The battling stopped as everyone watched everything play out. Psimon's eyes widened as he stumbled back a bit. It was very rare for a person to break free from his mind control and when it happened it wasn't pretty, for anyone.

"GAAH!" Psimon shouted out in horror and agony as he felt this excruciating pain course through his body. He fell to one knee as he held his glass cased brain. He continued to scream in pain, and the room begin to shake, the ceiling crumbling and the walls quickly stirring.

"He's gonna blow!" Gizmo shouted over the rumbling. Bracing themselves, everyone watched as Psimon shouted out in pain, an invisible force causing everyone to fly back a few feet. Silence filled the air as everyone began to slowly open their eyes. Groans filled the air as Gizmo sat up, Mammoth following suit. They stared at Psimon, who stayed on his feet, but let his head hang low. Glancing back, the two watched as Batman shook some of the debris from his shoulder, J'onn helping him stand to his feet. The four looked back and watched intently as Jinx stayed knelt beside Flash. He laid limp on the ground, Jinx shaking him vigorously.

"Hey, you idiot! Wake up!" she snapped as she continued to try and bring him around. She held tightly to his shoulders as she closed her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she calmed down, collecting her composure. Relaxing, she began to release Flash, but stopped.

Cough Cough

Jinx's eyes brightened as she looked up and watched as Flash grinned at her, though he winced in the process.

"Y-You didn't think I'd go down that easy, did you?" he asked playfully. Everyone smiled slightly, relieved that things had somehow worked out in a strange sort of way. Before anything could be celebrated, the walls of the old Fearsome Five HQ began to shake, the ceiling rumbling above them.

"Uh oh," Gizmo muttered as he looked over at Batman and J'onn, who were grabbing Psimon's unconscious body. The two heroes looked up and watched as pebbles began to fall to the ground

"We've got to get out of here," Gizmo called out as Mammoth nodded his head, staring up at the ceiling. The other two nodded their heads as they looked over to Jinx and Flash. The woman helped the exhausted runner to his feet as they glanced around the room.

"You alright?" Batman called out as Flash gave him a smile and a nod. "Lets go," Batman said as the four began to head out of the falling room. As Jinx and Flash went to follow, Jinx stopped, her eyes wide.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Flash asked as Jinx ignored him.

"Grab him!" she shouted as she motioned for Mammoth. The large man quickly stomped over to the two, taking Flash from Jinx's care.

"What are you doing?" Flash shouted over the sound of the rocks tumbling to the ground.

"I've got to find them!" Jinx shouted, running deeper into the now shaking lab.

"Hey! Wait!" Flash shouted. He looked up at Mammoth with a flabbergasted look on his face. "Are you just going to let her go?" Flash exclaimed as Mammoth looked over at the others. Gizmo gave him an irritated look as he looked up at the crumbling ceiling.

"We've gotta go!" the smaller man shouted. Batman glanced at Gizmo before he looked over at Flash and Mammoth. He looked over at J'onn as the man turned to Jinx.

"We must go."

"Hey! Can you hear me!" A pair of dark eyes flickered around the falling apart room, searching for some sort of door or unnoticed passage way. Jinx bit her lip as she growled to herself, the fear in her chest growing inch by inch. 'Alright, if I were Psimon where-'

"Ah!" the witch tumbled to the ground as she winced, rubbing the back of her head, the rocks hitting her head falling to the ground "What-" she stopped as her eyes widened. 'What is this?' she asked herself as she saw a latch on the ground. Rubbing off the dust and dirt from the ground, she raised a brow as she grabbed the handle. Using as much of her strength as she had left, she pulled a trap door open and stared at it for a moment. Deciding to stop wasting her time, she quickly walked down the steps in the dark crevice.

"Hello?" she shouted as she glanced around the dark basement.

"Hello?" a voice called out in return. Jinx's eyes widened as she began to sprint through the dark hall. Skidding to a stop, the woman looked into a room and she gasped as she smiled.

"It's ok! You're going to be fine!" Dodging the falling rocks and pebbles, Jinx quickly made her way to the hostage Psimon had taken and began to unchain the woman. The red head sighed as she rubbed her wrists.

"Thank you," the woman said as she pulled off her blindfold. She stared at her savior and her eyes widened. She blinked as Jinx smiled weakly.

"Y-You-"

"Where are the others?" she asked quickly as the now saved woman pointed to her left.

"The next room over," she explained as Jinx created a shield to hold over their heads. As they quickly made their way out of the room.

"Get out of here! I'll be behind you!" Jinx shouted as the woman beside her shook her head.

"I can't-"

"Christina, go!" Jinx commanded with a very stern tone in her voice. Christina hesitated as she bit her lip. She turned and began to sprint down the hall without a second glance. Jinx smiled as she quickly turned and ran into the next room. As she kicked the door open, her eyes softened as she quickly ran over to two figures huddled in the corner. She smiled reassuringly as she glanced up at the ceiling, a crack running right through the middle.

"It's alright, I've got you," Jinx said gently as she pulled the two figures close.

"So this is why."

Her eyes widened as she looked back and stared at The Flash, who used the door frame to keep himself on his feet. She blinked as she looked down at the small forms in her arms. "How did you-"

"It's easy to keep up for me," Flash said with a smirk on his face. Jinx smiled slightly as she looked over the man's shoulder and watched as J'onn came up behind him. Flash looked back at his teammate as the Martian nodded. He quickly walked up to Jinx, taking the two kids into his arms. She looked up at him and nodded a thank you as J'onn smiled a small one. He closed his eyes, turning almost invisible. Jinx and Flash watched as the men flew up, disappearing with the kids.

Jinx quickly stood to her feet as she looked over at Flash, who gave her a soft expression.

"That's why you didn't have a choice," Flash stated. Jinx stared at the stone wall for a moment as she sighed.

"They were just playing on the sidewalk. It was all just wrong place at the wrong time."

The two ignored the grumbling of the building as the rocks continued to plummet towards the ground. Jinx stared in Flash's eyes as she scoffed.

"I'm a born thief. It's what I do, it's what I've always done."

"Doesn't make you evil though."

Jinx stared at the hero through her mask as she laughed, shaking her head. "You just don't give up, do you?"

"Not really," Flash responded as he grinned at her. Suddenly the two stumbled, catching their balance. Returning back to reality, the two began to realize the danger in their current positions.

"Think we should go?" Flash asked with a playful smirk. Jinx nodded her head a she noticed the crack in the ceiling growing bigger. Her eyes widened as she felt herself being tossed lightly into the air. She landed safely in a pair of arms and blinked as she looked up. "You don't mind, do you?"

"P-Put me-" Jinx's eyes widened as she watched a chunk of the ceiling begin to fall. Within a matter of a single second, Jinx found herself outside of the now destroyed room. She looked up at Flash as he smiled down at her.

"No time to argue!" he stated as Jinx rolled her eyes. "Hold on tight," he warned as he began to run at his own pace. Jinx squeezed her eyes shut as she unwillingly wrapped her arms around Flash.

It was a strange feeling, being at the same pace as Flash. Each breath she took was invigorating. Being able to see what The Flash saw every time he ran was thrilling. It was like a cold splash of water was hitting her face with every gust of air that harshly caressed her cheeks. As the wind created from Flash's speed brushed through her hair, it caused shivers to run down the witch's spine. It was nothing like she had ever felt before.

Avoiding boulder by boulder, Flash began to run faster, not wanting to get caught in the chaos. "Hold on, we're gonna be taking this up a notch!"

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"What's your name?"

"Her name is Christina."

Said woman looked around the Dark Knight and raised a brow as she watched a green man walk towards them with two resting children in his arms. Christina quickly approached the Martian as she gave him a worried expression. "What about the other two?" she asked as the two adults glanced at each other, then back at the cave. Batman placed a comforting hand on Christina's shoulder as he gave her a reassuring gaze.

"Don't worry," he simply stated as he then made his way over to a Bat-cuffed Gizmo and Mammoth.

"This is crap!" the little man snapped as he glared up at Batman, who didn't say anything, but just stared. "We help you find Psimon and lock him up and this is our thanks?" the technological wiz snapped as Mammoth stared at Batman. The man in black stared at the for a moment before he pressed a button on a small remote. Gizmo and Mammoth both blinked as they stared up at the confusing man.

"Wh-What-"

"Unless you'd like to spend some time behind bars," Batman said. The two glanced at each other before standing to their feet. They glanced back at the cave before quickly running off into the forest around them.

"Change of heart?"

Batman glanced over at J'onn as the Martian walked over to the stoic man. "Just giving them a head start," Batman stated as he turned walked toward Christina. J'onn stared for a moment before he smiled.

"Hey!" a voice rang out happily. Everyone looked over and relief ran through their veins as they watched Flash appear before them, Jinx in his arms. Just as they appeared, the cave fell through, crumbling to nothing but a pile of rocks.

"Good timing," Flash stated to himself as he set Jinx on to the ground. The woman sighed as she glanced around and found her two teammates gone. She looked over at Batman, who just smirked. She smiled as she shook her head.

"…Thank you," she started as she looked at the three heroes. "For everything you've done."

"How about a date to show your appreciation?"

"Don't get ahead of yourself," Jinx snapped as she whistled. The three Justice League members raised a brow before they watched something grab a hold of Jinx. She smirked as she began to fly into the air.

"Thanks, Giz."

"Yeah yeah," the man mumbled as he began to fly away. She watched as the team began to shrink from her view and she smiled.

"She got away…again," Flash mumbled as he anxiously looked over at Batman. The cloaked man watched as the villainess flew away before he smirked.

"We'll just have to get her next time then."

Flash blinked, shocked by the rather calm reaction Batman had given. Before he could go on about it, J'onn caught his attention.

"What is that?"

Flash raised a brow at J'onn question. "What's what?"

"That pouch in your hand," J'onn pointed out. Flash looked down and his eyes widened as he found a small little bag in his hand. He hadn't noticed it before due to all the commotion around him, but as he held it in his hand his eyes widened.

"Wait a second," Flash quickly opened the small bag and his jaw fell open slightly as he pulled a jewel out from it. "No way!" he exclaimed as he stared down at the glimmering diamond in his hand. He looked over at his teammates, who gave him a shocked expression. He stared up at the sky and a small smile appeared on his face. Squeezing the diamond tightly, he threw it up into the air and grinned, catching it with ease.

"C'mon, lets go."

"Thank you so much for everything you've all done! How can we ever thank you?"

"It's all in a day's work."

The three members of the Justice League nodded their heads at a police officer, who was helping the exhausted Christina out from the Bat-mobile. The Flash smiled at the woman as she smiled back at him and nodded her head. Before she could take another step, a frantic voice called out to her.

"Christina!"

The woman looked over at the voice and her eyes widened as an excited gleam appeared in her eyes. "Aurora!"

The sound of the woman's name quickly caught the Flash's attention as he turned and watched as the dark haired woman rushed out from the police department building. His eyes softened as he smiled and watched the woman sprint up to the recovered red head.

"You almost killed me, I was so scared!" the accountant exclaimed. She wrapped her arms tightly around the woman as Christina laughed, wrapping her arms around her best friend.

"I'm alright, aren't I?" she replied as she sighed. Glancing over to the right, Aurora's eyes widened as she saw the three superheroes watching the scene. Her eyes lingered on Flash as he smiled kindly at her. Her heart melted a bit as she returned the gesture with her own smile.

"You saved her, didn't you?" Aurora asked as she played innocent.

"Well, it's what we do," Flash stated playfully. Aurora chuckled as she shook her head.

"Isn't this the second time we've met?" the black haired woman asked as the hero in red smirked.

"Didn't forget your face, did I?"

Aurora smiled as she glanced over at Christina before turning her attention back to Flash. "Thank you, so much," she said as she looked at Batman and J'onn and smiled to them as well. "All of you, if there's anything I could do-"

"That's not necessary," the man in black stated as he shook his head. He narrowed his eyes as he felt an arm sling itself around his shoulders. He glared at the fastest man as said man ignored the cold gaze.

"Saving people is kind of our thing, so don't worry about it all too much," the man said jokingly as Batman rolled his eyes. Deciding to show more of her gratitude, Aurora reached out her hand to the Martian, shaking his firmly. He smiled gently as she smiled, hiding her wary gaze. Turning her attention to the Batman, she smiled and nodded as she shook his hand. Flash waited patiently for his handshake, but to his surprise, he received something else.

"Whoa." He blinked as he felt a pair of thin arms wrap around his neck. Glancing over at his teammates, he shrugged, trying to keep his composure together; it was futile. The other two could see right through him. He smiled to himself as he wrapped his arms around the woman's waist. Not only was Flash happy, but the Wally hidden away was jumping with glee.

The happiness was short lived as Aurora pulled away from the man. She cleared her throat, and quickly turned to walk away. Grabbing her friend's hand, she pulled the red head towards the police station, giving her a bit of time to quickly nod and give a grateful goodbye to the heroes. They watched, feeling satisfied with their work, though one man was much more pleased than the others.

"Well," Flash started as he pulled his teammates close. "I think things turned out well."

Batman and J'onn glanced at each other before turning to Flash. J'onn chuckled as he nodded his head. "I think he's right."

"Now, this is just a beauty!" a content voice stated happily. A lone figure stood in front of cracked open vault, the security system safely disabled. A chuckle filled the silence as the slim figure stared at the drawers of money through her mask.

"If you're going to take money, I suggest-Jinx?" Said villainess glanced over her shoulder and smirked as she faced a shocked Flash. He blinked, not expecting to see the thief again. "What are you doing here?" he asked as Jinx casually began to fill her sac up with dollar bills.

"Well, I'm taking money that the bank owes me," she explained as Flash raised a brow. He shook his head as he walked up beside her.

"I thought you were…reformed," the hero stated, trying to find the right word.

"Well, you see, I was never really one to want to take over the world," Jinx started. "But I've never been one to let an offer like this pass."

"Offer?"

"…Whatever!" Jinx snapped as she tied her sac, closing it with ease. She slung the bag over her right shoulder and smirked at Flash as he tried not to smile at her much more lively expression.

"The truth of the matter is, I may have put a hiatus to my thieving for a few years, but the thrill and excitement was never forgotten," she explained. "…I've decided that I'm not going to be a villain…but I definitely need the extra spending money."

Flash's eyes softened as he smiled. "That's a touching story."

"Truly, you're the worst," Jinx snapped. Snapping her fingers, Flash's eyes widened as he felt the different drawers in the vault topple on to his head. He yelped out in pain and shock as he tumbled to the ground. Jinx smirked as she made her way out of the vault. Before she stepped out, her eyes softened behind her pink rimmed mask. She turned to Flash, who shook his head and began to sit up.

"…Don't get used to this." Flash's eyes widened as he looked up to Jinx. "But thank you…for everything."

The moment was easily broken.

"Now if you'll excuse me!"

"Hey!" Even Flash's speed couldn't keep up with Jinx slamming the vault door shut. She smirked at the trapped hero through the small window and chuckled to herself.

"Have fun!"

Flash watched as Jinx waltzed away. Giving the man one last smirk, the elemental witch disappeared into the darkness of the night, sac and all. He smiled a bit, and though he should have felt disappointed in himself, he only felt more alive. His adrenaline was pumping, and in all honesty, he was more than happy to see Jinx again. He wasn't ready to let her go just yet.

"…Aw man! Batman's gonna hate me!"
