Wally and I stayed with each other for hours. It was one of the best nights of my life and I surely would not forget it. We could stay like that for a while more, but then tiredness got the better of us.
"Let's get home princess." Wally yawned.
"What already? What time is it?" I curiously asked.
"It's six in the morning." Wally answered.
"Six!?" I have to get home before my team wakes up. I forgot how fast time could fly by." Realization dawned on Jinx.
"Yeah same and I'm the need for speed type of guy." Wally chuckled.
"And so the whole world knows." Jinx sarcastically replied.
"That's the way it should be." Wally smiled brightly.
"You ready, Jinxy?" Wally questioned.
"Yes" I simply replied.
Wally zipped us away from Paris, France and just like that we were back in Jump City and back to the H.I.V.E Base. I jumped off of Wally's back and wobbled back and forth before gaining back my stance.
"Still never going to get used to that." Jinx commented.
"Ehh, you'll get used to it someday." Wally shrugged.
I looked at Wally deep into his eyes before speaking. His face blended within the sunrise. His fiery locks glistened against the rays. Looking at Wally reminded me why I fell for him in the first place.
"Thank you Wally for the date. I had a great time." I appreciatively replied.
"Anytime Jinxy. I just wanted our first date to be special. I hope I didn't come up too short." He worriedly expressed.
"Too short? Actually you met my expectations, even exceeded. I never had a date like that in my life. So thank you." I complimented.
"You're welcome Slowpoke. I'm glad you liked it." He expressed with relief washed over his face.
"Well, I gotta get going Wally. Before my teammates wake up." I reminded him.
"Alright, I'll let you go Jinxy. See you later?" He questioned.
"Yeah, definitely." I softly smiled.
"And Jinx?I love you." He gave a quick kiss on top of her forehead.
"I love you too, see you." I softly replied .
With that, he zipped away and I climbed up towards the window leading to my bedroom. I cautiously looked outside my door to observe if anyone was awake during this time.
"Looks like it's just me." I quickly closed my bedroom door and went straight to the bathroom.
I took a long, warm shower and changed into my black tank top and striped pajama bottom. I walked out into the H.I.V. E kitchen to grab a glass of water before heading to bed. On my way, I noticed a black shadow around the corner.
"Who's there? I'm not afraid of you. Come out and fight" I yelled out.
Upon saying that the shadow got closer. I held out my pink illuminated hands and walked towards the figure. As soon as I turned the corner, I was shocked to find a familiar face.
"See-more, you scared me." Jinx exhaled with relief.
"Sorry, I was just getting something to eat. I slept all day yesterday." See-more apologized.
"It's okay, the others aren't up yet?" She raised.
"Oh, they're up. They went out for an early raid at the video game store." See-more explained.
"Of course, those morons. You didn't want to go?" Jinx added.
"Nah, I just wanted to stay back for a change." He answered.
"Oh, right." I awkwardly added.
A moment of silence erupted between us. It felt like eternity before See-more spoke up.
"Well, I'm going back to my room. I think I'll try to go back to sleep if I can." See-more replied.
I couldn't take it anymore. I had to talk to See-more I decided I can't run away from my problems any longer. Before my brain could prepare on what to say. My mouth did the work for me.
"Wait, See-more. Actually… I needed to talk to you about something. If you don't mind." Jinx brought up.
"Sure, what's up?" See-more questioned.
"I'm sorry See-more. I'm really sorry." Jinx said heartily.
"Jinx,-I"
"No, See-more. I never got a chance to tell you I'm sorry for what happened. I was selfish for what I did. I was vulnerable and heartbroken from what Leo did. I tried using you to mend my pain and it wasn't right. You loved me and I lead you on. I shouldn't have done that. Someone broke my heart and I turned around and did the same thing. It wasn't fair to you and I'm sorry." Jinx explained.
When I said that. He didn't reply. I didn't know if he was mad or sad. I looked up to observe his expression. His expression was neither mad, sad, or anything. To my surprise, he was calm.
"Jinx, I forgive you." See-more simply replied.
"What? But I ignored talking about it with you for almost a year now. You were waiting for an answer. How could you forgive so quickly?" She dumbfoundedly answered.
"I know, I kind of figured it out later you weren't in the right state of mind after Leo. I went with it because I cared about you and my feelings for you got in the way. I imagined wanting to be with you for so long. At that moment, I felt like my wish came true to call you mine for a day. Even though you might not feel the same way. I loved you so much." See-more genuinely replied.
My eyes widened at his response. I felt like absolute shit. I treated one of my closest friend and teammate that way. I didn't consider his feelings.
"I'm really sorry See-more… Which leads to the question. Do you still love me?" Jinx asked cautiously.
"Romantic wise? No. Friendship wise? Yes, I still love you as that. I'm not going to lie. It did take me awhile to get over you. But I do see you as my friend now." See-more sincerely answered
"Alright thank you for being honest with me." Jinx took a deep breath before continuing. "Do you want to us to start over as friends?"
"I would like that." See-more smiled. "And Jinx? Thank you for discussing it with me rather than continuing to ignoring me. I really appreciate it."
"No problem, it's something that needed to be done. I felt like I owe it to you, not only as a teammate, but a friend. I think it's really time for me to grow up and fix my mistakes." Jinx dawned.
"Good mindset, sometimes I wish Mammoth and Billy would think that way. Maybe even Gizmo. But I guess some people never really change." See-more retorted.
"Yeah…" I agreed.
I thought about Gizmo, Billy, Mammoth, and Kyd more further. Maybe See-more was right. No matter what topic I bring up to them. Whether if we were going to plan to steal or if I needed my team. They just brush it off. I guess nothing really ever occurred to them. They simply just do not care. I don't think anyone could live like that, but apparently the Fabulous Four could. It was sad to think about, but sometimes you can't save everybody. No matter how hard you try, there's some people that are way too lost to be saved or they simply do not want to be saved.
"You know, you should just go with him, Jinx." See-more suddenly spoke out.
I stopped dead in my tracks. I couldn't believe it. I never expected See-more to tell me to just go anywhere in matter of fact.. I thought he would tell me the opposite and try to get me to stay with him.
"What?" Jinx slowly narrowed her eyes towards See-more.
"You could still save yourself from this chaos of a crime life. You have Kid Flash, deep down Jinx I know you were never made for this life. Kid Flash thinks the same way. You can still get away. Go with him." See-more continued.
I stared at See-more absorbing what he said to me. I know I should go, but a part of me wonders if I do leave what will happen to everyone else. Especially See-more.
"If I do go See-more, what will happen to everyone else?" Jinx swallowed a big lump in her throat.
See-more paused for a moment and continued on."You don't need to worry about everyone else. I think you've done plenty of that for the past two years. It's time to think for yourself, Jinx."
"What will happen to you especially? You were my only true friend here." Jinx expressed with concern.
"I don't think I will stay with the team either. I'll be on my own and I can maintain myself trust me. Just know, we'll still be in touch." See-more reassuringly smiled.
I stepped towards See-more and gave him a long hug. Maybe this was start for the both of us as friends.
"Thanks See-more for being a friend to me no matter the case and I'm sorry for everything." Jinx genuinely apologize.
"Let bygones be bygones. I'm just glad we finally got it out of the way. I'll miss you Jinx." See-more replied.
With that See-more gave me one last smile before turning away, he left me with my thoughts.
"I'll miss you too, goodbye." I whispered.
I think that settles it. It's the ending to everything right? But not quite. It was only the beginning
