AN: I'm so sorry! I didn't think it would take me this long to update this story and things happened in my personal life that kind of gave me writers block for it. Luckily though, it passed and I finished getting this baby typed up. :D I hope you enjoy it, and now that school is almost out for the summer I should be updating my stories more regularly. You don't have to review, but it would make me happy if you did. Thank you and have a nice day.

Raven stared into Jinx's eyes as she gently brushed some of her hair away from her face. It was two months after Jinx had made her promise, and although they had been stressed out and fighting more than usual, Raven thought things were finally starting to look up. Jinx smiled at Rae, but something seemed off to the empath. Guilt was rolling off the pink haired girl and Raven couldn't figure out why. It put her on edge.

Jinx had been rather secretive lately. She was trying to almost push Raven onto a friend she had just made, and Raven didn't like it. She just couldn't figure out what was going on with the other girl. Raven had a feeling, but she didn't want it to be true. The idea had been eating at Raven internally, but she didn't want to ask Jinx for fear of Jinx taking it the wrong way.

Jinx sighed quietly and averted her eyes. Raven looked down, she knew what was coming the minute the thought came into Jinx's head. The night wasn't going to end well for Raven.

"Hey Rae, I think we need to talk."Jinx said and shifted her eyes to the ground. An intense wave of guilt and sorrow hit Raven from the other girl, causing Raven's knees to almost buckle. Raven quickly threw up a mental barrier to try to block out some of these emotions. Raven swallowed hard as Jinx tried to find the words to say. A sigh crossed Raven's lips as she whispered hoarsely to Jinx.

"Just tell me who it is." Raven said as she stared at the ground. Tears threatened to spill from their holding place at her eyes. She wanted to get away from this situation and pretend it had never happened. Her heart ached in her chest as Jinx's answer passed through her lip.

"It's Kid Flash." Jinx mumbled. Raven turned and started walking away. It felt as if a bullet had gone through her tears spilled over her eyes and down her face as her emotions tore at her mind. Raven's body hurt from the stress she was in. It was hard to breathe and Raven's limbs felt as if they were on fire.

Jinx yelled at Raven to wait. When that didn't work she reached out and grabbed her arm. The moment she touched Raven's skin; however, Raven turned and-

Sweat poured off Raven as she bolted upright in her bed. She tried to catch her breath as she looked around, trying to figure out what was real and what she had dreamed. Her heart raced as she used her hand to support herself as she tried to calm it. It took her a few moments to shake off the nightmarish memory, but when she did she noticed that the figure of the thief that had been there when she fell asleep, wasn't there anymore.

Raven buried her head in her hands and silently willed away the tears that had built up in her eyes. It had been months since she had a nightmare like that, especially of that day. Her heart ached to remember it. She had tried to block that day from her memory, but it had never worked. It had taken her a year to return to some sort of stability after that day had happened. It was one of the worst days in Raven's life.

Jinx had been all Raven had loved, and she had destroyed Raven's trust in humans for a long time. It made chills run down her spine just remembering that day. Raven sighed and tried to shake the sadness off of her. She got up and changed clothes quickly before sitting back on the bed to meditate. The thought of Jinx being in her house had been erased and replaced with the tranquil darkness of Raven's inner mind. She didn't journey to Nevermore since she had reached some sort of calm with her powers after the incident of running into Jinx at the bar.

Soon, thoughts of Jinx filled Raven's head. Raven looked at the stone walkway that had filled her mindscape and started walking down it. It was lined with memories of she and Jinx when they were together. Raven paused at one of them. The image of she and Jinx walking through a park and going off the trail into the woods made her smile. Jinx had always like to go adventuring, as she had called it, and walk through the woods that lined the eastern most edge of Jump Park's trail.

Raven watched for a while before moving on. The memories flowed around her as if they were in a river. The path that Raven walked down was long and winding. It held all the memories that she had throughout her lifetime, although some she kept hidden away from this place. A smile crossed the half demon's face as she watched another memory, this one of Jinx trying to cook breakfast and failing miserably. Raven had always done the cooking for the two of them. She had tried to get Jinx to take lessons, but the other woman never would.

It was about this time that the smell of eggs and bacon met Raven's nose. What is that smell? Raven asked herself. She had barely gotten the thought out before a loud bang startled her out of her meditation. Raven fell from where she had been levitating, hit the edge of the bed, and fell onto the floor. her eyes met the figure of Jinx in the doorway holding some kind of tray in her hands with food on it.

"Breakfast is ready!" She yelled before realizing that Raven was on the floor, dressed in new clothes, and looking extremely startled. Jinx laughed internally and quickly set the tray down before going to help Raven. Raven grabbed the hand Jinx held out to her and got off the floor.

"What on Earth do you think you're doing?" Raven asked Jinx, shocked by what had happened, and slightly confused about what was going on. Jinx shrugged and made a motion for her to sit back down. After Raven did so, she grabbed the tray and sat down next to her. Raven looked over the tray and was slightly surprised at what she say. The tray had two plates on it. Both of the plates were filled with bacon, eggs, toast, and an orange slice and two cups sat on it. Raven sniffed and found that one had tea and the other had coffee.

"I thought I'd be nice and make you breakfast since you let me stay last night." Jinx replied sheepishly before grabbing a piece of toast from one of the plates and nibbling on it. A faint blush appeared on Raven's face as she remembered what had happened the night before. She grabbed one of the forks and poked the yolk of the egg with it. For some reason she didn't trust Jinx's cooking.

"Since when do you cook?" Raven asked Jinx. A smug smile crossed Jinx's face. She looked like someone who had just discovered a new species of animal, or had discovered a new planet. It was too much pride for someone who had just learned to cook eggs and bacon.

"I took cooking classes a few summers ago, and I picked it up pretty quickly so I took more advanced classes. You could say I'm a chef." Jinx laughed. A sly smirk crossed Raven's face, and when Jinx noticed it a worried look crossed hers.

"I could say that, but that would be insulting actual chefs everywhere." Raven remarked dryly as she bit off a piece of bacon. Jinx's face turned a bright crimson as she struggled for a good comeback. Raven laughed and took another bite of the food and a sip of the tea.

"Although I will admit," she started to say, "It's not that bad."

The pair ate in silence the rest of the meal. After eating, they went down into the living room to watch some tv and pass the time. Raven smiled as the two of them chatted throughout the show they were watching. It was nice to be able to talk to someone freely again without having to worry about keeping up appearances. Although Raven had many friends, each of them only knew one side of her. Jinx was the only one that had seen Raven not only at her best, but at her worst and everything in between.

A knock at the door made Raven feel uneasy. Nobody ever visited her at home. Jinx looked confused at the other woman's uneasiness and decided to keep quite. Raven got up and walked to the door, but paused before opening it. Feelings of worry, fear, anger, and suspicion met her mind and she had to fight to keep them away. This wasn't going to be a pleasant visit, it was going to be business. The doorknob clicked as she turned it and opened to reveal a man outside of her door. He wore darker clothes and it was obvious by the way his hood was up that he was trying to keep his identity secret.

"Raven." he spoke. His voice was low and there was only one person it could've belonged to. Raven forced a small smirk and moved out of the way to let him in. Once he had walked into the living room, he collapsed on the couch. It was obvious he was weary from fighting and who knows what else. Raven moved to the kitchen to make another cup of coffee, and handed it to him. He thanked her and drank it letting his hood fall to reveal longer black hair and an angular face.

"Richard, it's been a while. What bring you to my home?" Raven asked before sitting next to Jinx and crossing her legs.

"We have a problem." He stated simply before taking another drink and launching into his story.
