Did Deathstroke have a map of Eternia? He hadn't before, but he did now.
While investigating the town ruins just moments ago, he had secretly had Strangle take the opportunity to eat the dead bird they had obtained earlier.
That bird had been one of the "clues" Constantine brought back when he withdrew from here last time. Later, Bobo had fiddled with it during a Justice League Dark meeting, only for Deathstroke to kidnap him and confiscate the dead bird.
There was no use leaving something like that in a gorilla's hands. It had never been meant for him.
After all, only by having Strangle eat the bird's head and read its memories could Zha Kang achieve his goal.
That bastard Zha Kang had deliberately shown the dead bird to Bobo so that he would pass it on to Deathstroke. It had been intentional, another one of his schemes to screw people over.

Su Ming did not care, though. No matter what, Eternia was a world where
