The Titans burst through the main door leading to the living area.

"O.k. Robin what's the…" Cy trailed off not spotting the spiky haired teen.

"Robin?" Star asked as the teens looked around the empty room.

"You mean captain research, he's probably filling out note cards at the public library," Beastboy said tiredly, his eyes and ears droopy.

"I was."

"Arghhh!" BB yelled Robin appearing on screen.

"But then I spotted Red X pulling a robbery in the tech sector. I'm on it, get here as soon as you can." Robin disconnected leaving Beastboy agreeing to thin air, drool running down his mouth. Cyborg grabbed him by his purple uniform and pulled. "Arghhh!"

Tyler had managed to infiltrate two of the three remaining buildings and so far all he'd managed to do was watch tech scientists go about their boring day and get a new intern to spill coffee on her white blouse. Cursing his luck, Tyler leapt from rooftop to rooftop, his frame nothing more than a streak in the night. He was heading to the tech sector where only a small company operated, almost missing all of the Teen Titans chasing Red X down.

"Fixit, you there?"

"Yes."

"Looks like Robin isn't Red X," Tyler said leaping up onto a small warehouse ledge overlooking the fight. A wave of relief coursing through him only to be shattered by Fixit.

"Are you sure? Because your phone is only picking up six sets of movement, and you're one of them."

"What?" Tyler paled his eyes widening while he watched Robin get trapped in a red net.

"I'm fine, get X, go!"

Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Beastboy left Robin behind heading down into the subway station, quickly Tyler leapt from the building free falling onto the roof below, where he turned off the prerecording of Robin.

"Tyler?" Fixit asked through the headset, he never replied.

The team entered the empty station, the smell of gasoline and cigarette smoke filling their noses. Cyborg switched the setting of his red eye.

"I've adjusted my ocular implant to scan at multiple sub harmonics in the EM spectrum."

"Kay….do you come with sub titles?" Beastboy asked, Cy clarified.

"My eye should spot him even if he's invisible."

It only took a second for Red X to strike, sending Cyborg skidding across the concrete floor sparks flying from his metal.

"It's him!" Raven shouted the Titans taking defensive positions watching Cyborg stand. Red X emerging behind him, attempting to hack into his systems once more, but the X only sparked Cy's back surging with electricity. He looked over to the now visible villain, smirking.

"You're gonna have to learn some new tricks, dog," Cy said throwing the teen to the other Titans who surrounded him.

"Surrender, we do not wish to fight you," Star said. Red X merely tensed on the ground, his feet preparing to leap, he looked at the girl.

"Sorry, I'm not through with you yet," Red X said jumping high in the air throwing his X's at Star, Raven protected the girl as she flinched away. Cy slammed his fist into the ground missing the man by inches. Again, Red X seemed to know every in and out of the Titan's movements. He knocked Cy and Star together, threw Raven into the heavy wooden crates. But the one who caught him off guard was Beastboy, his body slamming into him with the force of a truck, or in his case: a ram. As Red X caught his balance around the column, he swung back and hit the changeling square in the face. The force sent him flying, his head connecting on the railing with a crack. He fell down into the subway tracks.
