Previously on Affliction

Renegades eyes flashed. "You aren't MY MASTER!" He flipped Deathstroke and then Renegade was on top with the sword to his throat. Renegade reached behind him and grabbed the other sword so now he had two. He rose the other sword straight above Deathstroke's heart. "You're just a monster."

Deathstroke was in shock. He had gotten cocky and had lost. He steeled himself and sneered. "If you kill me, then you'll be just like me. A ruthless killer, a monster."

Renegade glared at him, "Shut up."

"They'll never take you back after this. They wouldn't want a killer like you. You'll be despised, hated. You'll be all alone again. "

"Shut up!" And with that he started the drive down the sword towards the bastards heart.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the sword started it's descent. It plunged down and down, just about to reach the flesh of the monster in front of him. Renegade face shone in determination as it got closer and closer.

All of a sudden, something rammed into his side and he was flown across the room. His sword clattered to his side, free of blood. It had never reached his target. Whatever had ran into him messed everything up! Renegade slammed his fist into the ground angrily. He should say whoever ran into him. A figure was laying near him, getting up quickly. Red Arrow.

Renegade was pissed. If he hadn't of knocked him over, Deathstroke would be dead right now. Deathstroke wouldn't ever kill anyone again, the world would be a better place! Deathstroke would have payed for everything he had done to him and countless others!

"Why the hell did you do that!?" Renegade spat venomously at Red Arrow, who seemed to be slightly shocked.

"Were you really going to kill him?" Red Arrow asked, not really knowing if he wanted to know.

"Yes," He stated simply, picking up his sword. Red Arrow seemed more shocked than he was. Renegade used to be Robin who believed in justice, not killing. He was the poster boy for justice."But you just had to come in here and ruin everything!"

Red Arrow quickly became angry. "Ruin everything? I saved you from making a choice that I know you would have regretted in the future!"

"I would not have regretted it." He said slowly, not actually knowing if he would have. He hadn't thought about what would happen afterwards. He seemed sure of his actions before. Now...

A familiar cool voice then spoke. "Sorry to interrupt, but I have to be going and Renegade will be coming with me."

"No he won't!" A new voice shouted. They turned around to see the team there, their faces angry. Wally stepped forward. "You took him once, you're not taking him again."

Deathstroke scoffed, "And you are going to stop me? A group of pathetic little kids?"

"They're not alone." A gruff voice said from the shadows. Batman appeared, followed by Flash, followed by Superman, followed by...well you get the gist. The Justice League appeared.

"The big and mighty Justice Brats. So easily distracted..." Deathstroke said coolly, trailing off. The Justice League looked at each other confused, until Deathstroke pressed a button and a swarm of robots came rushing towards them. They quickly drew fighting positions just as the first wave hit them. The team was caught in the robots too, so that left Red Arrow and Renegade. Renegade knew how to disable the robots, so Red Arrow covered for him.

Red Arrow shot an arrow at Deathstroke, which he deflected easily. Red Arrow glanced at Renegade, who tapped a part of his shoulder. Red Arrow drew an arrow and shot in the spot Renegade was tapping. It was a chink in his armor and the arrow went right in. Deathstroke hissed towards Roy, furious he even made a hit. That's when Deathstroke went full on mode.

He attacked Roy with a flurry of hits and kicks, each blow harder than the next. Roy was defending himself quite well, but was tiring quickly. Renegade knew he couldn't stop hacking, but wanted to help him so badly. Luckily, a surprise attack from a familiar mask came to Roy's aid.

Cheshire struck Deathstroke from behind, turning his attention away from Roy. She flipped over him and landed next to Roy. He stared at her incredulously, "What the hell are you doing here?!"

"What? Why should you get all the fun?" She smirked, fending off an attack.

"You could get hurt!" He defended.

Cheshire rolled her eyes underneath her mask. "I can take care of myself! You don't always need to be so protective!"

Deathstroke started chuckling. Not an amused chuckle, it was a deep, dark chuckle filled with malice.

"Oh, how delightful! It seems that we have a pair of star-crossed lovers in our midst." Cheshire and Roy glanced at each other fearfully. "This information makes things much, much more interesting. I wonder how far this attraction goes..."

Roy attacked more ferociously, as did Cheshire. They started to gain the upper hand. This went on for a few minutes until Deathstroke gained the upper hand and soon Cheshire was unconscious and Roy was on the floor. Deathstroke scoffed,

"Children. They always overestimate themselves."

Roy took one last look at his love on the ground and steeled himself, waiting for the killing blow. Deathstroke smirked and swung his sword. Instead of the sound of sword meeting flesh, a huge metallic clash was heard. Roy looked up to see Dick with an angry look on his face.

"You always underestimate us." Dick threw Deathstroke a few feet back with a push and didn't look back as he spoke to Roy. "I need you to finish hacking the robots, I have something I need to take care of." And than an epic battle ensued as apprentice clashed with his master.

Hey guys! Sorry this took a while. I was going to make the chapter longer, but decided the give you the really good stuff in the next chapter.

Anyways, I don't know how many chapter I have left. I'm thinking four? I don't know. You guys tell me how long you want this to be.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed and yes, Dick will need some therapy. :)

So, Review!
