In a secret government facility, two figures awoke.
"Where am I?" asked an overweight bald man. A crazed looking man was giggling in the cell beside him
"Lewis Snart and James Jesse," a military figure said, "My name is General Wade Eiling and you've both been brought to a classified location for a special mission from the United States government."
"What could the government possibly want with us?" Lewis asked, "And why'd you choose me instead of my son?"
"You both have special skills that are needed for this mission," Eiling said, "My friend Ms. Waller was thoroughly impressed with your cranial explosives, Mr. Snart. Your son wasn't necessary. You've both been tasked to investigate Dr. Harrison Wells. As you know, his Particle Accelerator explosion recently crippled Central City. We need to find out what he knows. And if you see any gorillas, bring them to me alive."
"You sure you don't want us to shoot 'em?" Jesse asked.
"I'll be giving the kill orders, Mr. Jesse," Eiling said.
"Sure, take all the fun outtah life." Jesse grumbled.
"Question, General," Snart said, "How can you be sure we will comply with your little plan?"
"I've thought of that, and the moment you disobey, you die!" Eiling said.
"Ooo, sounds fun!" Jesse giggled. "Hope you're not pulling any tricks, Wadey. No one out-tricks the Trickster!"
"So I've heard," Eiling said, "and if you successfully complete your mission without arousing suspicion from Wells, his staff or the police, you will be paid handsomely. Do we have deal?"
"Deal," Snart said.
"I'm in!" Trickster said, "This'll be loads of laughs!"
