A/N;
Thanks to my reviewers, both of you. You're fantastic. :D
I'm glad you like it, and yes, Titans East are counted as honorary Titans. I'll be putting the other Honoraries into teams as well, as I think they did after the Brotherhood of Evil thing. So yeah, they're counted. They probably won't appear as much though, because this story is written about the characters that don't get as much love as the main guys.
This one's about Kid Flash, another fave of mine. Make sure you suggest characters you want done. :)
R & R
*hugs*

Everything he did was at light speed. He wasn't a patient guy, in fact- he hated waiting. It irritated him- why did people choose to live slowly, when everything was so much more exciting when things were fast?
He really didn't understand.
Even before his powers, Kid Flash, or Wally, as he was known back then, had lived fast. He'd lived in the moment. Maybe it was a fear of being left behind.
He was never good enough for his uncle, the original Flash. Never fast enough, not strong enough. Sure, his uncle was a nice guy, but he had high expectations, expectations that Wally couldn't meet as his sidekick.
So he broke off, becoming his own hero. He wasn't just a second-rate sidekick anymore, he was an actual hero. Sometimes he wondered if his uncle was proud of him now.
He guessed it didn't matter. He lived fast, didn't intend on dying anytime soon, and got to kick some serious ass along the way. He didn't need his Uncle, he was fine on his own.
Until he met Jinx.
She was like an enigma- mysterious, devious, intent on getting what she wanted... and all he wanted was to figure her out. Kid Flash was intrigued by everything about her, and found himself unable to stop thinking about her. He just thought- she's incredible. So misunderstood, so angry. And yet... she's different.
He'd caught countless bad guys before, but he couldn't bring himself to lock her away. It wasn't just that she was beautiful, no- he'd fought pretty villainesses before. What made her different? He couldn't out his finger on it, and like moving slowly, Kid Flash didn't like not knowing. So he pursued her.
It was a rocky start- he was going too fast while she moved too slowly- cautious, ever hesitant in her new life. He was fast- urging her to accept her new status with pride and happiness. Sure, she was happy, but she had fought them countless times on the side of bad. How was she supposed to be their friend, when she'd spent so long hating them?
Eventually, they got to the same speed. He slowed down, she sped up, but it didn't matter. They were at the same pace- wanting the same things. Jinx had come to terms with being a hero, and Kid Flash was showing her all the perks.
For a while, Jinx moved into his apartment. They annoyed the heck out of each other- the result always being; Jinx- winner. Her pink hexes were dangerous weapons, and she wasn't afraid to use them. For the first time, Kid Flash found himself able to walk for a little while- appreciating things with her. She stopped moving so slowly, fearing rejection, and took Kid's advice to just get on with it, and quickly.
"I can't face them, Flash." Jinx admitted one afternoon, her pink eyes filled with worry.
"Robin wouldn't have made you a Titan if he didn't want you to drop by every now and again." Kid Flash pointed out with a grin.
"I'll drop you by in a second." Jinx grumbled, crossing her arms defiantly. Kid Flash laughed, unfazed.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Jinx. C'mon, just come to the damn party with me! Beastboy's only gonna turn 16 once!" he pressed, voice pleading. "I'll unleash the awesome power of my beautiful blue eyes on you!" Jinx rolled her own eyes.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Flash." She mimicked his voice with a smirk. He grabbed her hand, yanking her to her feet. "Hey!"
"Just trust me." Then Kid Flash looked her right in the eyes, and Jinx couldn't remember what she was talking about for a moment. Then, she slapped his hand away.
"Dammit, Flash!" she muttered, pointedly looking away. "I'm not going."
"That's what you think!" Kid Flash laughed, grabbing her thrashing frame and racing her across the city to Titan's Tower, all in the blink of an eye. As soon as he set her down, she blasted him with her crackling pink energy.
"Jerk!" she hissed. She looked up- there stood Titans Tower, the place she'd only been in once... when she and the others took over.
Kid Flash emerged from the water, dripping wet, and laughed. "Well, we're here now!"
"And you're soaking wet." She pointed out, "Wow, looks like we can't go inside." Kid Flash rolled his eyes.
"You're not getting off that easily- are you going to walk in or am I gonna carry you again?" Jinx blasted him again, but he was ready, zipping out of the way just in time.
"You're infuriating!"
"You're so stubborn!"
"You're so pushy!"
"You're so pretty."
"You're so- what?"
Jinx stared at him, open mouthed. Kid Flash took advantage of the situation and sprinted over, getting them inside the Tower before she could speak. Suddenly, he stopped just outside the Ops Centre. Jinx could hear them all, laughing and talking inside.
"Watch it, mister." She finally told him, her heart pounding frantically. She really hoped he couldn't hear it.
"You're so pretty." Kid Flash repeated, and like everything he did, kissed her quickly. Jinx watched him straighten up, pleased with himself, and smirked.
"Slow down, speedster." And then she kissed him again, slowly.
They were a complete opposites; fast and leisurely, hasty and strategic, and yet they made a perfect match.
"That line better not have been just to get me to this party." She warned, and Kid Flash held up his hands in surrender.
"Of course not!" he answered. Jinx took a deep breath, and Kid Flash slid the doors open. "Hey guys!" he called. "I brought Jinx, that's okay, right?"
There was a beat of silence as the gathered Titans, honorary or otherwise, looked at the newly-arrived couple. Then, Beastboy's face broke into a wide grin.
"Hey guys! Where's my presents?"
Wally was out the door and back again, his strong arms carrying two big boxes.
"Took a while to get Pinky here." he explained, handing the presents over to Beastboy. He pretended to look sad.
"Oh, Jinx, I'm hurt." He teased, "Thanks guys. You gonna stick around for the whole party this time, Flash?" Flash grinned, his arm sneaking it's way around Jinx's waist.
"I think I've got a few reasons to slow down for a bit." He answered easily.
"Take it off, or I'll break it off." Jinx warned with a small smile, but Kid Flash's arm did not move.
It stayed there all night- unbroken.

Aw, the Flinx. They'd have to be my fave couple, but this is my first attempt at writing them. Hope I did okay. R & R? :)
