Normal P.O.V
Jinx walked around the café, taking orders, serving people, talking to Acey, who was sat at a bar stool. Finally her break came as she sat next to Acey, who smiled at her.
"Hiya Jinxy, we're not that busy today are we?" the young girl asked, Jinx smiled and shook her head.
"No, no we're not."
"Why don't we go somewhere after you finish, mommy and daddy won't mind" Acey smiled, Jinx nodded again, Aceys' smiled widened. The bell on the café chimed, the two girls turned to see who it was, Jinxs' mouth fell open as Wally walked in, he was wearing civilian clothes, a simple white t-shirt, with blue trouser, black trainers and a grey hoodie. Acey ran up to the boy, who picked her up in his arms.
"Yay, Jinxys' boyfriend can come with us, yay" Acey smiled, Wally turned red upon hearing this, Jinx only shook her head at the younger girl, she then remembered she hadn't questioned Acey about the incident with Cinder Block, she shrugged it off and decided to leave it. Wally sat next to Jinx on a stool.
"So what's the plans for after work that I'm coming to?" Wally asked, Jinx just shrugged her shoulders.
"Not sure the park or something, somewhere Acey wants to go" Jinx answered.
"Acey wants to check out the new aquarium place in town, they have different kinds of fish, it's not a place where you buy them, simply look and pet, and maybe play if the staff let you" Norah told them, startling Jinx, who she came up behind. "Why don't you two take her to that?" she suggested, Jinx thought for a minute, then smiled.
"Sounds fun, what time does it close?" Jinx asked the older woman, who shrugged.
"I'm not sure, why don't you take off now? We're not that busy so I can handle this" Norah smiled, Jinx and Wally stared at her.
"Are you sure?" Jinx asked, Wally nodded.
"Yeah I can wait until Jinx is done with work, plus I was going to grab a bite to eat from here" Wally smiled, Jinx hung her head, she would have to put on her friendly customer act to a very hyperactive Kid Flash, who would make fun of her for it later. Norah shook her head.
"Well ok, what would you like?" Norah asked, Wally smiled at her.
"Well what's good?" he asked, Norah looked over the menu at the suggestions.
"How about the new Italian spaghetti we have, that's good" Norah suggested, Wally smiled and nodded at the woman.
"Alright I'll have that" Wally said, Norah smiled and walked off, Jinx looked around the dead café, literally it was dead, the only people were her, Wally, Acey, who was playing with some colours. The sound of a boiling pan filled the room as Norah chatted with Blake in the kitchen; Jinx smiled and went behind the bar they were sat at to get a drink.
"Would you like a drink with that?" she asked in her, well mannered, working voice, Wally looked at her a little shocked that she was serving him.
"Coke would be nice" he said, Jinx got an extra glass, filled it with coke, and pushed it to Wally, who smiled gratefully. Jinx came out from behind the bar with a Fanta; she placed in on the desk and walked over to Acey, who quickly hid her drawing.
"Whatcha drawin'?" Jinx asked her, a sneaky tone in her voice told Acey she would try to swipe it.
"No Jinxy, bad Jinxy, you'll see when it's done" Acey smiled as the older girl pouted, Wally who watched the scene unfold, tried to hid his laughter at the pouting girl, yeah he failed. Within seconds he was on the floor laughing. Jinx walked over to him, she growled a little at him, shutting him up instantly. She walked into the kitchen away from Wally and Acey to sulk.
"Man, what did I do?" Wally asked, Acey giggled at the now confused older teen.
"You didn't do anything Wally, I did, I wouldn't let her see the picture I'm drawing" Acey told him, Wally walked over to the younger girl, she again hid the picture. "Nu uh, not until I'm finished" Acey said, wagging her finger at the boy, his head hung low as he walked back to his seat. He looked up in time to see Jinx coming out with a plate of spaghetti, smiled he watched her as she walked. She balanced the plate on the right hand as she walked, a smile on her face as she put on her waitress act.
"You meal sir, sorry to keep you waiting" she smiled, Wally stared shocked, she then took a seat next to him and watched Acey colour. A smile came upon her lips as she watched the younger girl, her hands darted from colour to colour, drawing line after line, shape after shape, colouring them in, as she did this her Yin and Yang necklace flew about her neck, hitting her chest, then flying out again. Jinx chuckled at the small girl; Wally looked up from eating to look at her.
"Something wrong?" he asked, Jinx shook her head at the boy.
"No completely the opposite" she answered, she turned to Wally, who had finished his meal, her mouth dropped open. "You eat fast you know" she said, Wally laughed at her, she sighed and stood up. "If you're finished sir, I'll take your plate" she smiled Wally sat back and allowed her to take it, he watched her leave as he finished his coke. He got up from his chair and took it into the kitchen.
"I would have got that you know" Jinx told him, Wally just shrugged, as Jinx walked passed him to the changing rooms. She changed from her work top to her black tank top, her jeans stayed on, as did her sneakers. She walked back out in time to see Acey run over to Wally with the picture; she walked over to the both of them.
"Jinxy look I finished the picture" Acey smiled, Jinx stood next to Wally and looked at it, she smiled at it. The picture had Norah and Blake in it they were together holding hands, Acey was next to Norah on the left, holding her hand, Jinx was next to her as Acey held her hand, Wally was next to Jinx, his arm draped around her shoulders as a smile came on his face. Of course the picture was mainly shapes, but you could make out who they were.
"We're a big family" Acey smiled, Jinx looked at Acey, her smile became soft as she layed her gaze on the child.
"Yeah, we are" she smiled, grabbed Acey and pulled her into a hug. "Come on, we've got a surprise for you" Jinx smiled, Acey looked at her and nodded as she ran to put her shoes on, whenever Jinx said come on to her, she knew they were going somewhere. Running back over to the teens she took their hands and they headed out.
They walked for a few blocks until they were outside the new aquarium, Acey jumped for joy as she smiled at the two of them.
"Yay, can we go in?" she asked, her eyes pleading with them, Jinx nodded her head as they walked in, she reached into her pocket to pull out her purse.
"Shit" she muttered, Wally looked at her, he realised what was up and pulled out his wallet, she looked at him as if saying, don't you dare pay, but too late he already had, Jinx sighed. Acey took her hand again and began to drag the two teens, Jinx noticed her grip was stronger than usual, Wally gritted his teeth.
"Damn, the girls got a grip" he said, Jinx just stared at Acey, she was confused as to how and why she had a stronger grip, she shrugged it off as her imagination and walked at Aceys' running pace.
They entered a large room; it was like an underwater aquarium, looking around Acey saw, puffer fish, angel fish, cat fish, dog fish and many more. All the fish had bright colours, which she loved, she ran in circles looking from fish to fish. Jinx sat on a bench, which looked like it had a giant piranha wanting to eat her; she looked at Wally as he got his camera out. She tilted her head in confusion, she also tilted it into the piranhas' mouth, click, the picture took, Jinx was still confused, she then looked next to her. Jumping from the bench, and out of her skin, she fell into Wally, who wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her from falling.
"Sorry, next time tell me that there's something there" Jinx said, Wally stared her down.
"Don't like fish?" Wally asked, Jinx stared at him in disbelief.
"No, just the ones that bite" she muttered quietly, Wally caught it and she knew it, she waited to him to laugh but he never did, she looked up at him, he was smiling that idiotic smiled she loved.
"What? Expect me to laugh or something?" he asked, Jinx nodded her head.
"Honestly yes" she said, Wally laughed at her this time, only because she thought he would laugh at something like that. They turned back to watch Acey who was rubbing her eyes, Jinx looked at her phone, they had been in the aquarium only half an hour, so why was she so tiered?
"Acey, you ok?" Jinx asked, Acey looked at the teens approaching her, she yawned a big yawn.
"I'm fine Jinxy" Acey replied, Jinx didn't buy it, neither did Wally. Something behind them exploded, Jinx ran to Acey and covered her from the things that came flying. Looking at the wall that had exploded, there were robots there, the HIVE, and Cinder Block, Wally tip toed out of the room to change, he then ran back in as Kid Flash, but the group paid no attention to him, they were focused on Jinx, and the now unconscious Acey.
Jinxs' eyes glew pink as she sent her hex towards them, Kid Flash ran in a circle creating a tornado. Behind the HIVE and Cinder Block some robots came in, Kid Flash then took out his communicator.
"Kid Flash to Titan Tower, someone answer" he said, Ravens' face appeared on the screen, the Titans behind her.
"What's it is?" Robin asked, he saw Kid Flash was running, his eyes narrowed.
"Get to the new aquarium and fast, the HIVE, Cinder Block and some robots are here" Kid Flash said, then hung up, Robin nodded to the team as they began to leave the tower.
Jinx tried her best to fend off the robots, while having an unconscious Acey in her arms, it wasn't looking good. Kid Flash ran at the robots knocking a few of them out. More of them filled the room, as a man followed them, Jinx looked behind them, her mouth fell open and her eyes widened, Slade. She shot her hexes at him, nothing, he walked forward, grabbed her hand and twisted it, it made a snapping sound, she screamed in pain. Kid Flash ran over to them, he knocked Slade out of the way, but Slade only knocked him back.
"KID FLASH!" Jinx screamed, Acey was still unconscious in her arms, she held her closer. A robot came up behind her knocked her over the head and knocked her out, Jinx screamed in pain. Kid Flash opened his eyes as he saw Slade grab Acey.
"LET HER GO!" he yelled, he tried standing, he couldn't, the wall he was flung into had come down on top of him, the doors to the aquarium were flung open, revealing the rest of the titans.
"SLADE, DROP THE GIRL!" Robin yelled, Slade turned to them.
"Hello Titans, I would love to stay and chat, but unfortunately I have something to do, but I will leave you a present" he said, more of his robots appeared as he left, Jinx opened her eyes, after fighting her way out of the darkness to see Slade take Acey.
"No" she whispered, "NO!" she yelled, the robots all exploded, tears streamed down her face, she was bleeding losing a lot of blood but she didn't care, Slade had Acey, what more could she lose? She turned her head to look at Kid Flash, Cyborg and Beast Boy were helping him out of the rubble he was under. More tears streamed down her face, Kid Flash looked at Robin.
"Where were you? We needed help" Kid Flash growled, to say he was mad was an understatement.
"We got here as soon as we could" Robin said, Kid Flash leaned on Beast Boy, as Raven healed Jinxs' wrist, once that was done she moved on to Kid Flash, his legs were only sprained so it didn't take as long. Raven had ran to Jinx the moment they got there, helped to heal her wrist, covered her ears when she had screamed, then went back to healing. Jinx stood up, Kid Flash walked over to her, placed his hand on her back and quickly withdrew, his hand was covered with blood.
"Jinx" he said, Jinx touched her head, and brought it to her face, yeah the robot that had knocked her out cut her head open, she sighed. Raven walked forward, placed her hands on Jinxs' head and began healing again, Jinx turned to Raven once she finished.
"Thanks" she said, she turned to Robin, her eyes angry. "Your training ground, I want to borrow it" Jinx said to him, Robin cocked a brow at her.
"Why?" he asked, Jinx gave him an 'are-you-for-real?' look, as the rest of the Titans gave him an 'are-you-that-stupid?' look.
"To train why else?" she said, Robin looked at her, he nodded his head, she smiled a little.
"Ok, but maybe you should explain to us why you care so much about the girl" he said to Jinx, who bit her lip, Kid Flash stared at her, as did the other, she sighed in defeat, they would find out sooner or later.
"Her name is Acey Ruiz, her mother is Noah Ruiz, her father is Blake Ruiz, my name is Cassia Ruiz and Acey is my little sister" Jinx told them, the Titans gasped, and Jinx found out Kid Flashs' gaw could touch the floor.
