Reader x Teen Titans Chapter 1

Previously...

-“Excuse me, is there a reason you’re sat up here on this building?”…..

I was surprised and turned around startled. They definitely weren't there earlier, I only just sensed their presence as they spoke… -

Your P.O.V

I stood up and turned to the mysterious figure slowly, making sure my hood was still up, of course. I took note of the outfit this guy was wearing, skin tight, and quite revealing can I add. Defined muscles, he was strong. A cape, a little cliché. And a mask... but I didn't think Halloween was for another couple of months, why is he wearing a skull mask? ...with red lines on it?

Now things are getting awkward, I've just been staring at him!

"Is it of any concern to you? Last time I was here it wasn't a problem." I replied without a trace of emotion on my face or in my voice. I was good at that, in fact, I sometimes forget what some emotions feel like.

"No concern, it's just that you're in the way of my escape path, plus it's unusual to see a pretty girl alone on a rooftop."

Gross. Was he hitting on me? Is that the correct terminology? I don't even know, and escape route?

"What are you supposed to be escaping from?" I was curious now, in fact, I'm getting out of character.

"Curiosity killed the cat you know."

Ugh, I knew it was obvious. "But satisfaction bought it back. Besides, why tell me you're escaping something if you aren't willing to tell me what it is you're escaping." And I'm back into character.

"You're smart, but I'm afraid I'm going to keep it a secret, I wouldn't want to give you a bad first impression."

Okay, now I just gave him a look of complete confusion. First impressions? Why would I want to remember this weird kind of situation, I'm not used to this much interaction in the middle of the night. "What do you mean by first impressions? I don't even know your..."

He interrupted me. "The name's Red X, what might your name be?"

Now, I had to be careful, can I trust him enough? I just met the guy; of course I can't trust him. Then again, what're the chances I'll ever see him again, and no one knows my name in this city, so I can't be tracked at all.

"My name is _________, now tell me this, are you some kind of villain, hero, or a low-life criminal with an identity to protect?" I was sure he was one of these things, taking his outfit into account.

"The only crime here is that we've never met before cutie, well, see you around __________". And with that he was gone. Hmmm, Red X, that explains the two red lines on his mask...wait...

What the hell just happened? What do I do now? I guess I'll just sit back down again, where was I... Oh yeah, looking at the stars. Oh well, I'll just head back home instead.

---------------------Time skip to apartment-------------------

I looked up at the old, shabby apartment. I can't believe they're going to demolish this place next month. I live there, I make do there, and it’s free, or should I say abandoned. It's on the outskirts of Jump City, I've lived here for about a year now, living off the money I stole from the family safe before running away. Its also a pretty good deal here, rent is free as no one knows I'm here, furniture was left behind in all the different rooms, I just moved it all into one room. I'm not even here very often, I just come here to sleep and maybe hide if I needed to. I don't get cold very easily either, and if I did then I'd just make a fire. Oh, did I forget to mention that? Yeah, I can make fire, one of my 'powers'. I'm actually an elementalist, but unlike most elementalists who can only control 1 element, I can control the four main elements and a few sub-elements.
