Starfire looked at the captive Sly Cooper as Raven and Cyborg hauled him to a holding cell in the second floor of the tower. She didn't want this to happen, he seemed like a good person overall, everyone has faults.

"Robin, is it necessary to keep him locked up here? He said he's done nothing wrong." She said, Robin looked at her, his face blank behind the mask.

"I'm sorry Star, but he's not giving us any answers of why he's here and dressed like a robber. I know he's some kind of thief, but I want to know why he's interested in Red X."

She sighed and looked down at her feet. She was also a bit curious about why he was after one of their foes. Leaving Robin in the living room, she followed Cyborg and Raven upstairs with their inmate.

Sly didn't try to struggle under the force of the two carrying him, he knew he would not get far. They got to a large 12/ 12 thick glass combined with steel box. Cyborg opened the door and Raven placed him in. This little trip was going worse every second. Watching them leave him, he slid down the back of the glass wall and sighed. Pulling his earpiece out he needed back up.

"Bently, come in Bently." sly called quietly as possible.

"Bently here, Sly what's happened. Is everything alright." the turtle asked in a nervous voice.

"Sadly bently it is NOT all right. I'm in a holding cell in...Titan's...Tower." He said recalling the name.

"TITAN'S TOWER! What the hell are you doing there? This isn't good, what can I do to help."

Sly looked around the room at all the corners of the room, searching for a wire or electronic device.

"I can't find that connects the door electronically, so I don't think shutting down the power is going to get me out of here very easily." He said, his mood growing increasingly tense.

"Yes, I tried to hack into the mainframe, the codes way more incrypted than any I've ever seen. Sorry Sly. You know Murry could-

"By the time you or Murry got here, it would be too late. I need to find another way out...and soon to, Sly out."

"SLY-" The voice of Bently died out as he put the earpiece away. fter two hours, he was greeted with a visitor.

Starfire walked up to the glass cage, looking at the raccoon before speaking.

"I am sorry that you are to be kept here. As you see Robin does not trust very easily." Sly looked up to her and smiled.

"Ha, yeah it seems as though he has quite alot of Carmeltia's character." He said staring down at the wall again.

Starfire tilted her head, "Who?"

Sly, "Oh that's just, a friend of mine."

"Please, Why are you seeking Red X, has he taken or done something to you?"

Sly looked at her again, "He got a hold of something I desperately need back before any harm comes to anyone. Believe me, I'm out to hurt no one." She looked down into his copper brown eyes,

"I believe you are not a bad person, but please tell me why you are here." Sly exhaled deeply, he knew the longer he held back what they wanted the less time he had if any at all.

"sigh Okay it's like this, your boy Robin had the right idea of me being a thief. Truth is, I'm from a long line of thieves, generations really. My family was always competed with by other bandits. One night, a group called the Fiendish Five stormed my family's house, led by a madman named Clockwork. They stole our family's book the Thievious Racoonus, my father hid me in the closet, I was only a little kid when this happened. I...watched my father die at the claws of Clockwork." Sly found a lump developing in his throat. "I was taken to an orphanage where I met my soon to be accomplices Bently and Murray. We soon got the book back, defeated the Fiendish five and tore apart the machine that clockwork was. To get to the point, my reason for being here, Clock work's body was stolen and moved here to Jump City. Anyone who goes to this trouble has the plan of bringing him back, do you see now?"

Starfire looked at him, her eyes glistened softly with tears, " This...Clockwork, he can be rebuilt?"

"With the right tools and things sadly yes." Sly leaned the back of his head against the glass, "Red X is no thief, he just has a high tech suit and seems to play with it. Thief I may be, but I am disciplined, I have honor, and morals. I've never stolen from anyone BUT criminals. Red X doesn't understand that if my enemy is rebuilt, his life is at stake too."

"Red X may have been payed off to do this." Starfire said, "he is greedy and would do about anything for money." She said, looking towards the door. Without hesistating, she opened it.

"What are you doing?" Sly asked confused.

"If Robin wants answers, he shall find them on the video survelliance camera in this room." Sly got up and walked over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you." He said, when she returned the hug, he was not prepared for the back breaker xtreme.

"It is my pleasure." She said, soon letting go as she noticed his face turning blue from lack of air.

Red X climbed down the ladder to his employer's office. It was a huge darkly lit room with many gears and cranks moving slowly, the one light that was on, shined down on a masked man in a stone chair in the middle of the room.

"Ah Red X, so do you have what I sent you for?" The man's voice sent chills through Red X's spine.

"I wasn't able to bring it here, but I have it stashed away in a hiding spot." Red X said, keeping his cool, the last thing you wanted was to let someone know you were afraid of them. The masked man stared at Red X with his sigle unblinking eye, creating even more uneasiness in Red X.

"Oh, and how am I to believe you actually have it. If you cannot prove to me, then that's going to put you in a tight place." the thief threw a sliver metallic claw down at the feet of his employer.

"There, that's your proof, now where's my pay?" He had an urge to leave, to get out of this place and be able to see the light of day again, to not be in here another second.

"Patience, you will get what you desreve when I obtain in full what I requested. Donot come back until you have every piece with you." Red X turned and left, "You know, you never told me YOUR name."

The man stared at him intensly before speaking, "Well, you may call me...Slade."
