Having heard some stories of Zari's dysfunctional family dynamic, Raven is unsure of what to expect upon meeting Zari's parents for the first time. However, she never counted on the toxic relationships between family members, and certainly not the fatal attraction she would have to Zari's own father, Dashon, who's as alluring and off-limits as they come.
