Batcave

The bright light of the computer screen reflected on the face of Bruce Wayne as he finished his latest file. Details were listed before him about the League's newest strange case.

"Are you hungry Master Bruce?" The aged voice of Alfred asked and broke him out of his thoughts.

"I'm alright Alfred."

"Penny for your thoughts then?" He asked with a raised brow. "Perhaps you would like to talk about this file you've been working on for weeks."

"It's about Wolverine," Bruce sighed as he rubbed the tiredness out of his eyes. When the team was formed Batman became immediately suspicious of the clawed teen. He was an unknown factor. A blank page with no history, incredibly strong abilities, and little to no training.

The blonde was a mystery and was stumping the World's Greatest Detective so far.

Bruce turned back to the screen. Listed before him was all the information he could gather on Naruto and his powers. The blonde possed enhanced senses and hearing, to what extent was yet to be determined, metallic claws rested on his forearms and were released through his hands, energy manipulation, and finally cloning.

"This Naruto fellow is quickly turning into a jack of all trades," Alfred said as he too looked over the information. He could see why Bruce was worried about the boy. If Naruto ever decided to use his particular talents for more villainous pursuits even the Batman would have a hard time putting him down.

"I don't trust him. And from what Dick tells me the boy is a hothead." Bruce replied with a frown. The last thing he needed was some teen with anger issues being unleashed on the criminal underworld. Plus his lack of history worried him. It was like Naruto just popped out of nowhere. There were no missing person's reports that matched his description. No one out there looking for him. No date of birth. He was a mystery and Bruce hated mysteries.

"He's a young man that needs guidance. It says here that he believes Cadmus had something to do with the metal-infused into his bones. From the looks of this, this poor boy has seen the worst of what humanity has to offer. Sounds familiar doesn't it."

"I see what you're getting at Alfred. That doesn't change the fact that Naruto is a danger to both the Team and to the League." Bruce still couldn't quite believe that both Clark and Diana agreed to allow the blonde to stay on. The Trinity as they were called had discussed at length on what to do with Naruto. Clark was willing to give the boy a chance and Diana had said that a fresh start could help the boy, but neither of them had seen the teen in action. He had.

Those nights in the Underground looking for information were always the longest and hardest. His Matches Malone persona was good at getting criminals to let their guard down. The cage fights he witnessed there were brutal and Naruto was a rising star. His techniques were more like street brawling yet there was power in every strike. Bruce had an eye for talent and with proper training, Naruto could be a force of nature.

"Give him a chance Master Bruce. He may very well surprise you." Alfred said wisely with a small smile. "In the meantime, you have another invitation from Mr. Stark. He's hosting a charity gala in New York and sent you an invitation."

"Not Tony..." Bruce grumbled under his breath.

Ted whistled a tune as he got ready for another day of coaching. Some people in their advanced age would be taking it easy, chilling on a beach, or retiring to some community out in Colorado, but not him. His place was here in Gotham, helping as many as he could.

Even though he missed the old days.

Ted Grant smiled to himself as he wrapped his hands in bandages and proceeded to start his warm-up. He was ninety-one years old, but looked and felt thirty years younger. This was due to the life he had led in his younger years. When he was Wildcat, the brawler of the Justice Society.

Ted heard the doors to the gym open and he paused his workout.

"Hey were closed for the next hour. Wait like everyone else.!" Ted barked out as he looked to see who had walked in.

"Is that any way to treat an old friend?" It was a man who replied, his voice deep and rather animal-like.

"Who the hell are you? You sound familiar." Ted said with his face scrunched in confusion. Ted had met many people in his long life and it was hard to remember every single person he had encountered.

"To be fair the last time I ran into you it was 1942. You and that squadron of yours were fighting the Nazi's while I was doing the real dirty work." Ted remembered who it was now.

"How in the hell are you still alive!" Ted demanded as he took a fighting stance.

"Come on now Ted, is that any way to treat an old comrade?" The man asked as he leaned against the wall. "Fine, I'll make this quick. I'm looking for a teenager-"

"I always knew you were sick, but that's low even for you." Ted taunted as the man growled.

"I forgot how funny you were. But this is the part where you shut up and answer my questions." The man said sharply as his brown eyes narrowed. "I need to know where Naruto Uzumaki is."

Ted glared at the man with raised fists. "You ain't getting shit out of me." He replied with a frown.

"Hehehe, I knew you would choose the hard way." The man said with a laugh as he leaped forward with clawed fingers

"Damn is it good to be back in Gotham!" Naruto exclaimed loudly causing numerous people to look at him strangely. Naruto chuckled at their dumbfounded expressions. Not many people were happy to be in Gotham, but the sprawling city was his home. His territory. He had made connections here that he would protect.

"And my first stop on my tour back is a familiar apartment," Naruto said to himself as he walked in. He found himself in front of the right door and knocked.

"Whatever your selling we don't want it." The young voice of Jason Todd said from the other side.

"Open up Jase." Naruto returned. Footsteps could quickly be heard approaching the door. It swung open revealing a surprised face.

"Naruto?"

"The one and only," Naruto smirked before a small fist met his eye. "OW! What the hell Jason!"

"That's what you get for ditching me, you asshole!"

"I didn't ditch you, you brat. I was dealing with a government conspiracy!" Naruto growled

"Pfft, yeah right. You owe me!"

Naruto sighed in defeat. The kid did kind of have a point after all. Naruto had been in such a hurry to track down Cadmus that he had left Jason without any explanations. Just a pile of bloody clothes that needed to be burnt.

"Look I'm sorry Jason. I wasn't thinking-"

"Big surprise there." Jason interrupted.

"Shut it brat. I'm trying to apologize." Naruto said with narrowed eyes. "I'm sorry for leaving the way I did."

"But your not sorry for leaving," Jason muttered.

"No... I needed to leave. They sent freaking ninjas after me." Naruto exclaimed. "Though those bitchy ninjas got what was coming to them."

"Fine. But you owe me!" Jason snapped.

"How does Big Belly Burger sound?"

"It's a start," Jason answered quickly. The boy made his way to leave, but Naruto stopped him.

"Hold up Jase. I know a short cut."

"HOLY SHIT!" Jason shouted as he clung onto Naruto who was jumping from building to building. The blonde was darting across rooftops in a sprint with Jason piggybacking. Chakra flowed through Naruto's body and Jason was having a hard time holding on and keeping his lunch down.

"If you throw up on me, I swear to god I will drop you!" Naruto threatened as his legs kicked off a roof. The pair flew through the air. The fox had been working with him on his chakra control and he was getting better and better every day.

"This is amazing!" Jason shouted joyously. Naruto smirked as he made one final jump and landed in an alley. "As cool as that was, where are we."

"Jason I'd like to welcome you to Ted Grant's gym," Naruto answered with a grin.

"That's the old guy you asked to watch out for me while you were in D.C right?"

"Yep, but don't call him old guy, because he could still kick both of our asses," Naruto warned as they walked in. Their joyous mood turned sour at the state of the gym. The gym was the exact opposite as he remembered it. Ted always kept things in order, but now it was trashed with weights thrown everywhere, punching bags ripped up and the ring was smashed up.

"Yo Ted! Where are you?" Naruto called out as he and Jason stepped through the gym. This wasn't how it was supposed to be.

"This is kinda creepy," Jason said and Naruto nodded in agreement. He sniffed the air.

"Follow me," Naruto ordered as he led the younger to Ted's office. There was a strange scent in the air. Something that vaguely smelled...familiar?

'What the hell?' Naruto thought to himself. What could have done this? "Ted! Where the hell are you?!" Naruto shouted as he moved quickly through the wrecked gym.

"Naruto we need to be more careful!" Jason warned. Naruto's claws popped out of his hands causing Jason to step back. A growl escaped Naruto's lips as he marched through the building.

"Here..." It was barely a whisper, but Naruto heard it. His hearing was far greater than any normal humans. He moved forward to Ted's office that was nestled in the back. The door was ripped off its hinges and laying sideways on the ground. Something big came through. "Kid." Naruto's eyes widened in shock as he took in the downed form of Ted Grant laying before him. Deep lacerations cut through his chest and blood stained the floor. Naruto withdrew his claws instantly.

"Jason call an ambulance! Now!" Naruto ordered as crouched down next to Ted, tossing his cellphone to Jason who frantically began to call 911. "What the hell happened Ted?!"

The man strained to turn his head and look at Naruto. He grinned at Naruto showing bloody teeth to the blonde. "He tried kid... Tried to get me to talk. But I didn't tell him anything..." Ted wasn't making any sense. He was barely conscious and losing more blood by the second

"Who Ted? Who did this?" A familiar rage filled Naruto. It was a rage he hadn't felt since his little adventure in Cadmus. Being with the team had helped him control it somewhat, but in one instance it was back and so very tempting to give into.

"Said his name...was Sabretooth." Ted gasped out as he fell unconscious. Naruto heard it though and with one word his rage turned into shock as memory flooded into his brain.

A thirteen-year-old Naruto fell to the ground clutching the left side of his face. Blood flowed through his fingers and he looked up to glare at the clawed fingers that delivered the wound.

The hand belonged to a massive figure who stood 6'8. The man was wearing a blank tank shirt with cargo pants and brown military boots. He had short blonde hair, brown eyes, and a mouth set in a savage grin.

"Is that all you got runt. I expected more out of you." The man said disappointed as he wiped Naruto's blood off his fingers on his shirt.

"Fuck you Creed." Naruto glared as he slowly got up.

"Now that wasn't very nice." Creed admonished. "You've been here for almost six months and you constantly forget to call me by my preferred name." He brought his clawed hands up and into Naruto's chest causing him to cry out in pain. Blood poured from his chest.

"I'm Sabretooth!" The savage roared. Naruto felt hatred course through. He spat out blood right into Sabetooth's face. Sabretooth roared in annoyance as he wiped the blood out of his eyes. Naruto reared his fist back and launched it at him.

Right into Sabretooth's crotch.

"RRRRRAAAAAWWWW!" Sabretooth's pained roar echoed through the training field.

"HA! Fuck you Creed!" Naruto taunted as Sabretooth took a deep breath.

"You little shit! I'm gonna gut you!"

"Bring it fuckface!"

"Earth to Naruto!" Jason said as he poked the side of Naruto's head breaking him out of his thoughts. Sabretooth. AKA Victor Creed. A bastard who Naruto hated with every fiber of his being. Naruto just couldn't remember why. His mind was hazy on the details, but from what he did remember the man was in charge of his training. And by training he meant torture. "There's a blonde lady waiting outside for you."

"Thanks, Jay," Naruto said as he stood up and glanced at the sleeping form of Ted Grant. "Keep an eye on him for me." Ted was cut up badly with a broken arm and a few broken ribs, but other than that he was mostly fine. The doctors were amazed at the shape he was in for a ninety-year-old man.

"Not like I have anywhere else to be," Jason said with a smirk. Naruto nodded and walk out of the hospital room expecting to see a doctor standing out there. To his surprise, it was Black Canary. She was wearing civilian clothes instead of hero clothes, but it was her. Naruto remembered her beauty anywhere.

"Canary? What the hell are you doing here?" Naruto whispered as he shut the door behind him.

"Could ask you the same thing. How do you know Ted?" Canary asked, her eyes never leaving the old man's prone body through the window.

"He's a friend. Helped me out a couple of times." Naruto informed as he leaned against a wall. He needed a smoke right now.

Canary's eyes shifted to him. "Do you know who did this." There was a rage in her eyes similar to his own, though far more controlled. "Ted is my godfather and if you know anything about this."

"Slow your roll Canary. All I know is that someone wanted my attention and trust me they got it." Naruto growled as he pushed past her. Canary followed a frown on her lips.

"Don't walk away from me Naruto. If you know something tell me! I can help you. Ted isn't just important to you." Canary said causing Naruto to stop in his tracks.

"His name is Sabretooth. I don't remember everything, but from what I do remember he was... he was a monster. A savage man who tortured me to the point where I almost died and then decided to torture me some more for fun." Naruto said with clenched fists. Sabretooth was brutal and good at his job. "It's my fault that Ted is like this. Sabretooth did this to get my attention."

"I see. Is there anyone else that this Sabretooth would go after. Anyone else that you're close to." Canary questioned. Naruto's eyes widened. In all of Gotham, there were only two other people that he could call a friend. One was in the other room with Ted.

"Artemis." Naruto realized. He pushed off the wall and rushed down the hallway.

"Naruto wait!" Canary ordered but Naruto kept moving.

"No time to wait! Stay here with the kid and the old man. I need to check on something." Naruto said as ran out. Determination in every step he took. If Sabretooth would pay if he even touched her. That was a promise he most definitely intended on keeping.

Artemis Crock walked down the empty streets of Gotham on her way home. She was clad in a grey t-shirt that came to her naval, blue jeans and a pair of boots. She was also wearing a green hoodie with the hood pulled over her head to cover her long blonde hair. Her hands were wrapped in bandages from her nightly activities consisting of beating the crap out of any lowlife that got in her way.

Her mom was back in her life just as her father and sister exited it. Now she had all this training and nothing to do with it and her mom just wanted her to be a normal girl. Go legit and everything. There was just one problem with that.

She was far from normal.

Artemis had been trained by her bastard of a father all her life to be the perfect soldier and for the first time in her life, she was expected to not use her training. This had left her bored most of the time. Her mother still let her train, but it was nothing compared to before.

"Mom I'm home!" Artemis called out as she stepped into their apartment. The faint smell of something burning was in the air. "Did you burn dinner? Mom?" She moved to the kitchen to find a sight that chilled her to the bone. Laying across the ground was her unconscious mother. Her chair was in pieces. "MOM!" Artemis ran over to her mother, hand going to the side of her neck to check her pulse. As hse kneeled down she heard someone chuckle. Sitting casually on a nearby sofa was a wild-looking man with long blonde hair wearing a long brown coat over a black t-shirt, dark brown combat pants, and black boots. His fanged mouth set in a feral grin aimed right at her.

"Don't worry blondie. I didn't hurt mommy dearest there... Too much that is." The man informed. Artemis stood up and faced him.

"Who the hell are you?!" She demanded. "Did my father send you?"

"I could care less about Little Larry Crock. It's the runt I'm here for." The man answered as he popped his fingers. "Here's to hoping he got my message from earlier." The man stood to his full height of 6'8, towering over Artemis.

Artemis growled before launching herself forward with a fist at the ready. The man caught it before throwing her into a wall. "Hold on, brat. Don't go getting ahead of yourself." He grabbed her by the throat and raised her off the ground. His clawed fingers starting to dig into her neck. Artemis clawed at the hand, struggling to breathe.

"The funs just getting started!" The man growled. He had been growing bored ever since his little spar with ole Wildcat. The old man was still tough even after all these decades, but age had caught up with Ted unlike him. The man loosed his grip allowing Artemis a moment to breathe. "Don't want you to pass out yet girl. I haven't gotten the chance to cut you yet and hear you scream...!" Taking people away from Naruto was always fun.

"W-w-who are you." Artemis wheezed out.

"The names Creed. Victor Creed. But you can call me-"

"SABRETOOTH!" A roar called out as the front door was smashed by Wolverine. He was wearing his costume and his metallic claws were at the ready as he glared at Sabretooth who grinned. He dropped Artemis to the ground, his focus taken up.

"Bout time you showed up!"

Wolverine roared and charged forward stabbing his claws deep into Sabretooth's chest eliciting a scream of pain. Wolverine kept pushing forward until both blondes went crashing out a window.

Sabretooth twisted mid-air so that Naruto would hit the ground first and both men collided with a passing car. Glass shattered and pierced their skin. The orange-clad teen groaned from the impact as he pushed Sabretooth off him. Sabretooth grabbed Naruto by his bloody top and threw him into a parked car.

"Come on runt! Give me a fight!" Sabretooth mocked. Sabretooth's hand reached up and plucked a large piece of glass out of cheek. "Or did I come to Gotham for nothing?" Wolverine growled as blood filled his vision. He swiped at Sabretooth who sidestepped and returned it by digging his clawed fingers into Naruto's back and launching the teen forward. Naruto tumbled across the ground before rolling to his feet.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"Wolverine called out as over a dozen clones appeared in puffs of smoke. The orange-clad teens charged at Sabretooth who roared at the challenge.

"This fucking trick again!" Sabretooth said as he clawed through two of the blondes. One of the clones jammed his claws into Sabretooth's side, but the animalistic man backhanded the clone dispelling it. Sabretooth began to swipe wildly, slashy his way through more clones that popped in puffs of smoke. "Is that all runt!"

"No!" Wolverine shouted as he rushed in and drove his claws deep into Sabretooth's chest. "This is!" Sabretooth roared in pain as blood flowed through his wounds. Wolverine brought his other hand and drove it in right next to his other hand. With a mighty heave, he launched Sabretooth into the air and watched as he landed on a nearby parked car.

"Heh.." Sabretooth chuckled as he laid across the car. A crowd had formed from many of the nearby apartments watching the two beat the hell out of each other. "Haha haha!" Mad laughter came out of Sabretooth. "I forgot how much fun it was to fight you, kid. You remind me of such happy times."

"Go fuck yourself, Vic," Wolverine replied with a snarl. Their wounds were healing quickly leaving nothing but smooth skin.

"I thought I told you, runt..." Sabretooth got up and grabbed the door of the car. His claws ripped through the metal and with one pull the door came off. "Call me Sabretooth." He proceeded to throw the car door right at Naruto who ducked to avoid it.

Sabretooth moved far faster than you would think and was quickly on Wolverine, grabbing him by the neck and slamming him into the ground.

"Weapon X has come to collect runt. You can make this easy or we can do this the hard way." Sabretooth said as he began to choke Wolverine. "Please continue to do this the hard way!"

Wolverine thrashed about trying to get Sabretooth to let go to no avail. Spots filled his vision as naruto struggled to breathe. He drove his claws into Sabretooth's shoulder but even then Sabretooth didn't let go.

"Release it brat. Release your rage!"

A familiar feeling began to take over Wolverine. The hellish rage that often took over him. His eyes began to slowly turn red.

"There's the animal." Sabretooth taunted with a feral grin. He loved this never-ending dance of battle and bloodshed between him and Naruto. The kid had a fire in him and Sabretooth wanted to snuff it out.

Artemis quickly pushed the door open and rushed outside to see Sabretooth getting the best of Wolverine. She tossed a knife threw the air and watched as it slunk deep into Sabretooth's neck. Blood squirted out of the new wound and Sabretooth was forced to stop choking Wolverine and instead clutch his bleeding neck. With a quick pull, the knife was out.

Wolverine took a chance to gasp for air, his eyes returning to normal. He rolled away from Sabretooth and collected his mind. He couldn't lose control. Not here and not now with this many people around.

Sabretooth glared at Artemis who defiantly glared back. The long-haired man stood up and moved to approach the teen girl, but Wolverine followed and drove both claws into Sabretooth's back

"Rarh!" Sabretooth roared out as Wolverine pulled back. The two warriors were covered in red and their clothing was ripped to shreds. They looked more like animals than people. Each trying to rip and tear into the other. Hatred in each swing of their clawed hands. "Shit..." Sabretooth mumbled weakly as collapsed to his knees. Wolverine reached up and pulled his cowl back. Naruto glared murderously at the older man. "Well? What are you waiting for? I'm going to heal soon runt. And you are not going to like what I do to blondie over there once I'm back to full strength."

Naruto placed his fist against Sabretooth's temple. One pop of his claws and Sabretooth would be done for.

"Stop!" The voice of Black Canary called out. The blonde heroine was pushing her way past numerous civilians with a determined look on her beautiful face."Wolverine you have to stop. It's over. He's beaten."

"It isn't over and it won't be over. Not as long as this asshole is breathing." Naruto snarled, glancing up at Canary. "He'll continue to hunt and kill anyone that matters to me! You! Ted! Artemis! None of you will be safe!"

"No Naruto," Canary said using his name."I'll stop him before he can hurt anyone else, but this isn't the way. Ted wouldn't want this."

Naruto dropped his head in concentration. A million thoughts filled his head. He glanced at Artemis who nodded at him.

"Come on runt. I'm not getting any younger here!" Naruto growled at his foe as he continued to taunt him.

"SHUT," Naruto's fist hit Sabretooth hard."UP!" He hit him again, just as hard as the last one. Sabretooth dropped face-first to the ground, his nose twisted and broken.

"You okay?" Artemis said as she approached the heavily breathing blonde. She placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder. The feral teen smiled at her.

"This is not how I wanted our second date to go," Naruto answered. Artemis laughed as the gathered crowd began to cheer. Naruto looked on in shock. He wasn't used to feeling this. Like a hero.

"Well, would you look at that sir. Young Naruto has surprised us yet again." Alfred said with a small smile. It was amateur footage shot from a civilian from a nearby apartment but it still showed the young hero going toe to toe with Sabretooth.

"He was sloppy. His moves were easily coordinated and he left to many openings... But he also did an adequate job." Bruce admitted. Alfred knew that was as close as the Dark Knight got to complimenting someone.

"It looks like our orange-clad friend isn't leaving Gotham. Are we going to bring him into the fold?"

"Not yet," Bruce answered as he pulled his cowl over his head. "There are still too many variables regarding Wolverine, but in time things may change," Batman said as he stood up and made his way to the Batmobile. "Wolverine needs to questioned regarding his connection to Sabretooth. I'll be back Alfred." Batman learned quite a bit from watching that video and he would file it away for later. Right now he was needed in Gotham.

"Have a good night sir."

"I told you I'm fine," Naruto growled as Canary and Artemis checked him over. The trio had made their way back into Artemis's apartment and the two women ganged up on him. One part of him didn't mind that two smoking hot blondes were checking him for injuries. Another part hated the pocking and prodding. "All I need is a beer, a cigarette, and a shower. In that order."

"Naruto you tackled that guy out a window. You are delusional if you think you're fine." Artemis said sarcastically. But there were no visual wounds on the blonde. No cuts or bruises to speak of.

"That healing factor of yours sure does come in handy," Canary said as she stopped her prodding.

"Tell me about it. Though it doesn't heal everything." Naruto mumbled as he rubbed the scar over his heart. He still didn't know where he had gotten it or why it hadn't healed. "So how's the old man."

"He woke while you were gone and scared the hell of that kid you left to watch over him. Doctors are amazed at his recovery."

"They're not the only ones. What's his story? There's no way he should look the way that he does or be back on his feet." Naruto asked curiously.

"That is not my story to tell," Canary asked amused. Ted had lived an interesting life and the more she talked to Naruto the moe she was reminded of her mentor. The same attitude and drive filled them.

A buzzing sound filled the room and Canary reached for her League communicator.

"It's Batman... He needs to know about what went down in his city."

"Yeah, I figured he give a call." Naruto said with a frown. He was still weird to have some of the greatest heroes in the world interfering with his life.

"I'll go talk to the big guy. It looks like you two need to talk..." Canary teased as she walked out of the room. There was an awkward silence between the two teens as they both glanced at the other.

"So how's your mom doing?" Naruto started. The elder Crock was still out but was given a check-up by Canary who deemed her fine if slightly bruised.

"She's okay. That Sabretooth guy roughed her up pretty good, but nothing too serious." Artemis answered causing Naruto to sigh in relief. He knew what Sabretooth was capable of, the carnage he was willing to inflict on a person.

"I'm glad to hear that. And I'm sorry I dragged you two into this."

"It's okay. My life was hectic even before you entered it." Artemis replied with a smile. "So superhero huh?"

"Yeah this is a new development and is something I'm still getting used to you," Naruto admitted with a shrug.

"The choice of costume is... interesting to say the least."

"It's the orange, isn't it? Everyone has to hate orange."

"No! I like it. It suits you." Artemis said quickly causing Naruto to chuckle.

"You should have seen the look on your face," Naruto said as his chuckle turned into a joyful laugh.

"You jerk!" Artemis said though she too started to laugh. The two continued to talk through the night even as they were watched from afar.

"Aw isn't that sweet... I just love it when a young romance starts to form." A man clad in a red and black outfit said as he watched Naruto and Artemis through the scope of a rifle. It would be so easy to take out the girl. Give Naruto a reason to hate everything even more. But that wasn't his style.

"No, it isn't." The merc said in agreement. "I bet you weren't expecting to see me, but what can I say. This story needed more Deadpool." Deadpool said as he touched a device on his wrist and teleported away.

Miles away the man appeared above a police transport vehicle. He dropped down on top of it and pulled out his two katanas from their sheathes.

"Knock, knock!" Deadpool shouted as he brought the swords down and cut through the metal. He dropped into the truck to see Sabretooth surrounded by five officers and chained up. "You guys are supposed to say who's there." The cops went for their holsters. "This next part is going to be messy so it would probably be better to go to the next scene now," Deadpool said as he drove his sword into the first cop.

"It's about god damn time you showed up Wade," Sabretooth growled as they exited the now crashed transport.

"Well, I wanted to take my sweet time. Make you think you were taking a vacation to Arkham for awhile." Deadpool replied as he put his swords away and wiped a finger off his shoulder. "Gross. So, the little fishcake grew up didn't he. And boy did he kick your ass."

"Shut up Wade. That runt won't be so lucky next time."

"Sure whatever you say, Vic. Anyway, Stryker wants you to report to him about tonight's little failure. Good luck with that conversation. Ta ta!" Deadpool mocked as he teleported away.

"Shit..." Sabretooth mumbled as he disappeared into the Gotham night. Stryker was not going to be happy.

Hey guys I'm back again with a new chapter. This one took longer than I thought it would but finally got it finished. Some big-name Marvel characters were introduced in this chapter and more are sure to come in the future. Next time will be about the episode Dropzone and focus more on Naruto's interactions with his teammates.

In other news have you guys heard about the new interactive Batman movie focused on one of my favorite characters ever. DC is actually allowing us to redo Jason Todd's death. So that is super fucking cool. Also, we' finally are getting the Snyder cut and I'm excited to see how different it is from the one that was already released.
