07. Speedsters - Flinx

Summary: Part of the Drabble Series. What's this? Jinx doesn't seem to get motion sickness anymore? How could that have happened?

I don't own Teen Titans and while I would have liked to have more development between Kid Flash and Jinx, I'm glad they're technically a canon couple and even got to kiss in the comics! 8D 

Please forgive any mistakes, both character-wise and grammatically-wise. I don't have time to re-read or edit things.

“Ugh, my stomach,” Beast Boy groaned as he flopped on the couch of the T-Tower. Following him were the other Titans who collapsed with him. “Why do villains come up with the weirdest plans ever? Who thinks of a super-duper-vomit-hurler roller coaster? There’s a reason why some roller coasters are illegal! ...even if some of them do sound pretty cool.”

“Hey,” Jinx said half-heartedly, already almost asleep on her side of the couch. She yawned and stretched, tired from the day of crime fighting. “Not all villains are stupid.”

“Well you’re an ex-villain,” Beast Boy replied. “Meaning you’re way smarter than them.”

“Thanks... I think.”

“How come you’re okay?” Cyborg asked wearily from the floor. Even Starfire, who could withstand perilous conditions like that of space, looked nauseas. “You were on that thing a lot longer than any of us. Actually, you were also the one who took down the criminal in the end.”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Jinx said with a dismissive way of her hand. “It didn’t feel all that fast to me. Actually, it was kind of slow.”

“Not fast?” Robin demanded, clutching onto his stomach before repeating incredulously. “Not fast? That thing was three times the normal speed limit! I’m amazed we survived through it!”

“Stop. Yelling.” Raven snarled from the floor, her headache growing worse with each incredulous shout. She held onto her head and it began to glow a soft white light that soothed the headache. Something soft brushed against her knee and she saw a little green kitten looking up at her imploringly. Internally rolling her eyes, she pressed her hand against the kitten’s head. “Better?”

“Much,” Beast Boy said with a green, morphing back to his human form as he sidled up next to her, snuggling into her shoulder. Raven shoved him to the ground by the head and he whined from the ground. “Raveeeen.”

“Don’t touch me.”

“C’mon Jinx, tell us your secret.” Cyborg continued to pester, poking the sleepy sorceress.

“Yes, please friend Jinx,” Starfire lifted her head from Robin’s shoulder. “You must share your secret so that we may enjoy the fruits of it if we were to meet this villain once more.”

“There’s no secret.” Jinx batted Cyborg’s hand away. “I don’t know why, but I didn’t find that roller-coaster all that fast, okay? And Robin, just because I was immune to it doesn’t mean I’m evil again and siding with the villain.”

Robin arched an eyebrow at the accusation. “Of course not. That’s a stupid assumption.”

“Not according to the gossip columns who keep raving about how every move I make is making the great boy wonder suspicious that I am back to my old wicked ways,” Jinx mocked, rolling her eyes. Robin was paranoid, but not an idiot.

“And you believe them?”

“‘Course not,” she mumbled. “Was just making a point. Anyways, stop badgering me. I really don’t know. Maybe I just have a stronger stomach than you guys.”

“Hey Jinx,” a gold and red blurred figure suddenly popped right beside her. Kid Flash kneeled on the sofa Jinx was on, leaning an arm on the armrest, a big grin on his face. “Missed me?”

“What do you want?” Jinx’s voice was muffled as she buried her face into the sofa.

“Aw, you shouldn’t sleep here.” Kid Flash chuckled before hoisting her up into his arms. “If you do, then you’re going to end up spending the night, and then it’ll make my visit from Central pointless.”

“With your speed, you could get back to Central in a few seconds.” Jinx mumbled, voice still muffled as she was now talking into his neck. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and she nuzzled against it. “...take me home?”

“You got it babe,” he said with a grin. “Later guys.”

“...well, there’s you answer.” Raven said dryly as the others watched with wide eyes, napkins and stray pieces of paper flying into the air with the disappearance of the fastest kid alive. “With Kid Flash always zipping around with her in his arms, it’s no wonder she found the amazing hurler so slow.”

AU: It was subtle, but that was a small dig towards those people who make Robin ultra-paranoid and a jerkass about Jinx turning evil. I can see it happening somewhat, but most of the reasons given are often weak and make me hate Robin... and while he can be a jackass, I don’t think he’d be that crazy as some fanfics tend to make him to be like. xD
