X

It was 1 am and the dark streets of jump city were as quite as they could be... at least they would be if it weren't for that damn police siren going off every 3 seconds and the screams of the people running from the 1st national bank now a graveyard of broken cement and a litter of red objects that were either embedded into the walls or were thrown onto the floor. they were the top of technology these days and in the hand of a madman could cause serous destruction. these devices all had many differences whether it be size or the material, but they all had one thing in common, they all resembled an X.

Red X.

the owner of these lethal devices stood a mere 70 feet away from the tattered building admiring his handy work. the "indestructible" safe was protruded on top of its self, and its sides were covered in gaping holes, (he had done this on purpose just to be ironic with himself). he loved what he did and what he did, he did very well. he was a first class thief and proud of it, he enjoyed screwing with other people without getting fired and loved the fact that if he wanted something all he had to do was take it. so that's what he did, and with style. he was no ordinary thief trying to scrape by with what little they could steal, if he wanted too he could settle down right now, but of course he never would. This was just too fun.

X must have examining his work too long because out of the blue came the call that he and every other villain in Jump City have learned to loathe.

"TITANS GO!"

X whirled around just in time to see a blazing ball of green light hurling towards his face...great...

X felt the energy ball fly past his ear and made a mental note not to make the alien mad. He turned his attention back to the array of teenage mega humans in front of him... beast boy (a green boy in need of a growth spurt, with the power to turn into a spider... god im shaking in my boots) on the left was raven (a goth chick with serius mental issues) to bbs right was cyborg (to be honest, X was a little intimidated by his size but with the right tool, he could easily break this wind up toy) in the middle was robin ( poster boy for justice and ax hair gel, he was a little challenge, but just a little) then there was Starfire on the far right (cute girl sporting a mini skirt, that could fly and could almost match his strength, god that was kinda hot) X stopped gapping at the cute alien and turned his attention back onto the birdarang that was now flying in his direction. X maneuvered around it and focused his attention on the goth that was speeding towards him with black energy surrounding her entire body, were her eyes glowing?, (did i mention she was mental!) X jumped up and leap over her head doing a front flip and dropping an elastic X onto her arm which coiled around her making moving impossible.

"shit! really, again!" raven screamed at him as she tumbled to the ground attempting to free herself.

Beast boy turned into a rhino and stomped toward the masked thief. X shot him with a red gooey substance that stuck him to the far wall.

"ewwww!!!! dude! what the hell is this stuff anyway?" beast boy ranted as he tried to pull the substance off his uniform. ( did you know what red gooey stuff does to cashmere?!) He attempted to change into bigger animals but that just got him more stuck. raven also tried to free herself from her bonds but she couldn't move her hands and the X had coiled down to her feet making standing not an option.

X couldn't help but chuckle as he saw the green imp tug at his binds while the purple haired queen of darkness swore he head of... ha... she would if the binds hadn't started to seal her mouth shut!...all because of him isn't he amazin..... x's thought was cut short by a jet of blue light bursting towards him and slamming him into a wall followed by a " boo-yah!" and a jab in the ribs by none other than the neon wonder him self, robin! what a great day!

robin attempted to hit x with his bow staff again but X blocked with his razor sharp x blades. for 2 minutes the boys battled it out but x knew he was eventually going to run out of gadgets so he put one major blow onto the boy wonders chest and he sailed backwards did a flip then landed on his this kid just doesn't know when to quit !

X Was just about to turn on the tinker toy robot, who kept slamming him with rays of blue energy, (which was starting to get on his nerves) but he saw a purple boot surging towards his face. the alien had quick moves but x was quicker he easily grabbed her foot just inches from his face and flung her towards the ground. Starfire fell onto her back with an "oomph"

"STARFIRE!" robin screamed and ran to her side the minute she hit the ground. She was fine of coarse (tarmaranians have thick skin DUH!) And she and robin returned to the fight. robin was of coarse mad so he immediately attacked X with a kick to his chest. X jumped back up quickly and dodged another one of robins attacks.

"you know you should make a move on the girl before someone else takes her..." X toyed as he looked over and gestured to a very confused Starfire.

robin stopped punching and looked at red for an awkward moment until red said

"i mean she is pretty cute, and i love red heads" this snapped robin back into action and he kicked up towards X's face. this is what x was waiting for, he grabbed robins foot twisted it then with a satisfying surprised look from the bird he flung him into cyborg who in turn hit a wall which crumbled on top of them.

"ouch". The thief remarked as he looked over the remains of both heroes now covered in ruble.

X dusted off his shoulders and turned to find himself looking into two glowing green eyes, and the one who they belonged to did not look real happy. she held up a glowing hand to him and growled. (well kinda)

"hey cutie you might want to put those away, you could take someone's eye out." X teased as he dropped his fighting stance and looked at her with his usual cockiness.

"do not call me cutie." she remarked as she continued to glare intensely at him.

"well i could call you some other names but i don't think you would like those either" he wanted to poke at her just to see how far he could go before shed explode. "or is it just because only robbypoo can call you that?"

she let her stance fall and she blushed. "robin does not do the dating, or have time for the names of the nick, he is far too busy tracking down Slade." an instant frown came upon her face at the sound of his name.

"or he just doesn't like you." (yup, still poking)

her sadness was replaced by anger her eyes lit back up and she sent a ball of bright green energy hurtling towards him. he was of course expecting this so he easily avoided it.

"why do you care if me and robin are engaged in a relationship!" she yelled at him while still trying to throw a decent punch at the ever so cunning villain.

"because, cutie....its more fair to fight you when your mad..."

Starfire threw a punch at his head and he ducked and sent his leg swinging that hooked onto hers which in turn sent her tumbling to the ground. he leaned over her body and she could tell he was smirking underneath his mask.

"but even so, life isn't fair..." Starfire's eyes grew wide as X shot a small device at his arm, the x latched on and she screamed as an electric current was sent through her whole body. when her screaming stopped X checked her pulse and rendered her unconscious. then he looked into ravens and beast boys scared eyes (they where still trapped in some sort of sticky red mess).

"relax! she's fine, i wouldn't kill her if that's what you thought." x snickered. raven and beast boy passed relived glances then turned their attention towards X, who was now looking around quite satisfied with himself.

"well i think that will do it for the day, you kids should come visit me another time, i just love these little get-togethers..."

with that x pressed a single button on his belt and vanished into the air leaving an unconscious alien, 2 heroes berried under ruble, and a very trapped raven and beast boy wondering how the hell they where going to explain this one to their neon spandex wearing leader. (hahaha! spandex!)

X felt his molecules disappear and fade from the trashed buildings and the titans. he was squished through an all too familiar area. time stopped and he stood alone in a completely dark room. he was in between time and space. this is what the zythonium did for him and he loved every minute he wore that mystical belt (complements of bird boy). X then closed his eyes and focused his mind on his bedroom the shape, the colors, and the location. he opened his eyes and saw he was looking into the face of a bright light, he sighed and walked into it. the light vanished and he felt himself get squeezed yet again through the portal. when he opened his eyes he was in his unkempt bedroom, the door on one wall was shut tight while the other stood open slightly so you could see his dirty sink and bathroom, on the far side of the room lay a bed pressed against the right wall which hadn't been made in a long time, a desk stood next to it with papers and blueprints of banks and buildings sued about, and the cream carpeted floor was covered with so many dirty clothes that you couldn't even see it.

"home sweet home" x mumbled to himself as he unlatched his uniform and retrieved the 5,000$ bill that was tucked safely inside (yes, they make those in jump city). he placed it in his safe in his closet and locked it tight. when he turned around he smelt something strange.

"P.U! What the fuck is that smell!" x managed to say as he plugged his nose and searched for the source. he looked under his bed and found the cause. rotten anchovies and pepperoni pizza. after retrieving the concoction he peeled off a sock that was stuck to the top and threw the pizza away. (sorry if any of you reading this can never eat pizza again).

"red x," he quoted in a cheesy game show host voice "kick ass thief in the day time," he picked up the matching sock from a forming mountain of clothes on the ground and held it in front of his nose. "maid at night." x sniffed it, made a sour face then threw it back onto the ground.

"man, i am so relived no one can see this disaster..." X said as he laid himself down on the couch (the only object in the room not entirely dominated by socks) And fell into a tired sleep, it had after all been a very busy day.

but oh how x could never be more wrong. for at that moment a man was sitting in a huge chair in front of several monitors watching x sleep fitfully on the couch and reruns of his fight with the infamous titans 20 min. ago. he was engaged in a certain part of the battle scene, the alien girl had just been knocked down and even though it wasn't a hard hit robin had immediately gone to her side to tend to her, the man smiled.

"aw, it seems as though my little bird has a soft spot for red-heads" he said as he smirked to himself.

he rewound the tape and watched X kick the living shit out of all the titans.

"and this "Red X", im impressed by him, he may be of some use to me." he looked at robin who was now in freeze frame on one of the monitors. "you will be mine, my little bird, just wait." the man turned around in his chair and even though it was dark the screens gave enough light to see just a glimmer of a bronze mask...
