Hey wanted to give a quick note here. So I have been very busy lately, picking up my brother from school and just got a job and actually starting tonight.

So my story progression and making new chapters is going to slow down a lot, where I have more responsibilities.

But yea, new chapters for this and X Men will be longer, and new stories as well. I'm not abandoning fanfic, just it will slow down.

Anyways enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 1

2003

We see the Teen Titans, Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire as they are in a lair fighting off Slade's robot ninjas.

However the younger Robin looks over and sees a red tattered cape exit the top of the building.

"You guys hold them off. I will be back!" Robin yells as he rushes up the ladder to fallow the red cape.

As Robin reaches the top he sees the red tattered cape was on none other then Red X!

"You! Who are you!? How did you steal my suit!?" Robin asks angerly.

"HMP. If you want to know you will have to fight for it, Boy Wonder." X says in his deep masked voice, as he motions Robin to fight.

Robin grits his teeth and rushes over swinging his bo staff to hit the imposer, however X dodges the swings and backflips away from him throwing a couple of red x rangs forcing Robin to front flip over them and rush at X.

Robin jumps over and jump kicks at X, kicking his face and knocking him down, then grabbing the collar of his outfit he demands.

"WHO ARE YOU!?"

"Why you already know...Bruce was responsible for my death..." Red X explains.

"What!?"

"Yes...Bruce's blood is on your hands now!" He yells as he pulls off his mask to show a skull with a red x on the forehead.

Robin drops him as he looks at his green gloves and sees red blood dripping off them.

"No...It can't be...NOOOO!" Robin yells as X's voice echo's in his head.

Just then Dick Greyson wakes up with a gasping for air while his body is sweating.

Present Day

He is in bed with his clock reading 3am with the drowsy moon shining light into the room.

The bedroom being located in The JSA HQ.

"Dick? Are you ok?" Starfire asks with a drowsy voice, waking up and hugging him.

"Y-Yea...Just had a nightmare...No big deal..." Dick says wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Well.. on my planet dreams show what we are thinking about most...Your nightmare may of been something on your mind." Starfire suggests as she rubs his chest with a circular motion.

"It's nothing. Really." Greyson says as he lays back down.

"Well..You know you can tell me what it is if it's bothering you...I'm here for you." Starfire says her voice low and kinda flirty.

"*Sighs...* Recently I have been having dreams about Red X..." Dick admits.

Starfire's eye widen hearing his name again after so long "Him? Why all the sudden are you having dreams about him?" She asks concerned.

"I don't know...I just feel like he haunting me, and the one behind his mask...I still don't know who stole the suit..." He responds feeling down.

"Don't worry...He is long gone. We don't need to worry about him." Star says hugging him more closely.

"Thank you. I needed support from you." Greyson says leaning over and giving her a kiss on the lips, before falling asleep with her.

However little did they know crouching on a nearby rooftop, Red X spies on them from a far with a scope.

He then puts the scope away, looking the the tower with his bold skull mask before jumping down into the sewers.

Nerdman proudly presents New JSA! Mystery of Red X!

The next morning the the couple wake up and start getting dressed.

"So today is going to be somewhat special." Nightwing says as he gets his red and black outfit on.

"Oh really? How so?" Starfire asks when she gets her outfit on.

"Well, The Titians and New JSA are going to meet up. For the JSA has some other assignments." Greyson explains.

"OHH! How wonderful! Friends are the best!" Starfire says with joy.

Later on the JSA and Titans all meet up at a pizza place to chat and discuses some plans.

"So, The Green Lantern core are doing some patrols out in the Galaxy and need my assistance." Kyle explains.

"Very cool. Jessie?"

"Barry, Wally, and I are going to travel to Egypt. Rumors of super natural activity going on over their. So we are heading over to see the problem." Jessie explains.

"Very nice. What about you Superboy?" Nightwing asks.

"Well. Wondergirl and I are going to Themiskira for a honeymoon of such. See the world you know?" Superboy says.

"Awesome. So while you all are out. Me and the Titans will be patrolling and making sure the city is safe." Nightwing explains.

"Very cool. We wish you all the best." Jessie says as the other JSA members get up and head out.

Green Lantern flies off to space, Superboy and Wondergirl fly overseas, and Jessie zooms over to Barry and Wally's.

"Well Titans. I will pay for the pizza, then we can do whatever you want." Nightwing says paying for the pizzas then split up to patrol the city.

Night time rolls around and we see Nightwing jumping from rooftop to rooftop with a big smile on his face.

He quite enjoys doing parkour at night and lands on one more to catch his breath.

He grabs an energy drink from his belt and starts drinking it then calls up his team.

"Hey guys. Just checking up on you guys and seeing if anythings going on." Nightwing asks.

"Everything is chill so far." Cyborg says driving around in the Titans van.

"All good here!" Beast Boy says munching on a sandwich in a trash can while he is a raccoon.

"Sounds good...Hmm?" Nightwing says as he looks down and sees some crooks trying to break into a car.

"I will call you guys back." Dick says as he hangs up and jumps down, grabbing onto ladders to slow his fall then landing on the ground.

"Hey! Didn't anyone tell you jerks that is kinda illigel to steal cars and parts?" Nightwing asks spinning his clubs as he looks at the three crooks, wearing black hoodies and red bandannas over their mouths.

"Ohh look boys. It's the boy wonder." One crook says tapping his crowbar on his hand.

The three crooks each have a different weapon, one has a crowbar, one has a flashlight, and one has a kitchen knife.

"Boy Wonder? I haven't been called that in a long time. How do you jerks know about that?" Nightwing asks.

"Let's get em!" The crook with a flashlight says as he swings it at Nightwing, however he effortlessly dodges the swings, then wacks the weapon out of his hand with his club, then hits the crook in the chest knocking the air out of him, as he falls onto the ground.

Then another with a crowbar rushes with an overhead swing, but Greyson raises his clubs holding the attack back, then kicking him in the chest, knocking the crook back, then jumps and kicks the crook in the head knocking him out!

The last one swings his knife aggressively with Dick dodging the cuts, then grabs the knife and pulls it away from his hand, kicking him in the chest, grabbing his head and slamming him into the wallyway walls with a loud sound echoing as he is knocked out cold!

"Heh. That was fun. Now then, let's make sure they did'nt steal anything." Nightwing says as he approached the car they where trying to steal from.

However he sees a red x stuck onto to with a count down timer beeping on it.

He quickly realizes what's going on and jumps away just as the bomb explodes knocking him back and destroying the car completely.

Nightwing struggles to get up, but just as he does he sees Red X looking down at him from the top of the building and runs away.

"HEY! Get back here!" Nightwing yells as he jumps up the ladders then gets on top of the building and gives chase to X.

Red X jumps off that food and lands on another continuing to run with Nightwing close behind.

"Stop you bastard!" Dick yells getting more and more angry.

Eventually then jump onto another roof leaving Red X nowhere to jump to next.

"It's over X! You have nowhere to escape to. Now tell me, how did you find my suit and who are you?" Nightwing asks pulling out his clubs.

"Heh. It's been over 20 years and you still want to know? You hold a grudge bad Robin." Red X says as they walk circles around each other.

"I want to know who the hell you are and why you stole my suit and gadgets."

"HA! Your suit and gadgets? You threw them away like garbage and a broken tool. But I saw them with the potential and utilized it." X says.

"HMP. Enough talk. Are you going to run away like a bitch or are you going to face me?" Dick says tightening hands hands around his clubs ready for anything.

"It's been a long time sense we had a real fight. Why not." X says pulling out his X Blades.

"Nightwing lunged, his clubs whistling through the air, each swing fueled by years of unanswered questions. Red X danced back, agile and taunting, his X Blades slicing through the night. One blade scraped harmlessly against Nightwing's club, but the second found its mark, tearing a burning line across his chest. Dick grunted, clutching the wound as anger and pain flared in his eyes."

"Heh. Getting rusty Robin?"

Dick grits his teeth, connects his clubs and turns it into his bo staff, swinging it at Red X.

X blocks with staff attacks with the X rangs deflecting them before throwing two more as they turn into adhesives and sticks to the bottom half of his bo staff to were it's stuck to the roof.

Nightwing quickly disconnects the bo staff leaving him with one club he has so much energy he charges with rage.

X moves swiftly around his attacks however Nightwing manages to land a hard punch at his jaw, causing him to stumble backwards.

"MMM...That hurt...Felt pretty damn good." Red X says rubbing his jaw only then dashing over and kicking Nightwing hard in the chest and punching him in the face! Knocking him down!

However nearby Starfire is flying around the city, but sees Nightwing down and she quickly flys over blasting near X.

As she lands her eyes widen as she sees him, "You're...Red X..."

"Ah! Starfire! Good to see you. How have you and the team been?" X asks.

"What have you done to Nightwing and why have you returned all the sudden!?" Starfire asks holding up her hands ready to blast him and protect Greyson.

"Wouldn't you like to know. Well I'm running late so I will make this quick." X says throwing a red smoke bomb covering their vision.

As she looks around to try and blast him, suddenly a couple of sticky X rangs hit her sticking her legs together and her arms in a cross position so she can only struggle to move then one more smaller sticky X sticks to her mouth so she can't speak either.

As the smoke clears Nightwing sees Starfire barley able to move and gagged and Red X standing near the edge of the roof.

"Well Robin, it's been fun, but I have important stuff to do. So I will catch you later." X says as he jumps off the building and uses a grapple hook to close a sewer lid as he falls into the sewers.

"MMPH!" Starfire yells muffed as Nightwing rushes over to try and pull off the Xs however they are so sticky they just hurt when being pulled.

"Don't worry. I will have the team meet up at the Tower and I will get us their..." Nightwing says picking her up and jumping down then rushing to The Titan Tower.

Meanwhile at the Tower the rest of the Titans all arrive wondering what's the big deal, but then Nightwing bursts through the door, roughed up and his chest bleeding.

"Please...Help Starfire..." Greyson says as he passes out...

Meanwhile we see Red X as he exits the sewers and as he looks at the Jump city prison with some intent!

What is Red X planning? Will Nightwing and Starfire be ok? Find out in the next chapter! Thank you for reading and please consider a review.
