A/N So I've had this written for days now, but wouldn't let me upload it. Damn you server! You're here to SERVE! ... okay, now that that's done with, I heard a lot of complaints that the chapters weren't long enough, so I tried to make something a little longer. We're getting into a main plot here folks. Buckle up annd keep ya hands and feet in the vehicle!

Jinx woke up to a clock flashing twelve noon; she had slept for a quick few hours, and woke to find a message:

"Saving the world-be back soon. Make yourself at home-plenty in the fridge. XOXOXO-Wally"

There was no telling how long he had been gone, or even where he had went; but there were notes in dry erase all over the board, appointments with the mayor, lists of villains that were currently in jail or at large. And there, written in large letters in the corner:

"Jump City-Meet Jinx for lunch. Bring plenty of roses." Jinx smiled as she walked back into the kitchen and looked into the fridge.

Sure enough, it was loaded. Every shelf was filled with bags, boxes and jars, juice boxes and large containers for iced tea, meats, cheeses and vegetables everywhere. The cabinets were stocked with junk food; Wally surely had to eat a lot of sugar and carbs to keep going. After fixing herself a small sandwich and a sprite, Jinx wrote in dry-erase across the window.

"Out for a walk, be back soon. Took a spare key-XO Jinx" Taking a key off of the hanging wrack next to the door, Jinx smirked as she left the apartment. Surely Kid Flash was the best boy she'd ever met, but someone had to keep him on his toes. He couldn't be the only one surprising people in the apartment.

Jinx wandered the city until she found the park that was visible from the window. It was a beautiful path of land, completely green and covered in flowering plants, a haven from the concrete, steel and glass of the city. There were swings and seesaws and laughing children everywhere, frolicking in the pathways and between the trees. And Jinx let herself enjoy it. She played on the swings and watched the children and helped a little girl pick flowers for her mother. She drew in the dirt for the children, and even drew a unicorn with a lightning bolt birthmark. It was a good way to begin her new life, she decided, with people who didn't know (or care) what Jinx had been.

Her musings were interrupted by the sound of blasting concrete not a block away. The children scattered, running in all directions to hide from whatever problem Star City would face today. Parents on the edge of the park scrambled to find their children, all being rounded up by a girl with pink eyes and hair. She was standing in front of them, and they behind her, holding on to her legs and clothing.

Her glowing eyes were met by a large man standing at least seven feet tall, and his unnaturally thin stature was given away only by his exposed arms, which were glowing a sickly shade of green-yellow. The rest of him was covered in a thick black robe, his hood upover his face, with only oddly glowing eyespeering back at the witch in the park. And then he was flying, flying towards the park with speed that couldn't be matched, flying straight at the children.

He was blasted backwards by twin waves of pink energy, and Jinx's voice rang out as the children and their parents stood behind her.

"As if that's going to happen." She blasted the man back continually, allowing the civilians to get away as she alone walked towards the figure in black, and threw pink energy around him, trapping his feet in the ground and holding his hands to his sides. But then he glowed brighter, and a bubble surrounded him, dispelling all of Jinx's energy with his own yellowish glare. She was knocked backward by the force of his power, and heard sharp laughter cutting through the air as he disappeared into the bubble.

"Such an interesting girl! I hope we meet again." But then the world became fuzzy, and all was darkness.

Wally arrived at the apartment, and saw that Jinx was no longer in the chair; he was ready to look for her when he saw a note on the window in dry erase marker.

"Out for a walk, be back soon. Took a spare key-XO Jinx" And then he felt a bubble inside of him, ready to burst full of joy; she was ready to stay in this apartment, with him, and get used to Star City. It was a dream made real!

He dropped the rose he had brought on the counter and looked at the note one last time, just in time to see Jinx at the park from the window. She was very small from this height, but he could see pink radiating from her in some direction-it was enough. He knew at that very moment that something had gone terribly wrong.

And the curtains swayed as Kid Flash ran past.

XxXxX

She was lying there, on the ground, her clothes smoking from energy spent, surrounded by children shaking her, asking her to wake up. She looked as peaceful as if she had merely lain down in the grass and fallen asleep, but her clothes had rips and tears from whatever had been her fight. And when Wally stopped beside her, his face full of worry and regret, the children understood.

"She played with us until the scary man showed up," murmured one girl as she tugged on Wally's hand, looking up into his eyes with her own brown ones. "And then she saved us. But I think he hurt her really bad. Can you help her, Kid Flash?" And then Wally looked down at the girl, not willing to lie.

"I hope so." The little girl moved several other kids out of the way to allow Wally to get to Jinx, and he lifted her gently so that she was sitting up. She was unconscious but not too badly hurt, and he let his optimism show through as he lifted her up into his arms.

"She's hurt, but I can take care of it. She'll be back soon, really." And the children only nodded, expecting every word to be true as Flash made his exit, leaving only the breeze behind.

A/N so yeah, Jinx has been hurt by creepy villain man, how will Flash react?

I'm looking for a beta for the story so that the characters can stay, well, in character. Anyone who wants to apply, review or something. Thanks in advance - AzD
