Well, my friends, this is the end. This week, I start law school and I lose a lot of my free time. Sadly, I think I need to take a semester off to focus on my studies and work on some original projects. I still intend to write more fanfic, but a brief break will let me refresh and come back with a lot better work, and hopefully some stuff that will be found in book stores.

This chapter came to me with a lot of changes. I lost my beloved godmother to lung cancer, I changed schools, I moved to a new apartment in a new borough, and a lot of my friends have accomplished great things. To Scarylady, my friend and reader for years, congratulations on graduating, I know you will help kids like Jinx and I honor you publicly.

I have a lot more to say, but I will save it for the end note and let you continue with the story. So enjoy!

As Long As You're Mine

Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine

--Wicked

It seemed like forever since he had saved the day. Wally had almost forgotten what it was like to feel the damsel in distress in his hands and know that he had made a serious and complete difference in the world. Sometimes, he ran faster than sound just to remind himself that he wasn't an ordinary boy. He was Kid Flash and once in a while, he got to save the world from total extinction. Now he was just Wally West, ordinary kid who lived with his aunt and uncle and cousin. It was maddening.

Wally knew he was being dramatic; it had only been two months since he had put on the suit and made the world a better place. He had been training hard, but he missed the actual fieldwork a lot. He wanted to return to active duty but he hadn't brought the subject up with his uncle. He had done a lot to answer for and he knew he deserved his punishment. According to some of his own fellow heroes, he deserved to be clapped in chains, so he supposed this was merciful. He also knew his probation still stood and one false step could have him de-masked permanently. So he had waited patiently, wondering if he'd ever return to that life again.

Still, life wasn't all bad. The birth of his cousin had definitely made things a lot more interesting. Little Margaret was the cutest baby in the world, and Wally had thoroughly enjoyed holding her close and whispering stories about what a great hero her father was. Even with the super-speed, he knew his uncle needed the help; Aunt Iris could only do so much for a colicky baby. This was his family; he had a duty to them.

Still, even duty wasn't enough to distract him from his biggest problem. He missed Jinx. He missed her smile, he missed her teasing and he especially missed her delightful kisses. They hadn't been allowed to communicate much as part of the probation, since they needed to protect her identity. He knew villains would be tracking her down, but he knew she could protect herself. He just had to see her again soon or he would lose his mind.

She was happy now; her emails were filled with learning how to be a sorceress. She was traveling the world, learning how to cast spells and brew potions and summon demons. She had been a terror when she only had her subconscious magical powers; he couldn't imagine what she would be like once she was at full power. It was a frightening thought.

"Day dreaming, Mr. West?" Uncle Barry asked, poking him in the ribs. "You still with me on Earth?"

"Yes sir," Wally said pleasantly, as he continued to wash the beakers for his uncle's lab. "I'm just thinking about life."

"You washed that one five times. Try and pay attention, my boy, you have the attention span of a toddler sometimes," Uncle Barry said affectionately. "I know you'd rather be playing video games, but duty calls. Besides, I enjoy the company, when you aren't drifting off in dreams."

"Thanks," Wally said, putting down the beaker and washing his hands. "Should I start on the filing?" he asked, sighing. "Or would you prefer me to listen to your lecture? I hear it's actually good this time."

"All of my lectures are great, you little scamp," Uncle Barry said, giving him a mocking glare.

"Hey, they put Baby Margaret to sleep; it's the best thing ever. She just hears the sound of your voice discussing criminology and she is ready to go down for a nap," Wally teased, getting a rag thrown at his head. "What?"

"You're something else, my boy," Uncle Barry said. "Perhaps you'd like to go for a run with me tonight? Just to California and back," he offered.

Wally grinned wildly, before hearing a ringing noise. As he bent down to check his cell phone, Wally realized it was communicator had gone off. That was strange. Wally hadn't heard from his friends in a while, being grounded and all. "Calling all Titans," came the response message. It was an emergency call and meant the baddies had reached a new level of badness. It meant it was "going on."

"Uncle Barry, duty calls," he said, showing the message to his uncle. "Can I answer the beckoning of it?" He had been off duty but now he was needed. He hoped his uncle would understand.

Uncle Barry didn't say anything for a moment before shrugging. "You've been eating a lot lately, I hope your suit still fits," he said quietly, poking him in the ribs.

"Really?" Wally said, shocked that his parole was finally over. He had expected to be told to go to his room and think about what he had done. "You're letting me go."

"Of course. You've earned it and the filing can wait. And get Jinx on this too. You'll need all the help you can get," Uncle Barry said, giving Wally a warm smile and tossing him his ring. "And come home in one piece, hero boy! Call for back up if you need me."

As Wally zoomed off to see Jinx again, he realized one thing. He was completely happy again. "I love you, you're the best mentor in the world," he called over his shoulder. Now to find the girl of his dreams and give her a big fat kiss.


Jinx smiled at the applause and whirled around. "For my next trick, I will pull a rabbit out of my hat," she said, reaching into her top hat. Becoming a stage magician was quite fun, she had learned sorcery under the very nose of people who had no idea that everything she was doing was real. "Hmmm, can't find a bunny. Guess I'll have to make one," she said, wiggling her nose. A second later, she had disappeared and a fat bunny was in her place. "Nice job?" she asked, appearing at the back of the stage. The place was packed, she was becoming a real hit.

"Let's give a round of applause for Zara, my lovely assistant," Zatanna said, climbing down from the catwalk. "Let's see if I can top that?" Jinx took a bow and ran backstage to her dressing room. She could have performed forever, but Zatanna had insisted she not tax her new powers. Her guardian didn't want to exploit her, it was a refreshing feeling to be valued.

She had been learning so much. The elements themselves had become her servants, as Zatanna had opened up a new world to her. Barry Allen wouldn't be able to hex her ever again, she could summon full fledged curses at her finger tips. It was her witchly blood, after all and Zatanna was the best big sister ever.

It was great to know who she was, a homo magi and with a family of people who accepted her for who she was. Of course, the ability to change into a demonic face at random did bother most people, but if she was in show business, people thought it was a costume. She had always dreamed of traveling the world and now as a stage performer, she had the chance. She had been through Europe quite a bit and now she was in Israel, enjoying the beautiful city of Haifa and ogling the hot soldiers. She knew better than to flirt too much, but she did have eyes.

As she began to take off her costume, she heard a chuckle behind her. "Is this part of the deal?" a familiar voice asked. "Been waiting for you for three whole minutes, you better make it worth my while."

"Wally!" Jinx said, whirling around and not bothering to cover herself as she let the dress slip off her body, leaving her in her underclothing. "How long were you going to stand there and let me strip?"

"I noticed you aren't complaining," Wally said, in full costume, looking like the idiotic prince who had swept off her feet and changed her life. He had gotten a bit taller but the smile was the same, he was the same guy she had left. She felt instantly better just being next to him. His punishment was over, she didn't have to feel guilty anymore. "Took me a few minutes to find you, Aunt Zatanna is good about hiding her tracks. You're looking well and happy. Enjoying show business life?" he asked.

"You got it. I was born to be a star, baby. I should have gone good earlier, I'm doing movie deals," Jinx said happily. "Hate to admit, kid, but you were right. Being good rocks." She whirled around and allowed him to eye what he had been missing. Of course, had he been cheating on her, she'd cut off all of his portruding parts and send them to Robin, gift wrapped.

"I knew you would like it if you tried it. But we don't have to flirt. The Titans have put out a distress call. We got a major villain infestation and they need to be sent back to their mommies crying. Want to make your debut into hero society?" Wally asked, bowing deeply and kissing her hand.

"Me?" Jinx asked, amused. "Are you sure I'm ready?" She was going to enjoy the looks on her former friends faces. They all thought she was dead. Well, she was about to make a comback tour for the ages.

"You've saved me a couple times, why not try and save the world?" Wally asked, giving her a wink. She liked the sound of that, she had a score to settle with Captain Commando, who had wanted her locked up.

"Of course, just let me alert Zatanna that I'll be out," Jinx said, closing her eyes for a moment. Telepathy between magical creatures was a charming bonus, she was really enjoying this idea of being a full fledged sorceress. "Excellent, she says yes."

"Wow, my mentor would give anything to be able to contact me like that," Wally noted, still giving her the look that promised that he had never stopped thinking about her, the look that she was completely and utterly adored by him. "Or we'd never have fun."

"Yeah, he's sorta overprotective, I hope this will finally prove I don't mean you any harm. Of course, I need to change back into my old threads," Jinx said, happily. "Have to look my best for my debut." She had been waiting for this for a long time and intended to make it a memorable experience.

"I thought you left your villainous ways behind you," Wally said as Jinx blinked her eyes and was instantly the sexy villain he had remembered. She had definitely learned a lot of new tricks since she had been a prisoner in Jump City, she was eager to show them off.

"Sides change, dear, but fashion is forever," Jinx said, putting her arms around her neck. "Now, let's make everyone stare."


Seeing everyone's face when she stepped out of the shadows had been wicked. She hadn't been able to contain her smile as she and her boy turned the tide of battle and impressed her. The look of sadness from Kid Wykkid's face had been tough, but she had decided that she'd focus on him later. Taking out Madam Rouge had restored her good mood entirely.

The proudest moment was when Jinx was handed a Titan communicator along with everyone else. She was one of them, she had proven herself and she knew Wally felt quite vindicated at the thought that he had known she was good all along. Seeing the look on Robin's face when she took had been one of the sweetest moments of her life. "Thanks, love," she whispered in his ear.

"You hurt Kid Flash or any other member of my team and I swear I will rip you limb from limb," Robin mumbled, but he handed her the communicator all the same. She even had her own room here at the Tower, to prove that she was one of them. She did plan to return to Zatanna as soon as possible, but spending a night here, making Robin's teeth grind was far too much fun to give up.

"Enjoying the straight and narrow, Princess?" Wally said, walking into her room, clad in his civilian clothing. His hair was wet, he had been selfish enough to take a shower and not invite her to get all soapy. She'd have to punish him.

Jinx smiled and took his hand. "So, Hero, ever thought we'd be kissing here at the Titan tower?" she asked, before flipping him and knocking him down on the bed. "I always had sexual fantasies about this place." She closed her eyes and slammed the door behind her magically.

"If you tie me up, you can even complete them," Wally said, giving her a wink as he stretched out helplessly. "No x ray vision here and Raven's out of range for empathy. This is a voyeur free zone," he offered, laying his hands on top of his head.

"I like the way you think," Jinx said, unbuttoning her shirt and climbing on top of him. Her body was as flawless as he had remembered, taught and smooth and waiting for him to explore. Wally had waited a long time for this; he was finally going to get what was coming to him. "I am going to ravish your brains out, and make you beg for mercy. I'm a pretty powerful sorceress, you have no idea what I can do to you."

"You captured me, do with me what you wish," Wally said, as Jinx tore open his shirt and began to unbutton her bra. This was the moment he had been waiting for and Uncle Barry never needed to know about it! "And I can count on you to be creative and make my day."

"TITANS GO, criminal seen on Main Street, robbing bank. Four heroes, please report!" came Robin's voice crackling over the intercom. "And that includes the occupants of bedroom C12, who might care to note that there are security cameras in this place!"

"Damn it!" Wally snapped, wondering if he was fast enough to clobber his idiot best friend with his own Bo staff until the prig begged for mercy. Doubtful, Robin was the Boy Wonder, trained by Batman himself. He could take down the Angels themselves.

"The door is magically sealed shut." Jinx smiled cat-like as her eyes glowed. The popping sounds of the camera lenses were music to his ears. "Now…where were we?" she asked. "Oh yes. I remember."


AN-Hehe, with all the angst, I had to give you some steam, no? So yes, they are going to do it and after all they went through, they deserve a little fun. It's not my favorite idea of teen sexuality, but it's fiction and hey, they deserved a treat.

So yes, my friends, this is the end. So as I said above, I am working on a sequel but for now, I have law school and two original novels which have some publishing interest. All of this would not have been possible without your wonderful reviews which made me more confident in my writing, which brightened my day during some of the darkest times in my life, when I thought I had cancer and had months to live, when I flunked the LSAT, your reviews got me through and I stand before you, a healthy young woman on the verge of some amazing things. This chapter is dedicated to you all, with thanks from the bottom of my heart.

This is a short goodbye, but check back once in a while for news on me, and more fiction, once I have a bit more time.

So live long and prosper, my friends. You'll hear from me soon.
