Explanation
She knew he was near. After healing the members of the Titans to best of her abilities, she went looking for Rath. She found him.
With his hands behind his back, He was pacing on a rooftop. Stopping, he found Raven heading towards him. Least she found him.
Landing, "How did you know Mia had HIV?" she asked.
Smiling, "Simply by her lifeforce," sighing, "Loving night to look at stars after nearly getting killed by a mad man."
"You killed him."
"I should've had done something different? Explain how I should've tried a different method."
"There was a way."
"If there was, I didn't think of it. Now you're not here to talk about matters."
"No, I'm not," crossing her arms.
"I want to train you to your full potential."
"That's it?"
"You want more? That is as simply as I could've said it except the apart about no attachments."
"You, what me to leave the Titans?"
"Correct."
"Nothing else?"
"Is there?"
"About us?"
"About us? Oh, the arranged marriage part, well that depends?"
"Now what?"
"If you want what to get married, I'm willing if you are."
"Then you're not in love with me?" walking towards him.
"I didn't say that. I do love you. Didn't what to make things complicated for you."
"Thanks for thinking of me," pulling back her hood.
"Huh, no signs of emotion, but sarcasm," he remarked as she stopped.
They were within inches of each other.
"What if I need time to think about it?"
"Much time do you need?"
"Enough for you to," grabbing the flaps of his coat, pulled him towards her until their lips touched.
Their lips were feeling each other.
Pulling her lips from his, "think about this."
Wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling closer to him, "Need a better reminder," locking their lips back together.
Picking her, his body went forward until her back slammed against the wall of the entrance to the roof.
Her hands was trying to pull off his coat as his right hand lifted her leg up and his left hand was slipped under her costume.
She couldn't believe she was doing this. Letting go of her self control, letting her emotion ran wild with this Rath Lee. She did this with Kory which lead to her being corrupted by her father.
"Wait," she grasped as his lips were on her neck.
"What?" he said continuing to taste her neck.
"Need to stop."
Pulling away, "Quite right," sliding his coat back onto hi shoulders, "Can't keep pawing at each other like animals in heat. Both of us with self control can't behave like this."
Sliding her hood back on, "So right, there could be a peeping tom around here."
Walking towards the edge of the roof, "Need to think about that offer to train you?" he remarked.
"Yes, need to think about it."
Both were staring at the stars, letting silence set in.
"Why did you stop?"
"Why did you?"
"You asked me to."
"Didn't think you would listen?"
"Once, I ended a relationship because the girl asked me to. Now why did you what me to stop?"
"Because of Kory."
"Starfire? Oh, I see. She is beautiful and properly killer in bed, breaking a few hips along the way. Answer one question. Where were you raised?"
"Azarath."
"Oh, now it makes sense, you were sent up for failure."
"What is that post to mean?"
"Simply you were raised around emotionless beings. When you came to Earth, you experienced emotions for the first time. Bet Kory was like a nuclear bomb to you."
"Interesting way of putting it. Yes, you're right."
"Then you didn't know how to handle this so you decided to see how things would work itself out.
"Correct, don't stop you're on a roll."
"Now she didn't return the same emotion to you. So you got jealous which lead to anger, allowing your father to use you."
"You're good at putting things together."
"I once was a woman. Good thing we stopped."
"Why?"
"If she was like a nuclear bomb to you, then I'm a supernova."
"Now we know each other well."
"Quite well I believe."
"Guess I could make a decision."
"Yes, make a decision."
"Need to sleep on it."
Holding out his hand, "Guess until we meet again."
"Better idea, how about I stay at your place until in the morning? You do have a place to stay," taking his hand.
"Yes, I do."
Slade watched through his binoculars Rath and Raven leaving the rooftop.
"Business before pleasure," he remarked, "Rose, got that recorder."
"Yes, father."
Putting the binoculars away, "Maybe, Lex can use it," he thought walking towards the replica batwing.
Superboy was flying towards the direction that the message said. A message was left behind by who ever broke into the Tower. It was for him. Why else could he find it? Why didn't he give it to Cyborg? Right now that didn't seem like a good decision not after his outburst with Rath.
Landing in of a warehouse, he turned the doorknob. It turned. He pushed it opened and entered. Closing the door, lights came on. The building was empty except for two recliners in the center of the space. In one of the recliners was Lex Luthor.
"Hello, son, take a seat."
"What makes you think that?"
"It was my DNA that stabilized Superman's DNA to make you. Now seat down."
"Why should I do that?"
"What I'm about to show you may make you weak at the knees?"
"What could you show me that would beat the news of your DNA in me?" turning towards the door.
Touching the knob, "How about Raven being friendly with Rath Lee?" stopped Superboy from opening the knob.
"How did you about them?" turning his head.
"I have my ways," motioning to the chair, "Please seat down."
Cautionly Superboy did.
Pushing a button on the armrest, "This may interest you," Lex said as a TV rose from the floor.
Superboy watched the image of Raven kissing Rath. His foot destroyed the screen.
"What do you want?" asked Superboy.
Standing up, "Your help," said Lex placing his hand on Conner's shoulder, "We both have enemies that need to be eliminated."
"Like who?"
"Rath Lee who isn't post to exist and Superman that invader from another planet."
"I have his DNA."
"But you have mine DNA which balances things out."
"Rath is too good."
"That is where I can help if you trust me."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"Best advice ever given," commented Lex holding out his hand
Taking his hand, "I'll be your bitch."
