Cyborg looked at Red X sitting right there in his car in shock and terror.

"You….. what the….. Red X….. what are you….."

"Relax" Red X said. "I'm not gonna bite you. Just drive."

Cyborg was completely confused and shocked and surprised. He wasn't sure what to do at the moment with some criminal from out of nowhere sitting in his car. He started to drive on down the road.

"Alright!" Cyborg said. "What the heck is going on? What are doing in my car?" He stopped and realized something. "Wait! Was that you who flattened my tire just know?"

"Bingo!" Red X responded.

"Alright! What the heck do…" Cyborg went on.

"Will you just chill out?" Red X interrupted. "I just wanna talk." He said. "You might be able to help me out with something."

"Uhhh….. what do you mean?" he asked.

X looked out the window. "Just tonight I was attacked by some group of knock-off thugs. I was doing the usual getting more xynothium for my suit and they showed up. One with a bow-and-arrow, one that looked like an over-sized wasp, one that could move water, and two Mexican circus twins that look like batteries!"

"What a minute" Cyborg said. "The Titans East?"

"I guess so?" X said.

"And your wondering why they would attack you I'm guessing? Hmmm geee I dunno; maybe cause you're a WACKO CRIMINAL AND A THEIF?" he shouted. "And these guys are the heros like us out to bring you guys down?"

"They're not the good guys!" Red X told him.

"Huh?" Cyborg responded.

"After they thought they beat me they walked out of the place carrying the loads of xynothium with them; them and a bunch of robots. They're really a bunch of criminals themselves. With some crazy psychotic leader apparently. I think you know him pretty well."

"What are you talking about?" Cyborg said.

"Does the name, Brother Blood say anything?" he suddenly asked.

Cyborg suddenly stopped in shock. "Brother Blood?" he asked slowly.

"After they told me his name I did a little research. I couldn't help but notice he looked just like you with all that weird tech built in to him. And how you and him had some problems in the past."

Cyborg began to drive again a little slower. Everything became clear to him now. "Yea! Me and that dude go way back." He began to tell him.

MEANWHILE...

It's another dark cold night at the T-Tower in Steel City.

Brother Blood was looking in the mirror inside the tower. "Errr." He began to say growling to himself. "This tech! Sometimes I wonder what I was thinking when I did this to myself! I had made him make me Cyborg just so I could finally brainwash that little imbecile Cyborg, and it was all for nothing! To think I could still be human if not for that little mistake."

Then his frown turned into a smile. "But then again, I've given myself unlimited power and strength with my new body! I almost feel greater than I did a human! And while I may not be able to brainwash Cyborg, that doesn't mean I can't take my revenge. If I can't brainwash him, I'll just destroy him, and his little friends!"

Then suddenly he heard a bunch of footsteps. He turned around and saw the Titans East come in with the xynothium.

"Students! Your back! And I see your mission was a success!" Blood said with a smile.

"It was nothing headmaster." A brainwashed Speedy told him.

"Yes!" Blood responded. "You've made Brother Blood very happy bringing me the perfect weaponry I need to finally destroy Cyborg and his friends; and then maybe even more than that!"

"Yep. We're proud to serve you" BumbleBee said to him. "And nothing was gonna stop us from getting it for you."

"Hmmm" Brother Blood said. "That reminds me, I wanted to ask; you said you encountered an intruder, and he was trying to steal the xynothium himself?"

"Oh yeah!" Aqualad said. "Some lame wannabe thief. He tried to steal some, but we took care of him. Some guy in a black costume and wore a mask; had some markings of a red "X" on it."

"Hmmm" he said. "That is rather amusing."

Then there was a gasp. Blood turned to look at Professor Chang, who was there with Blood the whole time. "Red x?" he asked in terror.

"Excuse me" Blood went up to him and asked. "You happen to know something about this person by any chance?"

Professor Chang looked at him. "Know 'something'?" he responded. "I know everything about him. Who he is, where he came from…"

"Really" Blood said in amazement. "Do tell!"

Back in Cyborg's car…

"So why would he want to have so much xynothium?" Red X asked as the conversation had continued.

"Don't know! My guess with someone as crazy as him he wants to try and blow up the entire city or something. There's a lot he'd probably wanna do with that much xynothium with him."

Red X shook his head and sighed in amusement. "Don't those morons have any thing to do other than try to destroy the world? Guess not!"

"Um yea." Cyborg said.

"And if you were Brother Blood, where would you hang out at?" he asked.

"If he's brainwashing the Titans East he's probably at their tower out east trying to make into some school again!" he said.

Red X had everything he needed to know. "Excellent!" he said. "Well if you don't mind, I'm gonna go for a little road trip!"

Red X went for the door and was about to jump out of the car. But it was locked! "Oh no you don't!" Cyborg suddenly said! "You're not going anywhere! You're still a criminal! You didn't really think I was gonna drop you off and let you go did you?"

Cyborg smiled.

(sigh)

Then Red X suddenly hit the roof with his hand, creating a giant hole in the shape of an "X" and jumped out. "Hey!" Cyborg yelled. Red X landed on the street as Cyborg swerved his car back around facing X. He punched the gas as he went after him standing in the road, but X hit the ground and made a wide X-shaped hole in it and Cyborg's car fell in it and crashed. X looked down. "Thanks for the lift!" he said.

Red X ran off and found a motorcycle! He hoped on it and used one of his gadgets to start the ignition. He roared the engine on it and speeded off!

Cyborg climbed out of the hole in the road from his wrecked car and saw he had gotten away. He lifted up his arm. "Yo! Cyborg calling Robin!"

Then Robin answered the communicator. "Cyborg? Where are you?" Robin asked. "Something just came up!" he responded.

Red X is seen racing and zooming down the roads and the freeways on his kick-ass motorcycle! He dashes past several other cars as he speeds on down east. He looks on down the road as he's on his mission to hunt down and take down these guys and finish what he started.

He makes it to Steel City. He speeds on down several of the roads past the other cars. He knew where he was going.

The he finally reached the hills near the shore. He speeded toward the edge of the hill where the Titans East tower was at the bottom. He stood up. He reached the edge. He turned the handles to make the bike crash, and leaped out into the air!

He flew on down as he was about to hit the roof of the tower below him. Then he held out his hand and made a giant X-shaped hole in the ceiling and flew in as the hole closed it self. He came down and swiftly fell into the pool in the opening living room without making so much of a splash.

It was silent for a moment. The water was still for a few seconds. The Red X emerged from the surface. He got out. "Nothing like indoor swimming pools." He said to himself.

He looked around. He didn't see anyone in the room. "Hhmph! Nice place they got here!" he said as he looked around. "I wonder if they ever throw any parties here!"

"Well wouldn't you like to know" a voice yelled out. Red X looked out in front of him in the darkness of the room as he saw a familiar face. Professor Chang!

"YOU!" Red X yelled. "What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you that! But it sure is good to see you again!" Chang said with a sadistic voice.

And suddenly some big machine came out of the ground behind Professor Chang. He climbed into the giant armored vehicle about 15 ft. tall with arms and legs that could be controlled by Chang's own movements. Then a bunch of his men armed with the laser beams and glue guns appeared all around X.

"ATTACK!" Chang yelled out.

Professor Chang and his men all leaped out to take down Red X!
