A/N: Hey everyone, ElectronicLuvr here. I've been trying to start writing a multi-chapter story. Possibly a continuation between Flinx. A look into their developing relationship. I hope you will like the story! Thank you and enjoy!

"I love him" Jinx thought.
"No more running away. I did my fair share of doing this so often, it became a natural reflex and it formed into an unhealthy cycle. Damn, who knew love could be a more powerful drug than actual drugs itself."
I wrapped up my thoughts and climbed up to the window leading to my bedroom. The sun was already starting to rise. It was 5:00 A.M. Aside from a cycle of running away, I had another cycle. It was a cycle of coming back to a certain speedster. Visiting him once a while turned into monthly visits. Monthly became weekly, then weekly became daily. Sleepless nights and staying up til sunrise became our usual doing. We would usually talk about random things such as,"If you had to pick another super power which one would you choose?" Questions like that we would discuss, but never the personal stuff. At least to me, not yet. I secretly loved it, but I would never let him know that.
Jinx changed into her pajamas to get ready for bed. Jinx wore a purple strap tank top. Her tank top hugged her body and showed off her curves. She wore black sweatpants that matched the cool atmosphere. She let her hair down. After slipping on her clothes, Jinx jumped into bed thinking about her boyfriend as she slowly fell asleep. When she was falling asleep, a knock woke her up.
"Jinx?" A voice spoke.
Jinx woke up and opened the door to reveal her one eyed teammate, See-more.
"Hey See-more, what's up." I calmly asked him.
"There's a sale downtown on computers and jewelry. Since I know how much you like jewelry. I wanted to ask if you would like to come?" See-more suggested.
"Sorry See-more, I'm going to have to pass. But thanks for asking me." I rejected.
See-more stared at Jinx for a brief moment, distracted by the fact she would pass up on a chance to grab jewelry. He then questioned her.
"Jinx, are you okay? You never seem to go out with us anymore." See-more stated.
"I'm fine, See-more. I've been really tired. I haven't been getting enough sleep." I lamely came up with an excuse.
"Oh alright… Jinx, if you need something you could always talk to me." He mentioned.
"Thanks See-more, I'll keep that in mind. Have fun and knock yourself out." I told him.
See-more smiled before turning around and leaving. I shut the door and went back to bed. As I laid down, I thought about the question See-more had asked me. What made me stopped stealing? It took me a while to answer that question, but my feelings tried to explain the best it could. I guess I just lost the interest in stealing. At first, it was sort of a thrill to just steal. To break the law, to not follow the rules, and not care what anyone thought about me. But then something in me shifted. I no longer had the thrill or need to steal anymore. What was the point? I never really had use for the items I stole anyway. It was just there. A constant reminder of why I chose to do what I did. When I think back to it, all it made me feel was numb. Not thrill, not fun. Simply entirely numb. I kept thinking about it until I eventually fell asleep.
*August 20, 2007| H.I.V.E Base| 5:00 P.M.*
Jinx woke up to a blaring alarm sound blasting through her dimmed, atmospheric room. She quickly opened her eyes and shot up sitting on her bed and turned the alarm clock off. She realized how late it was when her eyes fell on the arrows. "I got to start fixing my sleeping pattern." She scolded herself. Jinx got up and immediately grabbed her usual uniform and headed for the shower. As Jinx turned on her shower, the hot water gently came down hitting her skin. She closed her eyes as the steam filled the bathroom. She stayed like like for ten minutes before finally wrapping up her shower session with brisk shampooing. Jinx came out of the shower with a white towel wrapped around her body. She gently wiped the steam off the mirror and stared at herself. Her image turned into Kid Flash. God, she missed him. She wondered where he was. Possibly on patrol, she couldn't wait to see him again.
I walked inside my room when the first thing that caught my eye were a bouquet of roses on my bookshelf. A note was attached to it. I grabbed the note with a quick force and read it with anticipation. "Hey there Jinxy, let's do something different tonight. Date night? Just you and I? Meet me at our usual place. I have somewhere in mind I have to take you. Be there at 7:00 P.M."
I looked up and stared into space, "A date?" My thoughts started to romantically wander. Maybe it's getting more serious than I thought. Suddenly, my eyes snapped back onto the sentence I had missed at the bottom. It read,"By the way Jinxy, you look beautiful. Of course you knew that. Can't wait to see you tonight. - Love, KF." My stomach started producing butterflies. I whispered,"I can't wait either, Flash."
After reading Wally's note, I decided to get ready. I rummaged through my dresser to find a dress I bought previously, but never had an event to wear it to. This dress was perfect for this special occasion. It was a short V neck, lacy , and black dress that showed off my curves and a little bit of cleavage. I thought to myself,"Dress to impress right?" Either I go hard or go home and this dress was the definition of that. To match my dress, I put on some black heels and left my hair in a half up-do hairstyle. I was beginning to love this hair style. I really ditched the putting my hair up in devil horns. I grew out of the "trying to be evil phase," and finished it off with silver, rose earrings, and a black clutch.
I peered over to my dresser as my clock displayed 6:35 P.M. I decided to get going and hopped out my window. I took my usual path to stay hidden and quickly walked until I saw the entrance of the storage unit. I went in an closed the metal door. I looked around to see if Wally was there. I saw that the room was empty. It was weird, because usually he would show up twenty minutes before me every time we hung out. It was 6:50 P.M. I took this extra time to prep myself. There was a small mirror and I stared into it. I couldn't believe I looked like this. I never considered myself as good looking, always just decent looking enough.
"Wow" A deep voice echoed.
My head snapped around to find Wally dressed in his uniform still.
"Jinxy… You look gorgeous. I'm speechless." He continued.
I responded back by walking towards him and wrapping my arms around his neck and giving him a kiss. This kiss was different. It wasn't passionate, but it was soft and gentle. Like a kiss to be savoured. After we broke apart. I proceeded to speak.
"Thanks Wally, but you do know dates don't include superhero uniforms right?" I laughed.
"I know Slowpoke, that's why I mentioned earlier I have a special place to take you. It's no where in Jump City. I can't really burn holes in my date attire can I? Y'know with my awesome super speed." He said humorously.
"Haha, very funny Wally. At least someone has to boost you." I shot back.
"Well then pretty lady, you ready to go?" He asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I replied.
"Okay Jinx, hold on tight. 3...2.." He counted.
Before he could even say 1, he sped off. I expected him to count to one, but it caught me by surprise. I held on to dear life and everything was a blur. I felt dizzy during the process of Wally running. Then suddenly, he stopped and cheerfully exclaimed,"We're here!"
I looked around the setting really oddly, it was suddenly night time and lights were flashing throughout the street. I saw the Eiffel Tower leering over buildings. Children and citizens were huddling around a mime artist and the words they were speaking weren't in English.
I quickly turned to Wally and asked him,"Wally? Where are we!? We better not be where I think we are" I said angrily.
"To answer your question, my love. We are in Paris, France!" He ecstatically replied.
My jaw dropped to the floor and I had to take a moment to comprehend where we were.
"Wally? Would it be possible for you to take us back?" She pried.
"No can do Jinxy, we're already here. You have nothing to worry about I could take us back to Jump City as fast as I got us to France." He explained.
I looked at him in disbelief. "Paris, France? Smooth move, West." I thought.
"Be back in a jiff!" Wally exclaimed.
And he was back within a second in front of me, wearing a black and white tuxedo with a black tie. My eyes glued to Wally. He was already handsome, but could it be possible for a human being to become even more attractive than they already were? I was so infatuated with him I forgot why I was angry in the first place. Wally looked at me and held out his arm.
"Ready milady?" He gave his signature smile.
"Ready as I'll ever be." I gave him a smirk and held his arm.
Wally smiled and said,"Let the adventure begin!"
