Red and Pink

Authors note: I still don't own. If I did I'd be writing scripts and calling cast members and casting me as Terra and making her remember everything and go back to the Titans where she and Beast boy can live happily ever after.

When Jinx first woke, she knew something was wrong. It was quiet. Then she remembered that she was at the Hive so she didn't have to fear quiet, it didn't matter if it was quiet here, and it didn't mean that there was a possibility of something being blown up or caught on fire, right? She was in someone's arms; she looked up and smiled when she saw that it was Wally. She remembered that they had talked and that he was three years older than she was, not that it mattered at all to either of them. She told him that she was a virgin and he told her that he wasn't, and he was twenty one, she didn't expect him to be. She noticed that he was already awake and he looked back down at her and smiled.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"About noon. Didn't you have a nice nap?" he kissed her forehead as she nodded.

"What are we going to do today?" she sat up so she was face to face with him.

"Well, I noticed that you didn't have much civilian clothes so I thought that I might take you shopping, and no you can't steal. Then I think I might take you out to a nice restaurant tonight for dinner and then we can rent movies and watch them here. Also Terra and Beast boy will be coming over for that part, if you're okay with it of course." He definitely talked fast, granted he was the boy that could run around the world in about 2 minutes.

"That sounds okay. We'll have to get me something nice to wear while we're shopping then. Terra is the one that used to work for Slade, right?" She got a nod in response. "That shouldn't be too bad. Can we get horror movies?"

"Of course we can. The other two will be fine with it." He stood up and grabbed her hand. "Let's go shopping, love."

The two went to the mall. Kid Flash had a car that he used whenever he acted as Wally so they drove together. The fought a little about which music to play. He wanted rap, and she wanted alternative. They finally found a station they could agree on since it played a little of both plus some country and metal. They talked and laughed the whole way there. The covered favorite movies, he found out her favorite color was green and his was orange, and she found out that he was the Flash's son, which made sense. He found out that she had always been bad luck and abandoned at a young age. She told him about how she worked as a stripper in a few clubs when she was only fifteen, ending badly of course because of her powers. She told him about how Brother Blood found her and took her in, promising control and acceptance when she twelve but she had a history of running away periodically, hence the stripping. He told her about growing up in a super-powered family and how his mom died during childbirth. He told her about how his dad never recovered from it; he just drank and brought home random girls at the end of the day to fill the empty side of the bed. They talked about Madam Rouge and how that whole situation went down. He asked her about where she was going to go or if she would stay with him.

"I think I might stay with you for awhile." She told him as they pulled into a parking space and got out of the car walking hand in hand up to the mall entrance.

"I'm glad to hear that. We should get some stuff for the home then if you'll be staying. If you haven't noticed, an old ratty couch and a stained coffee table is much of home furnishings." They chuckled together at this.

"Well, I'd love to decorate the place."

At the end of three hours, they had already picked out a black couch and two dark red chairs for the living room along with a nice mahogany coffee table. They got a few nice vases to decorate along with some picture frames and wall hangings. She got a few nice pairs of jeans and tops. She even got a couple of nice dresses and clothes that she could wear for when they go out to nice restaurants. She got him to buy a few things to wear to a club. And at every store they argued about who would pay for what. Wally had plenty of money from his dad's business and he worked there sometimes under his alias. She didn't have much so she had to let him pay for most of it. They got some lunch together at a Chinese place at the food court. She got orange chicken and plain fried rice and he got sesame shrimp and egg noodles.

"So rich boy, do you and your father talk at all?"

"Not really. Nicole, my father and I don't really see eye to eye on a lot of things. For starters, he wants me to move back to Steel City, I want to stay here. I want to do crime fighting; he wants me to just run his business. He wants me to marry some nice gold-digger and have lots of children for him, I want you." He reached for her hand across the table.

She smiled at him, "I'm glad to hear you say that."

The rest of the day went off without a hitch. They got back to the apartment and their new couch and chairs and table and wall art was already there. She unpacked her clothes and then went to help Wally put the room together. After an hour, the two were satisfied on how the room looked and decided they could get some more things another day. They sat on the couch and looked at each other. His lips found hers. The room and the whole world stopped. It was just the two of them. He was careful; he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Her arms wrapped around his neck and she pulled herself closer to him. His hands moved up and down her arms and one moved up and down her small waist. His hand moved over and touched her small chest. She was only a b cup but he didn't seem to mind. His free hand took one of hers and put it on his upper thigh, directing her to go upwards to feel what she did to him. This snapped her out of it.

"Stop." She managed to get out. Being with him was amazing, she didn't want to stop but she knew she wasn't ready yet.

"I'm sorry, Nicole. I shouldn't have pushed you."

"You didn't, heat of the moment thing. It's okay, it really is." She tenderly touched his face and he kissed her palm. "We should go get ready, it's already six."

"Okay, I'll take the bathroom."

The two went in separate directions. She got in her dress and started to fix her makeup. He walked in the bathroom, looked behind the piping of the sink and found what he needed. He needed his heroin. He got the needle ready and stuck it underneath his skin when she walked in looking for her mascara. The hair brush that had been in her hand dropped to the floor, her face pulled into a shocked expression.

"What the fuck are you doing?" She demanded.

He finished injecting himself before saying, "Injecting myself full of drugs. I was feeling the withdrawal so I came to get another hit."

"Flush them."

"What?" he practically screeched. His nice pants were now on and zipped up.

"You heard what I said Wallace West. Flush the damn drugs."

"Nicole, baby, I need them."

"If you need them, then I guess you don't want me." She turned out of the bathroom, walked into the bedroom and started to change back into her jeans.

He grabbed her wrist to stop her. "Sweetheart, I want you. I'll flush them, I'll quit. See." He ran into the bathroom, flushed them, and came back in within three seconds. "All gone, I promise I won't get anymore."

"If you do, we're done. No more questions or second chances. I'll walk out and I won't come back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, now let's go to the restaurant and get movies to watch tonight." He linked arms with her and led her out of the apartment and on to the street. Together they walked the short block to the Italian place they would have dinner at. She ordered lasagna and he ordered some steak dish. They ate happily and talked about neutral non-yelling subjects. They picked out two horror movies to watch with Terra and Beast boy.

The two got to apartment and were able to change before Terra and Beast boy got there. The boys did that weird man hug thing and Wally hugged Terra quickly. The blonde was beautiful. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a simple black sweater.

"Hi, I'm Terra." She stuck her hand out to shake.

"I'm Jinx, well Nicole." Nicole shook her hand and the girls walked into the kitchen to get sodas. "So you worked for Slade?"

"Yepp, not the best thing I've ever done." The blonde looked down with a sad expression.

"Don't worry about it, I did a mission for him and I was in the Hive, I know all about being the bad girl."

The two talked while getting the snacks and soda, by then end of the night they were good friends. Beast boy looked at Terra all the time, like he wasn't sure if she was really there. Jinx noticed this, and when she asked Terra just told her that they loved each other and they had just got back together a month ago. Nicole asked if Terra was a virgin like she was, and Terra was pure until marriage, the girls had plenty in common. At about midnight the blonde and the green skinned boy let the apartment.

"I noticed you and Terra were getting along quite well." Wally commented when they were alone in the bedroom getting ready for bed.

"She's nice, I like her. We have a lot in common. Her and Beast boy's story is so sad, they really are like Romeo and Juliet."

"The other Titans say that all the time too. They were meant for each other but not everything happens right away."

"So where am I sleeping?" Nicole asked.

"Here in the bed. I'm sleeping out on the couch."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why don't you sleep in here, with me?"

"Because I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

"Its sleeping you dork, we can share a bed, and it's big enough."

The two stayed up until two in the morning talking and laughing and kissing. It was perfect. And when they wake up, they'll still be in each other's arms.
