Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or anything that is in the comic or the cartoon. However, I did make up the plot.
Warning: Some OOCness, mainly because they are different since, they've never met but I'll try to make them as normal as possible.

Stargirl1066lkl: Sorry for the confusion, but I thought that since the gang never became well the Titians I thought he would turn out like that. There will also be alittle BB/Rae but not much.
Alexnandru Van Gordon: Thank you for replying. It mean's a lot to me because I just started reading your story 'Blast to the Supposed Past' and you are such a great writer I'm glad you like my story.
scathac's warrior: Thanks for replying. To answer your question yes and no. Since Robin is Red X… well, let's just say there are difficulties.
Ldy-FloR: Thank you for the encouragement.
Chapter 1: Caught…Again
When the police finally came, they managed to get her out of the trap. They also managed to give her a strong talking to about 'leaving criminals to the police' and told her 'she was lucky to not have been taken by the big mean villain.' Starfire pretended to listen, only to be polite. Then, after they finished their speeches and the younger ones on the force began to flirt, Starfire became bored with being polite and listening to the police talk and decided she had to take matters into her own hands, even though she wasn't exactly sure how to do it.
"Umm… Mister Policeman, would you please tell me the dwelling place of the Red X?" Starfire asked one of the older ones, that weren't fawning over her.
"Yes miss, He lives in the old abandoned warehouse at the edge of town," the man answered, "but I wouldn't recommend you going there, it's dangerous, some of our best men have come out babbling. You could get hurt."
"Thank you very much," she said as she flew off, not hearing the kind man's warning. She was too focused on finding the home of this 'Red X'.
She found the place easy enough, after looking in the windows of several different buildings and deciding that not even a criminal could live there, she came across it by spotting the 'welcome' mat. I didn't realize villains could be polite. Starfire thought scornfully, it would have been easier to hate someone who was rude. She landed on the porch lightly and began knocking (more like banging) on the door. She was about to blow it in when the door began to open.
"Now Kitten, you know that I meant to call you, but…" he paused as he saw who was at the door. "Oh, it's you sweetheart, so you cared enough to look me up."
"My name is Starfire," she said, calmly trying to keep her anger under control. "I do not like you," she said, then, quickly added, "And I am in no way a sugary beating organ!" At this, Red X chuckled.
"You're not from around her, are you?" He sounded amused, "But I'm being rude, please, come in!" Starfire wanted to refuse and then blast this stupid, self-centered, idiot Red X to Kingdom Went (What Starfire thinks Kingdom Come is) but Red X had seen it coming and threw three xs: one at her mouth, and two at arms. Once he made sure that she was of no harm to him, he led her into a long hallway. Starfire struggled but it was no use, they turned into a large room with two chairs; one was a black office chair with a long back and arms, the other one was a comfortable almost lazy-boy chair, it was also black and very comfortable, Starfire noticed as Red X sat her there and tied her arms to the chair and smiled, "now that's better, isn't it?" he said as he removed the x from her mouth.
Despite the fact that the chair was extremely comfortable, the situation that she was in at the moment was in no better than the one she had been in before. And as she thought this she got angry, "It is most certainly not!" She said, her eyes turned green as she saw him lock the door. "Let me out of here! I certainly do not want to…" The villain covered her mouth and sighed.
"Your pretty, but you talk too much." He whispered in her ear like a lover rather than a capturer. "I run this town, and you better keep quiet or I'll find a way to make you quiet myself. Is that understood?"
Starfire gulped as she found herself helpless for the second time in her life. Her eyes turned back as she surrendered with a nod. "Good," he said, taking his off her mouth. "Now why have you come to see me, my red-haired beauty? Have you realized that I am your Romero as you are my Juliet?" His eyes danced playfully, Starfire decided he needed to get out more as he continued, "Did you love me so intensely when you first laid your beautiful green eyes on me that you could not stand to be away from me for more than a minute's time!" He sat down in the large office chair and posed dramatically.
Starfire just sat confused, "My name is Starfire, like I told you before, not Juliet, and you are Romero? I thought your name was Red X. And I believe I already told you I have interest in criminals other than seeing them behind bars."
The man's eyes seemed to dance wilder as he heard Starfire speak, "do names really matter?" he asked Starfire, "Would not a Starfire by any other name be as sweet?"
"Is this about the organ again or are you just talking about the sugary bagel I had for breakfast?" she enquired even more puzzled. "What was you question again please?"
"Why are you here, my beloved Starfire?" Red X repeated.
"Oh," Starfire said. She searched her mind but Red X's diversions had confused her to the point that she had forgotten about her rage. Finally she spoke, "I do not remember."
He smirked, "That's what I thought." There was a silence which gave Starfire some time to study her surroundings. She was surprised how much the room looked like a mansion rather than an old factory. She noticed there was a table next to her with food and there were portraits and curtains like in the White House library, not that she had ever seen it before… She was looking at a portrait of a mother and father with three boys and wondering who they were when Red X coughed and caught her attention. "So Starfire, why don't you tell me about yourself?" He moved his face closer, "Because you utterly fascinate me."
Starfire had never been so flattered and scared in her whole life. She tried to think of a reply but couldn't. Once again this Red X had confused her and her emotions to the point where she was caught in her mind. Who was this Red X and why was he always confusing her. She was about to ask when a green eagle flew into the room.
