Robin awoke as sunlight filtering in from the boarded windows shined in his eyes.

He turned his head to the side trying to block out the light. The warm pressure he felt on top of him, told him Terra hadn't moved. Judging from his proximity to the window it must be around eleven. Groaning slightly Robin looked at Terra, she was slightly shorter than him so her check rested on the base of his neck. Then Terra started to move; Robin's movements had awakened her as well. Terra shifted her body so that she could look into Robin's eyes. Her eyes were encrusted with sleep, and her hair had fallen all over her face. Robin brushed a lock that was blocking her eyes aside.

"Morning." Terra just smiled containing a slight laugh; she kissed him then sat up. As she stood Robin followed suit. "Oww, now I realize how uncomfortable this floor is." Robin rotated his head and arms trying to crack the stiffness out of his joints.

"Speak for yourself, I feel wonderful." Terra looked herself over trying to wipe the dried cum off of her midsection.

"You look like you could use a shower."

"I bet we both could, any chance the water still works here."

"Probably not." Robin reached down and began to dress himself.

"Wait your going to put that back on?"

"It's contained worse spills and smells, why?"

"I mean your going to risk not being able to remove that jumpsuit?"

"We have to wear something and I this is what I hope it is we won't need to wear this much longer." Robin tossed an object to Terra. It looked like a palm Pilot but as Terra flipped it over and took in the map in her hands she realized what it was.

"You managed to track him?"

"Looks like it. Signal only went dead half an hour ago, he may still be there."

"This isn't far, we can make it without being spotted."

"You couldn't levitate us?"

"Sorry I don't think I can right now. "

"Well let's go catch us a thief."

"Couldn't think of a better thing to do." As Terra zipped up her jumpsuit and pulled the mask over her head she could think of several things that she would rather do, but this was probably going to be their best chance at redeeming themselves after last night.

The man who had become Red X quickly packed. He had discovered and destroyed the tracking device about an hour ago. His only hope no was to be free of the area, and destroy any evidence, before his pursuers found him. How could he have been so stupid not to check before returning? He had stayed and watched part of the fight between the two unknowns and the Titans. He had been so elated and a little disappointed that no one had even looked for him after he ditched Cyborg. I won't be caught unaware next time, he thought to himself as he finished packing this particular box. All that was left to do was pour the fuel and set the charge, then his current alias would perish in a botched attempt at arson for insurance. Returning to his desk he sat and began to run the auto delete functions. Something caught his attention, the motion sensor in the other room had gone off, he didn't leave the internal security system on while he was home, but the monitors were still active. Someone was here, someone good enough to avoid tripping the exterior sensors. The sensor just outside his door went off, he griped a throwing weapon, one of Robin's intake originals, and pretended to tinker with it. As this intruder was already looking at his back there was nothing to be gained from diving for cover, but much to be gained if the attacker thought they had surprise on their hands.

Robin stopped when he saw the man that was Red X, he looked familiar but Robin couldn't place him. Didn't matter anyway, with his hand he signaled Terra to circle around on the edge of the room. After that Robin started forward, taking care not to make a sound as he advanced. The figure had his back turned and was crouched over his desk. Robin stopped out of arms length and signaled Terra to move in. She was almost ninety degrees to Robin's left, just out of the target's view. At this range there was no way he could pull a weapon without being heard so he instead took another step forward.

The soft creaking was the sound that Red X had been waiting for. He spun around slashing with the X shaped throwing star. Robin leaped backwards receiving a large gash in his outfit. The protective material held and he was unhurt, but another slip like that and he'd need to use his hands to keep is guts in. Red X slashed again, and again Robin dodged, this time having at least an inch of room between him and his attacker's weapon.

"Your star's broken." Robin commented as he circled Red X making sure that X kept his back to Terra who was still moving in undetected.

"It's still sharp and you won't survive another hit."

"Always out for blood, we just want the stuff you stole, and your surrender." Terra pulled her staff and began moving in.

"We?" Shit Red X thought there were two of them last night, but where's the other. His silent question was answered as he heard the sound of a springing click. Terra had extended her staff's twin blades, and no was advancing slowly executing a pretty yet deadly plum flower move. Red X spun around about halfway so that he could see each of his attackers out of the corners of his eyes. The momentary distraction had given Robin a chance to draw his staff and Terra was approaching rapidly spinning her bladed staff in a cross X fashion. Damn, and me with no gadgets on me, but I still have an out.

"What could a pair of thieves possibly want?" Red X kept backing up, he was almost there.

"We want to clear are names of wrong doing. They are after us for that robbery."

"You stole something too, I saw your handiwork." Almost.

"No one will miss what we took, besides we'll get that back in time. No do you want to do this the easy way?" Robin took a step forward and towards Terra. "Or my way?"

"You know you really crack me up Robin. Playing the hero even while your dressed as a villain." Red X pretend to stumble as he backed into the workbench, like he had forgotten it was there. Of course that had been his goal all along because no he had palmed the detonator in his free hand. The charges were not set; they were in their box, conveniently right behind Robin and his unknown friend. The fuel was unfortunately behind him but that couldn't be helped. He only needed them to close the distance between each other; they'd make a better shield that way.

"How do you know who I am?" Robin took another step forward and towards Terra. Good.

"I watched some of that fight last night, and you just confirmed my suspicions." Good they were close enough; he flipped the switch on the detonator, turning off the safety.

"I've thought about your offer and I'm going turn you down. I say we do things my way." Red X mashed down the trigger and with a thunderous crack the charges detonated no more than four feet behind Robin and Terra. While they were just primers, there were close to thirty of them and they were in a wooden box. Fireworks in an open hand, results in a burn. But fireworks in a closed hand, well lets just say I hope you don't need that hand anymore. The box shattered and the force of the blast threw Robin and Terra to the ground. Flames began to grow out of the smoldering remains of the boxes that were around that one. It's a shame Red X thought as he sprinted for the door, those where my clothes. Ow well, the stuff I stole is worth more than enough to pay for this damage.

One moment Robin and Red X were talking the next a blast of heat and sound overwhelmed Terra's senses. She felt herself fall and them she could see blackness dancing in front of her and a ringing in her ears. Something must have exploded, she thought, I don't feel hurt but that may mean nothing. Struggling to stand Terra watched Red X grab a bag and head towards the door.

"Oh no you don't!" Terra tossed a double weighted line at the escaping thief. The cord wrapped around his shins and he tripped going down right outside of the door. The smoke was becoming more intense and if she didn't know any better that was gasoline in those barrels in front of her. Finally standing she turned to Robin, he was moving and groaning but not on his feet yet.

"We have to go now." Terra pulled Robin to his feet.

"X?"

"Outside on the ground."

"I have to get something first. Make sure our prey doesn't run off."

"Hurry, those barrels." Terra pointed.

"I see them." Then he was off into a deeper room of the now burning house. Someone had probably called the fire department by now, it was time to leave. Terra found Red X sprawled just outside the door to the room. He looked like he had hit his head in the fall. Terra checked in the bag, yep the priceless relics. Picking up Red X under his shoulders, she hauled him out of the backdoor they had entered from and dropped him behind a concrete shed. After tying him up so he'd still be there by the time the fire department arrived, Terra turned to go get the stuff he stole. Robin walked out at that moment, he was carrying the bag of loot in one hand and had the Red X power suit slung over his shoulder.

"You ready to go?"

"Almost." Robin stopped long enough to place the bag of loot in the unconscious X's hands.

"I swear I recognize him from somewhere."

"Lets leave before someone else recognizes us."

"Right."

As they ran from the scene a massive plume of fire alerted them that the barrels of fuel had just gone up.

At that same moment Beastboy walked into the cavern where Terra had made her final stand. The cave contained only one point of interest, a cliff protruding over what had been a lake of rock. On that cliff a statue stood, the most perfect statue in the whole world in Beastboy's opinion. But today something was wrong, the statue wasn't there. The pedestal the titans had carved still stood, the plaque was still in its proper place. Except the figure of the most beautiful girl in the world (again Beastboy's opinion) wasn't there. All that remained were fragments of stone. Not enough to mean that the statue had broken; these were to thin and fragile. Much like an eggshell. Silently Beastboy cursed himself for not visiting more often; at first he had been her faithfully once a week, then once a month. Now, well the last time he had come to see her it had been over three months ago. Had he paid more attention he would have learned of her resurrection sooner. He could have helped her, now she was back with Slade. Perhaps Slade had used her to corrupt Robin? Beastboy sat down and let a tear run down his cheek, she was back and probably as far away from him as she had been while encased in stone.

"I'm sorry for not being there Terra." His words echoed across the empty cavern, no one answered him.

Well not entirely empty, from the shadows Raven watched him. She had grown used to the attention she received from Beastboy in the time since Terra had left them. Truthfully she wished Terra was back in her stony prison, the girl dissevered it, for everything she had done to them. Last night and the following morning Beastboy had been strangely unresponsive. Even after Robin's loss, he had showed more joy as if only to lighten the others mood. Raven cared about Beastboy though she wouldn't admit to even herself. The prospect of losing him to her was angering. Raven took a deep breath; calm you can't let him know that you followed him.
