Sarge Steel sends the Bronze Tiger to sanction Deathstroke. He is not confidant that Steel has what it takes to finish Slade off for good, so he also sends Deadshot to shadow the Tiger to make sure the job gets done right. Deathstroke encounters Bronze Tiger at the Smithsonian and the two engage in a protracted battle. Deadshot gets involved, but by this point, Deathstroke doesn't have enough strength left to take them both on. As Deathstroke attempts to escape, Deadshot fires several seemingly fatal shots into Deathstroke's chest.
