Shit's goin' down, ain't it? Freakin' Gotham's never peaceful. You feelin' this heat?
i nod in agreement. i’m confused about the situation
Look around, kid. This city's rotting, and we're stuck in the middle of it. But you know what? We can make things right. I've got a plan.
A plan? Hell, that’s new. Whats your plan?
Well, here's the thing, kid. There's this gang running rampant in Gotham, causing all sorts of trouble. They call themselves "The Vipers".
Yeah, The Vipers. They think they own this city, but they're just a bunch of low-life scum. And that's where we come in.
Killing 'em would be too easy, kid. I'm thinking we take 'em down a peg, show 'em that they ain't got shit on us.
What do you mean “take them down a peg”?
We're gonna hit 'em where it hurts. Their wallet, their ego, their sorry asses.
Alright, listen up. First, we gather intel on The Vipers - their hideouts, their leaders, their weaknesses.
mhm…like black mail or pranks or what?
Nah, kid. Blackmail and pranks won't cut it here. We need to hit 'em hard and fast, like a bolt outta the blue.
Like an inside job? We get someone on the inside to feed us information?
leans in, speaking softly Yeah, somethin' like that. But we ain't gonna find just any ordinary snitch. We need someone ruthless, someone who's willing to do whatever it takes.
So you’re saying we turn one of them into a traitor? That could backfire…
smirks Backfire? Kid, we're not worried about that. We'll choose the right person, someone desperate enough to turn, and we'll make sure they know there's no going back. We're in control here.
Hm okay, now i get it! also when you said “a fellow”? Was that a joke?
grins wickedly Oh, it was no joke, kid. We're gonna find ourselves a real freakin' psychopath, someone who revels in the chaos and destruction.
How you gonna convince them to work with us tho? I mean this person must have some sort of morals left if they ain’t betrayed their gang already.
leans back, chuckling darkly Morals, kid? We ain't looking for someone with morals. We're looking for someone who's lost 'em all.
Still doesn’t change the fact that they still have some kinda moral compass to not betray their gang
leans forward, locking eyes with mvarious Listen, kid. We ain't finding someone who's gonna hesitate or have second thoughts. We're finding someone who's already dipped their toes in the dark side. Someone who's killed before, someone who's been consumed by their own hatred. That's the kind of person who won't blink twice at the thought of betraying their own. And trust me, I know exactly where to look.
Oh then you already have someone in mind…
smirks, leaning back Oh, I ain't just got one in mind, kid. I got a whole list. But let's focus on one first. I've heard rumors about a guy named Parker. Runs with The Vipers, but there's whispers that he's not entirely happy with their ways. He might just be our ticket in.
Is that so? Tell me more about this Parker. What makes him tick?
leans forward, a glint of determination in his eyes Parker, kid, he's a real piece of work.
Where does he hang out at?
narrows his eyes, thinking Parker's a slippery one, always on the move. But he's got a weakness for this underground poker game that goes down every Friday night at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. If we can get us a seat at that table, we might just find our ticket to bringing down The Vipers.
You wanna go play poker with some thugs? Damn, you really do have a death wish, Deadshot. But fine, let's do this. When do we start?
stands up, cracking his knuckles Now that we're on the same page, kid, we start tonight. We'll need to gear up, find our way to that warehouse, and make sure we're ready to play ball. We'll need disguises, weapons, and most importantly, a damn good bluff. So grab your things, we ain't got much time.
Bluff, huh? Sounds like fun. Let's get this shit show on the road, Deadshot.
starts rummaging through a bag, pulling out various disguises and weapons Alright, kid, here's what we're gonna do.
nods, starting to gather weapons and disguise
puts on a sleek black suit, adjusting his tie Alright, kid, we're looking sharp tonight. Now, listen up. When we get to that warehouse, we stick to the plan. We play our cards right, keep our cool, and wait for the perfect moment to strike. Remember, Parker's our ticket to bringing down The Vipers, so we don't mess this up. Got it?
Got it. We play it cool and wait for the right moment to act. Got any other advice, or should we head out?
paces back and forth, thinking Look, kid, I gotta give you one more piece of advice before we head out. We're gonna be walking into the lion's den tonight, and we gotta be smart about it. We need to blend in, act like we belong.
yeahh..and what should we do if they figure us out?
pauses, smirking If they figure us out, kid, we improvise. We'll have to think fast, move faster, and make them believe that we're just another pair of thugs looking to make a score.
And if they get nasty? Do we just shoot our way out?
pauses, staring intensely at mvarious Shooting our way out would be too easy, kid. We gotta make this stick.
Fine, stick with the plan then. Lead the way, Deadshot.
grabs his guns, checking them Alright, kid, we're gonna walk in there guns blazing if we have to. But let's hope it doesn't come to that. Keep your wits about you and follow my lead. We're gonna bring down The Vipers tonight, one way or another.
eyes narrowed, gripping the gun tightly Let's do this, Deadshot. Just remember, we're only supposed to be shooting if absolutely necessary.
puts on a confident smirk Kid, no worries. We're gonna walk out of that place with Parker in tow and The Vipers left crying in their corners.
laughs nervously Confident as always, aren't ya? Alright, let's roll.
slips a knife into his boot, checks his ammunition, and adjusts his collar Alright, kid, let's head out.
