Title: X'S AND O'S
CHAPTER 5
Ria had left a few minutes ago. I lay on the bed (no shirt, mind you), and thinking about the amazing time I had just spent with Ria. Suddenly, a message popped up on the desktop of my lab-top computer. I sat up and reluctantly turned to face the screen. Next to a yellow exclamation mark read: YOU'VE GOT MAIL! I clicked on the open button in the corner of the pop-up. The mail message came up. After reading the first word, I knew it was from that Slade guy. Seriously, who does this guy think he is! E-mailing me at home at the worst of times!
Since you have no idea how Slade came into the picture… I will have to give you the low-down. (This is spontaneous inspiration, work with me here people! I thought, wouldn't it be weird if Red X started working with Slade? Work with me here!) To make a long story short, the first time Red X stole the Chi Stone, he wasn't working for Slade. Since he fell for Ria, Slade came in contact with X and now X works for Slade. (I don't exactly know how, but he does!) I'll develop the plot later and you'll see what I mean. But anyway, Slade made X have Ria steal the Chi Stone for Slade's own purposes…I don't know what they are yet…Back to the Story!
The message read: Good work X… Deliver the goods to me at Midnight…and we will arrange your payment.
It was short, as all of his mail had been. It wasn't even signed, go figure. I smiled slightly. I can't believe this is going to work!

This is what Ria heard through the automatic door to the Titan's common room (it was closed):
"Truth, Ria is the 'in love' with Red X. But that does not mean that she is evil or not our friend." –Starfire's voice.
"How can she be our friend if she has betrayed us. Like Terra." –Raven's voice.
"Don't you dare compare her to Terra, Rae!" –Beastboy's voice.
"How could she do this to us. We trusted her." –Cyborg's voice.
"We all did. If she walks into this room, we all know what we have to do." –Robin's voice.
Ria took a deep breath and tapped the button by the door. It slid open. Three pairs of eyes (Robin, Raven, and Cyborg) stared malevolently at Ria. The other two pairs, Starfire and Beastboy, did not look at Ria at all.
"If you have something to say to me, you should say it to my face. Instead of talking in muffled voices behind a door." –Ria indicated that she had been listening to the entire conversation. None of the Titans knew what to say to this. (Either that, or I don't know what to have them say!) "I know what you want to do. But I will do it for you. I quit." And Ria walked back out the door.
"Ria, wait!" –Beastboy.
"Let her go, Beastboy." –Robin.
"Its not her fault—
"Of course its her fault." –Raven. Beastboy ran after Ria.
