A/N: Hello again! Have a nice Christmas everyone? (And/or New Year) Get what you want? If you don't celebrate Christmas, sorry. Ignore me, Enjoy the painfully short chapter and Review! (It makes me update faster!)
(About my replies)
I'm still getting the hang of looking at my reviews on since before I just used to trawl through my email to find who'd reviewed and would often miss people. I think I've gotten everyone's but if I missed yours please tell me and I'll fix it.
Freakycuteducky – I always thought Jinx would calm him down a little. Make him more serious. I dunno I'm probably not getting that across
Musicgal – No, Jinx just cut it vertically. It's explained in the chappie. ('Cause I realized that I hadn't explained it very well)
Lambtastic – Of course he's happy to see her! Wally's just saying Jinx broke his heart when she ran out.
Frosty Pickle Juice – I always tell people to update when I haven't updated any of my stories in YEARS…I'm a total hypocrite!
Mrs. Radcliffe 13 – short yes…I appear to be good at short..(okay, maybe not good but okay)&&&
Jinx blinked and tried to move. An icy cold hand on her arm made her fall still.
"Don't move, you'll give yourself a headache." The voice was calm, collected and strangely comforting. Jinx's eyes flicked open, revealing Raven's pale face. Serena blinked several times before remembering what had happened.
"I cut myself…?" She asked hesitantly, hoping Raven could explain. Raven tapped the bandage in Jinx's wrist making her wince.
"You lost a lot of blood and passed out. Wally was very worried." Raven shook her head. "I've never seen him this serious about someone."
Jinx smiled nervously but pressed on.
"Why'd I pass out? I've bled pretty bad before and I didn't pass out."
Raven grimaced and stretched a long pale arm out to demonstrate.
"Most regular everyday cuts are horizontal across the wrist." Raven drew one long prefect nail across her wrist, leaving a thin white line. "But you cut your wrist vertically along a vein." Raven used her nail to draw another line, this time up her arm along a pale blue vein. "Those kind of lacerations take longer to heal and if left unattended can lead to haemorrhaging and death" Jinx stiffened suddenly, causing Raven to flick her eyes up to meet Serena's. Raven smiled softly, her eyes lighting up gently. This was the first time Jinx had been subjected to the full force of Raven's kind smile and felt instantly relaxed.
"Don't worry. I stopped the bleeding and bandaged it. You'll feel faint for a few days but you'll live." Raven leaned forward to pat Jinx's shoulder, while her other hand slipped into Jinx's good hand, palming a note into her hand. Raven met Jinx's eyes, her face calm but serious
"Robin'll be listening. Don't read it aloud." She whispered, deathly quiet. She rose to her feet, her face still serious but her voice lighter. "I've told Kid to contact me if you pass out again but apart from that I think you'll be fine." Raven smiled once more and glided from the bedroom Serena and Wally had shared all those months ago. Serena blinked several times in shock before unfolding the thin note Raven had palmed into her hand.
I know who you are. Don't panic. Red trusts me. Be careful, Robin is suspicious
Raven.
Serena's breath caught in her throat while her mind raced. Raven knew she was Jinx but according to the note wasn't going to tell anyone. Red was RedX, one of the few people Serena counted as a friend. Why did Red trust Raven of all people? Jinx crumpled the paper and clenched her fist around it, her eyes flashing pink. The faint smell of burning paper reached her nose but she waved it away and brushed ash from her hand onto the bed sheets. She sighed and composed herself, returning to glamour to her eyes and going over her hair with the dying spell. Pink sparks danced in her hair while she looked through Wally's wardrobe. Her things were still hidden at the back, left over from when it had just been the two of them. Serena sighed again; she missed when it had just been the two of them.
