Ah, very good mundane. I see you've decided to place your allegiances to the side more appreciative of your voice. It's an amusing devise that you've accomplished here, one I hope will shine light on the darker corners our dear Gotham is so intent on hiding.

There is always power to be found in the citizens' hands, after all.

[ A light smirk. ]

Not always.

[ As for that other comment, well -- he shrugs. ]

Suit yourself.

And what is the nature of a man, I wonder, who keeps company with the Bat?

Not a friend.

[ He's armored and armed to the teeth with weapons that kill. Assassins don't get on well with people who refuse to kill and try to interfere. ]

Though certainly not an enemy.

The Bat clan would tell you something different.

Clan, you say? An interesting prospect for the man who forsook his brothers.

In your time, maybe.

In mine, he's adopted quite an entourage.

Ah yes, the mundane has spoken of such parallels before. Intriguing, to say the least.

And explanatory of the one claiming to be the Bat's progeny.

There's a handful of those running around -- adopted like I said.

Does the term 'Justice League' mean anything to you?

A facet to the man that I will make note of.

[ Justice...League. he chuckles ]

I belong to a League of an entirely different nature. Justice is far too abstract for my liking.

And the Demon's Head?

[ Ra's Al Ghul. A twist if there ever was one. ]

I take it there aren't many people running around in brightly colored spandex where you're from.

...Retired.

[ a chuckle ]

Only if they wish to be shot faster for their visibility.

Talia?

[ His response is dry. ]

A startling difference already.

[ that name gives Bane pause. His first reaction is to kill this man for knowing, but as such actions are prohibited in this place...]

Perhaps a formal introduction is in order.

[ You'd have a difficult time of it, Bane. ~~Especially since he's immortal, but details.~~ ]

Deathstroke.

[ Yes, really. ]

You?

[ Bane really wishes he could go back to the realm where immortality was a metaphorical state of being ]

Bane.

[ suspiciously ]

You are not of the League of Shadows.

[ No such luck, Bane. ]

I'm familiar with the League of Assassins.

[ Not a member, not ever -- but he knows its reputation as well as the family that control it. ]

My Earth's equivalent of your League of Shadows. I've worked with Talia before.

[ while it is highly likely that Talia has some contacts which Bane is not familiar with, this still unsettles him. ]

Then certainly you are highly effective in your position, Mr. Deathstroke. Seeing as not many can boast such a claim as the air has left their lungs.

[ Different universes, Bane. Everything's wide open. ]

I had good teachers.

[ he nods ]

So I would imagine, if the League found you worthy.

Tell me, what is such a man's agenda.

[ A thin smile. ]

To offer a service others are willing to buy.

[ A gross over-simplification, really, but it's succinct if nothing else. ]

I must confess, I did not have you for the mere mercenary.

What did you think I was?
