Chapter 2 : Home Sweet Home
Jinx was expecting some fancy place, with elaborate machinery and security everywhere for the fastest boy alive. All she found was a small apartment on the other side of town. It was actually better than what she expected, messy, but homey, exactly what she needed.
There was a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and what she suspected to be his bedroom. She suppressed her urge to go look through his bedroom and instead looked around the living room. Everything reminded her of him, it even smelled like him, nice and masculine with a fun touch…
WAIT, am I enjoying his smell? I've been in the cold for too long, I need to take a shower and maybe some hot chocolate.
She approached the bathroom and was pleased to see it was actually… clean! She stepped in trying not to disturb anything and knock it out of place so she went straight to the shower. When she got out, she put her old outfit on and hated the feeling of her dirty, wet clothes against her clean skin. She went to the kitchen and made herself some hot chocolate while figuring out how to set up the pull-out couch and work the T. V.
Just as she started to relax, an all-too familiar voice came from behind her.
"Wasn't expecting you so soon." A cocky grin occupying his face.
"You shouldn't be expecting me at all." Retorted Jinx.
"Then what may I ask is such a pretty girl doing in my apartment?" A blush started to occupy Jinx's face.
"I won't be staying long, so don't get your hopes up."
"Aw, but we both know that my dashingly good looks got you here in the first place, so why not keep you here?"
"Actually, it was the lack of a warm bed that brought me here, along with your non-existent brain." She smirked.
Kid Flash only now realized that she was in a wet outfit, that hugged every curve of her. Although he wanted to keep looking he decided to speak up.
"Do you have anything else, to wear, because if you haven't noticed your clothing is wet."
"No I haven't noticed, I just enjoy being freezing cold all the time." She added with sarcasm. "Besides, I got out of the Hive 5 pretty quickly and only took the clothing on my back and a few valuable possessions."
"Why did you leave so fast?" With concern highlighting his voice.
"I knew they would kill me or turn me in, if I would have told them." She looked at the floor.
He then ran into his room and a second later was holding up a hoody and some old pj's.
"I hope these fit you? I don't have a large selection."
"They'll be perfect." she said, with maybe a little to much gratitude she thought. Jinx noticed him looking at her as she went to change in the bathroom, "Is there something I can do for you?" asked Jinx
"No, I'm perfectly happy where I am" he realized he had been staring, and caught himself before he faltered.
When Jinx came out of the bathroom they said goodnight to each other and sleep came easily as she dreamt of a certain speeding orange wind.
