Disclaimer: I TRULY OWN THE TEEN TITANS :wakes up from dream and looks around: NOOOOOO:sigh: I guess I don't but you probably knew that from the beginning .

"So I know you're from Metropolis, but I wish you would tell me more about yourself… maybe I could help." She said just as quietly.

He looked up at her with his masked face and made a sad face that she could easily see through that mask.

He looked back down and she pulled his face to face her, "Please…" She said looking him in the eye.

He sighed and decided it would be better to let her know what had happened in his life.

"You see, when I was little I idolized Superman, he was my life. I had posters, books, action figures, even a Superman bedspread. I was the envy of all of my friends." Red-X explained boastfully.

Raefire listened intentlyl; she wondered why he is so alone now if he had so many friends.

"I thought I had the best life ever…everything was perfect…absolutely perfect. One day my parents had to go to a meeting… and they were gone and I stayed home…I got a call saying I needed to be there. I rode up in my bike to find the car still there and my parents trapped in the car between a cement wall…and a semi…" Red-X continued…

"I waited for Superman to get there and save my parents... i knew that he would be able to move the truck before they bled to death...he never came...my parents bled to death and 6:37 that night...no Superman in sight..." He finished the morbid story, clinching his fists.

" From then on, I knew I could never trust a superhero to be there when I needed them…I went dark…everything in my world went black…I lost all my friends…stopped going to school last year…had no one…I heard about the teen titans and figured I could start some trouble with kids my age… I didn't have a uniform… I snuck into the tower one night to see if I could find anyway to make a suit…but I found this." He said pointing down to his costume.

"You know…just because he wasn't there that night…doesn't mean you can't trust him… he still does so much good." Raefire told him, trying to stand up for a fellow superhero.

Red-X had already fallen into uncontrollable sobbing...Raefire didn't know what to do so she just held him.

"Well…I didn't exactly have the best childhood either…actually… I didn't have a childhood at all…I was created this age…never had parents, never went to school, never had friends…no one was there for me except for a mad man…" Raefire tried to make him feel better by telling him, her story.

Red-X was still sobbing and she was getting worried, it was a bit loud and didn't want the titans finding out yet.

She pat him in the back to try to calm him down and rocked him back and forth.

He eventually fell alseep in her arms and laid perfectly still all night, she fell asleep sitting upwards so he could sleep...but as a consequence she had a horrible night.

He awoke the next morning still sleeping in her arms; she was sleeping but obviously uncomfortably.

She woke up to find Red-X staring up at her, "How long have you been awake?" She asked.

"Long enough…" He answered in his normal mysterious, smart-ass tone.

Raefire sighed and peeled Red-X off her and slid off the bed, she stretched and twisted her neck a bit.

She went out to see what was for breakfast but she heard a strange noise coming from Beast Boy's room.

She snuck down the hall and casually passed Robin and Starfire with their obvious flirting.

"I wish they'd just go out…it's like a TV show where everybody knows they are in love…except the couple themselves…" She mumbled to herself as she walked further down the hall…

She stopped at his door and put her ear against it trying to listen, it sounded like someone was commanding an army in there.

She knocked loudly on the door, "Hey B.B.! Can i come in?" She asked loudly.
