So it's here the last chapter, I was going to keep it going longer but honestly I think it would ruin the story if I kept stretching it out with chapters that didn't really add anything. So I'm letting this chapter go out in a bang!
Thank you to everyone whose read it so far you've been amazing, I think this will be my only Teen Titans story and my last fanfic for some time as I'm writing my own short story to publish and need to give that attention.
Chapter 10
I just kissed him, I can't believe I did all that ran through my mind as I made my way to my room ignoring the others as I walked in. Flopping down on my bed I let the thousand thoughts race through my mind until one started screaming at me.
Then it hit me i've made a mistake!
Why did I kiss him? In that moment I realised what I had done, I had endangered him to every villain out there. If there's one thing villains hate more than heros is villains that walk away, nobody just leaves you either join the heros or you die. No one is lucky enough to leave the life of crime and start a new life, they track you down and destroy whatever kind of foundation you've built. By kissing Wally I had put a bigger target on his back, they would find me and in turn find out about him. They'd ruin his normal life, hurt his friends and family, even kill them if they had to, there were no boundaries they wouldn't cross. That's why there was only one thing I could do and that was leave, if not for me but for him. To save him from the real monsters out there.
That night I packed what I could into the small bag and waited till everyone fell asleep, then I left. I caught the first bus that was still running and I left the city for good.
"What do you mean she's left?" the distressed voice of Wally could be heard throughout the tower.
"She took off in the night, Kid" Cyborg answered the red headed hero. When he awoke in the morning he was greeted by a pissed off Robin and the news Jinx had run away. Cheeking the cctv footage he caught the girl fleeing the tower in the night with nothing but a small bag on her back. After following her to the bus station they lost all signs of her, she had gone and no one could figure out where or why.
"I told you that she was using you, she's probably going to tell everyone you identity! You've put us all in danger" Robin ranted on as Wally sat on the sofa unsure what to do with himself.
"Cy can't you track her?" Raven asked, trying to shed some light on the situation.
"The trail went cold at the bus station she could be anywhere now" he answered, what he didn't tell anyone was that he knew where Jinx was.
You see what they didn't know was that Jinx's bracelet had a tracker, of course he never told her that. The moment he heard she was missing he checked the tracker and was able to see just where she was, after a bit of snooping he found that she had gone to a small town and checked into a hotel. From there he watched the camera's around and noticed the girl had gone and applied at college, after researching a bit more he found her new name, phone number and all the other details the girl had given the college when applying for the art course. In that moment he realised she had run away to be a villain again she'd gone in the hopes of having a normal life, he didn't want to ruin that for her so when the others asked he told them he couldn't find anything.
It had been a month since Jinx had left. Life for the titans soon went back to normal as for Kid Flash he hadn't been the same since it happened. Yeah he went out and saved people but from there he went home and only ever left his place to go to school and even there he wasn't doing too well, he was barely passing his classes and was being threatened to be kicked from the team.
Cyborg hated seeing Kid like this but he knew he couldn't ruin Jinx's chance at a normal life. Most nights he liked to check up on her and make sure she was okay and that she was. She'd been going to college for a month now and was doing amazing in her classes, he often liked to read the teachers comments on how talented she young women was and what a brilliant future she had in the art industry. She had made new friends and hung out with them most nights at a pizza joint. He often saw her going into most nights of the week, when she wasn't with them then she was in her apartment that wasn't far from the school. From what he could see of the place it was nice the perfect place for her and she'd even gotten herself a cat. Jinx was doing amazing and she didn't need her past coming to get her and if that was a gift he could give her then he would.
What no one especially Kid Flash would expect was a call at that moment. He'd just got the news that the titans were in trouble, every villain had come together and now that's what every hero must do, it was going to be the biggest battle any of the young hero's would face. Just as he was about to leave his cell rings an unknown number flashing across the screen, normally he would answer it straight away but with times like this the hero was skeptical. Slowly he pressed the green button and held the phone to his ear.
"Wally it's Jinx, can you come get me?" in that moment his body froze, was it a trick? Was this really Jinx? He didn't think he'd ever hear from her again.
"Wally you there?" she asked again.
"Um yeah sorry, where are you?" he listened as the girl told him her address, so many thoughts rushed through the hero's head. What if this was a trap and she was working with the villains and this was just a ploy to capture him? He didn't care he needed to know, what if he went to this fight and didn't come back he'd never know why she left but if it was a trap then at least he'd have his answers.
Without realising he had already reached her apartment, taking a deep breath he knocked on the door waiting to see his fate.
The wooden door opened and revealed the pink hair witch, she hadn't changed at all. Same greyish skin, same pink hair, same pink cat-like eyes, it was his Jinx just she wasn't wearing her hair up and she wore an oversized black t-shirt revealing her long legs.
"It's you" he stumbled barely getting the words out as he rushed through the door to hug her. In that moment they just appreciate the embrace of one another, forgetting about everything else until they separated.
"I guess I have some explaining to do," she said nervously to the boy in front of her. It didn't take long, Jinx explained her reason for why she had left. She then went on to tell the boy about her new life. Kid couldn't be angry at her; she tried to do what she thought was right. She had turned into a villain again, she had sorted herself out and he couldn't be prouder.
"As much as I want to stay and talk all night I can't. I have important work to do" sadness in the boy's voice as he realised this might be the last time he saw her again, he needed to save the day once again.
"I know it's why I called"
"It is?" confused he waited for her to explain.
"One of my old connections got in touch and told me what was happening and asked if I wanted in. I told him yes and he gave me all the details of what was about to go down, I knew you'd be going and I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to you"
"So what are you saying?"
"I'm saying I want to come with you Wally. It's time I used my bad luck powers for good, what do you say?" This was what he wanted to hear from the day he met her, he knew she could do more and she was about to prove it.
"I say you need to get ready so we can show these bad guys how badass you can be," he said with his signature smirk. Just before she could run off and get ready for the fight Wally shouted to her.
"Jinx I need to ask just incase but when this is all over do you maybe want to go out? Like if you don't that's cool" he stopped rambling as he heard her laugh from the doorway she was stood in.
"I would love to Wally" she giggled.
"You do! For real, like boyfriend and girlfriend"
"You know for someone so fast you're a little slow"
