The Avengers Meet the Justice League

Chapter 4

Two days later

Zemo smiled as he looked around the room with a team like this no one could stop him, not even the Avengers. He had his own team, (himself, Dinamo, Loki, Amora, and the Executioner), and then he had the team from the other world (Joker, Harley, Lex, Ivy, Humanite, Senestro, Morgan Le Fey, Scarecrow, Slade, and Ace). With a team like this there was no way anyone could stop them! Zemo's smile got even brighter just thinking about it.

"Alright, you have us here, now what," the clown asked.

"Simple clown, my team is going to go out and cause trouble in town, drawing all the Avengers to us. While we are distracting them, all of you are going to launch an attack on Avengers Mansion. Once you have taken it over, and captured the butler, Amora will teleport us there and then we will lock them out. We will use the butler as bait one by in the Avenger will fall. As for your Justice League, you said that they too had a butler. Amora and Loki will teleport to your world and take said butler, making sure they are seen, and then your Justice League will come here to find him and we will defeat them as well. After that, we will rule the world!" Zemo smiled at his plan and Joker stroked his chin.

"I suppose it's an okay plan," he finally replied.

"So when do we start," Lex asked. "I'm ready to finish off the Justice League now!"

"Oh chill out Luthor! We all know you have an obsession with killing Superman," Humanite said rolling his eyes.

Slade rolled his eyes as he leaned against the wall. This all was beneath him, and it was clear that all these people were idiots, but maybe all this talk would get him Robin. With Batman out of the picture, the kid would need a new mentor. Still, working with lots of idiots would be very annoying task.

Zemo seemed oblivious to everything that was right in front of him. Slade really didn't want to be here in the first place. He and Wintergreen, his butler, had been doing some work on their copter so they could start their attack on Jump; it was weaker now that Robin was away. Slade rolled his eyes again and walked out of the room to find Wintergreen. If this lot needed him for something they could come find him, all this talk was boring him.

Slade found Wintergreen in their rooms making a cup of tea and sighed. Wintergreen never did care much for listening to plans being made, he just did his best to help Slade. When Slade had been in the war, he and Wintergreen had worked together and Slade had saved him. Ever since that day, Wintergreen had dedicated to being Slade's butler and serving him to repay Slade. Wintergreen was Slade's only true friend and to date, the only one Slade cared or listened to. Slade chuckled as he leaned in the doorway.

"Enjoying tea, are we Wintergreen?"

"You would think finding the stuff to make tea in this place would be easy, but it's quite a job. I have managed it though. Would you like a cup? It looks as if your nerves have been shot."

Slade sighed, looking at his friend. How was it that Wintergreen knew him so well? "Yes," he finally said, "tea would be nice."

Wintergreen poured him a cup and handed it to Slade. He smiled at Wintergreen and sighed. This man was the only one who ever saw Slade with his guard down. Slade took a sip of mint tea, something he always drank when his nerves were frayed when he saw a woman enter. It was the woman who seemed to "work" for Zemo, but Slade figured there was something more behind that story.

"I'll leave you to your tea," Wintergreen said walking into a joining room. Slade knew his friend was just trying to give him some privacy and he appreciated his friend for it. Slade looked up with a sneer, returning to the mercenary everyone knew him as.

"What do you want," he asked in a board voice. The woman looked at him and flashed a winning smile.

Slade looked the woman over once, taking in all the details because he never missed a thing. She was of medium height with long, blond hair that flowed past her shoulders, and electric blue eyes. Slade supposed in most means eyes, this woman would be considered beautiful, but Slade had not cared about such things since the war.

The war was where Slade had made his first kills and he had never been the same since. It seemed all those kills in the war had torn his soul to where his was almost non-existent. After the war, Slade had tried to go back to a normal life, but it just wasn't meant to be. He gave trying to be "normal" and took on the job of a mercenary, and now he was one of the highest paid mercenaries. He started at the woman and waited for her response, still scowling.

"Come now Deathstroke," she said rubbing his shoulders as well as using his code name, "there's no need to be hostile with me, we're team mates." Her smile was bright as she ran her fingers through Slade's hair. He swatted her hands away and stood up, still scowling.

"Your ticks may work on others, woman, but I am not that shallow!"

"My name is Amora, and I came to see how you were. I know Zemo's speeches can be annoying, and boring, but you just have to look past that."

"Look," Slade said, his annoyance with her growing, "I did not ask to come here, I was just brought here! So, you can understand, maybe, my annoyance."

"Yes," Amora replied, "But we will make it worth your while," she said and with a wave of her hand a chest appeared.

The chest looked very old, like something you would see out of an old pirate movie, but remarkably well kept. Slade raised his eyebrow in intruset as Amora waved her hand again and the chest opened revealing loads of sparkling jewels and gold coins that would be worth a bundle of money and he smiled.

"This will be your payment for helping us," Amora continued. "As I understand it, a mercenary needs to be paid for his job." Slade looked over the treasure and smiled.

"It's a good down payment," Slade replied with a smirk.

"Down payment," Amora said with disgust!

"Yes, the only other down payment I require is that when we face the heroes of my world, I get Robin. If I can have Robin, and that chest, then I'm in," Slade replied figuring that this would make it easy to get his apprentice without fighting this lot for him.

"Alright then, it's a deal. It seems all the other villains from your world have a hero they want as well, so I see no trouble in giving you this one."

"Good," Slade replied," the we have a deal. You just hired my services."

Amora smiled as Zemo and the executioner entered the room. No one ever got close to Amora unless she let them or the executioner was with her. Amora looked up at Zemo and nodded, and with a wave of her hand the chest was gone.

Slade put his mask back on and then he followed the other three out of the room, and back downstairs where all the others were waiting. The four of them, (Zemo, Amora, the Executioner, and Slade), stood on a platform overlooking all the others. Zemo smiled at them all and raised his hand up to silence them.

"It is time to get started," Zemo stated. "Let's go take down the Avengers!"
