Jinx's side erupted in pain and she was fairly sure that she had heard a rib crack. She was hurt, lost and disorientated as she lay with her eyes squeezed shut. A scream caused her to open her eyes and much to her surprise she was not crushed under the building that was falling down upon her just moments ago. She looked around dazed and confused, the building… the building was flickering with the containment field, unable to contain such a large object it flickered and faded away.
That had been when her eyes had fallen on him, there he was. Kid Flash lay crumpled on the floor in a very unnerving puddle of blood, Jinx's eyes widened in horror.
"Scum-muncher… knocked her out of the containment field." Gizmo breathed in shock, after a second rage overtook him.
"That's not SUPPOSED to happen!" He yelled angrily, Jinx's eyes narrowed.
"You… you bastard!" She snapped at him, Gizmo looked surprised at this. Jinx turned her back on him, she had no time for this. Skidding to Kid Flash's side she realised that he wasn't as crushed by the building as she had thought he was, most of him was free of the building. But it was his legs from the knees downwards that were trapped under the building, and there was blood. Her hands unconsciously found their way to his face.
"Kid Flash?" She whimpered in an unusual display of vulnerability, weakly Kid Flash's breath tickled her hand and a wave of relief rushed through her.
Full of fresh determination Jinx stood up and surveyed the scene, Kid Flash was trapped under the building but, thankfully, still alive. He needed to be got out from under there and to a decent hospital, briefly her hands brushed the side of the building before she changed her mind, she needed something precise to get him out from under there and delicacy and precision were not her strong suits. If she were to hex the building she wasn't certain of what would happen, it could crack in half and completely crush Kid Flash, or catch fire or who knows what else, no she needed precision.
Jinx turned on the spot and stared at her ex-team mates who had yet to catch up with the situation, she smirked they always were slow, she smiled and advanced on them.
"What are you- ACK!" See-more exclaimed as Jinx grabbed him by the skull. Her hand flew to the side of his head, she turned the dial she found there to his laser eye and locked him in a tight headlock.
"Let go! You can't!" He yelped closing his eye in a vain attempt to keep the laser back. Jinx's knee connected mercilessly with his kidneys and, as planned, his one big eye snapped open and his laser was hers for as long as she held him in the headlock. It was more than enough time for her. Jinx sprang cat-like over to Kid Flash and the chunk of building that was crushing him.
Jinx eyed the separated block of the building, now she was at no risk of cracking the whole building in half, an almost effortless wave of her hand caused it to crumble into harmless rubble. She reached down to Kid Flash's red-gloved hand and pulled him forward out of the rubble he unconsciously groaned at this, pulling him into her arms she stood up.
"What are you doing?" Billy Neumerous asked watching Jinx turn around and begin to walk off, the unconscious super-hero limp in her arms.
"Taking him away." Jinx replied coldly as she walking on trying to ignore the fact that Kid Flash's leg wasn't hanging as it should have if he had a fully intact shin bone in it. Feeling half burnt up with cold anger and half numb from shock she carried him up the road.
"Hey! We're not done with you yet!" Gizmo shouted pulling out a gun-like gadget.
"Too bad. I'm finished with you." Jinx said flatly, her eyes glowing brightly. Predictably Gizmo's machine exploded covering him in shrapnel and soot. Once she was out of sight of the others and by a busy road Jinx carefully laid Kid Flash down on the pavement ignoring the stares and mutters of passers by.
Kid Flash's world slowly became lighter, hazily he blinked and groaned. As if it had been waiting for him, an unbelievable shock of pain gripped him. He screamed. Whatever he was in swerved violently, gritting his teeth he looked around trying to ignore the pain, he was in a car and a rather surprised looking Jinx was driving.
"You nearly made me crash!" She gasped averting her eyes back to the road.
"Argh… sorry. Ow. Where are we going?" He asked wincing.
"The hospital of course, I've never seen a leg bend like that. I'm sure shins aren't meant to bend." Jinx replied changing gears and overtaking the car in front of her.
"Wait… aren't you too young to drive? Let alone own a car?" Kid Flash asked as the thought occurred to him, Jinx visibly squirmed at this.
"I can drive. I learnt in the HIVE academy, we all had to." Jinx answered not looking at him, Kid Flash narrowed his eyes at her.
"This isn't your car is it?" He said slowly, Jinx cringed slightly, she was feeling bad which was a small victory for Kid Flash even though it didn't please him at the time.
"I- not as such. I'll give it back though!" she said gripping the wheel tightly.
"I… you carjacked someone." Kid Flash groaned, suddenly his eyes clicked open, "Wait! I'm… I'm in a stolen car! I'm an accessory to a crime! I'm going to have a criminal record!" Kid Flash hyperventilated.
"Oh be quiet! You only get a record if you get caught." Jinx snapped, this didn't seem to help the panicking super-hero. "Look, if anyone asks, I'll say I kidnapped you. Then no criminal record for you."
"Really?" Kid Flash asked hopefully.
"Yes, ack! There's the turn off!" Jinx yelped realising that she hadn't been paying attention to the road. She violently spun the steering wheel to the right and cut across several lines of traffic in time to make the turning for the hospital, Kid Flash hissed at the pain as his leg hit the door in his side of the car.
"Sorry…" Jinx muttered as she pulled into a parking space and jumped out of the car, Kid Flash watched her as she opened the door to his side and looked up at him.
"What?" He asked at her expectant look.
"Come on then, I have to carry you." Jinx rolled her eyes at his stupidity.
"I don't need to be carried." He said shuffling out of his seat and gingerly touching his good foot on the ground.
"What's your plan from there Sherlock? You can't walk." Jinx sighed moving to pick him up bridal style.
"I'll hop!" He squeaked hopping off.
"Like hell you are!" Jinx shouted back slamming the door and running in front of him, "I'm carrying you one way or another!" she said barring his way with her outspread arms.
"And what's your plan? I'm the fastest boy in the world, you can't catch me, even hopping." Kid Flash poked out his tounge at her. Jinx gritted her teeth and tackled him around the waist, before they fell to the ground she straightened up holding him in a fireman's lift.
"That was my plan." She said turning around and walking off to the main doors of the hospital. Kid Flash huffed in displeasure about being outwitted, the arguing had been distracting him from the pain in his leg, he squeezed his eyes shut and tried to mentally check off all his other body parts to make sure nothing else was damaged, he suddenly realised something.
"Jinx." He said slowly.
"What?" She asked, Kid flash craned to see her face but eventually gave up.
"Your hand is on my ass. You were just doing this to cop a feel weren't you?" He grinned devilishly, he couldn't see Jinx blush but he knew she was, he noted that she shifted her hand to his legs and continued carrying him.
"Aww, it's okay Jinx, no one can resist my spandex-clad booty!" He laughed finding the whole thing hilarious.
"I'm putting this down as the pain making you delirious." She said tersely as they entered the doors of the hospital which slid open with a whoosh noise.
"What about this then?" He asked reaching downwards and groped her butt, Jinx, none too gently, dropped him into an empty wheelchair in reception. Pain shot up his leg but he bit back the yelp.
"owww… gentle with me Jinxie." He smiled up at her, she glared at him before turning to the receptionist.
"He's going to need to see a doctor, fast. He's broken everything from his knee downwards. A building fell on him, and if he keeps annoying me another one might as well." Jinx growled, the receptionist paled with fear, nodded and two nurses quickly wheeled Kid Flash away.
Jinx flopped down into a chair in reception and ignored Kid Flash's fading cries of 'bye bye Jinxie!' she closed her eyes and sighed, this had been one hell of a day.
As Kid Flash's wheelchair turned the corner and into an examination room usually used for metahumans, as the door closed and the nurses left him with the doctor, he let out the scream of pain that he'd not wanted Jinx to hear. Tears ran down his face freely now and his back spasmed with pain as the doctor ran off to get three times the normal dose of morphine, he did have that super fast metabolism after all…
