I pushed the smoke away to see the limo, Jerry, and Starfire gone…I lost them…
Starfire's Point of View-
I thought Jerry was a good person until his hand covered my mouth outside the building and as he threw a smoke bomb to separate Robin.
From the tight grasp of his hand to my mouth, breathing was terribly difficult and eventually empowered my consciousness. My eyes closed and before I blacked out, I called for Robin.
2 hours later…..
I woke up to spot….Red X! I stared in horror to realize that Jericho was the man behind the mask. The kind Jerry who we believed to be an honorary Titan…..
-"Jericho…..why are you doing this?" I demanded.
-"Haven't you realized anything?" asked Jerry or Red X.
After a few minutes of hesitation, he revealed something that was beyond all shock.
-"I'm Slade's bastard. I was born and was raised under his blows and learned to do nothing but for myself," replied Jerry. "But that didn't mean I didn't know how to be a good guy."
-"Jericho, why can you not always be a guy who is good?" I pleaded.
-"Because, good was never an option. I was born bad, was bad, and will always be bad. I serve my father and myself. You guys killed my father and you will pay. Robin should be here soon since I sent him a message. Let's see how he will save his cutie," Jerry said with an intimidating grin.
-"Jericho….your father tried to destroy the city and the world. We never killed him. He fell into lava by Trigon when the world was about to end. Jerry just because your father was a horrible influence doesn't mean you must become horrible also. We have all suffered from problems with our relatives and yet seal that pain by doing good. Please…." I begged.
Just then, the warehouse door was blown off and Robin with the others came to rescue me.
Robin's Point of View-
Nobody can stop me when I witness my girl being tied up and held captive by a jerk! I ran with full force and shot all my kicks at his face. Red X or Jericho immediately disappeared with his tech.
He reappeared behind me and tried to throw a punch from the back but fell over when I dodged. Cyborg tried to unravel the starbolt-proof cuffs off Starfire's hands as Raven threw boxes at him.
While he was fighting me, I jumped up as I gave Beastboy's cue to charge from the back in his rhino form. He charged and hit Red X before he could even turn around. Red X's mask fell off and Beastboy ran to check if he was ok, after all he did give him the Titans communicator.
Red X just smiled and gave BB a kick in the rhino ass. BB flew in the air and transformed to an eagle but was immediately tied up by one of Red X's X ropes. Raven recited a spell to take away Red X's belt and Starfire shot him with one starbolt. Red X collapsed to the floor tied up.
Starfire ran to me and hugged me. As she hugged me, my face turned tomato red. "Robin, I must tell you something," she said. "Jericho…..is….." and was cut off by Red X, "Slade's son."
Raven, Cyborg, BB, and I said in unison, "What?"
"Yea, that's right. Starlicious here helped me realize to stop trying to be a replica of Slade," he replied. "I want to play the good guy now."
"And you fought against us because…?" asked Raven. "I was having too much fun!" said Red X.
-"I hate to admit it, but I try too hard to be like Batman too…..I guess we're alike and let's do the right thing. But….Starfire….is MINE," I said. Starfire gave me a kiss on the cheek and before anybody in the warehouse knew it, we were performing a passionate kiss scene and from then on I never hid my feelings from anyone. Next time, I'm never going to send Starfire to a school with any guys.
