It's a cold, dark night in Gotham City. A night like so many others, with petty criminals running to their homes because they know he is out. Tonight he hunts, The Batman. But this story is not about The Dark Knight, no, this tale revolves around an unexplored rivalry. A grudge match between the two deadliest men currently in Gotham. Deathstroke and Deadshot.
It's a calm Friday night when the super villain Deadshot enters an old and abandoned apartment. He is calm, takes a moment and puts down a medium sized case. He opens the case and slowly assembles a sniper rifle with a built in silencer. He opens a window and sticks the barrel out the window, all while looking down the scope. He, as always, is working. His latest contract comes from an unknown source, as is usual in his line of work. The man he is assigned to kill is the super villain known as The Penguin, Oswald Cobblepot. Floyd waits a couple of minutes when Cobblepot finally arrives for a arms deal with an unkown man, completely hooded. Floyd can see that the hooded man is supplying the weapons, when he pulls out a an assault rifle. Then, when Floyd is ready to pull the trigger, the hooded man aims his rifle at Cobblepot and his crew, and begins to shoot, killing everyonecat the scene. Floyd did not anticipate this, and is quite schocked.
Before he can react the hooded man takes off his hood, turns around and lookes directly at Deadshot. "Hello Floyd". The man says. It took a moment, but Floyd recognized the man. It was Deathstroke The Terminator. "I did not want to steal your contract Lawton, but I think it's time we figured out who the best is, don't you think so too?"
