-Atlantis-

A flash of fire, and Deathstroke found himself standing in a gigantic, but empty room. "At least Ares put me past the front door." he mumbled to himself as he looked around and noticed the place was seemingly abandoned, but Deathstroke knew looks could be deceiving. "Got to find the prison, which is going to be–" he couldn't even finish his own thought as a spear implanted itself into the wall next to where he was standing, which made him spring into a combat stance. Which was not a moment to soon as half a dozen Atlantian guards rushed forward from the shadows and raised their spears in combat stances.

"Six versus one?" Deathstroke said as he reached unto his back and pulled out his sword, "Alright, let's get this done." Deathstroke laughed as the guards ran forward all at once and tried to slash their enemy. Deathstroke parried one spear with his sword, before jumping into the air and somersaulting over all the guards. He then pulled out his pistol with his free left hand and fired off a clip at all the guards, hitting all six with in individual bullet, but leaving no visible damage to their golden armor. "Guess it's my sword versus your spears, fine then," Deathstroke growled as he holstered his firearm and took up a stance that allowed him quick mobility, and then all six guards charged again.

-Strykers Island: Metropolis-

"That takes care of that." Batgirl said in an approving tone as she had just finished dragging an unconscious guard into a janitors closet. "Now let me get access to those files." Batgirl said as she knew it wouldn't be long till the alarm went off. So with great haste she ran into the nearby record room and began looking through the prisoner files, until she found the Professors file. "Maximum security... great." Batgirl mumbled in a sarcastic tone as the alarm suddenly began blaring. "What the hell man?" Batgirl grumbled as she quickly left the records room, and began running toward the maximum security ward. A guard greeted her as soon as she rounded the corner and aimed a shotgun at her. Batgirl quickly jumped into the air and delivered a dive-kick to the guards chest, making him drop his weapon, which Batgirl grabbed mid-fall and slammed the weapon into the mans face, knocking him out cold. She continued to run until she came across the stairway that would take her to maximum security, and to her non surprise, five guards armed with automatic weaponry where waiting there to greet her.

"Time for a rave boys!" Batgirl hissed as she reached into her utility belt and threw a smoke-bomb into the ground, which covered the area in a thick grey mist, temporarily disorienting the guards, which allowed time for Batgirl to jump over them, and gain entry into the staircase. A few minutes later, she saw the pod that contained the professor, and after punching a few commands into the keypad, the doors opened with a mechanical hiss, and the professor dropped out, and fell on his face.

"You ok?" Batgirl asked in a concerned tone as she squatted down next to the professor. He barely was able to lift his head due to the bad shape he was in, but he looked up at Batgirl, a look of fear then suddenly became present on his face, and Batgirl could see a figure in the reflection of his eyes. She quickly jumped up just in time to counter the punch from a red and black dressed individual.

"Your pretty smart to locate the professor, but your damn stupid if you think you can beat me!" the assailant hissed as Batgirl kicked him in the stomach to give herself some breathing room.

"Damian Wayne, the bastard prodigy!" Batgirl hissed at Damian as she threw a batarang at his face, to which he easily caught, and began spinning in his fingers, before throwing it back at her, to which she barely had time to dodge.

"I'm giving you only one chance to surrender." Damian hissed.

"Not a chance in hell!" Batgirl hissed as she charged at Damian, who charged right back. The two jumped into the air and threw a kick at each-other, and the two attacks collided...

-Atlantis-

"That makes ten." Deathstroke said in an amused tone as he had just defeated another guard who had gotten in his way. He had easily defeated the six original guards who had confronted him, and had since then taken out four guards who had gotten in his way once again. Reaching into his belt, he pulled out a holographic map that showed the layout of the surrounding area, including the Atlantian prison. "Prison is a few hundred feed due North, and there probably countless guards between here and there, but it's nothing I cant handle..."

-Later-

"Don't bother to get up, I'll let myself in." Deathstroke mocked as he stepped over the two guards who guarded the prison entrance, making sure to grab their keys off of them. A minute later he found himself in the mostly empty prison area, bot to say it was just empty of guards, but it was also seemingly empty of prisoners... that was until Deathstroke found what, or rather who he was looking for. Jason sat in a giant bumble at the far end of a giant hallway, the bubble in question was completely filled with seawater, leaving only enough room for him to breath, but just barely.

"Deathstroke?" Jason asked in a confused tone as the mercenary approached.

"Yea." Deathstroke answered simply as he pulled the sword off his back and slashed a hole in the bubble, resulting in water gushing out, and pulling Jason out with it, to which he landed on his ass.

"I'm surprised you off all people are here, might I ask why?" Jason asked as Deathstroke helped him to his feet.

"This is obviously a rescue mission, and you're the one being rescued." Deathstroke said simply.

"I think not!" a loud commanding voice called out from behind them, and Deathstroke turned around quickly, even though he knew who was speaking.

"You dare come to Atlantis, surface dweller?!" Aquaman roared at Deathstroke, his triton grasped firmly in his right hand. "I have a right mind to skewer you with my triton!" Aquaman hissed.

"You can certainly try." Deathstroke said in a mocking gesture as he pulled his sword off of his back and made a mocking, 'come get me' gesture with his left hand...

-Strykers Island: Metropolis-

"You are really starting to piss me off!" Damian hissed as the threw a punch at Batgirl, to which he barely missed, but Batgirl's attack didn't miss as she kicked him in the gut, and then delivered a powerful uppercut to his jaw.

"The feeling is very mutual!" Batgirl hissed as she picked him up with by his collar and delivered a power-driver punch to his nose, and Damian was out cold.

"Nice move." the professor congratulated as he walked over to Damian, and for good measures gave him a kick to the gut. "I never got a chance to ask, who are you?" he asked his savior.

"Name's Batgirl, and I'm getting you out of here." she said firmly as she offered him a hand, which the professor took, and with a flash of fire, they where gone.

-Atlantis: Prison-

The sound of metal on metal could be heard all through ought the prison, as Aquaman's triton clashed with Deathstroke's sword. Suddenly the two weapons where interlocked.

"I'm taking the kid with me!" Deathstroke hissed as he tried to gain an advantage.

Deathstroke was the first to free his blade and he delivered a strike to Aquaman's chest that was so clean it took a full three seconds for blood to seep from the wound yet was only a skin-deep wound. He then followed it up by hitting Aquaman across the face with the butt of his sword several times and managed to grab hold of the trident then slammed both weapons into Aquaman's face, knocking him out after a few more strikes.

"Holy shit." Jason said in amazement. "Never seen anyone take Aquaman out like that." Jason said in an approving tone.

"He was a difficult opponent to be sure, now let's get outta here," Deathstroke said as he put his sword on his back. Time for us to leave." he said as he held out a hand to Jason, which he took, and in a flash of fire, they where gone.
