Synopsis

After murdering his therapist at Arkham Asylum, Deathstroke’s identity was made public, and Commissioner Gordon ordered a manhunt. Damian Wayne, leading the Teen Titans, tried to get Jericho to betray his father, but Jericho refused. Damian had nightmares where Deathstroke killed his teammates Ace West, Roundhouse, Emiko Queen, Djinn, and Crush. The next day, he decided to go after Deathstroke for killing the mother of his close friend Sophie Evans. The Teen Titans attempted to disguise themselves as Deathstroke’s barber, but he saw through the trick. They managed to overload his suit, and Damian stabbed him with a knife coated in paralytic venom. Damian then took Deathstroke to his own secret prison, but Kid Flash followed after putting a tracer on Deathstroke. Kid Flash was furious to discover Damian had been locking up every criminal they captured in a hidden prison, and learned that Emiko Queen knew about it. While Kid Flash believed villains could change, Emiko and Damian insisted Deathstroke was too dangerous to let live. Jericho was revealed to have finally betrayed Deathstroke to the Titans. Deathstroke broke free and told Robin he would fix Damian by making him kill him. Damian woke from another nightmare to find all the villains in his prison had escaped because of Deathstroke. Atomic Skull, Black Mask, Brother Blood, Swerve, Gizmo, and Onomatopoeia attacked Damian, but Deathstroke returned in his Ikon Armor and saved him. Deathstroke then left, and the Titans rounded up the escaped criminals. Swerve realized Damian had infected the prisoners with a toxin that would kill them if they escaped, and that Deathstroke had freed them on purpose. Deathstroke tried to argue that Damian was just like him, but Emiko Queen shot an arrow into Deathstroke’s eye, killing him. The Titans argued among themselves about Damian’s secrets, and during the fight Lobo appeared. Ravager took out her anger on criminals. Jericho took control of the Teen Titans and tried to make them fight each other over what they did to Deathstroke. Meanwhile, Deathstroke’s friends and the Legion of Doom—Sinestro, Cheetah, Brainiac, and Gorilla Grodd—attended his funeral. Sinestro defeated Jericho, offered his condolences and respect to Deathstroke, and left.
