Chapter 2: Deathstroke's Gauntlet

(Opening A/N: Okay this is starting to piss me off like a bull being waved with a cape. Every time I save my story, and I have it saved...and I go back to open it, it always has to be empty with a giant space! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Urgh! Also thanks to .94 for faving and following this story along with Daxen123 for following this. Anyway, let's get this puppy rolling!)

The helicopter which contained the members of the suicide Squad landed in New York. And here came the fun part...Deathstroke appeared on the giant screen and Mako was dangling from a chain over a giant vat of acid.

"Greetings Suicide Squad, I'd like to welcome you to the first leg of the gauntlet. I have managed to grab one of your precious friends and the Joker has planned on making her into a evil lackey of his." Deathstroke said, and this began to piss off Ryuko.

"Why are you doing this?!" Ryuko yelled, she didn't want any harm done to Mako.

"PLEASE, HELP ME RYUKO!" Mako screamed, she didn't want to be evil.

"And we're going to be playing a game of hide and seek. You guys hide, while some of my men seek for you, and you have 60 seconds, starting now." Deathstroke said as he disappeared and the screen changed to a timer which counted down from 60.

Harley grabs Ryuko and takes her to a good hiding spot which might be good enough for the two girls to hide in.

"Right here Ryuko." Harley said, and she climbed in first and Ryuko sat on top of her lap.

"This is kinda romantic." Ryuko whispered, and she was about to make a move on the clown girl.

"Look if we're going to be in a relationship, I want to be the husband." Harley said, she then wraps her arms around Ryuko bringing her closer.

"Okay, but I also have a counter proposal, if you're going to date me...then you're going to have to date my friend Mako as well." Ryuko replied, and both girls sealed the deal with a ten second French kiss.

"You got yourself a deal sweet cheeks." Harley said, but out of nowhere...there were three armed thugs out looking for the members of the Suicide Squad, and to make matters worse, there were more scowering over the city looking for them.

"Keep your eyes open, they might be out there. And make sure you check every nook and cranny." The first guy said, and the other two cocked their guns.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are." The second guy said, as he had his gun raised.

Just like a bat out of hell, a boomerang flies out of thin air and takes out of the three men. While the third man had a fist followed up by a knee to the jaw knocking him unconscious.

"You should learn well enough alone not to harm any Shielas. But no, you just had to provoke them." An Austrailian accented voice said, as soon as both girls came out of the hiding spot revealing that it was Captain Boomerang who saved them.

"Who's this guy?" Ryuko asked, he then bowed to Ryuko showing a form of respect.

"The name's Captain Boomerang. And you must be Ryuko Matoi, it seems that the Joker has sure put a nice enough bounty on you." Captain Boomerang informed Ryuko.

Now it was time for the squad to rescue Mako. But when they got to where Mako was being held captive, she wasn't there and everything was green screened.

"Congratulations, you've passed the test. And you're now an honorary member of Task Force X AKA the Suicide Squad." Deathstroke said, and out of the shadows was Amanda Waller.

"This was just a test? But I thought you were working for the Joker." Ryuko said, then Waller shook her head no.

"Actually Deathstroke is an inside agent for me, Joker still thinks that Slade is working as a bad guy. But as you should know Slade is a mercenary that's working for us." Waller said, and Ryuko went up to Mako and gave her a direct French kiss as well.

"I don't know what that was for, but I kinda liked it." Mako said, but there were other bad guys out there that were going to cash in on the opportunity of picking off the anti-heroes. Next up in the list of villans, is the penguin. And there was a dark haired man with a suit appeared onto the screen.

"Hello? Is anyone home? It's me, Oswald Cobblepot. Or as some people know me, as the penguin." Penguin said, and he was on the screen to inform the Squad about the next leg of the gauntlet and where it's going to be held. "The next leg of the gauntlet will be held in Gotham city. And I'll be having some back up with me for our little encounter." The villain proclaimed, and now the anti-heroic squad have another villain to fight if not more.

"Looks like any or all chances for a romantic break is going to have to wait." Ryuko said, and Harley placed her arms around our heroine's neck.

"Not to worry, both Mako and I will be here for you." Harley said and Mako came over and wrapped her arms around one of Ryuko's arms as well.

"And don't forget about me Ryuko." Mako said, and Ryuko started to blush since she's being shared by two other girls.

(A/N: Okay, before I forget...the Penguin is going to be based on the Gotham TV show. And he's *not* going to be the only villain in this story. Anyway, leave a review and faves along with follows are always optional and welcome. Next stop...Gotham City! So, until the next chapter...this is the master of chaos, the commander of the leigon of corpses, BloodyDemon666 signing off!)
