Sighing, Jinx put her feet up on the table. Being one of the heroes had benefits. Being able to relax in her home rather then worry about being captured and arrested at any given time was nice. She wasn't particularly worried about any villains busting down her door. The only ones with a grudge against her would be the HIVE Five and she knew those idiots like the back of her hand. She'd kick their collective asses before sending them off to the clink.
Her moment of relaxation was interrupted by the doorbell. Grumbling, she opened the door, ready to A. fight back if attacked, or B. tell off whoever was interrupting her "me" time. And if it was her Baptist neighbors again, she was going to give them a reason to pray, dammit! She was getting tired of their attempts to exorcise the "demon" inside her. Instead of a person, however, she found a box on the doorstep. Next to it was a rose. Smirking, she knelt down and picked them up, carrying them in. "Wally, you dufus," she muttered despite the smirk on her face and the slightly dark pink glow to her cheeks. Putting the rose in with all the others Kid Flash gave her, Jinx sat down and began opening the box.
"Wonder what it is this time? Perfume? Ceramic unicorn?" she thought. She really didn't care what it was. As long as it wasn't stupid...like lacy panties. She still had to get him back for that. Instead, she saw a device of some kind inside the box. "Stupid...!" she hissed at herself for being taken in so easily before it went off. Rather then explode, like she had feared, the device simply seemed to release a blinding flash. When it cleared and her vision returned, she realized that it wasn't a bomb. No, it was something much more...irritating.
