The heavy door slid shut with a gush of air that sent a knot to Wally's throat.

He whined and placed his palms on the glass window. "C'mon! I feel fine! I doubt I'm contaminated, I barely came into contact with the chemicals!"

"They still touched you, KF." Robin sighed while entering digits into the hologram computer and pressing a multitude of buttons.

A robotic female voice came over the small room's intercom, "Processing".

A shiver went down Wally's spine as a green holographic scanner explored his body. To his dismay, the light turned red.

"I'm sorry, Kid." Robin frowned, "But we don't know enough about those chemicals to let you run free-"

"Nice pun," Wally interrupted sarcastically, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Robin let out an amused scoff before changing to his usual leadership tone, "We can't risk you contaminating the rest of the team and we still don't know how, or if, your powers will be affected. It's for your's and the team's own good."

Reluctantly, Robin hit a large button on the wall. With a roaring click, the door locked into place. Wally groaned and slid down the door, already feeling fidgety and claustrophobic.

"I'll be back in a few to check on you, but you can't be released for another 48 hours." Robin turned and began walking away, but paused at the door. He looked over his shoulder, "Keep calm, Kid, and you'll be fine."

Once her heard the door swish open and Robin's footsteps exit, Wally let out a frustrated groan that echoed through his small room. He was already tapping his hands on his lap with immense speed. After an hour, he was doing laps around the 8x8 containment room.

Talking nonsense to himself, he didn't hear the front room's door open or the confident strides approach him.

Jinx cleared her throat.

Abruptly, Wally came to a halt, his heart racing. His hectic brain processed the woman in front of him and he zipped to the glass with an eager yell, "Jinxie!"

A small smile crossed her lips as she tilted her head to the side, her arms crossed in front of her chest, "I leave for a day and you manage to get yourself in a safety jail?"

"Just 47 hours to go!"

Jinx looked the speedster up and down. He was vibrating, her poor baby. With a smirk, she purred, "Be right back, dumbass."

Wally slid to the ground once again. The brief thought of escape flashed his mind, but Robin was trusting him to stay put. There was no way in hell he could survive in here without his powers and his best friend knew that. But that doesn't mean he won't put a restriction collar on Wally if he has to.

Minutes later, Jinx returned to see her boyfriend laying on the floor with his hands gripping the front of his head. She dropped a pillow and several blankets onto the floor. Clearing her throat, she laid a few out on the cold concrete and clutched the pillow in her lap as she sat down.

Wally turned his head slowly then was suddenly sitting criss-cross in front of the window with a huge grin on his face, "You're staying with me?"

A sarcastic comment crossed her mind, but Jinx merely swung her backpack off of her shoulder and pulled out a multitude of games. "You have a bed in there so you're going to owe me since I'm the one on the floor for two nights."

"Anything you want, Lucky!"

Jinx smirked and slowly unraveled a board, "Clue, Sorry, Uno, and then we're asking the rest of the team to play Cards Against Humanity with us. I'll be your hands." She paused, her eyes flickering to his, "Oh, and I get to say what we do for the next two nights after you're free."

"Done and done!" Wally beamed with a slight rocking motion to his movements. "I love you so much! Set me up for yellow!"

A genuine smile found its way onto Jinx's lips as she set up the Clue board. "I love you too, doofus."
