
"Last time I checked I wasn't their mother," she folded her arms across her chest and raised her head slightly.
"I didn't mean it like that it would be weird if you was a mum…. What I meant was if you had children they wouldn't be like that….. No no okay let me start again. Hi Jinx do you have any plans?" Think before you speak Wally my mouth goes faster than my brain I swear, my stuttering seemed to make Jinx smile though.
"I do," she said standing up straight, pushing past me as she continued to walk down the almost empty path.
"Mind if I tag along?" I said jogging up next to her.
"Don't you have hero work to be doing?" she stopped, turning to me eyebrow raised.
"I have some time, plus I wanted to ask if you wanted to grab a bite to eat as a thank you for saving me last week" I asked scratching the back of my head, shuffling as I said the last bit.
She waited tapping her chin as she thought about what I had said.
"Fine but you're paying"
"Of course my treat, I know this amazing all you can eat"
Before she could protest I picked her up bridal style and started to run in the direction of the restaurant. Looking down Jinx had her eyes closed as tight as she could, her hands gripped onto my suit so tight you could see the change of colour in her knuckles. She was really light, which is what I expected you could tell by looking at her she was a pettie kind of girl, I wonder if that was from lack of food or working out which would explain why she's so good at gymnastics. It took a few minutes but we were here, setting her down on her feet she held onto my shoulders to steady herself.
"Do that again without asking and I will hex you into oblivion" she said shaking still getting over the fact we'd just ran at super speed.
"Got it, ready to go in?" I grinned looking at her, she nodded and walked into the restaurant.
We had a nice table by the window, the perks of being a hero meant you normally got the best seats when it came to eating out, it also meant not paying for your food most of the time either which was brilliant when you forget your wallet or had to eat as much as I did.
The waitress came over and took our order, Jinx ordered a small pizza with fries and sundae for desert. I on the other hand, ordered meatballs and pasta, two tacos, a regular burger, three portions of fries, a pepperoni pizza with a small salad and three bowls of ice cream. What could I say I needed to eat a lot and the salad was just to make me feel good about pigging out.
"There's no way you're going to eat all that?" Jinx asked in disbelief at what I had just ordered.
"I sure will, I'm a growing boy" I grinned at her.
"We'll see" was all she said as she looked out the window.
"Soooo what made you say yes to coming here with me?," I was curious Jinx wouldn't want to be seen with a hero if she was a villain yet her she was sitting across from me.
"I was hungry and it's kinda hard to steal anything with you always following me around" she answered bluntly, turning her attention back to me.
"Oh I thought it might of been because you've left…" I cut myself off, I wasn't meant to slip up and tell her I was letting myself into her room.
"I've left what?" she asked eyebrow raised.
"You've left the Hive tower" I swallowed the lump in my throat, she knew I've been caught out.
"And how would you know I've left Kid Flash?" she was enjoying this, I could tell by the grin that plagued her face, she was making me squirm.
"I might have stopped by to see you but all your stuff was gone" I whispered sinking down into the chair.
"Funny I didn't realise you and the guys were such good friends, heck they even let you into my room?" she asked.
"Not exactly"
"Oh no, so how did you know I had packed everything up and left?" my face turned bright red I was about to answer when the waitress came with our food. Food had saved me and it's not the first time must be my lucky day.
We sat in silence for some time while we both ate, it was clear Jinx hadn't been eating enough as she practically inhaled the food that was in front of her.
"So what you been up to, I haven't seen you in about a week?" I asked her, I hated small talk but I didn't know what else to ask without revealing that I knew she wasn't with the Hive.
"Stealing stuff, making babies cry all that jazz" she answered while playing around with a fry before putting it in her mouth.
"Really?"
"Nope I'm lying I've been laying low after what went on"
"Why?"
"You ask a lot of questions, you know that right? I don't think the brotherhood are annoyed for what happened, so I'm trying to lay low until things calm down" she let out a heavy breath.
"Is that why you left the tower?" I asked, I didn't care if she knew I'd been round. If she wasn't at the tower where was she staying? Was she safe? Did she need my help?.
"Kinda, Why do you care?" she shot back.
"I just want to make sure you're okay Jinx" I replied reaching across the table to hold her hand which she pulled back to herself like an injured animal.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me hero boy" she put her hand back on the table as I pulled my hand back to grab my drink.
"Do you at least have somewhere to stay?" I asked.
"For tonight yeah" she answered going back to her fries.
"Well if you need a place you can come stay at mine"
"I'll pass" she snorted finishing her fries.
"Jinx let me help you, it's my fault they're annoyed at you so the least I can do is make sure you've got somewhere to sleep until it's all blown over" I offered again, I know Robin and the other titans wouldn't be happy with this but I couldn't leave her on the street.
"Nope" she said putting emphasis on the p at the end.
"Please"
"No"
"Pretty please" I continued
"If I say maybe will you stop asking?" she said clearly annoyed with me but I kinda got an answer I could live with.
"I will" I grinned at her.
"Fine I'll think about it, now can you take me home?" she said standing up.
I stood up and paid for the bill leaving a tip for the waitress, then walked to meet Jinx outside.
"So where would you like me to take you?" I asked, she sighed and gave me the address of the b&b she was staying at. Within a minute we were outside her home for the night. Putting her on the ground she turned and started walking to the doors of the building.
"Night Jinx, see you tomorrow" I said before speeding off home before she could say anything else.
(Jinx POV)
I was left standing by the door to the b&b, I didn't say anything about seeing Kid Flash tomorrow so I don't know where he got that idea from. I sighed before turning inside and making my way to my room for the final night, once inside I leaned against the wall taking my platforms off going back to my regular height of five foot three. Slipping my tights off I made my way to the bathroom and let down my hair, running my fingers through it to let loose the wavy curls that now rested on my shoulders. Walking back to the bedroom I reached into my bag that was at the end of the bed and pulled out a baggy black t-shirt, taking my dress off I slipped into the oversized t-shirt that was more off a dress and got into bed.
As I layed there I wondered if I should take Kid Flash up on his offer. After tonight I didn't have anywhere to stay and I didn't want to stay on the street or go back to the Hive so it looked like I didn't have much choice.
How bad could living with Kid Flash be?
