This is for the 100 Situations community on LJ. I chose Table 1, and the pairing is Kid FlashxJinx, since I've been sort of obsessed with Jinx after deciding to be her for Halloween. The chapters will be, unless otherwise specified, unrelated, and will differ in genre and potentially in KFxJ relationship and rating. Chapter-specific notes will come at the beginning of chapters as needed. And if you've got any requests, ideas, or suggestions for something you want to see happen, please don't be afraid to let me know!
Disclaimer: I almost forgot this! But it doesn't change the fact that I don't own anything.
001: Tired
It was the one problem Jinx had with Kid Flash: He was never tired.
Now, to be fair, the word "never" was a little of an overstatement; it wasn't like Kid Flash had not once in his life been nor ever would be tired, but it was so rare to see him slow down- no pun intended- that the probability of seeing him worn out was about the same as that of Jinx braiding her hair- there was a slight possibility, but not enough to get your hopes up.
Jinx didn't know if it had something to do with his super-speed abilities or if it was simply the fact that Wally West had endless amounts of energy, but whatever the reason, there it was. And sometimes it drove Jinx crazy.
"Kid Flash, can we please go home now?"
This was one of those times.
Said Kid turned around so that he was walking backwards down the sidewalk and facing her. A broad smile plastered on his face, he shook his head. "Nope."
Jinx groaned. "Why not?"
"It's not even late."
"It's half past midnight!" Jinx exclaimed, opening her palms upward as if to further her point by emphasizing the inky blackness of the sky. The streets around them were silent and empty, a strange juxtaposition to the loud and onlooker-crowded burglary they'd apprehended a few blocks away just twenty minutes ago. After the thieves had been handed over to the police, Jinx had turned to go back in the direction of Kid Flash's apartment, but he had had other ideas, and had led her in the completely opposite direction. The completely opposite direction that they were still aimlessly wandering along now.
Kid Flash, continuing to walk backwards, replied, "Well, I'm not tired."
"You're never tired!"
He shrugged. "So?"
"So, I'm tired!"
Kid Flash pursed his lips and nodded slowly. Then he turned so he was facing forward and said, "We need to get you some coffee."
Rolling her eyes, Jinx responded, "The sooner I get my own means of transportation and don't have to rely on you to get me home every night, the better."
"I want to do something fun," Kid Flash said, ignoring her previous statement. "What do you want to do?" Before Jinx could open her mouth, he added, "Other than go home, of course."
Jinx put her face in her hands and stopped walking. "Wally…"
"Have you ever been to the beach at night? It's so peaceful there when it's empty. Come on, it's only a few miles that way."
"Wally…"
"You can see the stars really clearly from the beach. I think it has something to do with not being near buildings with lights on, but if that's the case then-"
"Wally!"
Finally Kid Flash stopped and turned around, and when he saw Jinx with her face in her hands and her shoulders shaking he thought for a moment she was crying, until she lifted her gaze to him. There were indeed tears running down her face, but they were accompanied by great peals of laughter.
Finally, after taking a moment to compose herself and finding her breath, Jinx managed to speak. "Are you even more hyper at twelve-thirty in the morning?"
Kid Flash laughed and made his way back towards her. "Come on," he said, putting on arm around her waist. "Let's get you home."
But Jinx just smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder. "No," she said. "The beach sounds nice."
