Taboo
I would never understand why things were made Taboo—it only seemed to make us want them more.
Like stealing, for instance. People said it was wrong, bad, criminal. It was a taboo in society and against the law, but just because of that it made my fingers itch to snatch something. Just to feel the thrill of a job well done, to feel the jewel, or painting, or whatever in my hands, knowing I had won and knowing I had gotten it with my own two hands.
When the word school became a taboo in my home, I made it my goal to go to school. Longed to succeed and know it was by my hands alone. When I finally did go to school and heard the students boo at the villains—the thieves---and cheer on the hero's, it made me want to become a thief. A master thief whom people would look at and either love or hate.
And than I had heard about the Red X suit and I knew it had been made for me. It was one of the biggest taboos out there: a villain's suit made by a good guy, locked up and hidden form the world.
And I had wanted it.
So I took it.
I remembered thinking the kid—Robin--had been cute when I did so. He was amazingly adorable when he was angry. But even noting this, my attention had been solely focused on getting my suit.
It had only been afterwards that I had turned my full attention to the cutie who actually made my suit. Because, let's face it: the Red X suit and persona was made for me.
And than I had found my next target.
The boy wonder's heart. It was the biggest taboo out there: a villain and a hero, together? Well, discounting the Joker and Batman—they were just too obsessed with one another not to be hot for the other. My grin hidden behind my mask, I readied myself for my biggest heist ever.
The theft of Robin, the boy wonder's, heart.

My arrival was meet with the usual barrage off attacks and demands for my surrender. If I were to steal Robin's heart, I'd have to work up to it and what came first on my little 'to steal list' as a kiss from the sweet lips of an adorable boy-hero.
He was surprisingly easy to get away from the Titans, who were now fighting the numerous villains I had managed to get to help me (Billy Numerous, Jinx and her group and that one light dude whose name I don't remember).
As planned, I led him to an abandoned shack, waiting for him to enter the darkened room before I struck him from behind, managing to tear away his bo-staff and flashlight from his hands and get away without being caught. He had cursed me (without actually cursing) and I grinned, slipping my mask up enough to show my mouth and nose before moving forward slowly, thankful my suit had night-vision as I crept up on my 'victim'.
He didn't know what hit him. Or, better worded, he didn't know what kissed him.
His lips were not-so surprisingly soft and warm. Slightly sweet and tasted faintly cheese pizza. I should have guessed: the Teen Titans always seemed to be eating pizza.
Banishing these thoughts from my head, I pulled the frozen Robin closer and dipped my tongue into his slightly a gap lips, smirking when he finally snapped out of it enough to try and punch me. Immediately slipping my mask back down I moved away quickly as he started to hit around blindly, coming closer and closer to my being with each swing before I jumped backwards onto the catwalk above us.
"Thanks for the kiss, kid. See ya later!"
"Red X! Get back here and fight me!"
Blowing him a kiss I knew he couldn't see, I left my fuming crush and headed back to my home with a wide grin.
I could now cross taboo kiss with boy-hero of my list of things to steal, so that meant the date came next. Now all I had to do was figure out a way to trick him onto going on a date with me.
But, hey, I was a master in making the taboo come true.
Plus, the promise of stealing his virginity was always encouraging.
