Hoping to organize her thoughts, the pink-haired witch had sat on the rooftop, precariously close to the edge, watching as the night sky darkened from a blue purple to midnight, the last of the sun's rays fading.
It was just too much. She had gone, in a matter of weeks, from being a super villain to a Titan, had hexed her own former friends earlier that day. She had helped to stop the Brotherhood-the very same organization she had once aspired to-in their tracks for the rest of time, luck willing. It was a lot to think on.
She didn't feel remorse; she had never felt better than when she snapped her fingers and brought Madame Rouge to her knees, crushing her opponents only to watch Kid Flash take them to be frozen. She had never felt better. But she'd had a home as a villain; and Jinx was completely lost as to where she would go as a hero.
Her answer came in the form of heavily clanking boots, and a voice she knew all too well.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Jinx." Cyborg was smiling; she could tell from the way his voice was pitched. She'd loved that voice, once, and now it seemed so long ago.
"Guess I wasn't up to the evil gig, really." He sat beside her, taking in the sight. She looked the same as always; bright pink hair and pink eyes, gray skin with natural rosy blush on her high cheekbones, slim figure in dark clothing, black as pitch. But things had changed. In her hands was a long, slender rose, red as blood in the sunlight, twirled between her fingers as she thought. Her scowl had been replaced with a calm face, one attuned to smiling. She had found happiness, happiness that would last far longer than their once-affair at the HIVE academy. Neither had to explain; Cyborg instinctively knew.
"He's done wonders for you." Jinx nodded, fingering the rose's stem as she replied.
"He's persistent, I'll give him that." She smiled and stood, taking Cyborg's hand to help him up. They stared at each other for a long moment, and the world seemed as if it had stopped spinning; but then their hands were pulled back, and all was clear. Jinx walked away, tucking the rose behind her ear as she opened the door to descend into the Tower. A voice, full of laughter and wit, sounded before the door closed.
"Hey Jinx, you have to check this out!" and she responded, fighting to hold back her amusement.
"Flash, don't you ever slow down?" The door clicked shut, and Cyborg smiled. The understanding had been reached, and all was clear.
Goodbye, friend.
A buzzing noise blared behind him, and without turning around, he replied, grinning.
"Okay, Bee, let's go. I swear, you're so impatient."
