Dazed and confused Robin awoke with a splitting headache and brushed some dust off his shoulder. He sat up and saw the other Titans around him looking at him. Robin was still in the spot where he had been crushed into the wall.
"Robin," Cyborg said while lifting Robin off the ground. "We need to get you to the hospital wing of the tower, you're injured."
Robin cracked his neck and said, "I'm fine." Robin pushed away Cyborg and started walking down the hallway away from the others.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked hovering in the air.
Robin stopped in his tracks and replied, "I'm going to find out who Red X is." He continued walking.
"What?" Beast Boy questioned, "You just got obliterated by Red X! You need to rest, you're crazy!"
Robin ignored him and kept walking. With exploding anger Starfire flew over to Robin and grabbed his collar with both her fists. She lifted him off the ground and smacked him against the wall still grasping his collar with both hands.
"Robin!" Starfire shouted into Robin's face, "What is your problem? You need rest! Stop worrying, we can handle it while you heal."
He struggled in her arms then finally stopped moving all together. Starfire smiled and gently let him down.
"You're right," Robin insisted. "I do need to heal." He walked down the hallway heading toward his room for a good nap, he needed it.
"Robin, wake up!" A startled Raven alerted Robin. "We got trouble!"
Robin pushed away his blankets and jumped out of bed, "What kind?"
Raven hesitated and spoke, "Red X kind."
"Him again," Robin said frustrated. "Is he in the tower?"
Raven shook her head, "He's in the city, downtown." After speaking she yelled, "Behind you!"
Robin looked behind and saw Red X about to punch him in his cheek, but quickly dodged it.
While Red X was regaining balance, Raven said with her pupils disappearing, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Red X was smashed up against the wall and a curved beam from the wall held him in place.
"You got him!" Robin said congratulating Raven.
After a moment Robin walked up to the struggling Red X. They both glared each other in the eye. Soon, Robin stopped and smiled, "Now to find out who you really are."
Robin lifted his arm and grasped the mask of the disguised figure. After a breath or two, Robin pulled the mask off.
Another mask was behind the one he just pulled off. Confused, Robin pulled off that one, and the same result occurred. Mask after mask was pulled off until a hill of masks was piled on the floor. Nothing but millions of masks was behind the original.
"Like my little trick," Red X said under his breath.
Robin woke up. It was all a dream. It was nearly sundown; he had slept half the day. After letting his heart return to its normal steady pace, Robin got up and walked into the living room.
It was empty.
A screen had been hanging down in front of the T.V. displaying a map of the town, a red dot blinking downtown.
He grabbed his communicator and spoke, "Who's disrupting the city?"
A silent pause was conjured awaiting a response to his question but then Cyborg's voice was heard, "Red X, we got him though. He…just gave up. They're bringing him to jail, we got your suit."
"So who was Red X?" Robin asked Cyborg in relief.
"Just," Cyborg started, "some guy."
Finished, Robin put the communicator back in his pocket. He sat on the couch stunned that this entire time it was just some random guy, he was kind of disappointed. He was hoping for a super genius mad man or something. He sat on the couch awaiting the arrival of the other Titans.
"Your team is so idiotic," A voice came from behind the couch. "I didn't even think my plan would work, but it did."
Recognizing Red X's voice, Robin jumped off the couch and looked toward Red X. He stared at him and asked, "What plan?"
Red X smiled at the accomplishment and said, "You think I'm the one they arrested and sent to jail. I paid some poor sap to wear a fake suit, pretty clever huh?"
"You're dead!" Robin leaped into the air and tackled Red X to the ground dodging any defensive attacks blown at him. Robin pulled back his arm and smacked Red X in the face a couple times and smashed his elbow into his stomach.
"Had enough yet?" Robin asked still on top of Red X.
"I'm not hurt a bit," Red X said with a smirk.
"Ahhh!" In a release of stored anger, Robin grabbed his birdarang and slashed Red X's face across from ear to ear. Gasping for air Robin ripped the mask open and looked to finally see who the identity of Red X was.
Nothing was there.
"What?" Robin said getting up.
The headless Red X also stood up.
"What are you?" Robin asked with no more anger and more confusion.
"Do you really think a person could be as smart and talented as me?" Red X boasted. "For I am no human, I am your suit…"
