Alright people, I sincerely, o so very sincerely apologize for the terrible ordeal I put you all through. I meant to update this month's ago, but I got stuck in school. Then, when I got time to write this, I got stuck with my idea's. I have six, yes, SIX different version's of this chapter, but none seemed to fit with the story. So I kept writing new one's until I came up with this. THEN, on top of all that, we moved a month ago, and the Internet company took there sweet time getting the net back up, namely THREE week's. But the good new's is that in that time I was able to go over my earlier chapter's and make improvement's on this one. I noticed around chapter six I started to get a bit 'sloppy,' meaning I didn't put as much effort as I did in my first five chapter's. So I hope you see a difference in this chapter. I also installed open office, so there should be far less spelling mistake's then in previous chapter's.Also, if this chapter doesnt answeryour question's from before,then what exactly do you think sequel's are for?You cant expect all your question's to be answered now do you?Enjoy.

Heart Part Two

Raven was in her room meditating, while Robin was...doing whatever he felt like at the moment. The vision from earlier at rattled her nerve's to the breaking point. When she had been growing up she had been told of her destiny, but she had hoped that it was just a story. With the coming of this vision, it showed that it was no story. It was real, and was getting closer with each passing day. She had been trying to meditate for the pass hour or so, but she couldn't get into her mind. Every time she tried, she would be thrown out. Even her mirror didn't work. It was as if somebody didn't want her in. So all she could to was sit on her bed and try to calm her chaotic mind. But that wasn't even working. She sighed. All she could do now was go she how Robin was doing. So she left her room and went searching for him.

She found him in the gym, again, teaching holo Slade who was boss. She just stood in the back and watched him. He seemed to be getting better at controlling his new power's, but she could see that it was taking its toll on him. He was sweating profusely, and his face was strained with stress. His voice broke her train of thought.

"Damn, this is too easy." With that he walked over to a computer terminal and started typing something in. The computer confirmed what he was doing. "Battle level to max." Robin nodded, then went back to fighting. He hadn't noticed Raven yet. Raven could tell the difference in the level from before and now. Before Robin was fighting at his max, and was winning. Now, he was being thrown here and there as the holo Slade did its work. Raven would have said something if she could,which she couldn't because Robin had erected a energy field around the battle setup for some reason. Maybe it was his subconscious that had erected it. She would have to ask him about it later. He kept getting up and went back to fighting, only to be slammed in the back, gut, shoulder's, or head, then thrown into a wall, leaving a nice sized dent in it. But that didn't stop him. Finally, after about eight minutes of this beating, Robin seemed to snap.

Robin roared with rage, and charged at the hologram. He started throwing punches so fast that they were just a blur to Raven. She could also see that he was going way to fast for the computer to keep up with. The computer consoles that were in charge of keeping the hologram stable started to fizz and spark. Robin didn't notice and continued his raging assault on the hologram, until finally the computer gave out and the consoles around the room blew up. Raven erected a quick shield to block the burning pieces of wreckage flying around the room. When everything settled down, Raven walked up to Robin, who was on one knee trying to catch his breath, with a worried look on her face. For a moment there, he seemed like...Slade. It scared her. But she hid her fear. She didn't want him to stress to much on it. She felt it was her job to figure it out, due to the fact that it was she who gave him the power's in the first place.

She walked up to his side, waiting for him to stand up. When he did, she just clicked her tongue.

"You do know your going to have to pay for all this don't you?" she said dryly. Robin only sighed before looking around at the mess he had created.

"Yes, I do, but ill do it later. I don't feel up to doing anything else right now." With that Robin turned around smartly and headed out the door. Raven fell into step bedside's him. The walk down the hall's was. . .quiet, to say the least. All that could be heard was the pat of there feet on the carpet. When they came to the main room, Robin went straight to the couch and sat down with a relieved sigh. Raven took her time getting there, first getting herself a mug of herbal tea. She then walked up to the couch and took a seat bedside's him, where he was flipping through the channel's on the television.

"And in later news, a kid-"

"And'a now, we musta put the sauce into the past-"

"The next five day's will be all sunny, no rain in-"

"Now, all that need's to be done is add the pai-"

"Come on down to the Mega Mash Sunday, where yo-"

"Well, why don't you have a taste of my Backlash-Wa-"

"-force attack, Winged Dragon of Ra, ignite your mighty blaze cannon. Att-"

"-a car bombing was reported earlier today, wittinesses have this to sa-"

Robin turned of the set, chucking the controller onto the table. For fifteen minute's they said nothing, sitting there in comfortable silence, either sharing tea from the mug of reviewing in there own thoughts. Robin was the first to break the silence.

"I take it that that vision earlier has something to do with you?"

Raven nodded slowly.

"Yes, and from what you saw, it's not very. . .pretty."

Robin looked at his hand's, slowly replaying what he had seen in his mind.

"Any way we can stop it?"

Raven shook her head sadly.

"No, no matter what I do, it will still come about, some way, some how."

"There's got to be away, we've always found-"

"No Robin, this is Trigon, my father, the incarnation of pure evil. There is no way we can stop him from doing what he wants."

"Who was that. . .person?"

". . .Me. . ."

Robin looked at her sharply. He just sat there, looking her up and down, a scowl on his face. After a minute of that type of scrutiny, Raven got uncomfortable.

"Im sorry Robin, but this is something I have to do alone, I cant risk yo-" before she could say anything else, Robin had lunged at her and pinned her arm's to her sides.

"See, that's the problem with you Raven, you try to do everything yourself. You wont let anybody in to help you when you need it the most. I know you've created this barrier to keep people from hurting you, and that's good and all, depending on your personality, but now you have me, and you still want to do this by yourself!"

Raven turned her head away, trying to find something she could look at bedside's those piercingly strange eye's. But she couldn't help but know he was speaking the truth. But Robin wasn't done yet.

"I now have power's, thank's to you, and I can better protect you with them. You now have better access to your mind and more control over your emotion's. WE can do this Raven. WE can beat this new threat. WE can do it together. Just let me in Raven. I wont hurt you. I swear. All I want to do is watch over you. You've been trying to protect everybody else for you entire life, now it's time you let me try and protect you."

Robin lifted her chin with a finger so that they were making eye contact.

"Let me in Raven, I don't bite. Im going to be with you through thick and thin. If you say this is the incarnation of evil, I say laugh at his face. If he wants to destroy the world, I say let him try. If he wants to take you away from me, I say over my dead body. I would do anything for you Raven, but you got to let me in. Please?"

By now Raven had tear's in her eye's. She knew Robin wanted to protect her, but to actually her him say it, and to her him say it with such conviction. . .it was just what she had been waiting for in her subconscious. Raven quickly grabbed onto him, hugging him for all she was worth. She was afraid that if she let go, he would slip away, along with the protection he offered her.

Robin pulled back slightly.

"Come on, let's go do some window shopping, maybe pick you up a new book or something."

Raven nodded gently. Robin smiled, gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead, and helped her up. Thirty minute's later they were walking along a busy street, gazing into window's, making smart remarks at some scantly clad girl or over dressed business man, behind there back's of course. They didn't want people to know that they were actually teenager's, with teenage thought's and desires. They would go into one store, browse, leave, find another, browse, leave, find another. . .well, you get the point. They picked out a few, wrote them down on a slip of paper, then came back to them later that day to buy something.

About mid-afternoon, they stopped at a fast-food joint for a quick bite to eat, then continued shopping. Neither of them were the shopping type, but when you actually found somebody that cared for you, it was little thing's like that that seemed to have no meaning anymore. At around five or so, they found a quiet place under a large oak in the park to look over what they had bought.

"Let's see, we have. . .Unsolved Murder Mystery's: Uncensored Bloodshed, Fear of the Light: Accept the Dark, Haunted, Ghost, Demon's Gate, Astronomy 101 For Dummy's, Dragon Lore, Magic: Unveiling, and finally a. . .cookbook!"

"I though you could use a refresher course in the art of fine dinning." Robin said with a smirk. Raven scowled at him.

"You are so dead for that bird brain." With that Raven smirked and brought out a book of her own, which she handed to him. Robin looked it over.

". . .Sarcasm 101 for dummy's: How to sound cool without making yourself seem like a total idiot." Robin looked at her, then the book, then back at her.

"I don't see what you point is." Raven only smiled a bit wider then before. For some strange reason, it seemed it was getting harder to smile now, unlike before. Without giving it another thought, she placed the book's back into the bag, and with a wave of her hand, sent it back to the tower. Raven then gently placed her hand into Robins, just trying to make that moment last forever. About an hour later, Raven had started to doze off, when Robin shook her awake.

"Come on, let's get back to the tower. Got to contact the rest of the team. Then we can get to that cookbook." Raven again scowled at him, which only make his smirk bigger. They took the long way to the tower, passing through the park, then the business complex, housing complex, busy street's, and finally the beach. They were about half-way there when Robin said four simple word's that turned a good day sourer.

Robin grasped Raven's hand tighter, under her cloak and his cape of course, where she gratefully accepted.

"I love you Raven."

The look on Raven's face was one that Robin would keep for the rest of his life. It was just that her face softened, as well as her eye's, and a gentle smile caressed her face. Also, the sun was setting just right in the horizon, so that it make her best facial feature's grow. Into something beyond word's.

"I love you to Robin."

Instantly, time stopped. Everything stopped moving, except for two teen super hero's, who were looking around in puzzlement. Then Raven feel to her knee's, holding her shoulder's as intense agony covered her entire body. Robin bent down next to her, alarmed by this sudden out break. Almost immediately, pain coursed through his body as well, though not as painful as what Raven was feeling. Through the pain Robin could see something horrible. Red marking's had suddenly covered all of Raven's body. They even shown through her leotard. Robin looked down and noticed the same marking's covering his body as well. He slowly got to his feet, struggling to hold Raven as well. The pain was slowly increasing, to the point where she thought she would go insane.

"It's. . .starting. . .Robin. . ." Robin nodded slowly, drawing her into a hug.

"I. . .wont let. . .him take you. . .Raven. . ." Robin said, each word a struggle as his body part's started failing.

As quickly as it came, it ended. Time resumed. Bird's flew, people walked, car's drove. Bur for two teenager's, it was over. People quickly surrounded the spot, some crying out in surprise or shock, other's using there cell phone's to call the police, while still other's tried there best to keep everybody else calm.

At the center of the circle of people, lay to crumpled body's, on of a male, the other female. One in red, green, and yellow, the other in purple. A brave fellow slowly walked up to the couple, stuck his finger's out, and felt for there pulse's. . .Nothing.

Robin and Raven, two of the greatest protector's of all time, were dead.

Response to reviewers:

Lady Sonora the Black-Rose: . . .Not much I can say about that review, except, well, um, thanks for reading.

Fenir Hellfyre: Creepy you say? Thank you, I try.

Evilsangle: O. . .K, im not sure exactly was was so funny, but im. . .glad I made you laugh, I think. Sorry for not updating sooner.

JPElles: Hm, interesting review. To answer your question, it's both. Her power's ARE being limited, which allows Robin's to grow more quickly, which means's that the darker side will show up more. From the chapter above, I don't think he can do any more training.

Cherry Jade: You cant guess? Good, because you wont find out until the next. . .wait, strike that, I mean you wont find out until the sequel. . .or maybe the next chapter. . .did I say that out loud. THERE WONT BE A NEXT CHAPTER. . .or will there. . .

RedRover3173: Good. Starfire always creeped me out, and she still does. I mean, NOBODY can be that happy all the time unless. . .she's on drug's. . .you never know.

Tecna: You think? Im not so sure. Im not a softy, so im always wondering how im going to write something soft that goes against my personality.

XcloudX: Just ok? Dang, o well, thank's for reading is all I can say.

Dark Shadows: You liked the fight scene? I still think it needed more detail.

Palidin: Im sorry I confused you. I meant that it was the first time I had written a T.T. Fic. I surpassed you? In what way?

RavenLovesRobinAndSoDoI: YES! I surprised somebody! I love doing that. Hope I can keep it up.

Chaotic Symphony: Im sorry for not updating sooner, so you don't have to apologize for taking so long in your update's, im in the same boat. Thank's for the complement.

Raven42431: Thanks.

DemonicGoddess: I got the idea from watching the End and seeing Slade with his fire power's and all.

Anime.freakazoid: Two thumb's up you say? Im honored. And sorry, this is my only T.T. Story I have right now. Ill make more in the future, hopefully.

BigBlackWoman: Yes, I have read your fic's as well. All I can say is good job. Keep it up.

Raven-Robinfreek4evr: Amazing you say? Gosh, now im getting nervouse. Yet another person that love's this story. I never knew it would be this popular. O, and go ahead, threaten me if you wish, but know this, ill threaten ten time's worse, so be prepared.

Alright, was this the last chapter? It's a very good possibility. Will there be another? Ill just leave that up to you. Do you think ill disappoint all of you? You be the judge of that. Will the two love bird's be together? Figure it out. And before any of you get any idea's, I don't want anybody thinking that heaven or hell are in this story, it's not supernatural. It's a big surprise. I would like to see which one of you can guess what it is, and the reader that get's the closest guess get's a double layer, triple chocolate, M&M encrusted triple German fudge cake. That's IF I write another chapter. I don't know about it, im feeling a bit lazy. I don't think you deserve a final chapter before the sequel. Try and change my mind in your reviews.
