Too much suspense! No A/N!

"What the hell is going on here?" Jinx hissed, glaring menacingly at Wally. He gulped audibly.
"W-ell…we were just…uh…" he stuttered.
She walked forward, backing him into the room. The door slid shut automatically. "Wally, I just woke up to the sound of two people who betrayed me talking about me like I was on another damn continent. You'd better have one hell of an explanation." Her eyes were glowing and pink sparks played around her fingers.
"We weren't talking about you." He said. The sparks grew larger and her eyes narrowed. "Well, I mean…we were talking about you, but I mean…really, we were talking about how dumb we were."
She narrowed her eyes further, but he could see that it was mostly from confusion. "Why-" She began, speaking slowly. "Why does you two being idiots have anything to do with me?" All of her anger was gone, replaced by bewildered confusion.
He smiled gently, taking a step towards her. "Jinx…" She shivered visibly. "Us being idiots has everything to do with you."
"We were morons because we lost you. We both had a chance and lost it. That makes us the stupidest people on Earth."
Wally took another step towards her, bringing his face within inches of her own.
She looked up at him and felt caught in his eyes. He felt himself being pulled closer to her as if by some unseen force.
"Wally? What-" she started. He cut her off with a finger on her mouth.
"Shh. We wouldn't want to wake Nightfire." He said with a smile and a rather wicked glint in his eyes. She nodded, his finger still on her mouth. His gaze lowered from her eyes to his finger. And her lips. He shifted his finger and ran it over her bottom lip. Withdrawing his finger he leaned towards her, turning his head to speak in her ear. In an urgent, husky whisper he said "Please, Jinx. Give me the chance to stop being an idiot."
Her breath caught and her heart rate doubled, maybe even tripled.
"Please," he continued. "I'm not sure how much longer I could live without you."
She turned her head to look in his eyes. Her lips twitched into a shaky smirk. "Do I get to take you apart and see what makes you tick?"
His heart soared and he grinned. "Hmm…" He said, cocking his head to one side. "Me? No. The suit?…" He let a grin answer his own question and Jinx blushed, but she didn't resist when he slid his arms around her waist.
He slid a hand up and down her side, using the other arm to pull her close. He moved the hand that had been stroking her side up behind her head, interweaving his fingers through her smooth hair. He gently used that hand to tilt her face up to his.
"Thank you."
His mouth fell on hers like a soft caress. It just lingered there for a few moments, absorbing the sensation, before he began adding more pressure. He tilted his head and his tongue came seeking for the soft purchase of her mouth, which opened of its own volition.
The kiss became deeper and deeper, each of them demanding more and giving it without question. They broke it off and just stared at each other, surprised for only a moment that they had somehow shifted to the floor.
Wally reached a wondering hand to her face and gently stroked her cheek, grinning at her in a lopsided manner. He let the hand drop to her waist, delicately massaging her side. She lifted one hand to his face, gently fingering his mask. She raised her eyes to his, a question in them. He nodded in answer, face solemn.
It wasn't that she hadn't seen his face before. There was something about a mask on a hero or a villain. It was their ultimate weapon. Anonymity. Allowing someone to remove your mask was giving them the key to your life. Literally. They could turn around and give anyone information allowing them to kill you.
She shakily slid a few fingers under the edge of his mask. Gently, she pulled it off his face and over his head. She was almost startled to see Wally beneath the mask, as if she had half-believed it wasn't him. She gently traced the outline of his mask, a small, disbelieving smile on her face.
He placed his hand over hers, weaving his fingers between her own. He used his hand to lift her hand to his mouth, kissing it gently. He lifted his face to hers, using the hand still on her waist to pull her closer. He kissed her gently on the mouth and pulled back. He began moving along her face, down her jaw line, leaving soft kisses in his wake. She groaned aloud at the new sensation and she swore she could feel his grin even as he moved to her neck.
"You like?" He said teasingly between one kiss and another. She nodded mutely, then gasped when he gave her a little nip on the spot where her neck joined her collar bone. Her eyes drifted shut as he continued onward, pulling the neckline of her pajamas away from her shoulder to expose the soft flesh underneath. He reached the end of her shoulder and lifted his mouth back to hers, planting upon it a kiss that could only be described as wicked.
She pulled back from his mouth with a grin. Leaning over, she whispered "Careful, Flash, your dark side is showing."
He took her face in his hands. "Honey, I think we both know whose fault that is." He chuckled. He slid both hands all the way down her sides, tracing her curves. When he reached her waist, he gripped it gently and pulled her so she was straddling his lap. She blushed and tried to pull away, but he slid his arms around her waist and cut off her protestations with his mouth.
She groaned and gave in, swearing she'd take her revenge later. He pulled back slowly, giving her a final peck before pulling back completely.
She smirked slightly. "You know I'm gonna get you back for that." She said mock-seriously.
He grinned. "I was actually counting on it."
She raised an eyebrow at him. "You're so sure you're going to like it?"
His grin widened and his eyes darkened. "I don't think there's anything you'd do that I wouldn't like."
She wiggled backwards slightly. "What if I just left?"
His grin didn't falter, if anything, it grew. "I said anything you'd do."
She stuck her tongue out at him, but made no move to get up.
Wally grinned and tightened his arms around her waist, pulling her flush against him. Her eyes flew open when she felt just how tortured he'd been these past three weeks…or really, since that first day at the museum.
Leaning down to nibble slightly on her shoulder, he whispered. "I'd be fine staying in here all night, but my room might be a little more comfortable…"
Her breathing became just slightly ragged. "Wh-What about Nightfire?"
"She's asleep. And I'll bet you anything that Robin and Starfire go at it like rabbits. She'll stay asleep." (A/N:…about the Rob/Star reference…I think I'm sugar high…)
Jinx nodded slightly, gasping when he bit just a little too hard. He soothed it with his tongue and she felt like she would practically melt into a puddle right there.
Kissing her quickly on the lips, he picked her up and ran at super speed straight to his room.
There was a slight whoosh of wind in the living room, stirring Nightfire's black hair. There was a small muted click of a door's lock somewhere in the apartment.
