(And a suggestion from one of my reviewers, at the moment, can't remember which one.)

Red X woke up slowly. He blinked and reached up. His mask was still in place, so that was good, but he had a splitting headache.

What had happened again? Then he remembered.

Epic Flashback of History!

Red X grinned as below, the titans were tearing the whole building apart for him. Well, he got his prize. He could leave.

It was just so much fun to see the bird boy pissed off.

Then his communicator beeped. Crap, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't have enough time to get ready for the date between him and the Ravager.

He teleported from the building and landed a block away from the base. He was running rather low on Xenothium... perhaps next time that is what he should get.

He walked about ten steps when he heard something. Red X didn't even have enough time to comprehend when someone hit him in the back of the head with something heavy.

Red X went down like a bag of potatoes.

Ending the Epic Flashback of History!

Red X sat up and groaned. Whoever did this moved fast and stealthily enough so he couldn't detect him, but was strong enough to knock him cold with a single hit.

There wasn't that many people that could do that, and far less that were in Jump City. In fact, he could only think of one, but... that was impossible.

"You awake, Damien Payne?" Red X nearly passed out from fright.

There, right in front of him, barely a couple steps away, stood Slade, AKA Deathstroke the Terminator AKA the father of the girl he was dating. Red X swallowed nervously and said, "I'm not Robin, if you must know." "I know."

Red X examined his surroundings. It was a cabin styled area, and currently, Slade was stoking the fire in the fireplace. His one eye was fastened on Red X's every move.

Red X laughed nervously and said, "So, what do you want, Deathstroke? I'm a thief for hire." "I'm not here to talk about that. And Slade, if you please." Slade. Red X had a gut feeling it was his real name, but that would be worthless without a last one. Red X nodded and said, "Slade. So, what do you want?"

Slade sighed and reached upwards, removing his mask. Red X's eyes nearly fell out. "I'm talking to you as I would a friend of sorts, so..." Slade didn't turn around and Red X got the memo.

He removed his mask and shook out his black scruffy hair. Ravager had been bothering him about getting it cut earlier. "The other one too, Damien." Red X's eyebrows raised, but he did as he was told.

When your scared of getting butchered, you do whatever your told. Slade turned around and Red X was surprised to see that he looked friendlier than what anyone would suspect. Except, of course, for the eyepatch. That was rather intimidating.

Slade stoked the fire again and said, "I'm here to talk about Rose." Aw, damn it. Red X laughed nervously, which sounded a bit more pathetic when he didn't have the voice scrambler. "Yeah, I kinda guessed that. Curious, how do you know my name?" "My daughter hides nothing from me." Crap on a stick.

Red X nodded. "So... what do you want to talk about?" He asked. Slade sat down in the chair across from Red X. "Just a couple things. How is she doing in the Syndicate?" Red X shrugged. "Well, both me and her are solo thieves, so we do pretty good." He said quickly.

Slade nodded. Red X decided to go back to being a smart ass and said, "I thought you talked about everything." Slade chuckled. "Your name took a lot of talking to get out of her." His one good eye looked up at Red X, and he was surprised to find out it was blue.

Slade smirked. "Here's something I'll order you to do though. Keep Rose safe. And remember... If I can sneak up on you once, I can do it twice. Just a thought to keep with you while you date my daughter." Slade looked at the fireplace and said, "I have business to do. Stay here until the fire burns out, then leave."

Slade walked out.

Red X sighed with relief. He didn't kill him. He didn't hurt him. Too badly, anyway.

Red X walked over and stoked the fire. Might as well not waste it.

He actually just chilled in the cabin for the next three hours.

When he went to leave, he found a backpack. Red X unzipped it and found another whole unit of Xenothium. Red X smirked. "Thanks, Slade."

(Slade is awesome like that. Scary, but cool.

Bye byes! Remember to review!)
