Mutual Apologies

"Just relax," Jason told Jinx. Jinx immediately took a deep breathe and relaxed her shoulders.

"Good, now could you please turn your head a little to the left?" He asked and Jinx willingly did so. Jason took out his sketchbook and began artfully sketching her. They were at Jump City's Museum fountains.

"I'm glad you called," He said, studying her.

"You told me to," She answered back. He smiled.

"What about your boyfriend?" He asked. Jinx felt her stomach turn. She gulped.

"He's not my boyfriend," She said quietly.

"Can you look down a little bit" He asked and she slowly tilted her head down.

"He is so your boyfriend. I've never seen a guy that worked up for a girl," Jason said, grabbing another pencil. "Thanks for agreeing to this, by the way. I didn't think you'd let me do a portrait of you," He added. "No problem," She said. She looked down, "I think we're fighting," She said quietly. "Me and Wally," She added. She didn't want to say it out loud for fear that might make it true. But she wanted to talk to someone, so she had called Jason.

"Head up, please," He immediately said. "Why are you guys fighting?" he asked, shading in something.

"We were getting breakfast and some waitress started flirting with him. She gave him her number," She sighed. "I guess I just got really jealous," She admitted. Jason looked up.

"So you walked away," He said. It wasn't a question. Jinx nodded. He continued sketching.

"I think he was jealous too," She said. Jason nodded.

"I could tell," Jason suddenly looked uncomfortable. "I'm really sorry if I made problems,"

Jinx shook her head. "Don't worry about it," She assured him.

"I wanted to do a portrait of you from the first moment I saw you. But I didn't want to come off as creepy. I guess I came off as a flirt instead," He said, switching to charcoal now.

"Can I see some of your drawings?" Jinx asked. Jason bit his lip.

"Yeah, just let me finish your eyes," He said, sketching faster. After a few minutes, he nodded and grabbed his thick sketchbook. He handed it to Jinx.

He continued shading in her face while Jinx looked at his sketches. Her mouth dropped.

"These are really good," She said. She stopped at one page, where the picture was a water color of a rose on a table. The vase around it was broken and the rose looked slightly withered. Jinx thought of the roses Kid Flash gave her.

"For what it's worth," Jason said cautiously, "You should talk to lover boy. Staying mad won't help either of you,"

Jinx didn't say anything at first. She looked back at the drawing and looked at Jason. She suddenly stood up.

"I'm sorry, Jason. But can we do this another time?" Jinx asked. "I want to talk to Wally,"

Jason looked up, and smiled. "Yeah, one second," He took out a camera and quickly took a picture of Jinx.

"So I can finish painting it tonight," He explained. "Now, go kiss and make up with your boyfriend,"

She giggled, waved goodbye and left. She had a lot of work to do.

...

Wally slumped in the apartment hall. He had spent a good portion of the day looking for Jinx and stopping crime. He could not find Jinx anywhere and it was really starting to worry him. He could admit to himself that maybe he shouldn't have been so flirty with that waitress but he was still slightly mad about Jason. But now, he just felt bad about it. He walked to his door. He found a small vase with a rose perched outside the door. His eyes widened.

Not even bothering with his keys, he quickly vibrated his molecules through the door. He saw Jinx standing in front of the kitchen table, carrying roses. She wore a simple black dress. Her hair was down and slightly wavy and her bangs were pushed back.

"Hi," He said, lamely. His mind couldn't form sentences, it was whirring too fast.

"Hi," She said softly. She walked towards him and handed him the roses, blushing slightly. "I'm really sorry for today," She whispered, backing away.

"You ran away," He said, recalling earlier. She flinched.

"I was just mad that the waitress was flirting with you and I don't know, I guess lost my temper," Jinx said, rubbing her temple with her fingers. "I'm so sorry… I made dinner," She finished awkwardly, gesturing to the table behind her. It looked like pot roast and potatoes with garlic. Jinx gulped.

"I was jealous," She admitted. "I hate being jealous… You do this to me," She groaned. She looked Wally in the eye.

"I didn't mean to run away, but I didn't want to destroy the place… and uhm," She paused shakily, obviously embarrassed, "I can understand if you don't want to eat dinner. I always make the potatoes with too much garlic and the pot roast is always-," She didn't finish her sentence. Wally set the roses down and pulled her into a close hug, wrapping his arms around her tightly. Jinx buried her face into his chest.

They stayed like that for a long time, just holding each other, not letting each other go.

(A/N: This was supposed to be a longer chapter, but after editing it, I deleted a lot of stuff out to put in the next chapter. I wanted this chapter to end with a mutual understanding and apologies. Thus, the hug. Haha.

I added Jason in again. I wanted him to remind Jinx about what a great guy Wally is.

Anyways, please review! It would mean so much and I really love reading all of your reviews. It helps me write. You guys are just awesome.

The next chapter will be longer, I swear!

And thanks for those who reviewed.

Mansight: Thanks

KittyKatTitan: Yeah, I felt pretty bad for Jinx too, when I was writing the last chapter. It'll get cuter

MoonLightView: Thank you, please keep reading

KaliAnn: Yeah, I hate jealousy with people. It just is bad. But, I think Jinx knows that now

Unices: Thanks? What's leg thinning?

Deets1: Jason is the bomb. I based him off my boyfriend Thanks so much! Your review literally made me dance with happiness. People say that I make Jinx too soft-spoken, and I don't mean to. But I'll work on that later. I'm letting her kinda let looser in this chapter so she can show off her soft side. And that sentence wasn't pathetic ;) Please keep reading! Hopefully, You'll like it!

And answering your question, OffMyTea: She will meet the Titans later in The Final Battle. They are surprised to see her. And quite honestly from my perspective, I never saw Robin as the crazy, weird, distrustful guy. I think he has the most sense sometimes and really good judgment, so he and the others don't think she's bad. And I saw Jinx as a minor villain. I saw her as an anti-hero.)
