A/N: Anyone who's read R+C knows I like XGent. If you haven't read R+C, do it. NAO. xo

So, here's a series of oneshots for the two. I'll update this anytime I get bored. Argent is Toni Moretti, and I'm still not sure about Red X. Those of you that saw the original posting of this fic know that I said 'Red XJason', but I realized that didn't fit in with the chronology of the comics...I think? So, I'd like to think that he's Jason Todd, but it seems unlikely. So, no alias.

It's not often I get this addicted to a girl. Sure, I flirt. I hit on that pretty alien girl once, even though that got Birdie all pissed off at me. Still, there's something entracing about moonlight dancing on silver skin, the faint red cast reflected in large brown eyes everytime she fights. She won't bow to my charms the way other girls will. Stubborn as she is, she refuses to ever admit to loving me, fighting against me as one of her status typically does. It's not often that you find a girl that can be locked in battle with you, then share one passionate kiss, and jump back into fighting. It's not often that I ever use the word 'love', but somehow it's applicable to a girl as unpredictable as Argent is.

It's not often that I'll let myself look at a villain. I don't need the lecture from Robin, or the look-at-what-Terra-did-to-Beast-Boy thing. I know it's not healthy, but there's something about him. I mean, how many villains don't want world dominance or money? How many can actually do good? I read the transcript from Robin and X's fight, in the files. Doesn't mean I don't know how. He's a villain. He's supposed to oppose where I stand. He steals, I stop him. I send him to jail, he breaks out. That cycle doesn't work in his world. He's too good for me to fight, but I do anyway. He hits on me, I hit him. The strangest part about our fights is that he nevers hits me. He just backs up, blocking my strikes or dodging my plasma. Once, I let him kiss me, and I've been desiring to again ever since. It's not often that anyone can do that to me.
