Red X's POV

"What are you doing here? And what did you do to Raven?" Robin started swinging that insanely annoying bo staff of his around, and I just dodged and blocked, not bothering to fight back. That wasn't what I was there for.

"Chill out wonder boy, I didn't do anything to her. It's not my fault she just so happened to pass out as soon as I came in here! And besides, I'm on your side! For the moment..."

"Yea, Robin! Wait a sec! I mean, he did help us out the other day..." The green bean had a point. Robin hezitantly took his bo staff out of my face, finally...

"So, what just happened with Raven?" I asked, way confused. I mean, it's not like I wanted her hurt just because we were on different sides of the law...

"Don't know, dude. You popped in here, and Raven-"

"Shut up for a sec!" Robin interupted. "I think she's waking up!"

Raven's POV

I started opening up my eyes, but immediately closed them again, the bright lights of the room bothering my eyes. Slowly, I cracked them open.

"You okay?" asked Robin, offering me a hand up. I took it, and he lead me to the couch. I nodded my head, realizing he was waiting for a reply. I just hoped that he wouldn't realize I was lying, through the bond. If he knew the real reason I passed out...

"I told you playing videogames messes with your head..." I muttered, causing Robin to smirk, and Beastboy to pout. Red X just looked confused- wait, X? "What are you doing here?" I asked, jumping up from the couch. As soon as I had, I wished I hadn't. My face turned a bright red, as X helped me stand. As soon as my head stopped spinning, I turned out of his grip. "So I ask again: what are you doing here?"

"Uh... I had nothing better to do?" he shrugged, and I could tell at once that he was hiding something.

"The real reason?" Robin asked, coming to the same conclusion. He shrugged again, and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

"I really don't have a good reason. I thought it'd be fun to come bug you guys. Say, where are the others? It's no fun when I only get to bother two of you." I wasn't planning on giving him a straight answer, but he cut off whatever reply I was ready to give. "Oh yea, that's right. They're busy playing pops at GHS, right?"

"What do you know?" asked Beastboy immediately.

"Plenty. But like I said before, I'm not here for a fight." He started pacing around. "Say, Robin, you went to GHS, didn't you?" Robin froze.

Robin's POV

"Excuse me?" I asked him. "I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

"I asked, Bird Brain," Red X asked rather slowly, as if talking to a three year old, "Didn't you go to GHS, at least, the first time around?"

"What would make you think that?" I asked, silently cursing at myself, realizing how defencive I was sounding.

"Well, it could be the fact that it's one of the only non crappy and or non private school in Gotham. You grew up there."

"Not exactly." I refused to give him a straight answer, but couldn't help but correct him. It bothered me that everyone thought that just because I worked in Gotham, that I was from Gotham.

"I've heard that you're going to some other school, which one?"

"Why do you want to know?" I countered.

"Why aren't you honest with your friends?" he asked back. I stared for a moment, not knowing what he meant exactly. Did he know I was at GHS with my friends? Or something else?

"I am honest with them." I answered with a straight face. The only thing I hadn't told them was that I was in the same school as them, and my own identity. Other than that...

"Sure you are, bird boy. I bet you haven't even told them your name. And you've known them how long? Five or so years?"

"It's not your buisness what I have or have not told them."

"Well the green bean gave it away." Confused, I turned to Beastboy, and caught his curious expression. X could tell- he knew nothing.

"How can you trust this guy, Rave?" He asked. "You don't know a thing about him."

"I do, and I can trust him. I've no reason not to."

"Accept the fact that he worked for a psycho."

Beastboy's POV

Okay, so Red X had a point. Robin had worked for Slade... but of course, that was only to save us... right?

"Did Robin even tell you about his apprenticeship? That's a story I'd love to hear." Red X said, leaning against the couch.

"It's none of your buisness what happened back then, X." Robin spat, and I could tell it was taking all of his self control not to hit the bad guy sitting on our couch.

"But it's not their buisness either? Or Batman's?" he asked back. Robin bit his lip, nervous. How much did X know anyway? "Tell me salad head, do you know anything about wonder boy's time working for metal mask?"

"Why do you wanna know, dude?" I asked back. It felt like we were playing the questions game on "Who's Line."

"Just curious." He said. "Just like Batman is."

"What are you talking about?" Robin hissed. He was like, beyond freaking out.

"Don't you think the Bat wants to know why you broke into his building wearing some metal crap all over you? You can't possibly think he didn't see the security footage... or did he? I mean, you knew all the codes, how to break in without setting off alarms... you could've gotten in without him even knowing. Or maybe you set off an alarm on purpouse, planned it all so Batman would come rescue-"

"Shut up!" Robin shouted, and me and Raven had to hold him back. If we hadn't, X would've been a bloody mess. "You don't know what you're talking about! You don't know anything! If all you came here for is to bug us, you've succeded! Now get out!" Somehow Robin got out of me and Rae's grips, and lunged for X. He transported out. We thought he was gone, till he popped up on the other side of the room.

"Oh, Raven, I forgot to give this to you." he threw something at Raven, which she caught. It was some book.

Red X's POV

I smirked under the mask, seeing Raven's confused look. I then turned to Robin, just for a final jab. I couldn't resist driving him nuts. "Now Robin, is that any way to act in front of a lady? Like a crazed psycho? You're parents wouldn't be proud." I again transported to the other side of the room, seeing as he was charging at me like a pissed off bull. How to finish this off...

"Now, circus boy, listen up." I had his attention now, seeing as he was practically frozen at the use of his old nickname. I mean, I basically just told him I know his identity. "Just one last thing, I thought I should let you know, bro: Zucco's out." I watched as his jaw dropped. He understood the message, loud and clear. I disapeared from the tower, not sticking around for his reaction. I knew it wouldn't be pretty.

So, love? hate? want to burn? want to worship? let me know! flames are welcome just as much as loverly sappy comments :D
