It was not a nice day. The sun was not shining. That is because she was in prison, where there were no windows, and she could only assume that it was supposed to be night-time due to them turning off the lights. Starfire was on the floor with her back against the wall in a slump. The expression in her eyes was rather bored, with a slight note of being pissed off. Yes, this was her penance for having taken lives in her destructive behaviour, but she had a lot of time to grieve over their loss. Sometimes, it would dull and she'd just be angry. Angry at everything that was happening, and blaming a long time enemy for it--because one could only blame themselves so much...
It may have been another uneventful night, but then something or rather someone happened in the vicinity of her cell that had her head raising from its lolled position to look up. Her brows pinched together as she regarded the unexpected visitor title drop. "What are you doing here?"
It was a great night. The moon was full. The stars were shining. And the click of the ventilation shaft lock as it opened was even better. Looking down into the darkness, the only source of light was the infrared beams that littered the entrance he had just opened. He counted down from 3 and the moment he breathed the word zero, the infrared was shut off and he jumped into the darkness. Seems his contact was doing the job right so far.
Normally people broke OUT of jail, however this was a special occasion.
First was the fact that he needed information from people and secondly...was the fact that a few certain 'Heroes' were in jail. Landing with a soft thud on concrete, his gaze swept the vicinity. The cell he was looking for wasn't here. It was elsewhere. Making his way silently to the cell he wanted was child's play.
If only he wasn't wearing his mask. But he was so sadly, no one could see the arrogant smirk on his face. He had waited for a long time to see the this particular Titan behind bars.
And when she spoke, his smirk grew into a playful little monstrosity.
"Just dropping in to see a gorgeous girl." For now, he'd be polite...sort of.

Starfire shifted her weight forward so she could rise on her feet without the use of her hands, which were encased in a large cuff before her. They must not have thought to take similar precaution with her eyes, which as Red X could perhaps recall were quite capable of shooting that same energy that made her hands so dangerous. Perhaps he was looking so confident because he knew the force-field would activate if the bars were breached. She had no intention of causing such trouble. She approached the bars to look at him better, and see what it was he wanted.
"You break into jail only to see me?" Starfire said with doubt. "Are you here to jeer at my expense? I may be locked in here with nothing to do, but I can still choose not to give you my attention," she warned, lifting her chin with dignity. Her pride couldn't mask the tell-tale signs of stress in her face and posture. Those who were caged had little patience.
His gaze followed her movements carefully. The stress of the current situation was written all over Starfire's face. It was almost ironic, seeing one of the city's greatest heroes being subjected to the same treatment they force onto others. As Starfire spoke, he raised a hand to his chest and pretended she had hurt his feelings. "That hurt almost as much as one of those Starbolts of yours." His domino mask echoed the feigned hurt, hoping to catch Star slightly off guard.
From feigning being hurt, he easily shifted to playing honest but how honest he actually was is uncertain. "I wouldn't want to waste your precious time Princess. I'm just hoping to spend a little time with you." The fact he had broken into jail in the first place would help give him some evidence that he was being honest. But with X, honesty came at a price and it usually involved information.

She did not know if she could believe his hurt, eyeing him with a touch of confusion. Had it? The last time she was in bonds he was looking for a date. To what had their interaction warranted his good favour toward her? She sighed, deciding that it was not as if her time would suffer from some company. She couldn't do much from this side of the bars anyway, and as she warned, if she did not like what he said she could be quite good at ignoring...
"Very well," she conceded, and looked to the side for a moment. "Am I... the first you have visited?" she asked tentatively. "Robin is also in here, and I was hoping to know if he doing... all right," she explained a little timidly, not sure that she could confide in Red X but recalling he had been helpful once before.
The fact she had actually decided to believe him was amusing but the fact she was choosing to confide in him was even better. For a moment, he was thoughtful, listening carefully to what she said and choosing his words carefully. "You're the only one I thought about visiting." Stepping just a bit closer to the bars he decided to make a simple statement, just to see how much information she would give away whether it was her body language, tone, or words. "Your concern for your friend is sweet but he's in more trouble than you think."
Her reaction would tell him just what he needed to know about the two of them and with that information, he would have an arsenal at his disposal. Call it sheer curiosity or whatever you will as to what made him ask but in the end, any info and all info would help him in some way, shape, or form. A slow smile would touch his lips behind the mask at her response. Moving dangerously slow, he raised a finger up to where is lips would be, silently signaling for her to keep her voice down. Precautionary measures were definitely going to be needed with what he was planning this time.
Her eyes widened when Red X mentioned there was trouble. She stepped forward without thinking as if she could come closer to knowing the truth by being closer to the source. "How do you know this? Have you seen him? Heard of him? What trouble is he in?" she asked in a flurry of questions. It was frustrating to be so confined. Even if she broke out, they were confined by Amanda Waller and her promise to keep secrets. He wouldn't want her to jeopardize that under any circumstance... but Starfire needed to know how bad it would be.
Playing thoughtful, X tapped a finger to his chin. "I could tell you but when we get out, you've gotta go on one date with me." He was partially joking but wanted to see her reaction. If she agreed, he'd be pleasantly surprised and he may just give her a little information she'd find useful. But at the same time, he felt it would be best to give her a little show of trust even if it was just to get her to spill a little info. "Mind cluing me in on what exactly happened that night? Maybe...just maybe there's an inside source here that can help you."
The eyes of his domino mask narrowed. "I'm not such a bad guy once you get to know me. Why else would I come visit you?" Beneath the mask, a smile was painted on his face. It was interesting, trying to get the little alien girl to talk. But all he needed was just a little bit of info. Just something to prove whether or not it was this girl's fault that there was now an impending invasion. He wasn't one to just believe the rumors these people were spreading.

The roleplay takes place after the series end of the original Teen Titans animated show, but does not include the movie Trouble in Tokyo. Since then Robin has been on something of a recruiting spree, and many new young heroes have found themselves a home in Jump City as well as Titan Tower.
