"Wally! Look at her!" The pinkette walked over to the glass cages the cats where being kept in. A small black kitten, no more than a month old, padded over softly to paw at the air holes. There was a soft patch of white that looked like a crescent moon on her forehead. Jinx smiled and put her fingertip in a mock handshake before turning to her boyfriend.

"She's perfect."

Her enthusiasm was met with a pleading whine.

"But Jinx, I don't want a cat. Look over there!" On the other side of the pet store were plastic barred cages, in which a group of golden retriever pups were wrestling one another. Wally grinned at the sight, then back at her hopefully.

She sighed.

"Both of us are out all day. You need to protect Keystone, and I work at STAR Labs. We don't have time for a dog. A cat, on the other hand, doesn't need pampering and a lot of time."

"But cats are boooooooooooring."

"—We're taking her home." Her tone left no room for argument.

The kitten who they named Eclipse (well, Jinx named it, Wally was too busy spamming her phone with pictures of puppies) took to their home extremely well. She had a habit of jumping straight into Jinx's arms the minute she got home, purring and rubbing her head against her chest. To be fair, Eclipse tried to do the same thing to Wally, but he would scowl and ignore her.

A few weeks later, STAR Labs was under attack. Somehow, the League of Shadows had discovered their newest experiment: the ability to put a tracker within DNA itself. They would be able to find any of their targets, forever.

Thankfully, with some backup from a few former villain contacts, they were able to withhold the assault, until the Flash helped ward the attack off.

Jinx, head security of STAR Labs, stood in the middle of the debris from the fight, directing orders to repair their defenses. With a small groan, she tapped her headpiece.

"Jinx to Kid Flash."

"Minx! I just heard, is everything alright?"

"Yeah, we're fine. We need to do a clean up and sweep though."

"Do you need backup?"

"No, but I'm going to be home a little late. Don't wait up."

"Alright." She could almost see his lips jut out in that trademark pout. "I'll see you later. Love you."

"I love you too." The pinkette rolled her eyes but smiled, causing one of the guards to look at her with shock. The soft look on her face instantly hardened as she snapped at him, hands on her hips.

"What are you looking at? Take that to B13. Now!"

At 3:15 AM, the door to their house finally swung open, illuminating the room with the soft glow of the streetlamps outside. It revealed a red haired man on the couch, curled up into himself.

Damn it, I told him not to wait up.

Jinx slipped off her coat and was about to drag him into bed, again, when a black spot caught her eye. At first glance it looked like Wally was cuddling a furry pillow to his chest. It was only when said pillow blinked its eyes open and yawned at her before nosing Wally's cheek that she realized he was cuddling Eclipse.

Wally smiled when the pink nose touched him and curled just a little more tightly around their kitten.

When Wally West woke up to the smell of breakfast, Eclipse was gone, most likely off hunting somewhere. In her place were several printed photographs. A post-it note on them clearly wrote: Your turn to clean the litter-box today.
