He hated it. He hated the fact that he had to leave her. But what choice did he have? Let her tag along with him? He was a felon; a dead one at that. What kind of life could they lead?

There wasn't much to leave behind after her though. Dad died in a fire. And he hasn't seen his mother since he was ten. Where to go now? Keystone City? Coast City? Bludhaven? Those seem like pretty good choices. Not to mention he could restart his life.

But first, he needed gas. As he began to fill up the tank, he felt something strange. Something ominous. Then again, he's on the run. It's probably just paranoia. He then heard something like a soft scuffling. Just as he finished filling up the car, he got in and continued to drive off. As he began to drive off, he then heard a small click of some kind. Suddenly, everything was in flames.

He woke up in the most strangest place. A padded cell. "Uhh. Where ... am I?" Roy asked. He looked around. It looked like a prison cell. "Whaddya think this is, kid? Candyland?" said a inmate from across. He had very neat blond hair and resplendent blue eyes. Before he could say or do anything, his cell suddenly unlocked. Every surrounding cell was unlocked. Now came out a beautiful dark-haired woman with a slim figure. Before he could make out everyone else, he immeaditely recognized one.

"Sandy?"
"Harper?"
He suddenly hugged the man. He'd never think he'd ever see Sanderson "Golden Boy" Hawkins ever again. "What are you doing? Last I heard from you, you were going to be the first cop from the Glades?!" Roy said. "I was. But I messed with the wrong people. And next thing I knew, I found my way here. What are you doing here?" Sandy asked. "I honestly don't know. It's good to see you" he said haltingly. He suddenly recognized one of the people that came out of the cells.

"Hello. Cutie" she said. Cupid. Roy then looked around. No, no, he couldn't be. "What'd I tell ya kid? Hell" the blonde said. "It can be. If you choose to make it so." said a rather cold voice. "Hello, Roy Harper. I'm Amanda Waller. But then again, if sources are correct, then you already know who I am" she said. Everything she said was said rather smoothly and carefully.

"Why the hell am I here?" he asked. "Because, the world believes you to be the Arrow and believes you to be dead. I worked with the Arrow before he became the Arrow. I saw a ... potential in him. Which I also see in you. You did some good working alongside him. You can do some greater good by serving your country" Amanda said, now a cruel smile was placed on her smooth face.

"What makes you think that I would work with you? Why not just set off the time bomb down my spine and blow me straight to Cancun?" Roy said. Some of the people surrounding him than began to look panicked. "Because. You have potential. And I have full intention on unlocking it" she said. "You'll be given some time to get to know one another. Then you'll return to your cells" she said and then left.

Suddenly, Sandy seemed to leer at him. "You knew about this team?" he asked. "It's not like I've had hands-on experience with these things. I heard about what she does to the people on this team" he said. "She said that you worked with the Arrow or something? That true?" said a man with an astonishingly posh British accent. "And if I did?" Roy said. "I worked with him too. For a bit" the slim woman said. "Helena. Helena Bertinelli" she said, holding out her hand, introducing herself. "Roy. Roy Haper" he said.

"So, I'm guessing that we all have done something wrong in some point in our lives?" Sandy said. "What the hell is this? One of those anonymous groups where we enter some crappy program to fix ourselves?" another girl said. Except that her skin was darker and had more curves. "Should we introduce ourselves? I guess I'll go first. My name is Winnick Norton. I am the Dodger. I finally robbed and wronged some very angry people. And I don't think she should be introduced. She's quite ... deranged. Interesting but deranged nevertheless" he said, then pointing at Cupid.

"Sanderson Hawkins. Pissed off some corrupt cops and was ... brought back from the dead" Sandy said. "Helena Bertinelli. Escaped from jail only to get put back into one" she said. "Kirk DiPaolo. Hacked into the FBI mainframe. It was mostly for kicks and giggles" said the blond. "Joe Flynn. Brought the heavy artillery to some people who really needed it." said a rather scrawny wiry kid. He looked as if he were fifteen at least. "Onyx Adams. My friends called me Nix. Let's leave my past where it is: in the past." said the dark-skinned girl.

"Lars Windrow. Hurt too many people to count"
"Yazemin Soze. Defied my commanding officer's orders. Got good people killed"
"Carla Moretti. Let's just say that I've burned quite a great deal of people"

"Roy Harper. I've done things that I'm not proud of. I found myself working with The Arrow. Then I did something I wasn't proud of. It kept tearing at me that I posed as the Arrow and took the fall for him. And someone clearly wanted me on her special team" Roy said. "You actually worked with the Arrow? I knew you'd do something great with your life one day. Other than beating people down" Sandy joked.

"I guess you are all familiar with each other then?" said a bearded young man. Right beside him was a petite young Asian woman. "I am Sean Sonus and this is Sonia Sato. We will be your handlers" he said. He then pointed at Roy and urged him to come with him. "Amanda says that she sees potential in you. Looking at you, I don't understand what she sees" Sonia said. "Numerous arrests for thievery, assault, grand larceny. The list seems to go on. Why is she interested with you?" she mocked. "Because I was the Arrow's favorite groupie" Roy mocked back. "Worked with the Arrow, huh? Interesting" Sean said with interest.

"She wanted me to give you these" Sean said, removing the small sack in front of him. It was a sleek grey outfit that had some red and black at the side and was equipped with a hood. Alongside it was a grey compound bow with a quiver filled with red arrows, along with a gas-mask and goggles, and something strange. It was a strange claw-like weapon. "That belonged to a previous member of Task Force X. Bronze Tiger." Sonia said. "The file states that during your affiliation with the Arrow, you were "Arsenal". I figured you might want to expand your own arsenal beyond the bow and arrow" Sean said. Roy picked up the "claws" and immediately slid them into his hands. It felt ... natural.

"You will be fighting the good fight" Sean said. Roy then left.

A day later, he got up; awoken by an alarm. Amanda Waller came and released him and his "teammates". "Congratulations. You have your first mission. Let's hope nothing goes wrong" She said. "Welcome to the Suicide Squad" he whispered.
