He kissed down her neck and smiled against her soft skin. She let out a soft excited moan and pulled him closer to her. His hand slid under her shirt while her fingers unclipped his cape and threw it to the side of them. He moved toward her skirt when – knock.
"Robby, I need a word," Cyborg's voice came from the door.
Robin sighed and kissed Starfire's forehead. "I'll be right back." The leader lifted his cape up off the floor and drew it around his shoulders quickly as he opened his bedroom door, "What's wrong?"
"Slade was in the tower," Cyborg said in a low voice.
"Where?" Robin said immediately, "When?"
"He came in two hours ago and left about an hour ago," Cyborg answered, "He was in Rae's room."
"Where is Raven now?" Robin asked.
"She's in my room. She's alright, Robin," Cyborg said quickly, "We need to reboot the security systems though."
Slade washed his face with water, silently cursing to himself. He knew he had won this time. Raven would never recover; he knew that was a fact. He was also positive that she was completely broken. The only question now is how long he has before the other Titans found out.
"So how did it go?" Wintergreen asked, handing Slade a drink.
"She's terrified," Slade replied.
"Impressive," Wintergreen said, "I thought she would take more time."
"I was afraid she would. Turns out she has a weakness."
"Everyone does," Wintergreen answered, "What was hers?" Wintergreen began to dust of the coffee table next to Slade.
"I raped her and she snapped," Slade said.
Wintergreen stopped cleaning and looked up, "She's only a child."
"I know," Slade replied, "I am pretty sure she was a virgin too."
"What could have possibly influenced you to do that? She is so young."
Slade shook his head. "She always tries to act mature. Mentally, I believe she is a lot older. It does not matter though. It was not a matter of attraction. I accomplished my goal. She's no longer a threat to me. She was their strongest piece, and now she is out of the way."
"She won't be a Titan forever," Wintergreen pointed out, "Most of the things you do will either kill them, and end it, or hurt them to a point but they will heal. When she is older and stops fighting –"
"I will have fully won," Slade cut him off, "If only I could speed that up."
"With all due respect, I think you crossed a line," Wintergreen said leaving the room, "Goodnight."
Slade leaned back in his chair and shut his eyes, wondering to himself if there really was such a thing as "crossing the line".
Back at the tower, Cyborg had a new security system running. Robin was already on the computers looking for something – anything – that could lead him to Slade. Raven hovered near the counter alone, sipping a tea. After about the hundredth worried glace she received from her teammates, Raven finally spoke up: "I am fine."
"Rae, would it be alright if I just ran some test? Those marks on your neck could use some help healing too…" Cyborg said.
"Great," Raven replied, "I have healing abilities. They will get help healing."
"Rae…" Cyborg started but Robin cut him off.
"Got him," Robin called from the computer, "He was seen going into the attic of city hall."
After getting Starfire and Beast Boy, the Titan's headed into the city, ready for a fight. "Alright, he could be anywhere in the building by now. Split up and keep your communicators on."
"Robin, that's not a good idea," Cyborg pointed out.
"Yeah, that's the perfect way to get us all killed," Raven agreed.
"Haha, dude! Raven's scared to walk around by herself!" Beast Boy said laughing. Raven's eyes glowed black and in a second she had Beast Boy pinned against the wall.
"I am not scared."
Cyborg's hand rested on her shoulder and he shook his head. Raven sighed, setting Beast Boy down.
"Fighting amongst yourselves, Titans?"
They looked up to see Slade standing across the room in the doorway.
