All about Flinx

Run Kiss Fall Swim

Jinx laughed, hands wrapped around Kid Flash's neck. Not tight enough to hurt, but plenty tight enough to make sure she didn't fall off.

"Fast enough for you?" Kid Flash shouted at her.

"Why? Getting tired?"

"Hey, you try running over to Italy sometime with a girl on your back."

"You try doing a triple backflip off a fence."

"I counted, that was only double."

"It would have been triple if I hadn't landed on that guy."

"Yeah… thanks for the save, anyhow. Not that I needed help, of course."

"Naturally."

"But it's good to know that you're more than just a pretty face."

"Kid? Look at where my hands are in relation to your neck."

"That was a compliment, I swear! It came out wrong, but it was meant to be a compliment!"

"What was it meant to be?" Jinx asked, ignoring the blurring world and loving the feel of her crush.

"Well, I was trying to say that you're really awesome at fighting but you're also really pretty and…"

He never got to finish that sentence. Jinx spun her head around to face him and placed her lips against his.

For a second he was stunned. Then he swept her in front of him and held her close, stopping running. His hands wrapped around her waist as she pulled in deeply.

They stood still for about a split second before collapsing into the ocean.

Jinx was confused but didn't dwell on it. She let Kid Flash go, pushed away and began swimming towards the surface.

"What happened?" She shouted above the waves, trying to keep afloat.

"You kissed me!"

"I know that much! What happened after that?!"

"I stopped!" Kid Flash called back, going up over a wave.

"And…?!"

"Apparently I was running on water at the time!"

Jinx would have laughed if she wasn't already too busy treading water. Her heels were not made for this. "Can you get us out of here?"

"Sure. Just a minute!" Kid Flash called.

She could see him vibrating, and then a yellow blur shot out of the water.

The next thing she knew, a hand grabbed hers and pulled her along the water. She was water-skiing without skis. Or a boat. Or anything but the boy pulling her.

She yanked herself onto his back and held on tightly.

He was no longer quite so comfortable when they were both soaking, salty and muddy.

It took less than a minute before they were at a beach. Kid Flash stopped and Jinx rolled off him.

"Ouch." She said, grabbing a lock of pink hair. "I'm soaked."

"And that hurts?"

"It does when it's salt water and in the eyes."

"Oh. Okay."

There was silence for a moment.

"You kissed me."

"Yeah. I did."

"You kissed me." Kid Flash repeated.

"Yes."

"You kissed me."

"We've established that already, Kid."

"But… you kissed me."

"And you tried to drown me."

"That was not my fault!"

"Then whose fault was it?"

"I think we both take the blame for that."

"I don't."

"Look, Jinx. How about we just not do that again, okay?"

"No more kissing?"

"No, that was fun."

"It lasted for about a second."

"I'm the Fastest Boy Alive. A second's plenty."

"Maybe for you."

"So you wished it was longer?"

"I guess-mmmff!"

Kid Flash was suddenly in front of her, holding her in a deep kiss.

Jinx placed a hand around his back and pulled him in tighter.

For a few moments they kissed before breaking apart.

"That was fun." Jinx said with a sly grin.

"Mmmhmm."

"We'll have to do it again sometime soon."

"Yeah. Just not while running."

"No. That wasn't fun."

"Does right now count as 'sometime soon'?"

"Hmmm… I do believe it does, Kid Flash."

"Then can I kiss you again?"

"As long as you don't throw me back into the ocean."

"That still wasn't my fault, you know."

"You tossed me into the ocean after I kissed you."

"I am never ever going to live that down, am I?"

"No, you're not."

"Darn."

"Kid Flash?"

"Yes?"

"Are you going to kiss me or not?"

"If you so insist."
