Chapter one : flinx fluff and everyother pairing in between.
"A bachelorette auction?" she questioned taking the pamphlet setting her coffee down. Beastboy nodded.
"Yeah it's gonna be great! Awesome food, all our friends and best of all it's for charity!" he added drinking his kiwi smoothie. "Plus I'll be the handsome host of the evening." He said wagging his eyebrows making jinx roll her eyes and smile.
"It sounds great beast boy but…I'm not really into that sort of thing, mean I'll go for support but I don't think I'll be one of the volunteer bachelorettes." She replied giving him an apologetic look.
"Oohhh jinx! You gotta! All the girl titans are doing it! It wouldn't be the same without you!" he countered begging with his puppy dog-pout.
"Really Beast boy? You think peer pressure's going to work on me?" she questioned raising a brow. He shrugged smiling.
"Not peers pressure per say but come on even raven said yes!" he exclaimed. He smiled when he saw the surprise look on her face.
"No fooling wow… good for her I guess." She replied nonchalantly sipping her coffee watching b.b's smile dim.
"Come on imagine being adored by hundreds of guys! You know you're fan clubs have been growing." He offered, the hex witch shudder remembering the creepy emails she received daily.
"Yeah… still not used to it, its kinda weird." she retorted, beast boy just sighed there was no winning with this girl.
"So there's absolutely nothing I can say that'll change your mind." He inquired his eyes begging her to reconsider; she shook her head and gave him an apologetic look.
"Sorry B.B it's just not my kind of thing." She replied having genuine guilty look on her face, he gave her a soft smile.
"it's alright Pinx I kinda knew I had waaaay too easy when even raven said yes… but still show up it'll be fun." He concluded using her nickname to show there were no hard feelings. She smiled at him.
"of course!" she said extending her hand for him to shake it, revealing a rose bracelet Kid flash had given her for her birthday, beastboy's mind immediately began scheming everyone had a weakness… kid flash's skirt chasing ways was hers.
"That's great! Oh and remind Kid flash that it's at 8 pm, he was so excited when I told him about it, what was it he said…" he trailed on watching jinx's smile turn into a deadly scowl, he inwardly smirked. "Yeah now I remember "super hero babes down a runaway and out for the taking count me in!!" that K.F. he's always cracking me up." He said smiling as jinx look like she was going to exploded.
"Yeah, a regular comedian." She said in a deadpan voice laced with sarcasm. "you now what beast boy on second though, I think it be unfair that all the other girls had the selflessness to get up there and I don't after all it's for charity, sign me up!" she demanded too busy stewing in her anger to see the green changeling's victory dance.
"Super hero babes huh?… I'll show him! What I'm not good enough or something! Ugh men so completely useless!! The nerve of that- that- that IDIOT!" she ranted as she left the café, leaving beast boy feeling a little guilty for the speedster.
"Sorry K.F but it was for the greater good." He said praying silently for the light speed hero. "God be with you because no one else will."

Jinx entered the apartment too angry to even open the door with the key and instead hexed it open, she mumbled curses under her breath as she dropped her bag and headed to her room. Slamming the door loudly startling kid flash.
"What's up her skirt? Geez!" he commented heading towards the freezer, he noticed they were low on food.
"Maybe it's cause we're out of ice cream…" he mused making a mental note to buy more as he took out some ham to make a sandwich. Meanwhile jinx was doodling a mustache on one her many pictures of kid flash.
"That lecherous, useless, ridiculous idiot!! And here I though we were progress but no!!! He just has go look at other girls!! Well that's just fine, see if I care!!" she finished her rant after drawing the finishing touch on his photo by adding a matching beard. She felt rush of air hit her and knew he'd enter the room. He sent her a sweet smile while she gave him a deadly glare.
"Before you claw my eyes out… look I come baring gifts." He said holding up a bowl of gelato.
"Ice cream? She questioned her scowl still in tact. He wagged is finger correcting her.
"No my dearest it is Gelato lots better straight from Italy!" he said taking a spoonful and sigh in delight. "Want to give it a try? He offered.
She pouted as she stared at the bowl… it sure did look good, and so did the red-head holding the gelato why did he have to look so good in jeans?! He caught her staring and smirked as their eyes locked, jinx blushed cursing her inner weakness she gave him a final glare and snatched the bowl from his hands. He smirked knowing he'd won the battle.
"Now mind telling me the reason you decided to hex our apartment door and…" he trailed on snatching the doodled picture from her lap. "Did this …this blasphemy to my beautiful face?" he asked looking at picture in pity. She scoffed taking another bite of her gelato. He just smiled.
"I felt like it." she huffed glaring the gelato not daring to face the hero lest she hex him to kingdom come. He rolled his eyes shook his head.
"come on jinx how can I help if you won't tell me what's wrong?" he said in nurturing voice, jinx cursed his soft tone she knew he was giving her that puppy-dog look with gorgeous deep blue eyes of his, she felt tackling him on the floor and kissing him to death but the thought of him dreaming to do that with some other girl haunted her even more. She sent him a venomous look.
"Who said I wanted your help?" she hissed in an icy voice, he jump in surprise not expecting that to be her response.
"Whoa easy on the acid! Got some in my eye!" he replied hurt by her tone rubbing his eye mockingly. She just frowned.
"Listen K.F. I just want to be alone for awhile okay?!" she demanded. He sighed knowing when jinx was in one of her moods no one could do anything. Hr grudgingly nodded.
"Alright babe if that's what you really want." He lean in to kiss her head but she moved at the last second, he felt pained by her with drawl but said nothing.
"Yeah it is." She replied her voice no longer hateful just weak. He headed for door but paused before heading out the door.
"Jinx…" he called out getting her to look up at him, she saw his sky blue eyes filled with confusion and hurt.
"Yeah?" she replied meekly not meeting his gaze.
"I love you." He said before disappearing out the door.
She hugged her pillow when she heard the door close. She shut her eyes in frustration. She loved him too but it always hurt so much when he was flirting with other girls, the whole point of a relationship is to be faithful to the other person… okay so he never cheated on her but still!! She was a very insecure person she never felt good enough for anything, let alone someone like kid flash. She growled into the pillow. Why was she curse with such bad luck, she found the guy of her dreams but he's a skirt chaser…*sigh*
"At least he isn't villain…baby steps jinx…baby steps." She told herself.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Trust me man, girls just have their pms-ing moments don't let it eat at you." Speedy comforted over the communicator. Kid flash just sighed.
"Yeah I know but I mean just outta the blue like that! Something gotta be wrong!!" He countered voicing his concern for his pink mistress.
"Maybe she caught you flirting with Argent at one of the meetings or saw the e-mails you're getting from your fan clubs; you know little things like that set girls like jinx off." Speedy reasoned trying to calm his friend.
"No it couldn't been that, I behaved during the last meeting we've had and I change my password weekly so she doesn't snoop." Kid flash replied. Speedy gave him a look of disbelief.
"Soo…let me get this straight you're not only whipped, you're under house-arrest!! Every week my god! Paranoid much!" speedy taunted, kid flash sent him a glare.
"Look I do what I have to so that my relationship with the girl of my dreams work okay! Cutting back on the flirting isn't going to hurt anyone and as for the e-mail it's best she doesn't read them, it's a bunch star-struck girls pouring out their unrequited love it's sad but in all honesty can ya blame them?" he said smoothing out his hair, speedy just rolled his eyes.
"Umm yes! Look I understand you just want her to be happy but there some times when space and time is all a girl really needs, okay?" speedy advised. Kid flash nodded.
"Okay…so you coming to the bachelorette auction?" kid flash asked wearing a sly smile, speedy smirked.
"Wouldn't miss it for the worl-. *BEEP, BEEP *" Speedy's communicator alarm went going off, the archer groaned. Kid flashed shook his head and chuckled.
"Duty calls huh?" he asked.
"You know it, see ya K.F." speedy replied breaking the connection to get the police report info.
Drug lord "Danny the King" being targeted by Cheshire, has to be stopped Danny's testifying tomorrow, wait for the coordinates.
Speedy smiled devilishly at the mention of his favorite villain.
"She just can't stay away." He said in sultry voice, he flipped open his communicator.
"On my way Bee, tell water boy and the terrible twosome to hold on." He said grabbing his bow.
"Make it quick! You know she's a handful!" his leader demanded. He smirked.
"Just my type" he whispered, Bee narrowed her eyes.
"What you say?" she questioned scowled, he sweatdropped.
"Uh nothing! See ya Bee." He replied shutting the communicator. He took a breath of relief.
"You're not the only with girl problems K.F." he commented heading out the window.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Senorita Bumble bee!!" mas and menos cried out as they watched their leader get flung across the alley; she hit the brick wall painfully letting a shout follow.
"Forget about me get that assassin!!" she shouted trying to stand, the twins nodded heading towards the masked girl. They cried out their signature battle cry "Mas y Menos si podemos!!" and launched towards her, she tossed them aside using her hair. She headed toward aqualad who was protecting the drug lord. They managed to keep slowing her down but not enough, and bumble bee was still woozy.
"She's a monster!! I though you guys were super heroes!!" Danny complained hiding in fear. Aqualad sent him glare.
"Just shut up and hide behind me like a good little snitch." He snipped shutting the man's mouth.
Cheshire had a way of making her opponents feel not only weak but cornered her version of a cat and mouse game. Aqualad felt extremely vulnerable at moment no marine life or water in sight… oh well thank Neptune for super strength and agility. She'd finally reached him and launched vigorously toward the hero.
"ugh!!" he grunted as he blocked sharp kick from the assassin, she flipped over and tried to hit him with her hair, he dodged by the skin of his teeth, Cheshire unleashed her poisoned claws ready to strike when a speeding arrow narrowly missed her, she back flipped away from aqualad and looked to roof top to see her favorite hero.
"Happy to see me!!" he shouted stringing his bow with more arrows. Cheshire bared her claws showing him, she was itching for a fight. Aqualad noting her distraction rushed the drug lord away. Bumble bee was finally up with twin right behind her.
"Yo pretty boy could've used you a few minutes ago!" bee voiced in annoyed tone, flying towards him. Cheshire threw needles towards her, bee shrunk down dodging them all.
"You wanna play girl, let's play" she said charging up her stingers. Mas and Menos headed towards the assassin, she shot more needles but their speed was too much. She did multiple cartwheels trying to dodge bumble bee's shocks, only to be tripped by the twins, she hissed in pain as hit the pavement painfully.
"Individually you're handful…" aqualad started looking down at her. The twin sped towards her helping aqualad surround her.
"Pero cuando estamos juntos… (But when we're together)." The twin added, as bumbled flew down to join them.
"…you're easy picking!" Bee finished. Speedy readied his electric net arrow on his bow.
"Sorry babe game over!" he said releasing the arrow and having the super villainess entrapped. She tried to stand only to be shocked. She cried out in pain having thousand of volts of energy traveling through her.
"I wouldn't do that a second time if I were you." Aqualad advised. "Kid kilowatt helped speedy design that, there's no way you're getting out." Cheshire gave grunt frustration.
Speedy pouted. "You couldn't just let me look super awesome for a minute or two could you?!" he demanded.
"You shouldn't take credit for other people's work." Aqualad countered.
"What!!? I designed it he helped!!!" speedy countered childishly. Bee just shook her head and sighed, the twins did the same as they took Danny away.
"Exactly which means he deserves credit!!!"Aqualad retorted. They continued to argue until they heard something….it was…it was laughter, and not just anyone's Cheshire's laughter, the assassin was really laughing and at them no less.
"You think that shocked messed up her brain?" aqualad asked ceasing his debate with speedy.
"I think anyone would laugh at the fact two supposed super heroes were acting like 5 yr olds." Bee taunted. Both boys scowled.
"Thanks Bee you're the sweetest." Speedy replied sarcastically. "Anyways let's get Giggles here to jail." He said kneeling toward the girl.
"No tricks Cheshire you're surrounded and it's over." He started leaning closer.
"Anata wa kawaii desu (you are cute)." Cheshire whispered when he was close enough.
"Huh?" he replied not understanding her words.
"Gomen (I'm sorry)" she said lifting her hands up to embrace the archer shocking them both send waves of unimaginable pain through them both. Speedy shouted in pain while the assassin bit her lip.
"Idiot!! Why'd you get so close!!!" aqualad shouted.
"Speedy!!! No! Hold on!" bumble bee exclaimed sending shock from her stingers to cancel the power of the net. Once the net was powerless Cheshire threw it aside, she glanced down at the hero by her knees, and she stroked his head tenderly.
"Keep your mitts off our friend!!! He's not your victim!!" aqualad demanded. She glanced up at bumble and aqualad and stood up.
"Dette Ike!! (Stay away!)" She shouted throwing smoke bombs trying to conceal her escape. She gave the archer one last look and vanished.
The bumble bee and aqualad coughed violently the smoke being too much for them.
"Damn it!!" bee shouted. we'll never find her in this smoke!!"
"Normally but she's injured that voltage fried speedy, she's probably going to past out any minute now." Aqualad responded.
"Yeah then how come I don't here and thud against the floor." Bee countered coughing trying to fine him through the smoke.
"Because…she's not normal." He replied seeing his lapse of forethought. "Let's get speedy to the medical bay… I'll see what I can do."
"At least that Danny is safe… he'd better sing like a canary at that trial or I'm gonna-
"Don't even say it; I know exactly what you mean." Aqualad agreed. Bee took speedy in her arms.
"Hang in there Speedy." She said flying off. "We'll be home soon."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I'm sorry to hear that Bumble bee but Speedy's a tough guy I'm sure he's gonna be fine." Cyborg said through the giant screen the tower's living room.
"Yeah I hope so sparky, but like I said keep an eye out for that Cheshire, if you here word of her anywhere give me a call I'm gonna make her pay." The leader seethed. Cyborg gave her a concerned look.
"Bee don't get too personally involved I know how you feel but remember we take villains down, we don't break them down." He warned.
"yeah… I know…just I'm still riled up I'll cool off in a bit, look I'll see you at the auction kay?" she replied.
"Sure Bee, see ya then, if you need help-
"I know who to call." She finished. "Laters Sparky."
The transmission ended and cyborg logged out. He stood up and headed towards the garage. He pasted by beast boy's room to see him practicing his speech for the auction.
"You getting ready Mr. Host? It's not for two more days." He stated teasing the changeling.
"Yeah well I gotta be ready for the spotlight!" b.b countered.
"How ready are you to see your girlfriend up on stage being ogled by a bunch of guys?"Cyborg asked. Beast boy just smiled.
"I'm not too worried Raven's not like that and anyway I was the one that practically begged her to join in." the boy replied.
"Getting pretty mature you little grass stain, Robin's flipping out, of course Star just had to bat her eyelashes a bit and he calm down." He commented ruffling B.B. hair.
"I guess I'm just not one of those over protective guys, I believe in Raven." He stated going over his speech.
"Good for you man… I know I'd got nuts if Sarah was up there…" the metal teen replied.
"Isn't she in the regular auction?" beast boy asked tapping his chin. "I swore I saw her name."
Cyborg looked he had been struck in the face.
"WHAT?!?!? MY SARAH!!! OH NO!! NO WAY" the hero rushed out of the room to call his girlfriend demanding an explanation. Beastboy just shrugged.
"I can't believe some guys are so over protective." He looked over at his night stand to see the picture of raven he kept. "No one will take you from me Rae; I don't need to freak out to know that."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Seriously? Wow… I feel for him." Jinx said in sympathy eating her breakfast, news about their fellow titan had reached Star city. Kid flash nodded.
"I was really worried but Aqualad said he's going to be fine." He replied munching on an apple.
"Good, speedy's a nice guy, he doesn't deserve to be lying in bed from shock burns." She responded. Kid flash nodded in agreement. A pregnant silence soon followed… jinx tossed around the eggs on her plate, eating a bite once in awhile. Her mind was on other things besides food.
"I should come right out and say it "kid flash I'm sorry for being bitch yesterday" quick, easy painless! Alright come on jinx you can do this." she took a deep breath and prepared herself.
"Ki-
"I'm sorry." He interrupted her; jinx blinked trying to register what had happened… "Okay not exactly according to plan."
"I don't know what I did and I'm sorry for that but know that if I did anything to offend you it wasn't on purpose, I'm sorry I did something to make you mad yesterday." He gave the most sincere look he could muster. She melted at the sight of those crystal blue eyes donning a guilty expression.
"Oh kid flash!! You're so stupid!!!" she said hugging him tightly startling the boy. "It's me who should be apologizing not you!! I'm sorry I was so rude, I'm sorry I didn't hear you out! I was just in a bad mood!!"
He hugged her back chuckling at her apology.
"It's alright… it's just how we all get sometimes, besides you're incredibly cute when you're mad." He teased loving the sight of the shade of pink on her cheeks.
"It's not alright!" she held him tighter. "You were trying to be nice and I- I totally blew you off and ugh! I am so so sorry!" he lifted her chin to be at eye level with her.
"Its okay, the point is you apologized, it's over. Jinx I know you have bad temper I should have given you space but something about you being mad just- just gets me raring to go!" he admitted.
"You're suicidal coming after me when I'm angry." She warned.
"I like a challenge." He countered kissing her lips softly. "And you're the best I've ever faced."
She smiled at his comment and felt hyper from his kiss; she shoved him unto to the sofa.
"Kid flash do you what my favorite part of fighting are?" she asked in seductive voice, he gulped.
"Oh please let it be the "kiss and make up" part" he begged. She giggled and nodded.
"Correct you win a prize." She replied heading towards him. "little ole' me"
The red head blushed as she pinned him down on the couch.
"Best prize ever." He said leaning up to kiss her.
"You bet your ass it is." She replied vigorously kissing the boy.
"Awl teenage hormones what can't you fix." K.F. thought as his girlfriend ripped off his shirt. "Whoa feisty… it's going to be a good Thursday."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Speedy groaned as he awakened from his dream, which a certain kimono wearing assassin had infiltrated. He saw aqualad looking at his vitals.
"Hey look who's up! How are you doing speedy?" he asked kindly. The archer scowled.
"Not good." he replied he tried to sit up but the pain was too much.
"Easy! You're not going anywhere anytime soon." Aqualad warned. "You need to rest."
"That's not an option Cheshire's still on the loose and you guys need-" he was cut off mid-sentence by aqualad's glare.
"idiot we need you alive more than anything! So lie your ass down before I strap it down with the restraints." The boy demanded scaring the crap out of speedy.
"Okay, okay geez touch love much?" he said grudgingly complying with the order.
"Maybe but it got you to listen." He replied. Speedy nodded.
"Touché." He agreed "hey can I ask you a favor?"
"Depending on what it is I might or might not do it." aqualad replied.
"Can you get me my communicator, if I'm going to stuck here might as well be entertained I got all my Mp3 files on there." The archer reasoned.
"Sure." Aqua lad agreed heading towards the other night table were it laid by the lamp. "Here you go" he tossed the archer easily caught it but hissed in pain.
"Ahh damn it… I really, really hate electrical nets now." He stated.
"Ditto, look I'll be back in a sec I got to go to the kitchen and get you some grub, stay here!"Aqualad demanded.
"Okay, okay I will mom geez." Speedy replied sarcastically Aqualad just rolled his eyes and headed off. The archer flipped open his communicator.
"Voice command activate." He ordered.
Voice command initiated
"I need a translation base for every Asian language." He asked remembering her tone to sound Asian.

"First phrase anata wa kawaii desu, second gomen." He replied trying to mimic her words.

He widened his eyes.
"She called me cute to my face and couldn't even understand it ugh! How are we going to have good guy bad guy banter if she barely speaks and when she does it's in Japanese!!" he demanded to the gods of the heavens. After getting no reply he just sighed.
"Communicator locate best online Japanese language learning program, hopefully a quick one." He commanded. "If it's Japanese she wants its Japanese she'll get!"

"This is a quick one!" he complained, he hissed in pain from jerking around too much. "Ouch…ugh at least I know what I'm going to be doing during recovery.

"PANTHA!! PANTHA!!!" The crowd shouted waving banners and posters demonstrating their immense love for the luchadora, at the moment she was fighting 4 opponents at once, but of course nothing scared the might Pantha. She ran towards on lifting him up with ease hurling him against his partner both men flew out of the ring. The crowd roared in excitement she raised her arms showing her pride of victory, the second pair of men headed towards her from behind she easily over powered them and pinned them down.
"UNO, DOS, TRES, CUATRO, CINCO, SEIS, SIETE, OCHO, NUEVE, DIEZ!!!!!!!!!!"
The crowd shouted the final number with all their vigor, hollering her name and shouting praises worthy of a goddess. The referee entered the ring and raised her hand.
"AND THE WINNER AND STILL UNDEFEATED CHAMPION IS THE POWERFUL, THE FEROCIOUS PANTHA!!!" she held up the championship belt in pride holding up for the world to see.
The crowd chanted her name over and over as she posed for pictures and signed autographs. She'd smile kindly at the children with their own mask resembling her own.
"viva lucha libre!!! (long live wrestling)" the children exclaimed.
"Bien dicho!! Viva la lucha!!! (Well said!! Let wrestling live!!)" She replied vivaciously, she patted their head and sent them on their way with signed autograph books. Her manager stood up and took a microphone.
"Please do not miss Pantha's appearance at the Jump city bachelorette auction, come support our beautiful luchdora!! She does this out of the kindness of her heart in an attempt to help raise money for a better the world by ending world hunger."
"Yes we have much but there many in this world that do not! Let us extend our hand and help our fellow man!!" pantha added followed by large cheers from her fans.
"well said, please excuse but pantha must return to her trailer, the trip ahead of us is long, please feel free to come back next week for her next match." Her manager announced, crowd groaned.
"perhaps a few more-
"Miss Pantha, It is for the best." He replied giving her an apologetic look.
"I understand Sestaban, my fans I carry you all in my heart, I leave you for but a moment please await my return!! For I will eagerly return to my beautifully Mexico!!" she shouted blowing them a kiss. If possible the crowd roared louder. Sestaban lead her to her trailer. She opened the door to see thousands of bouquets and fruit baskets. She sat down by her vanity only to have a knock on the door.
"Miss Pantha there is a man here that claims to be a friend, calls himself Red Star. The luchadora eyes widen as a blush crept up her cheeks.
"I- umm- uh- yes he is!! Please give me a moment!"she rapidly replied. She brushed her hair quickly and reapplied her lipstick. "Okay…Let him in!!" she hollered. The Russian boy entered her trailer holding a small arrangement of orchids.
"Umm hello Pantha it is good to see you…" he trailed on losing his word. "I uh- here for your victory!" he said nervously handing her the orchids. She took then graciously.
"Thank you, they are beautiful, I have never seen flowers like these." She said smiling; the Russian boy blushed and pulled on his collar melting under her smile.
"Umm yes they are not found in Mexico, but very popular in Russia, I hoped you would like them." He said avoiding eye contact. She emptied a vase and filled it with water placing the flower on her vanity set.
"I do." She said kindly. "As wonderful as this reunion is my friend, please tell what brings you to México?" she question sitting down on her chair.
"well after being isolated for so long I travel frequently trying to experienced the things I've missed, and I heard Mexico was a country rich in culture, wonderful food, amazing ruins and sites and… uhh beautiful women." He whispered the last part. She laughed lightly.
"You heard correct my friend, my Mexico is stupendous." she agreed. "I wish I could show some sites but I am headed to Jump city tonight." She said in a lamenting voice.
"As am I." he replied quickly surprising pantha. "I was also invited to this auction, It seem the more heroes show up the more people will too." He explained.
"I see well this is wonderful come with me to jump city we will travel together!" she offered eagerly. The Russian blushed brightly.
"Please friend I do not mean to impose, I am very capable of-
"Nonsense! You are my guest in my country I must extend my hospitality!" she argued he felt more embarrassed.
"I-
"There will be no discussion it is settled." She said standing using her "assertive" voice. He smiled rubbing his neck.
"I guess if you insist I cannot argue." He said pantha immediately beamed.
"This is great!! Come we have a few more hours before the plane takes off, we will go and enjoy some sites now!!" she said taking him by the wrist. Her strength gave her the ease to drag him out of the trailer.
"Wait pantha perhaps-
"It will be fun; I know the best restaurant for miles to come!!" She said interrupting him giving a sweet smile. He couldn't say no to such kind face.
"(Sigh) why not." He said giving her weak smile. Why he felt so charmed by luchadora he would never understand but what did know was spending a day with her in Mexico was a dream come true.

"Love please it's only an auction I'm not running off with a secret lover or anything of sort." Argent reasoned her New Zealand accent some what pacifying the pyrokinetic. Who was about to literally burst into flames from his uncontrollable anger.
"Don't even get that thought in my head!! Ugh see now it's in there I'm going to be paranoid for a week! Argent I don't want some weirdoes looking at you and paying money to spend time with you! That just send a horrible message and besides they have enough girls volunteering!" hot spot countered.
"But dearest it's for a good cause, think of how many people I'll be helping." She replied taking his chin making him face her crimson eyes full of compassion.
"Sorry too busy thinking of some unlucky bastard trying to get fresh with you." He retorted bitterly, gently removing her hands from his face.
"You act as if I'd let them! Love I can take care of myself!" she said feeling fed up with his childish retorts.
"I know that! But still-…I just don't like the idea!! Okay!" he shouted feeling stewed heat radiate off him, she frowned putting her hand on her hip.
"No not okay! I am not a child and will not be treated like one, I shall do as I please and I am going to be in that auction!!! Your paranoid jealously will not stop me from helping people who deserve it! Understood!!" she demanded crossing her arms and glaring, leaving her boyfriend speechless and extremely afraid.
"Yes dear!" he squeaked, the frown on her face instantly removed itself and sweet smile replaced it.
"Wonderful!! Now come I have to shop for a nice dress, can't be seen in anything raggedy now can I?" she said hooking her arms with his. He pouted childishly.
"But I hate going shopping!!" he whined. She rolled her eyes.
"I know dearest but who else will tell me how extremely fabulous I look in my dresses?" she asked teasingly. He blushed and sighed.
"Fine… only one dress Argent not ten like last time." He demanded scowling her.
"But love that was me holding back now you're just being cruel!" she pouted. "Please dearest for your lil' shimmer." She added using her given nickname He lost battle when he saw her sweet eyes.
"Five and that's it!" he stated putting his foot down. She hugged his arm.
"Oh love you spoil me so!" she chirped making the boy blush profoundly.
"Tell me about it." He said sarcastically as she kissed his cheek.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"beautiful!!" starfire chirped flying in her sequin violet dress, her beautiful lush red hair loose and flowing, she soared gracefully through the conference hall that the auction was to take place in, it had giant chandlers at adorned the room amazingly not to mention the decorations, the tables, and the live D.J booth.
"I agree this place looks great." Raven added wearing a simple black spaghetti strap dress, her hair up with a violet flower in it, and a sapphire pendant and matching earrings. Beast boy had trouble not drooling.
"I just checked out the sound system and as I expect it is absolutely state of the art! This is gonna be sweet!" cribwork said rubbing his hands together in anticipation while Sarah just giggled, she wore simple pink gown with white sash around her arms.
"You said it Cy!! And best of all guess who's coming over after it's all said and done!" beast boy asked tauntingly. The teen beamed when he was reminded the titans east were spending the night.
"oh yeah! Bumble bee vs. me in the mother of all video game challenges!!" he exclaimed. Sarah rolled her eyes and giggled.
"I just want this to be over." Robin stated in seething voice, everyone knew the boy wonder was not happy about the auction at all.
"don't worry man Star's a big girl besides if I can take it so can you." Cyborg commented gesturing to Sarah, the spiky-hair boy said nothing just glared.
"Well he's in a fantastic mood." Raven added in dry sarcasm. Beast boy nodded in agreement.
"Oh my schinikavff do not be so filled with the gloom we will spend a glorious evening part-taking in exotic cuisine and enjoyable art stated music systems." Starfire comforted landing next to her boyfriend. He gave her a weak smile.
"Yeah Star it'll be great." He said kindly not wanting to upset her innocent heart. She beamed taking his hand making him float along with her.
"Come my schinikavff you must see the view of the city from the windows." She said whisking him off not hearing his protests.
"Whoa star!! Slow down!" he said flying off hanging on to her hand for dear life, the rest laughed at how cute they were.
"There so sweet together they're giving me diabetes." Raven half mocked- half cooed with genuine smile.
"You said it." beast boy agreed. "But at least he's not all scowly anymore."
Raven nodded in agreement.
"Alright let's start setting up to greet the invites after all we did ask them here." Beast boy stated wearing a grin.
"Actually you did." Raven corrected. "But we'll help." She added noting his smile dimmed.
"Awesome Cy you help the D.J. if anyone knows who to work that stuff it's you." Beast boy said praising the teen.
"You know it, come on Sarah you gotta see it, it's incredible!" cyborg replied rushing off his girlfriend.
"I guess that leaves just you and Me." beast boy said waging his eye brows, raven rolled her eyes and smirked.
"Keep dreaming Beast boy, now let get these people inside the building or they might riot." Raven replied floating off.
"Hey wait up!" he said running after her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Absolutely awesome." Jinx commented entering the conference room in awe her boyfriend eating candy bar beside her, nodding in agreement as he munched on the candy. She wore a black skin tight gown with very exposed back, her hair tied down with a brooch and had on a black choker necklace with a bell on it and matching black earrings
"Nice digs." He said stepping in with her, looking for the table they were assigned, with argent, hot spot, wildebeest, herald, Jericho, kole, and Gnarrk.
"Jinx dearest here we are!!" Argent called out waving she wore a red and black gown similar to her normal outfit only longer, and the red fabric had sequins on it. Jinx smiled at her hand waved back taking Kid Flash's hand making a bee line for the table while greeting at the titans they saw.
Argent and kole stood up to greet jinx as they reached the table while K.F. greeted the guys.
"Jinx it's been so long!" argent said hugging the sorceress.
"Too long! How are you? And I love the dress!" jinx replied Argent smiled and did 360 turn to model her dress.
"I'm fine and thank you it's gorgeous isn't it! my hot spot bought it for me!" she beamed, the boy blushed waved hi quickly and looked away continuing his conversation with kid flash. Jinx just giggled.
"Not incredible social is he?" jinx commented. Argent shrugged.
"Nobody's perfect dear, speaking of perfect I adore your dress simple yet stunning! And back ooh tantalizing! Trying to tease that boytoy of yours." Argent taunted.
"Don't say those kinds of things." Jinx replied blushing red as a tomato. "Kole how have you been?" hugging the other pink haired girl.
"Wonderful! This place is so nice and Gnarrk is getting so comfortable with technology I could even bring him!" kole replied smiling, she wore a sleeveless crystal blue shimmering gown with matching jewelry.
"That's great to hear!" jinx complimented. "You should be proud helping him through it."
"Nah it's Gnarrk that does everything, facing his fears I'm so proud." She replied. Jinx nodded in agreement.
"Well ladies lets not stand here, back to our seats I believe it'll be starting shortly." Argent stated heading towards her seat and greeting Kid Flash.
"well helloo argent I was wondering when you were going to say hi, gotta say the dress- it blew my mind! I had run from London and back to find It." he joked making the girl giggle while her boyfriend glared and jinx joins in.
"-ahem" jinx interrupted giving him a warning glare. He smiled nervously.
"Babe you know you're the most beautiful girl in the world to me, I'm just making casual conversation." He reasoned smiling weakly.
"Uh huh yeah well try not to get too casual." She warned. Hot spot nodded.
"Of course not." He replied trying to wane her anger. "hey uhh is that beast boy I should say hi, wouldn't want to be rude be right back!" he said zipping away.
"You shouldn't be so mean, he's just a flirt by nature it's like trying to tell a bird not to fly." Kole advised.
"guess I'm buying a cage." Jinx countered smirking.
"I think you mean a leash." Argent corrected mockingly.
"It'll be pretty one with spikes." Jinx joked making the girl laugh.
"Black of course." argent added between giggles.
"Of course!" jinx replied giggling. The boys at the table just shook their heads in disgrace… nothing was sacred to woman.
"You two are incorrigible." Kole said smiling shaking her head. They smiled evilly.
"Why us? Nonsense we're as sweet as can be." Jinx replied sarcastically earning a laugh from both girls. Soon a sudden silence came upon the crowd. As beast boy was handed the microphone by the host of the regular auction.
"Shh! Look it's starting." Kole announced. Everyone set their eyes on the green changeling.
"Ladies and gentles and of course heroes and heroines thank you for waiting patiently for the latest addition of the jump city's bachelorette auction, the heroine auction! Where the world's finest and most beautiful heroines have come to be auction off in order to make a difference in third world countries were hunger is a crisis and must be relieved." He announced letting the audience's claps die down.
"now before we start I'd like to remind you, these women are not to be objectified, they are hard working girls that devote their lives to keeping this world safe and evil at bay so please be respectful, no hooting and hollering, cheering is fine and above all I'd like to remind you… some of them have incredibly strong boyfriends that can snap you like toothpicks without breaking a sweat but hey have fun!!" he said in extremely cheerful voice not matching his deadly threat at all. The audience was dead silent.
"Who else got the shivers?" Argent asked. Everyone raised their hand. "Thought so."
"anyways… please let introduce our first heroine of the evening, known for her tremendous strength, the lovely luchadora, the one the only Pantha!!" he shouted as she emerged from the curtain in simple black gown, a gold necklace and hoop earring, her hair up in pony tail. Many cheers emerged from crowd as flashes of cameras blinked on and on. Pantha posing each time. Red star was one of the many cheering her on. As well as kid flash.
"Whoo!! Go pantha!!!" kid flash shouted earning strange looks from everyone. "Big girls need love too don't judge!" he countered. Jinx just shook her head.
"This fine Latina is not only beauty but brawn! With an undefeated strike of 300 matches and several more off the ring! And she has degrees in fine arts literature, Mexican folk art, and music, gentleman what more can you ask for brains, brawn and beauty! Let's start the bidding at 200 dollars." He offered.
"200" a man shouted holding up his paddle.
"250" a woman shouted holding her son's hand who had a pantha mask on.
"300" another man countered.
"375" a teenage boy shouted.
"450" the woman replied.
"500" the first man responded.
"550" the another teen shouted.
"700" the first man shouted.
"720" The other man countered smirking as he saw the other one give him a glare.
"750" the another woman shouted.
"810" the teen countered.
"830" the first man shouted. The woman back down.
"840" the other man added.
"850" the teen replied.
"900." The first man shouted.
"two thousand dollars." The teen shouted leaving everyone in shock.
"too rich for my blood." Both other men agreed backing down.
"Well folks any bids… alright two thousand, going once… twice …sold!!! And the lucky boy get his dream girl, come on up." Beast boy voiced smiling, the boy rushed over eagerly as many glares were shot at him, if red star had laser-vision the boy would've been dead, he had tan skin and dark blue eyes, he had his long hair tied back by a braid in short he was gorgeous.
"Senorita Pantha it would be my honor to take you to dinner." He said in a suave voice, pantha blushed and smiled.
"Please the honor is all mines." She replied as he took her hand and they walked off the stage. Beast boy raised his brow teasingly.
"Don't get too cozy!!" he joked. "Now moving on we've shown our heroine from the south now let us bring our heroine from the north, please help me welcome the crystal princess of the icy arctic Kole!!!" he shouted as she emerged from the curtain, she walked down the stage waving kindly at the camera's. Jericho swooned at sight of her on that stage as did many of her admirers.
"This little lady is more than meets the eye, her acrobatics skills are outta this world, and she can turn into crystal a hundred times harder than diamond, boys some lady's like the bling this girl is bling!!" He said as she turned into crystal to demonstrate receiving awes from the crowd. "Not to mention a great cook, a wonderful care taker and let's face it the girl is cute! So folks the bidding starts at 200 dollars."
The bid was fierce it seem kole's fans were persistent the bid went up to 2,600 and it was Jericho who had won the auction. Surprising everyone including Kole herself.
"Where he'd get the money?" hot spot asked argent.
"He's got talent and a guitar do the math love." She replied clapping as Jericho headed to the stage blushing brightly.
"Whoa pretty unexpected huh? Well Romeo go get your Juliet!" beast boy teased pushing him towards kole, caught off guard he almost tripped but regained his balance; he looked up to see the girl smiling fondly. He waved.
"Hello to you too." She giggled, he blushed offering his hand. She graciously took it and they headed toward their seat.
"You just paid 2,600 to ask out a girl, who was right next to you." Kid flash commented. The mute boy signed something.
"Huh?" kid flash replied.
"He says "true but the money's going to charity… and try getting a date with her without gnarrk saying no" aww so cute." Argent translated then cooing at his cuteness. Gnarrk was pouting at sight of them together.
"Be nice gnarrk it's for charity and besides I like him." She said giving the blond a smile, his heart was doing so many flips he didn't even care gnarrk was shooting dagger at him.
"Awww" the two girl chorused while the guys rolled their eyes.
"I'm officially going to puke." Hot spot whispered as guys nodded in agreement.
The night went on Argent, Raven, Bumble bee, wonder girl, and starfire displayed themselves. The highest bid so far went to starfire which was 24,000 dollars. Argent highest bidder was an enthusiastic fan, herald had bid for bee vigorously, wonder girl had won the attention of many suitors but the winner was a young man named Terry that was a searcher at S.T.A.R. labs, raven highest bidder was…surprisingly a school teacher who was fan of her poetry as for Starfire's highest bidder lets just say nobody saw it coming…
"Wow what surprise to see Gotham's kallionaire here huh folks? Mr. Wayne please come receive your heroine." Beast boy said gesturing the man to rise. He went up to the stage.
"hello it's an honor to finally meet you." He said extending his hand, she took kindly.
"it is I that should be saying that should be expressing the "thank you" for your generous donation it means so much!"she replied giving him sweet smiled, he gave her one of his own.
"Anything for a good cause." He responded. " please come along Miss Starfire I will escort you to your table." She giggled and took the hand he extended. The billionaire was certainly charming.
"now ladies and gents… I hate to say it but this is the last heroine of the evening, please help welcome our last but certainly not least heroine, the alluring bad-luck sorceress, the pink princess of hex!! Jinx!!!" he announced as she emerged flipping gracefully across the stage doing multiple cartwheels. Kid flash spit out his drink in shock coughing violently.
"whoa easy there…" argent said patting his back.
"Wha- how- why is my jinx up there!!!!" he shouted. "she said she was powdering her nose."
"and you believed her?" hot spot replied raising a brow.
"what an entrance well as you can tell jinx is an accomplished gymnast, train in 13 different fighting styles, a cat lover, and of course a sorceress of extraordinary powers, lets start the bidding at 200." Beast boy started.
The crowd roar in bids including a few to kid flash's horror his friends.
"kid kilowatt put the paddle down man!!! That's my girlfriend!!" K.F. exclaimed. "you too mas y menos!! For Pete's sake Thunder I though we were friends!!!" they ignored his cries and concentrated on the bidding.
"it's for charity kid flash." Kole replied trying to calm him.
"charity!!shmarity! they're after my girl!!" he shouted with anime tears in his eyes. "my angel!! Why!"
"maybe it was a time you got a taste of your own medicine." Argent responded. "you're always doing this to her." The rest nodded in agreement.
"no! I mean…it's different! And she knows I love her- and I'm not on stage modeling for strange women!! Why!! (sniffle)(sniffle)" he said laying his head against the table. Jericho patted his head in comfort.
"might as well be." Argent said. "you're a crazy flirt and an incorrigible one at that."
"2,300 going once …" beastboy stated.
"Who!! Huh my angel?! Who's winning?" K.F. exclaimed to see mas and menos with their paddle high in the air. He growled standing up rolling his selves.
"those two are gonna-
"sit down." Argent demanded as red energy enveloped the speedster restraining him to his seat. "they're children for Pete's sake!!"
"children with 2,300 dollars if they're old enough to get money their old enough to get a beating!!" he said struggling to break free.
"will you behave you're in public!" kole scowled. "you want jinx to come down here and put you in your place." He immediately stopped struggling at the threat, jinx was crazy when she was irritated, he really didn't need the world see his girlfriend kick his ass.
"no ma'am!"He replied quickly sweating bullets. "I'll be good." He said raising his hand as if he swearing an oath. The boys snickered at him. He shot them a glare.
"and sold to the speeding twin's from Guatemala!! Come on up boys you're dream girl's here." He said teasing as jinx jabbed her elbow in his ribs. "ouch geez it was a joking." In the blink of an eye they appeared holding a bouquet of daisies, she rolled her eyes but smiled.
"what is it with you speedsters and flowers?" she questioned receiving them kindly as kid flash scowled in anger.
"no entendemos pero te dimos las flores porque eres bella." They responded with cheeky smiles.
"what they say?" she asked beastboy.
"they said "we don't understand but we gave you the flowers because you are beautiful." He translated. She blushed.
"aww that's kinda sweet in corny way." She said petting mas's head. "and I gotta a thing for red-heads anyways." They blushed at her smile, she giggled they were like little kid flash just not as cocky.
"los ojos the una encantaradora …nos miranron a nosotros, estamos en el cielo." They said swooning as mas took her hand. She looked up at beast boy raising a brow.
"the eyes of an enchantress have looked at us we are in heaven." He translated, the crowd cooed at their cuteness as jinx beamed at their compliment.
"what a way to wrap up the auction two boys getting their dream date, can this be any cuter?" he asked, the boys huffed at being called cute but distracted themselves with the sorceress in front of them.
"te llevaremos a tu mesa." They said leading her off the stage.
"I'm guess you're taking to my table." She replied, they nodded. "I'm so gonna need a Spanish to English dictionary." They chuckled at her response, they received thumbs up from speedy and aqualad and blushed. Beast boy concluded the auction and initiated the party that was schedule after, he cued the D.J. and the music began as the lights dimmed. As mas y menos plus jinx reached her table they received a nasty glare from kid flash.
"que estas mirando pequitas (what are you looking at freckles)?" they replied rudely. His eyes widen in anger.
"oh you did not just- you have freckles too idiots!"he countered. Jinx blinked not understanding what went on.
"you know Spanish?" she asked slightly impressed.
"enough to get by- wait I'm mad at you!!" he said frowning. "how come you didn't tell you were in the auction."
"des de cuando eres el jefe de ella (since when are you her boss)!!" the twin countered. Jinx glared at him.
"yeah what they said!" she retorted.
"you don't even know what they said and you rather agree with them!!" he shouted.
"you're acting like a child Kid Flash we'll talk about this at home! Stop embarrassing me!" she said looking around to note a lot of eyes were on them. His eye twitched…he…he was embarrassing her?!?! After all the crap she'd put his through meetings and press conferences! She had the audacity to say that!! Oh no! he felt something snap inside him.
"so I have to put up with your ridiculous tantrums in public but when I have one you automatically become the shy one!!" he countered sharpily.
"ooohhh vas a lamenter decir eso (you're gonna regret saying that)" the twins warned as the hex witch looked like she was going to bit his head off.
"are you saying you're embarrassed by me!!" she demanded.
"yeah you know what I am!! You blow up about every little thing and I have to be the patient one, I have to make the excuses "oh she's just having a bad day" "I'll pay for everything" or the every popular "please don't sue my girlfriend! Guess what I finally had it!! there is no excuse for someone to act that spoiled and demand others to act a completely other way!" he shouted only to realize…he really shouldn't have, jinx looked like she had just been slapped but felt like mammoth was the one that gave it.
"….harsh bro." hot spot commented.
"pent up feelings much mate?" argent added.
"well then I am so sorry to have embarrassed you so much, I guess should've known better…" she tried to hide fact she was about to cry. " but you know what? you never have to be embarrassed by me again." She finished tossing him the bracelet he gave her for their birthday. "I'm gone, I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow." She said walking off.
"jinx wait that's not what-" he wanted to chase after her but the twins stopped.
"ya hististe sufficente. (you've done enough)" they said getting in his way. He frowned.
"I'm not losing her!" he said moving them out of the way only to have them zip right back into place.
"please don't make me hurt you." He said seething in anger. They faced him head on.
"don't even think about it!" bumble bee warned appearing behind them. "They're part of my team, you mess with one of us-."
"you mess with all of us." Aqualad and speedy finished crossing their arms giving him a warning look.
"I need to talk to her." He said seriously. "bee tell them to stand down, please I love her." He begged with his full of remorse.
She looked at them twins and sighed.
"guys I know you're trying to help but… jinx can take care of herself…I'm sorry but stand down." She said giving the order. They looked her in shock.
"pero senorita bumble bee-
"I gave an order." She said trying to muster her strongest voice at the sight of their hurt looks. She shot a glare at kidflash. "don't make me regret it."
"wouldn't dream of it." he said dashing off leaving a gust wind behind. The twins glared at his trail.
"idiota." They muttered under their breath. The rest nodded in agreement.
"come on guys cheer up, you get jinx for the whole day tomorrow." Bee tried to comfort, the twins just stayed pouty refusing to acknowledge her.
"there's a sundae bar." Speedy added attempting to cheer them up. They sighed.
"si no hay chocolate algiene va a pagar ( if there is no chocolate someone will pay)." They demanded. Bee giggled at their reply.
"there's chocolate come on."she said taking them by the hand.
"ahh to be young and so easily distracted" argent commented in a nostalgic voice.
"I hope jinx and K.F. work this out." Kole said in concern voice.
"you and the rest of world that doesn't want to see that girl go off on a rampage." Hot spot added.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jinx sobbed outside of the building , trying to stop the tears and her heart from breaking.
`"that insensitive, idiotic, stupid, inconsiderate, -
"incredibly good looking moron." Kid flash interrupted giving her a weak smile.
"I should kill you." She said seething in hot tears. "go away." Her voice sounded weak in pained.
"jinx we have to talk about this." He said extending his hand. "lets go home, cool off a bit then-
"then what? I'll realize how stupid I was for liking you!! Hell for loving you!! What you said in there, I saw it in your eyes you meant every word!" She stated poking his chest.
"I…I did…but I didn't- jinx you have to understand I was mad I didn't know what I was saying! Seeing you on that stage all those guys looking you like, like you were theirs it…it just drove me insane!! I love you! I love you enough to be jealous of 12 year olds that don't have a shot with you unless they paid for it!" he got on his knees. " jinx I cannot lose you! Please, please don't do this to me."
She looked down at him in shock, his eyes begging her to listen; she swore she even saw them mist up. She wiped her own tears.
"Wally do we even work out,we're always fighting… I'm always so- I never feel good enough…never and it hurts….it really hurts to see you look at other girls." She said sobbing her words. "I thought for once you should know what it feels like but… I guess it hurt you too…" she said kneeling down to be at eye level.
"it was the only time I ever though I was gonna punch a fellow titan." He admitted he put his hands on her shoulders. "Nikhita… I'm sorry if I make you feel insecure… you are only the girl I love and it'll be that way forever, we all have our weakness girls…are mine, but I'll never be weak enough to give up the only girl that makes me happy." He reassured. "lets go home and talk about this, I want us to be together more than anything, lets just think this out." He said hugging her tightly.
He'd lost a lot of things in life, he wasn't going to lose her over a temper tantrum, she was his angel in every sense of the word, his reason for living was being a super hero but with Jinx he not only lived, he lived in splendor every minute of his life, she was soft and gentle with him denying her rougher tendencies, her eyes lit up every time she was him and he'd love to see that spark, she had her tough moments but that what made her human and at end of the day in his eyes she was perfect. He held her closer rubbing her back as she still whimpered now and then. He never wanted to see her like this.
his finger and her bare back made her shiver but she ease into the hug. She laid her head on the crook of his neck, he smelt like Irish spring, she sighed, leave it to a ginger to be so blatant about his heritage, she'd wake in morning always wanting her morning hug practically demanding and he'd give her that million watt smile of his and open his arms and of course she'd leap into them just get whiff of the scent… the idea of waking to an empty apartment with no Wally to hug made her heart sink.
"okay…we'll talk." She agreed, with her arms now around his neck, he stood and carried her bridal style. He pressed her against his chest, she looked up him and gave him a hopeful look, those eyes of hers, they always melted his heart.
"lets go home." He said tenderly as she held on tighter as they traveled at lightspeed heading for star city.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Loud music boomed through the room as the party continued, neon lights filled the conference room as bodies danced swaying to the beat of the music. Raven watched it all in silence with her boyfriend stuffing his mouth, he'd occasionally say a comment or two trying to strike conversation but she'd either nod or say a dead end response halting a chance of continuation.
Why did he stay here with her? He was a "party animal" as he called it, he loved to dance, he'd be the only person that tried to bring back the hustle in a party and actually got people to join along, his eyes would brighten whenever a new song would come on another chance at attention, he'd smile like an idiot dancing with everyone and anyone, chatting a mile an hour!! Azarth knew the boy loved it, so why be here eating a mountain of food in silence with her.
"why are you here?" she said finally let her contemplation out. He looked at her in surprise, he put his fork down.
"what you mean by that?" he asked her seeming hurt. She immediately sensed his discomfort at the question and sought to fix the misunderstanding.
"that came out wrong, I mean why aren't out dancing and I don't know leading a conga-line?" she asked his eyes brightened.
"duh cause I like it here." He replied picking up another tofuball with his fork, she raised a brow.
"you rather eat twice your bodyweight in vegetarian spaghetti than be out dancing and hang out with the others?" she said in accusative tone with her deadpan voice. He sighed once more putting the fork down.
"yeah is that a bad thing, I mean I'll lose the weight during missions plus have you tried the cake! Freaking amazing!"he joked putting on face of bliss. She just shook her head.
"no but I just don't want you here…just because I'm here." She replied sounding a lot weaker than she had intended. "I don't mind if you want to have fun." She said giving him a small smile. He gave her a serious look.
"Rae I like being here, I like being with you, dancing's fun but I dunno seeing sitting here alone - I don't like it besides I really do like this food!" he reasoned smiling his face covered in tomato sauce. She chuckled slightly and took a napkin, she grabbed his chin and wiped his face, he squirmed a little but he stopped when he saw her tender expression.
"I like being with you too." She replied putting down the napkin, he smiled at her and took her hands.
"good." He replied looking at her eyes, she blushed and looked down at their hands.
"so want me to get you some cake, I mean it it's the best stuff I've ever tried!" he said ruining the moment, raven sighed but smiled.
"why not but first." She stood up and offered him her hand. "how about a dance?"
His eyes lit up instantly and sprung out of his chair.
"WAHHOO!" he shouted. "You bet!! come on Rae we'll bring back the funky chicken!!" he exclaimed dragging her onto the dance floor. Seeing him beam like that, smiling so widely…one dance wouldn't hurt… it wouldn't hurt at all. She smiled holding on tighter onto his hand.
"wait a minute did you say funky chicken?" she questioned snapping out of her happy moment.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Pantha...umm hello I was wondering…" the russian boy started to sweat. "well you see everyone is dancing and I see you –ahem- have yet dance with anyone I was just wondering- you don't have to of course but if you'd like to dance." He finally offered with face redder than his hair.
"of course!" she replied hastily. " I mean uhh yes, that would be fun." She corrected taking his hand his face lit instantly.
"really that's great!- that is…uhh yes it is enjoyable- dancing that is." He replied scolding himself for being so forward. She smiled at him chuckling softly.
"come I believe we both will be having fun." She said leading him to the dance floor, he smiled shyly and nodded meanwhile on looking speculators were in complete shock.
"who else did not see that coming?" kole asked as she danced with Jericho, the mute boy just shrugged and twirled her around launching her over to her other dance partner who caught her with ease.
"gnarrk gnarrk gnarrk (I sure didn't.)" gnarrk replied. She nodded in agreement.
"when say love is blind they meant it." hot spot added getting his arm swatted by his girlfriend. "hey! What I'd do!?"
"don't be rude! I think it's sweet… in a weird way." She replied scolding him. He merely took her hand and spun her around.
"fine just dance while I'm actually up to it." he countered as she smiled at him, they dance together in sync.
"you love dancing with me don't you matches" she gushed he blushed at hearing his nickname.
"it's not bad." He admitted drawing her closer. " it's definitely better when it's you I'm dancing with." Romance wasn't his thing but he knew how to get Argent to swoon when he wanted to.
"oh love!" she sighed draping her arms around his neck.
"oh brother." Kole whispered to her partners as they snickered at the two lovebirds.

After reaching the apartment both discussed what had happened at the auction, at first it was calm but eventually Jinx's less tender nature began to take over and she began shouting of course Kid Flash took most of the insults in silence …even the ones that hurt, knowing she was in as much pain, he'd see her tears sliding down one by one like acid dropping on his heart, it burn not to be able to brush them away to hold her but in the mood she was in, it wasn't happening. After another half an hour she calmed down and silence swept the room. He backed away to the kitchen give her some space… and to let her see him wipe a tear or two of his own.
"I made some tea." Kid flash said in a soft voice as he emerged from the kitchen. he offered her a cup, she looked up at him as he sat down along side her on the couch. She took the cup.
"thanks." She replied sipping it slowly, she set it down on the coffee table.
she looked at the mug it read "ho,ho,ho merry x-mas" he'd bought her the stupid thing last Christmas saying it made her seem more "in the Christmas spirit" he'd bring it out for her every night during December filling it with hot chocolate and pink mini-marshmallows. They'd cuddle in blankets together and watch ridiculous Christmas specials only five years (and kid flash) would actually like. She'd tease him about but in end she'd just sip on her chocolate and watch how Rudolf helped save Christmas while he snuggled her.
"earth to jinx…hellooo." The ginger called out snapping his finger in front of her face. She scooted away startled.
"huh-what?" she replied snapping out her flashback. He gave her a concerned look.
"you alright? I lost ya for a sec." he asked leaning closer, she backed away blushing.
"sorry just a little tired." She lied, she shivered as a chill came into the room.
"you cold?" he asked as she continue to shiver.
"yeah this dress isn't really made to keep you warm." She replied hugging herself rubbing her arms. He dashed off and brought her a blanket in a millisecond.
"here…better?" he inquired as he draped it over her shoulders, she nodded nestling in the cloth. He resumed his place beside her on the couch… he wanted to say a lot of things but nothing felt right he fidgeted his hands nervously. The silence was slowly eating away at both of them. Jinx hugged herself tighter and tried to gather the courage to start.
"wally…" she began, his gaze shot up at hearing her calling him by his real name she rarely did that most titans just called each other by their hero names. Her eyes had soft glaze to them almost vulnerable.
"yeah babe." He replied meeting her eyes with his own, she saw how scared he was she tried to give him a smile but couldn't muster one.
"do I embarrass you and be honest… do I?" she asked sincerely, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked away blushing.
"Niki it's not that you embarrass me, it's that- and don't take this the wrong way, not everyone understands you like I do, so they get wrong idea, they think your being ridiculous or overprotective when your just scared and insecure." He responded in a kind voice. " but I know it's only because you love me." he said taking her hand in his, his skin always felt so warm to her, she looked at him as caressed her hand his eyes soften in a way that tugged her heart.
her skin on the contrary was cool to the touch, she placed her other hand on the one he caressed, the gesture encouraged him.
"I do love you … I'm sorry for blowing up over everything, for making you look like a fool…" she apologized her eyes watering, she didn't want to fight… not like they had, she'd never heard Wally yell at her before, those words sounded so real they kept replaying in her head.
"I didn't mean it, I was so angry, I was so frustrated I just said what I knew would hurt you." He admitted looking away ashamed of his actions. "I'm the one that should be saying sorry."
Jinx lifted up his chin so their eyes could meet, tears misted up her eyes as they widen in disbelief.
"so…you didn't- I don't." a lone tear escaped and rolled down her cheek, he brushed it away with his thumb.
"no Niki, I'm proud to be with you, I love taking you with me everywhere, you've fought a lot to change who you were and I always believed you could, I want the world to know you that your last crime was stealing my heart and that my first was stealing yours." He comforted bring her closer to him wrapping his arms around her. she wrapped her arms around his chest.
"wally … you didn't steal it… I gave it to you." She confessed as he pressed her against his chest, letting the last of her tears fall. He held her tighter tucking her under his chin.
"I'm sorry for what said, I wish I could erase it! I'm don't know what came over me, that rage! I feel like an idiot, they were kids for pete's sake." He said mourning his actions.
"it's strange right? To see the person you love smiling and laughing with someone else."she said in soft voice. He close his eyes and nuzzled her face with his nose letting his lips touch her cheek.
"not just strange… it was painful." He admitted. "I'm sorry that I do that to you."
He said holding genuine remorse in his voice, she separated a bit from him to see his face, she removed his mask, and touched his face with a gentle caress. He looked at her with a loving gaze.
"I forgive you and I know you'll still do it from time to time and I'll still get mad but… it won't hurt as bad." She voiced kissing his cheek and laying her hand on her shoulder. "because I know that you know what I feel now."
"so you're staying?" He said hoping he hadn't killed the moment. Fortunately for him it hadn't, she looked at him once more this time with the gentle look she'd reserve only for him.
"I don't think I'd get very far without you stalking me." she joked earning a chuckle from the speedster.
"determination is in my blood." He replied nodding in agreement as she smiled. He went into his pocket and took out her bracelet.
"I didn't know it double as weapon but the bruise on my chest confirms it." he said handing it to her, she gave him a sympathetic look.
"I'm sorry… I guess I got a little crazy." She admitted slipping it back on. She rubbed his chest soothingly.
"there, there I'll make it better." She comforted. He took the hand she placed on his chest and kissed it.
"you always do." He said giving her one of his famous smiles.
Ever since moving in with him, she'd become his nurse if anything harmed him, she was strict but gentle, she'd force him to stay still when he'd sprain a leg, or stay in bed when he got a cold. He look up at her reading a magazine while he watched t.v. handing him a box of Kleenex if his nose got too runny or feeding him soup she'd made with love…and carefully written out instructions (the girl can't cook for squat!) he hated being sick but loved those moments when she'd sit next to him, her pink locks loose from their usual horns, her eyes locked with his, they wouldn't say anything she's just give that smile he dream about since meeting her,"I'll take care of you…" that's all her loving gaze told him, she'd run her fingers through his hair and force him to sleep after kissing his forehead.
She'd become his support he couldn't live without her, he felt his grip on her tighten, he looked down to meet her brilliant pink eyes, they looked so surreal staring him with so much love, he leaned down on the couch and nestled his body into the cushion while she nestled on top of him.
"let's just stay like this…for a little while." He suggested he felt her arms wrap around him as she settled to get comfortable, her head lying on his shoulder, her lips brushing his jaw.
"okay." She replied softly feeling a wave of drowsiness hit her, what more could girl ask for; a gorgeous boyfriend cuddling you in your apartment, his strong arms around you as his heartbeat lulling you to sleep, surely this was heaven…
they had a lot of work to do on their relationship but at the end of the day on thing remained a constant…they loved each other…what more could they need?
