Ch.5
Heyooooo here's chapter 5. Also I'm trying to make these chapters longer than before, I feel like they're a bit too short. Again I'm going to try. Anyway lets get on with the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans or any other characters or products. But I do own this cool 'Flying Graysons' phone case, I got it for 10 bucks online score!.
Robin walked into the room outside or the interrogation room where his teammates awaited for him.
"Look guys, I feel like theres something that he isn't telling us. Something that may be important to figuring out what happened yesterday." Robin spoke.
The Green Changeling spoke up "Ya, like the dude actually goes to school. I bet he's just a drop out and trying to hide it" he concluded with his arms crossed. With a grin growing on his face, Beastboy spoke again.
"Dude Robin, if he's all tied up we could totally take off his mask and see who he is!" he proclaimed.
Robin paused for a moment, Beastboy was right. If they knew who Red X was they'd be able to track him at all times, see if his story really adds up. But then again, Robin knew of the importance of having that secret identity, but he's not a criminal. Red X is. So different circumstances.
"I don't know Beastboy" the Boy Wonder concluded
"Oh c'mon! He's a sitting duck! We could totally do it!" the Changeling retorted.
Sighing Robin looked at the rest of his team and spoke "What do you guys think? Should we unmask him? See if his story really adds up?"
Raven with an indifferent look on her face simply shrugged, Cyborg on the other hand looked more than excited about it.
"Man I've been dying to know who was under that skull mask forever now, I'm with B on this. Lets unmask him, and put a stop to his petty thieving" he spoke through a grin.
"What about you Star? Do you think we should unmask him?" Robin called out.
"Friends what difference would it make if are to unmask the Red X?"
"Dude! What difference will it make!? If we unmask him then we could check his records and see if he's really telling the truth." Beast Boy yelled out. Speaking again "Plus we can see if Robin has any competition in the looks department for a certain someone" he said through a smirk.
"But I do not understand why would friend Rob-"
"He's joking Star don't pay attention to him" the teen leader spoke.
"What about you Raven? You haven't said anything on the subject" the Boy Wonder spoke again.
"I don't need to know who he is. He practically screams of his identity."
"Wait! So you've known who he is this whole time?" Beast Boy yelled out
"I didn't say I know who he is, it's just his emotions practically scream out who he is"
"I'm not following" the Changeling said scratching his head.
"His emotions whenever we've fought him aren't that of any other criminal. For instance if it's someone like Mad Mod. His emotions are that of confidence or invincible against us. But Red X, whenever we fight him it's like a game. He's happy or whatever. It's hard to explain."
There was a pause after Raven spoke. Until a certain ebony haired hero spoke out amongst his teammates.
"I think I get what you're saying. It's like he's not afraid of us when we fight or what happens to him"
"Exactly" the Empath spoke.
Given the somewhat new found knowledge of the petty villain, Beast Boy decided to call out once more.
"C'mon guys! You can't tell me you're not more curious about who he is now! He acts like it's a game, let's just go in there and rip off his mask since it's just a 'game'. It's that simple!" BB cried through flailing arms.
"I agree with friend Beast Boy, if the Red X believes it is a game then let us put an end to mouse and feline chase" the Tameranean called out.
"Uh Star, I think you mean 'Cat and mouse game'" Beast Boy replied.
Unlike his teammates Robin was a bit reluctant to ripping off Xs mask, when he himself wears a mask. But then again Robin thinks back to all the times going up against Slade, and of those times he'd try vainly to remove the orange and black mask to find who laid beneath. Well that settled it, Robin decided to go ahead with his teammates plan. Time to rip off that cursed skull mask.
"Alright" the teen leader called out
"We're gonna go take off his mask-" Robin didn't get to finish his sentence due to a certain green changeling.
"Yes! Dudes I'm totally gonna enjoy ripping that stupid mask off his face. Ha I bet he's-"
"Beast Boy! You aren't going to take it off. I am, since I'm conducting this interrogation"
"Aw dude c'mon, it was my idea. You wouldn't be taking it off if it wasn't for me"
"No. Look BB I know you want to do this, but we need to be professional about this. I don't need you going in there and potentially messing up. Not saying that you would, but we can't be too sure"
With the final statement from the Boy Wonder, Beast Boys ears drooped in disappointment.
"Can I at least be in there with you when you take it off. Ya know for backup" The changeling attempted to add.
Unfortunately for him the teen leader saw right through his plans, after a moment of what BeastBoy would consider to be awkward silence , the Boy Wonder just left for the next room.
Once again the Green Changeling was disappointed. But he did managed to convince Robin into taking off X's mask.
Beast Boy 1
Robin 0
When the Boy Wonder got back into his seat there was an eerie quiet. The other Titans in anticipation of what was to happen.
Clearing is voice Robin spoke. "Listen Red X. As someone who also wears a mask I can understand the want to conceal your identity-"
Rex X couldn't believe what he was hearing, was Robin seriously going to do what he thinks he's going to do?
Judging by what Red X is hearing he could take that as a yes.
"-Sorry but not sorry. Like I said, there's a difference between me and you. I'm a hero, and you're not."
To hell with that, Red X was not going to make it easy for Robin to take off his mask. Oh man, Bruce is going to be mad at getting caught.
Struggling against the restraints against him, in a vain attempt to stop the Boy Wonder from taking off his mask.
But he was down pretty good. Damn Robin.
Said leader was closing in on Red X. 'Well, this is it. This is the end of my fun.' thought the petty villain.
With one hand on the top of the mask, it only took one swift motion for the mask to be gone.
To say the least Robin was the most surprised at what he saw. On the other side of the reflective mirror the 4 Titans were shocked at who was sitting in the chair.
The first to break the silence was surprisingly not Beast Boy, but was in fact Raven.
"Can't say I was expecting that, but it does make sense."
"Friends, isn't that-"
"Dude"
"Man, do ya'll realize-"
Back inside the interrogation room Robin was at a loss for words. Did Bruce know, was he in on this?
Does that mean he knows who Robin is?
All these questions were swarming through Robins brain. Finally the silence in the room was broken.
"Are you going to stand there and gawk bro or are you going to uncuff me?" Red X spoke, putting as much emphasis on the word 'bro' as much as he could.
Robin didn't let that go over his head. He may be the boy blunder at times, but this was not one of those times. Its obvious that X knows who he is, and thats not something that Robin wants his team to know. Not yet at least.
Leaning over to whisper in X's ear, Robin spoke rather harshly.
"Don't call me that, Jason. You should know that-" Robin didn't get to finish his sentence.
"Oh I should know? I'm not the one who took off your mask Dick!" X was not going to let Robin get away with that. It was at this point he didn't care if he got in trouble from their adoptive father.
On the other side Beast Boy said aloud "Dude, did he just call him a dick? Or was he saying that Robin is-"
Ohh a cliffy. Hahaha just kidding its kind of a no brainer who Robin is. I think everyone in this fandom knows, and if you don't you can just google it if you're that curious. Anyway sorry about the wait, but hope you enjoyed the chapter. Till next time leave a little review or comment. Thanks!
