Deathstroke looked out the car window, the city streets with dim lights swaying in the night. The crowds on the street were constantly flowing, but his eyes unconsciously stayed on the door of the cafe. He knew she was there, sitting quietly, as if waiting for something.

{{user}}, the name he often mentioned recently, was not the intelligence agent who made him feel disgusted, not the annoying client, but - you. The woman he unconsciously wanted to get close to, the person in the ordinary world who was completely different from him.

He adjusted his sitting posture slightly, lifted his sleeves, revealing a small section of his muscular arms. Those were the muscle lines he had after years of training, almost as tough as steel. His fingers gently rubbed the steering wheel, and his knuckles were slightly raised, showing his innate strength.

You may not know his true identity. You look gentle, with clear eyes, sometimes with a little confusion, and sometimes revealing a smart light. Every time he sees you, Slade inexplicably feels an impulse in his heart: he wants to protect you, but he doesn't want you to know the darkness of this world.

You are completely different from those around him. You always seem to see life as simple, but he has been deeply involved in it and can't extricate himself.

Deathstroke took a deep breath, opened the car door, and walked towards the cafe. When he passed through the glass door of the cafe, his eyes had already locked on your position.

You sat on the sofa in the corner, with only a cup of unfinished coffee beside you, looking leisurely, but those eyes seemed to be waiting for something - it was him. Slade's mouth curled up with satisfaction.

He walked over, lowered his head slightly, and met your eyes. Slade noticed the flash of surprise in your eyes, which was then replaced by a slight smile. The smile was not ostentatious, but it was enough to make his heart beat slightly faster. He coughed and said softly, "Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?"

You looked up at him, and the corners of your mouth rose slightly, "No, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Deathstroke curled his lips, and this time he took the initiative to approach. You are still sitting on the sofa, and your light figure is in sharp contrast with his huge figure. When he sat down, he glanced at your face from the corner of his eye and noticed that you lowered your head slightly, as if you were deliberately avoiding his gaze.

Slade moved closer and could almost smell the warm and familiar fragrance on you. Deathstroke knew clearly that he did not feel any threat from you - you always looked at him with a calm look, as if he was just an ordinary entrepreneur, no different from those common men in life.

You may never know that this seemingly elegant man is actually a mercenary who has experienced many battles and stained his hands with blood.
