Summary: Raven has always had visions of future events plaguing her all her life. Then one night, a vision is shown to her revealing of something to occur in the near future. What is it? And why is that when for observation, staying with Robin in his room all alone, the visions stop? What is that her subconscious knows that she does not?
I Dream of You
The wind blew in the dead of night, in the middle of the deserted alleyway. Tall, looming brick buildings covered the dark sky abstracting the view and casting shadows around the area. It was silent and completely void of human presence. Just then footsteps, running panting sounds were heard in the distance coming closer and closer until...
Raven shot up in her bed clasping the dark violet blanket around her shuddering body. Sweat glistened on her forehead as her eyes scanned the moonlit room in suspicion. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth, when she found no one, followed by a huge loud noise.
"CRASH!"
She whipped her head to the direction of the noise and found one of her three giant bookcases in tiny pieces littering her floor. Memories, trinkets and priceless items lay in disarray, broken or torn on the ground. Raven rolled her eyes at the mess and chanted quietly to herself bringing in her, run-a-much emotions.
"Azarath metrion zinthos..." She took a deep breath and gracefully slide out from under her covers and to the debris. The work there would take the better part of the next day to clean up with or without her powers, and Raven was not n the mood to do it then that late of night. Instead she let her eyes glide on the items laying there, finding the important things to her heart and they were picked up immediately.
A small charcoal box was among those few selections, containing two rings of silver. She grimaced and floated the box to her nightstand and ever so lightly put it down. Raven then took a deep breath and walked out her room and into the darkened hallway.

A booming noise resounded from the other side of Robin's door. It awoke the boy wonder from a deep sleep, way over do than for anyone else but that thought left him as he raised his exhausted body off the mattress. His comforter was bunched around his feet tripping him in the process of trying to walk to the door. He fell down and hit the floor with a 'thawck' followed by a groan. Robin grumbled a few choice words to himself as he kicked the pain of a blanket, and finally made it to the actual doorway.
The metal entrance swished open revealing a female in a long sleeved black nightgown reaching far past her feet. It enclosed her neck and hid her body, but mystery was never overrated for Raven. Robin peered down at Raven, eyes softened as they made contact with her purple ones.
"Hey Raven. What's up?" Robin asked yawning at the end. Raven nervously shifted weight on her feet and crossed her arms over her chest.
"We need to talk." She stated emotionlessly. The boy wonder nodded and stepped aside, leaving the resident telepath with enough room to enter his bedroom. The room itself was in total darkness, except for what part of moon's rays could get through the window's curtains. Robin's bed was against the far side, by the corner situated next to a nightstand, and a single lamp knocked over laid on top. Adjacent to the door on the left side was a large desk piled high with papers and new crime data reports and another lamp was at the base of it, toppled over. Clothes, other papers and fighting bo staffs covered the ground.
"Here, take the chair." Robin went to the desk and hidden in the shadow next to the desk, he pulled out a swirling chair. He also set up the lamp turning it on to brighten the room up a bit. With the light the walls color that could be made out was a deep burgundy and the carpeting was that of a dark evergreen. Raven took the offer, and Robin sat on his bed leaning forward with his elbows on his knees,
"Thank you. Robin...something's wrong." Raven began uncertainly. Robin, not quite catching on looked around his room his brow furrowed.
"My room's not that bad." Defensively Robin said. Raven shook her head and peered into Robin's eyes. That's when a thought occurred to Robin, and he felt his face in desperation. His mask was still on, but the way Raven stared holes into him made him feel uncomfortable just wearing blue checkered sleep pants.
"No Robin. I had a dream just now, only it seemed too real for a dream. I think what I had was the beginnings of a vision."
"A vision? Of what?" Robin regarded Raven with unfaltering interest and Raven looked at the ground.
"Not much. Bt it started off in an alleyway and then I remember sounds of running and heavy breathing, perhaps a fight I supposed. But my feelings became out of control during this vision, telling me I was experiencing something there. What? I do not know." She finished and looked back up at Robin who's mouth was set in a straight line of determination and deep thought.
"This isn't exactly a lot to go on Rae. Can you tell me anything else?" Raven shook her head.
"No I can't. Sorry." She stood and moved to the door, Robin following behind.
"It's alright. We'll tell the others about it in the morning and get to the bottom of this. Get some sleep." The door opened and Raven stepped out and turned her blank eyes to his masked ones.
"Same to you leader. Bags are showing underneath your mask." Raven jabbed expressionlessly and glided off to her bedroom. Robin gawked at her and felt his eyes on his way back into his room closing the door behind him.

AN: And I know how long you've all wanted something out of me, so I decided to post something earlier than expected. I've started writing this since oh let's say... around November somewhere and only now I am posting it. Well the reason behind this is I wanted to finish it all then post it in chapters so I wouldn't be late with updates and such but I couldn't stop myself. I had to post something before everyone thought I was dead!
Little notes:
It's set before 'Birthmark' which to this day still kicks ass and set after haunted although Robin hadn't mentioned the fact they had a bond so that will be void until later.
Another thing: originally I wanted to make this into a short one-shot with a Rae/Rob lemon, but it progressed and changed and is right now about 38-39 pages long. So that's a little reason also why this is so short. I couldn't give you too much! I have to drag this out long as possible although we're far from over.
The blue checker sleep pants are a lil hint to what I was wearing when writing it. I couldn't come up what Robin should be wearing, looked down and ta da! There you have his night pants. I figured if they were guys pants, he wouldn't mind wearing what the authoress was wearing right?
The sliver rings in the charcoal box? Pleas tell me you all know what I'm hinting at there. If you know shout it out in your review. :)
And that's about it. I just wanted these little things to be said before moving on. Ah it feels good to be posting again; and right now I'm supposed to be researching my topic for my English thesis report. Screw it. I wanted to do this instead. I'll blame my addiction to reading and writing Rae/Rob ficcys.
Loves to all my lovely reviewers, your names will come out to my other one-shots I've got plot bunnies for but at the moment no inspiration to write them out. Review on your way out please!
Peace215 :)
