Red as Blood

by RobinLover101

Ever heard of the flying Graysons? Well as it turns out this trio has something to hide, even if one of their member (Robin) doesn't know their little, or rather large, secret... What if Robin had an older brother? One he doesn't know about... And what if said brother happened to be, oh i don't know, Red X perhaps? And, hello, is that Slade?

4. Chapter 4

A/N Okay! I'm back after a very long hiatus! A few people reviewed on some of my stories that whipped me back into action, so here I am. (I also may have gotten distracted by watching lots of Doctor Who...) Anyway, onward!

Red X's POV (Still flash back. But on the bright side, we know that Robin makes it too a punching bag! (It was at the beginning of the story) But is it Slade's or the Titans? Just something to think about... MWHAHAHAHA)

I only looked at Slade after he had finished explaining his plan, then told him I need time to think about it as I walked to my room. I was frankly shocked by the ruthlessness of it and the sheer genius. Then, I felt bad for my brother... A man like Slade was a dangerous man. So why did I find myself nodding my head, agreeing to the plan? Perhaps it was my parents fault. When I was born, my parents were told that I died in the nursing room. I was really sold to the League of talons and stayed there until I went rogue. My parents accepted my death without a question and didn't look for me. Of course they had to leave on a tour days after my disappearance, but still! Who just gives up like that?

And then I found out about Richard. I left the League when I was 12 and heard that the circus was back in Gotham. That was the night they fell, and I heard the little boy scream, saw him practically fly down the latter and hug their lifeless bodies, covered in blood. I planned to take Dick into my custody (yes by kidnapping him but whatever...), but I was too late. He was shipped off to a center and was later adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne. Lucky kid. I thought that until one night, when I was sitting out side his widow, I heard small screams. Those screams broke my heart and, evidently, Wayne's heart as well. Every time my bother had a nightmare, Bruce was there to comfort him. Soon I found out about the whole 'Batman and Robin' gig and Tony Zucco's placement behind bars. I was never prouder of anyone before. An eight year-old filing away a guy as big as zucco. Nice.

Then the boy left the Bat and the whole thing with Slade started. And now I'm here. Lying on my bed contemplating a madman's plan. I'm sorry Dick...

A/N: Okay, like I've said before, short chapies. I'm really sorry about that... I have a short attention span... Well anyway, this was just a chapter explaining Red X. Next will be Slade's plan. Or will it? :)
