A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed! Yes, Jason is pretty smart but like most egotistical boys he can be quite dumb at times :) And yeah I'm trying to make sure they stay as in character as possible. Let me know if something seems odd or off or if there are any suggestions!
PS I know I said that this can be a stand alone fic, but it may help to read Herbal Tea and a Fruit Cup to get a little more background knowledge of what's happening here (Red X flirting with Star, Raven's side of things, things I'm too lazy to repeat, etc). :)

Anything for You

He's not really looking for twenties today.
He's looking for her.
Finally they arrive. Late.
"And here I was thinking I would get off free tonight," he says with an audible smirk.
"Not a chance, Red X. Give it up," Boy Blunder commands.
"And ruin the fun? Come on, kid. The show's just getting started." He can see Grayson bristle.
"Titans, GO!"
They scatter. Attacks are coming from all around. They're giving it their best effort. But X isn't the most coveted hired thief for nothing.
Robin is gritting his teeth and yelling at times as he fights X one to one. But X doesn't particularly like this type of combat with him because it might give Grayson a hint as to his identity. It's been a while, and his fighting has definitely changed and improved, but he doesn't want any unnecessary risks. X quickly manages to bind the angry leader. "It's ok, little Traffic Light. It'll be over soon."
"Hey, cutie. Lookin good," X nods to Starfire.
"You will not speak to me in such a manner!" Star yells furiously as she blasts him.
"That's ok. No words then. We can just dance," he says from next to her. She spins quickly but she's not fast enough.
She joins Robin in the pileup.
Next come Abbott and Costello. They're actually playing together nicely today. And they brought a 'friend'.
"New toy, huh? Nice," X appraises as he makes short work of it. As well as the duo.
Cyborg is not impressed.
"Azarath..."
Red X saved the best for last.
He can see the indecision in her eyes. It only lasts for a second, though.
And then she's shouting the rest of her incantation.
She misses.
He throws a few x's at her.
He misses too.
He (lightly) knocks her down and makes a break for it.
He's halfway down the back hall when he finds a knife at his throat.
She's behind him.
"Drop it," she murmurs, hands raised as she controls the knife.
"Anything for you, Sunshine," he drops the bag and teleports directly behind her. "See you around."
And he's gone.
