Hi everyone I know I've been slow writing but like I've said I don't want to just post something for the sake of it but finally we have a chapter. Yes it's not a long one but that's because I really want to write a valentines day special for this story but don't worry it's not going to be soppy, I'm wanting to to be more of Jinx letting down those walls slowly...
Thank you to everyone that has reviewed!
Chapter 3
(Kid Flash POV)
I really did feel bad for leaving Jinx alone, I had just convinced the girl to come stay at mine that she'd be safe and here I was abandoning her. I needed to hurry up and get back to her before she decided to leave or worse go through my things!
As I approached the jewellery store I saw the robbers, four normal humans which meant this was going to be over quickly. I ran over to the guy at the back and gave him a tap on the shoulder, spinning round on his heels he was greeted by nothing but the empty space behind him. I tapped his shoulder once more causing him to turn back the way he was facing, only to be greeted by me, before he could react he was out of the store and standing at the police station very confused.
"Where's Bill gone?" One of the guys asked as he frantically looked around.
"Oh I took him to prison" I said standing next to the guy that asked.
"Hey who are….." before he could finish his sentence he was already standing next to a cuffed Bill in the station.
"Toni we need to go" the third man shouted, he was clearly scared and confused but his boss didn't want to hear it.
"Look here, I said we were doing this job no matter what! So hurry up and fill your bag before I regret bringing you along!"
"Toni you should start being nicer to umm ... sorry I didn't catch your name" I motioned to the guy who was being shouted at.
"Sam" he mumbled back.
"To poor Sam here, it helps boost employee morale"
"Look kid this isn't a game so just get out of here" Toni was now getting very angry how can I tell, well you see he just pointed his gun on me.
Shaking my head I tutted at Toni.
"Toni, Toni, Toni, that's not cool man" before he could respond I disarmed the gun and took Toni to the police that were now waiting outside. Looking over to Sam he put his gun on the ground before walking himself out and over to the police with arms raised.
Now I needed to get back to Jinx, I really hoped she was still there and that my appartement was still standing. Did I need to get food would she have made herself something to eat if she got hungry, wait did she know how to cook. Maybe I was overthinking this, right I'll stop and grab some pizza just in case and if she had eaten then I could just have the pizza to myself I was feeling a bit peckish. I was in and out of the pizza store and back at my apartment in less than 15 minutes, 10 of those I was waiting for our pizza to cook which made me impatient. I raced up to the apartment and swung open the door with pizza in hand before shutting it swiftly.
"Jinxie I thought you might…" my voice trailed off as I walked into the apartment more to find a sleeping Jinx on the sofa. The sound of the television turned down but still playing to itself, sketches had fallen onto the floor as the sleeping girl had moved around, scattering her pencils everywhere as well. I couldn't help but smile at the sight of her, putting the pizza down I walked over and started to gather the drawings and pencils putting them on the coffee table that had been moved, probably so she could rest her feet on it. This time I made sure not to look at them, I learnt the hard way that Jinx likes to keep what she draws private. I ran into the bedroom and pulled out a spare blanket for her, slowly placing it on the sleeping witch I tried not to wake her. As I just stood there looking at her I noticed that it was the first time I had seen her relaxed.
There was no scowl, anger, sadness, no wonder or confusion, just pure bliss and that filled me with content that for one night at least she didn't have to worry about anything.
