Robin couldn't help it, he tensed as his eyes narrowed in the figure immerging. He hated everything about the guy, his arrogant voice, his stupid costume and most of all his over inflated ego.
"Don't call me bird boy." Robin ground out through bared teeth; it took all his will power not to cut the jerk to pieces. Red X crossed his arms over his chest. He was clad in a black body suit; X's on the hands, his mask was black with a white skull and a red X. And that's where he got his name.
"You've stayed your cheerful self then bird boy." Red X sneered, Robin could tell he was smirking; the smugness was evident.
"There will be time to catch up as long as I get that necklace tonight, Slade said between the boys who were caught up in a glaring contest. Robin was winning when he pulled away.
"Yes Slade." He said nodding; X merely smirked through his mask at Robin.
They turned and walked towards the lift, once inside Robin crossed his arms over his check fuming, X slowly turned to face him. "So how's the assassin's life? Killed many innocent people lately? Or just your targets." X asked casually, but with hinted malice.
"It pays better than a thief's job and apart from a few guards only targets too." Robin replied casually, he needed to stay the emotionless assassin around X; he loved to find Robin's weaknesses.
No weakness allowed…no weakness allowed…
Robin kept thinking these words as X talked about the spoils of thievery. Robin rolled his eyes; he climbed onto his bike, "meet me just outside the street of the museum." Robin said emotionlessly. "And X…shut up."

That night Robin pulled himself onto the roof of the museum, his security scrambler in one hand, and his computerized blueprints in the other. Robin frowned as saw X casually lean against the building. Robin put away his 'toys' as X called them and turned to X.
"I don't know why Slade has paired us, the security's hardly anything I or even you can't handle." Robin said frowning. "But if we get this over with then we don't have to stay in each other's company."
"Good point kid." X agreed nodding slightly. He then held out his hand and the X on his hand expanded into a spinning blur of red, he went over the skylight and started to cut a hole large enough for them. "You know, they really shouldn't install skylights, makes things to easy." Robin rolled his eyes.
"Careful, the security may not be good, but the titan's might have something up their sleeves that we didn't see, I've already met with them three times in the last two days, I don't fancy it again." Robin said, his mind flashed to the red-headed alien and his hard demeanor faltered.
"Nothing I can't handle." X said arrogantly. "Checked out the chicks? The alien's feisty as hell."
Robin's scowl deepened, as much as he didn't want to he felt a pang of jealousy, he didn't like the thought of X's hands on her in any way.
"I bet they kicked your sorry ass though." Robin resorted. X straightened up not liking the remark. He deposited the glass on the ground.
"It's not like they captured me, I was just out of xinothium (sp) for awhile. Who cares?"
"Slade." Robin replied.
X tensed slightly. "Let's just get this over with." X snarled darkly. He then pulled out a grappling and jumped through his makeshift hole, Robin right behind him.
Robin had always hated Red X, almost as much as he hated Slade, but even amongst all the rage and angst he had for the thief, he still had pity, heading right back to the day they met.

Robin lay on his small camp bed, staring up at his ceiling uninterested, he'd been with Slade for a year now, and he was tired of the constant training and the endless forests and of course Slade's torture sessions, which he called lessons.
His door opened and Wintergreen stepped in, he looked down his nose at the boy. "Master Slade has someone he wishes for you to meet." He said uninterested in Robin whatsoever. Robin sighed and followed the man into the main hall. And waiting there was Slade, but behind the man's hulking body was someone else.
The boy had scruffy black hair which hung into his eyes, and flew out like he'd just faced a gale. He was pale and thin, but his eyes were slanted and so dark they seemed almost black, he seemed almost like a vampire to Robin.
"Robin this is Xun Akako, he's from China, I brought him here to learn to be-"
"An assassin?" Robin cut in, Slade's one eyes narrowed.
"Don't interrupt." He said harshly. "No, you're going to be an assassin; Xun is going to be a thief."
Even then Robin felt a shiver run through him as Xun smirked at him and his dark eyes gleamed with mischief.
"So…" Xun began. "I hear your names Robin…pretty stupid name, how about I call you bird boy." Robin then knew that he and Xun were NEVER going to get along.
TT
I called Red X Xun Akako because, Xun means fast in Chinese and Akako means red child in Japanese, I thought it fit together nicely.

Starfire was lying on her bed, her head hanging off her side, her hair falling to the floor almost like a sheet of red. Her eyes stared at nothing, glazed over in thought, memory and the like. Robin was on her mind, and it seemed he'd never leave.
She closed her eyes and she could see him, his mask glinting, his face hard, his mouth smirking, his body posed for attack but even as he moved slowly in her mind he changed, his face softening and his arms wrapping themselves around her and he slowly brings his lips down to meet hers…
Starfire's eyes snapped open…she shouldn't be thinking about him in this way, in fact he shouldn't be thinking about him at all, he was a criminal, an infamous assassin no less. Yet when he looked at her…she couldn't even see his eyes but he didn't look at her like he did the others. Beastboy had said his stare sent shivers down his spine, but to her, when he looked at her she felt warm and complete. What was wrong with her!
Starfire rolled over to stare out of her window, what could they possibly have in common? He was a dark assassin, merciless, arrogant and…evil? She didn't know him, but she didn't feel as though he was, it was like he was lost.
There came a knock at the door and Starfire sat up. "Who requires entrance?"
"Star it's me, Raven."
Starfire closed her eyes, and rubbed her forehead, she didn't want Raven prying at the moment, but she couldn't exactly say no.
"Please enter friend Raven," Starfire answered sighing inwardly. Raven entered hood up with her eyes peering out at her. Raven went and stood by the dresser, she studied a pink bunny plush and put it down with distaste. Only then did she turn to Starfire.
"We need to carry on our convocation Starfire; I don't plan to let it go. What. Is. Up." It wasn't a question, it was an order. Starfire sighed, this time out loud, there was no dodging it now.
"I…I am…" She sighed, "I'm not exactly sure Raven." Starfire chose her words carefully and truthfully Raven frowned slightly.
"Well let's talk about it," Raven said taking a seat next to Starfire. "And get to the bottom of it."
"I do not know what is going on…he makes me feel strange, something I have not felt before, maybe this explains the new look in my eyes perhaps Raven?"
"Maybe, but how would you not know what something was? I mean you have to recognize it some how…what does it make you want to do?"
Starfire blushed slightly. "I…do not know."
"Starfire, I'm not stupid, answer the question."
Starfire sighed once more, and before she knew it words were flying from her mouth. "Oh Raven he makes me feel complete, I feel as though I have known him all my life, I...Raven I think I am in love!"
Raven no longer had her hood up, she was staring at Starfire in such amazement and emotion was flooding her eyes.
BANG!
They both jumped as the pink bunny plush blew into pieces. Raven stood up and put her hood up. Raven took another look at Starfire; tears filled her green eyes as she stared helplessly at Raven. Raven didn't know what to do or say.
"Excuse me."
The door snapped shut behind Raven and Starfire was left alone.

Robin and X made their way through the museum with ease, the security scrambler making sure no cameras saw them, but just for fun they 'danced' through the laser beams protecting the Japanese exhibit. They saw the necklace on a red silk cushion.
The necklace was gold, but the chain was one long dragon weaving its way around what would be someone's neck, every few centimeters there would be a red diamond hanging from it, but at the front there was large dark green emerald with two scarlet diamonds sandwiching it. It was gorgeous.
Robin looked at X, even from behind the mask Robin could see the greed he had for it. Robin looked at it again and saw a small information plague next to it. It read
Chirrico's necklace, an ancient necklace that the emperors favourite daughter would wear, worth over 500,000 dollars.
"Why did Slade want us both to steal this? You could've easily stolen this yourself," Robin said crossing his arms. "It's too easy."
"You're right kid, but Slade didn't want us just to steal this, he wanted us noticed, he wants Jump to be on its knees to us, I'm the master thief, you're the merciless assassin. People'll fear us Robin." X said the sound of satisfaction weaved in his voice.
"Well I can tell you four people who definitely won't fear you two!" A voice called form the doorway. Robin tensed, he could feel her eyes on him…he could feel her presence, and again guilt for his crime flashed in his long dead conscience.
"Hey it's a masquerade! Dudes! We forgot our masks!" Beastboy said grinning and then laughing shrilly. Robin turned the same time as X, and saw all four titans in battle stance. Robin unsheathed his sword and X's twin X's started to spin.
"You get the necklace, I'll take the freaks." X shouted running forward. Robin nodded and ran the other way; glad that he didn't have to face the titans. He smashed the glass and grabbed the necklace, stuffing it into his belt. The alarms now rang out, the police were probably on their way but it didn't matter.
Robin span around and saw something which made his stomach bubble with fury and jealously, he didn't know or care where the other titans were. All that mattered was that X had Starfire pinned the ground with an X and was running his fingers along her face.
Now…Robin was pissed.
