Calmly Amanda Waller looked over the surveillance footage of her most recent interest. This metahuman was likely not of human origin, similar in many ways to Superman, however she was only able to ascertain that fact from her researchers files on the ancient temple they found through the use of Doctor June Moone's notes - whose leaps in logic made Harley Quinn look rationale. June Moone appeared to be like any other person, if Amanda Waller was not Amanda Waller - and indeed several researchers had mentioned it - she would be surprised by the idea of an ancient being pretending to have a broken leg, but she is not she has seen worse. Overall the security footage did very little to create any doubt about her human status.

Except for the language thing. It was stated very clearly in Doctor Moone's file that she could read and write ancient Nahuatl, and other forms of Aztec speech, and well as Latin. She did not speak spanish. Or portuguese. However those were the two languages Doctor Moone's body spoke to the staff at the hospital and the fast food place she went to whenever she could beg one of the cleaning lady's for money (the nurses had begun to refuse to give money to her, claiming fast food was bad for her health while they ate the exact same stuff on their breaks).

(All the Quesadillas and Tortillas the thing in Doctor Moone's body kept eating at a steady rate did not make Amanda Waller crave something that was not toxicologist and dietician approved.)

But overall there was no evidence of any true supernatural abilities, the creature's main focus appeared to be getting out of the hospital, out of Mexico and back to England.

This, of course, would not do.

At all.

But how to approach something that is showing no signs of hostility? Which was why she had her researchers working around the clock for some form of leverage over the creature. Some weakness or bargaining chip.

The insurance company could only delay their response for another six weeks before the media's attention was caught. If the creature was in or from the grand old USA, Waller would have been able to do so much more, but instead, the creature had some kind of Aztec origin and June Moone was a British native.

It had been two weeks since The Enchantress and Doctor June Moone died. And because they were in Mexico instead of home, they were unable to hold any kind of funeral or memorial. They had hoped to be in England by now, to be back in the city where June Moone had grown up, and while they could no longer to afford to live in Chelsea, on her birthday June Moone had often chosen to walk by her family's old house.

However perhaps that was a good thing, while June Moone had experience planning western funerals, the Enchantress had quite a bit of experience in ancient ritual-like funerals which would have been very hard to explain to witnesses. But what were the supposed to do? They couldn't just pretend to forget about it. That would be a betrayal of who they were before. Even if the Enchantress was a spirit of blood and death and glory, and in a way Doctor June Moone was as well - getting research grants is considered quite the blood sport in Cambridge - they still deserved to be respected.

A small funeral would do, it's not like June Moone had anyone to tell, an estranged father who was likely still in prison for armed robbery, a mother who was taken from the world too soon, and a beautiful step-mother who died before the marriage equality bill could be passed. By the time June had fought her way out of the system she was sixteen, not thirteen, and ready to go to university. By the time she finished her degree her to-be stepmother had gained a position as friend, but not mother, they years in foster care had stopped those feelings from truly developing.

But they digress, a small funeral pyre, with cuttings of Doctor June Moone's hair (from an old hairbrush, perhaps?), and a flower imbued with magic (the initial thought had been animal sacrifice, but flowers were much more symbolic), in an alley somewhere near their shared apartment in the town of Cambridge just outside of university (Doctor June Moone valued the Cambridge library just slightly below available grants). And then what?

That was a good question … what were they supposed to do?

Somehow they knew that they could not return to being an archeologist, in the same way they knew that they could not return to being a god-witch whose thrall reached across nations. It just wouldn't feel right. After all new identity, new job. Maybe they could go back to university? Study for a new career? The mass of languages they now knew was a lot more useful than once-June Moone could have anticipated, perhaps they could study to be a linguist?

But what on earth do linguists do?

It would be relaxing to go back to university, they could just figure everything out from there …

And then they were brought back to earth by a startling and depressing realization. Funds. How on earth were they going to deal with that? It's not like they could publicize their once-tomb to the world, it would just be too dangerous for them, and of course, June Moone had had not further plans then find the fabled tomb. She had spent her last thousand dollars on air fair and equipment.

Groaning they flopped back onto the grass glaring up at the sky. Maybe they should become an evil rule of the earth, at least then they wouldn't have to worry about money.

Far away Amanda Waller watched as what was once June Moone lay in the hospital's recreation yard, a light smirk on her face. This was it, the power they had been waiting for that would allow them to bring it in. What's more, the old recordings from the creature's activities this morning had arrived at the same time as a the creature's weak spot. Moving away she began to order her men to prepare. They had a monster to catch.

Moving away from the screen left Doctor Moone of several hours ago laying in the yard, which, before her entrance, had been bare dirt.

Notes:

Also, after I finish this I'm going to write another one (story) except it will not be humorous, there will be a lot of dysphoria, crying and mental health issues ... so stay tuned!
