The Titans got startled by an alarm which set off in the afternoon. They had to leave immediately. Even though Michelle was not as anxiously clingy anymore, Robin still insisted that somebody keeps an eye on her while they're away and for the right reason. Nobody could predict when she would feel weak once again because of a vision and potentially injure herself or die. This time - Raven volunteered to stay with Myth which the father quickly agreed upon with a nod and ran out of the Tower in a hurry. She confused the rest, especially Beast Boy, by her willingness, and she already had her reasons. The plans were not ambitious, but if she could help the girl even a little, then it was worth a try. She approached Robin's room slowly and knocked upon the door gently. The witch didn't hear anything from the other side so she opened the door by typing in the code to it. The view she witnessed was surprising to her. Michelle was sitting on the bed and munching on some chips and a milk chocolate bar happily. Her mouth was brown and covered with salty crumbs.

It's been literal years since she's last seen Myth in such a situation. She found it adorable. The younger turned bright red on her cheeks, hid the bag of chips and chocolate behind her and started to rub on her mouth aggressively.

- I-I'm sorry I-

- No need. I liked your lipstick - Raven put a hand in front of her to stop the girl from explaining herself and smiled softly.

Blue still appeared very embarrassed of her behavior or... of being caught, rather.

- Don't tell dad, please - she plead her nervously.

- I don't think I'll have to - she approached her and pointed at the dirty bedsheets.

- Oh no... - Myth exhaled deeply.

- You're scared of Robin? - Raven raised a brow at her.

- Scared? No, not really... But I don't want him mad or disappointed with me. I know he means well - she explained.

- I doubt that he will be - she answered quietly and sat on the edge of the bed next to her.

She took a look at Myth's face again, seeing how dirty it is and couldn't help but smile. A floating tissue consumed by the darkness of her powers appeared in front of the younger girl and rubbed on her face until it was clean. After that, the chips and chocolate were sealed neatly. She hid them in the kitchen where Robin usually stores their snacks. The admiration Michelle had for Raven was hard to explain sometimes, but her presence felt... magical.

- I would like to know how you feel - she looked her in the eyes.

- After the vision or overall? - the younger already had an idea why Raven's here.

- You nearly dying was terrifying, but both are good to know - she explained.

- Overall I'm okay, but the visions are gutwrecking... They aren't making sense at times, but they still feel real - she rubbed her arm uncomfortably.

- I know how you feel. I wish I could help somehow, but during the worst times even meditation couldn't help. You will have to rely on your team for support when you're back - Raven's voice sounded a little pained compared to usual.

- If I have somewhere to go back to... yes... - she sighed in worry.

- Your team is strong enough and they have our support.

Michelle was completely unsure of those words. Not because she had doubts in her team, but because there's only 3 of them. And if Ravager wanted to create an army of 1000 lava creatures - she would. And she would win.

- Meditation may not help with everything, but I think you might need it - Raven suggested.

- For what?
