So sorry I've been inactive! Not sure if people will like this ending, but I needed to get this finished.
Jinx was starting to regret her decision of coming back to Jump. Those two words on the little card had been a big enough clue of where he wanted her to go to meet him.
She shivered from the cold in the slightest as she walked among the busy main street. The little shops and boutiques filling themselves with holiday gifts for the upcoming season. She had her pink hair down and that was another decision she was regretting.
Ever since she decided to use her civilian identity again, unless she was on superhero business she went out as Linda Park. She hadn't gone out as Jinx without her costume in years, close to two decades.
Jinx saw her destination nearing and she shivered, not from the cold this time. The first place they met wasn't romantic at all to most people.
She was robbing the place for a pretty sparkly good luck necklace she wanted and he was stopping (not really) from doing so. He told her to trust him after a good five minutes of them talking and she whacked him with it in the head along with a caution wet sign.
The sun had gone to sleep now and the full moon sent waves of nostalgia through Jinx. A red rose and a whoosh of displaced air on the roof behind her.
Jinx walked up the steps of the museum and wasn't surprised when the door was unlocked.
She let herself in.
Inside the Museum
Wally was starting to fidget a lot. Scratch that, he'd been fidgeting ever since he got here. His Kid Flash suit was stretched a little due to his height. Hard to believe that when he, 15, Jinx 16 going on 17,was only a couple inches taller than her at the time.
Now, when they were standing next to each other, he had to look down to talk to her.
His breathing evened out and that's when he knew she was there. He had thanked his lucky stars that the Egyptian exhibit was there because the same good luck amulet Jinx tried to steal was there.
She walked towards it, remembering the same place it was last time.
"Need a little luck?"
Be smooth, Wally tried to tell himself. He could feel his anxiety eating at him.
Jinx smiled and something in her chest blossomed.
"It's only a myth, who are you?"
Jinx turned around and saw him leaning against the pillar like he was the first time. His arms were crossed together, nonchalantly despite his thrumming heart.
"I'm the first Kid Flash, the second Flash, and Wallace Rudolph West. All three who despite their stupid mistakes, miss you Jinx."
Jinx smiled and pushed her hands in her pockets closer to each other.
"And if you would," he took a couple steps closer, "You could trust me." Wally's hand was outstretched in front of her. It felt so right she wanted to cry.
She didn't though, Jinx put her hand out near his and let it hover.
"On second thought," this was the part where her hand would glow pink and throw him across the room, but this was their second chance.
"In order for us to do this right, we both have to trust each other." He looked confused, but she put her reassuring hand in his.
"I'm Jinx, top student of the former HIVE Academy, Ex-leader of the HIVE Five, member of the Titans, and now Justice League, but," her throat went dry, "I'm, I'm also Linda Jinx Park."
Wally's eyes widened as she transformed her pink hair to dark, ebony. Her pink cat eyes to light brown, her pale skin to fair.
Linda looked straight at him to see what his reaction would be. She didn't have time because his lips were on hers. Linda put her hands on his jaw, and Wally wrapped his arms around her waist. One kiss. Two kisses. Several more. They weren't searing, wet lip kisses, they were longing, innocent kisses.
He slowly pulled away, resting his forehead on hers.
"You know what this means, right?"
Linda looked into his clear blue eyes.
"Sweep me off my feet, Red."
He did. And he never let her get away again.
