Her Decision

Jinx picked up the rose for what seemed like the umpteenth time. She stroked its petals thoughtfully. "He left it for me," She thought, her eyes widening. She was alone, sitting in a bench in the park. It was late at night and chilly, but Jinx didn't care. She was scared and confused at first, wondering if she made the right decision on leaving the H.I.V.E Five, but seeing the rose had boosted her confidence. She thought back on the speedy hero, and she knew that she would never regret her decision. It just seemed… right. She smiled softly. She got up and started walking towards the H.I.V.E Five's headquarters. She just needed a few more things.

A few minutes later, she had gotten her backpack full of her things and ended up alone in the street. Her stomach turned as she realized she had nowhere to go. "Shoot. I never think things through, do I?" She sighed. It was almost enough to go back home. Home. Where was home? Not the H.I.V.E Five's place. Not The headquarters. Nowhere. "I didn't even bring money," Jinx realized. She turned back longingly to the H.I.V.E five's place but then stopped herself. "No," She thought firmly. "I've made my decision. It's time I stick with it," With her heart set, she started walking.

It wasn't long, however, until a certain red-headed speedster started following her.
