Red Robin was crouching on a roof ledge, watching Crime Alley and the surrounding rooftops. Beside him was Robin, who stood with his arms crossed.

Finally, Robin asked,"What are we doing? Clearly we should be looking into possible places Red X could steal from next. Though your clear ignorance doesn't surprise me."

Red Robin rolled his eyes,"No. I saw a short video on a camera near here. I was able to hack it so Oracle, if she hasn't already, doesn't see it. Anyways, Red X had taken out a thug trying to mug someone. From what I could tell, Red X seemed to care. So he might be trying to help people here."

Robin 'tt'ed but kept looking over the city. They were soon distracted by a gunshot. They both started running towards the noise.

Finally, they stopped and looked down. And it was a surprise to them what they were seeing.

Red X was defending a woman, who was holding onto her purse for dear life. The anti hero punched the thugs with no mercy, making small quips in between the hits. Soon he dispatched all five of them. He tied them up and knocked them out.

Red X's demeanor immediately changed. He turned around and carefully helped her up. He talked to her for a minute before he nodded and she walked/ran down the alley.

Red X then did something that surprised both vigilanties. He pushed something on his belt and disappeared. Then a voice came from behind them. "Well, I didn't know I had fans."

The two birds quickly drew their weapons at him, but Red X just stood there, unfazed. After a minute, he put up his hands and said,"I come in peace."

Red Robin hesitantly lowered his bow staff and stood straight up. Robin kept his pose. Red X shook his head and was no doubt rolling his eyes.

"Hey kid, see you haven't learned to lighten up since our last encounter. And you, Red," he said, now turning his attention to Red Robin,"last I checked I haven't really did anything that would draw your attention. So, why are you here?"

"We're here because we want to know exactly what you're doing here in Gotham. Heard you were last seen in Jump city."

Red X nodded,"Oh yeah, well you see it's kinda secret. But as I keep saying, it's not anything bad. Heck when I'm done I'm just gonna go back into the shadows."

Robin then relaxed his position slightly and asked,"Why did you disappear in the first place? From what I read you were an adequate thief."

Red X stiffened slightly but quickly regained his composer. The two noticed, but didn't bring it up.

Finally, he said,"Well, after a...mishap, I couldn't be Red X anymore. Plus, I was practically driven out by Robin, though now he's called Nightwing."

Red Robin nodded and then asked,"So if your a thief, why did you help her? I thought you only think for yourself."

"Yeah well, let's just say I know how bad these streets can be. And with Red Hood gone for now I thought I'd help."

Robin then asked,"How do you know he's gone?"

Red X hesitated but soon lied,"We met once, I owed him one and said I'd protect his city while he had to deal with something."

The two heroes eyed him warily but accepted the story. As the two were about to leave, Red X asked,"Do you guys have anything to do tonight?"

Robin immediately responded,"No. Why?"

Red X then grinned, though they couldn't see it.

"Well why don't we hang out. You two need to learn how to have fun, and I know how to have fun the right way."

Red Robin raised an eyebrow and asked curiously,"And hows that?"

Red X turned around but cocked his head to the side to look at them with one eye and said in a mischievous voice,"Why, vigilante style of course."

Red X high fived Red Robin as they landed on the roof, where Robin was drinking his milkshake.(Which he insisted he only took because it would be bad to waste it.) They looked below at their work.

Spray painted on a wall in blue was,

NIGHTWING IS A SHOWOFF

Robin smirked as Red Robin and Red X snickered. The two robins had only agreed because they had been both screwed individually by Nightwing that week. This was their way of getting payback. And earlier that night they had broken into a Red Robin restaurant (Which had Robin snickering while Red Robin grumbled) and got milkshakes and made food. They had left with a quick note and a hundred dollar bill on the counter.

Red Robin slouched over the side and resisted the urge to pull off his cowl and relax. He still had to be wary around Red X. But judging by tonight, he obviously was just a kid who wanted to have fun. Or, at least shouldn't be an immediate priority.

Later after Red X threw out all their milkshakes, (while hilariously saying with the last one,"This ***** empty, yeet!" and throwing it from the roof into the dumpster below) Red Robin shook his gloved hand.

"You know, if you decide to stop being a villain or whatever, you could be a great allie. I know Batgirl would love you."

Red X snorted in amusement but shook his head,"Sorry kid, but when I actually do stuff I prefer to work alone. But, if you guys are ever in a pinch, and I'm not busy, hollar for me. There's like a twenty five percent chance I'll hear it and come. Well, it's been fun, see you later."

And with that Red X disappeared into thin air again. Red Robin would have to learn how he did that. He turned to Robin, who had come beside him.

"This has been more fun than I thought it would."

Robin nodded his head.

Red Robin smirked and said,"Though we'll never talk of this night again, right?"

"Agreed."

"Yeah, well, race you home?"

Robin smirked at him,"Sure, though I will win, Drake."

Red Robin smiled at him,"Just try." He then threw a smoke bomb and ran. Robin followed after him, grinning. Soon they became just another two shadows into the night.

Ok sorry if these two are a little oc in this chapter, just wanted to let them have a little fun. And next chapter is...Nightwing! Thanks for reading.
