Hey. I'm not sure about this chapter. There's too much dialogue. I don't own anything. Just to warn you there is some swearing.


Almost expecting something sinister she was almost surprised to see a red faced, weedy looking doctor wheeling a trolley piled with varies medical equipment. Seeing her in the corridor he froze dumbfounded.

Then said "Shit. You're supposed to be asleep."

Jinx was rather affronted at his lack of observation "Well I'm not. Where am I?"

"Star Labs, but you need to get back to the bed." The doctor looked worried.

This made her scowl, she was fine, he wasn't much of an doctor if he couldn't see that. "Whatever, look where is everyone?"

He didn't answer instead he left the trolley and ran the short distance to her, grabbed her arm and tried to drag her back through the doors.

Twisting out of his grip she pulled away. "What the hell! What are you doing?"

"Please you need to get back to bed, they're gonna kill me" He was shaking his head and looked distraught.

Jinx had never been good at trying to defuse a situation and this guy was making no sense whatsoever.

"Whoa, calm down, who's going to kill you?"

Stricken he looked at her and almost shrieked "Who'd you think. Dr Kowalski!"

Wondering if it she had really only been out cold for 12 hours she asked. "Who's Dr Kowalski?"

"Head of the superhuman sector of Star labs. He runs this place, he's boss." He paled "I was supposed to stay with you keeping an eye on you, but I got distracted and Martina said-"

Cutting in Jinx said. "So wait, let me get this straight, you left me to possibly die while you gallivanted off with 'Martina' "

"Look you weren't going to die, you fainted that's all." He added "Please just go back to bed, you must be exhausted."

Jinx was exhausted and what ever was in that IV must have been keeping the largest part of the pain away, but now she'd torn it out it was returning with a vengeance.

That was probably the reason she nodded and trailed back to down the corridor to her little room.

Bringing his retrieved trolley with him the incompetent doctor looked her up and down then said. "Are gonna tell me what you did with IV."

Jinx had refused the IV again and demanded that the Doctor, Derek it turned out his name was, got her some clothes that didn't smell like they'd been lived in by someone who had never heard of a shower. Derek probably felt that appeasing the person holding the keys to his career was a good idea and said he would bring her some stuff from Martina's locker, who, he assured her had very good personal hygiene. Besides though she wasn't to let Derek know it Jinx wasn't in a picky mood, while he go the clothes she used the staff lockeroom to take a shower. When she got out she found Martina clothes laid out on the staff sofa.

Feeling much cleaner, but decidedly preppy in a polo shirt and white skirt Jinx lay on the bed watching Derek fuss over the sheets he should have been filling in while she was out cold.

"Derek?" She asked.

"What?"

"Do you know who brought me in?"

He looked up. "Course I do, your partner. Kid Flash."

"I guess he went home then." She said eyeing the flowers.

"No, well sorta. He was here till a few hours ago. Then he got a call saying there was some kind of breakout at the super human prison. And then Dr Kowalski got called out too because some of the inmates had hurt themselves in the breakout. So he left me and Marina, cos she's a nurse, here to look after you. You see." Jinx did see, she also saw that he was unable to hold a conversation without mentioning Marina in almost every other sentence.

"Then you and Martina decided to make out on the other side of the hospital."

He reddened. "No, she'd left her cell in Microbiology and needed to get it."

Jinx rolled her eyes "Must have been a big cell to need two people."

"Looked we expected you to be out for hours. Besides." He muttered "Nobody usually gets up and goes for an explore."

"It was weird, a high tech ward like this deserted."

"It's almost always like this, there's a whole a wing of the lab dedicated to super humans, but we only really use the research rooms down stairs and the cloakroom up here. These rooms are in case of a battle were loads of super humans get hurt."

"It's coming back to me now."Jinx nodded. "I think I came here for tests a couple of time. Dr Kowalski is he tall, almost bald?"

"With glasses? Yeah that's him, scares me shitless."

"Hmm. I can imagine." she mumbled, sliding back to sleep.

2 hours later.

Jinx woke to the sound of hushed voices out on the corridor. For a moment she wondered where she was then the memories crashed down on her. Fight, run, blackout, wake, roses, alone, Derek, preppy… It was enough to give a girl a headache. But feeling slightly better than the last time she'd woken in that bed, Roe felt that the improvement merited recognition as a reason to get up. And she did, following the voices as she felt her way along furniture to the door, still a little groggy. Outside stood the infamous Derek and who would have guessed it, Kid Flash. Derek was trying to look all professional with hand motions, while KF watched him, an almost amused look on his face.

Interrupting Derek's vivid arm gestures he said "So basically you don't know what he did to her, except she's fine now."

"Yep, totally fine."

Derek practically jumped out of his skin on hearing her, whereas KF just turned to her and grinned. His eyes examining every inch of her for a sign of injury.

Then he said "What's with the Lacoste?"


Yeah the lift thing was a total anti-climax. Thanks for reading. I'd like you to review obviously, even if it is to slate me for the dialogue, but don't feel you have to or anything.
