Thank You
(A/N: Hey guys. Your reviews meant the world to me I am one happy girl.
Anyways, this chapter is going to focus more on Jinx and Kid Flash getting to know each other. I just wanted a couple chapters on them getting closer and then I'll start writing about Jinx being a good guy. Whoop whoop.
Oh, and I don't own shit.)
When the movie ended, Wally stood up, wiping remains of popcorn on his jeans. He stuck out his hand to Jinx, but she ignored it and just stood up, taking the soda with her. She threw it out as she was leaving the dark room. She noticed 3 guys staring at her as soon as she left the theatre. She raised an eyebrow at them.
"Hey there, pinky," Called out one. He had blonde hair with a beanie.
"Hello," she mumbled, and started to walk away. Wally hadn't even left the theatre. "He's probably in the bathroom or something," Jinx thought. She had kind of left him in the theatre.
"I like your hair," Said another boy. He had dark hair with intense green eyes.
"Thanks," She said, looking straight ahead. The dark haired boy left his friends and started walking towards her.
"No, really. I mean it," He said, his eyes were sincere. Jinx blinked. "Thanks," she said, a little confused.
"You'd think that pink hair would be weird, but it works really well with you. I'm Jason, by the way," The boy said. His friends were watching him silently.
"What's your name?" He asked. Jinx opened her mouth to answer, but then realized she couldn't tell him her name was Jinx. Luckily for her, a voice called after her.
"Hey, wait up!" Wally said, walking briskly out of the theatre.
"Sorry it took so long," Wally said. "Just had to finish the popcorn," He grinned. Jinx rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Is this your friend?" Wally asked, eyeing Jason who smiled at him.
"Hi, I'm Jason," He said to Wally. Wally introduced himself. Jason turned to Jinx.
"I got to go, but call me," He said, holding out a piece of paper. Jinx widened her eyes, but took the paper. Jason grinned and saluted.
"I look forward to hearing from you, mystery girl. See ya," he said, and turned away. He ran back to his friends and went into the theatre.
Wally immediately turned to Jinx. "Well, aren't you Miss Popularity?" He smiled at her, but his smile wasn't as wide as before. He was slightly irritated. "Play it cool, Wally," He told himself silently.
"Yeah, coming from the boy that flirts with every girl," Jinx scoffed.
"What?" Wally said. Jinx motioned to the girl at the register. It was the same girl that Wally got the snacks from and had flirted with.
"It's called being friendly," Wally told Jinx defensively.
"So you'd wink to a guy?" Jinx asked while reading Jason's number. She carefully tucked it in her pocket. Wally ignored her question.
"You… You're not actually going to call him, are you?" Wally asked incredulously, eyes widening. Jinx shrugged. She could hear a different tone to Wally's voice. One she didn't like at all.
"Let's go get something to eat, I'm starving," She said, quickly changing the subject. This was making her uncomfortable. She didn't like the way Wally was acting. He was acting possessive and weird. Wally looked like he was going to say something but then changed his mind.
"You're actually hungry?" He asked, surprised. Jinx nodded. Wally slowly brightened up and then took her hand.
"What are you hungry for?" He asked. Jinx looked around.
"Let's go here," She said, hastily leading him to a random place. It turned out to be a fast food diner. Jinx sat down on a random table and motioned Wally to come. He sat down right beside her.
A waitress greeted them. "Welcome to the Rock n' Roll Diner! What would you like to eat?"
Jinx glanced at the menu. "Cheeseburger, no onions, and fries. And water please," She said quickly. The waitress wrote it down and glanced at Wally.
"A double cheeseburger, no onions, two fries, onion rings, and a chocolate milkshake," Wally said and grinned at the waitress. She smiled back and took their menus. Jinx felt her stomach tighten. "It's just a smile. He was just smiling," She told herself silently. She clenched her fist and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"Something wrong?" Wally asked, lightly. Jinx looked at him.
"Just surprised at how much you eat," Jinx lied. Wally laughed.
"Yeah, well, being the fastest boy alive, I need to eat my strength," He said, leaning back. He seemed to be in a much better mood.
"So, about that guy," Wally began. Jinx groaned inwardly. "What were you guys talking about?" Wally asked, trying to sound nonchalant. But even to his ears, he sounded curious and slightly jealous.
"My pink hair," Jinx said while running a hand through a lock of her hair. "He said it looked good on me. He thought I dyed it," She giggled.
"Ah," Wally said, his stomach clenching slightly. "It was John, right?"
"Jason," She corrected immediately. She then noticed his face darkening slightly. She felt uncomfortable again. "At least he knows what it feels like," She thought, "At least he knows how I feel when he flirts with other girls. But I wasn't even flirting. I don't flirt,"
Luckily for her, their waitress came with their food, providing a nice distraction. But looking at the greasy food, Jinx felt her stomach protest in disgust. She actually hadn't really been hungry, but she just wanted to change the subject so Wally would leave her alone about that guy. She picked up her cheeseburger and took a bite.
"So have you thought of a name yet?" Wally asked, already done with his cheeseburger. Jinx had to remind herself not to wrinkle her nose in disgust.
"Uh. Not yet. I'm thinking of a few," Jinx said, eating another bite of her burger. It wasn't as bad as it looked. She munched thoughtfully.
"Like what?" Wally asked, eating an onion ring. Jinx looked down, thinking.
"I like the name… Genevieve," She said, quietly. "Gigi for short," She said, a little louder. She looked up. Wally had stopped eating.
"Genevieve… Genevieve…. Gigi…." He tried out. He smiled. "It suits you… It's very…. French,"
Jinx smiled. "I'm just thinking about it. It's not for sure yet."
"Well, it's very pretty. Just like you," Wally said, looking right into her pink eyes. Jinx blushed and turned back to her burger.
"So how do you like your food?" Wally asked, after a very awkward silence. Jinx looked up from her meal, she was almost done.
"It's pretty good. I haven't had burgers in forever," Jinx replied.
"You know, this is the most I've seen you eat since you stayed with me," Wally said, finishing his meal. He opened his wallet to pay and stood up. He left a couple crumpled bills on the table.
"Come on," He said, "Let's go,"
Jinx stood up and he took her hand. Side by side, hand together, they left the diner.
The sun had just started to set, and Jinx looked up at the sky. It was a fusion of pink, blue, and red. She'd seen it many times on the H.I.V.E Five's roof, and it never ceased to take her breath away.
"The H.I.V.E Five…" Jinx thought. "I wonder what they're doing right now,"
"Penny for your thoughts?" Wally asked, interrupting Jinx's thoughts. She jumped slightly.
"I guess I'm just wondering about the H.I.V.E Five," Jinx said thoughtfully. "I just-," She began, but something stopped her. An alarm in a nearby store went off and glass shattered everywhere. Wally quickly shielded Jinx to protect her from the shards.
"Be right back. Duty calls," Wally said, lightly. In a flash, he was gone. Jinx looked at the shattered window of the store. Two men were jumping out of the store, holding bags.
"Two men. Probably armed. Around 5'8 and 5'9. One of them is heavy set. Looks around 170-190 pounds. Easy to take," Jinx thought, quickly hiding behind a telephone booth. The men were laughing and running. Without thinking, Jinx raised her arm and energy shot out. She aimed it at the street, causing a small earthquake. One of the guys fell roughly. She aimed another hex right at a tree, making it fall and block the other guys' way.
Kid Flash appeared, costumed and ready. He looked surprised at how they were already taken down. Jinx smiled to herself. Kid Flash looked up to where Jinx was hiding and winked. He took their money bags and returned the stolen valuables to the store and then grabbed both of the men and disappeared.
"He probably took them to jail," Jinx thought. "And I helped," It was strange to her that one day she was against the law, and the next day she was with the law. "Just like that,"
"Looks like those guys have incredibly bad luck," Kid Flash suddenly appeared in front of her. Jinx smiled at him and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Looks like it. I guess you were too slow," Jinx teased. Kid Flash laughed.
"You make an excellent partner, Jinx," Kid Flash bowed, "I am honored to have you by my side,"
Jinx gulped. "I-I can't believe I just did that," She said, a bit shakily. She laughed weakly. Kid Flash looked at her, head tilted. He was expecting an explanation.
"It's just weird. It's so weird being on one side one moment and the next side another," Jinx said, sitting on the street curb. "Sometimes I wonder if it's even possible. I just left. I'm supposed to be a mediocre villain, not some hero," She laughed humorlessly.
Kid Flash sat next to her. "Of course it's possible. You were born with gifts people think are impossible, and you had the choice on how you use them. It's not always final though. You have the choice to change. Always. You always have that choice," He said seriously. "I believe in you, Jinx. You deserve a lot more than what you settle for. Definitely not those losers of a team. You deserve people that respect and admire you. The Brotherhood of Evil doesn't deserve someone like you. You're powerful and smart and wonderful," He said. Jinx stared at him, touched by his kind words. Without thinking, she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. For the first time, she saw Kid Flash blush.
"Thank you," She whispered. And she got up and started walking, leaving the shocked red headed hero looking after her, grinning widely.
(A/N: That's the end of chapter 6. Tell me when it gets boring. I know I add in way too many details. :p
I added in the Jason character just for the sole purpose of someone making Wally/Kid Flash jealous. But if you guys want to see more of him, just say so.
Tell me what you think. If you see any things that need to be changed, please tell me! I didn't spend a lot of time editing this. It might've been a little rushed… -_- I've been updating super fast because I'm on a roll. Also, I hate to keep people waiting. I know how frustrating it is to wait and wait for a new chapter.
