Chapter 13: Answers

"Robin I am not going to lie to you" she paused for a long time looking out the window mournfully.

"Yes, Raven" Robin prompted

"Robin, we have a new leader."

"What?"

"Yeah, he is here, outside"

"Who is he?"

"His name is Nightwing, he isn't all bad Robin you shouldn't…."

"Raven, I am Nightwing! When Starfire went forward….."

"I know! I remember, but what if by doing that she changed what you where going to be, what if you're not meant to be Nightwing anymore and he is."

"Let me meet him" Robin stated in a voice of pure venom.

Raven got up and left the room for a few minutes, when she came back in she was followed by a man the looked to be the same age as Robin, maybe a bit younger.

"Robin this is Nightwing, Nightwing, Robin"

Nighwing held out a hand in welcome but Robin ignored it, looking the newcomer up and down. He wore a skintight uniform that was all black other than a blue bird splashed across the front. The mask he wore resembled Robin's with a few modifications. Robin was amazed how closely they resembled each other. They had close to the same build, their hair was the same deep black, though unlike Robin's spiky locks, Nighwing's hung limp around his face.

Robin continued to glare daggers at Nightwing.

"Ok I think that is enough. We should go now." Raven stepped between the two boys.

"No, Raven it's ok, do you think I could have a moment alone with Robin?" Nightwing's voice was deep and gravely

"Sure" Robin noted she seemed at ease with this stranger, much more so than with the boy wonder himself.

Nightwing waited until she had closed the door behind her with a snap before he spoke, "How has it been living here Robin? It sure looks…comfy."

"Who are you?" Robin snapped at Nightwing. The boy laughed, flashing brilliantly white teeth at Robin,

"You're joking right?"

"No"

"Aww come on kid don't you remember what I promised I would do?"

Robin just stared at Nightwing, "I though I was more memorable than that." He pulled a small black box from his pocket and held it up to his mouth, "X marks the spot" the voice that was unmistakably Red X's issued from the box.

Robin's eyes went wide, "You did this to me! You did this! I'll kill you!" Robin jumped at Nightwing who fell to the ground yelling, "HELP! HE IS MAD! SOMEONE HELP!"

The door burst open and security guards burst in. The grabbed Robin and pulled him back.

"Listen to me! He is Red X! Raven, Cyborg, Star, Beastboy, he is setting you up! He's Red X!"

Raven grabbed Nightwing around the shoulders and pulled him up, she looked at Robin with disgust.

"I don't know what he talking about" Nightwing said brushing dirt off himself, "I was just sitting there and he started attacking me!"

"I know. He did the same to me" Raven again glared at Robin.

"Raven it's him! It's Red X!" Robin struggled against the guards holding him, looking at Raven, trying to get her to see the truth.

"Let's go Nightwing" Nightwing leaned on Raven's shoulder and limped out of the room, pausing at the door; Nightwing looked back at Robin and smiled his toothy grin.

"Raven please it is him, you are going with a criminal" Robin said weakly, he had stopped fighting against his captors.

"I think that was quite enough visitors for you Robin" the nurse said kindly, "Why don't you have a nice nap", Robin nodded, just wanting to be alone and think.

The nurse told the guards to let him go and they left the room.

Robin started pacing as he always did when he though.

'Batman hated it when I paced' quickly he pushed the thought of his mentor out of his mind, and tried to thing of what to do next.

Jeanniestorm: Now, now did I ever say last chapter the team had broken up? A for Robin getting better…..well you'll just have to wait and find out!

Shadow0015: -steals both yellow belts- sorry no more Raven throwing this time around. You know I should just raid all of your belts! Take them all! Then your pants will fall down! Mwhahaha!

A/N: Whoa this was a hard chapter to write! I was trying to find who Red X should be when he joined the TT. It started out as he was Superboy but that didn't fit where I was going so I changed it to an OC but that was stupid so finally I ended up with this. I hope it isn't to confusing.

I am so proud of myself! Three updates in three days!
