Jinx moved silently though the hall, she'd had another nightmare and was desperate for both sleep and company. She found herself in front of a familiar door. She put her finger on the scanner curious if he'd even taken her off. The door opened and she thanked the heavens, she made no sound as she crossed the dark room knowing just where everything was. She lifted his blankets but not his sheets and climbed into bed.

She curled into herself as her pink locks covered the pillow she'd slept on for many nights. Just as the sound of his rhythmic breathing started to calm her a storm hit and the sudden thunder. Her hand jumped to her mouth but it was too late she'd made a sound. She was grateful her back was to him, so he couldn't see her tear stained face.

Her mind raced, Argent why didn't she go to her room? Why Wally's? Maybe she could say she had been sleep waking? No he knew her better then that. She let out a sigh.

Wally woke up feeling utterly confused. He had heard something that he was sure of but what it was he didn't know. His eyes scanned the room but he couldn't see anything in the black room. He shifted his legs and a familiar scent hit his nose. Jasmine. He sighed as for the briefest moment his mind told him that he was still at a time when it was acceptable for her to be in his bed.

Unfortunately for him he realized instantly that that was wrong he turned over noticing the girl next to him and let out a small yawn. "Hey Kit-Kat." He greeted using a silly nick name that he had given her when they had started dating.

Jinx bit her lip as the storm outside grew angrier. "Hey... I'll go if you want." Her voice sounded strained, as she tried to process what had made her think this was a good idea. "I just had a bad dream and ended up here.."

He could tell by the sound of her voice she was crying. He moved getting a better look at the girl. "It's okay." He would never confess that her nightmares were his dreams come true. His hand gently brushed the side of her wet cheek. He wanted to kiss her wrap her in his arms and take away every doubt and fear. But that ship has long since passed. He moved back a little bit but opened up his arms. It was a suggestion laced with hope that she would seek the comforts of him. "You know I don't mind sharing my bed." He whispered.

Jinx turned into his arms her hand on his shoulders as she swallowed her breath. She closed her eyes with a deep breath in. "Thanks.. So much... I'm really sorry for waking you."

He smiled not that she could see it. "Of course anytime." He gripped her waist pulling her against him. She was so skinny that he loved taking her in his arms. Jinx breathed in his fresh scent sleeping all night in his arms much like she had before. She couldn't help but wonder why she could still open his door. Wally sighed as he stared at the walls of his room. He felt her body slowly relax each and every muscle melted and gave into sleep. Her head on the expense of his shoulder and he could feel her chest falling and rising against him. He laid there for a long time just letting the feeling of her body comfort him. Eventually he fell asleep.

Jinx woke up the same way she always had, a small cat like yawn and stretch. Her cat eyes fluttering open as she looked up at the sleeping man she'd cuddled all night. She kissed his cheek before combing out of the bed in her boy shorts and a tank top.

"You sleep well?" Came his tired voice. He hadn't even opened his eyes yet.

Jinx smiled. "Yeah I really did. Back to sleep for you. It's no where near noon yet." She teased as she looked down at what she was wearing. "Think there is any one in the tower who hasn't seen me in my underwear at some point?" She chuckled. "I need to start sleeping with more clothes on."

He did a half chuckled at her comments. "Why stop now? You could always be like Argent who sleeps in her uniform. Personally I like you how you are." He replied a little too honestly.

"How do you know what Argent sleeps in?" There was a hint of jealousy. She tossed a pillow at him.

"Midnight snack runs I made a joke about it and she looked at me like I was moronic. In fact she said something a long the lines of why wouldn't I wear it to bed I may need to get up quickly." He shrugged it off.

Jinx laughed. "Could you imagine me on a mission dressed like this?" She left out the room at that thought.

A few hours later a dejected Beast Boy knocked on Wally's door. "Hey man you in there?"

Wally lifted his head and looked to his door his ears told him it was his friend but one that wasn't usually found in this tower. "Hey man come in."

Garfield came in with a sigh. "I need a guy's night.. You up for it?" He leaned on the door frame getting a strange sweet smell. "You bring somebody home last night?"

Wally nodded "I'm down." As he heard Gars question his face flushed. "Jinx had a nightmare. She has a hard time sleeping alone anyways."

Gar smirked. "Have a good night then?" He crossed his arms over his chest finding the blush interesting. He didn't see his friend blush very often. Flirt? Always, blush never.

"It wasn't like that." He stated "It more of trying to comfort her you know." his voice low and sad.

He pushed the door shut behind him. "Spill man, I haven't heard you sound like that... Well ever really." he was watching him closely.

Wally ran his hands through his hair. "I really have second doubts about this break up." He exhaled.

Gar blinked. "Really now? Didn't you guys break like six months ago? Have you told her?" He asked more curious about what his friend would say next.

"No I haven't said anything I just never realized how much I care about her until it was too late. Now I wonder if I always loved her and just didn't know it."

"Did you guys say you loved one another when you were together?" He knew he was probably digging to deep and in turn would have to spill. "What even happened with you two?"

"No, at first it was just a blur of emotions egging each other on. The excitement of first kisses then that sparked into lust and being with each other. Then that slowly faded. I'm friendly guy I can't help it and I guess she took it as something other being friendly. We fought a lot and then we just stopped talking. I stopped trying to be the perfect boyfriend and for that we decided that it would be better if we just took a break." He shrugged. "It never was going to work."

"They are all work. A hell of a lot of work. Did you want it to work is the real question?" He asked trying to get a better understanding of the situation. He knew jinx had spent nearly a dozen nights in his tower with Rae crying more nights then not. He knew the girl acted tough.

"Now I do.. I mean, I'd work to make it work. For her."

Gar shook his head. "I know what you mean by that. Watching Rae is killing me. She acts like I don't know what's going on." he looked to him. "I didn't ask about now though. I asked about before."

"I can't explain it man I want to say yes that I would have but now not having her has opened my eyes. I was so immature when I joined up with you guys." He raised his brow. "What's happening with Raven?"

"She's seeing somebody. And before you ask I respected her to much to say who. But she sneaks off at night and comes back smelling so strongly of him of him it nearly makes me sick. But I know he's just using her to get off." He shook his head. "So you going to try and win her back?"

Wally looked down at his hand and nodded. "Yeah maybe, let's get out of here its starting to feel like a funeral in here." He mumbled.

Gar nodded as he opened his friends door. "Let's go forget about our problems." he smiled fumbling with his car keys as he tilted his head at the scene in the hallway. He leered as Jinx pulling on Argent who was griping her door. Jinx had dressed Argent up in tight skirt and fishnets and a top that fit her well. "Come on peaches please. Sunshine keeps standing me up." Jinx herself was in a nineteen fifties style pin up dress.

Wally blinked getting a good look at her. "Jinx are you going out?" He shouldn't be surprised but her choice of outfit but deep down it stung. He had bought her the dress and thought it fit her like a dream.

"Probably not, no one wants to go out with me." She pouted as Argent moved just right sending Jinx crashing to the floor. She sighed as Argent slammed her door shut. "I thought she looked good.. It was all black.. I thought I did good." She shouted through the door. Gar was watching Wally more then the girls. He knew the look on Wally's face. And he knew how Jinx was, especially after the break up. She seemed almost desperate for affection and attention constantly.

Wally looked at Gar. His eyes pleading with him to understand. "Well we were going to have a guys night but if its okay with Gar you could come too." He suggested

"Sure but I'm going to call you Jerry all night. And you're required to rate the girls we look at too." He shirked thinking himself clever.

"Jerry?" She shrugged. "And I do enjoy the finer species every now and then." She held her hand out to Wally. "Help me up?"

Wally grabbed her hand and pulled her. He may have done it on purpose but he made sure she didn't know that, over using is strength and her body weight, his pull forced her right into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her hips steadying her as his eyes locked with hers. "Sorry." He mumbled letting his hands regretfully drop. "We should get going. I'm starved."

Jinx chuckled. "So am I gay Jerry? 'Cuz I look damn sexy in this dress?" She said more to Wally then Gar. She wrapped her arms over each of them. Gar over his shoulders, Wally under his shoulders. Her bright smile back on her lips.

"If you want to be I suppose." He frowned wondering he thought that this was a good idea. Gar was giving him a look of you sure this is what you want. They walked to green jeep and all hopped in.

Jinx was her normal social butterfly self but she was true to her word she only flirted with girls sending them over to the table with her boys. She even got them free drinks.

Gar was watching her carefully. "She doesn't seem as happy as she trying to make herself look." Jinx was watching out of the corner of her eye as a thin classically beautiful women came and day herself in Wally's lap. "You have the prettiest green eyes I've ever seen."

Wally was on his third beer and really was regretting his decision of inviting his ex girlfriend. All he seemed to focus on was how flirty she was with everyone she came in contact with. Even the tan extreme gym junkie bartender was getting a full force of the girl. Wally shrugged not sure what to think of this whole thing as far as he was concerned she was far too playful.

Wally bit his lip as he forced himself be nice to the girl. "That's kind of you, have you met Gar? He's green all over." He stood up. "Seriously everything is green or at least that's what the women say. Excuse me." he moved from the table and grabbed Jinx by elbow.

Jinx turned to look at him with a soft smile. "Whats up?" Her skin was soft but not as warm as it normally was. Her bright eyes watching his.

"I can't keep doing this." he mumbled. Shaking his head he was trying to gather his courage. "All I can think about is you." He pulled her to his mouth kissing her softly. He pulled away and sighed memory of her lips on his. "I'm sorry Jinx. I'm going for a run all be back in a little bit." With that he zoomed out of the bar.

Jinx moved off the wall she had been against. She was confused and beginning to feel her head spin. She texted Rae not expecting a response. She excused herself from Gar going to sit on the patio to get some air. She didn't really know what this all meant. Just that they needed to talk.

'What's wrong?' Came a text back.

Wally ran and ran until he felt like he had burned all the alcohol out his system. His legs felt raw as he looked around a sign that said welcome to Colorado jumped out at him. He sighed running his hand though his hair. "new record." he murmured. He took a deep breath and knew he'd have to get back soon.

'Sure you're not to busy for me tonight?' She texted back instantly regretting her words. She pulled her knees up to her chest sitting in the cool night air. She'd been acting funny for weeks and didn't even really know why.

Raven sighed she really had put herself in a predicament. All her friends had seemed to be upset with her and honestly she didn't blame them. She typed back a response and waited for the girl to text back. 'I'm currently not busy so I'll ask one more time what's going on?'

Jason picked that exact moment to text her. 'Coming to see me tonight my little bird?'

Jinx was breaking down she blamed lack of sleep and the recurring nightmare that was causing it. Sure the alcohol wasn't helping either.'I'm losing my mind sunshine. I just want to be good enough.. For people to not get bored of me.'

'Yes I can't stay as long I have early training tomorrow I don't needed Dick lecturing me'

'I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I promise that it's not because I'm bored of you. Is this about Wally?'

Jason grumbled. 'Screw him. Stay tonight please?'

Jinx set her face on the patio table. 'Kinda...' she sighed. 'It's about everything. I don't even know what I want to do with my life anymore. Like I'm tried of being mediocre.'

'What am I suppose to say? Sorry Rob my duties as a Titan are going on the back burner because I'm too busy sleeping around with the enemy?' She typed back. Jinx message popped up and she felt herself sighing more now. 'Sounds like you need a break for a while ever thought about going back home? Just until you figure out what you want to do?'

'That his older brother is borrowing you.' He grumbled. 'Or better yet let me come there.'

Jinx shook her head disagreeing. 'Home is a different country. I lived on the streets there.. Not much to go back to. Plus you know how lonely I get. Maybe I'm just too needy.' She sat up and looked at her communicator. Maybe that's where she belonged though was by herself. Maybe that's what the dreams were telling her. She was good at being a ghost. She took a deep breath.

'And risk being caught? Not happening.'

Wally stepped up behind her his heart hammering. "I think we should talk."

Jason. 'Oh but wouldn't that be exciting the rush of the risk?'

Jinx took a deep breath. "Okay.. Think we should take the inebriated green one home first?"

Raven groaned. 'I'll figure out something.'

Wally felt really guilty leaving his best man alone. Not the best guy night. He nodded. "I promise as soon as we drop him off." He knew that this was going to be a tough conversation.

Jason smiled. 'Wait is that a yes I can come?'

Jinx nodded walking to the car.

Gar was drunk and annoyed to say the least. He took another drink as his friend walked in. "So you do live." He joked.

'It means I'll find away to spend the night. I know for a fact the second I bring you into the tower the alarms will trigger. I'll see you in a bit.'

Wally gave his friend a small sad smile. "Sorry man I had go run off some stream." He held out his hand. "but I'm here to get you home."

Wally helped him out of the car choosing to drive for him. As they drove up to the garage he and wondered if anyone would be awake at this time. Jinx was sitting in the back not making a peep as he nodded to her and helped Gar out. He punched in the coded and slung the green one arm over his shoulder.

Raven had been just leaving when Wally walked into the hall. "Wally?" She questioned before noticing Beast Boy. "What's going on?" She asked eyeing the drunk man on his side.

"Guys night." Wally answered. "Late for you isn't?" He asked raising his eyebrows remembering Gar mentioning late night rendezvous that she was doing. She glared as she looked at her teammate and then him.

"I don't think my activities at night are any of your concern."

Gar felt his stomach slosh back and forth. "Remind me again why I thought this was a good idea?" He looked up and saw Rae. "Oh yeah that's why." He stumbled into the hall towards his room. "Thanks!"

Raven glared up at Wally before trudging off towards Beast Boy. "What is that suppose to mean?" She questioned pulling on his arm.

Gar turned to her his filter long gone now. "You know very well what the means. I'm not as dumb as you think I am Raven and you're a hell of a lot smarter then me. You think I don't know where you're going? What you're doing? Or that it doesn't hurt that you choose him over me?"

Wally shrunk down the hall. "Well I'm going to go I'll see you guys later." Neither one seemed to notice.

"Oh you know all? what do you know? And choose whom over you? How am suppose to choose you when you never even mentioned how you feel about me. I suppose just because I'm an Empath I'm suppose to know?" She hissed venom on her tongue.

"How am I to tell you anything? Every time I go to talk to you about something serious you run off to meditate instead of dealing with it." His own words bit back. "I thought maybe you'd see it my actions. And you know very well I know who you're with. You come home reeking of him. You're playing with fire, what if they found out? Hmm how do you think the rest of the team would take it?"

Her eyes darken as the words fell from his mouth. "You're being ridiculous. I truly worry about your mental health. At least I don't spend my nights getting drunk." She bit. "and you have no idea what I'm doing."

"He's not Jinx Rae! You won't convert him. He's tasted both sides and has no intention of coming back to this side. But go be his little petbird. I'm sure he's waiting for you." He gave her a pointed look.

Jinx was beginning to think he got lost. She huffed leaning her head against the cold window and willed him to come back out.

Raven shut her mouth glaring at him. He some how knew about her little nick name, which made her wonder what else did he know. "Fuck you." She retorted moving from him.

Wally returned just seconds later. "Well that was fun not.." he stated starting the car.

Gar scoffed let her go stumbling into bed.

Jinx shivered. "Hey I thought for a second you weren't coming back."

"Sorry there was an argument. But I told you I'd be back." he looked down at her "come on lets get home."

Jinx nodded. "You start.."

Wally licked his lip unsure of where to even begin. "Look ever since the breakup I've realized that I messed up. Maybe I was too blind or just stupid but now I'm regretting it. That one saying 'you never know what you have until you lose it?' Well I lost you and it kills me everyday to know that you're not mine anymore." He stated thinking it wouldn't have much affect on her.

"So you do this now? Why wait so long? Is this a game, oh she's finally starting to force herself to get over it now I'll say something. When all she wanted was me to chase her?" She shook her head trying to hold herself together. "If I wasn't enough back then why would I be enough now?"

He rubbed his tired eyes wishing he knew the right things to say. "I'm not saying this because I want to hurt you or make you feel stupid. I truly have been fighting this for about the last month now. In the beginning I was stupid and immature. I didn't put in any effort into our relationship and you of all people know that. I was cocky and positive that if I was happy you were too. I was selfish and I'm sorry for that. I'm so sorry I dragged you down a broken path. You deserve so much better but it would be unfair not to tell you that I love you." the words stilled in the air bringing the awkwardness with them.

Jinx felt the tears break free the rolled down her cheeks. She rested her head on the palm of her hand. She wondered if he knew how long she had waited to hear those words. She looked down and sighed this to him at first would seem random. "Do you know why this dress my favorite?" When he shook his head. "You bought it for me.. And the first night I wore it out you never took your eyes off me. For that night I felt good enough."

He placed his hand on the curve of her pale cheek. "No." he whispered. As the tears poured out. He whisked them away. "I love this dress always have." He mumbled. "Please don't be upset Kit-Kat. I'm sorry. I understand that this is not the right to place to put this on you know but I just want you to know that I would treat you better than a queen. You're my everything."

Jinx took a deep breath. "You have to earn it... I'm not going to just come running back and start where we left off.. What do you want from me?" She asked her mind still spinning.

He could work with that. He nodded understanding. He gripped the wheel once more. "I just want you to tell me when I'm not being a good enough or whenever you feel under appreciated tell me. And I also what you in my bed. I sleep so much better with you in it."

Jinx nodded. "Okay..." She looked up at him. "We'll both have to learn each other again. And earn titles.."

He quite as he pulled into the underground area of the south Tower. "Can I kiss you?" He whispered suddenly. Looking at her with his eyes gleaming.

Jinx nodded slowly looking at him as the tears dried up. "I almost left tonight.." she confessed thinking about how close she was to leaving the club after he took off running.

"I was so worried you had." He leaned in over her car console and cupped her cheeks and kissed her deeply. Jinx felt her heart race as she leaned into the kiss. That same familiar spark he'd grown to know lingering on her lips. And just like that it was like no time had passed at all. It was clear they had an connection. He sighed as all the weight of the world seemed to roll off his shoulders. He decide that he wasn't going pull away first, no he was thriving on the feeling of her. Jinx let her tongue tangle with his for a long while. She eventual pulled away with a content sigh. "So sleeping in your bed then?" She asked

"Of course." He smiled. As soon as they were inside he pulled her into his bed and tucked her into his warm body.
