As the rain battered against the window panes Robin thought about his encounters with Red X, the first time it had been him inside the suit, yet the second time it was a totally different person, and since then X seemed to turn up sporadically, never staying in one place long enough to be found. "Dammit, I just cant find him, he always eludes me!" Robin vented his feelings into the night, feeling little better for his efforts.
He cant keep this up thought Starfire, too long and he will blow his top, then he will lash out at those close to him. Starfire looked saddened at her own thoughts.
Robin, taking no notice of the sad alien ran into the night, determined to do his duty.

X sat in the bar deep in thought, oblivious of all around him.
The bar itself was one frequented by people who needed time alone, people who didn't like to stand out in the crowd, though it was technically a bar, age wasn't important here, it was just a place to go, a waystation for the eternally wandering Without his X mask and suit X looked like any normal person, albeit a normal person with almost white hair. Unfortunately he wasn't getting much peace on this day, a bunch of guys over in the corner were making far too much noise, acting rowdy and abusive. X didn't give them a thought.
The jewel had fetched him a nice price, just another coupla zeroes to add to the bank balance. X sighed, all this money and nothing to spend it on, no purpose which could be completed with the cash. He dismissed the thought, the entire purpose was to make sure he could live, and of course he liked to steal.
Though it would be nice to have something or someone to spend all that money on…
He watched dispiritedly as a waitress walked past his table, bringing drinks to the crowd in the corner.

The waitress was just placing the drinks on the table when one of the men grabbed her behind, she froze not sure what to do, but was saved by an ashtray winging passed her ear which hit the man squarely on the side of the head. She looked around startled but was unable to see the source of the ashtray so she moved on and went to serve the teenager sitting by himself.
"Hello sir can I take your order?" She asked in a cheery voice, trying to bring a little happiness into the youths sad eyes.
"Ill take a glass of water please, oh and an ashtray, I need somewhere to spit my gum." The boy said glumly.
Slightly affronted by the glumness in his voice the waitress wrote down his order and moved away, it was only as she moved to the counter that she realized what was strange about the boys order, all the tables already had an ashtray, why would the boy need another one? He must have been the one who saved her from the jerk! Smiling now that she knew the identity of her savour she got the water back to his table.
"Thank you for throwing that ashtray, I wouldn't have known what to do if you hadn't." The waitress smiled quietly.
"It wasn't a problem," commented the boy "I cant stand people being rude and people who cant keep their hands to themselves, I was happy to help you."
"Thank you again, please have a nice day, and try to smile, the new dawn brings with it new opportunities," The waitress smiled once more and walked off to continue her round of the tables as the confused man with the headache and his friends wandered out of the bar.

X smiled to himself, here again he was playing hero, only this time he was helping an innocent waitress, only one person instead of hundreds like the first time, yet somehow it still felt just as good. Perhaps there was something to this hero business after all…

Robin wandered confused through the city, he was still trying to work out who X really was. He stopped himself from walking off the edge of a building just in time, perhaps he should let it go for the time being, this was becoming dangerously close to an obsession.
OOOOOOH another short chapter, oh well, never mind, I'm sure I will get around to writing a longer one one of these days. But at the moment I've still got a lot on my plate so you'll have to wait.

Quote for the day:
"We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true."
