I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS! (DUH)

Masked eyes opened to the blinding white light overhead that had appeared only moments before. A startled girl was now sitting on her bed growling at the fact that someone had dared to wake her up before she was ready to get up. Sera's eyes narrowed when she saw her brother leaning on her doorframe with a smirk she hadn't seen in years. Confusion swept over her as she tried to remember what had happened yesterday, and just as quickly she remembered every little detail right to Star's bizarre tastes. Though most would remember that.

"Still can't stand to wake up to bright lights I see" the masked boy spoke smoothly.

"Get out before I drop you off the roof without your grappling cable." The young girl replied just as coolly.

"Cy and BB thought you might want breakfast so I came up to get you."

"What a joy" Sera said as sarcastically as she could after her rude awakening.

"Yeah, well, I'll leave you to it. Oh, and by the way sis, you may want to change the password on your keypad." Robin said while bolting down the hall just to make sure she wouldn't try to hurt him.

30 minutes later she was sitting on a stool beside Raven and Starfire watching the cyborg and changeling duke it out to see who would be making breakfast for the new guest that day.

"Meat!" (bet you can't guess who said that!)

"EEWW! Tofu!" (again, bet you can't guess who said that)

"Meat!"

"Tofu!"

"MEAT!"
"TOFU!"

"Uh, Beastboy. Not to be mean, but I don't like tofu. So can I have the bacon you're about to trash?"

It was true. The two boys had been grabbing each others food and tossing it in the trash, the drainage sink, out the window, ect., until she saw the bacon heading for it's doom. If there was one food she liked that wasn't junk food, it was bacon.

"HA! See ya little grass stain, she likes my food better." Cyborg stated smugly snatching the bacon and piling it on a plate for the newest Titan. "Here ya go Sera. Hope ya enjoy."

Not even two minutes later the bacon was gone and all the Titans were staring at her with wide eyes.

"What? I like bacon." She said simply, her lips forming a grin when Cy's faced beamed with happiness that she liked his cooking. "Sorry, BB, I just like stuff with meat and fat."

"Yeah, I think your motto when we were younger was: The quicker it can clog my arteries the better it tastes." Robin said walking into the kitchen stepping over a sausage that had landed on the floor due to this morning's argument.

"Yep, the greasier the better." She replied with a smile.

BEEP……BEEP……BEEP…..BEEP…..

"WHAT'S GOING ON!" Sera yelled over the continuous alarm and flashing red lights. Unfortunately, the beeping had stopped and she had yelled it for no good reason, earning a deep blush to swiftly come across her face. She ran over to the Titans that were at the computer across the room, and repeated herself, making sure not to yell.

"There's been a break in at the museum downtown." Raven voiced from beside her. We're going to go there and get him, hopefully before he gets away."

"You say 'he'. Couldn't be a she?" Sera asked innocently. She wasn't a complete feminist, but she knew a few thieves personally and some were female. They would tell stories of how they had gone on 'business trips' and had to rescue their boyfriend or male partner.

"No this one's definitely a guy. His names Red X. He's one of Robin's biggest annoyances." Cyborg whispered in her ear.

"Annoyance? Why not foe?"

"He's a thief, but he fought with your brother to defeat an enemy and saved all of our lives. Then he ran, and we were hoping he had turned into a hero, but apparently not." Cy explained quickly while Robin was figuring the exact address. Once it was given four teens ran to the garage, while Sera and Starfire flew from the roof to the museum.

(At the downtown museum)

(Red X's POV)

'I wish the Titans would hurry up. I need a good fight.' X thought silently as he waited in the shadows for the Titans. A beautiful one of a kind painting was rolled up in a plastic container beside him on the floor. He cast a glance downward at it as he sighed in boredom. 'I couldn't care less about the painting, but if I can beat them and grab it at the same time, that would be even better.' He thought with a smirk, though no one could see it through the mask.

He heard pounding footsteps from the hall to his left and backed up to the wall. He saw the half man-half machine walk around the corner to him, and he listened carefully.

He silently ran around them, wanting to see the Boy Blunder first. 'There he is.'

"Rob, I didn't see much, but do you know how much some of these are worth." A young girl's voice floated into his ears. "These paintings are worth hundreds of thousands, maybe even a million if you find a greedy enough collector and a highly paid thief. And the security sucks! No wonder this Red X guy could get in. A teen carjacker could get in here and steal everything."

"Yeah most of the places in Jump don't have security because they rely on us."

"That's unfair. They're practically begging to get robbed." The winged teen said, while her brother only nodded in agreement.

(Normal POV)

The twins walked around the corner both looking for clues.

"Hello Kid." A mechanical voice sounded, slightly scaring both of them.

"X. What do you want!" Robin half yelled-half screamed and the masked thief.

Sera took the moment's confusion to get a good look at the thief. He was about 3 or 4 inches taller than she was, and was wearing a white skull mask with a small red x on the upper right hand section. His suit was plain black with a belt that was red and had an X on it. He had a long ripped cape that just seemed to compliment the thief's appearance. He seemed cocky and/or arrogant, but she knew not to judge a book by its cover.

"What! How do you have the belt!" Robin yelled again.

"Oh, this old thing?" X replied smoothly completely ignoring the girl to Robin's right "I just stole it right back from under your nose kid."

Robin rushed forward, trying to know X off his feet, while Sera stood with her eyes wide at how quickly her twin had been angered. They were throwing kicks and punches and giving it all they had. As she watched, she noticed that Robin was becoming sloppy from his anger. She watched the fight until X got in a lucky shot and the boy wonder slammed into the wall, losing consciousness.

Her calm nature was instantly destroyed, with pure rage taking its place. She shot towards the teen thief that had his back towards her. Quickly and completely silently she got to him, and kicked him in the lower chest. He reeled back, trying to steady himself, before getting a good look at the girl he had ignored.

She was a few inches shorter, and a little taller than the boy wonder. A mask, very similar to said boy, was covering her eyes, giving her a mysterious appearance. Her long, black hair with red streaks was French braided down to her lower back and out of the way. She was wearing a black leather body suit with P's on the shoulders. She had flipped out of the way and saw that the leather in the back was cut down to her lower back from her shoulders so that two wings could come out and move freely. Her wings were black with red feathers at the tips making it look like they were on fire.

(X's POV)

'She looks ticked. Well I did take out the kid right in front of her and ignore her. She good looking though and not a bad-' X couldn't even finish his though, for the girl he was studying, ran at him, causing him to cease thinking and start defending himself.

(Normal POV)

Both were concentrating on the fight and were determined to win. After getting hit in the ribs for the third time in a minute, X decided to change tactics. His hads shot forward,grabbed hers, and pulled her to him. He spun on his feet and roughly pushed her to the wall, pinning her arms above her head. He leaned on her so she wouldn't get a lucky shot in to his family jewels. Both stayed still, taking the moment to rest up and gather more energy.

(Sera's POV)

'CRAP! I can't believe I just got pinned to a wall by this…this…UUHH! I'm so mad I can't even think straight! Dang, he has me pinned so tight, my wings are stretching my muscles. That REALLY hurts.'

(Normal POV)

Sera came her senses first, struggling against the thief's iron grip, and failed miserably to get away.

"Who are you?" X hissed in her ear after making sure she was good and secure against the wall.

"Wouldn't you like to know!" the struggling girl hissed back.

"The name's Red X, but I guess you alredy know that since you're with the boy blunder over there. What are you, his baby-sitter?" he asked mockingly.

"Yeah, I knew. And if you call my brother a baby again I'll--"

"You'll what? Blow wind in my face. Sorry Beautiful, I'm on top, so I'm in control. Besides you can't even move at the moment, so why don't we talk? You never did tell me your name."

The girl stiffened in his hold when he said beautiful, and she pushed herself against the wall harder to keep him at a distance. He only walked a step closer, pushing himself flush up against the smaller girl.

"What? No one ever call you beautiful before?" He was smirking though no one could see it because of the power he had over this new Titan. "Because if they didn't, they should have."

Sera's rage consumed her whole body as she twisted so that she had him pinned to the wall. "The name's Phoenix, and you'll do good to remember it." She spat before kneeing him savagely in the stomach. X bent over from the force of the blow and fell to the ground when Phoenix side stepped. She pinned him to the floor as she opened her communicator.

"Cy, I've got X, but he got Rob first. Can you come pick him up, like, NOW!" she screamed the last word because X flipped pinning her to the ground instead of him.

"Bye-Bye beautiful, I'll definitely be seeing you later." She could only watch as he pushed the x in the middle of his belt, and as he disappeared. Grabbing the communicator, she spoke again, "Never mind, Cy, he got away."
