It had been a few quiet days in at the temporary HQ. They spent time together just being themselves , watching the TV, watching movies, and getting used to Jinx knowing about Wally's secret identity. He told her about his past, and tried to get her to share hers. She kept quiet, but would occasionally share small tidbits. They even had an animated movie night:

"So Jinx, I know you don't wanna talk about your past, but can you at least tell me your favorite movie from when you were a kid? Halloween Town or Nightmare before Christmas maybe?" Wally smiled kindly at the pink haired sorceress before throwing some popcorn into his mouth.

"Nah, actually 'Alice in Wonderland' was more my style." Said sorceress looked up at him from her half-hearted attempt to watch a movie.

"Seriously? I thought for sure it would involve pink, or magic… Or a big villainess" He gestured to her hair as he spoke.

"I mean, that was before I got like this… after… after I didn't have time for kid stuff." She glanced down at her lap, tugging on her sleeve quietly.

"How, how old were you? When did-" he couldn't get the words out without sounding rude, or being scared he'd upset her, so he stopped himself.

"I was about 8 when it happened, and I joined Hive a few months after." She hoped he wouldn't ask more questions. This was painful enough.

"Jinx, I know you hate talking about your past, but how does an b8/b year old join a criminal organization? Where were your parents?"

Where indeed. Sportsmaster certainly didn't mind selling her to HIVE, that's for sure. "Who do you think sent me there?" Did he really thinks she could have joined on her own?

"Oh… um… so do you have any other favorite movies?" He glanced back at the TV awkwardly.

"Even before I got my powers, I didn't really get to do a lot of kid stuff… Alice in Wonderland was kind of a fluke." A theater in Gotham had playing it as part of a promotion and Jade convinced their parents that it could be educational for her to see it after reading the book recently, but she wasn't going to tell Wally that.

"Okay… so, since you didn't watch a lot of movies as a kid, wanna watch some now?" Wally watched her carefully as he spoke.

"Isn't that what we've been doing?" She motioned to the TV, showing some action movie where the hero was fighting some mobsters, or maybe they were aliens, she hadn't really been paying much attention.

"Yeah, but, you know, kids movies. We could have a movie marathon!" He smiled a very, very excited smile.

They sat through watching several old Disney movies and otherwise animated movies, most of which Kid borrowed from the main Titans Tower. (This confused Cyborg and Beastboy, who watched a red and yellow blur run by the television, taking one or two VHS or DVDs at once, and then returning a few hours later to return them and get more.)

A few days passed, and Wally received a communication from the Flash asking him to meet at a diner in Coast City, wearing civilian clothes(thus why they were meeting in Coast instead of Central or Keystone, as people are bound to recognize the boy still being put on missing posters, or maybe recognize Barry and wonder who the kid is with him.) Wally bid a goodbye to Jinx and went to meet with his uncle.

Wally ran the relatively short (for a speedster) distance to Coast City, glad it wasn't too far from his and Jinx's location. There he changed into a brown hoodie and jeans in an alleyway and then found the small diner. Barry was wearing his usual work attire of a long sleeved collared button up shirt covered by a sweater vest and tie, only missing his CCPD CSI identity card and his lab coat.

"Hey Wally, it's good to see you again." He smiled warmly at the teen, if a bit awkwardly.

"H-hey Uncle Barry. So what did you want to talk about that couldn't be done over the phone?" Wally slid into the booth, glancing around quickly to make sure he wasn't being watched.

"I wanted to know if you had thought about coming to live with Iris and me. Besides, I was already here for a team up with Green Lantern." Barry double checked his communicator, making sure his friend didn't need him.

"Oh, that… I've thought about it, but I'm just not sure how it would work." Wally looked down at the menu, frowning as he chose.

"How what would work? You'd live with Iris and I, and you'd go back to school." Barry looked at him quizzically and raised an eyebrow.

"Well yeah, but I'm a Teen Titan now, I have duties, I can't just walk away from that." Wally looked Barry straight in the eyes, serious and trying to get the message across.

"I thought you worked with a partner instead of with the main Titans." Barry took a bite from one of the many pastries in front of him as he talked.

"Yeah, but we still go on missions sometimes with the other Titans, besides I think Jinx would be lonely living in the bunker by herself. Not to mention it would be weird running halfway across the country everyday." They grew quiet as a waitress arrived to ask about Wally's order, he ordered a strawberry milkshake, 2 large fries, and two burgers. She brought him the milkshake right away and told him the rest would be out soon.

"Everyday? Why would you- Jinx is your partner right? Surely you two can still keep in touch, maybe meet on weekends, and she could always work with another Titan, or maybe she could use a break, some time off while you get used to being at home and working alongside the League and I." Barry tried to reason, knowing what it's like to work with a partner on occasion, such as right now with Hal, but still apparently not getting it.

"Wait, what about the League?!" The red-headed speedster did a double take, what was this about the Justice League?

"The League has taken notice of your work in Paris, and we want you, Robin, and Speedy to join us. We want to work with you." Barry put his food down as he spoke, trying his best "Serious and Diplomatic" impression.

"You want the Titans to work with the League?" Wally was shocked, to say the least, the league had barely acknowledged the Titans before this.

"Not-Not necessarily. I'd be fine with it, but the others aren't sure about those on the Titans we haven't worked with before. We want you. The Titans don't necessarily need you three. But Iwe/I do." Barry didn't want to scare his nephew off, and he truly thought more young heros working with the league could only be a strength, but his teammates sadly did not share this opinion.

"I'll think about it… but what about Jinx?" Was Barry really asking him to Iabandon/I Jinx? After everything they've been through together?!

"Like I said she can work with someone else, or maybe find a mentor, she's only been good for a few months, right? Are you sure this is a permanent change? And even if it is, maybe she can go home to her family, or live with the rest of the main Titans." Barry raised an eyebrow, if Wally really didn't want to live with him and Iris, couldn't he just say so? Before Wally could respond his food arrived, resulting in him quickly devouring one of the burgers, making it disappear in under a minute.

"That's great and all, Uncle Barry, but Jinx isn't just my partner in crime fighting, she's also my uh, girlfriend." Wally awkwardly wiped some ketchup off his cheek from his burger, hoping his mentor and uncle wouldn't react to badly to this news.

"You're dating her?! But she was a villain!" Barry was flabbergasted, didn't he teach his sidekick better than to bdate/b the enemy?

"Ex Villain! She's reformed! Besides, it's not like you've never flirted with a supervillain" Wally could remember plenty of times that his uncle distracted the villain or villainess with flirtations.

"I'm married to your Aunt!" Barry glanced at his wedding ring in confusion, he would never cheat on Iris!

"Yeah, but before that…. besides, I've Iseen/I you and captain cold. Not to mention some others, like Killer Frost, and-" Wally had a whole list planned, and fully planned on saying it all before he got interrupted.

"Enough, Wally, I get it. But seriously? You're a 15-year old kid. How serious can this relationship be?" Barry looked at Wally with worried eyes.

"Pretty serious Uncle B. She needs me. She doesn't have anyone else. She isn't close to the other Titans, and she had to cut ties with her old friends because they were all villains." Wally needed her, too. She likes him for who he is now, not the kid he used to be, or the hero he could be. She sits across from him as he talks about physics with a fond smile on her face and calls him a dork. She likes to sketch everything from unicorns to the kitchen utensils to him; he breally/b likes it when she draws him. They work out and train together, figuring out how to work best as a team. They debate the news. They argue about little things like tv or pizza topping out of boredom but usually comprise and wind up cuddling. She even calms him down without even meaning to when he has an anxiety attack.

"So what about her family? Is she an orphan?" Barry wanted to understand, but he still worried that Wally was too young for such a serious relationship. Maybe the league could set her up with a legal guardian to take her in, make it so she isn't only relying on his nephew for emotional support.

"I don't know, probably? Maybe. She doesn't want to tell me about her past." Wally just wanted this conversation to bend/b, picking at his fries and dipping them in his milkshake.

"How much do you really know about her? What's her real name? Can you really trust her?" Can II/I trust her with byou?/b

"I Iknow/I I can trust her. But as for the other two I don't know… I don't even know how she got the way she is now… maybe she doesn't really even have a name other than Jinx… I asked her the other day, but… she didn't have an answer." Wally trembled, looking from Barry, to his plate, to the other patrons. Why couldn't Barry just accept Jinx? He glanced back at Barry and narrowed his eyes, hurt and angry at the accusation against one precious to him.

"Alright… maybe that was… out of line of me. Kid, I know she doesn't want to talk about it, but from what you're saying, she could probably use the League's help. If you can talk her into it, we can probably at least get her a therapist, to make sure she stays on the right path, and to help her with any issues she might have, which, if her childhood was anything like yours, and with having to go to a school for supervillains… she probably needs. I know you Titans like being independent, but the League is here if any of you need us." Barry felt dumb, he seriously did want to help, but he was probably doing more harm than good at this point. He knew the Titans probably didn't have that many resources (he knew for a fact that they got a lot of financial and technical support from Bruce Wayne, who had kept supporting his son even when they weren't on speaking terms) and after seeing what Wally had been through, and knowing many of the Titans were kids who ran away from home, were kicked out, or were orphaned or otherwise without a place to go, didn't want them to suffer.

"Thanks for that, Uncle B. It was a little mean of you to say that, but I know you're just worried about me." Wally had just finished speaking when his Teen Titans communicator went off "Sorry, I have to answer this… Hey Rob, what's up? Trouble in Jump? Alright, I'll go get Jinx and meet you at the T Tower… No she's not with me, I was meeting with the Flash… See you soon." He glanced up at Barry, shoulders slumping as he sighed and said "Sorry, but the Titans need me and Jinx for a mission in Jump City. Say Hi to Aunt Iris for me, bye!" He rushed out as quickly as possible without arousing suspicion from the regular patrons of the diner.

"Heh, he was in such a rush he didn't even finish his fries...Oh well, more for me!" He ate his food and Wally's leftover fries quickly, trying to figure out what he would tell Iris. Suddenly his comm. link buzzed "Flash here, what's up… oh hey Hal. Yeah, I finished talking to Wally, no I think I messed up. You found the guy? Great, I'll meet you there."

"Jinx, I'm home!" Wally entered the bunker, to find Jinx all dressed and ready at the door.

"I can see that kid, now come on, the others are waiting!"
