Red X cont….

Walks up to counter. Orders pepperoni pizza. When order comes out screams, "I ordered cheese, you idiots!" Takes pepperoni pizza, mumbling. Brings to table. Sits down.

Sighs…

"Um, you're sitting on my cloak…" an annoyed Raven grumbles.

Quickly, I reply, "Huh? Oh, sorry. I—uh, didn't……."

"Are you okay?" Raven asks.

"Um, yes, just fine. Hehe, just fine!"

Staring at me like I'm a loser, Raven nods her head and sarcastically says, "Of course."

"Red X!" Robin says leaderly-like.

Gosh, he's such a brat. And a snob. And a twerp. I mean, man, he's the best leader a team could have!

"I said, Red X!" Robin repeats, glaring at me.

"Hey, dude, I heard you." I say. "Calm down. Chill. Here, sit, have a slice." Motions to pizza. Cuts a slice. Hands to Raven.

"No thanks. I don't eat pepperoni," she mumbles.

"Yeah, neither do I! Another veggie! Yeah, I'm actually not alone!" Beast Boy smiles and proclaims.

Such a happy little snot. I mean, how cute…a little animal for me to train. Hehehe.

"BB, I'm not a vegetable," Raven grumbles, irritated.

"Red X, why is it that you have written us this, as Robin called it, resume?" Starfire questions, looking utterly confused.

Oh great, the dumb one. Well, here goes… Tries to communicate with the alien-life-form. "The reason for that is, I want to be a part of your team."

"Oh," Starfire whispers.

"You?" Cyborg laughs. "A part of our team? Uh-uh, I don't think so. That's not how we do it, 'round here."

"Cy, let me handle this," Robin whines. "I'm the leader!" he whispers.

Cy rolls his eyes and steps back.

Such a big guy needs to be the leader. I mean, seriously, Cyborg could trample Robin with his hands!

Robin comes face-to-mask with me. "Listen here, X—"

"Red X," I interrupt.

"Oh right, I forgot about that part of my name. Listen here, Red X—"

I interrupt again, "Maybe it's your name, but you sure weren't able to pull it off. Now me, just look at me! I mean, I'm completely Red X-ified."

Raven glances over my apparel. I point to the huge red X on my shirt. She rolls her eyes and sighs heavily.

"Moving on…Listen here, Red X, the only way I'd even think about letting you join my team…"

Man, what a snob! How selfish can you get? I, my, me…
Jeez, how boring!

"…is if you prove yourself to us."

Finally an us… Snaps back out of day-dream of holding hands with Raven. She was actually smiling.

"Prove myself? Haven't I already proven myself? I mean really, come on! I saved you Robin!" I declare.

"Saved me? From what?" Robin snorts.

Annoyed, I explain, "From Professor Chang, you idiot! Don't you remember anything? He was aiming his big gun thingy at you and I pushed you out of the way…"

Robin growls, "Yeah, now I remember. I ripped my best cape from that. Thanks a lot."

How shallow can a guy get? "Robin, you would've died! I saved you!"

"Oh well. Just forget about it," Robin dismisses it.

"No! I'm not forgetting that, you dummy! Do villains save their enemies?" I scream.

"No, they do not. It is not in their ability to do so," Starfire answers.

Stares baffled at Starfire. "See, see!"

"Whatever. Anyway, back to my plan. You have to prove yourself to us if you want to be one of us. Willing?" Robin questions with a smirk upon his face.

What the hell does this brat have in mind? This is just like the resume. Willingness to stay employed. What the hell was that? What kind of a thing is that? Jeez.

"Yes, I'm willing…" I glance at Raven and she twitches her eyes. What the hell does that mean? Raven gets an annoyed look on her face and turns away from me.

"Good. Titans, go!" Robin yells.

Starfire flies up, carrying Cyborg, Beast Boy transforms into a bird and flies up next to Starfire, Raven levitates herself and situates right next to Starfire, and Robin gets out his rope-shooter thing.

"The first test is…can you keep up with us? This is how we normally travel around. How would you come with us?" Robin informs me.

"Uh…" Stares at Raven's leotard. Wow, she's hot! I mean, cute. I mean, wow she's a girl. I mean… Oh man, she's got no stockings on!

"Red X…"

Drools a little.

"Red X…"

Wipes mouth with hand.

"Red X!" Raven shouts.

Clamps ears. Looks hurtfully at Raven.

"Keep up, or don't even think about joining," she says.

"Oh, I can keep up!" I tell her. Stares at her chest. "Hehe."

"Red X, that's not my face…" she sighs.

"I know," I reply, "it's like a whole other being…"

"Oh god…" she mumbles.

The Titans fly off, leaving me at the pizza joint. What the hell do I do? I can't fly, I can't levitate, I don't have a Raven or a Starfire carrying me.

As the Titans travel farther and farther away, I become more and more perplexed and scared.

I scream out, "Wait! Raven, my honey-bunny, hold on!"

Uses swiftness skills and rapidly appears and disappears on tops of buildings. Tries hard to keep up with the Titans. Falls behind.

Will Red X ever prove himself worthy enough in Robin's eyes to join the Teen Titans? Or will he make a complete fool of himself…in front of Raven?
