Jealousy
(A/N: Hey, when you guys are done reading this, you should most definitely review. It makes my day )
Wally had set on finding Jinx but unfortunately, a robbery came up and he had to deal with that first. After he was done dealing with the robbery, he changed out of his costume and started searching. He found her at last at Jump City's Museum. She was sitting on a bench admiring one of the paintings. She had such a peaceful expression on her face. Wally slowly approached her.
"Good morning, Genevieve," He said, sliding next to her on the bench. She looked up, slightly startled.
"You found me already," She said, impressed. Wally grinned.
"Would've found you sooner but a robbery occurred and you know: duty calls," He said. He looked at the painting she was gazing at. It portrayed a young girl with wings flying up to the sky. There was Latin on the bottom.
"This is my favorite painting in the museum," Jinx said. "Alis volat propriis,"
"What does that mean?" Wally asked, feeling stupid.
"It means: She flies with her own wings," Jinx explained then added, "Sorry I just left. I just needed some time to think,"
Wally exploded into a cheery grin. "You actually apologized," He said, almost tearfully.
Jinx rolled her eyes, but still managed to blush. "Don't get so used to it. It probably won't happen again,"
"I'll have to savor this," Wally said, "I mean, you've never apologized for anything! Not even when you hit me with that wet floor sign,"
"Okay, I get it," Jinx said, almost self-consciously.
"Not even when you called Madame Rouge on me and almost handed me over," Wally went on.
"Okay, I get it!" Jinx said, exasperated. She took a deep breath.
"You better record this, Wally," She growled and stepped forward. "I apologize for hitting you with the wet floor sign and hurting you. I apologize for almost handing you to Madame Rouge. And I apologize for containing you," she said, humbly. He blinked in surprise.
"Awh, I'm touched," He patted his chest. "Apologies accepted. Everyone makes mistakes," Wally added good-naturedly. Jinx looked around the museum.
"Want to see another favorite picture of mine?" She changed the subject, holding out her hand. Wally eagerly nodded and Jinx grabbed his hand and dragged him to the photography section of the museum. She stopped at one as she let go of his hand.
"This is the one I was talking about last night," She said softly, pointing at it, "The one that made me want to go to the beach,"
Wally admired the photo. The photographer had captured the moonlight perfectly on the child. The child's face was serene and happy as she sculpted the sand. Her dark brown hair fell on her face as her dark green eyes sparkled in the moonlight. The waves behind her looked inviting and fun.
"Wow," He said. "That looks so cool!"
Jinx smiled. "I know," She said. "That picture makes me wanna go back to the beach,"
Wally was going to respond but then another thought crossed his mind.
"Did you eat this morning?" He asked suspiciously, turning to her. Jinx nodded.
"Jinx, I hope you aren't lying to me," Wally said sternly. Jinx rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I swear. I ate an apple," She said, looking right into his eyes to show that she wasn't lying.
"An apple? Jinx, that's hardly fulfilling," He said.
"Why are you so worried? I'm fine," She said stubbornly. Wally looked around.
"This isn't exactly where I pictured us talking about this but I'll deal," He began, and leaned in. "You barely eat, and I have to force you. The ONLY time you actually ate enough was at that diner. That's not healthy," He lowered his voice, looking around again.
Jinx looked at him, annoyed. "What is his deal?" She thought, irritated. She had always eaten like this. Her small stomach couldn't handle much anyway.
"Did you eat like this at the H.I.V.E?" He asked. Jinx didn't answer.
"Jinx," He said seriously, grabbing her shoulders. Her heart almost melted when she saw how concerned he looked. Jinx sighed.
"Let's go get some breakfast," She said, trying to appease him. No one's ever really looked out for the Jinx and she was slightly touched and very embarrassed by it. She walked past him and out of the museum.
"You never called me," She heard a voice behind her. She turned around to find Jason. He was wearing a backpack and carrying a sketchbook. He wore a gray beanie and a shark tooth necklace.
Jinx flushed in embarrassment. "That was your real number?" She asked, a little rudely. Jason bowed his head and smiled. He nodded.
"I just…." He paused and then asked, "What's your name?"
Jinx hesitated. "My name is Genevieve. But call me Gigi," She said.
"Pretty name," He mumbled shyly. "You come here often?" He asked.
Jinx nodded, "Alis volat propriis," She said. His head shot up.
"She flies with her own wings!" He said excitedly. "I love that painting!" Jinx smiled and looked curiously at his sketchbook.
"I come here and sketch. This is my inspiration," He gestured toward the fountains and the gardens the museum was surrounded by.
"I come here and draw too," Jinx said, smiling at him.
"That's awesome! We should come here and-,"
"Hey, Genevieve," A voice behind them interrupted. Jinx turned. Wally stood, a little stiffly, at the top of the museum steps. Jason smiled at him.
"Hi, it's Wally, right?" Jason asked politely. Wally nodded at him. Jason turned back to Jinx.
"I'll see you later, Gigi," He said. He ripped out a sheet of paper and scribbled something on it.
"Here's my number again. I hope you'll call. I'd love to see your sketches," He gave it to her and smiled. He waved at Wally. "See ya," He called out and walked towards the gardens. Jinx waved at him. Wally quickly walked up to Jinx.
"Is he stalking you or something?" He asked seriously, glancing at the paper she held in her hand.
"No," Jinx shook her head. "Let's go eat some breakfast," She started walking.
"Well, what did he want?" Wally persisted, walking alongside her. Jinx shrugged.
"Are you going to call him?" He asked. Jinx shrugged again.
"Seeing as his number got ruined after we went to the beach, I'd say he deserves a call," Jinx said. Wally stiffened.
"Do you like him?" He asked, not caring how pathetic he sounded. Jinx rolled her eyes at him.
"Wally, he's just a friend," She said, exasperated. Wally thought about it for a second.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," he said quietly. "Sorry," He apologized. Jinx just nodded absent-mindedly.
"Where do you want to eat?" She asked.
"The Wafflehouse," He said immediately. She gave him a look.
"What?" He said, defensively. "Their waffles are so good, it's heaven. You have to try it,"
Jinx shrugged. She let him lead her around town to the small breakfast place. As soon as she went through the doors, the sweet smell of syrup hit her. Her eyes widened.
"Oh, wow," She said, taking a deep breath. It smelled of sweet, heavy syrup and butter. It was almost nauseating, but the smell somehow managed to whet her appetite. Wally stood beside her, inhaling deeply.
"I love this smell," He grinned at Jinx. He walked right to the hostess, who eyed him coyly.
"Table for two, please," He said. She smiled at him, glanced at Jinx and then said, a little too enthusiastically, "Right this way!" Jinx rolled her eyes.
She led them to a small table. "Your server will be right with you," She said sweetly to Wally, who smiled at her.
Jinx shook her head. "I'm probably just imagining her flirting," she managed to convince herself. She took a menu and looked at it. Within seconds, a pretty blonde waitress came up.
"Hi, I'm Isabelle, and I'll be helping you today," She said happily, batting her eyes to Wally, who smiled, enthralled.
"Can I get you guys something to drink?" She asked.
"Orange juice, please," Wally said. Isabelle smiled at him and turned reluctantly to Jinx.
"Water," She said quietly. She wrote it down and immediately turned to Wally.
"Do you need a few minutes?" She asked.
"No, I think we're ready to order," He said, "I'll waffles and a side of bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and hashbrowns,"
"I'll have a Belgian waffle with a side of bacon and hashbrowns," Jinx said. The waitress nodded and smiled again at Wally, then left.
"She's rather… smiley," Jinx said, bluntly. Wally didn't say anything. Jinx looked down at her hands, which were shaking.
"He gets jealous when Jason talks to me but he basically does the same thing. He flirts with every girl," Jinx thought angrily. They sat in silence until their orders came. Wally drowned his waffles in syrup and dug in. Jinx inhaled the sweet smell before she did the same. 30 minutes later, her stomach was very full and Wally was ready to leave. He pulled out a couple bills and left them on the table. The waitress stopped Wally and passed a slip of paper to him. She winked at him and flounced away.
Jinx furrowed her brow in anger. She got up and quickly exited the Wafflehouse. She turned to see Wally pocketing the number. Jinx could feel her eyes glowing pink.
"No," Jinx thought. She slowly stopped herself. "Calm down," She told herself and began walking away.
"Hey, where are you going?" She heard Wally call after her.
"I need to think," She glared at him.
"What's wrong, Jinx?" He called. She turned and growled at him.
"Nothing's wrong. Just leave me alone and talk to Isabelle," She snapped.
"Hey, I just took her number. You did the same with Jason!" Wally said defensively. Jinx gave him a glare and started to run.
"Jinx, wait," The red headed boy called helplessly to her. He was too shocked to run. Anyways, it was too late. She had already disappeared through the crowd.
(A/N: I was reading the Teen Titans Go! Comics and saw that Jinx got pretty jealous in a couple of the series. So, I put a scene where she got really jealous.
I'm adding in more Jason, because I really like him.
Please review! Give me some suggestions on what to do! OH and another note. I started a new story called Somewhere Only We Know. Please check it out if you can and let me know what you think!
