"What are you wearing?" Kid Flash asked staring at Jinx in the mirror.
"I'm pretty sure it's a dress Wally." Jinx answered sarcastically. She was pinning her back to put the blonde wig on again.
Wally frowned disapprovingly. It went above her knees higher than he would like. It was a black dress with a lacey skirt and a tight sweetheart neckline. The hose she wore with it made her legs seem more covered, but it also added to the allure. The boots were tough, black lace up ones. When the wig went on it was finally complete, except she forgot the ring. Jinx reached in her jewelry bow and pulled out the black rose ring.
He paid particular attention to when she put the ring on her finger. Wally noticed a happy reminiscent smile on her face, it bothered him.
There was no way he liked that she was dressing…seductively for her ex, but he accepted that it was part of luring the loser into the trap. That ring bothered him the most out of the entire ensemble. She kept it since she left Isaac and it makes her smile now still.
"I want to come with you tonight." He states.
Jinx stares at his serious reflection in the mirror. "It's not a good idea." She says.
"I don't like you going alone to meet this guy. What if tries to you know!"
"You mean what if he tries to take advantage of me?" Jinx eyes had narrowed. "I can't take care of myself thank you."
"Yeah I know you can!" He said vehemently turning away.
Jinx rolled her eyes. Wally was being a big baby. "You know I would never cheat on you." She pointed out annoyed that she had to point it out to him.
"I'll be fine Jinx. You don't you need to reassure me of anything! Look, just get ready and go and I'll see you later tonight." He walked through the door between their rooms. When she heard the lock snap, separating them completely, it made Jinx flinch. She sighed and turned back to her vanity table. She rested her forehead on her hands for a moment feeling stressed about this.
Tonight's meeting was incredibly important to get the evidence she needed to for a search and arrest warrant. Wally became moody after a meeting where she retold her actions to capture Isaac's attention and trust. Her flirting with him and his asking her stay the night overshadowed the fact that she managed to get out of there without ending up in a situation she wasn't interested in entering again.
Jinx knew Isaac would be more persistent with her tonight, but her quick thinking got her out of tougher situations than this.
She went through her jewelry box again looking for a particular necklace she hoped would help fix Wally's jealousy. Jinx pulled out a gold chain necklace with a golden bolt of lightning dangling on it. This was a secret piece of jewelry even Wally didn't know she had. Affection was not something she willingly displayed, but for this instance she would allow it.

She entered the club as easily as the night before. Not seeing Lily anywhere nearby she approached Isaac immediately causing his girl's to be shooed away again.
"Jinxie!" He grinned mischievously at her. She was within enough reach that he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his lap. "How is my fair maiden tonight?" He cupped her face in his hand and stared at her face, but he had noticed her necklace and was trying to conceal his anger. "My other maidens bore me now that you've returned. You will keep me amused tonight I hope?"
Jinx smirked at him, but she couldn't refuse him right away, and if she used Wally as an excuse again he would become very suspicious. "I don't know Isaac." She got up from his lap. "I'm enjoying my infidelity, but I want to enjoy it with more male company than usual. Being so reckless does give me a high."
"Truly?" He sounded very annoyed. "And how long will that satisfy you?"
"Until one dominant male remains" She turned away from him. "If he doesn't keep my interest then I'll just toss him." Jinx left the challenge hovering in the air.
"You remain a flirt still." Isaac observed. "But I think that each one you come across will not be able to keep up with you, and then you'll come back to my side."
He was being very direct about his intentions. She didn't respond to his comment, but said she was going to find some boy to buy her a drink. That was an easy task she just had to approach the bar, and one guy immediately offered her one, but seeing the ring on her finger scared him off after he got her the drink.
Although she was there to gather evidence there was no way Isaac would offer any up right now. He was too focused on her. She needed to think of a way to get the evidence, but not get too deep into flirting with Isaac that he wouldn't let her say no to his advances after that.
Jinx suddenly caught sight of fire spurting out of one of the dancers mouths. She released that it was just alcohol and a lighter, but it inspired her with a brilliant idea. If the building were to catch on fire the drugs could be discovered by the police in the process, and it would be a perfectly legal collection of evidence against him. The only issue was setting the building on fire without killing anyone. There was one way, and it involved going down a path she hoped to avoid, but in this case she could stay away from the usual way it had gone in the past.
Jinx sighed and swallowed her drink down. She walked over to Isaac and kissed him on the cheek, and whispered in his ear "Tell everyone to leave for a party at the warehouse. I want to do this now."
Isaac snapped his fingers at once for his right-hand man to approach and take his orders. Within 15 minutes the place was empty except for her and Isaac, now totally alone.

Raven was becoming very irritated with Kid Flash. He paced in the center of the main room in a continuous circle burning his steps into the carpet. Starfire was attempting to comfort her stressed friend by offering him numerous distractions such as playing video games or watching TV. Beast Boy and Cyborg continued to provoke his stress by speaking of Jinx and that Isaac boy together right then and there. That only made Wally sweat more and want to check up her on her immediately.
"Kid Flash?" Raven asked a red vein bulging out of her forehead. "Jinx is completely fine, so quit burning up our rug."
He looked down at the carpet and realized then what he had inadvertently done. "Sorry Raven. I'm a little anxious I guess." He tried to laugh it off.
"The only thing to worry about is if Jinx can't get the evidence tonight." Robin said going over some files on the computer. "If she keeps visiting the club we'll be found out soon enough."
They were interrupted by the flashing red alarm. On the main computer popped up the report that required they're help.
"It's a fire." Robin informed everyone. "A fire randomly started at…the Demon Den!"
"What?" Kid Flash looked at the screen worried for his girlfriend's life. "I'll meet you guy's there!" He called before dashing off. He slowed down when he began coughing breathing in the smoke that filled the surroundings. Kid Flash saw the firemen soaking the building in water. He approached one of them standing near the truck.
"Did everyone escape from the building?" Kid Flash inquired.
"We saved the only living person from the building. He's in the ambulance he inhaled too much smoke and will need to go to the hospital."
"What about a girl?"
The fireman looked grim. "We found a body in there too, but it was burnt beyond recognition. One guy said that the deceased was wearing heals so he assumed it was girl. We can't remove her until the fire is out though." He paused. "Did you know the girl?"
Wally looked away. "Yeah…" He said distantly. "I think that was my girlfriend in there."
"What was she doing in there?"
"Undercover business, finding evidence to prove they had drugs circulating in the club." His answers were robotic. Wally felt a tear springing up from his eye.
"We did smell something sweet in there. It's probably the drugs; in the end they were discovered."
His voice was breaking when he said the last thing. "She would've wanted that!" Kid Flash ran off then back to the tower; there was no way they could have left yet.
He entered the garage and found them loading themselves into the car.
"Kid Flash what has happened?" Starfire asked. When she saw his expression she became more worried. "Something is not well."
Kid Flash told them what he discovered at the scene. Starfire cried when she heard of the burnt body, but everyone else was skeptical.
"If the body couldn't be recognized as her we can't say it is Jinx." Cyborg said to Kid Flash.
"She would have contacted us by now." Kid Flash said harshly unable to except false hope. "We'll go back and wait until we can identify the…" he almost said body, but he caught himself "to identify her." No one would try to broach the subject again. Kid Flash was grieving and could not change his mind's view from what he believed.
