Vincent lacked nothing in confidence. Anyone who knew him for a minimum of five seconds might even call him cocky, but as far as he was concerned, the things he was good at, he was good at and he felt that there wasn’t any point in pretending to be humble about it. That said, he was self-aware enough to understand he had weaknesses and he even had a good idea of what they were.

Acting was one of them. Back when he still went to school, any time he had to take part in a play put on by his class, he would try to read his lines, but the words would come out stilted, halting, or he would straight up forget them halfway through speaking them. However, thanks to some guidance from Black Canary, he had managed to find a way to work around this weakness.

“The greatest actors use their past experiences to shape their roles,” Black Canary had said. “Think back on your life, before you joined the team. The kind of person you used to be and might’ve become if things had gone differently. Try using that to shape who you’ll be for this mission.”

And so, he did.


Dressed in a crimson dress shirt, black slacks with matching dress shoes, and a black coat over his shoulders to complete the outfit, Vincent might have looked out of place amongst the other “bodyguards,” but that was on purpose. While the others looked dressed and equipped for war, his outfit’s intent was to send two messages: that he was just as dangerous without all those fancy gadgets and those who underestimated him did so at their own risk.

He ran his hand through his dirty blonde wig hair before fixing his hazel eyes (courtesy of colored contacts) on Origami. He regarded her for a few moments, then clicked his tongue contemptuously before walking away from the group. He leaned against a nearby wall and crossed his arms. His sleeves were pushed halfway up his forearms, displaying some of his battle scars on his left arm. His right looked to be a metal prosthetic, though that was only how it appeared. In addition to hiding his tattoos, which might aid in identifying him, it also let him bring in a supply of steel, should he need it. “Let’s get this over with, already. Sooner we’re done with this shit, the better,” he growled.

He had taken Black Canary’s words to heart. He thought about the kind of person he might have become if it weren’t for the Old Man and everyone else who had helped him through the hardest parts of his life. “Damocles” was his answer: the version of him that lived to fight, the version that gave into his anger when no one was around to help him overcome it.

Vincent sat in the briefing room, a visible look of disdain on his face as he listened to Batman and Black Canary. Seriously? Another mission where we’ve gotta sneak around? Hopefully I get a chance to let loose, again. he thought as he slumped back in his seat. However, when he heard that he’d be masquerading as a bodyguard, he perked up a bit. He would definitely make a better bodyguard than rich kid. Sure, he had no acting experience whatsoever, but he was confident he’d be able to at least pull off an intimidating bodyguard better than a spoiled brat. “At least as a bodyguard, I’ll have a chance to knock some heads together if it comes to it,” he spoke up. He leaned back in his seat and added, “But, I wanna make one thing clear: I’m not bottom-rung anything.”

After that, he let the others speak up, chuckling at Pei’s antics. The others were definitely posing good questions, ones that he never would have thought of in a million years. When Will asked about who was guarding who, Vincent’s mind immediately went back to the last mission and his failure. He let Daphne get captured. Sure, it was to save Cora, but it was still his fault, at least in his mind, that Daphne ended up as Deathstroke’s hostage. How he was able to get his hands on KJ. Before he realized it, he raised his hand and said, “Unless you guys are gonna pair us up, I wanna be the one to watch Daphne’s back. I wanna make up for what happened last time.”

He glanced over at Viktor and Daphne as he spoke. Given what had happened on the last mission and the fact that the two of them are together, he would understand if either one had an issue and if it looked like they did, he would retract his offer. Still, he felt like he wouldn’t be able to move past his failure if he didn’t at least try.

If there's more we need to go over before we get to posting it, we can get the collab started and post it when the time is right.


Sounds good. I was just thinking it would be something Zac might wanna mention in private. Come to think of it, though, he'll probably take the opportunity to warn everyone about people in black coats, given
