Chapter 2.)

I am very awake once I hear that voice. I jump into a defensive stand, my hands glowing green ready to use my star bolts. Red X suddenly disappears while his taunting voice says "Now now cutie I don't want to fight you, I just want to talk."
"I do not wish to talk to you. You are a villain and need to turn yourself in." I say.
He appears at the edge of the roof, shaking his head.
"I'm not a bad guy, I simply steal to survive. I steal for the money. Now sweetheart relax I didn't come here to fight with you, I just wanted to talk." He replies.

I give him a confused look but comply. I sit back down on the roof realizing how tired I am. Red X sits by me and even though I feel very uncomfortable I do not let that on.
"What is it that you wish to talk about?" I question.
"You." He says with a very serious tone that I though only Robin had.
"I do not feel okay talking about myself with someone I do not know." I reply.
"How 'bout we do this I will ask one question and then you will ask one question and so on. That way we both have to share something about ourselves." He suggests.
"I do like this idea are there any rules for such a game?" I ask.
"Only one, you must answer the question that you are asked. Sound fair?" He replies.
"Yes, so who is to go first?"
"I will," Red X says. " Where are you from?" He asks.
I sigh and say " I am from a planet call Tamaran. It is a very happy planet, with lots of sunshine, and bright colored plants." I tell him.
"Now it is my turn." I state then start tapping my chin thinking of what I should ask. Then it finally comes to me.
"Why do you steal for a living if you could just get a normal job like most humans do?" My question seemed to have caught him off guard.
"I've tried many times to just have a normal job but I was never good at them and always got fired. So I got a job being a thief figuring that if I failed I would just go to jail and not have to worry about getting money to take care of myself." He tells me with a hint of sadness in his voice. All I can think it say is "Oh."
"We'll cutie it's my turn now." He says.

We spend the next hour asking questions back and forth. I learned that Red X's favorite color is green, that his favorite movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas, and that he lives in Jump City. It is Red X's turn again.
"So... What is the deal with you and bird boy? Are you guys together or what?" His question completely throws me off, and i blush,this is a very personal question and I do not want to answer but I have to for it is in the rules. I talk a deep breath before answering.
"There is nothing going on between Robin and I. We are just friends." I say.
"But you want to be more than friends. I can tell I see it in the way you look at him." He says.
I sigh, "Yes but Robin is very focused on his hero duties and does not have time to be in a relationship. So I am okay with just being friends." I say with a longing look on my face.
"You deserve better Starfire." He says with a serious tone of voice. I am so shocked that he used my real name instead of calling me names such as cutie and sweetheart that I forget to breath. He just laughs at me, and just as I am about to say something about it I hear someone calling my name from inside that tower. I look at Red X ready to tell him to run but he is already gone. Robin then comes through the door and walks to where i am and sits down next to me.

"I've been looking for you, I was wondering if you wanted to watch the sunrise with me, but it seems you already beat me to it." Robin says with a laugh.
I look out at the horizon and realize that it is morning. I stayed up all night talking to Red X, a villain whom I should not be speaking to.
"I woke up early and came out here so I did not want to wake anybody." I say with a smile. Robin and I watch the sunrise like we do most mornings but instead of focusing on the energy the sun gives me, I find myself thinking of the night I spent with Red X and hoping I can do it again.

Thanks for reading please review.
