Disclaimer: What's this? I thought we'd been over this already. I don't own Young justice, or Teen titans.

He didn't know why, or how for that matter, he had ended up in this situation, but he knew that it probably wasn't the best way to approach it. It had all just happened so fast… one moment he was standing there, watching him point the gun at her, and the next…

Normally he was harmless. The funny guy who flirted way too much. But at that moment, he'd felt something snap. All that mattered was her. As long as she was safe. So he'd just started running. Snatched the gun and aimed it.

"You wouldn't." The raven-haired man sneered. In retaliation Wally cocked the gun.

"Try me." he'd snarled. He could hear Kaldur ordering him to stand down. The rest of the team melded in with his voice, swirling in a painful order. A tiring reprimand. But Wally just ignored it, standing him ground to protect his precious.

"Young boy, you don't have it in you to murder in cold blood." Pannick! said. Sure, Wally could feel the sweat rolling down his forehead, but the sound of whimpering made him feel like tearing that guys' head off.

He watched him crumple and Robin appear in his place. A metal stick that Wally hadn't seen in years was in Robin's hand, and instead of looking up with a smirk, Robin looked serious.

"Kid, put the gun down." A deeper voice came from Robin, one that signified that he was the leader. With a shaky hand, Kid flash dropped the gun, spinning on his heels to crouch next to the bloody girl behind him.

She looked more like a broken rag-doll than a real human, with inhumanly pale skin and her limbs askew. He could feel his heart beating like a caged bird in his chest at the sight of her, feeling as thought the air had been knocked out of him.

When he was younger, around eleven, he'd climbed up onto his roof by jumping off a ledge on his tree house. When jumping back, he'd misjudged the leap and fallen over two stories to the ground. He felt the same way now as he did back then. Dazed, confused and completely winded. His head pounded and his heart threatened to lunge out of his chest.

Because lying there on the ground was a girl he'd thought he'd never see again. A girl who had stolen his heart and taken it with her when she left.

Lying there, in a pool of her own blood, was Jinx.

Ha ha! Wasn't who you thought it was, now was it?
