Who Knew

Raven mentally sighed with annoyance and frustration as she watched, what was the villans name again, oh yeah Ding Dong Daddy slow down in his car. She really didn't want to be here, she rather be in her room reading a random book that she has read a thousand times but can't help reading it again. Or drink tea at her favourite café. Or go see Jess and Matt at the auto shop Jess worked at or the Nightmare club Matt bartended at.

Thinking about the Nightmare club made Raven smirk slightly at the thought, to people like her, it was anything but a nightmare, like when Johnny Rancid changed the world into his own image. She still thought it was cool.

Raven blinked in shock to see that Ding dong Daddy stole Robins case, all she could think was, dumb luck. Because no way would a fat guy who talk like a jazz musician be able to steal something from Robin without any help.

Maybe Red X, what a jackass, stealing the case for fun, messing with Robin, and over all be a total bastard. There was something about Red X that got right under her skin, Raven was sure what it was about him that made her edgy around him not that there was much focus on her when it came to Red X. He was either taunting Robin or flirting with Star. Which was very predictable ro Raven, the bad guy always goes for Robin because once you take down the leader the rest would soon follow. In some cases that was true but they were good without Robin, with him they were great. And as for Star fire, all male eyes (sometimes girls) were on Star fire, she was sunshine, Raven was the moon, while she was always smiling and giggling, she was quiet and emotionless and the most obvious Star fire wore tight revealing clothes while Raven hid in her blue cloak.

Raven snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Ding Dong Daddy say "All you got to do is race me for it" he said and Raven tuned out the rest as an idea popped into her head. Jess was a mechanic who designed and built motorcycles like the R cycle and the T car for people like Bruce Wayne. After Raven helped Cyborg rebuild his car, she started to talk to Jess more about cars and motorbikes etc. A day after Raven's last birthday, Jess surprised her with a motorbike designed especially for her and Matt got her a black guitar. Unknown to the titans maybe not Cyborg or Robin but Matt was in a band and sometimes Raven played lead guitar and races with Jess sometimes.

A mouth ago, her motorbike was wrecked thanks to an attack the tower rumble destroyed nearly all it. So Jess has been working on upgrades and with some help from Cyborg added a few parts that will help her as a super hero if she ever needed to use it to save the day. Now would be a good time to test it.

"Hey Cy, I need to borrow your cell phone" Raven asked as Cyborg was about to get in his car, the rest of the titans looked at Raven confused, in Robin's cased annoyed.

"Raven this is no time to make a phone call, we need to get that case back now" Robin ordered as he got on the R-cycle, Raven mentally rolled her eyes.

"I know Robin, just trust me on this." Raven asked Robin, narrowed his eyes at her but nodded and speeded off.

"Friend Raven, what is the problem, should we not help friend Robin, get the case?" Star fire asked confused.

"Yeah Raven, kinda got bigger problems here." Beast boy added from inside the passenger seat of the T car, Cyborg seemed stayed silent for a minute then grinned.

"After you we win, you and me Rae have a race of our own yeah" Cyborg asked as he gave Raven the cell.

"You're on, see you guys at the finish line." Raven replied as T-car raced off and Star fire flow away.

Quickly dialling Jess's number, she waited for her to answer.

"'ello" A female english accent answered.

"Hey Q Heart, you ready for that test run" Raven grinned into the phone as she heard a chuckle.

"Hell to the yes"

Robin couldn't believe it, just as he was about to get his case back red X had to get in the way, again. Since Slade had left town and vowed never to bother them again, he highly doubted it. Until he did make an appearance, Robin focus on the only criminal beside Slade to get away Red X. One of his biggest mistakes and regrets. The Red X suit that it was used for now didn't frustrate Robin as much because like Red X said he was a thief, didn't hurt or kill anyone as far as Robin and he had a feeling that he didn't cross that line...yet but if he did, well, Robin didn't like to think about what he would do.

The original use of Red X was what annoyed Robin the most, how he betrayed his friends trust and became a criminal. Raven was the most understanding, true Starfire understood but nowhere near as well as Raven, she too had a past. A past that didn't just pop up every now and again, a past that was her blood, her whole being. Her father. Which is very they are best friends, they understood each other and respected each other. Another was that they both hated Red X.

"Why do you even want the case Red X, it means nothing to you" Robin growled while Red X chuckled.

"You mean like this suit" Red X mocked and Robin gritted his teeth as he tried to push Red X off the road, quickly he moved backwards and onto his right side.

"Looks like I struck a nerve, lets see when I win this race this would be the third thing I stole from you chuckles?" Red X commented and Robin raised an eye brow.

"Third?" Robin asked and he could practically hear him smirk smuggly.

"Kid do you really think I wasn't going to steal back that belt you stole from me" Red X replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You're still not getting that case" Robin growled and Red X smirked underneath his mask.

"Maybe I'll just steal another kiss from that gorgeous-" Red X was cut off as Robin slammed into him again.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUGH STARFIRE OR I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU" Blunder boy yelled at the top of his lungs and Red X laughed.

"First Kid you don't have the balls or the loose screws to do something like that." Red X spoke serious for once.

"Second are you always this possessive of what's considered your or is it just that hot alien" Red X replied with a cocky smirk which if Robin could see would make his blood boil.

"And third who said I was talking about the alien?" Red X finished speeding leaving Robin speechless.

Red X chuckled at the shocked look on chuckles face, if the fact that he Red X kissed Raven or Angel, he liked to call her, and she kissed back left him speechless, then finding where and how would make Robin the wonder boy faint. That brought a wicked grin to his lips. He remember that night well.

Flashback

He was going to the annul street race near the train station, he hadn't been in over a mouth due to handling jobs in other cities. Since his repuation as an uncatchble thief had reached places like London England and New York, the job were taking a lot of his free time. He wasn't complaining the money was really good, so good that he wouldn't need to steal again, but where was the fun in that. Sometimes he act like Robin Hood and gave money to those who desparately needed it.

The race he went to, not as Red X but as the devil, a name given to him by the women who watched and swooned by the sight of him. the red helmet cover his whole head and most of his face except his mouth. He never took his helmet off when he went to the street races, not even when he was having a quicky, during the after party. His identity was too valuable and he couldn't risk slipping up.

His best and oldest friend Matt (who knew everything about, like Red X knew everything about Matt) said that that mechanic Jess and his secret crush and her friend Rachel were in the race and Rachel said to be a better rider then him. Unable to resist the challenge, he decide to see for himself what this Rachel chick was made of.

He arrive as if it was just like any other race because to him it was, it wasn't the first some new rider thought he could beat him and win the title. He smirked seductively at a few girls as he rode his blood red bike.

He spotted a all man , about 18, blonde curly hair, a golden tan, a bent nose that had been broken twice, picearing jade green eyes and a smirk on his lips. If is wasn't for the stubble and two scars that were healing on his left cheek and tattoos on his large arms. If he did know him so wel he be afriad of him.

"You're late" Matt spoke when he saw him and gave him a glare.

"Relax the race doesn't start for another 10 minutes and even if I was on time, I had to watch you not ask Jess out and watching you mooning over for her was funny at first, now it's kinda of pathetic" Red X replied and Matt growl.

"That's funny coming from you Jason, don't think I didn't notice how you always staring at Raven everytime she comes on TV or you smile when ever her name is mention, you're doing it right now." Matt pointed out and Jason scowled when he realized he was right but he didn't need to know that.

"What the hell makes you think I like Raven?" Jason demanded and Matt smirked.

"I never said you did but thanks for comfirming it" Matt replied and Jason glared, its time to find a new best friend.

"Jason and Raven sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g-" Matt sang

"What's this Jason Cynster in love? Be still my beating heart" a female english voice teased. and Jason turned to see a woman with long chocolate brown hair with bright green steeks, dark green eyes, full red lips and cream skin in a black t-shrt with a red skull and dark blue skinny jeans and black boots.

"I see you have finally grace us with your present" Jess replied and Jason chuckled.

"What can I say, couldn't stay away" Jess snorted amused at his flirting. Unlike most women he knew, he respected and actually liked Jess as a friend, it was a brother/sister relationship and thankfully Matt knew that the flirting was playfull banter between.

"Your friend Rachel here yet?" Jason asked and Jess smirked wickedly.

"Already made my bet for her to win" Jess replied crossing her arms and Jason snorted in disbelief.

"What make you so sure that some chick is going to beat me, it's been done before and it always ends the same way with me winning" Jason gloated and Jess didn't blink a eye.

"This one is different and who knows you may just ask her out on a date" Jess pointed out and Jason scoffed.

"What makes you think that" Matt asked raising an eye brow.

"Call it a hutch" Jess said with a wink.

"Which one is she?" Jason asked looking through the crowd

"Black leather and raven shaped helmet" Jess replied pointing and Jason follow her direction and his mouth went dry. Skin black leather suit, showing off all her curves and other assists. The helmet looked liked Raven's hood when he put it on with black glass covering her whole face but no way in hell was that Raven. There was something about her, mysterious beauty that he had to make his. A jewel, he had to steal.

"I'll see you guys later" Jason said walking towards the sexy biker, not without hearing Jess say "Hook, line, seaker" and he chuckled, he should have known, Jess know that his weakness was a jewel, in stone or in woman it didn't matter, it appealed to the thief and the man in him.

"Rachel right?" Jason asked and she looked up from her book she was reading.

"Let me guess Devil or is it Jason?" The jewel asked, her voice was not natural, she sounding like a female version of him when he was Red X.

"On the race rack its Devil" Jason replied with a smirk and the jewel slammed her book shut.

"Is this where I'm supposed to swoon, blush or giggle" Jewel replied dryly.

"Most girls do" Jason chuckled and he could practically see her rolling her eyes.

"I'm not like most girls"

"Ah, so are you one in a million kind of girl" Jason smirked amused when she tilted her in confusion.

"Excuse me?"

"It's something my grandpa told me when I was a kid, after my grandma died that if I wanted to settle down then go for an one in a million girl because they are beautiful on outside as they are inside, just like grandma" Jason smiled at the memory

Then he looked away to hide his embarrassment. He didn't usually, never tall anyone about his family, let alone his past. But there was something about this girl that made him want to open up to her. And to his surprise and her own, she held his hand and squezzed it in comfort.

"Your grandpa sounds like a wonderful man and so did your grandma" She spoke softly and he smiled in agreement.

"Yeah they were" Jason grinned sadly, realising how much he missed his grandparents.

"Was? Is your grandpa..." Jewel trailed off unsure to ask.

"About 20 mouths after grandma died, they dotors say it was heart failure, that's bullshit because in the end it was a broken heart" Jason shook his head trying to forget when he saw his beloved grandpa and mentor in a hosptal bed.

"So what did your grandpa mean if you want to settle down?" Jewl, no Angel asked, Jason smiled greatful for the topic change.

"Let's say I've always been this devilishly handsome" Jason smirked suggestively.

"How would I know, you have you helmet on and how do I know you are not bluffing, since jess told me you never take your helmet off" Angel protested and Jason laughed.

"I'm not called devil just for my riding" Jason flashed his trade mark smirk.

"Prove it by taking your helmet off" Angel insisted and Jason laughed again.

"Not gonna happen babe, but I may take it off for you, as a pity prize or losing to me and your pride" Jason answered and Angel scoffed and he could feel her death glare.

"How about I take my helmet off as a pity prize to you, for losing your pride and to a girl" Angel threatened confidently and Jason grinned.

"Keep dreaming angel"

"Angel, doesn't really fit me" Angel spoke and Jason gave her a long look over.

"I disagree" To his surprise, Angel gave a mock chuckle.

"Wait until you see me ride" Angel challenged and Jason grinned wildly.

"In that case, my the best rider win" Jason offered his hand to shake.

"Oh I intend to" Angel took a step forward grasping his hand with a solid handshake.

"I hope so, 'cause' it be a good race without a competition" Jason said flirtiously

"Couldn't agree more" Angel said as she began to walk to her bike.

"Good luck" Jason yelled, looking over her shoulder she yelled, "Don't need it, but you will" and with a flick of her wrist, she was lost in the crowd.

Jason shook his head amused, what a woman and definitely one in a million, grandpa, Jason thought with a wide and goofy grin, as he got onto his bike, riding to the starting line.

Jason ready on the starting to go, took a look at the rest of bikers same old same old, he thought then grimmed when he saw Frankeinstan. He had been in a horrible car accident which left him with metal bolts and stitches ergo the name Frankeinstan. Beside the way he looked, he acted like him as well, on and off the race course. Looking at where Angel was on the starting line, he hoped that she didn't get too roughed up.

A tall blonde woman in a black leather mini skirt and a low cut top in high heels put her hands up and he started his engime as did everyone else. She throw her arms down and the race had begun.
