A few short, random pairings I did out of boredom that are very cliqued. I'm having a writers block from my other story, so I wrote this/These:
"What?" Kid Flash asked, and suddenly he was next to Jinx. "You don't miss them at all?"
Jinx had been making the switch from 'Evil' to 'Good' for a while now, and while Robin was still unsure about her, she had proved on my occasions that she was trustworthy.
But there were a few things she did that seemed... questionable. They weren't suspicious, they just...
An example was that whenever food was lain out on the table, she'd always look at it uncertainly, like she wasn't sure there was enough for everyone else and her.
So her and Kid Flash ate alone. He became her best friend.
That was how the conversation had started; he'd set the pizza box down in front of her, and she looked like she wasn't sure whether she should proverbially attack it, or wait until he'd started.
"You can eat." He'd informed her.
"I k-know." She said, reaching for it. "...god, I hate the Hive Five."
And then Kid Flash sprung her with the question she really didn't feel like answering.
"What? Don't you miss them at all?"
She looked at the pizza that was sitting in front of her.
She'd made sure that she'd never versed anyone in the hive five after she's switched. She'd spent so long with them... they'd think she were a failure.
"Jinx?"
"You don't get it!" She burst out suddenly, and the cushion on the couch next to her exploded in a mass of feathers and pink.
"Then explain." He said easily, like he didn't care if she blew up all his pillows.
She sighed. "You... you work alone. I was the leader... they all expected me to... look after them. We had to steal our food, and our clothes, or stuff to sell, or parts for Gizmo-"
"So?" He asked. "That was just what you did, right?"
She shook her head. "If something went wrong- if we didn't eat or if one of us got hurt... it would be my fault. The blame would fall on me. And the hide-out you found us in? That was one of our better ones. It might have looked big, but we went without... a lot."
A frown had crept onto KF's face while she was talking.
"Gizmo... he's just a kid. We're all just kids, but he's like, little." She bit her lip. "They were all idiots, but I still- i-"
He blinked up at her suddenly, his wide eyes amazingly hypnotic. "You know what the difference between you and them are?" He grinned suddenly. "You cared about them. You looked after them. They never did anything in return. Don't you get it Jinx? That means you're a good person! This is where you belong, here with me."
She raised an eyebrow, but her eyes started to water. "You're an idiot. That was just... t-tacky."
He wrapped an arm around her as she cried, and she could almost believe that it was where she wanted to be.
Fear not, there is more to come, with other characters.
