Bad luck and Karmic Cosmos
Hi, sorry I haven't actually done any of my existing stories, but I sorta can't find the notebook I have them written in, so until I find it again, I'm gonna put up some new stuff from my new notebook, I hope you enjoy it!
The "Break up"
"For the last time Wally, it doesn't matter how much stuff you give me, I'm still leaving when my trail period is over, and there's nothing going on between us." Jinx had started her rant with a raised voice, but the last few words were a whisper.
"Jinx, I'm not going to stop trying, I told you…" Kid Flash began, but Jinx cut him off.
"There's something about me that's different, yeah, I know." She said exasperated. "You can keep going all you want, but I'm going to ignore it." She said flatly, turning away.
She felt a breeze that told her he had gone, and turned back around to come face to face with a teddy bear the size of a Labrador, with a bouquet in one hand, and chocolates in the other.
"That idiot." She sighed, opening the note on the bears head. It had simply a heart with a lightning bolt through it.
"He'll run out of money soon." She told the bear, holding it up to her eye level, studying it. She shrugged, and carried it with her to her room and went to bed, with it lying beside her.
He didn't run out of money.
"Or he just started stealing this stuff."
Jinx allowed herself a grin at the thought. Over the last few weeks Jinx had received at the very least a rose a day. They were usually accompanied by gifts of stuffed animals, candy, jewelry (not the expensive stuff, but the hot topic style stuff she liked), and bath and beauty products that still left her baffled.
Finally one day while Jinx was organizing the small army of stuffed animals she now had, most of them unicorns, Kid Flash decided to stay long enough to have a conversation, and been seen for that matter.
"Knew you liked unicorns." He said, leaning against the wall.
"Yeah, I guess I just like how they can be so beautiful, but still gore and maim you." She said in an oddly bright voice.
"You have those things in common." Kid Flash said, walking toward her.
"Why do you keep doing this?" she asked, turning to face him.
"I told you, there's something about you that's different." He said, predictably, though Jinx made no effort to stop him. His voice was serious again, something that happened rarely.
"But haven't you noticed you don't get anything back?" she said.
He locked his blue eyes with her pink ones, something in the back of his head willing him to say something about mustard, but he resisted the urge.
"That doesn't matter to me." He said.
She broke the gaze. "I can't give you what you want Wally, please, just stop." She looked down at the floor, but her voice remained steady. He backed up a little, to give himself room to run.
"Alright, I guess you win." And he was gone in a blink.
She hadn't really expected him to stop. As she woke up she mentally prepared her self for some elaborate display when she opened her eyes. So when she finally did open them and only saw an empty room she was surprised and unbidden into her mind the thought that she was a little disappointed. She shook off that thought quickly however, and got ready for her day.
Two weeks later, she had still received no gifts or visits from her speedy admirer. She would never admit it, but she did sort of miss the attention.
"But only because it was attention, not because it was from him." She told herself firmly.
She thought about how she couldn't possibly be missing that fast-paced, hyperactive dork as she used the shower gel that he had given her, getting ready for her monthly status check at titans tower. Being an ex-villain, she was kept a close, sometimes annoyingly so, watch on.
Jinx arrived at the titan's tower main room, but it was empty of crazy teenagers without adults at the moment. She look around the room, and something large and brown caught her eye from the couch. A large stuffed Willy the Waffle toy was sitting there with a piece of paper attached to its hat.
'I knew he couldn't have forgotten me.' Jinx thought as she walked over to the ridiculous creature and picked up the note.
Have a great day Rae Rae, see ya tonight!
-Wally
She dropped the note in shock and backed away just as the doors opened and the titans entered.
"Oh, Jinx, good you're here." Said Robin spotting her.
She said nothing, but stared as Beast Boy ran at the stuffed toy and held it up in the air.
"Looks like Raven's little boyfriend has been here!" he taunted.
"Give me that!" Raven snapped, bringing the Willy toward her with her powers and blushing, though putting her hood up quickly to hide it.
Something in Jinx's stomach lurched as she realized Raven had not denied any of BB's claims.
"So you and Wall- I mean, Kid Flash are a couple now?" she asked, her voice surprising her with its strained casual tone.
"No." Raven said. "Nothing official, just-"
"Going out every night." Said BB.
"Getting presents every day." Chimed in Cyborg.
"Playing kissy face at the door." Said BB puckering his lips.
"Staying out till all hours." Said Cy. They both cracked up laughing and Raven turned a little where she stood, embarrassed.
Jinx quickly hid her faintly glowing hands behind her back, again surprised at her own reaction.
"How sweet." She drawled, hoping they would think this distaste was simply her personality.
Apparently they had, because Robin proceeded.
"Okay Jinx, so how has it been going?"
"Well, fine really. Nothing major happened while you were in Japan, or since then. Just a jewelry store, nothing intense." She said dully.
"Has Kid Flash still been keeping an eye on you?" Robin asked, glancing over at Raven.
"Not for the last few, wait, WHAT?!" Jinx exploded. "You had him spy on me!?"
"Well we needed to make sure you had some sort of surveillance, and we thought the two of you were friendly." Robin explained, a little apprehensive at the faint pink glow in Jinx's eyes, but hiding it well.
"I am not a child, I don't need supervision, especially from that… that hyper…weirdo! If anything someone should be looking after him!"
Her eyes were full on pink now, as well as her hands. Her breath was ragged, and the other titans look slightly terrified.
"Well, uhm, your probation period is over now, so we can discuss your options." Robin began. Jinx's hands stopped glowing, but her eyes weren't back to normal yet.
"Options?" she asked, her breathing still a little hard.
"Yeah, you can join a team or go solo, but if you do go solo, we'll need to know where you're going."
Jinx looked at the window into the water.
"I've never been solo before." She said softly. "Both you and Titans East are pretty full up."
"Well, we've been forming a new team in Star city…" Robin began. Jinx's eyes snapped onto him.
"Who?" she asked quickly. Robin looked taken aback but answered.
"Argent, Pantha, Herald, and Kid Flash, but if you two are having an issue, maybe we-"
"I'll do it." She interrupted. I'll go to Star city."
"Alright, we'll get Kid Flash up here to take you." Said Robin glaring over at a sniggering Beast Boy, and annoyed looking Raven.
Jinx recoiled a little but composed herself.
"I'll just go pack then." She said, turning to leave.
"You won't be walking will you?" Jinx closed her eyes in an annoyed way. It had been great while it had lasted.
"No Kid Flash, I guess I won't be." She said through gritted teeth.
"Hey Rae." He said, waiting for Jinx to turn around. This was followed by the unmistakable sound of a kiss, and sniggers from BB and Cy.
Jinx whipped around in time to see that it had only been on her cheek, but if you judged by the look on Kid's face you could have sworn he had just gotten to third base. Strange thing was Jinx could swear he was looking straight at her. She laughed lightheartedly, a very uncharacteristic move, and the look on Kid's face vanished.
"Mind if I borrow him for a few seconds?" she asked Raven playfully.
"Be my guest." Raven said, hiding her scarlet face with her hood.
"Aw, now that hurts." Kid Flash said. "Fine, let's go." And he picked Jinx up bridal style, and they were gone in an instant.
