"There's nothing we can do..."

"I'm sorry but..."

"There's no hope, it's up to her..."

"She's only got a 50/50 chance, and the odds aren't looking in her favor..."

All of their words rang in his ear, he hated the fact that they gave up hope, was it because she used to be a villain? But she changed, she was good, a talented leader of one of the new Titan Towers, Robin seemed to trust her, so why did they give up? He looked at her abnormally pale face, her pink cat eyes hadn't opened in over two months, even the hopeful Starfire didn't believe she'd wake up!

He looked at all the tubes connected to her, sustaining her life, the life he wanted more than anything to come back. She had too, there was no question about it, she was needed here, if not for the titans, for him. Shortly after the Brotherhood of Evil fiasco, they had started dating, reluctantly on her part, but he was determined to make her feel lucky, loved, safe, and by Batman he had.

He treated her like a queen, everyone said he was whipped, (then again so was Robin but no one dared to say that to his face) he wasn't whipped, just merely in love; they both loved each other, without even saying it. Despite the fact she was naturally sarcastic, she was caring, (to him only) making him feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

"Come on Lucky," he whispered as he grabbed her hand, he couldn't remember the last time he moved from this seat, setting patiently by her bed. Robin came close to blowing a gasket once he decided he wanted to wait by her side instead of missions, thankfully Starfire helped explain that it would be the same for them if anything ever happened to either one of them.

He very gently moved a stray piece of hair off her perfect face, she was beautiful, inside and out, her physical beauty was stunning, but on the inside she was something else. A caring girl, not sweet like Starfire, but a more "I care but if you tell anyone I will kill you" type, of course he understood, past villain, untrustworthy 'friends'. Yeah, he'd developed walls too, but he had set to work on those with plenty of dynamite!

Two months ago, he still remembered that fight, the two of them were having dinner, some kind of picnic, (because she loved them, strangely enough, though it might be cause there are less people.) He had come so close to telling her he loved her, he would always love her, when the communicators beeped, it took all of his will power not to go drop them in a lake for interrupting Red Star had called, saying there was a criminal messing up downtown, it was so simple, easy villain, yet...

Johnny Rancid was messing up Chicago, again, Titans North led by his girlfriend, were coming very close to defeating the punk, (he may have been going a little too rough). He had thrown him in a wall, what he thought knocked him out, he turned around to flirt Jinx, but the absolute horror on her face startled him. Before he could even move Jinx had pushed him down on the ground, then a gun shot rang and she fell on top of him, blood flowing out.

He could still remember the last words she spoke, the last time he heard her mocking voice, "Jinx?" He sounded scared, he didn't want to believe this, he set up and turned her over so he could see her face and the wound in her chest, he pressed a hand to it to try and starch the blood flow, "Jinx...This isn't happening..."

"Wally..." Her voice was raspy, almost sounding like it was hard to speak, but there was an urgency in her voice, especially since she called him Wally, she only called him that if it was important.

Fighting back tears, ignoring how ambulances and cops were surrounding them, "Yeah, Lucky?" He weakly muttered his voice thick with emotion, she laughed slightly before wincing, "I think that name fits me...I am lucky, lucky to have known you..." She very slowly, shakily raised a hand, which he grabbed and raised to his cheek, she narrowed her eyes as she said something that made him laugh. "Repeat this and I will haunt you."

"But...somehow, someway, through some kinda brain malfunction..." She was very lightly wheezing as she talked, he would have told her to save her strength, but then she would have slapped him. "I-I love you..." Despite the situation, despite the fact that she got shot saving him, his heart sung and wept at those three words, before he could even mumble even one word the doctors grabbed her away from him, it took Red Star, Argent, Kole and Gnarrk to hold him back.

When they got to the hospital, all Titans were there, (Red Star later told him he called on the way to the hospital) the doctor told him that she was in a coma, part way medical induced, said her odds were 50/50, if lucky. They didn't know his Jinx, his Jinx was a fighter, she wasn't going to quit! That was like Beast Boy eating meat, it didn't happen.

He wouldn't give up hope, not ever, she would probably laugh if she saw him now, actually, the thought made him smile. "I love you, Jinx. Ya gotta come back babe." He had uttered those faithful words every day since she had been in here, maybe, just maybe she would hear him and wake up, if only to tell him not to be so sappy. Hearing a door open he looked up to see Red Star, second in command at Titans North, entering. He stood by the bed watching as Flash didn't even acknowledge him past a brief look when he entered.

"Flash...Don't you think...?"

"I'm not leavin', neither is she." It was the same conversation they always had at-he glanced at the clock before turning his gaze back to Jinx-2:00, why didn't Red Star understand? Jinx was going to wake up, she was alright, she wasn't gonna let a simple bullet stop her! Red Star cautiously walked over to the chair, placing a hand on his shoulder, inwardly sighing as he didn't even move, "Flash..." He started in his Russian accent, sounding stern like he was a child who misbehaved. "I know it's hard, but shouldn't we let Jinx..."

"Finish that sentence and I will drop you off at Antarctica." He threatened, he didn't like talking about Jinx...going away, she was going to get better, she was. He squeezed her hand lightly before turned slightly to glare at Red Star, his glare improving since dating Jinx. "Red Star don'tcha get it? Jinx is in there, she's alive deep down in there!" His voice raising as he released her hand and stood up, turning to glare at Red Star.

Red Star's eyes weren't focused on him, but on the bed, Flash however was oblivious, "Flash..."

"No, no I won't have you say it; I don't care what you think! She's in there!"

"Flash, listen..."

"No, you listen I know no one else believes in her, but I do, so until she wakes up no one's touching her!"

"For all that's good, look!" Red Star cried in frustration as he grabbed Kid Flash and forcefully turned her around, Red Star had a small smile while Flash's eyes bugged out, there with her eyes half way open was Jinx with a small smirk, "Hey idiot..." She wheezed barely being able to hear her through the oxygen mask, Flash couldn't contain himself, he instantly hugged her, "Jinxy!" She winced with the force of impact from her boyfriend, while Red Star smiled warmly at them, "I'll go get the doctor." He told them, positive they weren't listening, laughing he walked out as he heard Jinx yelled at him.

"Oww! You idiot release me!" She hissed at him pain flashing through her as he hugged her, once hearing her complaint he pulled back slightly, still above her, very carefully as if she were glass he cupped her check, "Jinx...I gotta say, I l-"

"Pardon me young man," Flash blinked stunned as a doctor and Red Star interrupted him, the doctor removing the oxygen mask, Flash reluctantly sat back down crossing his arms and pouting, did the universe hate him or something? Looking over at Jinx he smiled, nah, it couldn't, it brought her back. He was just about to grab her hand when Red Star hauled up pushing him towards the door, "wait, what are you doing? Release me!"

He struggled against him but Red Star beat him in physical strength, the two left the room entering the waiting room where he saw the rest of the team, Gnarrk and Kole stood up, waiting for the good news that there leader was well.
"Jinx is fine; the doctor's just going to check on her, he needs privacy." He said pointedly at Kid Flash who opened his mouth to protest being dragged out of her room, after he spoke he shut his mouth and pouted, setting down in a chair with a huff.

"Did you tell Robin?" Red Star asked Kole who nodded, patting a seat in between her and Flash, Red Star set down looking over to see Flash fidgeting, sighing he placed a hand on his shoulder, startling him. "Jinx is fine, Flash, the doctor's not going to harm her." Flash nodded not entirely convince, deciding to lighten up him up he remarked causally.

"I am glad though Jinx is back; being a leader is hard, since Robin can be a...Pain in the head?" He cocked an eyebrow, knowing he said it wrong just to make him laugh, which it did, making Kid Flash, Kole and Gnarrk laugh, startling the poor hospital staff. Eventually the doctor came out and everyone stood up, even Gnarrk who was dressed more...accordantly then a loin cloth, (thankfully.)

They all waited with baited breath, anxious to hear what he had to say and not to rush into the room like a pack of rhino's, "She's fine." Those two words sent out a chorus of cheers, startling the doctor as he leaned back in shock, Flash sped past him, making the doctor's hair stand up from the wind, he fell down as Gnarrk ran past him with Kole on his back, while Red Star calmly walked past the doctor who made a solemn vow never to get involved in super hero teens next time.

Jink was using the few seconds she had to rest, she had asked the doctor to hold out on telling them for a couple of seconds so she could breath, knowing her team was most likely scarring the hospital staff, she smiled at the thought of them. She had apparently been out for two months, having only a scar from where she was shot, she'd be out in a week, that is if Kid Flash didn't crush her in a hug, (she was pretty certain he learned hugging techniques from Starfire, the woman could simply hug her enemies to death.)

She unknowingly started grinning at the thought of her boyfriend, she wanted to see all of them, Kole was strangely like a little sister, Red Star was the older brother figure who kept them from killing each other, Gnarrk was, well...Different, Flash was 'teaching' him how to speak, (he had learned 10 new words,) but still, he was simply the muscle of their group. Flash was the jokester, kidding around and making everyone laugh, while she kept them in line and made sure they trained.

Speaking of the devil, the door swung open and Flash was hugging her again, luckily not squeezing, she thought it was okay. Until Kole jumped on the bed and wrapped her arms around her neck, then came Gnarrk who wanted in on the group hug, eventually she was losing the ability to breath.
"Alright everyone let Jinx breath." She was never more thankful for Red Star's voice, everyone reluctantly moved off her as she took in a gulp of air.

At once all of them began saying how much they missed her, how they were so worried, they almost gave up hope, but we're extremely grateful she was alright. She nodded as everyone was speaking, "Okay, I missed you all too." She told them sincerely, she was never more glad than to see their faces, all smiling at her, she never felt this love from the Hive 5, it was welcoming.

Looking over to her grinning boyfriend who looked to be close to vibrating in place, she blushed lightly and turned her head, remembering the last words she had said to him before the coma, her eyes darkened as a horrible thought crossed her mind, maybe he didn't feel the same? Maybe he thought it was humorous she fell in love with him? Unknowingly a vase with flowers broke as a small wave of bad luck emulated from her, Red Star noticing this grabbed Kole's hand gently, "we best leave them be." He whispered to which she nodded, he smiled at his two friends, "we will let you catch up, come."

The three other members walked out, both Kid Flash and Jinx watched them walked out, the door closed as it sound resonated throughout the silent room, instantly a coat of awkwardness enveloped the room, both looking at anything but the other, Jinx waiting for the blow and Flash wondering how to phrase those three simple words. Sighing he turned to look at her, meeting her pink cat eyes with his normal blue ones, grabbing both of her dainty hands in his large ones.

He closed his eyes as he thought of how to phrase it just right so she'd believe him, he loved for more than life, he would do whatever she asked to prove it too. Jinx turned her head away, here it was the blow, she could feel her heart breaking, they had a good run, why did she think it'd last? He inhaled sharply making her wince inside, here it came, the "I think we should see other people speech", she would not cry though, she never cried.

"I love you." Her head snapped back to his, her eyes wide and stunned, did he really say it? While his held honesty, he wasn't lying, there was love and honesty shine in those blue eyes. "You mean it?" Despite the truth in his words and eyes she couldn't help but question it, surely he didn't really love her, the bad luck, the ex-villainess, who would love her?

He couldn't help but smirk leaning closer to where they were nose to nose, "what? You don't believe me?" He teased good naturally, smirking even wider as she rolled her eyes, "you, the uncontrollable flirt, I'm supposed to?" She teased back her eyes narrowing as a smirk grew on her face to match his.

"I'm hurt, you wound me so..." He shook his head slightly, before an idea formed in his mind, "but I think I know how to prove it."

"Oh?" She said the teasing never leaving either of their voices, this was what she wanted the minute she saw him, to tease him relentlessly. "And how will you-Mmph!" Interrupting Jinx is like taking away Robin's bateraang, completely stupid, but there was one way to not get killed, Flash had figured it out, simply kiss her, which she was responding just as much as she wrapped her arms around his neck, his cupping her face.

Both pulled away reluctantly as oxygen was needed, Jinx scooted over, patting the spot next to her, to which Kid Flash eagerly jumped onto. She willingly allowed him to wrap his arms around her, one going around her shoulder, the other her waist, while both of her arms went around his waist. "Believe me now Lucky?" He whispered all teasing gone, as he gently tilted her head up. "I love you and I'd do anything you'd ask to prove it."

"Anything huh?"

"Yup."

"Would you dress in drag and do the hula?"

"...Sometimes I think you hate me..."
