Rogue Maneuver

Chapter 1: Meeting General Xia's Representative

The scene opens up in what seems like a tropical island in the Pacific. The notorious assassin known as Floyd Lawton, a.k.a. Deadshot was about to spend his vacation away from doing his usual business as being an arch assassin. This is however, disrupted by the entrance of a helicopter with the markings of the People's Republic of China on them.

"Well, what do we have here" said Floyd as he stepped out of the shade and noticed the helicopter landing.

As the helicopter landed on the ground, a woman and two soldiers came out of it, with the engines of the helicopter turning down.

"Mr. Floyd Lawton, I presume" said the Chinese woman.

"Can I please help you?" asked Floyd.

"You go by the code name Deadshot, don't you?" asked the woman.

"Why are the Chinese interested in my business?" asked Floyd.

"This does not exactly go with the approval of the entire Chinese government or the ruling party" replied the woman, "we are representatives of General Ju Xia, he wishes that we establish a meeting to discuss our terms for business."

"What kind of hit do you people really want me to do?" asked Floyd.

"Let me continue on the background of our good General, shall we?" asked the woman, "General Ju Xia is regarded as a hardliner of the ruling party, yet he's being undermine by more moderate forces, even within the military members are leaning toward having more acceptable relations with the West."

"Yet me get this straight, you need my expertise to create an international incident to place General Xia in power, am I correct?" asked Floyd, "First off, who's my target, and how much are you going to pay me?"

"Mr. Lawton, you're going to get paid in quite a load of gold, if this operation is successful" replied the woman, "your target is the Ambassador to the United States-Tu Yang. He's considered a moderate to the ruling party, and even if someone as moderate as him goes down, the rest of the party would have no choice but to look up toward General Xia as a possible successor to our current Chairman due to complete incompetence."

"How do I know your General won't use his new found position to ruin my fun time after such a success?" asked Floyd, "Say purposely use his position to create a major international incident?"

"Don't worry, the General is always willing to protect those whom have helped him into power" replied the woman, "we have received reports that the Ambassador to the United States is currently heading to San Francisco to spend some quality time. We'll provide you with the necessary transportation so that you can finish the job."

"Let's get cracking at this then" added Floyd.

Yet while the assassin going by the codename Deadshot was about to do a deed, a certain Batman was also trying to have a vacation of his own in San Francisco of all places. Instead of going having the time for a vacation as Bruce Wayne, crime was still afoot in San Francisco. One such example included a bank robbery, where two bank robbers had got into their get away car.

"Go, go!" cried the first robber to the get away driver.

"I'm on it, I'm on it!" replied the get away driver.

Yet as the three were about to head away, the Batman was watching them escape and began to send a grappling hook's end had attached right onto the get away car.

"What the heck was that?" asked the second robber.

"It's the Batman!" cried the first robber.

"Here in San Francisco?!" cried the get away driver, "I thought he resided in Gotham?!"

"Who cares, just keep on driving, hopefully we'll loose him" replied the first robber.

As the get away driver tried to swerve the car so that the Batman would detach him from the grappling hook, the car itself then veered into the market place where a certain Jackie Chan was doing shopping for Uncle, with his niece Jade Chan beside him.

"Can we get this?" asked Jade as she grabbed some candy from a nearby shop.

"Sorry, but Uncle specifically gave instructions to buy everything on the list first, and then see if we have room for others" replied Jackie.

"Please Jackie?" asked Jade.

"Fine" sighed Jackie, "I'll see if we have enough to pay for it."

Yet as Jackie and Jade were about to go, the car carrying the two robbers and the get away driver was heading straight toward the open market. Owners of various shops scattered to safety, as their items in their inventory, ranging from expensive pottery, to various foods and other ingredients.

"I can't see!" cried the get away driver as some fruit fell right on the front window.

This gave the Batman the chance to be able to pull himself up on the roof of the car.

"The Batman, he's up on the roof!" cried the second robber.

"Fire, fire!" ordered the first robber.

As the two robbers attempted to fire their guns into the roof of the car, the Batman was able to dodge the bullets, and then leaped right through the window knocking the two robbers out of the car landing themselves in the pile of mess they have created with San Francisco's local police already arriving on the scene. Yet the get away driver was still at the wheel of the car, and was trying to make odd maneuver, to get the Batman out of the car itself.

"This guy needs to get back to driving school" said Batman as he stumbled a bit after the get away driver made a wide turn.

While the get away driver was only concentrated on trying to get the Batman out of the car, the car itself was heading straight to where both Jackie and Jade were.

"Run away car!" cried Jackie as he grabbed Jade.

Jackie Chan was able to quickly get out of the way, even while protecting Jade. As the two managed to dodge the car, just in the nick of time, Jackie was shocked to see the Batman in the car trying to stop the driver.

"What the heck is he doing?!" cried Jackie.

"Wow, the Batman, here in San Francisco, how cool is that?" asked Jade.

"Cool?!" cried Jackie, "He deals with very dangerous people."

"You mean like you?" asked Jade.

"I mean, not like me in that same manner" replied Jackie, "I better go help him."

"Can I come?" asked Jade.

"No, too dangerous" replied Jackie.

"Yeah, like I'll ever listen to something like that" sighed Jade as Jackie went off to help the Batman.

Yet what a certain Jackie Chan was going to get into, was going to be something even much bigger than usual. For while the Batman was battling a common criminal, whom crashed the car and attempted to flee on foot, Floyd Lawton, a.k.a. Deathshot was just in the plane that was heading toward San Francisco. Floyd looked out the window of the plane, and noticed the scenery of San Francisco and all of its landmarks as the plane was heading toward the airport. Yet what Floyd didn't know was a certain Batman was in town as well.
