The Avengers Meet the Justice League
Chapter 6
Slade didn't like it. Every time he went on a mission he left Wintergreen behind, or at least his pilot or driver, never anything more, but now it seemed that he would be a main part of the plan, even though Slade knew he never liked to be a part of the plans. Now Wintergreen was being told to be a big part of the plan, and Slade didn't like it.
The group drove to the Manner and parked close enough to have sight of the main door. Wintergreen sighed and got out of the car. Slade didn't like this because he could tell that Wintergreen didn't want to do this, but he stepped out and walked to the door anyways.
Slade saw the look on Wintergreen's face and was surprised. He had not seen that look on him since the war, the look of a determined soldier. Slade watched as Wintergreen rang the doorbell and a few minutes later an older man answered, 'he must have been the butler,' Slade thought.
"May I help you sir," the man at the door asked.
"Yes, my master and I were in town on some business and I'm afraid we got lost. My master's nerves are shot and he needs tea, but I am the only one in whom he trusts to make it right. Could we trouble you for some mint tea," Wintergreen asked. From the car Slade could tell his old friend did not like this, but he saw Wintergreen did a wonderful job at hiding it on his face.
"Of course, whats one cup of tea from one British man to another," the old man at the door smiled and Slade was surprised at how well this worked.
"That's our cue," Lex said pulling out one of his guns. The others all followed suit and with a roll of his eyes, Slade did too.
"Alright Jevesie, if he gets in we all do," Joker said with a laugh.
"Yeah, what Mistah Jay said," Harley replied holding her gun up.
The man at the door looked from Wintergreen to all the others and back at Wintergreen, confused. Wintergreen sighed and looked at his feet, his face no longer a soldiers face, but now it showed hurt and pain and it pissed Slade off that these men did that.
"Just do what they ask," Wintergreen muttered, and Slade couldn't take it any longer.
Slade pushed his way to the front of the group and grabbed Wintergreen and the other man, (Jarvis), by the shoulder and pulled them both inside as the rest of their group followed suit. The door closed and Slade looked at the butler and then at the group.
"Luthor, call Zemo and tell him we're in," Slade ordered.
""Why should I listen to you," Luthor challenged. Slade was starting to get annoyed and Deathstroke was starting to show. He pulled out his gun; he never missed a target, and aimed it at Luthor's head.
"Because I said so, because I don't like any of you and have no trouble picking you all off like flies, because you are getting on my nerves. Or because if you don't this next bullet will be going in your head!"
"Fine," Lex said, equally annoyed as he came into Zemo's frequency, "but not because I'm afraid of you… Zemo, we're in."
