Title: But Hell Pays the Price
Genre: Cartoon
Series: Teen Titans
Rating: PG-13
Characters: Jinx, Kid Flash
Drabble Prompt: #77-Life
Word Count: 183
( Drabble Table )
A/N: Long-awaited sequel to the series of drabbles ( Heaven Takes Its Toll ). I totally almost doubled the usual word-count, but this one demanded it. I shall be back to my iron-clad "100 word drabble" rule in the next one.
_____
She's not the same.
She doesn't look the same. She doesn't sound the same. She doesn't taste the same. She doesn't feel the same.
She is Jinx, though, that much Kid Flash can tell. It might be that indefinable spark in her non-pink eyes. It might be that streak of wicked humor that laces through most of her conversations. It might be that rolling feeling in his stomach that he's always gotten when in her presence.
She doesn't have any hair, except for the arching brown brows above her also-brown eyes. Her skin isn't glacially pale any longer, but rather a warm honey that is mimicked in those eyes. Instead of the dark gothic fare of clothing, she wore a variation of Indian garb, lots of sweeping cloth and bared skin.
They stare at each other across the large Titan living room, unwilling to see anyone else but each other.
He's the first to speak.
"Hey."
She smiles and it's the same smile. It's his Jinx's smile. "Hi."
Suddenly, this change doesn't seem so bad. Nothing ever seems so bad when they're together.
