It started raining while they slept; cool, moist air crept in through open windows and curled around them invitingly. They're both awake but they don't move, comfortable in their entwined limbs and combined warmth. The carpet just under the open windows is getting wet, but they don't rise to close them.
He knows that mornings like this remind her of home, of the storms that last for months in the plains of India where she spent the first years of her life. He thinks one day he'd like to take her back, just to see the look on her face.

The difference between those who wear masks and those who don't isn't as simple as the pieces of cloth that cover their faces. Sometimes it's not the physical mask that hides the real person, but the civilian persona they act out day-to-day that is the thing they hide behind.
She never had to face this dilemma, she's always been Jinx. Every time Kid Flash takes off his mask and leaves her, though, she feels doubt creep in. Is he real when he's with her, or has she become a part of his elaborate mask? Something else that he hides behind?

“Turning over a new leaf, huh?”
It's not the first time Jinx has been alone with Wally's aunt Iris, though instead of awkward silence it appears they're going to have a meaningful conversation. Jinx can barely suppress her grimace. “I'm trying to.”
“Don't do it for him.”
Jinx startles and turns to the older woman. “What do you mean?”
“The only way it'll last is if you do this for yourself. I know you like him, and he likes you, but you're children. You don't know what the future holds. So do this for yourself.”

He studies the board before making his move, moving the pawn cautiously. She immediately reaches out and seizes it using a knight, and he ignores the harsh grating sound of the chains with her every movement.
“I should've seen that coming,” he admits as he sets about studying the board again.
“You were never very good at looking ahead of the game, Wally,” she replies. She places her shackled hands on the table pointedly, turning her wrists just enough to make the metal scrape the table between them. “You didn't see this coming.”
“Love is blind.”

He used to visit her, once a week, no matter where she was in the world. Sometimes he'd sit and they'd talk, never about their work, keeping it light and personal even when the weight of what was between them felt like the world falling down. Sometimes it'd be only a few seconds, a flower left in plain sight where she'd find it.
Then one week he didn't come and she knew.
She visits him as often as she can, placing a single rose on the cold stone; she does her best to ignore the flowers left by his wife.
