His original plan hadn't been like this. He'd only wanted to squeeze some pocket money out of Damian.
But after noticing the bloodline issue Damian was currently facing, Su Ming changed his plan. Batwoman couldn't prove she was Damian's father, and the old Deathstroke didn't want to be Damian's father. That was fine.
Someone was definitely going to be this dad!
What Heaven bestows and one refuses to take brings blame; when the time comes and one fails to act, disaster follows.
An unexpected opportunity had suddenly appeared before him. If he didn't make good use of it, he would surely suffer for it later.
Batwoman had few weaknesses. Even kidnapping the people around her wouldn't offer much leverage.
But if the "hostage" voluntarily went with the kidnapper, things would be different. First, Batwoman would have nothing to say about it. Second, Su Ming could use Damian to get things done at critical moments.
Getting Damian to turn around and go after Batwoman was indeed unlikely, but Su Ming could trick him into taking on some suicidal missions. If Batwoman didn't want Damian going up against The Spectre or Trigon, she would have to think things through carefully before deciding to turn against Su Ming.
Hopefully, that day would never come. Su Ming preferred negotiating solutions, but one could never be too cautious around a Bat. Influencing and controlling Damian and the Teen Titans might prove useful someday.
However, the appearance of traces left by The Batman Who Laughs disrupted the plan. Su Ming had to consider Earth's survival and slow down his little schemes for now.
Watching Damian's face flush red from the alcohol, watching him keep up his aloof expression even with liquor still in his mouth—
Su Ming smiled and slightly shook his head, sighing inwardly.
