For the Suicide Squad members, Deathstroke is a traitor.
It's not because he betrayed the team or secretly plotted against everyone, nor is it about any national duty or sense of justice.
It's because he found a way to remove the bomb and didn't take them along when he escaped...
Killer Crocodile was the first to roar and charge at Deathstroke, raising his claws, intending to grab and bite him.
"Traitor!"
But considering his teeth, Su Ming thought it would be best not to bite the Promethium Alloy armor.
"Strangulation."
The Symbiote instantly understood Su Ming's tactic, quietly flowing out from beneath the armor, changing to match the color of the ground, and laying across the hallway like a carpet.
When Killer Crocodile charged forward, stepping on it, it violently tugged...
Killer Crocodile slipped, fell on the floor face-up, and Su Ming wouldn't give him a chance to stand up. The Godslayer instantly transformed into a Long-Handled Warhammer, striking Crocodile on the head.
"Duang!"
The huge echo traveled far down the corridor.
If it were an ordinary person, their head would have burst, but Killer Crocodile could be considered the Green Hide version of Sea King, lacking the blonde hair but possessing self-healing ability.
This hit would only cause him to faint for a while.
In his hand, the Godslayer slowly changed back to the shape of a curved blade. Su Ming stepped over the fishy-smelling Killer Crocodile and continued forward with intimidating momentum.
"I told you to come at me together, can't you understand?"
Death Shooter and Rick fired intensely, but Su Ming merely drew two guns and intercepted all their bullets in mid-air, sparks flying in the space between, but Deathstroke's pace did not slow even slightly.
"Too weak, I could shoot at you all day like this."
Against Death Shooter, Batman's tactic always worked, which was to charge in and strike his back.
Su Ming thought the same way; in such a narrow space, Flame Demon and Frost Killer wouldn't dare to use their abilities, as their fire and ice wouldn't distinguish between friend and foe, so enjoying the extremes of ice and fire was out of the question.
Samurai Sword's combat skills were decent, but her sword allegedly hosting her late husband's soul wasn't good enough.
As for Boomerang, not fleeing counted as a blessing.
"Cloak!"
The Magic Floating Cloak lifted his feet off the ground and carried him through the hallway at an unexpected speed, knocking down everyone with a punch.
Especially Captain Boomerang, who fainted before even being hit. Such shamelessness left Su Ming helpless, so he let him pretend to be dead.
"Harley."
"Hmm?" Harley carried her hammer, standing aside blowing bubblegum. She had no intention to fight and watched the commotion with a grin.
"Take me to see Amanda Waller."
"Pop." The bubble burst, Harley stuck her tongue out to lick the corner of her mouth: "Knock everyone down, then speak? Your way of negotiating reminds me of Batman, ha ha."
"Fear, mine is more authentic."
Su Ming's red goggles skimmed over her head, grabbed her shoulder, and continued forward.
Of course, any intimidation methods had no effect on Harley; she was too crazy to feel fear.
"You're not the Deathstroke I know, right?" Harley dutifully proceeded, watching Deathstroke knock out each security guard behind the door.
"How did you know?"
"Obviously because the Deathstroke I know couldn't fly. Just now, you 'whoosh' from the end of the hallway right to us, I naturally noticed."
Harley, hands on her hammer, swaggered alongside, observing.
Su Ming discarded the unconscious agents and directly broke open the door with a Great Sword: "So you don't want to fight me?"
"What? Oh no, just because I like your hammer."
...................
Everything went according to plan. When Su Ming broke the command center's door with the Nightfall Great Sword, the smart Amanda immediately understood Deathstroke's intention.
When the Suicide Squad awakened and regrouped, Su Ming and the hefty woman had already reached a consensus.
Amanda's eyes twinkled as she decided to collaborate, facing someone so reckless who could chop people anytime.
Their goal was merely to involve themselves in Justice League's affairs, which coincided with her wish to explore what was inside the barrier. Alongside the fact that Otherworldly Deathstroke already proved his strength, they quickly agreed.
Smart folks never need many words to communicate.
Even though the Main World Deathstroke also voluntarily entered the Suicide Squad last time and caused a major incident, under the current intimidation, she had no choice but to agree to cooperate, including additional conditions.
Like Su Ming needing the team's command.
Initially, Amanda opposed it, finding it insecure to hand her team to a stranger and only view location data across the monitor.
"We already have a captain, Rick is an excellent soldier."
Deathstroke's crimson solitary eye settled on the narrow-faced black woman, Amanda Waller wasn't good-hearted; she would do anything for "patriotism."
"Unfortunately, I disagree."
Unfazed, Su Ming drew and fired two shots, injuring Rick's legs, causing him to collapse instantly, Death Shooter too slow to react, leaving only Samurai Sword and Death Shooter supporting Rick, glaring at Su Ming.
Su Ming ignored their opinions, holstering his guns and addressing Amanda.
"Do you have other captain candidates?"
The black woman's countenance darkened further, what more could she say? Deathstroke simply left her no option.
...............
Thus now jumping from the helicopter was Deathstroke leading the Suicide Squad, undeterred by Amanda reneging to scheme against him.
Because that woman, on one hand, was equally curious about the contents beyond the barrier and required his combat prowess before resolving the issue.
On the other hand, she dared not provoke Deathstroke or top assassins like Siva without absolute confidence.
She might irritate superheroes; Batman and Superman wouldn't kill her, while she schemed and plotted against them, subsequently relying on the government to wiggle and make a fuss if exposed.
But she dared not provoke a top assassin like Deathstroke or Siva; their killing was like breathing, instinctive.
Otherwise, why did Main World Deathstroke continue vacationing or taking jobs globally after leaving the Suicide Squad?
Consider that Main World Wilson's identity was entirely exposed; the government found targeting him much easier than Su Ming, this undocumented citizen.
This was because Amanda simply couldn't estimate Deathstroke's grip over government dirt, she likewise feared the ultimate mutual destruction, accepting prior losses in silence.
Su Ming borrowed this world's Deathstroke's glory.
"Ptui ptui…" Harley spat sand, tidying her hair. The helicopter not only stuffed sand into her mouth but also ruined her hairstyle; her colorful twin-tails became frizzy: "So is this the place? But there's nothing here!"
