Now, the titans were planted in front of the warehouse, hidden behind the piles of boxes stacked on top of each other.

Robin pulled out his goggles from his utility belt, examining the environment for any trouble. There were piles of rusted metal that surrounded the warehouse, that Robin noticed hadn't been there before. Then again, the titans hadn't been to this warehouse for months and the company could have made changes since then.

Robin scanned the surroundings a bit longer, when he noticed there wasn't anything coming to attack them, Robin folded the goggles back up and slid them into his utility belt.

The boy wonder lifted his hand up folding in his fingers twice, which signaled his team to move forward.

The team inched next to the sides of the large metal doors of the warehouse. Robin held his hand up, counting to three with his gloved fingers. When Robin reached zero, he kicked the door open with his foot making a large clunking noise which vibrated through the silence of the warehouse.

The titans entered the warehouse, looking around for any signs of trouble. The warehouse was eerily quiet. There were tons of boxes and metal piled everywhere. Robin grew more and more suspicious of the tons of metal surrounding the inside and the outside of the facility. There was also a platform of sorts surrounding the very top of the warehouse.

There was a sudden scurrying heard from the top of the building. Beast Boy looked up attentively, being the only one who heard it of course.

Beast Boy adjusted his eyes, turning them into a gleaming gold color to get a better look in the dark. He noticed a shadow of a figure moving around. The figure, noticing that Beast Boy was looking at him, waved their hand tauntingly and scurried off.

"Over there!" Beast Boy shouted, morphing into a hawk and making a cawing sound before flying up to the platform to chase after the figure.

Cyborg, Raven and Starfire flew up quickly, following Beast Boy's pursuit. Robin decided to use his grappling hook from out of his utility belt to meet the figure on the other side of the platform.

Raven stared at the figure they were chasing. The figure was wearing all black with a dark and tattered cape. It also had a silver utility belt similar to the one Robin wore. The figure pushed boxes over, attempting to topple over the teen's that were hot on their trail.

The chase continued until the figure met with Robin face to face, or rather, mask to mask. The figure had a skull mask placed on top of the black suit, and had red X's on the glove's.

The figure was wearing Robin's old Red X costume.

Robin didn't even think about questioning why or how the masked vigilante got a hold of the Red X costume. Instead, Robin went with a more intimidating approach.

"End of the line." Robin smirked, sliding a birdarang out of his utility belt, ready to throw it at the Red X imposter.

"Not for me." The figure replied, pressing a red glowing button on their own utility belt.

Once the button was pressed, it activated a red glowing cage around Robin's team. Raven immediately tried to teleport out, but it just sent her right back into the cage. Robin watched as his team attempted to exit the red gleaming bars, but only getting more and more injured every time.

Red X caught Robin by surprise, pushing Robin off of the platform and on to the hard metal floor of the warehouse.

Robin grunted and gripped his chest gasping for air. Robin pushed himself up feebly, but quick enough to doge a punch from Red X who almost landed on top of him.
