Slade had gotten himself everything he needed for the assault and it seemed he got to Slaughter swamp exactly when he needed to be as the heroes and the villains began to fight Slade positioned himself in a tree with an assault ridle. He had gotten specially crafted armor piercing explosive rounds he was dying to find out and lucky for him the Flash was wide open for a shot. Taking his time to analyze the Flash's movement, he fired a one powerful shot knowing the bullet was lead enough that should the Flash continue making the tornado it would take out his right knee. However even if the Flash detected the bullet and moved out of the way it would hit the tree behind him exploding on impact with enough force to send splintered shrapnel into the Flash's back which would hopefully slow him down enough for Poison Ivy to recover and defend herself.
After the two shots were fired Slade had no intention in staying in the tree. It was to risky instead he hopped out leaving the sniper rifle there as he extended his power staff and shot a energy blast at the tall dark haired woman heading towards the fray. Slade thought about making sure the maniac escaped however that was not why he was here. He wanted to know if the next generation was truly up to snuff. Besides it was always fun to knee cap a cocky flash.
*Editted: So that instead of a sniper rifle is using a regular Assault rifle. Also explained exactly where on flash's body he is aiming and what Slade's plans for the shot were.

As almost as if on cue, a loud roar of a 550 horsepower Chevy Big Block engine seemed to shake the swamp as a pickup truck tore into the swamp from about a football field or two from where the action was the hottest. A large shadow jumping out of the tailgate and into the swamp as a large fellow got out of the truck, pointing his lights into the swamp, cocking his shotgun with a loud k-klik.
Apparently the commotion had interrupted Arell's hunting trip, and by the look of the Cajun's face, he was FAR from happy.
"A'righ' . . . who da ******** who jes' signed dey own death warrants?" he growled, walking forward into the swamp, catching a mook who got too close and using the butt of his shotgun to knock a few teeth out.
[OOC: Sorry to be a pain and interrupt the flow of things but I have to call this post out Josh. Not only do you NOT say as to when you aim towards the Flash and fire, e.g: Before he gets to the joker, which the joker has technically acknowledged so cannot now be interrupted or when he's going up against Ivy which can be; but you've also kind of auto-hit him due to not being specific enough in your post. Luke can't possibly tell when those shots were supposed to have taken place and therefore can't actually reply properly.
Also if Superman can outrun a bullet, so can the flash, by quite the ways. Would you even be able to aim at such a fast moving target, Deathstroke has taken out Flash before but that was with pre-planning and stuff. So, can you please edit your post a little so it makes a little more sense? Thanks.]

That was two down and ninety eight minions left to go through.
In the area of Starfire and Vlad there were three prepared to pounce.
Vera had rightfully and totally killed two in a way Joker would have found incredibly amusing.
Two were injured but slowly standing as their hands pulled out Joker's Bombs from beneath the muck near the Flash and three more were coming with larger ones in hand.
Two were sauntering over from over by Poison Ivy with guns and large canisters of Joker Gas. Easily penetrable, and they shoved them deep into the muck. A deep enough dent or a pierce could easily cause them to explode and spread the Laughing Gas into the swamp.
And it seemed like this redneck hill-billy had knocked out the teeth of one while another two were falling from the trees in a sneak attack. One had a metal bat, the other bare handed.
In total, there were thirteen prepared to fight. And they would.

Arell lit a cigarette as he heard a rush of air. Turning around he immediately went after the man with the metal bat, countering his strike with the barrel of his shotgun before throwing him over his shoulder into the swampwater. The other had miscalculated his landing and landed near the gaping maw of Big Head, who was poised to strike.
"Big Head! Git 'im!!" he shouted as the gator clamped down on the mook's foot with a bone-crunching SNAP!
That lead him to deal with Mr. Happy with that metal bat. Kicking him in the chest, he sprang back, opening fire at the man's legs. He'd worry about Toothless when he came to. Right now, they had some work to do.

As "Blake" explained a handshake, Kotand'r watched him carefully waiting for him to try something. However as his explanation he seemed no more dangerous than before, that is until he said his troop was on the other side of the country. How could they be there already? It made no sense, that is until he stated one was found and threw a few smoke bombs. Then before she could react a large mass hit the young Tamaranean, it was the body of a strange man with a helmet. His attack combined with not Blake's surprise caused her to be momentarily overwhelmed.
Kotand'r would stay under the brute for a few moments as she reconstituted herself. Once she had her bearings again, she decided to once again show though they looked alike Kotand'r was not Koriand'r. Using her strength, which was the biggest difference between her and Kori who had been more in tuned with her energy powers. Using a burst strength to push herself up Kota would push the brute off with great force sending him off her and hopefully into one of the thugs by them. However if he had agility to match his strength it was unlikely he'd knock the thug out; ether way this maneuver would free her and let the Tamaranean help others.
Darius hadn't kept running around Ivy, as the tornado was semi self sustaining but starting to dwindle as it had been only to pull the woman away from her plants so that his Tamaranean friend could follow up but it seemed this wasn't the case and the clowned dork was once again on the run. Darius heard something in the wind as the speed force granted him the ability of an almost precognitive sense, since he heard things at a faster rate, and then he saw it the bullet coming directly at him, since he had already stopped. He reached out to it channeling the speed force through him to the bullet as he attempted to steal it's speed. An ability he was not too adept with yet but he wanted to attempt.
The bullet began slowing until it finally fell. Darius took a knee for a sec as he began breathing heavily, but he didn't stay down long, a second was literally a second with the Flash. He was still breathing heavily as he took off from his knee back toward the Joker. He would zoom into his opponents punching them hard with increased speed as he knocked them out and stole their canisters and threw them into the water of the swamp . He would then return on his hunt of the Joker as he sped up behind the man tying his shoes together to trip him and then was already in front of him, moving at the incredible speed he did and attempted to knee the Joker right in the face with speed and power that would send him flying into the pick up truck that came roarin into the swamp.Stay! Good Clown.Darius would say if he succeeded.
He would only look to the man with the large gator and shake his head"Now I've really seen it all."Darius said with a smirk, not moving to attack anymore thugs as of yet.

Arell saw what looked like a . . . tornado?! In the middle of a swamp?! " . . . Da hell is DIS?!" he asked, his Cajun accent betraying him as he saw it wind up to be the Flash! "Hot damn! Whadda you, Speedy Gonzales?!" he asked as he whirled around and punched out the guy who got his teeth knocked out, who clumsily tried to sneak-attack him. Trading his beloved twelve-gauge for what looked like a bowie knife as long as his arm, smirking as the one of the other goons met a grisly end, the gator going into a death roll.
So it was down to one who had been injured heavily in the legs, and one who looked in good enough condition. That's it? Why the hell do we need four heroes for these assholes? One riot, one ranger must not mean a damn in Gotham! he thought as he beat down the other one, slashing at the other goon's chest.

Vera had been a little over whelmed when a flash of red had run by and well... hit on her. She now had a moment to ponder over what he'd said. She didn't normally go out for any kind of meal with masked men. Them and demons were kinda not the type of folks you really wanted to hanging around with much. The former, frankly you didn't know what you might get under said mask.... unless it was one of those domino ones...yummy... but anyhow not an overly good idea and there was the fact they usually had a reason to be wearing mask - double lives and the drama that brings. As for the latter - demons... well you might end up being dinner. She would have said her mind on the matter of the "bite to eat", however he was indeed gone like a flash, before she could do anything about that statement. So she fallowed along with her plan of helping out the others.
Right as she came into the area where all the hoopla was going down a blast of energy came rushing at her. Vera held up her palm and the energy rocked backwards fast as a heart beat and doubled its power. She sent the thing to its source unhindered by anything in it path to blast the weapon it had came from. Though it seemed now she was in for some more clown problems. She sighed, as a good collection of Jokers Man closed in on her. Before she did she had just enough time to notice the Flash was pretty handy, in fact she might make an exception to her little no-no on dating masked men. She also notice it seemed for the most part the other hero's were holding their own.
She waited till the Joker's "Toys" formed that oh so common, ring of bad guys you've seen in the movies. She then jumped into the air as four of them rushed at her and hit the ground with a surged of thermokinesis flash freezing those still holding the ring shape. One of the lucky four grabbed hold of her leg yanking her down so they both smashed to into the now ice covered ground. Vera body skid into one of the ice statue once she made contact with the ground. From the ground she notice a thick green - grey looking fog rolling out about the trees. " Oh No." She and said," eb enog rekoj sag !" Wither that had something to do with the Flash's Speed Force moment Eh who knows. Magic is funny like that but the gas was no more for the time being. She rolled over to see if the last four tugs still had fight in the her leg was still being held. " Well normally you have to at lest ask me out, before getting that far hon. And I've had better offers tonight."

The Flash was indeed the Flash. He easily whacked five of them around and by his mistake, the bombs and canisters he threw from their hands exploded next to one another due to the sudden force of withdrawal (pulling the pins quite wretchedly from their possessors) and pressure build up from the speed they were moved at. Two were unconscious, unable to sustain the blows he provided while three were slightly injured and preparing for the circulation of gas with masks of their own and procuring fire-arms.
Explosions resounded throughout the area, and even as Vera had cleared the last of the gas Joker had expended, more was oozing and spreading among the surface and trees and muck were sprayed everyone from the force of bombs exploding near one another - causing a reaction to disturb a canister one of the minions had placed only moments before Vera had frozen his lower half.
The laughing gas and toxic poisons were spreading quickly due to the Flash's speed, circulating the gas as he ran around in his hunt for the Joker and flirting with the ladies.
And speaking of ladies, Vera had rightfully done in three of Jokers Minions - almost. They were struggling with their frozen limbs and were slowly turning into hysterics from the gas. The toxins were simply paralytic, nothing deadly as well as his trademark laughing gas was causing absurd smiles to breach their faces. And the one minion who had a hold of her had pull her leg once more, in order to pull her closer to him just as she began to turn, and aimed a brass knuckled face to her beautiful features.
In regards to the Redneck Hillbilly, the minion with the metal bat took the counter and was flipped over the shoulder and landed feet first in the swamp water. He pulled out three firecracker bombs and quickly threw them down underneath the vehicle, causing explosions to sound violently and rock the undercarriage of the vehicle. If anything, it would cause a larger explosion. Smoke spread around them, just a shield in the mix as a scream echoed through the swamp and the sounds of a hungry gator going to town on a minions leg and the rest of him. The toothless fellow who got knocked in the face had backed away from the redneck and pulled out a large knife of his own.
In the fray, ten more minions were approaching. Five of them had firearms, three of them with a metal bat or crowbar, and two of them with blades. Each of them carried four candied firecracker bombs, two medium sized explosive bombs, and each had a large container of laughing gas on their backs. While yes, they would not be as quick as the flash or the most agile, they certainly carried their load.
That totaled to eleven large sensitive canisters of Laughing Gas, and roughly twenty minions. Although Vera had managed to clear the initial amount of gas in the area, more was being spread by the Flash and his speed and simply by the use of by the minions.

ten more make an appearance, heavily armed (guns, more joker gas, bombs)
Vlad would in fact prove himself speedy, just as he was incredibly strong and large. The brute already had the scent of blood, and the desire to defile the lithe girl beneath him was too strong as to let her go. Had his eyes been visible, the eerie red glow of bloodlust would shine like a star.
She was strong, very strong. Vlad was pushed into the air, but upon landing feet first, he pushed off of his left foot. He hadn't gone far from the girl, giving him, and his huge size, the advantage at the range of a mere five feet. With the push off of his left foot, Vlad's right fist would swing from behind his body, going straight for the girl's chest in a crushing palm strike.
The tamaranean would find out that Vlad had the type of strength that left other super's wanting. Her durable body could be broken with a single, hard punch.
Vlad's other hand would follow up in a swift uppercut. With the size of his fist, it would smash into her ribs, and follow up to slam into her jaw. Oddly enough, Vlad gave the impression of a very skilled boxer at first glance. It bellied his crazily brutish appearance.

((Sorry about that. I'll make sure not to do it again.))
Arell was already angry, but when he tried to blow up his truck (which didn't work. The explosions were fancy but he missed the tank) Arell flew into a fit of RAGE.
"Oh HELL no . . . you did NOT just do that!!" he growled, slashing at the wanna-be demolitions expert, not paying toothless much mind. This guy had the mentality of a shark, and he smelled blood.
However, Toothless decided to back away, he didn't notice one of those "roots" . . . that being the back half of Big Head, who got up and whipped his tail, the intention of tripping over the fellow who nudged his foot around him. While Arell was in the fight, Big-Head was enjoying the free dinner buffet. He didn't even have to flush out the food. They were all coming to HIM!
ᴄᴜʀʀᴇɴᴛ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs: How much of this did Joker plan and how much was happy coincidence? ʟᴏᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴ: Swamp ᴏᴏᴄ: I tried to add enough detail. Hope this works as a intro post for Bats
When Batman arrived at the swamp, he saw the chaos going on, and a quick glance at the minions told him who they were up against. Joker. He stayed on the edge of the scene, out of sight as he took in everyone who was around. There was a familiar streak of red drawing lines through the swamp, the redhead Tamaranean who had shown up earlier at Wayne Enterprises, a raven-haired woman he had on record as the one that took Zatanna's place, as well as one other man he didn't recognize. He would have to figure out who he was and put him in the system for future reference. Flash, Starfire, Zatanna(whose name he knew to be Ravencroft), and the stranger.
His shoulder was still dully aching, but the painkillers had taken away the pain of it, so he could focus. It hadn't been broken, thankfully. He was still able to fight with that arm, he just had to be a little more careful so he didn't actually end up breaking it.
As he watched, he noticed the gas being spread by Flash's speed. The wind he was creating was spreading the gas around faster. He knew he had to do something before it got any worse.
It had only been a couple minutes since he showed up on the scene before he acted on what he saw. Flash was, for the moment, not running, so Batman went straight to him, dodging any punches that were thrown his way as he ran. He ran up to the Flash and reached for his arm to keep him from running(not holding tight enough to prevent him from yanking his arm free)."Flash, look around you for a second. Your running is spreading the gas,"he said. Of course, he realized that asking the Flash not to run was like asking anyone not to breathe, but he had to make sure the Flash realized what he was doing.

Deathstroke aka Slade Wilson
As the explosions went off and the gas began to spread Slade swapped his helmets view to electronic vision, allowing him to see through the smoke as if it was never there at all. This also allowed him to see the magicians counter attack of his energy blast. He smiled as he spun his staff around and with a powerful and a negative charge to his staff smashed it like a baseball towards the giant crocodile. The energy blast at this point able to send it flying if not straight up blowing it in half.
Not slowing his assault he free his hand and through a concussive grenade towards the woman. However before letting it get near her to repel it he quickly drew his pistol and fired on it causing it to explode mid-air with enough force to send her, the redneck, and several joker thugs flying.
His next assault was be towards the Tamaranian, as he shot 2 energy bolts from his staff at her with enough power to cause significant damage to the woman including what was already being done to her from the juggernaut.
Though thats when he saw him in the corner of his eye. "Finally" He muttered as he drew an smg next and fired several burst rounds at both Batman and the Flash. Knowing the Flash would easily dodge the rounds. He was curious if this new Batman would be able to as well.
OOC:I thought I would also add that this whole post was done using Slade's advanced reflexes and speed and was done in around 10-15 seconds minus the attack on Batman and the Flash which could be assumed to have happened right after the first bit.
Darius began realizing the area began getting a little foggier., as it had just been cleared using the speed force he created a mouth cover/filter, and soon was grabbed by the wrist by the one man he feared in the world. He looked to him as the beautiful dark haired woman from before approached, stating his offer would have to be much better if he wanted to take her out, and the Bat was saying something about him spreading the gas. Darius ws between fear and ecstasy right now and had no clue, what the hell was going on. He moved Batman a Vera a few feet away as suddenly bullets and a grenade came flying towards where they had been. Flash looked around and only shook his head as he started sucking up the gas by creating a vacuum by spinning his arm incredibly fast in a backwards motion and then spewing it out as normal oxygen due to the fan effect. Darius would then look to the assassin on the roof, as all the gas cleared and he was now standing next to the man."You know, being ugly isn't a crime if that's your shtick?"Darius said wittily as he quickly attempted to sweep and trip the man off of the roof with his increased speed then would run back down to Vera and the Bat."Falling assassin coming your way Bats, as for you miss, I can guarantee you, you'll never have as much fun with someone who isn't the fastest man in the world....but that doesn't go for all things."Darius would say slipping a slight innuendo in there.
Darius would then notice that a redneck was on the field and had just asked him if he were a mexican mouse. He chuckled."Heh, I am Puerto Rican my friend, the mouse is a Mexican, but close."Darius would reply. It seemed the man wouldn't have cared anyway as someone attempted to blow up his truck. Darius noticed something else and it seemed to be a flying reptile. It then hit him that Slade had done a lot more than he had thought. He spun quickly under Toothless the alligator creating a tornado to slow his descent and bring him down gently to the ground. Darius began surveying the area a majority of the thugs were still here, but it seemed as though they were in fear of the gas for the most part, and were backing down, but now that he had cleared it he was sure more would come out, and on the floor where an energy bolt had been shot at her was Starfire with a huge man on top of her. Darius didn't have a thing for Starfire but she was like a sister to him on his Earth, so he sure as hell wouldn't let anything happen to her legacy.
He ran with a quickness and attempted a roundhouse kick to Vlad Vane's jaw, if it landed it would just be enough to take him off of Starfire. There was a lot going on here, and one hero down could totally change the battle field, he hadn't been able to intercept the energy shot so he didn't know her condition at the moment. Now would be the perfect time to regroup, he thought to himself.
