Summary: Part of the Drabble Series. What happens when you combine Jinx and the unwanted advances of a very touchy vice-principle of her children's school? Part 2!
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.
Wally chuckled. “Let’s just
say I can’t see him trying to pull any moves on any woman in the near or long
future. That and the vice principals office is going to have to undergo some
repairs for a while.”

Teacher's Pet: Part 3
HappyFace1886
Must. Not. Kill. School. Vice-Principal.
Those were the five words Jinx had
been chanting like a mantra in her head for the last thirty minutes. One-on-one
school conference? He was the vice-principal, not the twin’s teachers! What
could Mr. Perve possibly say to her?
Pfft, nothing. They had been
sitting in his tiny office for the last thirty minutes talking about absolutely
nothing and she couldn’t get away because that was rude and would cause all
sorts of unnecessary tension.
Sigh...
She was taken out of her thoughts
when her hand, which had been drumming the fingers quietly on the table, was
suddenly covered by his larger one. Jinx internally twitched. Not this again.
“-best for the twins, Mrs. West.
What say we have this meeting every week?”
There were over two hundred ways to
kill him that she could think of at the top of her head, three hundred if she
added torture methods. But she only listed them one by one mentally in her head
to soothe her inner beast. Jinx wanted her kids to lead a quiet, peaceful
school life, some place they could have fun and learn with the other kids. And
if it meant going through a little discomfort, then fine. At least Mr. Perve
wasn’t taking it too far... like suddenly coming around from behind his desk to
sit next to her very, very close as he was doing now.
“Mr. Perve, aren’t you sitting a
little too close to me?” Jinx asked flatly, wondering if this was when she
could punch him on the nose without getting arrested for assault. Hm... maybe
she could get away with it for self-defense because he was sexually harassing
her. Okay, so he hasn’t gone that far yet, but she could fib, right? She had
friends in high places so that would help her case, right?
...riiight, abusing her power and
connections, whoopee. She would just make herself as bad as those evil
businesses who misused their powers.
Sigh.
“Whatever do you mean?” he inquired
smoothly, watching carefully for signs that her will was breaking. He had
noticed her growing weary of his advances and it wouldn’t be long until she
slipped. And when he did... he would strike.
She gritted her teeth. “Our knees
are touching.”
“Yes,” Mr. Perve drawled out, “they
are.”
Okay, that’s it. Her patience, one
that she used on the mentally and physically abused meta-human children who
threw lethal temper-tantrums, was at its breaking point. The hologram keeping
up her image was threatening to waver as she felt her powers trying to leap out
of her skin. “Listen here, you-.”
The door to the office knocked.
“Not now, we’re busy.” Mr. Perve
barked, keeping his eyes on Jinx. The fire in her eyes was breath-taking. This
woman was most likely a wild-cat in bed and he couldn’t wait to get a sample of
it.
“The hell we are,” Jinx hissed
under her breath.
The knocking grew louder.
“Busy.” He snapped.
Jinx’s cell phone rang and she
thanked the high-heavens for the fact that she was very involved with her
school. It meant she was often busy and called upon for back-up whenever
something explosive happened. She pulled it out and arched an eyebrow when she
saw that it was actually Nightwing sending her a text with his alias. Since she
wasn’t an active member of the Titans, he rarely contacted her.
“Whoops, got to run, Mr. Perve. It
was nice having this meeting.” She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “But
duty calls.”
“Of course, of course,” he said
with the disappointment clear in his eyes. Still, he caught her hand before she
could escape and Jinx internally groaned. Man was this guy persistent or what? “We
can continue this later tonight if you wish. Maybe over dinner? I know this-.”
“That sounds nice, Mr. Perve, but
the twin’s father is here,” take the
hint, you stupid pervert! Take the stupid hint and eat it already! Digest it!
Absorb it! Become one with it! “And we have plans to spend time together as a family.”
“Is that so,” he said with a pout
and tugged at her hand, obviously wanting to pull her down onto his lap.
Instead, giving into temptation, Jinx let out a small hex to cause static shock
to run into his hand. He yelped and let go quickly, shaking his hand to lower
the pain. Mr. Perve looked at his hand in shock and then at her.
“Again, this was a wonderful
meeting,” she said sarcastically, “but I really must go. Have a nice day Mr.
Perve.”
This time Jinx ran before he could
get a hold of her again. Ugh, now she had to sanitize her wrist and the part of
her clothes that touched him. Actually, burning it sounded like a better plan
right about now. Buried in her thoughts on the various ways she could literally
pick the stupid pervert apart, Jinx didn’t notice the tall red haired man
sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting room as she rushed out of the
office.
Once she was out of the school and
in her car, she pulled out her phone and called the T-Tower. “You rang?”
“Yeah, just wanted to see how you
were doing.” She heard Nightwing answer distractedly. The rustling papers gave
away that he was in his office hard at work.
“...Dick, you do know that you never call me just to see how I’m doing.
And I never do either with you.” Jinx said bluntly with a frown. “Tell me the
truth, what’s going on?”
“Nothing, can’t an old friend call
another to see how they’re doing without being interrogated like they’re at the
Spanish Inquisition? You don’t complain when Starfire or Cyborg calls you.
Heck, if I remember correctly, you and Raven went to the café that opened in
the city and Beast Boy was at your school recently to help with the students.
And-.”
“You’re rambling, which you tend to
do when it’s not work-related but still something you were forced to do and
since you were forced into it, you don’t care enough to put proper thought into
it.” By now Jinx was comfortably leaning in her seat, looking at her nails
uninterestedly. “Spill it boy blunder, what’s going on?”
“I’m not a boy anymore, Jinx.”
Nightwing said, sounding annoyed.
“Sure act like one sometimes.” She
said, grinning when she could hear his teeth grinding. Jinx knew she was one of
the select few who had the beautiful ability of getting under Nightwing’s skin.
It was nice to know she still had it in her. “Gotcha.”
There was a pause of silence and a
sigh. “Look, you and I have our differences, but we do know how to get along
and I’m sure we... care... for each other to some level.”
“Sure we do. You sounded like a cat
coughing out a furball when you said the word ‘care’ and now I feel goosebumps
running down my skin.” Jinx mocked lightheartedly with a chuckle. The two
bantered and annoyed the hell out of each other, but underneath it all, they
did understand each other to some point. No one else needed to know that
though. They were better off believing Jinx and Nightwing hated each other with
every atom of their being.
“Yeah, yeah,” he replied in a
good-naturedly annoyed way. “Anyways, I’ve been hearing stuff.”
“About the school?” she asked
seriously, wondering what other sort of evil power wanted to steal her students
to make them do evil bidding. Or maybe it was the Justice League wanting to use
some of the kid’s powers again, not that she’d ever allow it. They were much
too young to get involved with something so dangerous.
“Well... it involves a school.”
Jinx mulled over her words, but
shook it away. Nope, there was no way Nightwing could have heard about Mr.
Perve. Where would his source be anyways? He hadn’t seen the twins for a while
and... wait... “Ugh, Wally. You two met up this morning, didn’t you?”
“Nothing wrong with an old
friend-.”
“Yeah, yeah, old friend meet old
friend and talk war stories.” She brushed away. “Dick, if you don’t tell me
what’s going on right now, I’m calling Starfire and saying you’re overworking
again and that you two should have a nice relaxing time off playing with the
students at my school for the next few days. ”
“You wouldn’t!” Nightwing said in
horror. Starfire was much more durable than him and didn’t have too much
trouble dealing with the meta-human children, but Nightwing wasn’t built like
her. When a child who could turn his limbs into stone tries to hit you with his
full strength and he actually succeeds, that shit hurt!
“I would.” Jinx said, her eyes
glimmering with amusement. Ah yes, tormenting Nightwing did have that
therapeutic side-effect of making her feel relaxed. “So spill it bird brain.”
“......Wally might have gotten a
little concerned over the fact that the VP at the twin’s school has been trying
to get a little handsy with you.” Jinx could practically hear the frown in his
tone. “And you should have reported that the moment that happened. Sexually
harassment isn’t something you should take lightly.”
Jinx rolled her eyes. “Of course it
isn’t, he just hasn’t done anything yet that merited getting too cranked up
about this. My stress levels might have sky-rocketed, but unfortunately, if I
report him for something frivolous, he could easily turn it around and make
things complicated.”
“What, are you saying that you’re
not going to do a thing until he has you pinned down on a table or something?”
he demanded incredulously. “Jinx, you’ve got to be kidding me!”
It was kind of amusing how
Nightwing was more aggravated over this situation than she was. And a little
cute. It was always fun ruffling Nightwing’s feathers. She chuckled, leaning
against the phone as she rested her elbow on the car door. “I can handle
myself, Dick.”
“Yeah, but I would feel a lot
better if you’d just punch his lights out already.” He grumbled.
“Oh? And here I thought you’d have
a lecture waiting for me about how I shouldn’t go around punching pervs like
him. I could already hear your annoying voice telling me how I should have
filed a report instead of resorting to physical violence.” She said with a
droll grin. “You’re losing your edge, Dick.”
“Never,” and this time, Jinx knew
he was smirking, a fact that made her narrow her eyes. “I think you’re the one
losing your touch, Jinxie, since I succeeded in distracting you for almost five
minutes. If this was a few years ago,
you would have caught on much sooner.”
“......shit bird brain, don’t tell
me Wally’s in there with Mr. Perve right now?” she hissed, almost breaking the car
door as she shoved it open.
“Maybe he is, maybe he isn’t.”
Nightwing mocked.
“I can take care of myself, Dick.”
Jinx all but snarled.
“Ah, I thought we had already gone
over the problems about a married woman trying to be too independent.”
“Oh shut up, and just for that, I’m
calling Starfire later.” Jinx said snippily and ignored his shouts of
protesting, disconnecting her cell. She rushed up the stairs and into the
school, almost skidding on the marble floors as she came to a stop right in front
of the vice-principal’s office.
Dread filled her as to what awaited
her in there. Wally was the reasonable one, right? Yeah, she was the crazy one.
He wouldn’t do something utterly insane like-like give the VP a mental
breakdown, right?
...ugh, she had to stop trying to
kid herself like this. Wally was as protective as she was when it came to
others infringing on their ‘territory’... even after years of marriage. She
sighed and opened the door and was glad that the VP secretary was out. That
just left the ominous door that led to the VP’s actual office.
She stiffened when the door to the
office opened and a familiar tuff of red hair popped into her line of vision. There
was a harsh scowl on his handsome face and Jinx stood there, contemplating on what
to do next. The dark vibe he was giving off was unsettling since Wally was
rarely in a bad mood. In the end, she settled with an amused chuckle and walked
up to him.
“Wally,” she greeted, her hands on
her hips with an unimpressed arched eyebrow. “What ever could you be doing
here?”
“Caught on, have you?” he inquired
smoothly, hugging Jinx as she walked into his arms. He walked forward while
holding her since he knew she was trying to take a peek behind him. With the
back of his foot, he slammed the door to the office shut. “C’mon, let’s get out
of here. The VP gave permission for us to take the kids out early today.”
“Oh really,” Jinx drawled. “That is
a mighty fine habit we’re getting the twins into, teaching them that it’s okay
to leave school early like this.”
“Unless you want to go home with
just the two of us,” his arm was around her shoulders while Jinx had both of
hers wound around his chest, the two walking quietly down the school hallway. “I
have no complaints about that either.”
“Mhm, but first things first,” Jinx’s
soft tone turned sharp. “What did you do to Mr. Perve?”
“Jinx,” he groaned. “Do we really
have to talk about this here of all places?”
“Fine, use your speed to get us to
the apartment and we can talk about it there.”
“...will talking involve make-up
sex afterwa-oomph!” she hit him in the stomach and he winced. “Hey, I’m upset
about this too.”
“I was handling it,” she grumbled.
“Yeah, by letting him get his hands
all over you.” Wally grumbled himself.
At that, she pulled away from him,
obviously incensed. “He did not have his hands all over me. Do you have any
idea how many times I wanted to hex him to oblivion? Ugh, just the thought of
him touching me makes my skin crawl. But still, I was fine on my own. I-.”
“Argh, Jinx, that’s the thing, you
don’t have to do this alone! I-,” he hesitated and looked around, knowing that
their voices were probably echoing in this empty hall. With a scowl, he picked
her up without warning and zipped out of the school.
Jinx’s eyes were shut at the sudden
wind slapping her in the face and by the time she had opened them, they were no
longer in the school. In fact, they were at the apartment as she had previous
requested they do so. When Wally stopped running, Jinx squirmed out of his
arms, but he wasn’t having any of that. Instead, he ripped off the holographic
generator necklace on her neck and tossed her over his shoulder. Jinx let out
an indignant cry, the brown hair flashing back to pink along with the green
turning back to her cat-like pink eyes.
“Ooh, West, you are not currently
holding me like a stupid caveman.” Jinx squirmed in his hold, but he wasn’t
relenting. She could probably hex him to let her go, but she wasn’t overly fond
of hurting him. Instead she slumped over his shoulder until he unceremoniously
dumped her on their bed.
Maybe she was being childish, but
she refused to look him in the eye. Even when he crawled on top of her,
knitting their fingers together beside her head, she kept her eyes shifted. He
splayed kisses all over her face before resting his head against her
collarbone, his body sagging a little as he sighed. “You know when we got
married, we swore we would do everything as a team together.”
“...oh god, not this corny speech.”
He ignored her sass. “I know I’m not
around as much as I should be because of the League-.”
“And that’s alright. I’m holding
the fort here so you don’t need to worry,” Jinx said, looking up almost
imploringly. There was no need for him to worry about anything. She had
everything taken care of so all he needed to do was relax and just be himself
at home.
“But I want to worry with you Jinx.
I want you to share your problems with me.”
“I rant to you almost every day
about the school,” she said with her eyebrows knitting together. In fact, she
had often wondered if she ranted a little too much about it.
“And I love every single minute of
it. Do you get tired when I complain about how Shayera and John should just get
together already? Or when Luther tries to do something stupid for the millionth
time?”
“Well... not really...” honestly, she
enjoyed listening to him unwind about the day’s trouble. It made her feel
connected to him and it was nice that he trusted her with these sorts of
thoughts.
“So tell me more than just the
school and the kids. Tell me what’s bothering you or if there’s someone
bothering you,” Wally emphasized the lateral strongly, the unhappy scowl
returning at the memory. “Especially if it’s a someone.”
“Well,” she began with a small
smile, fluttering her eyes coyly. “There is that annoying government official
who always comes to visit the school on ‘official’ matters when it’s obvious
that’s hardly the case. And that idiot sponsor for the school who’d always try
to visit even to our home because he wanted a more... personal, in-depth
presentation of the inner-workings of the school... Oh yeah, there’s-.”
“Jeez Jinx, a little popular too
much?” he slumped down next to her before he pulled her on top of him, his arms
keeping her snuggly against him. He really loved the feel of her soft luscious
curves pressed against him like this and he began to stroke her spine almost
unconsciously.
“What can I say? I have the same
magnetic personality as my husband.” she said with a grin, leaning down to kiss
him in the corner of his mouth, enjoying how his muscles tightened as he tried
to restrain himself from pulling her back down to kiss the life out of her. “What
about you? Do I have to make a visit to the Watchtower anytime soon to throw
you over my shoulder and slap your butt possessively, declaring that you’re
mine to all the bitches up there?”
Wally snorted at the imagery. “Well
there is that one woman, Fire, she-.”
“Got it, next time you leave, I’m
coming with you.” Jinx said firmly with a scowl. Like hell she’ll let him stay
up in that spacecraft when there was another woman who looked at him in ways
she shouldn’t be! Hell with Wally’s charming personality and his... ahem...
form-fitting uniform, there were probably more women drooling after him!
“And you thought I over-react when
others flirt with you.” He said with a chuckle before pecking her lips. “But no
worries, you’re the only one I want babe.”
She smiled softly at him. “And
you’re the only one I’ll have.”
“By the way, what did you do to Mr. Perve?” Jinx inquired
curiously.
