My Beta tester, Zako Lord of Randomnessness, was unavailable when I wanted to post this, but she already saw most of it, so it's ok. It also turns out that I unknowingly "stole" her "inner person" idea from her story I Hope You like Mustard! (P.S. It's also KF/Jinx and I HIGHLY recommend it!)
So...Read, Review, and ENJOY!That night, Jinx looked around the Hive Five's HQ, seeing it for the first time as what it really was. "You people…" she trailed off. Turning her head from side to side, she took in the various sofa cushion forts, potato chip bags, soda cans, pizza boxes, and electronic junk. "This is just…sickening." She glared around at them all. "I'm DONE cleaning up after you people! If you want to live like this, then I will by no means stop you!" She twirled and strode back into her room, slamming her door. It was a constant battle, but she had never made this threat before. And damn! Did it ever feel good!
She smiled at herself, but wondered Why in the world am I so willing to antagonize my teammates? I've still got to live with them, right?
"No, not really."
Jinx turned back and forth around the room, wondering if she had said that out loud, and who in the world would have heard her anyway.
"In here, Bozo."
Jinx could have sworn that was coming from…Who are you and why are you in my head?
"I'm your 'conscience' Jinx…yes, you do have one. I've just never been strong enough before."
Oooook…so, what did you mean by "No, not really."?
Her conscience sighed. "Isn't it obvious? … No, I forgot, you're still listening to your brain and not your heart…Here; let's go easy on ourselves, ok?"
Jinx found herself nodding.
"You have a choice here, Jinx. You can either stay here, have your teammates annoy you, and have me never shutting up while you commit crimes…Or, you can leave."
Jinx looked at herself in the mirror and lifted her hand shakily to her face to brush back a strand of hair. "L-l-leave?"
"Leaving gives you new options from every corner, Jinx. I can't say you'd become 'good', mostly because you don't believe it, but you could stop being bad."
I need to think about this.
"Oh, I know, but of course, I'm your conscience, what don't I know?"
Wally was worried. He was pacing around his head quarters; he just knew that there was something he was supposed to be getting about this hallway! Computer room, extra bathroom, hallway, empty room…empty room, hallway, extra bathroom, computer room…computer room, extra bathroom, hallway, empty room…empty room, hallway, extra bathroom, computer room…AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
He slammed his fist into the wall in frustration. There's something I'm missing here! He tried a different approach, stopping at every room and looking at it very hard. Ok, Computer room…nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that it seems like should be important. Extra Bathroom…something here seems like it should be important, but what? I've already taken a shower today! Hallway…no, if it was a different hallway, I wouldn't keep coming back here. Empty room…what could be important about an empty room? It's just there, nothing's in it……nothing's in it…OF COURSE!
Jinx had been thinking long and hard about it, and reached a decision. Conscience? Are you there?
"No, I'm off exploring the wild frontier. Yes I'm here! Where else would I be?"
Sorry, I don't know much about you.
"Then you don't know much about yourself."
Whatever! I'm trying to talk to you, over here!
"Why? I already know what's going through your mind."
Could I just treat it like you don't, so that I don't go crazier than I obviously am already?
"Fine. Shoot."
I've decided…that I'm going to leave.
"Yes."
So now I want to know-
"What to do next."
Yes. When I leave, where do I go?
"'What do I do?' blah, blah, blah."
Yeah…so? Where DO I go?
"You'll have to see what comes along. If you don't know, I don't know…usually."
Jinx raised one eyebrow. What do you know that I don't?
"You really want to know?"
Depends, what's the topic.
"Kid Flash."
Hmm…yeah, ok, shoot.
She could feel her conscience shrugging. "You love him."
WHAT!
"You asked."
No way!
"Why in the world would your conscience lie to you?"
I…uh…um.
"That's what I thought."
Ok, I know it's short, butI wanted to get a chapter up!
Please review! Reviews are the only thing that could make me feel happy tonight I think.(Long story, you DON'T want to know.)
