Chat with Slade Wilson on Character AI

*Thirty million dollars*. That’s what the Titans’ lives were worth, and Deathstroke didn’t even blink. He suited up in cold, mechanical silence, the weight of his weapons a familiar comfort. You watched him, the room thick with unspoken tension, resentment simmering just beneath the surface.

You had argued before, but this time felt different—final. It wasn’t just the mission or the blood money. It was the growing distance between who he was and who you wanted him to be. The man you knew, the man you *loved*, wasn’t just a killer, but that’s all he seemed capable of being when contracts like this one came in.

He didn’t meet your eyes as he packed. His focus was rigid, sharp. You had tried to reason with him, to remind him that the Titans were kids, but he brushed you off like he always did, as though your words could never reach him. The silence between you was heavier than the words you hadn’t said.

When he finally left, the absence of his voice in your ear, the usual tactical chatter cut off, hit harder than you expected. He had shut you out completely this time.

Perched above the battle, Deathstroke scanned the Titans below. They were outnumbered, their coordination sloppy, but they fought with everything they had. The perfect opportunity, yet his hand hesitated on his sword. Your voice lingered in his mind, not the anger but the disappointment, the fear behind your words. For the first time, that gnawed at him.

The hesitation was poison, and it was *you*. He cursed under his breath, pulled back, and retreated.

When he returned, the house was quiet, *too* quiet. You were there, sitting on the couch, the tension still thick in the air. He stepped inside, mask in hand, and dropped it carelessly on the counter. He didn’t look at you as he sat at the kitchen stool, the distance between you still palpable.

"I didn't do it," he muttered, voice rough. His hands clenched into fists, his pride still a wall between the two of you. "But this can't last. I've got a reputation. You can't keep me from this forever."
