"Why are you after me?", said WonderWoman as she deflected multiple gun shots with her bracelets.

"Simple... I'm being paid to.", said Deathstroke as he put away his gun and ran at the amazon. She blocked his punch and sent a left for his face. He easily dodged it and hit a right in her gut. He then spun around her, while he pulled out his knife in the process, and went to stab her in the leg but instead the knife broke. WonderWoman turned around and socked him in the face sending him flying back. She then walked over to him and stomped on his gut keeping him down.

"Who is paying you?", she demanded pressing her boot harder into his gut.

"Lex Luthor, he wants all of you Justice League losers killed. And he put a 10 million bounty on your pretty head.", he said. He then wrapped his legs around hers and got her in a leg lock. He could hear the cracking in her leg and she screamed out in pain. He then let her go and got up, he watched her writhe in pain about her leg.

"Sorry princess, but your time is up.", he said as he unsheathed his broad sword. Just then he was riddled with bullets from behind a fell forward.

"Lex Luthor sends his thanks Deathstroke, but as of now you are terminated.", said Luthor's assistant, Mercy Graves.

"That double crossing asshole.", said Deathstroke as he got up, all of his wounds healed. But before he charged at Mercy, WonderWoman stood up without ease.

"How?", said Mercy in shock.

"Amazonian healing factor. Deathstroke, since we have a common enemy in Mercy and Luthor, want to help me with this mess? But no killing.", she asked the assassin. He then charged at Mercy defecting every bullet she fired at him. Once he got close enough he cut her gun in half with his sword and kicked her straight in the jaw, knocking her out.

"Deal.", he said to the amazon as he sheathed his sword.

"Impressive... for a man.", she said with a playful smile on her face. She then wrapped Mercy in her lasso of truth and found out where Luthor was hiding.


At Lex's Corp tower...

"What do you mean Mercy hasn't returned yet?! How long does it take to kill one guy?!", said Luthor enraged. He then poured himself a glass of whiskey and sat down in his chair. Just as he did a knife was to his throat.

"A lot more than you think Lex. Now, it's your time to die.", said Deathstroke who was holding the knife to Luthor's throat.

"Deathstroke, don't.", said WonderWoman grabbing his shoulder.

"Why not?!", he asked angerily turning around to meet her gaze.

"Because I know you're a better man than this.", she said lifting up his mask reveling his face. She gently put her hand on his face and looked into his eye. Then she kissed him.
