Adeline Kane led Team 7, an elite squad within the Green Berets. Slade Wilson became a member of the squad and was trained by Kane. They fell in love with each other. After a failed drug trial, Wilson woke up in a hospital room. He told Kane they said it was miracle he was still alive. Kane reminded him she told him not to volunteer for the drug trial. Wilson stated it was his choice and he could have said no. She asked him why he didn't. He said they needed him. She noted he was always the good soldier and was maybe too good. Wilson told her he was being discharged and sent home in a few days. She told him she was going with him. Wilson asked about her duties. She felt she served her country and did a damn good job but he needed her. Wilson refused to accept her help. He stated she had 14 months left and she was doing what she signed on to do. He sat up and grimaced then asked her to let him try to build a life for himself then if she still wanted him, then they would settle down. Kane told him she loved him and they had plans and a whole life ahead of them. Wilson believed the Army was the only life he ever knew: being a good soldier, following orders, and killing the enemy. Kane told him there was more to him than that. Wilson hoped so.
The serum had a delayed effect but augmented Wilson. He kept it a secret from Kane and pretended to be a traveling businessman while operating as a mercenary for hire, Deathstroke. While in Cambodia, Slade Wilson had affair with a local woman while he was engaged to Adeline Kane. When Kane found out, she naturally became angry. After she threw a lamp into a wall, she asked Wilson how he could have done that to her. She trusted him. Kane started crying. While there would always be a scar in their relationship, they mended fences and had a son named Joseph.
Slade Wilson called from San Miguel and told Adeline Wilson if factories were built in San Miguel, the business would go through the roof. She replied she would rather have him than the money and thought he was away too much. She admitted when he was away, she would think about his affair years ago and how the scars never went away. He promised he never lied to her since and will never again. He asked her if she believed him. She replied she did. Joseph Wilson interrupted and asked if he could talk to his father. Wilson asked him if he brushed his teeth yet. He confirmed then asked him to read to him over the phone. Wilson tried to tell him he was late for a dinner meeting but he asked for just a little. Wilson knew what "A little, little" meant. Wilson opened his green suitcase and got out his copy of "Knights & Dragons" then started reading. Wilson stopped at "Into legend, into lore" and convinced his son to turn in. Adeline Wilson told him they both missed him. Wilson promised he would be on the last plane that night and told her he loved her. She replied she adored him.
Joseph Wilson crawled under his blanket, stood up, and mimicked shooting a gun. He asked his mother to read to him. She pointed out his father already read to him. He pleaded. She wasn't falling for his wide eyed, innocent routine. He hugged her and pleaded again. She conceded and reached for "Knights & Dragons" but he contended that was just for his father. She called him "the commanding officer" of this family. Adeline Wilson tucked Joseph in and stepped outside the bedroom. The Jackal grabbed her by the neck. He promised she would be dead already if he wanted. She asked what he wanted. Jackal replied he wanted her son. Wilson kneed and headbutted him then kicked him through the railing. He fell down to the lower floor. She warned him if he was looking for a helpless victim, he came to the wrong house. She leaped down but he dodged her stomp. They fought. Wilson tossed him over her shoulder and charged. He counter punched and kneed her. Jackal's hand lit up and he electrocuted her. She fell on her face.
Jackal laughed and told her she was out of practice then rolled her onto her back. He mused hearing she was once something to behold before marriage and motherhood made her soft. He broke one of her arms. Jackal listed off her credentials, leader of the Team 7, an elite squad within the Green Berets, and she trained Slade Wilson and made him into the killing machine he is today. She didn't know what he was talking about and stated he was a businessman. Jackal was amused and told her there was so much she didn't know. She demanded to know who he was. He only replied he was the Jackal then stomped her unconscious. Wilson was dropped off at his home. He walked in and things in disarray. He ran up to Joseph's bedroom and found Adeline. She stated "he" said if she called the police, their son was dead. Wilson asked who did it. She continued and said "he" wanted him. Wilson took the note she had. She stated he called himself the Jackal. Wilson feigned ignorance. She slapped him and asked him if it was nothing but lies.
Wilson still acted like he had no idea what was going on. She stated Jackal told her Wilson was a mercenary named Deathstroke. Wilson promised he would bring their son back along with Jackal's carcass. She stated they didn't need him. She could not stand and was angry it was broken. Wilson added it was broken in several places. He held out his hand. She told him to leave. Wilson was but paused and promised they would talk after. She wanted him not to even try to lie to her again then ordered him to just bring Joseph home and God help him if he failed. Wilson stated he never failed. Joseph Wilson survived but he was could never talk again. At the hospital, Adeline Wilson's glare said enough. Slade Wilson left them. He wrote one letter to Joseph explaining he agreed with his mother that it was for the best that he stay away for awhile. He claimed he was a knight like him his book and slayed dragons so they would never hurt him or his mother. Adeline Wilson trained to get herself back into peak condition. For his own safety, Adeline Wilson chose a private academy in Switzerland for Joseph's schooling.
10 years after Joseph's kidnapping, he was taken by H.I.V.E. again. Slade and Adeline Wilson agreed to meet at a park. Wilson returned a lost ball to two children then sat, back to back. After a silence, she stated she chose that school in Switzerland for the security. Wilson answered she chose poorly and asked if she knew. She didn't know Joseph inherited whatever the serum did to Wilson. He revealed the Queen told him Joseph's powers were psychic. She visibly reacted and admitted there were times she felt like he was in the room with her. Wilson stated he should have been with her. She reiterated she sent him away to keep him safe. Wilson claimed he would have kept him safe. She asked him if he meant like last time. He felt she punished him enough already and locked him out of Joseph's life. He walked away. She followed and told him he never once questioned it and never once tried to see him. All he did was write one pathetic letter. Wilson turned to her. She wondered why all she asked him was "Why?" Wilson stated the past was dead and nothing could change that. She disagreed and stated it was happening all over again. She asked what they were going to do about it. Wilson didn't understand "we." She stated she was going with him. Wilson asked her if she remembered what the Jackal did to her. She revealed Jackal may have broke and humiliated her but it was her own fault because she put her energy into being a mother and lost her center. He dodged and stopped her arm then recalled she hadn't been on a combat mission in years. She threw him. He told her to stay out of it. She tip toed and kissed him to his surprise.
