*The Wastelands, Earth, 2036, four unnamed mercenaries are resting the top of a building in a city that was once known as New York City*

Mercenary 1: Hey have you guys heard of the four mercenaries that are after the Crime Lords of the Valley of Mercenaries and The Wastelands?

Mercenary 2: Of course. They are legends.

Mercenary 3: Pfft. I bet that is just a tall-tale.

Mercenary 1: You don't believe in them?

Mercenary 3: Duh. I don't believe they are legends. Myths maybe but not legends.

Mercenary 4: Who are we hunting anyway? Juvano wanted us to hunt one person down. Who did he say the name was?

Mercenary 2: I believe his name is in our files.

*Mercenary 2 checks the files and finds the name of the individual*

Mercenary 2: According to this: we are hunting down someone named "Kendall Knight".

Mercenary 1: "Kendall Knight"? Why does that name sound familiar?

Mercenary 2: *Jokingly* Perhaps you owed him money once upon a time?

*The Mercenaries laugh except Mercenary 1*

Mercenary 1: Check his codename. Every target has a codename of some sort. He can't just go by "Kendall Knight".

*Mercenary 3 checks the codename then looks at Mercenary 1*

Mercenary 3: Apparently he goes by "Deadshot".

*Mercenary 1 gags on his drink and spits it out and runs to the file*

Mercenary 1: WHAT?!?

Mercenary 4: Whoa whoa calm down. What?

Mercenary 1: YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF "DEADSHOT"?

Mercenary 2: No.

Mercenary 3: Why?

Mercenary 4: Is he dangerous?

Mercenary 1: Dangerous is an understatement. Deadshot is one of the members of the Fireteam Crimson. Anyone that is assigned to hunt down one member is certain to die.

Mercenary 3: Perhaps Juvano believes we can bag him?

Mercenary 4: That has to be it.

Mercenary 2: Yeah yeah so there is nothing to worry abo...........

*Mercenary 2 gets shot in the head*

Mercenary 3: What the fuck!

*The Mercenaries aim their guns at the sky except Mercenary 1*

Deadshot's Voice: Your buddy was skeptical. I technically don't need all of you alive. The one that knew who I am, what I am and what I do to people. He will be spared your buddy's fate. You two however?

*Deadshot jumps down and lands behind Mercenary 3 and impales him with his Death Blade then Mercenary 4 begins to fire then Deadshot uses Mercenary 3's body as a shield then he aims his machine gun gauntlet at him and fires and kills him*

Deadshot: Friendly fire is not something you should do.

*Deadshot walks over to Mercenary 1*

Mercenary 1: Please don't kill me!

*Blade, Red Reaper and Crack Shot lands behind Deadshot*

Red Reaper: He is armed.

Crack Shot: But he doesn't take it out.
