Robin awoke in bed startled from a horrific nightmare which had just occurred. Sweat dripped from his forehead down to his chin and continuous panting was conjured. He looked up at his clock and it was an hour after midnight. He tried remembering his dream but only blurry figures could be congregated in his mind. There was only one detail he could recognize for the moment, a red "x" blinding his sight.
The sweating had decreased and Robin's heart rate returned to its normal relaxed pace. He would return to sleep later but for now his mind was scattered with questions as usual. All that consumed his mind was the thought of that red "x" shining in his slowly detaching memory.
As the sun rose and created a glare through the window which had consumed half the space of the living room Robin sat lying on the couch, still dazed by his fuzzy dream. He stared blankly at the ceiling wondering what the "x" represented in his vision.
Awaken by the starting day; Starfire hovered into the main room of the tower which Robin had also been occupying. She flew past the couch oblivious of Robin and grabbed a carton of milk from the fridge. She eyed the room in search of other titans, and when none was found, she drank straight from the container. Robin arose from his meditating state and watched Starfire devour almost half of the remaining milk. Starfire glanced at the recently appearing Robin and spat the milk out all over the kitchen. The sound of dripping liquid echoed all through out the empty room. As Robin gave a smile to Starfire, she took the carton and hid it behind her back not noticing milk slithering down her lower lip which would surely give her away.
"Robin, you have appeared on the couch out of nowhere," Starfire started. "Tell me please how you did this?"
Robin chuckled to himself at Starfire's question, "I've been here all night, and I guess you just didn't notice me."
Starfire shifted over to Robin and asked, "Something bothers you friend Robin?"
Robin glanced down thinking about his nightmare and looked back up at the unaware Starfire. Her cheerful smile had always brightened up his day even though he never displayed that it had. "No, I'm alright. I just couldn't get to sleep I guess, I've got a lot on my mind," Robin said trying to hide the fact that his mind was almost creeping over the point of insanity because of his delusion.
The alien gazed in heavy confusion, "What really troubles you? I wish to know as a Titan and as your friend."
In anger Robin stood up and clenched his fist, "I told you! Nothing bothers me, alright?" Without even waiting for a quick response, Robin impatiently stomped out and stepped into the deep depths of his room.
Starfire slowly sat her self on the couch in wonder. Was it something I had said? Whenever I get involved with his troubles it just makes it worst, maybe I should go see him.
Starfire's thoughts were interrupted by the awoken Beast Boy. He stumbled into the living room and quickly took form of a lion. As a lion, BB made an earsplitting yawn which had shaken the entire tower surely awaking the other titans. He reformed back into his normal state and gave a gesture to Starfire. She ignored the wave and continued thinking.
Cyborg strolled into the room and stretched out the half of his body which had needed a morning stretching. He noticed Beast Boy and grabbed his entire body with just one hand and gave him an atomic noogie, "Haha! Hey dog, where's my breakfast?"
While trying to gasp as much air as possible while being clutched by the mighty strength of Cyborg, Beast Boy managed to get a couple words out, "How……would….you…..like your…eggs"
Cyborg released his grasp of Beast Boy and sat down trying to output an answer for BB. There was so much possibility with the one simple question that had been asked. Mouth drooled from his mouth at the thought of any type of eggs and finally he came to a decision, "All."
Beast Boy's eyes widened at the words which had come from Cyborg's mouth. He marched over to Cyborg and looked at him straight in the eye, "All? Are you crazy? Even I couldn't have –"
Beast Boy was interrupted by the sound of the alarm. Red lights flashed and lit up the whole tower. Every titan rushed by the television which had been displaying a map of the town. Starfire had avoided contact with Robin to avoid awkwardness. A red dot flashed by the city bank and was moving north of it.
"My readings say that it's Red X," Cyborg said while observing the map. "He's up to no good."
Robin had gone into a mental trance after hearing the reports. The red "x" in his dream must have been referring to Red X the criminal which had stolen the suit that Robin had made with his bare hands to disguise himself from Slade. Had I foreseen the crime happening? Robin kept on thinking until Raven bumped into him in a rush to go. Robin shook it off and ran off to the R-Cycle, and rode to right Red X, and maybe find some answers to his nightmare.
