Adam woke up in his own personal puddle of sweat on his bed. He was having nightmares again. He washed he got up from bed, took a bath and brushed his teeth, but he stayed in his black hoodie and white shirt. and red scarf. He didn't need to change his clothes. They were magic, so they didn't tear or get stained, or get burnt. He put his hand threw his blonde hair to make sure it was still scruffy. Then he tried to remember his powers. He snapped his fingers and a fire ball appeared on the tip of his finger. then he put his two palms close together and watched the electric current flow. "Fire and electricity."he thought."I could do some damage with that."But he still felt like he was missing something. He finally remembered, then started concentrating hard. His swords then materialized in his hands. His dual katana's were pitch black all around, but had a green lining that was on the blade. He swung them a litle, then but them back in their sheaths which were strapped to his back and dematerialized them. He remembered how his mentor used to teach him how to use these things, but his mentor is dead. Killed by Superman. His anger started boiling up, but he controlled himself and left the room. He was met by Black Canary.

"Are you ready for your test?" she asked.

"Born ready." he said, with fire in his eyes. They went to the Watchtowers training simulation room. And Canary set the scene to be a destroyed city.

"First" began Canary, "What are your powers?"

"Super-Strength, Super-Speed but not as fast as flash or any of the speedsters, I can walk on the walls and ceilings, and I can control fire and lightning. With magic of course."

"What do you mean by magic?"

He removed his hoodie and showed he the tattoo on his right arm. "This is the mark of the master of the Phoenix Dragon and the one of Phantom Dragon on my left arm."he said, putting his hoodie back on. "The Phoenix lets me conrol the fire and the Phantom gives me electricity. So I'm technically half dragon." 

"Ok. That's...,.good."

Black Canary set the scene to a destroyed city."Begin." said the computer. Some training robots appeared all around him. He smirked a dragon-tootheed smirk and backflipped and landed on one of them crushing it. Then he countered a punch from another then ripped of it's head. He ripped of the leg of one of them then used it to beat up the last one. He waved the leg at Black Canary."What's Next?" he called.

This time, half a dozen flying robots came at him. The robots started releasing flying saucers that were firing lasers at him. He started throwing fireballs at the saucers and advancing forward, getting closer to the producers. He electrified one of the flying robots, short circuiting it it,then increased the volts causing a chain reaction, destroying all of them.

"Next!" he called. "I'm just getting warmed up!" Just then Black Canary came out from the operating room and set her fighting stace. She signaled for him to come and he charged at her. He blocked a punch to the gut and tried to punch her. She caught his hand in her armpit and flipped him flung him over her shoulder and he landed on his feet.

"Your good." he said.

She punch to his faced and a kick to his side, then a jumping knee to the jaw. He smiled at threw a punch to her but she caught his hand, so he hit her with his elbow in the nose and kicked her stomach, making her move back. They were blocking and dodging each other's punches and kicks until Black Canary got the upper hand. She jumped on his neck, flipped and released her gripped, throwing him through the wall of a building. She jumped on top of him, and punched his face, then threw him into a building side, knocking him unconscious. 

..................................................................................................................................................................Deathstroke was a worthy adversary, but nothing The Dark Knight couldn't handle. Deathstroke threw some shurikens at Batman but he caught them and threw them at the floor. Then Deathstroke drew his sword and charged for Batman. Batman was grazed by Deathstroke's sword as he was dodging the quick slices, then he countered with a punch to the face, knocking off Deathstroke's mask. Deathstroke was rocked so Batman kicked his stomach, then his face, and brought down his leg the assassins head, knocking him down. Deathstroke got up almost immediately and brought out a retractable staff. He elongated it and hit Batman in the stomach with the steel-tipped top, then at the side of his leg, bringing Batman to one knee and as he was about to give the final blow, Batman grabbed him a threw him of the building, then as he was freefalling, The Caped Crusader shot his grappling hook that got his leg an then released it making him fall unto the asphalt, face first.

Batman handcuffed him and was about to took him to the Watchtower to have J'onn try to see who Lex's "friends" were.
