I could never leave you waiting, loves.
Jinx stirred, and sleepily opened her eyes, only to be greeted by darkness. "Augh," she mumbled. "I feel like I've been sleeping on rocks." She waited a few moments for her eyes to adjust to the dark tent. She turned her head slightly. "Rocks…and rope?" she thought sleepily as she stared at something her arms were entangled in. "No…its just Kid Flash," she thought and leaned her head to go back to sleep. "Kid FLASH!" her eyes widened and her mind raced. She yelped, and struggled to get herself up.
"Go back to sleep," Kid flash mumbled.
Jinx mouth dropped as she realized he just said something. It took her about five seconds to comprehend anything and she said rather loudly, "Do you realize how close we are?"
"Don't blame me, you fell asleep on me first," he said stubbornly and closed his eyes tighter. "And lower your voice or everyone else will wake up, and come to ask what is going on."
She sat there hesitantly, not sure if she should continue moving to the other side of the tent or just go back to lying on him. "This is completely nerve wrecking, and embarrassing," she whined in her head. She watched as Flash's breathe went back to a steady drowsy pattern. "Wow…you sure are a deep sleeper," she thought to herself. "I'm going for a walk," she whispered to him, not sure why as she was positive he was asleep. She stepped out quietly in the cold night air. She shivered slightly, the only noise was the slight crinkle of her footsteps on the snow. "Wow, its…picture perfect," she thought as she looked around the snowy landscape. She put her hands into the snow, and threw it up into the air. She giggled, and abruptly turned to look at the still silent tents. She raised an eyebrow curiously, and walked a away until she was sure they couldn't hear her. She twirled around, laughing at herself to stop acting like such a girl. "This is perfect, with no one here to judge you, no one at all. No one to tell you to work harder, no one to tell you…that you're a jinx…" her eyes flashed as she thought about a past memory.
Ten years ago
A small pink hair girl sat in a circle of other kids at a park. Her face was stained with tears as she hugged her knees. Her pink dress was covered in mud stains and she kept begging, "Go away. I'm just like you, I'm just like you."
A group of other kids stood mocking her. Most likely the cause for the mud stains on her dress. "JINX, JINX, JINX, JINX! NO ONE TOUCH HER! OR YOU'LL BE CURSED!" they sang as they laughed. This continued for a while, but eventually stopped as they grew bored. The retreated to the other side of the park, to go play tag.
After their absence for a while, a dark figure appeared. His murmured like a cold understanding father, "Aww poor little girl. You don't fit in do you? You'll never fit in. Not with them at least. They hate you, despise you, because they know you are destined for better things. The only way, you could ever get them to stop laughing at you, would be to show them you are better, and stronger then them." He smirked, and went to sit at a park table a few feet away.
"Hey, are you okay?" a boy walked up to her, thus gaining her attention. "Here, let me help you," he smiled.
She stared at him intently, making a face that asked, "what did you just say to me"
He stretched out his hand, "What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" And then it happened. He laughed at the joke he made, but instead of lightening up the mood the girls eyes started glowing. "STOP LAUGHING AT ME!" she screamed. A sudden blast and the boy was thrown onto the group, knocked unconscious, or dead. "See? He won't laugh at you anymore," the shadow man was back at her side. The next moment, she was clutching the dark figures hand.
"Never?" she asked.
"I promise," he whispered.
"Hey, you're not thinking about running away are you?" Flash laughed. Jinx was suddenly thrust back into the present, as she realized she was standing outside in snow, and not in a park.
"Hey, what's wrong? Cat got your tongue?" he laughed again.
Her eyes glowed and she threw a pink energy blast to him. "DON'T…YOU…EVER….SAY…THAT…TO ME…AGAIN!" she said slow and coldly. Luckily he dodged it. He stood there giving her a confused look. Jinx finally realized what she did, and hurridly spoke, "Uh no, fine, its fine, I didn't mean that, you just scared me."
His normal boyish smile reappeared and he laughed, "Really? And I thought only villans got that privledge. So anyways, what were you thinking about?"
"Nothing," she replied, most likely out of habit.
"You can tell me," he said. "I promise not to tell," he said trying to manage a cute little voice.
"You wouldn't understand," she replied.
"Try me," he winked.
"There are two types of people in this world. Those sitting in the middle of a circle, and those running around it," she murmured.
He gave her a curious look, "So I guess I would be the one running?"
She sighed.
"Hey can I asked you for a favor," he got close to her.
"Uh…?" she manage to say, getting nervous over the fact his face was way to close. She could feel his breathe on her lips, and her eyes got wide.
"Its nothing really…but…" he said slowly and carefully.
He was now wayyy too close into her personal zone, a zone which when normally violated, the violator would receive a very deadly physic blast. But instead of feeling threated, she felt weak, and confused. "Push him away, push him away now!" a voice screamed in her head.
"But…would you draw me a unicorn one day?" he whispered into her ear.
The huge blast woke up the Teen Titans.
I take your reviews very seriously. I tried to add more details. Im working on it. This was a first work effort, sorta ran dry near the end.
Be careful not to scratch the cat
For the cat has sharper claws.
Btw: After this lovey dovey chapter, Im going to start working on the actual plot, (you remember it right? getting through the shield? Into the castle thing? To get the files? Any of this ringing a bell?) But alas, they're are gonna be some giddy parts between flash and jinx...oh...I wonder if he knows about cyborg and jinx ;)
