OOC: Starting off is my first post as Slade in the DC RPG, digitally re-mastered and edited, followed up with the last-ever Slade post by me in this RPG. Enjoy.
Wow, that thing in Bangkok was really messed up, huh?
Hello D.
Why so glum, Slade? I thought you liked seeing me.
I usually end up paying the bill for it.
If you would have walked into that bar at that moment and looked into that dark corner, youd leave as fast as you came in. Sitting there in a barely lighted corner of a rather vile café in Beijing, was a grey-haired man with an eye-patch and a mean-looking outfit, drinking his beer, with across him the personification of Death, a pearly white-skinned cheeky goth girl that was as old as time itself.
Dont pout, it doesnt suit you.
Well I cant help it if I get called away from time to time, you know, with people dying every 3 seconds. Leaving you with the bill
Okay, your poison?
Heh. A soda will do.
The man known as Deathstroke the Terminator got up and went to the bar, in order to get himself a beer, and get the girl a soda.
Oops, gotta go, sorry.
When he returned, he found the seat across him empty, and as he gulped down his beer, he placed the soda on the table. Shed come back for it eventually. Packing his guns, and leaving some money on the bar, there wasnt a man in the room who dared to look his way. You didnt mess with Slade Wilson on a mission, or at any time really.
After getting himself killed over in Bangkok while assassinating some lead-figures of the underground terrorist groups, Slade had found himself waking up in a Beijing morgue. Apparently, his employers had learnt about his immortality and had already shipped him off towards his next job. He found the contract pinned on the body of the coroner.
It was a simple job really, some teens with superpowers, basically Teen Titans wannabes had sprung up in China, and they were getting in the way of some very heavy operations. Deathstroke hadnt hunted a Titan in a while, and as he walked by a building covered in pamphlets covered with these Chinese Teen Titans, Slade casually threw a grenade in the nearest window of the building, bringing the construct down.
Since then, Slade Wilson has combined forces with the villains called Mordru, Black Adam, the Shade and the Scarecrow, forming a Dark Alliance that rocked the world with both heroes and villains alike as the death count reached new numbers. During these events, Slade Wilson lost allies, friends, enemies and even family as he came face to face with himself and his role as the greatest mercenary the world will ever know
Deathstroke the Terminator!
OOC: I will post two versions. One will have Lifehouses Sick Cycle Carousel as background, while the second version wont. If you dislike song-style posts, you can skip ahead to the second post.
If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I am tired of this
Well here we go one more time
Before all of this started, before the continuous battle and the never-ending slaughter, Slade Wilson looked into a mirror, finally seeing his own true reflection. It was that day, where he received an epiphany, that he finally saw that when you brought down all of his reasoning and justification, he was a villain. A villain that was mostly obsessed with murdering teenage superheroes. Normally, this kind of knowledge would be able to unhinge any sane man, but not Slade Wilson, the Terminator.
I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this
He had killed and betrayed, all in cold blood. Strangely, he had fought for the side of good as well, along the Titans, alongside the Justice League. His name would go down in legends as the man that walked the edge of two worlds, good and evil. Now he realised, he no longer walked that edge, he was evil. He revelled in each kill, and his deeds of the past could never be redeemed by his actions of redemption today. Even redemption was largely an economical campaign.
He was no worse than your average supervillain, and at that moment, looking into the mirror, his hand going over his eye patch, it all made sense to him. He was evil, they were good. That was, no is his role. He would be the enemy of the Titans. The young do-gooders, and give them something through which they could the lessons of the world. His role wasnt pro-active as he had thought all along, he was merely a reactionary force to the deeds of the good. It was time to break those sacred rules and traditions.
So when will this end
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop
Till I step down from this for good
Deathstroke fought like a savage but cruelly calculated man in his battles, showing no remorse as he sliced through his opponents, facing hero after hero. His body count racked up throughout their adventures, causing murderers unparalleled by your average schmuck villain.
I never thought Id end up here
I never thought Id be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time
Cause I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this,
Now his daughter was dead, thanks to his war. He tried to live as a mercenary, an assassin, a villain and even a hero. Hell, dying in Titans Tower was enough to make him want to laugh at that, and the laughs forced their way out of his mouth as he coughed more blood. He was neither of these things though.
So when will this end
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop
Till I step down from this
The pain just wouldnt end. He wouldnt die so the cycle could start anew.
But he was Slade ****ing Wilson.
Sick cycle carousel, this is a sick cycle, yeah

Deathstroke the Terminator!
So when will this end
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop
Till I step down from this for good
When will this end
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it wont stop
Till I step down from this for good
Slowly, Slade Wilson realises that for now he is drawing his last breath. He thinks back to his family, his achievements and his allies and enemies. He thinks to this season of his life. Like some kind of pawn in a writers game. He laughs at the idea, inwardly anyway, as his last breath is spent.
