TEEN TITANS DIMENSION
GOTHAM CITY
UNGROUND CLUB
"Hey did you get the news that Boy Wonder is gone for good."
"Yeah! Batman has a new birdie now!"
A lone dark figure, wearing nothing but black armored kevlar suit and a brown leather jacket with a red helmet on his head, sat far but not too far to eavesdrop listened to all the gossip going around the underground society. He grips his gloved hands into tight fists. All he hears his the death of Robin, the Boy Wonder, the First Robin. Robin no... Dick can't be dead... He can't... I know you are alive somewhere... I will find you, I won't stop until I find your body. Wither dead or alive.
He leaves the place and rides his motorcycle heading toward Jump City. See Old Man... Villains don't deserve to live... If you just let go of your stupid morals... Dick wouldn't have died.
JUMP CITY
UNKNOWN HIDEOUT
He enters into his hideout and changes into a different suit. He now wears a black armored suit with a red x on his chest and his mask a skull with a red x. He left the the hideout. I need information about Dick... Who more is a better choice than the team he lead himself.
MILITARY LAB FACILITY
He brakes into a lab facility tripping the alarms, alerting the Titans. He continues to roam around and coincidently there was a xenthonium locked up in a guarded container. He could use it as an excuse to brake in and get information from the Titans about his missing older brother. They will be here any time now...
On cue the Titans bursts in. Cyborg as the new leader, he shouts. "Take down Red X! Titans, Go!" On the order that heroes sprang into action and the thief as well.
Beast Boy turned into a cheetah and lunged toward the thief. The thief ducks and binds the green feline into a red almost unbreakable bindings. Green blasts and crates were shot toward the thief. The green blasts were shot by Starfire hovering above and crates were from Raven floating near the crates using her black magic. Next blue laser blasts were shot at the dodging unharmed thief.
Red X was losing his patience, he wanted to know about Dick now. He had enough of their antics and changed his fighting into more brutal like how he fought as his Red Hood persona. His movements were wild like an angered wild animal. It was going in random direction, no one can anticipate what or where he will do or go.
Beast Boy got out of his bindings and changed into a gorilla. He charges toward the thief bringing his arms up to smash him. Red X skillfully jumps over the hands and sends a kick to Beast Boy's face knocking him out.
"Beast Boy!" Starfire shouts worried for her friends. Her anger raises that her friends was hurt. She swoops down to get revenge. Her eyes glows into green lights, then green lasers shot out. Red X jumps away from the laser, coincidently close to Raven.
Raven using the opportunity to strike. "Azmeroth Metrion Xinthos!" Black magic covers the crates and metal pillars, hovering in the air. She manipulate them, throw it toward the thief. Red X dodges and teleports around them. He takes out his red x staff and using it like a bat, he hits a crate back towards the darkly dressed female Titan.
"Raven!" Starefire flies in between the crate and her friend but the impact was strong enough to knock her out toward Raven. Resulting them to crash into a pill of crates and metal pillars.
"Starefire! Raven!" Cyborg calls out to his teammates. He was worried and scared. This wasn't the usual Red X they usually fought against. Red X has become more brutal and aggressive. He charged up his blaster. "What do you want, Red X?" He tries to reason with the thief. Red X loosens his stance, the knocked out Titans started to get up. They started to line up with Cyborg.
"Dude! What happened!" Beast Boy cries. "Dude! Were you always this brutal or you got up on the wrong side of the bed?!"
"I feel so much anger and confusion, the feeling of lost, from you." Raven comments with her monotone voice.
"Please, you were not this aggressive before." Starfire reasons. "What has changed to make you like this?" She asks.
Cyborg thought Robin would know what to do... Robin? Red X behavior changed after that night. Maybe... "It's Robin..."
Everyone turns to Cyborg in question. "You change because of Robin is gone..." That's when the other realized it was true what Cyborg was saying.
Red X questioned. "Where is he..."
"He's gone, Red X..." Cyborg answers, wondering the relationship between this thief and their leader.
"Dick will not leave me..." Red X grits his teeth, gripping his fist tight. Titans were surprised that the thief knowns Robin's real name. Red X continues. "How did he go..."
Cyborg answers. "The Brain built a machine that will make a wormhole that was big enough to engulf the whole city. The wormhole was activated and the only to stop it was from the inside."
Red X finishes. "Robin volunteer to be the scapegoat..." Cyborg didn't say anything because it was true even though it was worded harshly. "Where is Brain?"
Raven answers this time. "Brain escaped from prison and we don't know where he is hiding now..."
"Tch." Red X clicks his tongue. "So my target is Brain." He turns away from the team heroes and heads toward the exit.
"What is your relation towards Robin, Red X?" Starfire asks.
Red X stops then answers. "I'm no longer Red X, the next time you see me its Red Hood..." Continues on to the exit. "Robin is my big brother..." With that Red X teleports away, leaving the Titan with a shocking news.
JUMP CITY
A teen walks around the city, looking that the place his older brother patrolled and protected. Jason could see his older brother walking beside him. Welcome to Jump City Jay Bird! Hey! Look Jason! That's the appliance store where the Titans and I defeated Control Freak and that's the museum that Time Warp broke into! Jason Todd walked by the Pizzeria that his older brother, Dick Grayson, used to go with his friends, the Teen Titans. The teen enters and goes out to the balcony. He sat down at the table where Dick and his friends usually sat.
"What would you like dear..." The waitress asks.
"I'll have three pizza pies to go." He looks across the table, he could see Dick sitting right across him. Hey, Jason, What would like? I love the Pepperoni with Pineapple toppings! But we can something else you like! After we eat we could go watch movies! Ah, but we have to take out for Cyborg and Beast Boy, they will throw a fit if they find out I went here without them and brought nothing for them! "I'll have one All Veggie Supreme, one All Meaty Meat Pizza and one Pepperoni with Pineapple topping."
Jason left the Pizzeria with the paid pizza in his arms. He continues to walk around the street as his took slices of Pepperoni pizza with pineapple toppings. He was getting tired of carrying the box, using the Red X belt he teleport to the Titan Tower left all of the pizza with a red bright X's on it and rang the bell then teleported quickly before someone answers.
Once again back in the city, he then stumbles across a place that was a mix of a cafe and bar. He enters the place and finds it relaxing. The lights where dim lighted making a cozy affect to the place. He walks further inside then notices a familiar face, it was Raven. She was sitting at a table with a cup of herbal tea and reading a book but making few glances at the stage.
There was a stage with a band playing. There were people who was listening to them, noticed that after everyone song someone from the table will replace someone or the whole band and play another song. Jason sat down next to the darkly dressed heroine. Raven raises a brow but quickly ignores him. The song ends again.
"Does anyone else what to sing tonight?" A female vocalist asks looks around the room.
Raven gets up and comments. "Why don't you sing... It seems you have lots of pent up emotion inside you... Singing is a good outlet for you..." With that she left the place.
Take up the dark Titan's advice, Jason stood up and walks up to the stage. "I'll sing."
Jason takes stage. He whispers the band to play what song, he will sing. He looks back at the stage, one thing was on his mind. Sorry Dick but I can't keep my promise to you if you are not here... I'm not Red X anymore... I am Red Hood.
You know I don't give a damn about what's "right"
Or pleasing everyone around me
Cause I know this world that brought us life
Wasn't made to keep everyone Happy
The rules and laws that countries come up with
In front of me, they're all shit!
Cause there are people that I've gotta protect
And if you get in my way, you're dead!
You see I'm tired of trying to justify
Every decision that I make
If It's to save the people that I stand by
You better believe what I say
Stay in the lines, don't make a scene!
Heroes try to tell us what's right
But when push comes to shove,you will know what i mean
I'm ready to start a fight
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
So i can save you when the time comes
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Yeah...
Righteousness is a thing that i hate
Cause it doesn't do any good for anyone
And everyone thinks everything is OK
If they just obey
I don't want to think about what they see
When they look up and see evil me
You see, love isn't what I need
As long as I can set you free
Oh bum bum bum, watch out here I come
I said bum bum bum, you all better run
Oh bum bum bum, watch out here I come
So run!
Stay in the lines, don't make a scene
Heroes try to tell us what's right
But when push comes to shove,you will know what I mean
I'm ready to start a fight
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
So
I can save you when the time comes
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Yeah...
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
So I can save you when the time comes
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Feared and hated by everybody
I'm gonna be the Anti-hero
Yeah...
