Chapter 2: Just a little chat

Robin stood rigid from shock. Sweat poured down his face as he stared at the villain who was a few feet in front of him. Robin definitely knew it was him. Hell, he created this character. The black clothing with the red X across it. The tattered cape that was attach to the back. The mask that had a white skull. He knew every detail of the costume. He even knew a lot about the guy who stole the costume. His calm personality, the cockiness of knowing he could beat any challenge, the way his voice spoke with such ambition. And here he was, leaning against a corner, acting as though he didn't have a care in the world. But, what made it so strange was that there were two suits, one Red was wearing and the other in the vault. The other fact was that he was wearing the utility belt that held all of the gadgets. But, the belt was in the vault.

Robin reached for his staff, but X said," Come on, Rob. Is that any way to treat a friend?" "No," Robin said," this is how we treat a thief. You can give up now and I wouldn't have to hurt you." "Rob, Rob, Rob," X said," I just want a little talk." Robin then stopped, putting the staff back and crossing his arms in front of his chest. "That really isn't you're attitude." He said. 'If I can play hero, I can at least play comrade." "Since when are you my friend?" Robin asked. "Just now." X said, followed with a laugh. The laugh sent a chill down Robin's spine. He just hated that laugh.

"What have you been up to for two years?" Robin asked," I expected you to just try and get the belt. Probably just feeding your selfish needs?" "No. I just been hanging around." he said with a snicker. "That just brings me to this point. Why are there two suits and belts?" Robin asked. X then began to start to walk around Robin, saying," Come on. I just wanted to be far. While the look just goes with me, it goes much better with you. Brings your personality together." X sarcastically remarked. "Is this some kind of joke?" Robin asked. "Not a joke," X said, now standing in front of him, the mask's dead eyes looking right into his face," I just want you to get back on your feet. You remember the old days, right? Stealing. Fighting the good guys. You loved being evil. You love the adrenaline rush. The feeling of stealing. Come on, just put on the suit and belt and get back to the old days."

"That's it," Robin said as he made his way to the door," let's see how you can handle all of us." "Better not send Star," X said," don't want her to get hurt." Robin then sharply turned and, in a tone of incredible anger, said," Keep her out of this." "Oh, I guess you do have a weakness." X said with a happy tone of voice. "Just don't talk about her." Robin said. "Let's talk about her. How about we start with..." "I said shut up!" Robin cut in, punching the wall. "I not trying to be offensive about her," X began," I am just saying." "Saying what?" Robin asked. "That, she may come under some circumstances.." Robin then grabbed him by his collar and said," If you so much as lay one hand in her, you'll be beginning me to end your life after I'm through with you."

X moved the hand away and said," I mean. Some people may be trouble for her." "Like who?"
Robin asked. "Like, Aqualad." X said. "Right. And then you'll tell me that BB's has a nuclear warhead." Robin said in an annoyed tone. "You know how she looks at him with those eyes of love every time he comes to talk or during assignments where you work together." "That's just a crush, you know, like girls get when they see an actor. It doesn't mean anything." "What if it is?" he asked," What if he's planning it right now? Ready to make her his own. And then...," he then made the motion of a candle being blown out," bye bye Star." Robin was then turned towards the suit as X said," I know I sound odd. But, we don't want her to be hurt. You want to protect her. But, there's just one thing keeping you from doing that." With that, he slowly moved into the shadows as Robin continued to stare at the costume that was in front of him.
