Red Sorrow
Ch3 Unique
Red X's POV
"Ughh, What the… What happened?" I slowly awoke from my knock out state. I tried lifting my head only to feel a sharp pain in the back of my head, "Argh." I rubbed it while getting up. Suddenly, everything came back to me, "Starfire and that man…" I realized
What happened, "Crap…" I couldn't believe how easily I was beaten. I tried to figure out why he took her when I heard groaning behind me. I turned around to see Robin slowly getting up, "Should I tell him?" I wondered, "No, he wouldn't believe me and even if he did, his thanks would be slapping a pair of cuffs on me." I hurried away as he started to get on his feet and then, hit the button on my belt and teleported away. Later, I reached my apartment; I instantly crashed on my bed. I laid there, just staring at the ceiling, trying to sort out my mind. "What is happening to me?" I asked out loud, "Why did I care about her so much? Why did I call her mine?" I let out a sigh of frustration, then it came to me, suddenly, out of the blue, I remembered why I was so fond of her.
(Two months after the Brotherhood of evil)
I ran as the pouring rain dampens my suit, I looked down the materials I had just stolen and grinned, everything I needed to make my new belt (A/N At the beginning of the story he does have his original belt as he also does in this Flashback, but he decides to make a new one for more space and new weapons.) It was so simple. The factory had practically no security, so I went in, got what I wanted, and left with no one the wiser! I chuckled as I ran past a few storage shacks as I crossed the harbor. Then, I heard a soft whooshing sound over head; I looked up to see a figure in a purple skirt and top flying over me towards Titans Tower. I looked over "Well, well if it isn't the cutie…" I snickered watching her land on top of the tower, "Let's have a little fun." I put the materials in side a spare compartment in my belt and clicked the teleporter and vanished from my spot and ended up on top of the tower. I opened the door leading down from the roof; I walked stealthy to the main room where all the Titans were. I planed to jump out at the titans and make a wreck of the place for fun, it was childish, but I did need a little break from the usual adrenaline of thievery. I walked to the door that led to the main room, and just as I was about to bust down the door, something stopped me. I heard something, a laugh, it was soft and sweet, it seemed it would melt; even the blackest of hearts, and mine was no exception. I instantly forgot my childish prank and lessoned intently. I recognized the tone of the laugh as Starfire, I couldn't believe it, and I mean of course I thought she was cute who wouldn't? But, I never really heard her talk, unless you count the times she's yelled at me, it was so sweet, so innocent. I would, from then on, watch her every now and then I would watch her, watch her laugh, that laugh was like magic so carefree so innocent, watch her smile that sweet, loving smile. She of course wasn't the brightest when it came to talking and such, but that just made her special… it made her, her. It made her unique.
Suddenly, a loud blast rang in my ears as I snapped back to reality. I ran to the main room where I heard the noise originate. When I reached my destination I was instantly tackled to the floor. I looked up to see the eyes of Robin, "What do you want?" I hissed hitting him in the side knocking him off me and summoned a few sharp X's into my hand facing four Titans… wait four? "Hey…where's the cutie?"
"Don't play dumb X!" Robin roared at me, "WHERE IS SHE?" I was startled he didn't know? Gah, of course not he was knocked out.
"Listen kid I don't have her…"
"LIAR!" He lunged at me again; I dropped my X's in surprise as I was tackled to the floor.
(Back at the bank Robin's POV)
I slowly got to my feet, trying to ignore the pain. When I finally stood completely up I saw Red X disappear. I growled menacingly at the thought of losing to him, but forgot about it for a moment and went searching for the other Titans. I found Raven with a sticky X plastered across her mouth. I crouched down and reached for the X, and with one quick motion ripped it off. Raven awoke with a start and instantly raised her hands to her mouth,
"Owww…" she muttered rubbing her mouth,
"You okay?" she looked at me
"Besides, being hit hard in the back of the neck and something as sticky as flypaper ripped off my face causing extreme pain? Fine." she said in monotone while getting up.
"Wake the others up, I need to find Star." she nodded as I turned and went hunting for Starfire. I looked everywhere but, she didn't turn up I started to worry the premises we fought around wasn't that big. I ran up the steps of the bank and found that Red X left his bag of money. "Odd." I looked down at it, and then saw something shimmer at the ground next to it. I reached down and picked it up, it was a syringe. I walked over to Cyborg who was doing a system check and helping Raven get the X off of Beastboy's mouth. "Cyborg can you take a look at this for me?" I handed him the syringe, he took a quick look at it,
"There's still some fluid in it." he said as he brought out a small device and squirted the rest of the fluid in a small tube. He placed the tube in the device and in a few seconds it came out with a result. "It's a sleeping drug." Cyborg stated while throwing the tube in a near by trashcan.
"No…Starfire's been kidnapped!" I instantly panicked,
"Hey, man don't jump to conclusions she might be roaming aro--"
"I just checked she's nowhere! I can't find her! Why else would there be an empty syringe that was full of a sleeping drug?" I couldn't believe it, my best friend taken, and it wasall my fault.
"Don't worry man we'll find her." Cyborg said placing an arm on my shoulder. "It was him." I growled remembering Red X, "Who?"
"Red X, he took her." I growled, "Cyborg is there anyway to get his location?" Cyborg looked at his arm; it had completed its system check so he hit a location screen and typed in Xinothium.
"If he's close my tracking system can pick up the energy from the Xinothium he's carrying." sure enough it started beeping, Cyborg looked at it, "He's at an apartment building at Green rush Street."
"Titans MOVE!" I ran to my R-cycle as Raven finally removed Beastboy's X,
"Right." she nodded and hovered to the T-car the other two piled in and we raced for the building.
(Present Red X's POV)
"Listen kid, I didn't take her it was some loon in an orange and black mask." I huffed as I pushed him off me. His eyes widened,
"Slade…" he hissed his voice oozing with venom.
"I don't know where he went, so don't ask." I walked away to my room.
"Titan's move we have to find him!" Robin and the other Titans ran out of my apartment. I looked back I wondered what was happening to her if she was alright. I cursed I knew I was going to regret it but… I ran after them and threw myself of the edge of the rail in front of my door, or what was left of it. I landed in front of them, "Take me with you."
……………..
Well here's an update I would like to thank all of my reviewers for giving me such positive responses for my last chapter. Well I did it the last two chapters and I'll do it now, here's a sample.
I threw a X' shaped bomb at the group of robots rushing at us, it destroyed a few but they keep charging and were soon upon us, I brought out my X wrist blades and cut a few down as Robin brought out his staff and destroyed at least five in three seconds flat. But, in his rage he didn't see the robot raising its arm to fire a blast at him. I threw a razor-sharp X at him slicing its arm off I ran and swiped my blade down the middle slicing it in half. "You saved me…" he said shocked finishing off the last of the small group of robots, "Why?" I looked at him, "I need you to save her."
Well hope you liked the chapter and I will update soon (Hopefully)
