Author's Note: Thanks again for all the reviews. Unfortunately I might not be making many updates to the story throughout the next few days because of finals but I'll try and update by Saturday.
As Robin sped down the streets of Jump City looking for any sign of Red X one thing remained a constant in his mind. No matter how he had to do it he would bring X down…permanently. Just as Robin had finished making his 3rd sweep of the city after 3 hours he got a glimpse of a shadowy figure leaping across the buildings behind him in his mirror. Robin tried to lose him because whoever it was Robin wasn't in the mood for dealing with him so he swerved around the nearest corner and sharply around the next corner but the figure was still trailing him so Robin took out his grappling hook and shot it at a door on a roof that the shadowy figure was currently occupying so he could see who exactly it was who he was dealing with. It took him only a split second to realize whom it was when he had landed on the rooftop.
"X! I figured you'd show your face again! Now how about telling me what the hell you were doing chasing me before I tear you apart limb from limb for hurting my friends." Robin growled out trying to hold back his homicidal urges for the moment. "I wanted you to come up here and have another brawl with me. The last one was so exhilarating that I just needed more. After all how could I possibly stay away from the handsome boy wonder?" Red X said patronizingly. Robin knew from the point that Red X finished talking that X was a girl and that he knew that he couldn't possibly take X down before unmasking him. "How about we stop talking and start fighting?" Robin said as he took a martial arts stance as always and waited for Red X to begin. "My pleasure" Red X said as she took a charge at Robin and side stepped a few inches from him and attempted to kick him in the side.
Robin grabbed X's leg and flipped him onto the grown and was about to pin him before he launched a few X-arangs at him so that X would have time to recover as Robin dodged the projectiles. X took this opportunity to flip back onto his feet and punched Robin in the gut before he had a chance to react. "You know you're pretty cute when you're getting your butt kicked" Red X said as Robin stumbled backwards and attempted to recover from the blow. Just as Robin recovered Red X was about to land a jump kick in his head as Robin dodged by leaping behind him and then as X landed and was about to turn Robin grabbed X in a choke hold and slammed her onto the ground. Red X was still a little dazed from the attack so Robin managed to slam her onto the ground and remover her mask. A few seconds after being unmasked X recovered and was startled when she saw that her mask was on the ground so she said "Not bad. We'll finish this later" and teleported off. From what Robin did manage to see he knew for sure that X was a girl who had blue eyes and had white hair. 'What girl has white hair? Oh well…anyways I managed to place a tracer or her so I should be able to triangulate her location from the tower so I should probably head back. This also gives me a chance to pay my friends another visit.' Robin thought to himself as he found and climbed down the fire escape and got on his R-Cycle and raced back to the tower to find out where she is before Slade could find the tracer.
Robin got home in record time and ran into the tower and activated the titan's mainframe and found that she was apparently at a building on the south side of town at the intersection of Kane and Haney. Just as he had finished finding the hideout of his nemesis he heard joyous shouts from Cyborg and began to race over to the medical wing realizing that this could only mean good news. As soon as he arrived at the medical wing much to his curiosity he found that his three friends were laying in the exact same positions and from the looks of it the exact same medical states, as they were the last time he checked in. "What's going on Cyborg? Why did you shout out?" Robin asked with a tone of bewilderment in his voice. "Well man…I've got good news and I've got bad news," Cyborg said quite happily. "Which do you want first?"
Robin gave him a look of annoyance and decided that he was merely doing this to try and lighten the mood because of how depressing things have been recently he decided to just play along. Robin sighed and then, trying to sound as upbeat as possible, said; "I guess I'll take the bad new first". "Well…Beast Boy and Starfire are still in comas. Now how about the good news?" Cyborg questioned anxiously. "Sure, give me the good word Cy" Robin said trying to remain upbeat despite his anticipation rising. "The good news is that thanks to Raven's healing abilities she's as good as new," Cyborg said happily as soon as he finished saying this Raven crawled out of the bed she was in and dusted herself off "So what do you think?" Despite all his best efforts after seeing that one of his closest friends has recovered from a critical state brought him to tears. "Well jeez Robin if you want me back in critical condition I can try and see what I can do." Raven said jokingly because she knew that Robin's tears were tears of joy. "I…think I can…live with…it Raven," Robin said with difficulty from being so choked up about his friends recovery "I'm so glad that you're alright…" Robin said as he walked over to Raven and held her in a tight embrace. "Um…can we have a second alone please Cyborg?" Robin asked pleadingly. Realizing what he meant he gladly agreed and exited the room after saying that he would be at the titan's mainframe if they needed him.
Raven quickly took notice of Robin's scratches and bruises and said, "You look like you have a broken rib…I'm sorry. You had to go throu…" Robin locking lips with her while continuing to hold her in a tight embrace cut off raven. As Robin locked lips with her Raven hugged Robin and kissed back not being able to hold back how she felt any longer. "I'd do anything for my friends…and especially you…don't ever forget that." Robin stated quite plainly as soon as they broke apart and Raven began to heal his injury. Raven blushed when she heard this and after finishing up healing him she looked back at her friends and sighed. "Unfortunately there's only so much I can do…I wish I could help them…" Raven said quite disappointed in herself. "You do all you can and that's all anybody can ask Raven" Robin said comfortingly. "Cyborg has filled me in on basically everything that's been going on but from your search around the city I was wondering if you found any leads." Raven said clearly wanting to help out in any way that she could. "I've managed to triangulate her location but aside from that I'm completely in the dark." Raven looked quite startled at hearing that she was a girl. "Did you get a good look at her?" Raven questioned so that she might be able to help find out who she was. "All that I could tell from the split second that I saw her is that she has blue eyes and white hair. Oddly enough she looked kind of like a female version of what I imagined Slade would look like." Robin stated.
"What do you plan to do?" Raven asked quite concerned with whether or not Robin was going a bit too far. "Well first I'm going to head to Red X's location and then I guess we'll play it out by ear." Robin said realizing that he hadn't really devised a plan yet. "From what I've heard about the situation you're going to need help taking down Red X. If it's alright with you I'd like to go with you." Raven mumbled already thinking of what Robin would say. "No way! You'd be in way too much danger and you just recovered!" Robin shouted out looking at Raven as if she had lost her mind. "From what I've seen you need my help to take her down. Besides you if anything goes wrong you'll be there to protect me." Raven said before winking at Robin who was quite disturbed at this un-Raven esque behavior before admitting defeat and agreeing to take her along with him.
