(AN:) Avandra the mary-sue slayer, here is the Blackfire chapter you requested a while back and I forgot to do! I'm so sorry and I hope you like it so much that you forgive me ^^"
Also, this isn't just Blackfire, it's BlackX...I hope you don't mind.

"Well, well, well."
Red X and Blackfire turned around, seeing the five heroes of Jump City standing behind them.
"Hey guys," Red X waved to the five.
"Red X, I understand the truce we both have, but do you know that woman standing next to you?" Robin asked, pointing to the older sister of Starfire.
"Yeah, this is my friend, Blackfire," Red X introduced, thinking they haven't met before. Boy was he wrong.
"Red X that is a criminal!" Starfire yelled, her eyes glowing lime. "She must be arrested at once!"
"What?" Red X yelled. "Have you guys gone mad?" He turned his head to face her. "Can you believe them?"
However, Blackfire was looking down. "Blackfire?" Red X called. She turned around, not wanting to make eye contact. "Don't tell me they're telling the truth."
"If I say that, then I'd break a promise," Blackfire whispered, having Red X take a step back from her.
"A-A villain? My best friend; someone who's been kind since we were five a villain?" Red X said to himself.
Where have all the good men gone
and where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
to fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
"No," Red X whispered, shaking his head, "No! You're wrong!" He turned around, taking out the pair of X's and throwing it at the Titans.
"X! What are you doing?" Cyborg yelled.
Red X didn't stay to answer that question. He took Blackfire's hand and ran down the street as the Teen Titans stood there, trying to free their arms from their bodies.
"Why did you do that?" Blackfire asked; taking the lead and flying up to the sky. "Now they'll come after you!"
"I'm not talking to you right now," Red X said. He was crossing his arms as Blackfire had a grip underneath his arms. "I can't believe you never told me about your past on Earth. After everything I told you!"
"There was a reason why! I knew you wouldn't talk to me."
"Oh yeah, like I'm talking to you right now?"
"You are talking to me!"
"Damn it, Komand'r, you hid the biggest secret from me! How long did you think it was going to last?"
"Longer than this honesty."
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
The two landed in a dark alley where Blackfire was sure the Teen Titans would have trouble finding them once they break free from Red X's attack.
"I can't believe you would even think about hiding something like this to me!" Red X started yelling again, waving a finger at Blackfire. "After everything we've been through!"
"You're starting to sound like we're married, Jason," Blackfire said.
"I can't even imagine what things would be like if we're married!"
Blackfire's hands were surrounded with her purple glow. "Want me to try and see what it's like without you?"
"Do it; I dare you, Komand'r Anders!"
Somewhere after midnight
in my wildest fantasy
somewhere just beyond my reach
there's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
it's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
Blackfire was about to do so, but she soon calmed down, and her starbolts disappeared.
"I knew it," Red X whispered. "You still love me even after we talked about it." He then raised his voice. "The Blackfire I knew would have blasted me in three seconds!"
Blackfire screamed before throwing her hands up again, this time the starbolts shot out and hit Red X on his chest area.
She then stopped, running towards Red X and swung her leg over, hitting him beneath his head, and throwing him back to the crates behind. Red X didn't get up; he just stayed down, looking up at the sky and not Blackfire who might be breathing hard from the fast attack she just did.
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
out where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear that there's someone somewhere
watching me
The night became darker, and the clouds filled with water finally let loose, bringing rain into Jump city. The citizens on the streets rain to find some cover; Blackfire and Red X were the only ones who were still standing outside like nothing was going on. Blackfire fell on her knees, having her arms hold her up.
Red X finally lifted himself out of the broken crates, dusting himself off before slowly walking over to Blackfire, kneeling down in front of her as he held onto one shoulder.
"You ok, Babe?" Red X asked.
Blackfire looked up at him and smacked the mask of his face, having it slide across the floor next to them. His blue eyes met with her purple ones and they stared at each other for a moment.
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
and the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
Like the fire in my blood
"Look at me, Jason," Blackfire whispered, "Look at me with your own two eyes." Her voice started to shake, and Red X didn't like hearing her like that. "I've been a villain for years but I can't even hurt you for more than five seconds."
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
and he's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
Red X then did something no one would have thought to do with someone like her; he kissed her. It wasn't a short quick one, but long enough for her to stop complaining.
Red X pulled away still looking at her lips as Blackfire looked at his. Before Red X was able to say something, Blackfire pulled him back in for another kiss by placing a hand behind his neck.
Oh I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
"I need a hero," Blackfire whispered, being inches away from his face.
"Have no fear, I'm here," Red X joked a little, hearing Blackfire's sweet giggle.
