TeenTitans Porn Story: Ultra-kinky Lil’ Thing Chapter One

Disclaimer: Okay, lets get the ground rules set.

I do NOT own these characters. Marv Wolfman, of whom I am
eternally indebted to for creating Lex Luthors more modern persona, and George
Perez, of whom Im not exactly sure I know what I owe him, but its probably
going to be my livelihood if I dont put this here.

Sadly, I also dont own Queen. If I did I would make them
buy me something. Maybe all their CDs. Or at least Roger Taylor. So he can
perform all his songs for me. Yes, Roger Taylor, you will indeed be my slave!

Ahem.

I also dont own SF2 or any other game involved with the
Street Fighter Tournament of 2004. Nor any of the participants.

This time I owe Queen big time for inspiring me with the
song: Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Have fun, byyyye.

Crazy Little Thing

There was a time when love was only real in fairy tales.
But, then again, there was also a time when The Monkees were thought to
actually know how to sing and play instruments. Love is real! You need only
apply. It usually takes a decade to finally come through (Love is a
bureaucracy), but usually it got through.

There was also a time when star-crossed love just never
worked out without a poorly implemented plan. Love is just a frightening thing.
No one knows how to handle it. In fact, Cyborg thought, he simply must get
round to it.

But he aint ready. (Ready, Freddie?)

Loves just plain crazy.

It had been a week since he had fallen in love. He wasnt
sure how it happened, but he had fallen on top of a poor girls leg and
stumbled into love (and ghosts, but you tend to ignore the bad things. It may
have been pouring rain in mid-November, and the trees could be barren and ugly,
but when you ask a married couple how they met, its bound to involve
Spring-time and flowers and the sun shining above). There was a major problem
and it had put off their first real date for the past week. In the world of
Heroism and Villainy each side is constantly working to thwart the other. There
is a balance that must be maintained by constant vigilance by one and constant
planning by the other.

It was in a state of constant vigilance that Jinx was
currently caught up on. Disabled as she was, her purple cast (Three signatures:
I coulda fixed you up Gizmo, Get Gooder Suun Mammoth, who had failed
Spelling in Kindergarten by being too inventive with the letter E, and one
thats simply signed Smile for me, Pussycat) made an excellent doorstop, and
she was constantly making sure no one was snooping on their top-secret plans.
Currently, they were on the topic of laundry.

We got a week of laundry, no thanks to you, Jinx, Gizmo
said, angrily,

What? You expect me to do your laundry for you? Jinx said,
Im a woman, not a maid,

Whats the difference? Mammoth asked Gizmo, aside. Gizmo
just shrugged.

Look, go out to the Laundromat and get our clothes washed,
Gizmo said, tossing a bag to Jinx. She caught it, but her crutches fell as she
did and she landed flat on her bum. She eyed Gizmo,

Im going to kill you. It may not be today, it may not even
be tomorrow, but one of these days, she managed to get back to her feet and
picked up her crutches. Without a word of complaint she left the small, dismal
hideout. She did utter a word of warning to Gizmo, Watch your back.

***********************************

Raven wanted to kill Cyborg.

This wasnt exactly news, but it may explain why she had
left the living room. Sitting around the Television was Robin, who was playing
a video game with Beast Boy, who sat besides Starfire, who happily clapped and
cheered them on. Cyborg sat a bit distant from the rest, listening to a CD
player. A, C, D, C, B, G, there was a veritable alphabet of music tossed aside.
He was listening to any and all love ballads he could find.

It had really irritated Raven. Cyborg didnt seem to notice.
He just listened to How To Fall In Love Pt 1 and sighed dreamily. That was
most disturbing. Cyborg was known as the steel-cold brawn of the team with a
chewy nougat center of goofiness. However, this was pushing it. Robin paused
the game, much to Beast Boys chagrin (Universal Law of Gaming #21: If youre
EVER winning, someone is going to pause the game). He walked over to Cyborg and
sat down, Whats up?

Hm, stuff,

Yeah, stuff huh? Robin said, Still missing your Kitty
Cat? he teased. He got a punch in the shoulder that wasnt so much teasing as
angry. It hurt, Geez, sorry. I told you it wasnt going to be easy, didnt I?

Beast Boy and Starfire watched them as though they were
talking another language. They both had separately incredulous reactions to the
scene, Perhaps it is just my imagination, or I recall Cyborg saying that he is
not exactly a cat-person?

Dude, you got a girlfriend?

Robin and Cyborg looked to each other and both nodded.
Theyd talk about this somewhere where no one else ever showed up. And thus
they ended up in the Training Center. That was a close one, Cyborg said,
Little man, if you ever tell them that me and Jinx are an item I am so going
to punch your head off,

Hey, fairs fair, Robin said, shrugging, Sorry about
that. I didnt think,

Youre right, you didnt. Cyborg growled. He looked idly at
his arm, She said shed call as soon as she could. That could mean months.
Shes still not mobile,

Yeah, I know. Look, Cyborg, he tried to think of a way of
telling Cyborg there could be a chance that shed never call. (Some options
that had presented themselves were: You know how sometimes you say youre
going to beat me in a video game and Dude. Shes not calling. Both of them
related the point, neither of them left much room for Robin leaving that room
alive).P As he was about to speak, there
was a sudden sensation of ringing. Like all cell-phones, Cyborgs arm-phone had
developed a talent for making an annoying racket whenever it rang. It changed
it depending on its mood, and right now it was playing Love Is In The Air.

They both stared at it through the ringing. They didnt know
exactly what to do. It could be Jinx, or it could be a salesperson (Universal
Law of Gaming #24: The game will all ways be paused for salespeople.) Then came
the answering machine. Oh for the love of Pick up, you stupid tin-man. Its
ME! They both stared at each other, thinking the exact same thing. (Oh. My.
God.) Cyborg answered, Jinx? That really you?

Yeah, its really me. What took you so long to answer?

Um, just talking with Robin,

Ooh, could you give me his little utility belt, it goes
perfect with my dress, she said. Cyborg shrugged, No, no. Dont tell him its
me,

Right, Cyborg said. He didnt want to explain to her that
Robin was standing right next to him. He just glared at the bird-boy, telling
him to shut up wordlessly, Whats the good word?

Im on laundry duty,

Thats not good news, Cyborg said, Ive been on laundry
duty way too much around here. I sometimes have nightmares about it,

Dont you get it? Im out in the city without those two
goons watching my every move, Jinx explained, Im sure they wont mind me
running a bit late on account of my broken limb and a few traffic accidents,

Youd better not, Cyborg threatened, Or I may not come,

Fine, she pouted, Meet me at the Main Street Laundromat.
Ill be the one with the purple cast on her foot,

And the bad wig,

Shut up.

Nope. See you, he said. He looked to Robin and flashed him
a one-up. Robin winked and returned the gesture. This was just too weird to do
anything else about besides go along with it.

*************************************

Main Street was crowded this time in the morning. However,
when youre a hulking mass of metal that became little to no problem. People
moved aside when those bionic limbs stepped next to them. People ducked into
corners in fear of being crushed. When youre Cyborg, a walk on Main Street
early in the morning became like a walk in the red light district when youre
wearing a police uniform (Or if you happen to be the husband of a hooker. It
happens with frightening regularity in Germany).

The Main Street Laundromat was also busy. People eager to
begin their days wearing clean clothes were there in dirty clothes washing
their other clothes so that they could change and then wash their dirty
clothes. Jinx sat by a washing machine, reading a magazine idly as she waited.
Cyborg wanted to surprise her somehow. He snuck up besides her and sat down,
Its not going to work, she said calmly, licking her finger and turning the
page.

Cant you let me have a bit of fun? Cyborg complained,

You can put your arm around me if you want, she offered,
turning the page, Or we could go out on the town and leave the boys clothes
to be stolen,

Something worn by Mammoth, that aint going to be stolen,

I suppose its too much to hope for, Jinx said, But Id
like to see them go shopping for new clothes for a change,

Cyborg smirked, We could burn them,

Yeah, Jinx said, We could, but but, I think just having
a normal date would be a bit preferable. Burning things is a second date
thing,

What other things are second date things with you?

Oh, you know, typical villain stuff. Holding hostages with
an impossibly high ransom, hijacking busses, toying with my enemys sexual
frustrations, (This was actually a lesson in school for girls only. Typhoid
Mary was a very good lecturer) she shrugged, You know, the fun stuff,

Sounds great, he only hoped she was joking, So, when do I
meet the overprotective big brother?

He all ready hates you. And so does the snot-nosed kid
brother,

You know, one of these days Ill find your hideout and come
asking for you with flowers, just to see how theyd react,

Theyd try and kill you,

Thatd fail,

Well, duh, Jinx said, But I dont think we need to risk
our hospital bill getting bigger by putting them in full-body casts,

Good point, Cyborg said, So, should I carry you, or are
you used to those crutches now?

Very funny, Jinx said. She had initially had a bit of difficulty
moving around with crutches, and whenever she fell somewhere in the hospital,
she was sure to have Cyborg there to carry her back to her bed. She actually
didnt have too much trouble after the first three attempts, but she
purposefully slipped to make sure Cyborg would be there to catch her. I can
handle myself, but out in the city she had a reputation to uphold as being
Bad Girl 4 Life.

Aw, well, thats the first disappointment of the date, he
said. She stuck her tongue out at him. Wanna get some chow?

Hm, why not?

******************************

Curiosity killed the cat. Robin rationalized this meant that
it would be okay for the bird to be curious if it was so good at removing the
number one predator of aviary creatures in a suburban ecosystem. Hey, Star?
he said, and the bright green eyes of the alien princess looked up and stared
at him, You want to get something to eat?

Oh, Robin! I would be delighted! Shall I locate everyone
and inform them?

Er, no. Just us, okay? Lets go.

Certainly! she had a large smile on her face and an honest
blush across her cheeks.

Robin would never have suggested that if he had heard the
entirety of the ancient nonsescian proverb that the expression was taken from.
The cat looked at the curious robin in the tree. The bird looked down and
dive-bombed (They were a modern ancient civilization) at the cat, and got stuck
on its throat.

He may have never realized how much trouble he was bound to
be in, but he headed for the Pizza Shack hoping to find Jinx and Cyborg.

Robin proclaimed himself, after his tutelage from Batman,
the worlds second greatest lover (We try harder), he at least could point his
friend in the right direction.

*******************************

Jinx looked at Cyborg and smiled. Hey, Cyborg, she teased,
Wanna race?

You in any shape to be racing, Jinx? Especially since
youll be racing the number one Titan,

Oh, I thought Robin had you beat at those video games, she
taunted, And guess what, Im better than Robin, even with a broken leg,

Youre better looking at least, Cyborg said, But I think
that goes without saying, Pussycat, there was a faint blush on her cheeks. She
took off without warning, barreling past people with surprising speed,

Catch me if you can! she laughed merrily. Cyborg watched
her go, sputtering ineffectually for a few minutes. He regained his footing and
took off after her,

Oh, Im going to catch you all right!

No youre not!

Yes I am!

With rusty joints like that? Jinx teased, her crutches
dangerously close to hitting the garbage that littered the streets. While most
of it had become engrained in the streets over the years, like in so many
cities all over the world (Amsterdam is held up by a thin layer of garbage
right underneath the surface), much of the garbage here was still fresh and
ready to be slipped over,

Hey, thats a low blow, and you know it! Cyborg was
gaining on her, in a few more minutes hed be breathing down her neck. Speaking
of that, was she wearing perfume? It seemed so, and it was almost a bit
intoxicating. Jinx sneered at Cyborg from the side of her mouth,

Were almost to the pizza place, you better hurry up if
she was interrupted by a piece of fresh garbage getting caught underneath her
crutch and giving way. She lost the balance she had rushing through the
streets, and almost fell flat on her ass, which she might add would be a great
loss for her boyfriend considering it was part of her body she thought had a certain
bit of natural flirtiness to it.

Need a lift, Cyborg was behind her, and had caught her in
his arms, holding her up even as her crutches fell all over the street. She
looked at him as though he was a strange mechanical angel. Ill take that vacant
look as a yes,

What did I ever do without you? Jinx said, strangely,

Um, eat TV dinners while watching game shows in a seedy
living room? Cyborg offered. She looked at him as though he were totally
crazy. Joking! Hey, dont give me that look, please? Youre scaring me!

I think, what I did without you, was get all too bored
without someone to make squirm, she winked. Okay, that perfume was starting to
get to Cyborgs brain,

Um, he said with the might of a mountain and the certainty
of a small stream confronted by a large rock.

Now, could we collect my crutches or are you just going to
stare at me all day, Jinx asked, looking at him perplexed, Just help me to
that wall over there. Thanks, now, could you pick up my crutches before someone
takes them? Jinx seemed to be happy. He seemed to have noticed her perfume. If
no one meddled, she was certain this date would go perfectly according to plan.

********************************

As such, someone was bound to try and meddle. Not only had
Robin found some reason to go out on the town, but so had Gizmo, though he
wasnt doing it intentionally. Jinx had been successful at keeping her
dreamboat anonymous around the headquarters. No one knew that she and Cyborg
were dating, and neither would anyone believe it. It was almost as if this was
some bad joke God was playing on society.

Gizmo loved music, as its certain many had noticed, however
his love of music was very particular. If it was Techno Rap Remixes of Familiar
Children Songs it wasnt good at all. Albeit, after you hear The Hokey Pokey
(Doin It Right Mix 1993) you never quite look at music the same way. Mainly,
you looked at it like a scourge upon the planet earth.

Gizmo was also using Jinx to give him time to pick up some
new CDs. He made his way down Main Street not expecting to have any trouble.
After all, it was too early in the morning for skateboarders and too late in
the day for Goths. What he didnt expect was Cripple Racing heading his way. He
barely dodged the crutch, and almost had his face removed by an incoming cast.
It was purple with Smile for me, Pussycat signed on it. Jinx? he looked to
see the retreating

Catch me if you can!

Oh, Im going to catch you all right! said a booming voice
with all the force of a mountain and sugary sweetness of a maple tree. Gizmo
looked up perplexed, what was Cyborg doing here and why did the giant almost
squash him?

There were times when one had to make a decision: Music CD
or Finding Out What Jinx is Up To. Generally, guys pick the latter. So Gizmo
whipped out his arachno-appendages and followed at a discreet distance. But he
took the time to steal from a granny on the way, so he felt assured today
wouldnt be a total waste.

*********************************

The Pizza Shack was deserted before 11 AM, so the young
couple had the pick of the seats. They took one at the edge of the overhang
that overlooked the streets. Looking out on it, Jinx smiled, A week ago if I
showed my face here youd have had me arrested,

A week ago, if you saw me youd call me a Samuel L. Jackson
wannabe, Cyborg reminded her,

Yeah, but youre my Samuel L. Jackson now, Jinx
reminded him. She was still in awe how one day changed everything. She had been
caught sighing dreamily (Well, Jinx had been told she had been. She had been
asleep at the time), and she constantly found herself wanting to find ways to
trip alarms so she could see Cyborg. A week ago, they hardly knew each others
names, now they just chose not to use them, So, Tin Soldier, what do you want
on your pizza,

No, no, what do YOU want on your pizza,

No, what do you want?

Im the gentleman, its my duty to let you decide,

I insist, I havent a clue what I want,

Oh, you do,

Whats that supposed to mean?

I know you. You say that, but the second I say Double
Pepperoni youll complain,

Well, no! Jinx was cunning. She knew what Cyborg wanted,
now to direct him slowly to the goal-post,P
But, now that you mention it, sausage,

Only if I get meatballs,

And how about ham?

Sure,

All meat experience?

All meat experience.

Robin groaned from his discreet position at the far edge of
the overhang. He had seen that argument coming from a mile away. When they both
stood up, he got worried the date was over. Robin? May I recommend that we
replace the tomato sauce with another condiment?

I, I dont think you can do that, Star, Robin said, still
trying to pay attention to what was going on over there. They seemed to be
arguing over whether or not to get it with breadsticks. Oh, no, sorry, who was
paying. Jinx seemed set on him paying, and so did he, they just decided not to
notice. Good grief,

What is the matter, Robin? You seem to be staring distantly
at the horizon. Is there something there thats interesting?

No! No! Robin dashed right in front of Stars line of
sight, Nothing interesting, oh heavens no what gave you that idea only
thinking yeah thats it thinking and I was thinking about how to tell you how
lovely you look today and something else and something else and I was thinking
we should just get a cheese pizza,

I look lovely? Thank you ever so much, Robin, I dont know
what to say! Star said, Well, maybe that cheese pizza sounds perfectly good
to me,

Thats good, thats good. Robin said, eye twitching
spasmodically. That was way too close,

Pardon?

Nothing!

Cyborg smiled, now that it had been settled that he would be
paying for this date, despite Jinxs claim that he should pay for the date
because hes the man, he could settle down and wait for service. Hey, Jinx,

Yes?

You done something with your hair? he asked. Jinx blushed
at the question and felt her hair. She had tried to do a simple job of
highlighting it, but there was only so much you could do without the guys
noticing,

You noticed? Wow, she was stunned, I, well, I did try
some highlights,

Looks good. Not too overwhelming, Cyborg said. Jinx added
one point to the date, making the grand total 2. There were eight more points
to go and Cyborg would get his little prize. Hey, I was thinking, want to
catch a flick after this?

A movie? Jinx said. She hadnt actually ever been to one
before. Shed seen movies, of course, but only in the grand affair that was the
H.A.E.Y.P. Theater of the Arts. It was the kind of Movie Theater that made Erik
green with jealousy, red with rage, and white mainly due to the mask over his
face. It had enough tunnels under it to keep a man lost for years, it had
hiding holes all over its expanses, and it had a sea underneath it. Take that,
Paris Opera House. Still, the next time she heard a British actor say that
Ive all ways believed life is for the living she was going to scream.

Sure, Im thinking maybe that new Bond movie, Just Another
Dawn, or something.

I dont want to see an arts movie, Cyborg, she said,
unsure who this Bond was,

Oh, dont worry. James Bond defies every law of art within
the first five minutes, Cyborg answered. Yes, this could be very fun indeed.

***************************

Beast Boy had ignored the fact that everyone had been gone
for only five minutes before he couldnt take it any longer. He hated quiet,
and he wanted someone to admit how great he was. Raven was probably still
inside, but whenever she tried to impress her she closed the door on him and
made sure he wouldnt try again anytime soon.

So, he decided to try anyway. Hey, Raven, you in there?
Open up. If you dont open that door Im going to force it open,

How, pray tell, are you going to?

Well, first Ill transform into a bull, that should give me
enough head-strength to head but it. That should jar it, so Ill then turn into
a gorilla and use the impressive upper body strength that it gives me to open
it fully,

And why, pray, would you do that?

Because I need attention,

Wonderful. Ill be meditating in the living room if you
need me,

Sure thing,

Oh, and one more thing,

Whats that?

Stay out of my room.

********************************

Gizmo blinked, I did not just see that, he had waited
outside the Pizza Shack for over ten minute and he still couldnt believe his
eyes. Jinx had walked out leading Cyborg, dare he say it, giggling like a
schoolgirl. He did not just see that, it was impossible.

Dammit, Robin said, coming out of the restaurant. Gizmo
hurriedly hid himself. Hey, Star?

Yes, Robin? she asked. That sparkling innocence, that
syrupy sweet tone, Robin knew what she was thinking,

How about we take a walk? he asked. He knew he couldnt
let Cyborg see him, and he also knew he couldnt let Star see Cyborg. If either
of them saw one another, Robin would be in for a world of hurt. Still, he had
to give the big guy help, somehow, and making sure things didnt get too out of
hand was the best thing he could do at the time.

Gizmo watched Robin, He knows something I dont. Gizmo
growled, I hate it when dweebs know something I dont. Ill just have to dig
up my old Combat Class strategy. Top of my class, he hit a button and the
arachno-legs attached themselves to the wall, letting him crawl unnoticed by the
side of the building.

Robin felt Starfire take his arm lovingly, and smiled. It
did feel nice, but he had a duty to accomplish. Hey, Star, he tested
something, Hasnt Cyborg been acting weird lately?

My, yes. He has been spending all the day long sighing in a
fashion that is strange and almost alien to his usual attitude, Starfire said,
I wonder if it is because of the highly traumatizing effects of his adventures
underground? Starfire cocked her head to the side, almost unsure of herself,
Or am I wrong?

I dont know, Robin lied, Im going to ask him tonight.
Why dont we just let him be in the meantime, he then waited for her reaction,

Cyborg needs our help now, Robin! I am certain that it is
our duty as friends to help him. After his horrible experience with that very
not nice Jinx woman,

Yeah, thats what I thought, Robin said.

Gizmo had pondered long and hard how Jinx managed to survive
under there for so long. There was no possible exit into the sewers from
underneath there because everything had been sealed off.P Then that broken leg, which she never fully
explained how she had gotten or why she hadnt been jailed for being seen in
broad daylight so helpless.

Well, this is very interesting, he said to himself. Most
interesting indeed, he whipped out his phone, Mammoth, get to the Titan
Tower. I got a question.

*********************************

Meditation was a great escape from the turmoil of every day
life in this rotten existence. Each tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeping
in a petty pace to the last recorded syllable of recorded time. It was damn
depressing, and Raven had found meditation to be a much better alternative to
dusty death. Life may be a story told by an idiot, but she didnt have to
listen.

Beast Boy, on the other hand, was playing a video game
excitedly. Without Cyborg or Robin here, Im number one! he exclaimed
excitedly. She looked at the green shape-shifter with disdain. Will you please
shut up?

Sorry, Raven, Im just too good to be shut up right now! Oh
yeah! Raven took a controller and began to play against Beast Boy. It didnt
take her more than twenty seconds of figuring out the controls, and she still
won. Aww, man

Get used to it. Now will you be quiet?

There came a knocking without the door. Raven eyed it, Who
could it be. Beast Boy, go tell them were closed,

Why me?

Because youre the loser, Raven explained, And I dont
care if you have any reason otherwise,

Beast Boy grumbled and went to answer the door. The knocking
wasnt the only thing without a door, the doorframe was missing it, and a very
excited looking Mammoth was there rubbing his fists, Hey there.

Oh great. Look, we dont need this right now. Just go
away, Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla and pounded his chest,

Nope, no can do, Mammoth said, preparing to grapple with
the gorilla. Their hands met and they pushed each other back, causing nasty
looking dents in the ground as both held their ground. Beast Boy, however, had
the advantage of adaptability, and quickly turned into a bull, letting the
force Mammoth was pushing against move him forward and into his horns. The big
man fell to his knees, gasping for air, N,no fair,

You want fair? Beast Boy said, You and me, one on one,
Street Fighter 2 right now,

Fine, fine.

It had ended up being a best 5 out of 7 by Beast Boys
demands. Raven had forced him to stop after Mammoth beat him the fifth time.
Mammoth laughed at them, and did a little victory dance, Look, Beast Boy may
have lost to you, Raven then said, But even I can beat him,

I hate you, Beast Boy said, hurt,

You wanna try to take on the might of Zangief (Real name
Vodka Gaborsky. And they call Americans racist), little girl?

Sure, Raven said. She won every match, and made Mammoth
cry. Thus began the great SF2 Tournament of 2004.

**************************

The movie had been action-packed, filled with hilarity, and
had featured more than a few moments of masculine chauvinism. Jinx had enjoyed
it a lot, and had found herself resting her head on Cyborgs cold metallic
shoulder more than once. She didnt mind that he was half metal, but mainly
because he didnt seem to mind carrying her around whenever she got into
trouble. Even if it was cold metal, it wasnt cold in the same way as steel or
iron. It was a living metal, and it had warmth to it. She smiled, So, what
next tin man?

I dont know, how about we go for a walk in the park, he
offered, mental note, right after the bathroom. They had a super jumbo sized
cola between the two of them, and he had drunk the lions share and it was
coming back to haunt him, Er, just, excuse me a second, he gave her a quick
hug, much to her embarrassment and ran out of the theater like a man with his
ass on fire.

Robin watched him run past, Hey, Starfire? she had fallen
asleep during the movie, Geez. Ill be right back, he whispered, and went to
the bathroom after Cyborg.

Cyborg was washing his hands carefully when Robin came in.
He didnt seem to notice Robin, too excited about how his date was going. This
is the best day of my life,

Well, you look happy, Robin said, smiling. He went about
washing his hands next to Cyborg.

You better believe it, little man! He smiled widely and
looked at Robin. And then the smile faltered, Okay, you better explain your
sorry hide or it is so going to be paste by the time Im through with you,

Hey, Im just on a date with Starfire, dont blow a gasket.
Hows Jinx? Not planning anything particularly evil, is she?

Hey, give her a chance, man. Shes not all bad,

Im not the one who called her Demented Clown Girl,
Robin answered,

Shut up,

Neither of them noticed Gizmo washing his hands at the stall
behind them, listening in. So, he had been right after all. This was most interesting.
Most interesting indeed.

I, Im serious man, this ones special, Cyborg said, Real
special. Id do almost anything for her,

But, does she feel the same?

I, I dont know. I hope so, he answered.

They had obviously forgotten that their dates had been left
alone in the theater to wait for them. While Starfire being asleep would have
accounted for Robins confidence that his plan would continue, they hadnt
counted on Jinx.

What a day all ready. Its, what, two in the afternoon?

Three thirty five, said a sleepy voice, And twenty seven
seconds,

Hey thanks! Wow, a nice walk, then maybe dinner, and then
if he plays his cards right a goodnight kiss, Jinx plotted, rubbing her hands
together evilly, Oh yes, nothing can stop me,

Thats wonderful, miss! said the voice, not a bit more
awake, My date seems to be missing. Oh my, I hope he is not upset at me for
falling asleep during the boring explosion scenes?

I doubt it, Jinx said, But if he is, I can give him a bit
of bad luck for you,

Oh, that is most amusing! I do hope he is coming back
soon, Starfire said. She happily took a bite of her mustard layered hot dog,
You are also on a date?

Yeah, Jinx said, Geez, isnt that a bit too much
mustard?

There is no such thing as too much mustard! Starfire
gleefully responded,

Right, Jinx said, uneasily, Dont I know you from
somewhere?

Oh! My word, how rude of me! My name is Starfire, and yours
is?

Starfire? Jinx stopped, mouth agape in terror. A secret
love is something that is supposed to remain secret,

Your name is Starfire as well? Oh my, you see, I was once
going to name myself Ariel but I did not want to seem like a copycat, I believe
the word is, yes? Well, I did not want to seem like one. It seems like Ill
have to change it again, maybe to Kory.

No, no! Thats not my name, Jinx said, starting to edge
towards the exit.

Oh! Thats wonderful news for me! What is your name? If I
may suggest one, the name Kitty is very pretty, Starfire said. Jinx just
stopped, utterly perplexed. There was a tense moment when Starfire finally
looked at the girl she had been talking to. There was also a tense moment when
Cyborg and Robin returned to the theater only to hear the scream that followed.

Oh god.

***********************************

The Street Fighter Tournament of 2004 raged on. So far they
had Aqualad, Shadowcat, Nightcrawler, and Supergirl all vying for top billing.
Everyone had made calls for more people to come, and there seemed to be what
would pass as a gaming party as someone brought in Tekken 3 and Virtua Fighter
4.

It was utter chaos in the Titans Tower. There were TVs being
plugged everywhere, there were people playing every sort of game imaginable
(Excluding Mousetrap, which everyone agreed was too much work for too little
reward). Raven groaned, looking at the throng of people lining up at the door.
She did not recognize all of them, but there were an assortment of super
villains lining up as well. From Avalanche to Psimon, there even seemed to be a
guy with the ugliest dye job she ever saw, blonde and dark red, and a man with
a golden eyeball lined up there as well.

She just stared, unsure of what to make of it. She just had
to make sure no one plugged in a hairdryer (Universal Law of Gaming #230: Never
plug in the hairdryer, doofus).

Beast Boy, dont you think this is getting a bit out of
hand?

Cant you see Im winning here?

I am quite serious about this. How are we going to feed all
these people? Raven asked. There was a moment of silence. They all looked at
her, expecting an answer. She sighed, took the phone from Supergirl, and
dialed. Hello? Pizza Shack? Yes, Im sorry to have to do this to you, but 200
large pizzas. No, I dont care what you put on them, just, just. Fine, thatll
work. No, okay, yes. 1500 wings, please, no I dont know how Im paying. Just
put it on our tab.

They were going to have to charge admission next time.

***********************************

After the smoke had cleared, Jinx was still standing, her eyes
a faint pink shade. Okay, power princess, that was just a bit rude, she said,

Robin! Jinx is here. I cannot stand aside and let her go
after what she has done to Cyborg!

What? Jinx asked, angrily, I havent done anything to
Cyborg, she mentally added yet.

When we investigated the museum I found part of your dress
there! she angrily said, I cannot allow you to get away with this!

Starfire, Cyborg did not look happy, I broke her leg and
helped her get out of that mess. She didnt do nothing to me!

Yeah! Jinx said, approaching Cyborg, Cmon, Tin Man,
lets go,

Agreed. Little man, your ass is SO handed to you next time
I see you, he said angrily. Robin looked at him at a loss for words. Then he
looked to Starfire, who was slowly digesting what was going on. And Starfire,
if you say a word about this to Beast Boy or Raven, Im gonna have to extend
that guarantee to you as well. Dont screw this up for me,

But, but, but? Starfire said, intelligently, Robin, what
is happening? I do not understand!

Ill explain later. Robin sighed, and rubbed his temples,
This is so not my day. Cyborg and Jinx walked out of the theater. They
exchanged glances and sighed,

Look, Im sorry about them,

Robin knows? Jinx asked, I mean, he knew before this?

He kinda figured it out on his own, Cyborg said, He
didnt flip out. Hes been real cool about it. I just knew Star or Beast Boy
would just freak if they heard though,

She freaked when she saw me, Jinx said. She sighed, Still
up for that walk?

You better believe it, Pussycat. I aint going to end this
date on a down note. How about dinner afterwards?

I was thinking the same thing.

Gizmo peered around the corner as they passed and skittered
along behind them. Oh, yes, this is going to be fun.

***************************************

The park was filled with sunlight. Jinx collapsed on the
grass and sighed happily. She was having a great time even with that previous
incident. Cyborg? Sit down with me, she begged. He did so and put his arm
around her. She smiled contentedly, then looked at him, You having as much fun
as I am?

You better believe it, Cyborg said, Just you and me at
last,

Its been a week since our first date, she joked, Still
having nightmares about touching me?

Still complaining about men having to touch you? The
general consensus was no, and they just laughed. I think Ill go easy on the
little guy tonight,

Oh? Cyborg! This isnt like you! she joked, Last time you
were mad you broke my leg,

You know I didnt mean to, he said, under his breath. She
just laughed,

Lighten up. If you hadnt, well, lets just put it down to
serendipity and leave it at that?

Sounds good to me, Cyborg said, And at least it was
Starfire who saw us, if it had been one of your crew I would probably have one
of my arms hung over the mantle place by now,

Yeah, I guess you would, Jinx said. Lets hope they dont
find us. I dont want this date to be ruined by one of Gizmos half-baked
ideas,

Not too worried about Mammoth? I dont think Id want to be
on his bad side,

Hes harmless underneath that muscle. Give him some food
with blue moss growing over it and hes happy, Jinx said, Wonder what those
two goofballs are doing with their time.

**************************************

PIm going to my
room, she said out loud. Inside she was thanking whatever deity was listening
that the food had finally arrived. Hundreds of guests ravenously ate the pizza
as it was laid out in front of them. Beast Boy offered her a slice, but she
declined it. This is too much,

Hey, I bet I can beat this game at Level 8 with Zangief!
Without continues! Mammoth announced. There was suddenly a crowd around him,
watching to see if he could do it. Beast Boy watched with sweat forming on his
brow, this was a bit too much. Still, once you got to know him, Mammoth wasnt
so bad. If hed pay for the door, hed be a welcome guest of the Beast Boy any
day.

I bet you cant, Beast Boy taunted, Ten bucks,

Youre on! The betting pool formed after that.

Raven sat in her room, and stared vacantly at the door. If
theres furniture left after this, Im burning it.

****************************************

The young couple had arrived at the TAIS (Thank Allah Its
Saturday) restaurant hand in hand in crutch. They had been seated, and they had
ordered. They failed to notice the discreetness of another couple sitting next
to them. One had a suspicious looking bowler cap on, and short black mustache
that was only put off by the reasoning that someone with hair that red could
not have a black mustache. His date was a very disturbingly attractive young
lady wearing a mask and a bad dress. They peeked from behind their menus at
Jinx and Cyborgs date. The two had silent for the past ten minutes, and also
their waiter was getting annoyed of them not ordering anything besides water.

Also, Jinx and Cyborg failed to notice the small boy left
unattended at his table. He was in a high-seat and was banging away at a small
device in his boredom. The young boy had been all but ignored by most people,
but those who had noticed he had squirted ketchup all over the table and also
happened to be electrical engineers were could have sworn he had drawn out the
designs for a sound amplifier.

Jinx and Cyborg didnt notice this because they only noticed
each other. It was a magic night, and teenagers needed nights like this to know
that love is alive. The radio played a song, and that was the only noise they
heard in that crowded family restaurant.

PJust one year of
love is better than a lifetime alone

One sentimental moment in your arms

Is like a shooting star right through my heart

Its all ways a rainy day without you

Im a prisoner of love inside you

Im falling apart all around you

All I can do is surrenderjust surrender

Do you think these disguises were wise, Robin? said the
man in a feminine voice,

Look, they havent recognized us yet, Robin answered,
looking irritably at the dress, But maybe I went a bit far this time. He looked
at them, and sighed, Maybe we should just go home,

I think that is wise, Starfire said, But Robin?

Yeah?

Why did you not tell us about this before?

Because, Star, sometimes you have to keep secrets for your
friends, Robin answered, Even if you know you shouldnt.

Gizmo cackled to himself as he waited for the right moment
to strike. He watched the young couple as they had their meal, the entire time
just in total silence, their eyes never wavering from each other. Gizmo was
starting to get uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. There was something a kid
his age, no matter how advanced in science he was, feared more than anything in
the world.

As they finished the meal, they seemed drawn to each other.
There was a kind of magic in the air the saxophones haunting melody played.
Drawn by this magic, they kissed.

Ew, Gizmo said, Cooties.

*************************************

They sat there for a moment, before the bill arrived, and
blushed wordlessly. No matter what, they would remember this. Jinx was the
first to get up, I should be getting home,

Can I walk you there? Cyborg offered, and Jinx looked at
the floor bashfully, Yeah, maybe that isnt the best idea,

Well, we can walk part way, she said, Then,

Then what?

I was going to ask you the same thing, Jinx said. We
cant keep this secret forever,

However you want it, Cyborg said, standing by her, I
dont want to lose you,

Neither do I, Jinx admitted, a bit ashamed, But, you
know, Bad Girl For Life. She grinned, giving him a V,

Theres got to be a way, Cyborg said, Theres just gotta
be,

Ill try explaining it to Mammoth, hes more likely to get
it,

And I thought Gizmo was the smart one, Cyborg said,

Hes only smart when it comes to machines. Give him a
romance novel and hell run away like cooties were the end of the world,

Oh, Cyborg said. Funny how that is,

Yeah, she stopped, Look, if things go bad, I just want
you to know that

I know, Cyborg said, I know. Same for me,

How about you? You going to tell the tomboy and the green
freak?

Ill have to. I got Robin to back me, though, shouldnt be
too hard, he said. He looked at Jinx, and smiled, Besides, if they freak out
Ill just give them a whooping they wont soon forget, yeah?

Oh, Im sure of it, tough guy, she poked him in the
stomach, Just make sure your flabby gut doesnt give away that all you can do
is crush them,

Youre not going to let me forget that, are you?

Never!

*************************************

Mammoth was playing Beast Boy for their twenty-fifth round.
Beast Boy had been having a winning streak, so Mammoth did get to finally
relieve himself (Universal Law of Gaming # 1: You all ways have to go to the
bathroom when you stop playing). He had received a phone call and had to pause
the game, while Beast Boy was ahead by a nose. Yeah?

Mammoth! Its me. Listen, I need for you now,

Cant it wait?

No, it cant!

Im busy,

Look, where are you?

Um, right by the Titan Tower like you told me to be, boss.
I asked about Cyborg like you asked. They said if Cyborg ever landed a date
with the women he met they would laugh, so no,

Interesting. Look, meet me outside. I got a newsflash for
you,

Is it good news?

Um, you know, its icky news, he answered. Mammoth nodded
solemnly,

Gotcha. Ill be waiting, Mammoth hung up, and unpaused the
game, Last match, green buddy. Got business to deal with,

Hmph, Ill beat you this time, Beast Boy said. He was then
promptly beaten, Aw man! I just dont have any luck today,

Sorry, Mammoth said. He had fun tonight, but looks like
duty calls.

************************************

Jinx looked around. It was the Laundromat that they had met
at today. She decided she wouldnt bring back the clothes. They could fetch it
themselves for all she cared. Hey, she said, quietly, not wanting to ruin the
moment. It was Six in the evening, and the sun was starting to set, turning the
clouds pink, Thanks for a wonderful day,

Im just glad Robin didnt ruin it for you, Cyborg said,
happily, I, Im real sorry bout that. Wanted today to be perfect and he
just,

Dont worry about it, she dragged his head down to his,
and planted a kiss firmly on his lips, Ill see you. Cyborg was speechless as
he robotically backed away from Jinx, waving like an idiot. She smiled to
herself, blew him a kiss, and turned to go to the hideout. She heard a whoop in
the distance, and laughed. As fast as her crutches could go, she ran home. As
she opened the door, she noticed things were suspiciously quiet.

Hey, bozos! Anyone home?

Oh, sure is. Me, and a traitor, said a childish voice.
Turning around as dramatically as he could, having to kick a table to turn
around, Gizmo menacingly turned to face her, or would have if he hadnt bumped
onto the chair. Angrily, he pushed away from it and spun around twice, before
finally settling on a direction that was almost looking at Jinx, Anyway,

Me? A traitor? What are you talking about?

You know what Im talking about. You and that mechanical
plaything of yours, Gizmo said. She looked at him angrily and blushed. Dont
try and deny it, I saw you two, ick, kiss.

L, look. I was about to,

I dont care, Gizmo said, Because this gives me a golden opportunity
to get back at those Titans! Mechanical tendrils shot from his backpack and
wrapped around Jinx. She struggled to break free. With you as bait, we can get
the robot to do whatever we want,
He wont do that! Hes too loyal, Jinx said,

But, to who? Gizmo said, grinning diabolically.

*************************************

Oh no, OH no, Robin said, as he saw the scene in front of
him. Beast Boy was in the center of a throng of people, eating a piece of
vegetarian pizza. What happened here?

Um, unplanned gaming tournament, dudes. Uh, pizza?

Certainly! Starfire said,

I somehow dont see Raven being too happy about this,
Robin said.

Um, challenge you? Beast Boy said, timidly,

Youre on! Robin said, happily sitting down next to Beast Boy.
Starfire looked out the open doorway,

How did this happen?

Oh, that was Mammoth. He played with us for a while. It was
weird,

Yeah, Robin said, using this moment of distraction to
launch a sneak attack, I bet it was,

Ah! Behold, Cyborg is returning!

Starfire, remember, Robin said, a bit irritated. He looked
at Starfire coldly, Not. A. Word.

My lips shall not utter the secret, she said, destroying
the expression, Welcome home, Cyborg!

Dude, whats happening? Cmon! Play! Beast Boy urged, Im
gonna beat you this time,

Cyborg looked at him, smiled widely, and said, No thanks,
little dude, Im too tired today,

Its only 7 o clock! Beast Boy contended, Cmon, one
round, pretty please?

No, man, Im going to recharge. Need my beauty sleep, he
headed for the elevator. Before he could step in a large crash like two pieces
of metal slamming against each other interrupted him.

What was that? Robin said, leaping up. Cyborg groaned,

Great, just GREAT! he charged to the front door. He
stopped short.

Dude, whats wrong? Beast Boy asked. He stood next to
Cyborg and looked at the scene, What the heck? What are you guys doing?

Um, Mammoth said, shrugging, This is business, you know,
he smirked. Mammoth and Gizmo stood with Jinx suspended high above the ground,
unable to speak or move in the confines of the metal tendrils.

Now, Cyborg, Gizmo said, What do you think of my little
gift wrapped present?

You let her go right now, you freak, Cyborg said,

Dudes, whats going on? Beast Boy said, out of the loop.
Starfire gasped and Robin gritted his teeth. Dudes? Cyborg? Robin? Star?

You are very naughty, naughty boys! Starfire said,
angrily.

I may be persuaded to let her go if, maybe, Gizmo said,
Cyborg beats all of you up for our enjoyment,

Hey, thats a pretty good plan, Mammoth said, smiling
monstrously, But, how come hed do that?

Yeah, Im wondering the exact same thing here! Beast Boy
screeched,

Well duh, the metallic snot breath here is in LOVE with her,
Gizmo said. Cyborg froze,

Say what? Beast Boy said. Youre in love with the enemy,
Cy?

Leave me alone, Cyborg said, This aint easy,

Robin put down his defenses and looked at Cyborg. He could
see Cyborg was having a great deal of difficulty. He knew Jinx better than
anyone else, and he cared about her deeply. However, he had his loyalties to
the team as well. The tiny gears in his head turned as he tried to decide what
to do. Guys, I dont know what to do,

Shes the ENEMY, Beast Boy said, angrily. How come its
so hard to decide between us and her? Theres lotsa fish in the sea, I know,
Ive been most of them,

Beast Boy, shut up, youre not helping, Cyborg glared at
him. The shape shifter became a timid mouse in response to the glare. Gizmo saw
that he was going to need some motivation,

Oh my, it seems that my metal traps hold is increasing in
pressure. Now, where did I put that dial? he made a show of looking about his
person for a dial that would decrease the pressure while Jinx began to feel
increased. Her eyes bugged out in pain,

Stop it! If I do this, will you let her go? I want your
word, twerp, or I wont stop, Cyborg warned.

Cyborg! Beast Boy whined.

Beast Boy, stop it. This isnt an easy decision for him,
Robin said. He looked at Beast Boy, who had the dignity to look embarrassed.
Beast Boy sighed,

Sorry, Cy. Cmon, hit me first so we can get this over and
done with. Beast Boy offered. Just, not in the face, okay?

There was a muffled cry from Jinx. She shook her head
furiously. Shut up, Jinx! Gizmo said, releasing the pressure slowly,

Cyborg looked at Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy. Hey he
grabbed Robin by the collar and lifted him up, Wheres Raven? he whispered,
covertly,

I bet shes in her room,

Think we can use that?

I bet we can,

Perfect. Cyborg threw Robin into the throng of people. The
huge audience surrounded the fight after Robin crashed into a table,

Um, Mammoth, you didnt mention there was a party here,

You never asked, Mammoth said, nonchalantly, Im
surprised he did it,

Oh, I knew hed come around sooner or later. I mean, hes
got her cooties all over him, the two of them shuddered simultaneously at the
word. They looked at Cyborg, Cmon, the others too!

This is so underhanded, Star complained. She looked to
Cyborg, If it is not too much to ask, please reconsider?

Cmon and play along, Cyborg said, whipping a punch at
Starfire. The girl darted to the side, I mean, the gangs all here, right?

But where is, Starfires eyes widened, Oh, yes, well
Cyborg I shall not let you defeat us so easily. Even though we are friends,
righteous rage compels me!

She tossed out two starbolts in front of Cyborg, forcing him
backwards. Not bad, Starfire, but youre going to have to do better than
that, he punched the ground in front of Starfire, which she easily dodged.
Cmon, stand still.

Beast Boy watched this a bit perplexed, but when Starfire
winked for him he relaxed and started to play along, Hey, pal! he leaped into
the air and transformed into an orangutan on the way down. He grabbed Cyborgs
arms and removed them. He then danced about, with Cyborg chasing after him.

Hey! Give those back!

Mammoth moved to grab the orangutan, Looks like Ill have
to get my hands dirty after all. He clapped his hands together and began to
run after Beast Boy. The two chasers stumbled after the orangutan. The audience
watched amused as the orangutan Beast Boy did a little dance over the two when
they tripped over one another and landed in a tangled pile.

Jinx didnt have to do anything to contain her laughter, the
constraints did that for her.

******************************

Hey, Raven! Robin asked, rubbing the back of his head,
Emergency down at the entrance,

What do you expect me to do about it? said an irritated
voice, Do you have a plan?

Yes, but it needs you!

Convince me to care,

Well, once they notice that youre not there, theyre going
to bust into your room. Raven hesitated. That was a serious concern. She had
to double check that he had said that.

What was that?

Theyll come into your room, Robin grinned. He had her.

No one, and I mean no one comes into my room. She opened
the door and emerged from the shadows like the bird that was her namesake.

************************************

The game of Monkey in the Middle had been going on for way
too long, Gizmo thought. It was bad when the monkey was eluding capture by both
Mammoth and Cyborg, but now that they were tossing the arms about the audience
like some glorified beach ball, that was the last straw.

Okay, thats it. Mammoth, lets just take on these dweebs
ourselves,

Right, he answered. He charged at Starfire, who dodged and
fired out starbolts as she flew backwards.

And Cyborg, you do anything to help your snot friends, do I
need remind you what happens? Jinx felt Gizmo increase the pressure in the
hold again, Whoops, looks like I did anyway. Jinx was in the same uncertain
boat as Cyborg. Sure, she wanted to see the Teen Dweebs reduced to shame after
a crushing defeat, but she also didnt want Cyborg to be the cause of it.

This was the one thing in the relationship that they didnt
want to think about until sometime after marriage.

Hey, losers, there it was, that familiar call of the
returning hero. Standing triumphantly before them was Robin, cape billowing in
the wind which had just so happened to decide to pick up at that moment, Got a
brief reminder for you,

Whats that, doofus? Gizmo said. He upped the pressure on
Jinxs hold, but for some reason it wasnt responding. Hey, whats going on?

The metal coils were being opened up by Ravens telekinesis.
I knew we had forgotten someone! Gizmo cursed. He turned to look at Cyborg,
You planned this, didnt you? I cant believe this!

Hey, Gizmo, said a haughty and irritated voice. I want to
beat up the Teen Titans just as much as you do. But never ever use me like that
again, she tossed a hex onto his backpack. He quickly tossed it off and ran
for a safe distance as all the mechanical tools in its recesses exploded
simultaneously.

Hey, Mammoth, said Cyborg, attaching his right arm, Eat
this. He punched the giant hard enough to send him flying into the wall. Beast
Boy patted Cyborg on the shoulder,

Knew youd come through for us, man. Beast Boy smiled,
Even when lady troubles get us down, we stick together, right?

Shut up, Beast Boy. Im too upset right now to respond
favorably, Cyborg said, perfectly calm. Raven appeared beside Robin,

Whats his problem?

********************************************

Okay folks, move it or lose it, partys over, go home,
Beast Boy and Robin hurried the guests out of the foyer. Gizmo and Mammoth were
detained in the coils and Cyborg was pacing about them, wondering what to do about
them.

Okay, just this once, Im going to let you go scotch free
for Jinxs sake, he said, angrily, But ever use her like that again and Im
going to have you in a world of pain so bad youd wish you were in prison, the
two hurriedly assured them that the thought would never come to mind ever
again. Jinx smiled and rested against a wall, unable to move any further,

Thanks, Cyborg, Jinx said slowly, I really dont know how
were going to work this now. Everyone knows, and we cant just avoid this whole
Bad Girl Good Guy thing,

Jinx,

I dont want to give up after just one incident, Cyborg,
its just,

Well face it as it comes. Cyborg grinned, Besides, well
be on more even grounds next time, huh?

You better believe it, she said, sniffing haughtily at
him, Im sure my teams superior, dearest Cyborg,

Dont be so sure about that, Pussycat, Cyborg said, with
equal attitude, Im sure the Teen Titans will be there to stop you,

Im counting on that, Jinx said, Care to walk me home?
She extended her arms to wait being carried away. Cyborg smiled and lifted her
up into his arms. He winked at her and began on his way out the ruined door. As
the foyer, now a shambles, stood helpless against the elements, the young
couple walked out into the fading yesterday.

I was beginning to think youd never ask.

FIN
