Two hours later, the van rolled down the highway. No one had said anything, as Alex and Melody had just sat down and nodded.
Deadshot looked at the girls, "What are you to here for?"
Alex shrugged, "You tell us, you came all this way."
"Yeah well we don't know shit," Deadshot said, "They don't tell us anything."
Alex nodded, "So you guys are the infamous 'suicide squad'?"
Flag sat up, "How did you-"
"Come on, a metahuman goes missing, you can hear whispers," Alex said, "I know one of you died, but that still leaves one missing."
"That'd be clown queen," Boomerang added, "Her man broke her out."
Melody tilted her head and smiled, "So that's it then."
"What?" Deadpool smirked.
"This is about Harley?" Alex asked.
"It's true?" Flag asked.
"Yes," Melody said.
"To which of them?" Boomerang asked.
"To both of them," Melody smirked, "Although I'm assuming Mister Military here didn't tell you why I'm a target for, what I assume is potential blackmail."
"Woah who's getting blackmailed?" Deadshot asked.
"Her parents," Alex smiled, "She just found out, Military Man, there's not much she can tell you."
"You've talked to them?" Flag asked.
"What, you assume you guys were the only ones capable of finding me?" Melody smirked.
"Well the higher ups were hoping," Flag retorted.
"Flag, what the hell is going on?" Deadshot asked.
Flag let out a resigned sigh, "Team, meet Target M, Melody Adler AKA Melody Quinn."
Melody shook her head, "I might be her kid, I don't have her last name."
Boomerang sat up straighter. "Harley had a kid?"
"Well apparently," Alex retorted, "Everyone thought-"
"I was dead," Melody continued, "But they were wrong, so-"
"Here we are," Alex finished.
"Okay that," Deadpool pointed, "Was hella creepy."
"Sorry," Alex and Melody said at the same time.
"Comes with-" Alex started, then abruptly cut herself off, looking directly at Melody, "Alright, that's enough. We refuse to talk now."
"You can't just do that," Flag refuted.
"Oh, I don't think you have a say in the matter," Alex smiled.
"Alex, don't," Melody said.
"But Mel!" Alex complained.
Melody gave Alex a stern look, "We have ten minutes until they take us to the boss, can you wait until then?"
Alex nodded, "Well then, how long are these ten minutes gonna be?"
Fifteen minutes later, Waller found herself sitting across from Melody in a blank processing room.
"So you know why you're here," Waller stated.
"Correct," Melody responded.
"Have the Joker and Harley Quinn contacted you?"
"Yes."
"Are all parties involved aware of the biological relationship?"
"Yes."
"What information did you glean from the contact between yourself and your parents?" Waller asked, looking for a reaction.
Melody didn't satisfy her, "That they were my parents, that is all that was made known."
"Do you know where your parents are now?"
"No."
"Do your parents know where you are right now?"
"No."
"Do you have an interest in working to bring your parents to justice?"
"No," Melody said, "I stay out of it, that's the rule."
"You don't have a choice," Waller responded.
"Don't I?" Melody asked, "If you had something on me, than you would have used it against me by now."
"We have Alex in custody," Waller stated.
"A bluff," Melody smiled.
"Is it?" Waller asked.
"I know a liar when I see one, I won't make that mistake again," Melody shook her head, "You can't keep me here."
"Why not?" Waller half stated, half asked.
"You believe the rumors," Melody said.
"Nope," Waller answered.
Melody shook her head, "It wasn't a question, because if you didn't you would've had Mister Military interview me."
"He does have a name?" Waller smirked.
"Does it matter?" Melody asked retorically.
Waller chuckled, "Does anything?
Melody's face hardened suddenly, "Can I leave now?"
"Can I stop you?" Waller asked.
Melody paused, "I'm not my parents, but I really don't know anything. I stay out of it."
"Is it true that there is a secret league of metahumans?" Waller asked.
Melody stood up, "We're done here."
Waller stood and pulled her gun from her holster, "Leave and I shoot you, no cameras no repercussions."
"Huh," Melody said, turning to look back at Waller. Waller's gun flew out of her hand, and Melody laughed, "No repercussions!" Melody walked out of the room, down the stairs, and straight out of the building, where Alex was waiting.
"We're still being watched?" Alex asked.
"Yep," Melody answered, "You called Matt?"
"I did one better," Alex smiled. A car pulled into the building parking lot, and out stepped-
"Lea?" Melody asked.
"Melody," Lea sighed, pulling her not-sister into a hug, "Come on, we need to go."
"What's going on?" Melody asked.
"Waller's not the only one looking for you," Lea explained, entering the car, "we need to get you home."
"Shouldn't we get to a safe house?" Alex asked seriously.
"We can't," Melody sighed, "We can't take that risk during the school year. To everyone outside of this, I'm still Melody Adler, living a normal life as a student."
"Melody, your safety is more important," Alex pressed.
"Not to me!" Melody snapped, then looking forward in the passenger seat, "Just drive, Lee."
Lea nodded, "Alright. Let's go home."
