Jinx walked into her apartment, having taken the long way just in case Raven had followed. When the door the feline leaned back against didn't come crashing down, Jinx found it safe to assume that she hadn't been followed. A relieved sigh leaving her, fuchsia eyes looked about the loft that she had come to call home. Finally, I can relax and get back to the book I was… A noise from the kitchen interrupted the sorceress's thought and caused her to tense up even more so.
The thought of an intruder in her home caused the feline's blood to boil, but some voice buried beneath the anger and irritation asked if this was how the people she had robbed from felt. Pushing off the door, Jinx used her cat-like stealth to creep her way into the kitchen. There in here kitchen, hunched over raiding her fridge was an all too familiar red haired, wide shouldered figure. Her guest having yet to take notice of her presence mumbled something about not having enough of a selection when it came to food.
"If you don't like it go raid someone else's fridge, Wally," Jinx said and laughed when the speedster hit his head on the open freezer door above him. A bemused smile graced her lips as he turned to face her.
"Jinx, I was, uh…you caught me off guard," Wally – better known as the Kid Flash – said, a hand moving to rub the back of his neck as a sheepish expression formed on his face.
Slender arms crossed. "You don't say."
Blue eyes watched her. "I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by."
"Uh-huh." Jinx's eyes narrowed. "Your roommate didn't restock the fridge and then you remembered that I usually had a good selection when the munchies hit, didn't you?"
Wally hopped up onto the counter. "So, been awhile since I saw you. Have I mentioned how great you look?" He asked then smiled.
The innocent smile that formed on his face was one thing that Jinx hated about him…and that was because she had never been able to resist it. She had to admit that she owed Wally a lot. After all, the speedster had shown her that she wasn't simply destined for evil, even though it had taken years to truly believe it. Smiling lightly, Jinx moved over to the fridge and removed a bottle of Blue Frost Gatorade.
"No, you haven't and I thank you for the compliment…even if it is a pathetic attempt to change the subject."
"Well you see, a little birdie told me that priceless objects were missing in Jump City and that a pink haired assailant was to blame."
They fetched a pretty good price if I remember correctly, the sorceress thought as she closed the refrigerator door. "And would this birdie happen to been six foot, wear a cape, and smell like cheap hair gel?" Jinx asked, smirking.
Disapproving, yet concerned blue eyes met her gaze. "I thought you were giving that life up Jinx," Wally said, his tone just as disapproving as his eyes.
Ah man, I hate it when he pulls that tone, Jinx thought and suddenly found that she was very thirsty. Twisting off the lid and taking a large swig of the blue liquid, Jinx walked out of the kitchen and headed towards her room. "Well I'm beat. If you need to crash here tonight go right ahead."
"Jinx…"
"Night!" she squeaked out before shutting her door. "And don't even think of trying to sneak in here, Road Runner! You lost that privilege long ago," she called out to him.
Wally shook his head and sighed. "Fine, I'll just talk to her in the morning," he mumbled as he plopped down onto the couch and grabbed the TV remote.
Safe in the refuge of her bedroom, Jinx changed into her pajamas and then climbed into bed. Once finding a comfortable position on her Full sized mattress, the sorceress found that her mind wandered to a certain violet-eyed Titan. I wonder why she let me go. A yawn escaped her and she snuggled down into her covers more. I'll just have to ask her…in person.
AN: Dun. Dun. Dun. Ok, I tried to make up for such a short second chapter. I hope you liked it! Please review! And of course, much love to my current readers and reviewers!
