Chapter Seven: Heart Part One

------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin led Raven down to the garage for his bike. He knew that she didnt like that death trap, but it was going to be along night. So he was going to persuade her to ride with him

"You know that things a speeding death trap Robin. One day your going to find out the hard way."

Robin gave her a very good impression of a sad puppy dog. "Maybe, but that day isnt today. Besides, do you think id crash when iv got a very gorgeous raven with me?"

"Well...no, but still..."

"...O alright, youve talked me into it. Just dont crash..." she paused, then smiled, "My handsome robin."

A big smile spread across Robins face. His smile made Raven smile more. Robin jumped onto his bike, started it, and patted the seat inback of him. "Come on, birdy, lets get going." Raven got onto the back of the bike slowly, still not trusting it. Robin then put on his mask, to Ravens disappointment. Robin noticed it.

"What? You want all the other girls to see me eyes?" Robin prodded. Ravens eyes grew big. "Thought not, there only for you." Raven felt all warm inside, considering that he only showed her his eyes. "Hold on." Robin commanded. Raven rolled her eyes, then leaned forward to get a good grip on him when...ZOOOOM!

"EEEEEEEHHHHHH! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!" yelled Raven. Robin only laughed and headed for the city.

Instead of racing through the city streets, he took the back roads along the country side. He wasnt sure if Raven had ever been out here, so he wanted her to have a nice experiance. After about fifteen minutes of driving throught the back country he finally came to the spot he wanted. He parked on the side of the road, got off his bike, and held out his hand to Raven. She smiled and took it, but then as she took his hand she took of his mask with her other and put it somewhere in her cloak. "Theres no girls around here exept me." she answerd his shocked look. He smiled at her and led her around the meadow. He then stopped, staring at the flowers around him, as if searching for something. Raven looked at him questionly. Robin the seemed to find what he was looking for.

Robin turned and looked at Raven with a loving expression on his face. He started to move closer and closer to her, his face only three inchs apart. Raven held her breath. God, how she wanted to kiss him, not like before, but a real kiss. She started to lean forward, and was about to kiss him, when his hand came up to her chin, stopping her.

"Raven?" he breathed.

"Yes Robin?"

Robin smiled, and then, out of nowhere, he yelled, "BOOOO!" Raven yelped in surprise, and would have fallen if Robin wasnt holding her arm firmly. When she steaded herself she noticed that hundreds of butterflys were fluttering around her. She looked around in awe. She had never seen so many differnt colors in one place, let alone hundred of these butterflys. "There...there...the beutiful!" Raven exclaimed.

"Not as beutiful as you." Robin said, still looking at Raven. Raven looked back at him, and when she did, a butterfly landed softly onto her nose. She just stared at its wings in her eyes. Robin started chuckling, while Raven tried to remain as still as possible. After a few seconds the butterfly started to tickle Raven's nose, so she couldnt help but giggle, which scared of the insect, making Robin laugh harder. Raven started to giggle some more along side Robin. Then she stopped.

Robin looked at her. "Whats up?"

"Um, my emotions. A few days ago, I couldnt show but the barest hint of them without losing control, now, I can show them freely and im still in control. Why?"

Robin thought about that for a few moments to find an answer.

"Maybe, its because youve actually admitted something about your emotions, and by letting them out but not wild, they've learnd control, or atleast, thats my theory."

"Maybe...your right." Raven said slowly.

Robin looked at her thoughtfully, then smiled. "Come on, lets go, weve got about four hours till sunset, lets make the most of them."

Raven looked dissaponted that they were leaving. "Dont worry, well come back here tonight, theres something I want you to see." Robin said, still smiling, while putting his mask back on. Raven brightend up again. Robin just loved it when she did that. It made him feel like he accomplished something.

Later that night, after shopping, dinner, movies, more shopping, a nice walk in the park, and a snack, Robin drove back to the meadow where they had been earlier that day.

"Wow..." Raven said, looking up at the sky, which was full of stars. Even at the tower, they didnt get this many stars due to the lights in the city. Now, here, miles away from the city, the sky was filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of white spots of light, and the occasional flash from a shooting star. While she was staring up at the stars, Robin was wondering around, collection fireflys. When he had filled the jar full of them, he walked up to Raven and handed her the jar. She looked into the jar in wonderment, then looked at him questionly. Robin only nodded to her, then laid down onto the ground. Raven sat down, then opend the jar, letting the fireflys flutter around in the air around them. Like the butterflyes earliar, they were just as pretty. She laid down next to Robin, holding his hand, both letting smiles grace their faces. For hours they laid there, not saying anything, just staring up at the night sky, when a brisk wind started to come up. Raven shiverd slighly, but Robin noticed.

"Come on, lets get back to the tower. Next time well dress more warmly." Robin said as he sat up. He held out his hand for her, but just as she grabbed it, a burst of dark energy ripped from both of there hands, causing them to be blown apart. Robin landed with an omph, while Raven rolled down the hill they were on. Raven ran back to Robin to find him staring at his hands, which were glowing with dark energy, just like her's did when she got mad. "That, was abit odd." was all he said.

Raven crouched down by his side, just as confused as he was. Then, just as suddunly as it had come up, the dark energy dissaperd, back INSIDE Robin. "Ok..." he said slowly. They both got up slowly, making sure not to touch eachother unless they wanted another bump on there heads. As they settled onto the bike, Raven suggested they just teleport back to the tower, bike and all. Robin sadly agreed. He had come to like her leaning against him when he rode like Jonny Rancid througout the city. As they landed in the tower, they made sure that they stayed atleast ten feet apart, due to the fact that they still didnt know what was going on. But as Raven reached her room, Robin was still there. She looked at him sadly, saying that they would figure out what happend in the morn...well, in six hour atleast. She had to meditate and research the 'problem' in detail. Before she closed her door, Robin leaned in and kissed her on the mouth, then pulled back with a sad smile on his face.

"I had...a wonderfull time tonight. Thanks for coming with me." Robin said, being rewarded with a gentle smile from Raven, but then they saw black energy starting to crackle between them both. Robin quickly took off down the hall while Raven slammed her door. What was happining? Robin thought. He looked down at his hands to find them covered in energy, but as he got farther from Ravens room, the less it showed, untill finally, when he reached the main room, it was gone. He would sleep on the couch, being that his room was to close to Ravens.

"Damn it!" he yelled out loud. "Why the hell did this have to happen on such a wonderfull night." Well, all he could do was wait and hope Raven found away to see what was wrong with him. IF there was anything wrong with him. He sighed, he'd get there stuff in when he woke up, if he could get to sleep that was. For now, he just laid on the couch, thinking about the night he had spent with the girl of his dreams, leavine out the part of the little 'ripple.' Robin looked down at his hands, just to find them glowing again, but this time more intensly, and with each passing second, they seemed to be getting darker.
