A/N- As promised, updating all of my fics. Check them out if you want. If not, boo you.

So, for the reviews: Well, it's all really a general thanks to buddybuddy96, Shizuku Tsukishima749, Tsuki-hime Neko, fadedphantom, surfingfiend2685wolfqueen, and Mimi Foxtrot. Thanks for your reviews.

The plot is ready to start kicking in here, but I have no plan besides forging ahead.

Remember that this is not RobRae, but Robin obsessing over a teammate's safety as he would for any of them.

Disclaimer: I own a cell phone, a guitar, and an iPod. Nothing else of value.

Heart

Chapter 3: Plan

Over the next few days, two things occurred. One thing, and Robin noticed it very quickly, was that Raven never seemed to appear in the control room when the others were present. Robin deduced that she was scared of Sora's Keyblade, of his understanding of the situation, and that worried him. Robin was so used to her headstrong stubbornness when it came to her own safety. The other occurrence was the gathering of the titans with their new allies, strategizing the best way in which to protect the 'thing' that the Heartless were pursuing.

Robin had not yet told his team that Raven was the target. To be truthful, although he was glad that they hadn't realized as much (for Raven's sake), he was disappointed that none of them could discover it without being told.

Raven would have been able to put the pieces together…

Robin sighed, and placed his hand behind his neck, massaging it slightly. He had to admit that he was feeling tired, but of course that meant very little to the Boy Wonder. Besides, if he rested, then his team would be entitled to do the same. And at the moment, Robin really needed everyone's minds at work, even Beast Boy with his ridiculous suggestions. Every little bit of brainstorming helped.

They had yet to devise a plan that Robin fully agreed with. Truthfully, every plan sounded a bit too risky to him, and from what Sora whispered to him as their teammates were occupied, the Heartless were more than capable of murder. He knew that there had to be a way, there had to be a way to defeat them and return unscathed…

Beast Boy cleared his throat loudly. "Um, earth to Robin?"

The leader surfaced from his thoughts with a dazed expression, "What, Beast Boy?"

The boy responded, "Sora just thought of a really good plan. We need you to okay it though, if we want to kick some Heartless butt!" He pumped his green fist in the air, and Robin rolled his eyes. He turned to Sora, who then divulged into the idea. Robin bit his lip and hesitated for a very long moment. It seemed pretty foolproof. Finally, he turned to the others.

"Titans, that's the plan." From his peripheral vision, Robin saw Beast Boy and Cyborg bump fists, and he smiled. The team liked the plan, and that increased the chance of success. He could only imagine how their drive to succeed would increase if they knew that their object of protection was their best friend.

And speaking of the devil, Raven entered the room at that moment. She cast a wary gaze at Sora's Keyblade, and then continued into the kitchen to make tea. Robin noticed how her hands were trembling, and realized that she still didn't know if they had figured out that she was the target.

"Friend Raven!" Starfire gleefully called. Raven winced.

"Yes, Starfire?" Her voice was hoarser than usual, perhaps from being underused.

"We have secured the grandest of plans with which to save the target of the villains. Please, come see it!" Starfire was so cheery that Robin felt a swelling pity for Raven, who shuddered under the paradox of the words.

"I…I need to go meditate." The response was feeble.

"Girl, we haven't seen you in days!" was Cyborg's rebuttal, "You can stay down here for a minute."

She shook her head quickly, and brought the warm mug tight against her chest. "Maybe later." Her attempt at a smile was both pitiful and unconvincing. Nevertheless, the titans turned away and engaged each other in conversation, realizing that further argument was a lost cause. Raven retreated towards the door, and Robin recognized his chance.

"Raven, talk with me in the hallway?"

She quirked an eyebrow at him, but obliged. They went into the corridor, door swishing shut, separating the two from the loud occupants of the control room. For a long moment, Raven just looked at Robin in a calculating way, scrutinizing his features as if searching for a sort of truth. He figured that it was best to just spit out what she needed to hear.

"Raven, I know."

Instantly, her entire body tensed, and her eyes flickered downward.

"However, I didn't tell the team yet." Her eyes came back up to meet his.

"Why not?" She sounded remorseful, almost as if she wanted him to tell them.

"I wanted to talk about it first," he responded casually. Robin was surprised when these words were met with a snort.

"Robin, don't beat around the bush. Tell me. I'm not an idiot; I know when you're lying." Her face was twisted with a muted disgust that he disliked.

"I just thought that you should be the one to tell them," he finally answered, and she responded with a sigh. There was a prolonged pause and Raven seemed to be considering something. Finally, she spoke.

"Robin, I…I had a vision, very recently. And I admit that from the moment I saw that vision, I knew that the Heartless were coming for me. But Robin, I never dreamed that it would be so soon."

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have liked to know. The team would have liked to know." His voice was becoming a growl, and Raven knew that she had to answer more delicately to preserve his sanity.

"To be perfectly honest," she stopped, and then continued, "I didn't want you guys to worry about me." Her gaze fell. Robin felt like laughing, but in a relieved and amazed way.

"Raven, not worry about you? Last time you kept a secret from us-," he saw her visibly tense, and changed the path of his words, "Well, I think that you've learned that we're here to help you, and secrets aren't a great idea. So, Raven, are you going to tell them, or should I? The secrets are over, promise me." He held out a green gloved hand.

Slowly, she took it. "I'll tell them. And Robin, I promise. No more secrets."

A/N- That was sort of hard to write. Maybe I just need to plan it out more. PM me with questions or anything of the like.

Until next time,
