Chapter 11 - Consequences of our Actions (Part 2)

Jinx POV

Why couldn't I tell him before then that I loved him? Now he'll never know. I'd be carted away and locked up, never to see him again. Not seeing him again was worse than being locked up. I clutched the necklace he gave me with both hands. It was the last thing he gave me before I was taken away. Now we'd never be together. It was the worst feeling in the world knowing that I'd never be with the man I loved more than anything in the world. He'd forget about me and move on to someone else I know he will. He'd move on to someone who doesn't hurt him so often and to someone who wasn't a...a jinx. The mark on my chest would remind me of him for the rest of my life, as a constant reminder that I nearly killed him. Tears were welling up in my eyes the more I thought about Quake...no Nicholas. I don't know why I'm starting to call him by his real name now when I couldn't before. I guess I couldn't bring myself to open up to him, and now it was too late.

Suddenly the two guards in the front of the van cried out, "Look out!" and I felt the van make a very sharp left turn. Too sharp in fact. The van tilted over to the side too far and fell over, causing it to roll several times. The three of us tumbled around until the van came to a complete stop. I must've hit my head because everything was fuzzy. I couldn't hear the guards in the front anymore, I almost thought they were dead until one of them moaned. All of a sudden, a hand punched through the back door of the van and ripped it off of it's hinges. I couldn't see the figure that did it, and as they stepped inside my entire world went black.

...5 minutes ago...

Quake's POV

This was a stupid and reckless idea and it could go really wrong really fast. I wish I didn't have to do this, but it had to be done. Jinx meant the world to me and she needed me to help her. I grabbed everything I needed to from home and left, a pair of sunglasses, a blind mans walking stick, and a balaclava (ski mask for you americans) to hide my face so the Titans didn't know it was me that did this. My plan was simple yet brilliant. Dress up as a blind man, and walk out into the street right in front of the van, making it look like an accident. If everything went according to plan that is, which with my track record, wouldn't happen. The van turned the corner a few blocks away and headed down the street I was on. Showtime.

I put on the disguise and walked out onto the street, right in front of the van and my plan worked a little too well. It cut the turn too sharp and rolled over multiple times until it came to rest on its left side. I was so worried about Jinx, she must have been tossed around like a rag doll. I put the balaclava on and rushed over to the van. I heard one of the guards inside moan, but I couldn't worry about that now. I punched through the iron door with ease and pulled it off its hinges. Jinx stared up at me through groggy eyes, then she shut them. I knew she was hurt and I needed to help her. I couldn't take her back to Titans tower, so I had to take her to my place.

I flew us over to my house and patched her up as best I could. She was out cold on my couch, her beautiful and fragile form sleeping soundly. She looked happy and content. After a few hours, she woke up.

Jinx POV

When I woke up I knew right away where I was. This was Quakes home in Jump City. I recognise it from my time here earlier in the week. How'd I get here though? Last thing I remember was being transported to the prison when the van crashed. He must have brought me here.

That's when I heard him say, "Jinx! You're awake!" He rushed over to me and wrapped his arms around me, and I could see that he was holding back tears. "I thought I'd never see you again. I was so worried about you."

"I'm OK Quake. You don't need to worry about me" I said putting my hand on the back of his head.

"I know but..." he started to say, "you're the most important thing in my life Jinx. You and my sister. I don't want to live without you." He couldn't hold the tears back anymore. He pulled away from me and I could see that his eyes were red.

I put my hands on his face and said, "Hey, don't cry anymore."

"I can't help it. I don't want to but seeing you carted away and out of my life forever..." He stood up, holding my hands and bringing me up with him. He continued, "I don't want to lose you Jinx, I almost fell apart without you. I love you Jinx."

"I-I..." I started to say. He just looked at me, waiting for me to say what's been on my mind for days.

I had to change the subject for at this point as my pride was getting the better of me. "I-I've never seen your face. I would like to finally put a face to your name Quake." It was his turn to blush.

He pulled away from me and said, "I don't think that's a good idea Jinx."

"Why not?" I questioned him.

"Didn't I mention to you how people in my school used to tease me?" I'd forgotten about that. "Most of it was on the way I looked," he continued, "the girls in my school never really saw me as someone that they wanted to be with."

"Maybe because no one ever took the time to know the real you." He turned and looked at me with surprise in his eyes. I continued, "I got to know you not based on your looks, but based on how you acted. The person under the hood. How you would sacrifice yourself for me in an instant, how you cared more about me when you were badly hurt, and...I think you had something to do with me getting out of the police van, didn't you?" He really turned red at this. "It doesn't matter to me what you look like, the man I see here now is the same man you'll be without your costume on. And it's the man..." I knew I had to say it at this point. It was now or never. "the man I fell in love with."

He just stared blankly at me. I snapped my fingers in front of his face to try and get a response out of him. Nothing. Did I do something wrong? Did I say it at the wrong time? Was it to soon? My mind was racing at a thousand thoughts a second until he spoke up. "You...love me?" It was like he wasn't expecting me to say it.

"Yes I do Quake. With all my heart."

Quakes POV

She loves me? She really said it? My ears weren't just tricking me into what I hearing what I wanted to, were they? I had to be certain. "You...love me."

She looked surprised at my question, but she answered. "Yes I do Quake. With all my heart." I reached over and cupped her cheek with my left hand. I slowly pulled her in for a passionate kiss. But when our faces got close enough to each others, our lips so close to touching each others, something flew towards us from the door and hit Jinx in the face causing her left cheek to bleed. I turned towards the door to her assailant and was shocked at who it was.

Ha, I'm so evil aren't I. They can't seem to catch a break when they try for a passionate kiss. First the floor gives way under them, now someone's stopped them.

Anyway, I'll start up another Teen Titans story when I'm done this one, and a second after that. Then I'll shift focus to my Halo crossover story.

If anyone has any questions about this story I'd be more than happy to answer them.
