So, a friend of mine recently started a one-shot collection, and I decided that I wanted to start one too. So, this is about Jinx. It's her birthday. It been a couple of years since the Final Battle, and Wally and her are living together now.


Birthday Flowers

'I must be forgetting something...' Jinx thought as she walked down the path to her apartment. All day and during her patrol, something had been lurking at the back of her mind, refusing to come forward. The witch woke up today with an oddly happy feeling, followed by a confused one. Jinx racked her brain, face scrunched up as she reached down to get her apartment key from her skirt pocket.

However, when Jinx stepped into her living room, she stepped on a puddle of red rose petals. Looking oddly at them, a small smile appeared as she followed a trail that led to her and Wally's bedroom. Standing in front of the closed door, she wondered why her boyfriend had left this trail. It was sweet of him, but she still had no idea why he was doing this. But she opened the door anyway.

"Wall-" she stopped in her tracks, "What...?"

"J-Jinx?" She found Wally sitting on the edge of their bed, looking quite scared. He was surrounded by presents and flowers. Some of the gifts were badly wrapped, while others shone with hard work.

Something clicked, "Is it my birthday?"

"Y-yeah..." Wally replied. "I came in here so that you'd find me with your gift, and I sat here." he held up a package in his lap. "And then, something came in, opened its wings, and all these presents just appeared. And, I think one's alive." he shyed away from a suspiciously shaking box on the floor. Jinx had to bite back laughter.

She bent down and picked up a small gift near the door. The card read 'Happy Birthday, traitor' A division sign was drawn in the corner. Slowly and cautiously, she opened the lid and stared at its contents. A hand-made book sat in the shallow box. The same division sign was drawn resting on a badly drawn plate, and when she opened the book, she recognized some of the dishes. They were ones that Billy Numerous had made while she was still with the HIVE. Some were titled with things like 'See-more's Favorite' or 'Crap That I Only Cook for Angel'.

"Oh..." Jinx said quietly, sniffling. "I think that was Kyd Wykkyd you saw."

"Wait." Wally stood slowly and looked around at the presents. "Are you saying that all of these are from you old HIVE friends?" he asked.

Jinx picked up a bouquet of white carnations, tied with a green ribbon, and a small eye drawn on the card. She smiled as she took in their scent. "Yeah...they are..."


Hoped you liked it! I just thought it would be nice to see that her old friends don't hate her or anything, and it feels good to finish a story, even if it is a one-shot. Well, please review and tell me what you think!
