What's this? Another chapter? Of course! I was having these two ideas before my mind went blank from Writer's Block. So I want you guys to enjoy this while you can.
Chapter 2: Liliana Adderson
The chase was on!
Task Force X was on the move with Harley on the wheels and the guy, Steel Maxum seemed to be knocked out cold. Well, better than him dead since Waller needs something out of him. The blonde woman was covering her mouth, stopping herself from whimpering. Well, she's in an RV full of deadly criminals that could kill her at this moment and the fact that they're escaping from a speedster called Zoom.
From what he could hear, Copperhead realised that Zoom is slower than usual. He would have entered the RV and grab a card before the snake man could even blink. Right now, he gently rubbed the woman's shoulders to sooth her from the whole adrenaline. Boomerang barks out a laugh.
"Well I'll be," he chuckled and gave the woman a wink to which she looked down with her hands in her lap. "I never knew you'd be the type to kidnap girls, Snake Eyes. I can see why 'cause she is just pretty."
He didn't know what to make of that comment.
Once the RV was away from Zoom and his team, questions were quickly fired at the poor woman.
"Who is this?"
"Where did she come from?"
"Waller's surely going to blow our heads now!"
"I thought I said stay out of trouble!"
"I-I'm sorry!" the woman raised both hands up. "I-I did not expect to be in a middle of a chaos."
"Well, you are now, honey!" Harley giggled from the wheel. "And you picked a cutie, Snakey! Why did you grabbed her when we're supposed to grab him?"
Liliana now regained her senses to now scan the people staring at her in the RV. She knew going out with her friends tonight was a bad choice. She could've been at home with her ball python watching a cooking show and eat reheated spaghetti! Time wasted and now caught in the crossfire with a gang of super criminals from a group she has read about in the news.
The Suicide Squad run by Amanda Waller.
"He saved me," the woman pointed at Copperhead. "I was looking for my friends when I realised something was off when the dancer was afraid. Looks like they ditched me…"
Suddenly, Liliana heard a sharp voice demanding what's going on. It was a woman's voice from the sound of it. Liliana was sure that she's putting herself and this gang of super criminals in danger just by the sound of it. Liliana might get killed but taking a deep breath, she approached the sound which Deadshot seems to be talking back.
"She wants to speak to you," Deadshot gave her the earpiece. "You have exactly 20 minutes."
Pressing the earpiece close to her ear, she tried not to sound shaky. She knew exactly who wanted to talk to her because she has read and watched her in the news. "H-hello?"
"Why the hell are you here?!" the voice demanded. "You do know you're gonna waste our time and we are not going to let anything get into the mission. Bronze Tiger's right when he said don't wander away. Apparently, Copperhead did by bringing you."
"I'm sorry," Liliana apologised. "I never meant to distract anyone. All I want is to go home. Nothing more. From this experience, there is a chance I am not going to a club with my friends again after this, ma'am. Really, they can drop me anywhere and I can be on my way. This route is almost close to the city I lived in."
"Fine," Waller sighed on the other side. "The minute you get to the next city, you get off and never come back."
"Yes ma'am."
Liliana then passed back the earpiece to the gunsman. She sat close to the door, her hands on her lap. She is nervous but prayed that they don't kill her before they drop her off. "So, what did Waller want from you?" Deadshot asked.
"Just wants me to stay out of this once we head down to the nearest city. That's where I live."
"Aww, we don't even know your name yet!" Harley pouted but turned her head back to look at her. "Call me Harley, sweetie. Everyone does!"
'She seems friendly,' Liliana thought. She could make some small talk to ease her anxiety in the RV. "I'm Liliana," she introduced herself to the members in the RV. She gave them a shy smile, still a bit uncomfortable. "Liliana Adderson. I-I kinda know you through the news."
"Yeah?" Boomerang arched a brow before taking a swig from the bottle. "Tell us who we are, sweetheart and let's see if you pass with flying colours."
"I know you're Deadshot, Killer Frost, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Bronze Tiger and Copperhead?" she nodded at the Task Force X members but she averted her eyes away from the snake man. It's not that she finds him hideous but he had that demeanour that makes her shy around him. If she was put in the same room with him, she'd probably be a mess.
"Bang on!" Captain Boomerang laughed. He leaned awfully close to her, his breath almost made Liliana gag. "How about you give ol' Digger a kiss, eh?"
Before Liliana could protest, Copperhead's biotech tail wrapped around Boomerang's neck and tossed him onto the seat at the back. He glared at the frisky Aussie with his serpent eyes. "Leave her alone," Copperhead warned him and Boomerang shrugged. Liliana then stared at the blonde stripper that was still out cold.
"So," she twirled a strand of her hair nervously. "Waller wants something from him?"
"A card apparently," Deadshot sighed. Liliana stared at him in disbelief. "Yeah, I'm not convince that Magic Mike knows anything."
Liliana also found herself to be stared down by Killer Frost. The cryomancer keeps giving her disdain looks and Liliana can't blamed her. She is jeopardising the mission anyways. Once she gets back, more work on her drafts, telling off her friends and submitting deadlines to her boss. Oh, the joys of working…..
"Look, I won't tell anyone about what you're doing," Liliana assured them, still intimidated by Killer Frost's steely gaze. "They would probably think I am drunk."
The silence almost made Liliana want to bury her head in the sand.
"Fine," Deadshot sighed. He nudged the stripper with a finger. "He's not going to wake up any time soon so we might need to refuel the ride."
"Yay! That means more food supplies!" cheered Harley, who almost swerved the car over a bridge. Liliana held onto the nearest person and she almost fainted when it was Copperhead. Thankfully, Liliana did not see the flustered expression on the snake man's face. She noticed that Bronze Tiger was the only one who did not talk. She decided not to force him and waited until they arrive at the city.
It was going to be a long ride.
Aww, poor flustered Liliana gets caught in the chaos. So I made this story rated M not only to keep it similar to the movie but you're gonna get some sexy time with our man, Copperhead. They could not pick a better voice actor than Gideon Emery for his character! So please enjoy it.
Don't forget to review! Your reviews motivate me to write this.
