"Why do you need Robin?" Raven demanded. Nightwing grimaced.

"I don't have time for this." Nightwing said pushing past Starfire. Cyborg powered up his sonic blaster.

"Then make time." Cyborg said dangerously, blocking Nightwing's path.

Nightwing ran a hand through his hair. He really didn't have time for this. If the Titans didn't know where Robin was, Nightwing was running out of leads fast.

"Look. The TLDR of it is that Robin's missing and I need to find him." Nightwing responded edgily.

"Robin disappears all the time. Why are you so sure that he's missing?" Cyborg snapped.

"I. Don't. Have. Time. For. This." Nightwing growled, suddenly charging Cyborg.

Nightwing performed a front walkover on Cyborg's shoulders and dashed out the door. With a few keystrokes on his glove-computer and without breaking stride, Nightwing cut power to the lights and vanished, leaving a tower of confused teen heroes in his wake.


In another part of town, Red X paced a rooftop, awaiting the arrival of his informant.

Suddenly, Red X froze stone still. Then the thief chuckled to himself.

"You're late." He spoke into the night. A shadow seemingly melted from the wall.

"I ran into some trouble." The silhouette responded. Red X made a noise of discontent.

"Titan Trouble?" He asked, turning to face the figure. The shadow shrugged.

"Of a sort. They don't know where Robin is." Red X seemed interested, so his companion continued, "In addition to losing their leader, they had a visitor earlier tonight: our little bluebird.

"Did he get anything?" Red X asked, surveying the cityscape once more.

"Only what I told you, but he has the case files from Robin's computer. If you ask me, it's only a matter of time before they figure it out." Red X tossed a murderous glare at his associate.

"I didn't ask you. Find Robin before anyone else can; That's an order." Red X snarled. The figure melted back into the shadow of the wall with an affirmative.

"Just you wait, my little birdy. I'll find you. And I'll make them all pay for what they've done." Red X vowed. Under his mask, a malevolent grin grew on Red X's face.
