[No rest? Heh, yeah, that was the God's-honest-truth. Red X had been traveling from city to city with the inactivity of the do-gooder brigade, robbing a bank, casino, or any other challenging vault in every major city across the country. He had amassed millions of dollars now in stolen funds, all hidden in fake bank accounts under hacked names that didn't exist in the real world. It was all too easy, and he had enough money now to never work a day in the rest of his life. But really, why stop there? More money is always preferable to less money, and besides; robbing people blind was fun.

The anti-hero had snuck up on Raven, who seemed way too distracted to notice Red X approaching her like a wildcat stalking its prey. Raven, Starfire... they were both way too hot to be prancing about in a superhero entourage. Especially Raven; her personality didn't fit the whole 'justice for the sake of justice' persona. What kind of demon-princess enforces earthly law, anyway? It was an irony among ironies. She should be out seducing people into ( ... )

In all honesty, he had snuck up on her. Raven had only her careful schooling of her emotions to keep her from jumping in surprise. Even a reaction so innocuous could cause something horrible to happen on the other side of the world. Gently lowering herself to the ground, her boots landed with a clack! and she turned to face Red X, her mouth set in a grim line. Typical. Just like him to show up where he wasn't wanted.

"The 'boyscout' has nothing to do with it," she replied, impassively, though she could feel her temper raging slightly at the implication that she was anything to Robin other than a friend. Strangely enough, Red X was the only one with any such delusions. "I wouldn't waste my time coming after you. You'll get yourself caught, without my help."Raven eyed him warily, lowering her shoulders as she slid into a stance that was both balanced and feigning some sort of calm. She wasn't really in top form for a fight; hadn't slept in days, eating was just a matter of going through the motions .. But Raven couldn't imagine another ( ... )

Sure he didn't. Raven just wandered all the way to Gotham for the sake of a vacation, just as Red X happened to be there, and on the night he stole three quarters of a million dollars from a bailout fund. Just as the money was going to be delivered, there Red X was, swiping it right from under the nose of the business. It was absolutely hysterical; he only wished he could have been there to see their reaction, when they found the briefcase totally empty.

"Get myself caught? By who, a bunch of faceless cops?" Red X said, nearly laughing. If the Teen Titans couldn't stop him when they were united, how could a bunch of faceless Joes even cause him to break a sweat? "Simple. I caught wind of one of your group in the city, so I just had to find out which of Robin's little friends it was. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be you."

Was she never going to escape the idea that she was working ''for'' Robin? She had been the one who had gotten the gang back together in the first place, and now she was trapped, ever associated with the Teen Titans. It was a testament to his narcissism that he dared to think she was on that rooftop waiting for him, or even watching him. It was an insult, and under the surface, anger bubbled.

"You'll get caught somehow. They always do in the end," she replied, with a hint of weariness in her voice. Tracking down criminals .. was that really her purpose in life? Robin was the one with the passion, passion that had been passed on to him by Bruce Wayne. Kori would follow Robin to the end of the earth. Beast Boy & Cyborg were on their own planet. But Raven. Was she really meant to be tracking down scum like Red X for the rest of her (extended) life?

Her eyes narrowed slightly. "What is that supposed to mean? I would have thought you would want me to be Starfire, the way you gape and gasp over her. I'm sorry to be such a disappointment ( ... )
