Ah ha! And just Frankenstein declared about his monster, I declare about this fanfiction; It's ALIVE!
I am so sorry I haven't updated this in just about for ever - I have many excuses (like I stopped watching Teen Titans - I started other fanficitons - etc.) but they don't really matter.
What DOES matter is that I am wrapping this story up once and for all!
So all you readers can look forward to a pretty little 'complete' to be next to this story soon.
I owe a huge load of thanks to impactboy and rosypen.
Jinx sat on the grass, by the lake, her arms resting on bent knees.
"You're late."
Impulse gave a cheeky grin.
"Aw... I'm sorry Jinx. But just as I was about to head out, Gizmo found an offer I just couldn't refuse."
"It's the end of the month, you didn't have to do anything Gizmo told you to do."
"But I wanted-"
It clicked in Kid Flash's mind. End of the month, end of his part of the bargain, end of the whole deal.
As Kid Flash sat next to Jinx a silence hung about them.
"How did it feel? To be a hero?"
Jinx looked away before looking forward again and answering.
"It was... nice, in it's own way. It was relaxing not to have to worry about the police or vidilanties or anyone else who cares to try and take you down. But..."
"But what?"
"But it was also so restricted. You had to be good all the time. It's... it's boring."
The silence stretched again.
"And you?"
"Hm?"
"Don't play dumb, no matter how befitting it is."
"Hey!"
"How did it feel to be a villian?"
"Well..."
Kid Flash gazed out over the lake, taking in every reflection and every shine. Light everywhere on this annoyingly sunny day... everywhere but where he sat, in the shadow of something much larger. That was the problem with bright days - the shadows were always darker...
He sighed, then whispered as if to himself.
"It is so much better."
Jinx turned in shock, but he went on whispering to himself.
"I can do what I want, when I want. It more fun being bad, and the 'good guys' seem so lame from this side of the line. And I've figured out quite a few tricks I can do that I didn't know before."
Silence as Jinx still stared tight-jawed but buggyeyed. He stood, Jinx standing with him.
"Congratulations Jinx, you win."
He looked up to stare Jinx in the eye and she saw a new glint there. A glint she knew she often got herself when plans were running well.
"I got sucked in. From now on, I'm Impulse -" Eyebrow waggle "Baby."
Some days later...
The Teen Titans sat in their meeting room, Robin standing up front while everyone else sat on the couch. Robin sighed - He really wished he didn't have to do somethign like this, but he had put it off for as long as possible.
"I'm filing Impulse as an official teen supervillian in the database."
There were a few exclaimations of outrage.
"I know! I know. I don't want to either but... It's been a month. Impulse is still as active as ever, perhaps more so - he and Jinx make a formidable pair. We have to face it, the Kid Flash we knew is dead."
Only a deafing lack of sound met this statement.
"We have to enter him in the database."
Reluctant nods came from all the Titans.
Current alias: Impulse
Other Known Alias: Kid Flash
"It's a sad day when a hero warps into a villian."
And all those there agreed with him.
Finished!
A kinda melancholy ending... but I liked it.
Read&Review please.
I repeat my thanks to impactboy and rosypen.
