Hola, again, I decided to take a break from my OC, Reaper and work on something purely about the Teen Titans universe. This is about my Favorite ally/villain Red X, and about his choice at the end of "X" (Great ep.) and put my own little twist to it. This is a Red x Star story, but won't really get into it till about chapter 3 or so…. Anyway I hope you enjoy it and without further ado. Red Sorrow
Red Sorrow
Ch 1 Who am I?
Red X's POV
"There, finished!" I said looking at my new belt. It was the same design just a little bigger so I could store more xinothium and allowed me to do more abilities. I clipped it around my waist, "I was right, if birdbrain could do it, so could I." I chuckled slightly as I remembered my first encounter. The first fight in the warehouse, then on the roof, the chase with Robin, then…. I stopped there as I remembered what I did next, something most villains wouldn't do. I helped the Titans. I don't know what made me even think of doing it, but I did it and that was that. I walked over to the sofa in the middle of my apartment and sat down, and let out a sigh, "I think I'm some kind of untouchable thief, but then I start playing hero?" I shook my head, ever since that night I kept asking myself why I helped them, I kept asking, who am I really? "It has to be the red head." I whispered, ever since I saw her, it changed me, I kept telling myself that once I got more xinothium I would start stealing more, but I knew that I couldn't do it though, that would mean I would have to fight her, hurt her. "Why am I so attached to someone I don't even know?" I asked no one in particular. I stood up and went to a small chest in the corner of the room, and unlocked it. Inside there was a small, red, glowing tube, xinothium. I chuckled again, "If they thought I would be so stupid as to destroy a my only tube of xinothium then they were sorely mistaken." I said as I remembered grabbing two spare tubes on Professor Chang's desk. I picked it up, unscrewed the top, and poured the foul smelling substance into my belt. I activated the belt to make sure it worked. It started with a humming noise, I pointed my arm at one of the walls and shot a small red x at it which sliced right through it. "Seems to work fine." I said turning to the window opening it letting the cold winter air flow into the apartment. "Lets have some fun." I said slyly, "Just don't let her be there." I thought then shook my head trying to dismiss the thought, but it wouldn't go away. I sighed "This may be a little harder than I thought." I whispered as I leaped out of my apartment seven stories up. I quickly clicked a button on my belt, then teleported away.
(Titans Tower)
"DRAT!" Robin slammed his fist on the top of the table, "I can't find anything!" Robin yelled, looking at the screen in front of him. After putting in all sorts of clues, D.N.A and such he couldn't find anything about Slade. He couldn't find his name, hideout, motives anything, "Lousy piece of…."
"Friend Robin."Robin turned around to see Starfire standing in the doorway hands clasped in front of her. "Would you care to join us? We are about to watch the device of digital viewing."
"DVD Star, and no thanks, I have to figure out what Slade is planning. We haven't seen him since Trigon, and he wasn't with the Brotherhood of Evil, so he's had plenty of time to plot something." Robin huffed and started typing something into the computer.
"Perhaps he has decided not to harm anyone anymore?" Starfire asked innocently (A/N I just hate how well she does that she could probably get away with murder)
"I doubt it Star, go watch your movies with the guys I see you later tonight." Robin said moving the mouse around and clicking on an icon that looked like Slade's mask.
"Very well…" Starfire whispered disappointed, and turned to walk away, when suddenly the alarm sounded.
"TROUBLE!" Robin said quickly turning around and running out the door Starfire in tow. When they entered Cyborg was already pinpointing the spot. "Who is it? Is it Slade?" Robin asked,
"Nope, its not him." Cyborg answered,
"Then who is it?" Robin demanded,
"It's Red X." Robin cringed, He thought he saw the last of him after the race (A/N Revved up)
"Where is he?"
"At the Bank of Jumpcity." Cyborg said turning to him,
"He shouldn't be to hard, I mean sure he beat us once ,but you know the saying, Fool me once shame on you…no wait me….no it…no." Beastboy said trying to remember the saying,
"Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you?" Raven said in monotone,
"Yeah that one…."
"It doesn't matter he's going down one way or another, TITANS MOVE!" Robin ordered and they raced for the garage.
Red X POV
I quickly stashed all the money I could inside on of the bags I brought. When it was filled I ran out only to meet the police out side.
"Put down the money and put your hands up!" one of them ordered. I looked at how well they were armed, two trucks and a dozen officers, they came seriously light it was almost insulting.
"If you say so." I said dropping the bag and putting my hands up, but then sending two X shaped bombs at the trucks blowing them sky high.
"SCATTER!" one of the officers ordered the others.
"Lets play guys." I chuckled turning invisible. First, I brought out two X's casting them at two officers cutting their guns in half,
"What!" one yelled turning around only to meet my fist and sent flying, the other I gave a high kick knocking him out. Now ten were left, I turned around to see three pointing their guns at me,
"Freeze!" one ordered,
"Don't think so." I threw two bombs knocking them back into some debris and knocking them out. I rushed forward and clicked a button on my belt bringing out my blades from my gloves. They started spinning, and I ran at two guards that were still confused from the trucks blowing up, I quickly sliced their guns and sent a kick at each of them bringing them down. The final three were simple enough, I chucked a bomb separating them, withdrew my blades, I sent two X's that turned to globes pinning two, and for the last one I tried something new, I cast an electric X at him that made him pass out from pain. "That was simple enough." I said brushing the dirt off of my suit.
"RED X!" I knew this voice, I looked up to see none other than Robin and the Teen Titans and…her.
"Hey, kid." I said turning to Robin, my voice mechanical and husky, "Long time no see."
"Give back the money now and surrender!"
"Now come on kid, you know surrendering isn't my style." I said then threw a bomb.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Well here's chapter one I hope you liked it, here's a preview of the next chapter.
I flew straight for her leg extended meaning for a kick, but just before contact for reasons not that not even I could figure out, I brought it in and quickly spun in mid-air and missed her, "Why did you stop?" Starfire asked,
"I'm not through with you yet cutie."
Well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Oh and as a side note Red X does still have his belt from Revved up, he just decided to make a new and improved one. Well I'm off to take a bit of a break, I'll update a soon as I can but I'm managing three stories at once so bare with me.
