HYDRA forces came from everywhere, and as hard as SHIELD forces fought, their overwhelming
numbers were too much to keep them at bay.
Deathstroke the Terminator slashed and fired his way into the facility, along with dozens of HYDRA forces. As he entered the SHIELD facility, he was met by more SHIELD forces, which he cut down to make his way into the lobby. As he progressed, he caught sight of a star-spangled super soldier wielding a shield, who had just taken out another HYDRA operative with a shield to the cranium.
Steve caught sight of Deathstroke just as he lined up a shot. He fired, but Steve held the shield in front of him just in time, as the bullet ricocheted off his vibranium shield. He fired another shot, which ended with the same result. Steve suddenly charged into Slade to close the distance, and using his shield as a plow, he rammed into Slade and kept pushing into his shield until Slade crashed into the metal wall, creating a sizable dent.
In retaliation, Slade assaulted Steve with the butt of his rifle. Several loud clang noises rang through the enclosed lobby as Slade crashed his rifle into Steve's shield with as much strength as he could put into it. After faltering from Slade's relentless strikes, Steve thrusted his shield upwards underneath Slade's rifle , and used his free left arm to force down the butt of the rifle. Manipulating its leverage, the rifle fell to the ground.
Steve attacked more aggressively now. He rammed Slade with a forward thrust of the shield, creating distance for more powerful strikes with the edge of the shield. Aiming for Slade's head, Steve sent a sideways strike, which Slade sidestepped. While Steve exposed his lower body, Slade sent two swift kicks; one to the knee, and the other to the abdomen. As Steve was disoriented from the strikes, Slade grabbed the shield and forced the side of it into Steve's head. Dazed from the shock, he was left open to be disarmed as Slade ripped away the shield from his grip and tossed it aside.
Steve swung to punches into Slade, which his promethium armor absorbed. Steve swung another blow with his left arm, which Slade caught with his right hand, and wrapping his arm around Steve's, he applied force in an upward direction, causing an arm lock. Slade then pulled his locked arm downward to his right side, which caused Steve to fall on his back. Steve retaliated by performing a leg sweep, knocking Slade down with him. While they both stood up, Steve delivered a swift kick to Slade's helmeted face, and then ran for his shield across the room. As Slade staggered to stand, Steve prepared to deliver the knock-out blow to his head, but was too slow, as Slade already drew his viscous broadsword from his back sheath, and drove it through Steve's exposed abdomen. Steve could only live long enough to look down at his wound, drop his shield, and collapse, as Slade retracted the blade from the fallen soldier's body. Slade then grabbed his rifle and continued the raid on the SHIELD outpost.
Why Deathstroke won:
The serum that enhanced Deathstroke's abilities not only granted him great physical prowess, but mental as well. Deathstroke is capable of
fuctioning 90% of his brain, which is nine times more than a normal human, to quickly think on his feet of ways to defeat his opponent.
Deathstroke has superior equipment. His completely unexposed body and lethal weapons give him an edge in a fight against Captain America.
Captain America holds back most of the time, while Deathstroke is willing to kill his opponent at all times.
