I've had some time to think...(Open to YJLA)
One week after his resurrection, Jai West arrived at the YJLA HQ, looking for someone he could speak to. He hoped Jon was here; it would be easier for him to talk to Jon about this, or maybe even Corrina. He had to inform someone, though, so that they could start looking for a replacement if necessary.

He passed the meeting room, with meeting table reserved for the core members of the League. Jai walked into the room, looking down at everyone's familiar symbols carved into the table. He'd heard that the JSA have a table just like this at the Brownstone, but he'd never seen it.

Anyone walking by would find him there.

	Oh, crap. Michael wasn't expecting this. "Now or never, kid." "Uh, hey, Jai. Good to see you back, man." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, thanks." Jai says, trying to ignore the voice in his head once again. Wow, look at him. You tell Traya it's over and he's /already/ here sniffing around. "Traya's around, if you want to talk to her." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well that's cool, I guess. Not why I'm here."

"Good going. Don't stop now, Michael."

Michael shifted, the weight of the words he wished to say wallowing in his mind. He wanted to say something about what he was thinking about Traya. How it wasn't right, especially, now that he's back. that the guilt, as well as his feelings, were bugging him to the point of annoyance.

"So...uh...when are you coming back onto the roster. Could use a speedster."

In his mind, Ronnie hand his hand over his face.

"Smooth, kid. Real smooth."

	"I don't know. I've got a lot to deal with and something has to give. I also don't have an identity, so to speak." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Damn it, is Jai saying he won't be back in? Great. "Well, I'm sure you could get another one. I mean, there are plenty of synonyms with speed that are available. Velocity or maybe Tempo?" Michaels grasping now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Jai was trying not to be angry at Michael, but something inside him just isn't allowing him to let go what he saw. Yes, he was a zombie killing machine when he saw Traya in Michael's arms, when he saw that there was something more between the two of them than just friendship.

But in some part of Jai's mind, /those/ two people /together/ was one of the worst things he could imagine.

"Why don't we just get to the point, Michael? You have a thing for Traya and she has a thing for you. Don't treat me like I'm stupid and tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I /saw/ it." Jai says, trying to keep his anger in check.

"I don't like it, but...you're probably better for her anyway. You two are about the same age, you're both able to talk about things that she and I can't. So, if you want to be with her, that's between the two of you.

But I'm not going to stay here and watch it happen, okay? I don't want any drama. I just want to start putting what's left of my life back together." Jai tells her, shifting uncomfortably.

He's /totally/ going to go bone her after you leave, man. How many times do you think they did it after you died?

Ooh, better question: How many times do you think they did it while you were /alive/?

Was...was he accusing him of hooking up with Traya when he was dead? Did Jai just imply that Michael had betrayed his trust?

"For fucks sake, Jai, nothing, happened! She was broken up over you, Jai! All that time after and she still was! I was comforting her!"

The fire on Michael head flares.

"If you hadn't attacked us I bet you anything those magic eyes you had would have seen how much love she had for you! But no!"

Michael immediately turns, going out the entrance. Its not fast, but its determined. Michael had been accused by one of his friends that he had betrayed him, tried to hook up with his girl.

"Fuck this mess. I'm out of here. Hope you get your head on straight, Jai."

"Whoa, whoa, kid, don't run so hot! It's not good for the Matrix!"

You heard him! He accused me of getting together with Traya!

"But, don't you like the girl? As in have feelings for her?"

Michael didn't know how to answer that. He just kept walking.

"Do NOT lie to me, man! I /saw/ it." Jai says.

He'd seen everything. In fact, he couldn't /stop/ seeing it. He couldn't stop seeing what happened after that, either. He'd tricked Traya into letting her guard down and he'd tried to tear her heart out of her chest.

And if you're honest about it, Jai....you /enjoyed/ it. Every second. You enjoyed killing Din and you wanted to kill Iris so bad, you could taste it. Killing Traya the Mega-Slut would have been the icing on the cake, and Michael Can't-Keep-His-Pants zipped, too.

"Just...SHUT UP!" Jai screams, before blazing past Michael on the way to anywhere but here.
