She jogged down the alleyway, pausing to catch her breath.
She sighed and glanced around. There was no one there, then why did she feel like someone was watching her?
She bit her lip and cautiously took a step forward. Nothing happened; she relaxed and continued at a medium walking pace. A slight breeze blew past her. She tensed abruptly and stopped. "H-hello? Is anyone there?" She asked, biting her lip.
She hated being alone, she hated it.
Another slight breeze. She gulped and whispered: "K-kid Flash? Is that…you?" No one answered. She felt like crying, but then chuckled softly to herself. Stupid her, she had dared to hope, but he wasn't here, he was probably on the other side of the world showing off and flirting with some other girl, probably someone prettier than her. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to stop thinking about it.
Why was she thinking like that? He definitely didn't like her, it was against the rules for a hero to like a villain, and vice versa. But why did she keep on hoping? He wasn't coming back. Never ever… She reached into her coat pocket and felt the rose between her fingers. Suddenly she couldn't help it anymore, she began to cry. She sank to her knees and sobbed. "Why me? Why me? WHY ME?! Why did you have to torture me?! Why did you have to notice me?! Why did the world have to make my life miserable? Why?! I could have stayed with the H.I.V.E. 5! Why?! Why…" She curled up into a small ball and cried.
That is until she heard someone say: "Hey slowpoke, yer gonna catch a cold here outside in the snow." Her heart skipped a beat. She jumped up and whirled around, sending a hex flying at whoever had said that.
"Woah girl! Don't get so sassy!" Kid Flash jumped out of the hexes way. "Jinx caught her breath. "Don't EVER scare me like that AGAIN." She growled, her heart was jumping a mile a minute. He came back, he came back. "Why…why are you here?" Kid flash dusted his suit off. "Here to pick you up, the titans are fightin' the brotherhood of evil, thought you could help."
"What?" She couldn't help it anymore, she screamed at him. "WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU?! YOU RUINED MY LIFE! MADAME ROUGE HATES ME BECAUSE OF YOU! THE H.I.V.E. 5 DOESN'T KNOW WHERE I AM! AND MOST OF ALL, AND MOST OF ALL YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO COME HERE AND ASK ME FOR MY HELP?!" He flinched. She crumpled to her knees again and started to cry into her hands.
"Hey, I didn't ruin your life just for fun you know."
She glared at him. "Then why did you ruin it?"
He shrugged and gave her that cocky grin of his. "Because you're different then the other girls, you wanted to change, you hated your life before," He glanced at her. "And you didn't want to be a bad again."
Her eyes widened. He was smarter then she had expected. "Y-you don't know that."
He gave her a, remorseful, no envious! Look and stated grudgingly. "I was jealous of you, you had friends, and in the beginning, I was just trying to take you away from your friends before, but then, I just sorta got to, well, know you. And I thought I could help you." He glanced at her. "So whaddya say? Ya wanna help us fight the brotherhood of evil, or are you just gonna sit out here in the cold and throw yourself a pity party?"
She thought for a moment. "No, I-I'll go with you, under one circumstance, you don't try anything flirty with me."
He grinned. "Got it. But ya know, If your all awkward about it, maybe," He blushed. "Maybe we could just start of a-as friends?" He scratched the back of his head.
"Friends…" She said wistfully. "Just friends…" She reached for his hand and squeezed it. "I-I guess so…" She smiled uncertainly.
He grinned. "Really?!" She nodded. "He laughed. "Alright then! Let's go kick some brotherhood butt!" She laughed. "Alright." He picked her up bridal style and sprinted for Paris.
