Robin Pov:
Does everyone look younger when the slept? Jinx sure as hell did. Her usually guarded face was relaxed; the stiff horns of her hair had disappeared. Robin listened to the beeping the infirmary machine made. After Jinx had been knocked out by Artemis's arrow, the team had taken Jinx back to the mountain. He knew that some of the team members had been nervous to take her into their head quarters, and who could blame them? Most heroes aren't used to letting villains into their home, especially those who had just attacked a member of their team. But as usual, Jinx was an exception to most villains. And Kidflash looked ready to kill anybody who suggested turning her over to the police. When they had taken her to the mountain, they placed her into one of the beds at the infirmary, placing Robin to watch over her and be there when she woke up. Kidflash had originally wanted the job, but had to settle for watching her on the security camera. Robin was pretty sure that the last thing Jinx wanted to see when she woke up was Wally's face, not that Robin was that much better.
The former Titan sighed as he thought about the team he had once leaded. Did they hate him now? What happened to Beastboy and Raven, who he thought of as siblings? Cyborg, his second in command? Starfire…
To say the Robin didn't miss Star would be a lie. Sure, he acted fine during the day, fighting villains, joking with his friends, even going as far as to flirt with Zatanna. However, there had been more than a few nights when he found that the alien girl had crept into his mind and kept him awake. Robin didn't fancy him self a romanticist, however he truly believed that at two am, when the day was gone and they were truly alone, everybody had somebody that they just couldn't get off their mind. Call it love, call it heartbreak, or just call it plain old stupidity, but Starfire was that person to Robin. He wondered how she was, if she had moved on, or if she even thought about him anymore. He hoped she was happy, because that all he ever really wanted, was for her to be happy.
Robin was brought out of his inner monologue by a soft groan that came from Jinx.
Jinx Pov:
Ugh. She felt like shit, her head pounded like she was nursing a hangover. Despite her goody two shoes career, Jinx was no stranger to hangovers. The parties at the Hive Five headquarters, and many lonely nights after Kidflash had left made sure of that.
Kidflash. That one name caused her to flash open her eyes. The first thing she noticed that was she was in a hospital like room, the second was that she was laying down on one of the beds and the third was her former leader in the corner.
"Robin." She didn't know how she should react. Part of her wanted to scream and curse at him as she did with Wally. Another part of her, a bigger part was too tired. Tired of the wild emotions, the accusations, and the hurt. The red hot anger had dulled to a low longing for her old family.
"Jinx." Robin sounded somehow… younger. Now that she thought about it, he looked younger too. He even looked shorter, his boots didn't have a heel anymore and his spiky hair that always kind of reminded her of a porcupine was gone, cut shorter and not gelled so it laid flat on his head.
"Did you grow younger?" he smiled at that, a small, sad, bitter smile.
"No. I just looked older for the Titans. Stress got to me."
"What did you have to be stressful about? You had a family with the titans Robin, a team of the best heroes that admired you and worshiped you. You led the biggest group of young heroes that anyone's ever seen. You had her." Jinx's tone was not accusatory, just stating the facts. As much as she wanted too, she could not get mad at Robin as she had with Kidflash.
Robin sighed and his face changed so he now looked a million years old. "How are they? How is Star?"
"They miss you Robin. She misses you. When you and Wa- Kidflash left the titans almost got disbanded. It was chaos."
Robin bit his lip. "I miss them too Jinx… I guess I won't have to anymore though there coming to pick you up from here tomorrow. I'll see them then I guess."
Jinx laughed, sadly. "That's going to be one hell of a reunion."
Robin chose not to respond to her comment and instead got. "I'm going to tell the team you're awake. I'm sure some of they want to see you very badly.' He didn't have to say Wally's name to know who they were talking about. Just before exiting he paused at the door. 'Oh and Jinx can I ask why Cyborg had you rob a store in HappyHarbor?"
"There was alien activity reports going on around here. We got a lead that the justice system might be corrupt form the activity. Cyborg thought itd be good for me to get captured so I could go undercover. Guess that plan didn't really work.' She paused for a moment, before changing the subject. 'Robin, is Kidflash dating anyone?"
He smiled at this. "No, not since you."
She felt a small ball of tension that had been in her stomach realese. "Okay, thanks."
"No problem. Thanks for not hexing my ass off." and he left. Jinx was left alone with her thoughts till Wally showed up.
"I guess I'll always have this longing in my heart,
and you'll have a piece of me."
