Memories

When Gigi left the apartment, she was dressed in ripped jeans and a tight black shirt. She glared in annoyance when she saw Kid Flash still waiting for her.

"Go home," She growled, clenching her fists. He moved in front of her.

"You can hex me if you want," He invited. Gigi took a step back.

"Hex? What do you think I am? Some kind of a witch?" She asked, incredulously.

"That was your power. You hexed people and objects," He said, trying to help her remember. She looked blank.

"That's an unfortunate power," She said, walking. Kid Flash followed her.

"Is that your work uniform?" He asked, looking at her outfit. Gigi nodded stiffly.

"Where do you work?" He asked. She didn't answer.

"It doesn't matter if you tell me or not, I'll still find out," Kid Flash grinned. Gigi rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she took off running.

"Hey!" Kid Flash yelled. Gigi didn't look back. She ran in an alley, flattening herself against the brick wall.

"I'm the fastest kid alive," She heard a voice say beside her. She groaned in despair.

"You are so CREEPY! What will it take for you to leave me alone?" She exclaimed. He looked at her, unabashed.

"Just remember. Just remember that you're Jinx," He pleaded. Gigi blinked and looked away.

"I'm going to be late for work," She said quietly and walked away.

"You can't keep walking away from me," Kid Flash said, immediately next to her. She let out an angry sigh. They walked in silence until they reached a bookstore. The sign read "Secondhand Books". She opened the door and walked in.

"You work here? Cool!" Kid Flash said, looking around. The small store was crowded with books. They weren't just stacked on the shelves, they were stacked near the chairs, the potted plants and even balancing on tables. The store had a nice, musty, comforting smell. Faint music was playing ahead. A girl at the counter looked at him. She had bright red hair and black lipstick on.

"You pick up a stray, Gee?" She asked Gigi. She had a thick British accent. Gigi rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I guess he's following me now," She growled. The girl laughed.

"Awh, kinda like a puppy," She said, eyeing him. Kid Flash smiled politely.

"I'm Kid Flash," He introduced himself.

"Tabby," She said and began organizing the magazines.

"Will you please go away now?" Gigi whispered urgently to Kid Flash who shook his head.

"I love reading," He said as innocently as he could, "Could you help me pick out a book?"

Gigi moved away from him and started organizing the books. "Tabby will help you." She said, coldly. Kid Flash looked at Tabby, who winked at him before saying, "You know, if the customer requests you, you have to help him, Gee,"

Kid Flash turned to Gigi triumphantly. Gigi glared at Tabby, who smirked back.

"What do you like reading?" Gigi asked him stiffly. Kid Flash shrugged.

"What are your favorite books?" He asked, not giving up. Gigi thought about it for a while.

"I like Edgar Allen Poe," She said quietly, and pulled out a book and held it out to Kid Flash. The title read: The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe. Kid Flash took it eagerly.

"He's the master of suspense," Said a boy who was sitting in a chair. He looked up at them, or rather, at Gigi. Gigi smiled faintly.

"Agreed," She responded and knelt down, stacking books. The boy stood up.

"Do you work here?" He asked. She gave him a look.

"No, I just love stacking books in random bookstores," She replied sarcastically.

"Who doesn't?" He asked. Gigi looked at him and giggled softly. Kid Flash felt his stomach tighten.

"My name is Michael," The boy introduced himself. He had sparkling brown eyes and shaggy blonde hair. Gigi straightened up and faced him.

"I'm Gigi," She said, smiling at him. "It's nice to meet you,"

"Gigi," Kid Flash interrupted. "Can you show me where the horror section is?" She briefly turned to him.

"It should be over by the left side-," She started to say, pointing, but Kid Flash took her arm.

"Can't you show me?" He asked, hoping to get her away from Michael. Gigi groaned and rolled her eyes at him.

"Can't you do anything?" She complained but started to lead him to the section. She looked back over her shoulder.

"I'll see you later, Michael," She called out, while he waved sheepishly. Kid Flash felt his head pound as she led him to the horror section.

"Strange," She remarked, "I never knew you were into horror,"

Kid Flash blushed for a second. "O-Oh yeah," He said, lying. "I love horror,"

Gigi smiled to herself. "Liar," She mumbled. Kid Flash chuckled softly.

"How long have you been working here?" Kid Flash asked. Gigi turned to start re-organizing the books.

"Uhm… a couple months, I guess. I'm a voracious reader," She said.

"Do you like it?" He asked, watching her.

"Yeah, I guess. The people are chill, and I get paid a decent amount," She said, absent-mindedly. "Are you ever going to leave me alone?"

Kid Flash shook his head. This was Jinx. He knew for sure. He just had to make her remember.

"I won't leave you until you remember," He said, stubbornly. Gigi rolled her eyes.

"You're wasting your time," She said, under her breath.

It was late night before Gigi finally closed up shop. "I can't believe you stayed that whole time," She said, smiling a little.

"Not really, I left a couple times to, you know, save the world," Kid Flash winked at her.

"You were gone, like, 5 seconds. It doesn't count," Gigi said, putting on her jacket and locked the shop. "You can go home now," She started walking.

"I thought maybe I'd walk you home," He said, walking alongside her. Gigi surprisingly didn't resist.

"If you want," She said, putting her hands in her pockets.

"I got you something," Kid Flash said eagerly to her. She looked at him.

"What is it?" She asked, amused.

"Close your eyes and hold out your hands, please," Kid Flash instructed. Gigi sighed, but did as he told her to. He put a sketchbook in her hands. She opened her eyes.

"A sketchbook?" She asked, giving him a weird look. Kid Flash nodded, happily.

"It was yours, Jinx," He chuckled. "Remember the unicorns?"

Gigi flipped through the sketchbook.

"Not bad," She said, "Not too crazy about the unicorns, but not bad," She closed it.

"What? You love unicorns!" Kid Flash exclaimed. Gigi laughed a little uncomfortably.

"Uh… Yeah, not since I was, like, 5," Gigi said, handing him back the sketchbook. But he wouldn't take it.

"It's not mine," He said, crossing his arms, "It's yours, Jinx," Gigi shrugged and tucked it under her arm. They had reached her apartment building. Gigi turned to Kid Flash.

"You seem like a nice guy, so let me tell you something," She said, solemnly, "The girl you're looking for, Jinx, probably doesn't want to be found. She was a villain. She probably did things she was really ashamed of. Maybe she just doesn't want to go back anymore. She probably doesn't want to be a villain or a hero. Stop trying to convince her. You should respect her decision," She finished, watching him carefully. "I'm sorry, Kid Flash. But I'm not her," She gently patted his shoulder and started walking away.

Kid Flash thought about what she said. Then, he suddenly realized. He had never told Gigi that Jinx was a villain. Or that he was convincing her to be a hero. He ran off.

Gigi looked behind her to find Kid Flash gone. She sighed sadly. "I'm so sorry, Kid Flash," She whispered, "It's for the best. I'm happy," She shook her head and started walking up the steps. She saw something that made her stop in her tracks. On the top step, someone had set a vase with a red rose in it. "He's not going to give up. He knows," She realized, feeling her heart sink.

(A/N: For those of you who were wondering, Kid Flash isn't crazy yay. Jinx pretends not to remember for her own reasons. I'm writing this story in strictly Kid Flash's point of view. For now.

Please review, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Love you guys!)
