Chapter 7
September 5, 2007 Wally's Neighborhood 11:26 A.M
I was walking to Wally's place. I looked down at the piece of paper Wally had given me. He left me an address named 1695 Genica Way Drive. I proceeded to look up and eyeing every restaurant and building until one caught my eye. There it is, a large and cozy apartment complex building with a white, picket fence surrounding the entrance. It was about two weeks since Wally and I saw each other. We texted, but we haven't seen each other face to face. It was also about two weeks since See-more and I last talked. Reflecting with what happened. I was ready to talk to Wally. It made me think of the possible near future. Where I saw myself and the statement he popped earlier in our relationship.
*FLASHBACK*
December 2, 2006 Wally's Room 9:12 A.M
It was the first night I ever stayed over at his apartment. The H.I.V.E was up all night figuring out what places to rob. They wouldn't realize I would be gone so I decided to stake out somewhere else.
"Good morning beautiful." Wally rolled over and gave me a kiss on my forehead. He threw off his blanket revealing his abs and boxers.
"Morning you." My magenta eyes fluttered open only to meet sky, blue eyes.
"How'd you sleep?" He questioned.
"I slept great. One of the best nights of sleep I've had in awhile." I answered as I gave a morning stretch.
"I'll make breakfast. Does the special lady have any requests?" Wally sarcastically peered over.
"Hm, now that you asked. I want pancakes, but I also want waffles. I can't choose between blueberry or strawbe-"
"Okay, Pancakes with every type of berries coming up!" He gleefully shouted.
"Hey! That's not what I asked for!" I yelled.
"Love you too! It'll be the best thing you'll ever put your lips on. Trust me!" He echoes from the kitchen.
"Ugh, boys. You can't live with them and you surely can't live without them." I shook my head and turned over
*20 minutes later*
"Your breakfast is ready, milady." Wally excitedly retorted.
"This better be worth it for you to ignore my "request." I emphasized as I took a small bite. I slowly chewed his creation until I suddenly came at a full stop. Wow… This is not bad. Shit… I can't give him the satisfaction. He'll never let me live it down.
"Is that the face of enjoyment I see? Didn't I tell you I told you so?" Wally mockingly suggested.
"Shut up." I glared at him.
We both gave each other a silent stare and then started to burst out laughing. God, It always leads to that everytime. I'm not going to lie. I actually don't hate it. Wally then calmed down and gathered himself together. His facial expression became serious. He continued to speak.
"Hey Jinxy, can I talk to you about something? I was meaning to ask you something. I've had it on my mind for a while and I never got a chance to ask you" He inquired.
"Yeah, sure." I slowly nodded. Unsure at first where it was going.
"Remember the first night we met at the museum?" Wally suavely brought up.
"What about it?" I asked with anticipation wanting him to get to the point.
"I asked you right then and there if you would trust me to leave the criminal life and start over with me." He slowly built up.
"Yeah." I monotonously answered. I know where this was going.
"If I asked that now, would you be ready to do that?" He asked persistently.
"Start over? Wally just like I responded to you. Where would I go and what would I do." I strongly emphasized.
"You could come and live with me, I'll help you along the way." He genuinely offered.
"You want me to live with you? As roommates?" I caustically replied.
"Well yeah, we've been seeing each other for awhile. I want to take that next step." He answered honestly.
"You want me to move in? In case you haven't noticed I'm still the enemy." I bluntly spat out.
"I know, but that will all change. Once they see you on the good side trying to change. They won't see you as one anymore." Wally reasoned.
"Wally, I'm not too sure about that. I ambushed your friends more than I could count in a lifetime. They probably would love to see my head on a stick by now." I retorted.
"It never hurts to try. You just got to think positive. I'll help you. I believe they'll accept you and that you can do it. I won't stop until they do." He softly explained.
For some reason, I got angry and felt defensive. I didn't know why. I think what he said struck a chord in me. I knew he was right. I was just too stubborn to admit it. Instead, I expressed it in the worst way imaginable.
"Well stop then! How would you know they'll accept me? You've never been in my shoes to know every single damn thing I did. What gives you the right to tell me what's going to happen, when you're not even certain what they're going to say about me?"
"Jinx, I just want to help you. If you give me a chance to." He persuaded.
"Well, I don't need your help. I can handle it on my own." With that I turned around and walked away.
I felt so terrible talking like that to Wally. I didn't intend to, the last thing I saw was the hurt look on his face. I realized I was in the wrong this time, not him.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
"Jinx?" I snapped out of my thoughts as soon as my eyes reach Wally's.
"You finally came. You alright?" He curiously asked.
"Yeah, Wally.. I'm okay. Actually, can I talk to you in private?" I swiftly tried to gather my thoughts.
"Yeah, sure Jinx. Come in."
Wally stood back to let me in. I knew it was still an uncomfortable subject and I might not know what the hell I'm about to get myself into. But I need to address it to him and let him know. I know if I never change, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. It was now or never.
"I think I'm ready." I quickly spat out.
It grabbed Wally's attention and I continued, "I think I'm ready to start over and change. I'm sorry for speaking to you like that before and hurting you. I know it's not a valid reason, but it was because I wasn't too sure and I was scared to make that step with you. Now I'm positive I'm ready for it." I spoke with confidence.
The moment lingered between us. His facial expression didn't shift. He was in his thinking pose. I was getting worried. Did he change his mind about it? Did he finally realize that it wasn't a good idea anymore? Suddenly, he cut me off with a passionate kiss. He put his hand on my cheek and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. It lasted for a hot minute and we both pulled back still closely face to face.
"What was that for?" I softly asked him.
"That was for being brave and realizing your worth. I know it's still a touchy subject for you to bring up. I'm glad you're taking a step forward to make a change. It means a lot to me." He explained.
"To be honest Wally, I'm terrified. I know it's not in my usual character. Nothing really scares me, but I'm fucking terrified. I don't really know what's going to happen. You have so much to lose. I just don't want to be the reason why people exclude from everything. Shunning you out because of me. I'm bad luck and pure luck has never happened to me." I anxiously revealed.
"I don't care what they think." He quickly said.
"What?" I remarked.
"I don't care what they think about me. What only matters to me is you. I know you're scared of not knowing. But that's a part of the risk. Think about it this way, if you don't know the outcome and things end up well. You'll feel so much better about it. If you know what's going to happen beforehand. It doesn't strike up much appreciation versus not knowing. It may sound insane, but trust me it's good to have that in mind. I also believe that you can do something about it to make it a good outcome. Which is why Jinx, I'm doing everything I can to make sure the Titans see what I see about you." Wally indubitably responded.
"Wally. Thank you, I don't know what to say." I was speechless.
"You don't have to say anything. Just know your love and loyalty is enough for me." He squeezed my hand.
"Where do I start? With the whole hero scenario?" I built up the courage to ask.
*Wally's communicator rings*
Wally picks up his communicator. Robin's face shows up.
"Calling all Titans. The Brotherhood of Evil has been listening. I'm breaking off all further communication. Take care of yourselves. You know what to do." With that the communicator went into static mode and exploded apart.
"To answer your question, you heard Robin, duty calls." Wally suggested while holding out his hand. "You in?"
"Definitely." I took his hand and we zoomed off. This was going to be some fresh start.
