Hi guys, okay this is going to be from both girls' points of view so it might be a little long. Thank you to those who reviewed the last chapter, I want at least 3 reviews before I update again though okay? Anyway here's the rest of the story.


Mini robots firing lasers chased Alex all around the room as she delivered deadly blows and starbolts at them. 'Too easy.' "How about we up the difficulty?" She shouted to her other teammates, who were doing their own training methods.

"Why not? Let's do it," Derek said enthusiastically as he lifted up three tons of weight. He pushed a button and five more tons were added to it, giving him a bit of stain this time.

"Ugh, you know I was fine with the easy level. I like easy, easy is good," Tyler complained as the weather machine he was up against matched his power.

"Yeah, and we all liked it when the HIVE Academy students sucked, they don't anymore, this is how we're going to beat them. AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!!" Desiree cried in response to Tyler as she wrecked the large robots that had her cornered.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah whatever let's just get this over with," Tyler shouted as he sliced through his mechanic opponent. "That's better," he said smiling to himself.

Meanwhile, Thalia was having the most trouble: she had to fight a hologram version of herself, another sorceress who could match her powers or even be better. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but Thalia found herself to be distracted. Everything she sent went wrong and the faux Thalia dodged each and every move and sent an even better move at the real Thalia and it connected almost every time. Thalia was getting upset.

'Grr, c'mon you're Enchantra daughter of Jinx, one of the best Teen Titans ever. You can beat yourself.' Thalia launched herself at the hologram and throwing green energy beams at her when the building shuttered.

All the Titans braced themselves and stared over in Thalia's direction, she looked dumfounded and scared, this emotion intensified after what happened next. All Thalia did was move her arm and a hole formed in the floor next to where she was standing.

"Level ended," Alex shouted and the robots stopped, "Thalia, what's up?"

"I-I-I don't kn-know it, they, ugh I don't know!" she screamed and the green energy surrounded the room. "What's happening to me?" she cried desperation on her face.

"It's ok, just stay calm. It could just be your powers intensifying, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about," Alex said and placed her hand on the distraught witch's shoulder with hesitation. Thalia shrugged away from it. When she did this a tremor shook the tower again.

"See!? I'm dangerous!" Thalia shouted hysterically.

"Thalia chill, we all can be dangerous, but we all know how to control it," Derek said in a soothing voice.

"Not like me, my mom's powers came from bad luck, mine does too. I'm more dangerous than all of you, that's why my mom was a villain for so long, being a hero just isn't possible for her or me," Thalia said sinking to the ground.

"But she became a superhero remember? Flash convinced her," Derek said approaching her now.

Thalia buried her head in her hands and didn't look up, "I've never been out of control like that before. What if it happens again?"

"It won't you and I can meditate more often, maybe it will help," Desiree offered.

"We've got your back Thals, we're your family," Tyler said with a smile.

Thalia raised her head up, and her eyes were different, her pupils were catlike now instead of round, "Thanks guys."

The other Titans concealed their shock at the girls' change in appearance. Alex was the first to speak. "Hey you know Thalia how about you just go rest for a bit, you can be done for the day."

Thalia sniffled, "Okay, thanks." The young girl got up and walked out the sliding doors. Once she was gone the Titans all looked at each other with worry.

"Did you see that?" Tyler whispered.

"Yeah, her eyes were all different. What do you think is up?" Derek said.

"Her powers are probably just maturing, she'll be fine," Desiree said simply.

"Yeah Desiree's right, let's get back to work now. Start level 13," Alex shouted as Tyler and Derek groaned.

Alex smiled as she turned to face her own practice, back to the midget robots. They were now firing off something new. 'Finally, I was getting bored.' Round spiked discs flew at her at incredible speed. Alex didn't expect them to burst into flames. On the spot Alex froze in place, memories came flooding back to her. An inferno surrounding her, her back and arms screamed in pain and a sinister laugh rang in her ears along with high-pitched screams.

It took her a minute to figure out the screams were her own, and soon she was staring up at the faces of her three remaining team mates, all who had worry plastered across their faces. 'How did I end up on the floor?'

"W-what happened?" she asked trying to get up now. The Titans gave her space to do so.

"You blacked out, for almost twenty minutes too. You were screaming the whole time," Tyler said.

"I think training should be over for today, we've been at it for about two hours anyway," Derek suggested.

"Yeah okay," Alex said as Tyler helped her to her feet. Desiree followed Derek out of the room and Alex was about to follow when Tyler grabbed her wrist and stopped her.

"We need to talk," he said his voice serious.

"About what?" Alex said she didn't know where this was going but she didn't think she liked it.

"I think you need help. Like professional help," Tyler said.

Alex laughed, "Why? I'm perfectly fine."

"No you're not. You just blacked out from the memories," Alex's mouth dropped open in shock, "Yes I know you were remembering him, and your nightmares are still here. Maybe they'll go away if you get that help. My dad knows this one lady, Dr. Grey she's a specialist for people like us. She could help you," Tyler finished his voice desperate.

"I'm fine Tyler, just give it a rest," Alex said angrily. "I don't need a shrink; I can get better on my own."

"Alex I know you're strong, but even strong people need help. And you just happen to need it right now not forever but for now it might be a good idea," Tyler pressed.

Alex had enough and snapped, "Look Tyler, I can worry about myself so just back off okay?" She regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. And the look on Tyler's face just made her feel worse.

"Ty, I didn't mean it," Alex started.

"I don't want to hear it Alex, I need space for a bit maybe you do too," he said as he walked out the door.

Alex's eyes welled up with tears as she walked out of the training room and down the hall to her room; Tyler was nowhere to be seen. Alex walked into her room and sat on her bed as a single tear dropped off her face. 'Why did I say that? Why? I need to talk to someone, but who? Thalia has her own problems and I don't want to whine to Derek or Desiree. I guess I could talk to…' Alex picked up her phone and dialed it.

After ringing a couple times a voice answered, "Hello?"

"Jared?" Alex said trying desperately to hold back the tears but that wasn't working too well.

"Alex? Allie, why you calling me so late?" Jared asked, sounding concerned. Alex's only response was a sob.

"Allie why you crying? Is everything okay?" Jared asked again.

"I just need someone to talk to," Alex said, "I messed up."


Thalia lay on her bed curled up, thinking about someone she usually didn't think about. Her dad. Since she had been over to Jude's yesterday, she couldn't stop. 'Who was he? Do I look like him? Why did he leave? At least Jude knows where his parents are and that they did love him. No that's not right of me to say that. My dad probably did, does love me. Then why did he leave?' Thalia asked her mom about the man she never knew a lot when she was little but the only response her mom would give her was, "He was a good man Thalia, but a busy one. He'd love you if he knew you. He left me not you."

But today that answer wasn't enough, Thalia wanted answers and now. She picked up hr phone and dialed her mom.

"Hello?" a drowsy feminine voice came. Lucky a.k.a Lucy Taylor. The great Jinx.

"Mom, I need to talk to you," Thalia said quietly.

"Hold on," Jinx said sounding more awake.

"Mom this is important," Thalia complained.

"Put the phone down sweetie, it's rude to talk on the phone when you have visitors," Jinx said. Thalia turned around to see a woman with short pink hair and wearing a black bathrobe in her room.

"Mom," Thalia whispered as she ran and hugged the woman.

Jinx put her arms around her daughter slowly, "Wow Hun, I've missed you too."

Thalia laughed quietly, realizing how much she had missed her mom.

"Ok, now what's the matter I can tell something's bothering you. Now sit down and spill it," Jinx said making herself at home on the younger witch's bed.

"Okay um I don't know how to say this but here goes. Who's my dad?" Thalia blurted. Jinx was caught off guard for a minute.

"Wow, that certainly wasn't what I was expecting. I guess you should know by now though. Sit down; I thought I told you to do that already?" Jinx commanded, the authority was still recognizable in her voice even after all these years.

Jinx had to gather herself for a moment, she sighed but then started, "Okay, this is a long story so be patient and don't interrupt okay?" Thalia nodded. "Alright as you know, I wasn't always a good guy. I was a villainess one of the best too, but had the worst team ever. Except for See-More, he wasn't so bad. Anyway, when the Brotherhood of Evil took over I wanted nothing more than to prove myself to them. To be respected for what I was. I did everything I could to impress them, my teammates however didn't care what the brotherhood thought, because of them I thought I'd never get the recognition I wanted so badly. Until one day, we were robbing a museum, we were bored and wanted some new stuff, as we were about to get away, a blur no a flash came and stole the stuff we stole away from us. I was holding a necklace but in it's place was a rose. That's when we came up against Kid Flash."

"I know this story," Thalia interrupted impatiently.

"Hey! Do you want me to answer your question or what? I told you you'd have to be patient so shut up!" Jinx snapped. Thalia just nodded.

"Okay where was I? Oh yeah Kid Flash, anyway, he kept on foiling our plans when eventually we caught him. I told Madame Rouge and offered him as a gift. She accepted and was on her way to pick him up. He tried to tell me that it wasn't too late for me to become a hero, to convert. I didn't listen, and of course he escaped before Madame Rouge could collect him. When she arrived she told us she'd go after him herself and that we were pathetic. I was crushed she was my hero, no pun intended. But I still thought I had a chance and went after him too. Eventually I found him, tired out from running from the evil woman. He trusted me, was talking again how I could be a hero, and didn't deserve to be treated the way I was being treated. I captured him, and presented him to Madame Rouge. I was so happy, finally I would be respected, but I was once again crushed. Madame Rouge told me that she would be taking all the credit and that I was worthless. Angered I looked at her and said, 'Catch him yourself,' and let Kid Flash go. I told her that I was to be respected as Kid Flash ran away. She smiled, I had earned her respect by standing up to her. As she left, Kid Flash was no where to be seen, but a rose was. I went over to the good side that night. And when the Titans needed help in taking down the Brotherhood, Kid Flash came and got me and I helped take them down.

"After that Kid Flash and I teamed up on our own. As it turns out we both had feelings for each other, we started going out and everything was fine. Then Fahrenheit struck, of course we came to help the other Titans. After that fight, we all disbanded and went off to college. Kid Flash or Wally West at that point went to the same place I did, I was a business major and he had a track scholarship but was majoring in psychology. We graduated and moved in together, we did things that you definitely won't do till you're married Got it?" Thalia nodded again, her eyes wide, she hadn't heard this part of the story.

"But Kole lived near us, and she was having difficulty over mourning her Jericho. Wally had more time on his hands than I did so I told him that he should go and visit with her a bit. He did of course being the nice person that he was, after about a year though I was getting territorial. Kole was always around, flirting shamelessly with Wally, my gorgeous Wally. And the visits he made with her were getting longer, their relationship was changing, and so was mine with his. One day, Flash came to me and what he said changed everything. Apparently he had a think for girls with pink hair. 'Jinxy I did something real bad. And I'm so sorry. I had sex with Kole, I'm so sorry Jinx please forgive me! I'll never see her again!' The fight went on for days, but in the end I forgave him, he didn't see Kole again, which made me happy. But one day, I came home from work and found him sitting at the table with the saddest expression on his face. I asked him 'What's wrong? Did Robin beat you in a bet?' I joked trying to make him smile. I loved his smile. He shook his head and then said very quietly, 'Kole's pregnant.' I froze, that was exactly what I didn't want to hear.

"'Say something Jinx,' he said not looking at me. It took me awhile to answer but I did. I said, 'Well, you should be with her then shouldn't you. That's the right thing, you two get married and soon.' He didn't like that idea one bit. 'I don't want to be married to her. I want you.' It broke my heart, I loved him so much but couldn't have him, I may have been an ex-villain but I had changed thanks to him and so had my morals, well sort of. I knew that if a guy got a girl pregnant he should be with her to support her. There was a lot of arguing and a lot of tears that night. There was also a lie. I lied to him, I told him I didn't love him anymore and that Kole did, so it only made sense that he should be with her. He didn't believe me, he told me so too. I told him it didn't matter if he believed me, it was true and had to be done, and these were the consequences we'd have to deal with. With much reluctance he agreed with me. He left the next day, took all his stuff and moved in with Kole. The Wedding was six months later. I didn't go, mainly because it would hurt too much, but secondly because Flash had two kids to worry about, I was pregnant with you. He found out eventually, I told him you weren't his, again I don't think he believed me. But he told me something, he said 'I'll always love you Jinx, know that. Even though I have to be with Kole, one day I won't have to be and on that day you and I will be together so help me.' That was the last time we spoke. You have his eyes you know. They sparkle in the same way when you smile, that's another thing he gave you." Jinx finished.

Thalia was dumbstruck, "Wow um, wow. I don't know what to say. Gavin would be my…" Thalia wasn't able to finish that sentence.

"Your brother, I know I don't get it either. Flash tried so hard to make me good but he couldn't get his own kid to be that way. I've had a theory that he resented Gavin as being the reason why he couldn't have me and that's why the boy's evil, or at least tries to be," Jinx said examining her nails.

"That's just weird. I don't want to think about that," Thalia said wrinkling her nose in disgust.

Jinx laughed, "I think he'd probably have the same reaction."

"You didn't put a curse on him to make him evil did you mom?" Thalia said suspiciously.

"Hell no! I wrecked Kole's car but I didn't touch her kid," Jinx said appalled.

Thalia was quiet, "Did y'know Flash er, dad ever try to contact me?"

Now it was Jinx's turn to be quiet, "Yeah, a couple times when you were little. I hexed him the last time and told him to stay away and that I never wanted to see him again."

"Why? He wanted to try! Maybe he would have left Kole and had been with us," Thalia said hopefully.

"No, Kole got pregnant first, she got to have the happily ever after honey. I know I've thought about it too but it's fair. Not to you I know and I'm sorry I see that now. You could reach him if you want. He'd love to hear from you I bet," Jinx said with a smile.

"No I don't think so. It'd be weird," Thalia responded. Jinx wrapped her arms around her daughter.

"If you say so. So anything else you want to talk about? Boys in your life, shoes, make-up anything?" Jinx hinted.

"Well there's this boy who's following me around and it's real annoying because I don't like him at all but he doesn't get it. And today my powers freaked out on me so that's bad," Thalia said.

"OOhh a boy! What's his name?" Jinx said kneeling on the bed in excitment.

"Jude, he's impossible though. And weird, he lives with his brother but that's not what makes him weird. What does is that he's always standing outside my locker shuffling these cards all the time. But I guess I should be giving him a break, he saved me from the jocks today."

"I told you, if anyone messes with you it's okay to zap them and show 'em what you can do," Jinx said. "But I think you should give the boy a rest, it sounds like he likes you so give him a chance," Jinx advised.

"Yeah maybe," Thalia said.

"Y'know your powers are probably just maturing so I wouldn't worry about it. It happened to me when I was even younger than you," Jinx said with a smile.

Thalia returned the grin and said, "Alright, I feel better now, you can go home. It's real late anyway."

"Oh I see you're kicking me out now," Jinx said sarcastically.

Thalia was about to say someting but Jinx beat her to it, "I'm just kidding, I could spend the night though f you wanted. It'd be fun we'd mess with all your friends, especially Beast Boy's kid."

"Thanks mom, but really I'm okay. You can go home," Thalia said. She didn't know what time it was but judging from the fact that her mom was wearing her pajamas it was late.

"Alright, hey Christmas is coming up and Robin and I were talking about having a Christmas party here with the Titans East too. How does that sound? It might be a little crowded but it'll be fun," Jinx said.

"Mhmm that does sound good," Thalia yawned making Jinx laugh again.

"I'll get out of here. Night night angel," Jinx said as she got up to leave, "I'll just leave his number here if you change your mind. I love you angel," Jinx said.

"Love you too mom," Thalia said her eyes already shut.


Jinx smiled and teleported herself back to her apartment, her big spacious apartment. 'Damn, now I'm lonely.' She walked over to her mantle which was decorated with pictures of her and Thalia over the years. 'Two beautiful girls. Two, I don't care what people say, it's a lonely number.'

Jinx walked into her room, and sat on the black silk comforter on her bed, she opened the top drawer of her nightstand. She dug to the bottom and pulled out a crinkled picture. It was of her and Flash when they had just moved into the apartment. She was sitting on his lap, and he had his chin resting on the top of her head. Both were smiling widely. A tear ran down Jinx's face as she lay down on the large bed. She held the picture close to her heart.

'See Jinx, this is why you don't get close to anyone anymore. You get hurt.' She wiped the lone tear away and didn't cry anymore. 'I miss you Flash, and I hate that.' She thought as she fell into a dreamless sleep.


Well what did you think? I know it's kind of sad but I actually like it. Okay disclaimer: I don't own Lips of an Angel or X-men. Did you guys catch the crossover by the way? Well be on the look out for more X-people. And each chapter is now going to be named after a song that relates to it., sort of like a soundtrack or playlist. I might rename the other three chapters so they'll be unified or something. Okay just review please; I want to know what you guys think.
