"I saw the explosion right here! This is the warehouse they must be in." Robin used his birdarang to try and pick the lock. Just then, Kanyae walked up behind them.

"What's up guys?"

"Where have YOU been?!" Cyborg said.

"Um, Out."

"Forget it, could you possibly get this open? We're trying not to make a commotion in case Thessa has him." Kanyae shrugged.

"Ask Melt-o over here." She nudged Ladida.

"It would take forever to melt a lock like that. But maybe I could..." She grabbed the base of the lock. and with one hard yank, it broke free of the door.

"WOW she's good." BB stood in awe.

"Indeed!" Starfire giggled. Robin waited, and heard nothing but silence. He slid the door open, and Red X stood right behind it.

"GET HIM!" Cyborg tried blasting him, but missed. Red X ran off in the other direction. Robin was close behind him though.

"Where's Thessa?" Ladida looked inside the building, observing the pile of rubble. "I hope she's..." Kanyae and Ladida started digging frantically.

Robin continued his pursuit on Red X. He wasn't far behind. Chasing is pointless... I know I can't run forever and neither can he... Robin threw a birdarang in Red X's direction. But he kicked it to the side with ease without even slowing down.

He got tired of games. He pulled his staff out and tripped the thief.

Red X flipped back up, and got into a fighting stance. One Robin had never seen before. Robin put his staff away.

Fighting in hand to hand combat, Robin and Red X were normally evenly matched. But Red X had a new technique. He could dodge almost every one of Robin's hits. Robin came at X with everything. Every birdarang, smoke bomb, and attack possible, each perfectly matched by a dodge or counter attack by Red X.

Wait…. Red X isn't using the belt. Robin thought to himself. Why?

Red X ran full speed at robin, grabbing his arm and flipping him over. Robin was pinned to the ground, facing up at Red X.

"Learn some new tricks, huh X?" Robin flipped his legs over, hitting his opponent right in the back of the head.

"Ow!" The voice... that wasn't his... Robin found his chance and knocked the supposed Red X over. He ripped the mask off. It was Thessa.

"Thessa?!"

"H-Hey! Uh... Nice suit huh?" Robin dropped the mask in disbelief.

"Why in the heck..."

"Look, I don't know okay? All I know is that it got weird in that warehouse. So I took his suit and posed as him!"

"That's doesn't make sense! Why? Why?!"

"Do you remember combat practice the other day? I overheard you talking to Cyborg. You were going easy on me, that's why I won. I just fought you without using any weapons, and you came at me with everything you have. I let you pin me down. I've been training my entire life for combat. I want us to fight as equals."

Robin went silent and looked down. "I didn't want to hurt you. If I had know you were in the suit…"

"You would have gone easy on me. I stole the suit to prove to you that I'm an equal. So this is your suit, huh? Not exactly the hero style." Thessa winked.

"Making the suit was a mistake. I had to gain a villains trust. And the only way to do that..." Thessa nodded.

"I see." It was quiet. "Well... I got it back now..." Thessa took the suit off and handed it to Robin. "Whoever Red X was, he can't use it any more."

"But... You unmasked him!" Thessa shook her head.

"Just barely. only saw his mouth. Then after that he gave me the suit, and left after he ripped the head piece off." Robin sighed.

"I wish I knew who he was..." Robin gripped the mask tighter. "I want to make him pay..." Thessa put her hand on his shoulder.

"For now, Lets go back to the team." Robin and Thessa walked back together.

Splinter always taught me that revenge is like wine... It seems like something you'd like, but it's really bitter after you try it... Maybe that's what I should tell him. Thessa saw the anger on Robin's face. She somewhat understood that anger. Later...
