Deathstroke's Shadow (DP/YJ)

Chapter 9

Shadow started to stir.

'Ugh, what hit me?' 

Shadow tried stretching out his limbs only to realise he couldn't move his arms. 

His eyes slowly opened as he finally managed to get his first look around as to see where he was. 

He found himself staring at four walls that were completely grey, one had a door, and another had a one way mirror. He sat in a chair that was bolted to the ground and his hands were chained down to a table in front of him. 

'Fan-fucking-tastic.' He inwardly groaned. 

He was in an interrogation room at the kiddie leagues' HQ, or better known of Mount Justice. 

He took an extra look down. All of his weapons had been removed and confiscated, including his utility belt. 

He took extra notice to the fact that his hood was pulled down, the cloth that usually covered his mouth and nose wasn't there and his mask wasn't on either.

'Thank the dead and damned for a ghost form.' He mused.

He also had an inhibitor collar around his neck. Which he inwardly laughed at. While the thing would still be able to shock him, he wasn't a meta so it shouldn't work on his particular powers as the league probably thought. And ghosts don't exist in their databases. Trust this, he checked.

He secretly glanced down at his foot and tried to turn it intangible. Just as he thought his foot went through the floor. 

Just as he thought. No information on ghosts, no way to cut off their powers. But, he'd let them think they had the win and play along with it. For now.

The door suddenly opened, cutting him off from his thoughts.

"Hello Batman." He greeted with a nod of his head, as if this would be an every day conversation. 

He watched as two more people followed in behind him.

"Oh, Superman and Martian Manhunter came as well." He turned his attention back to Batman, "what? Don't think you could handle me yourself?"

He could already see he was getting under Batman's skin with the jokes. 

'This should be fun!' He mentally laughed.

Batman took a seat opposite of him while the other two stood near the door. 

The martian must have came to try and read his mind and ensure Shadow was telling the truth. Superman on the hand probably came as backup if Shadow should escape.

Shadow looked at Batman, and the other looked straight back. 

"What's your name?" Batman started.

"Shadow."

"You're real name, kid." Batman stated, slight annoyance pooling into his features.

"Well, it isn't kid." Shadow half joked. "My master calls me Shadow, so does Harley Quinn and many others. Therefore, Shadow is a real name. It's my name."

"What was your name before Shadow?" The detective tried.

"Doesn't matter what my name was before. My name now is Shadow." Even the Bat could sense the amusement in the child at this point.

"Where are you from?" Batman tried.

"Earth." Shadow said with a simple shrug.

"Where on Earth?"

"The ground." Shadow smiled, clearly amused.

Batman inwardly sighed, deciding this was going no where, moved on to the next question that mattered the most. Despite his annoyance growing with this kid.
