A/N- The plot is winding in my mind!

buddybuddy96- Thanks. Great to see consistency in my readers. Ask anything you need.

Tsuki- hime Neko- I can help you along.

Locket123- Thanks!

Mr Joey Bon- I'm leaning onto no pairings at all, as a matter of fact. I usually ship that pairing, but I decided to avoid romance on this one.

-X-Deyoxis-X- Yeah, I flubbed on that, I meant it to be Cinderblock. Happens to the best of us. Thanks for reading!

Raven In The Darl/ Light- Thanks.

fadedphantom- I've never played KHII, so it's based on my knowledge of KHI but doesn't completely conform to the storyline. Think of this as a new Heartless plot; a side mission, perhaps.

B-rad15- Thanks!

Sora is a bit OOC in this chapter, but he had to explain the story a bit.

Heart

Chapter 2- Explanation

The Titans took the trio of odd characters back to the Tower, and once gathered around in the control room, Sora began to explain.

"The Heartless are beings whose hearts that have been corrupted by the Darkness. Donald, Goofy, and I protect the other worlds from them and seal the worlds' keyholes so that the Heartless cannot return. Lately, they've been way too quiet. I go by my gut a lot-," here he paused and looked hard at Donald, "and I had a feeling that the Heartless were looking for a dark heart, but one in living form. They want complete control of something."

Robin was surprised, but of course he didn't show it. "So you think that they're looking for something or someone right here in Jump City?"

Sora nodded. "Almost one hundred percent. Having this Keyblade," he held up the large sword, "allows me to feel certain things. And there is someone very nearby that the Heartless are looking for. My Keyblade's attracted to the darkness, and it's sure picking up on something." Robin looked dismayed, then said, "Well, at least we know that this person is in Jump. How hard could he be to find?" He left the group clustered around the kitchen table to his computer. With a glance they could see that he was drawing up criminal files.

"Rob, unless there are criminals at large, they're not in Jump right now," Cyborg offered.

"Yes," Starfire piped in, "They are being held at the new prison in the town of Gotham."

"That's called Arkham," he grumbled, not taking his eyes from the computer monitor. Raven chose that moment to enter the control room as Beast Boy spoke.

"But who said that it's a criminal?"

She halted in her step, then quickly composed herself. "Beast Boy is right," she said slowly as she approached the group. They looked up in surprise.

"Raven, are you all right?" Robin asked. "You just left us before back after that battle." She was looking through Robin as she spoke, and it bothered him immensely.

"I needed to meditate," she offered. Usually Robin would have taken this response without question, but he was a little suspicious of the way her eyes were darting about the room, a rabbit sniffing for a trap.

"Nothing else is wrong?" he prodded.

"No."

Sora started in his seat, as if seeing Raven for the first time. He rose to his feet suddenly, an expression of immense surprise on his face. As he leapt up, his Keyblade swung high at his side, and Raven seemed to go pale at the sight of it; she staggered back. Before the Titans could process what had happened, Raven had teleported out of the room. Sora sat down slowly, mouth wide. His hand was shaking, and consequently the chain of his sword was loudly jingling against it.

Robin was the first to speak. "Sora, what happened?"

"I…nothing," he lied. "Robin, can I speak to you in private for a second?"

Robin nodded, curious as to where the conversation would lead. "Follow me into the hallway." They exited through the door and out of their teammates' earshot. For a moment Robin just looked at Sora patiently, waiting for him to speak.

"Well, I have a question about Raven…," Sora started. Robin's eyebrow quirked upward. Raven was a very delicate subject. "Yes?" he prompted.

"You- well, you trust her, right?" Sora hated the question, and hated it even more when he saw Robin's face grow cold.

"We all trust Raven with our lives. Now why did you question that?" Robin's voice was a deadly calm. All of a sudden, he wondered about this boy Sora. Was he really to be trusted? He knew that Raven came off as a bit- well, creepy- to strangers, but Sora was completely out of line to question her place on the team. Sure, he had saved her in a battle - but what did that really mean?

"Well, those feelings I told you about? When she walked by me, I just..my heart felt cold," the words sounded ridiculous to him, "And I felt like her heart is dark, very dark- and she may actually be the person that the Heartless are searching for. Please, I'm not lying. You just have to listen to me! She could be in serious danger."

Robin opened his mouth, expression skeptical, and Sora interrupted him. "Didn't you see how she freaked out when I stood up, when she saw my Keyblade? How she teleported out of the room?! Robin, you have to admit that it's suspicious."

At first, there were many things that Robin wanted to say. He wanted to point out that Raven did tend to leave the room without reason, and she had odd premonitions sometimes. However, he had to admit that Sora made a point. It pained him to think about it, so he vied for an excuse.

"Well, Raven is a dark person. But then again, she has proven trustworthy, and she's a valuable member of our team. If your feeling is correct, and the Heartless are indeed after her heart, then I believe you and my team have to confer about plans for her safety. However, I want to make clear that no matter how dark her heart may be, that is due to her origin; she is one of the best, purest people I know." It was his loyalty which made him so determined in proving his friend, and nothing more. Sora nodded, realizing this.

"So, I guess you want to know more about the Heartless? I can tell you about them."

Robin nodded and directed Sora back to the control room where the others sat talking. They looked up at once. Robin took a large breath.

"Everyone, Sora is going to tell us about the Heartless. I have every reason to believe that they want something right here in Jump, and we need to protect it."

A/N- I can't even explain the joy I felt when Teen Titans came on the TV while I was writing this. Okay, this is still a little patchy, but I need to get used to using the KH characters before I can be fluent with them and such.

Until next time,
