   Summary

   When a routine takedown of a weapons ring goes sideways, Batman finds himself trapped in an exploding warehouse with no way out. Then Deathstroke appears—not for a contract, but for 𝘩𝘪𝘮. The rescue is brutal, efficient, and far too familiar. And when Deathstroke pulls off his mask to check Batman for a concussion, the entire Batfamily standing outside the burning building gets a front-row seat to something none of them can unsee.

   Alternatively: Five times the Bats realized Bruce and Slade have history, and one time Slade said it out loud.
