_____
She cradled his face in her hands, ignoring the rough shake that possessed his limbs and brought him to his knees as he struggled to contain the energy racing through his system. He'd already banged around the Titans Tower for five minutes, unintentionally destroying things in his inability to slow down. He smiled at her through the trembling and Jinx smiled back because when he looked at her that way she couldn't help but respond in kind.
He pressed his face to her stomach, sighing as the energy finally released him, swearing quietly, “Never let me drink soda again.”

_____
Kid can't help but think that Robin is being deliberately meddlesome when he assigned Jinx the task of contacting the other Titans for help. The Boy Wonder knew that the two of them hadn't spoken since their break-up and that going down the tree she would eventually have to contact him.
“Kid Flash? Robin is calling for an alpha order. All Titans being asked to come home.”
She's trying to be impersonal in her speech, but Kid knows her well enough that he hears the hesitation in the way she said his name.
“I miss you...” She disconnects.

Title: Suppressed Desires

Characters: Jinx, Kid Flash
Rating: PG
Summary: This isn't the end he saw to their story.
Prompt: #56-Friends

_____
Monitor duty is infamous for being one of the worst details assigned in the Justice League, but it's something that can't be escaped. Keeping track of various heroes and their efforts to stop crime is tedious, more often monotony broken only by the conversation between the two shift partners.
Two years ago she'd have sat on his lap and they'd have made out the entire shift, save a few breaks for emergencies.
One year ago they couldn't even be in the same room without violence.
Now they sit in silence and pretend they're not remembering every scar, secret, and touch.

Title: What's In A Name

Characters: Jinx, Beast Boy
Rating: PG
Summary: She doesn't say his name.
Prompt: #90-He

_____
At first he uses it as a way to amuse himself in the uncomfortable times he spends around her during their duties. Beast Boy hadn't even noticed the phenomenon until Raven had said something, a small comment that brought the situation to light. He does his best to work it into conversation, to somehow provoke her into saying it inadvertently. He gradually progresses to more aggressive tactics, deliberately pushing her until she realizes what he's after, though she never gives in.
As usual, it takes him too long to figure out that she doesn't because it hurts to do so.

Title: In His Life
Genre: Cartoons
Series: Teen Titans
Characters: Jinx, Kid Flash
Rating: PG
Summary: He didn't think she'd stay in his life, but he thinks he's happy for it.
Prompt: #24-Wine
Word Count: 100
Drabble Table: HERE
_____
He can't pinpoint when they transitioned from “something more” to “just friends”, but ten years down the line she's sitting at his dining room table sharing a bottle of wine with his wife and they're shooing him back into the kitchen to finish the dishes. Every couple minutes their lilting laughs drift through the doorway and he's distracted from the banal chore, and he figures that if anyone would have told him he could have his cake and eat it too back then he'd have called them a liar. He doesn't regret the change, but sometimes he wonders.
