The Titans returned to the Tower.

"Friends!" proclaimed Starfire, "Raven and I have discovered a new friend! They call him Zero!"

Raven glanced her a pessimistic glance, "I wouldn't say he is a new friend… we just now met him…"

"But he helped us, did he not?"

"Yeah, but what does that say?" the empath asked, "He seemed so… distressed… so regretful to have ever seen us… hardly friend behavior."

Starfire looked down at the ground, feeling she had been too pretentious and that maybe the boy truly wasn't there to make friends. "But…"

"So, Tin Man," Beast Boy interrupted, taunting Cyborg, who was left behind from this distress call, due to a glitch in his battery pack, requiring a full diagnostic and recharge, "did the little baby fix his boo boo? You need a wittle kiss on your finger?" The changeling laughed.

"Oh I'll show you a boo boo!"

"Ahem!" Robin sounded, "Sorry to interrupt you two little love birds…"

"LOVE BIRDS!" Cyborg and BB cried out in disgust.

"… But I believe Starfire was talking…"

Starfire looked up and smiled "Yes, you remember the boy who helped us?"

"Well… yeah, of course" Robin raised a brow "Why?"

"What, so we made a new friend or what?" Cyborg asked, curiously, "Didja catch his name?"

"Zero…" Raven said, nonchalantly, "He claimed to be known as Zero. He wore a black hoody over a dark grey shirt. Semi-baggy jeans and a pair of dark brown Doc Martin boots… Just your average, everyday citizen if you ask me…"

"And he had hair just like Ravens!" Starfire cheerfully remarked "And deep blue eyes…."

Robin gave her a quizzical look.

"Wait, wait, wait, did you say… Zero?" Now Cyborg was REALLY curious.

"Why yes… his name was Zero…" Starfire gave Cy a worried look, "Does this name bother you, friend Cyborg? For I do not wish to-"

"No, no… don't worry about it Star…" Cyborg reassured her, "Its just that I once knew a kid back in high school, before my accident, that the other kids so casually referred to as Zero… he eventually just… disappeared… never to be heard from again…"

Raven slightly looked up from the book she was reading (She picked up while everyone was talking about Zero) once the word "runaway" was mentioned. She sighed and went back to her book 'just like any other kid in this city…"

Suddenly, criminal activity was reported.

"Beast Boy, you stay and watch over Cyborg!" Robin called out as they ran off.

The Cyborg and the Changeling sat a little bit further away from one another for tonight.

Meanwhile, back in the streets, Jinx and Zero were walking out of one of the many, many Mini-Marts of Jump City.

"Wow, who ever knew that small time crime could be so much fun!" Zero laughed, pulling out an assortment of stolen goods he "acquired" from the store. "A nice break from the high time if I do say so myself!"

"Hell yeah!" Jinx boasted proudly, pulling out a big wad of cash that she "acquired" from the store, "Look at all the loot we made! 20, 40, 160…". She gave her brother a big hug, "Doesn't it feel good great to be reunited with your big sis?"

"Only 5 hours bigger!" he pointed out, offering his sister a cigarette, of which she gladly took. He pulled one out for himself as well, placed into his lips, relishing the flavour, and lit it, lighting Jinx's soon afterwards.

"Enough of this mushy bullshit!" She took her little brother's hand "Lets paint this fucking town red!" And so they ran off.

The Titans were a little bit late, for a path of destruction awaited them.

"Oh my…" was all that Starfire could say, the destruction was great. Many cars lay on the pavement, utterly destroyed. The rage was evident as the blind destruction plagued this poor district. Surprisingly, nobody was hurt bad. Only one person was fatally wounded. Blood was running down his face, bones in his legs and arms were evidently broken. His ribs hurt.

"Damn…" Robin stared down at the battered and bruised body. The paramedics had just arrived, picking up the body. "What happened to you?"

"Kid… fucken kid… didn't…streets…car…cant…pay….shit…" the man went unconscious.

"This man has sustained serious injury!" a medic walked over to Robin "Reportedly, he was beaten down by an enraged pedestrian…"

"Obviously…" Raven looked on towards the destruction. She went on, helping the paramedics work on other, minorly injured people.

"Who could've done such a thing?" asked a worried Starfire.

"Well… it was actually mostly this mans fault" the medic said, pointing down at beaten man, "According to eye witnesses, he some guy with his car, stormed out cursing, and hit the guys body. He slapped him across the face and was about to just go back into his car and drive off…"

"A hit and run…" Robin acknowledged.

"Well… yeah, but it was more like the kid who was hit was the one who hit and ran…" the nurse sounded worried, "I don't understand how someone could just get up after such a hit and be able to cause this destruction and run off… Without being caught and before you guys arrived…"

"Well… not a normal person at that… so, he was just a kid?"

"Supposedly"

Robin looked at Raven and Starfire and nodded.

"What did he look like?" Raven asked

"According to witnesses, he was about 5 foot 7 and pretty lean. He had almost shoulder length, dark hair." The nurse answered "But that's all we know…"

Starfire looked on at Robin "Shall we seek him out and take him to authorities?"

"Good idea Starfire, but we can't… not at this time of night. We'll search tomorrow morning, in the light." Robin nodded "Besides… we don't have much of a description, and by tomorrow, surely, more information on this kid will be released…"

"Robin?" Raven looked at Robin, in the eyes "I'm going to find some information and search for any suspicious people. I'm sure I can find him…"

"…Are you sure Raven?"

"Positive…"

Well, well. Jeez, I wonder who went out and caused such destruction? Only time will tell, and until then, we shall never know. I don't even know who did it, and I wrote the story!

Anyways, please, review… and thanks for reading! I love you so much!
