Selfish Motives

Chapter 1

Robin was crouching atop of one of the tallest buildings in Jump. So far there had been one robbery and three car thefts.

Below, the sounds of shouting and screaming were heard a mere block away. As if on cue, Robins' communicator played a familiar tune.

"Yo Robin, there's a robbery at the bank a block away from Wayne Enterprises." Cyborg said with the other titans in the background, all fitting into the T-car.

"I'm on my way"

"We'll meet you there." With that Robin was jumping from Roof-to Roof until he landed down in front of the bank.

Stepping past the police and into the building, he swathe one person he hated more than anything else (with the exception of Slade).

"X, drop the money now." Red X shook his head as if the Titans leader was merely child's play. "You'll have to catch me first." Instead of vanishing into thin air, X took off towards the banks back door, were there were no police guarding.

After running for what seemed like hours, Robin finally lost sight of Red X and found himself in the deserted part of the city. He decided to walk forward a little ways to see if X had stopped.

'There is no way the titans are going to believe me when I tell them I was chasing Red X. I mean the guy vanishes and then suddenly shows up again out of the blue.' Robin thought as he walked down the abandoned street.

The sudden rustle in a building nearby caught Robin's attention. Walking forward, he felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of his left shoulder. Hesitantly reaching back, he managed to pull out a dart.

Before Robin could even turn around, he was hit over the head with something blunt and heavy. Red X pulled Robins unconscious body away, leaving nothing but his communicator in the middle of the road.
