Author's Note: So these are all short vignettes about Mar'I Greyson, or Nightstar meeting Slade Wilson, or Deathstroke the Terminator for the first time. If you're reading this I really hope you know who Deathstroke is, but Nightstar only exists in Kingdom Come, which is a DC Elseworlds comic (means it's non con). She is the adult daughter of Nightwing (Dick Greyson) and Starfire (Kor'iander). She's a vivacious girl, with a heated temper, and super powers akin to her mother.
Deathstroke the Terminator is supposedly immortal, so it makes sense that he would meet her sooner or later, since he's not going anywhere.
If you have any questions about Mar'i in the comic book, or just in general, feel free to contact me. All reviews are welcome.
Yes I am a total nerd.

He fought til the bitter end. He fought with every ounce of his being and then some. He fought harder and tougher then Slade could have anticipated, and really, by this time, Slade thought he could anticipate everything Dick had, but today, in the end, he had a few surprises. The pool of blood on the kitchen floor was growing. Slade bent over the still body and closed Dick's startling blue (dull and lifeless) eyes for the last time.
Slade knew he would be unable to do this entirely without emotion, but still, the sheer volume of grief was really quite…. Exceptional. He had perhaps not completely considered what it would feel like to see the kid for the first time in almost 5 years only to kill him. Well, to see the man, really, at this point he had ceased being a kid years ago. Dick had been like a son to him, more then a son. He tried to keep this impersonal, just another hit, and he's good at keeping it impersonal. So why was he staggering to his knees like a weepy widower.
A sound comes from the bedroom. In retrospect Slade hadn't been entirely certain what he thought he would find, but the green eyed infant still surprised him. He should have left. The job was done, the child was not part of it, Dick's friends or family would find her soon enough. The solid green eyes left no doubt who the mother was. Slade remembers reading about Starfire's funeral only 4 months earlier.
Trembling, he picked up the baby girl, she made a noise, not quite a cry, and he lifted her to his chest with surprising tenderness. Gently he patted her back and soothed her back to sleep. What child this was to fall asleep while the blood of her father still scented his gloves sharply, to rest her sweet cheek on his armor. Was this part of her world?
Really he doesn't know why he took her with him when he left, but this time, he wasn't going to fail his daughter.
