Summary:
Dick and Kory are on their way to meet Zoya's ex for help.
Kory's thoughts kept trailing back to the name, Jinx. She broke the silence.
"So," Kory began, "how exactly do you know this Jinx?"
Dick's shoulders stiffened, and he hesitated before answering, his gaze avoiding hers.
"Zoya," he finally muttered, voice low.
Kory blinked. "Zoya?"
"Yeah," Dick replied. His voice seemed tight, almost burdened with an unspoken weight.
She took a moment to process this. "And how did Zoya know Jinx?"
Dick fell silent, his jaw clenched, and his eyes held a distance she rarely saw. There was no sarcasm or attempt to soften the blow this time. Just a stark, unflinching silence.
Kory's heart dropped. The implications hit her all at once, clear as day. "Are you serious?"
Dick's expression stayed unreadable, but he didn't answer. His silence spoke louder than any words could have.
Kory laughed, but there was no humor in it. "So she's... and they used to...?"
"I didn't say this was gonna be an easy visit," he muttered, exhaling a sigh that seemed to hold years of history.
"Are there any other of Zoya's exes I should know about?" she asked, her voice barely masking her incredulity.
Dick hesitated, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly before he responded. "You know Poison Ivy?"
Kory's eyes widened, the revelation hitting her like a freight train. She wasn't sure whether to be impressed, horrified, or something in between.
Dick shrugged, his eyes finally meeting hers with the tiniest flicker of understanding.
"That's all I can say."
