Isabella's POV
I woke up with a start. Looking around I was sitting on a comfy chair on a balcony. There was a small coffee table with two glasses of wine resting on top of it. Looking over the balcony I gasped when I saw the breathtaking view. Off in the distance sat the Eiffel Tower in all its glory, with a gorgeous blue sky without a cloud in sight. Looking over the railing I saw the tiny bodies of people walking around going about with their business. I didn't even think about the second wine glass until I heard an achingly familiar voice somewhere behind me.
"Hey Izzy I made lunch so get off your lazy ass and come get it!"
Whipping my head around, the sight I saw unconsciously brought tears to my eyes. There stood my sister, her short wispy black hair and a huge bright grin on her face. Shaking my head a couple times, I stood up quickly and backed a couple steps away. There was no way she was here she was dead!
"Hey what's the matter Izzy are you okay? What's wrong?" she said, her smile fading as she walked towards me slowly.
"You can't be here, you're dead! I killed you you can't be here!" I panted, lacing my fingers through my hair, tears streaming down my face.
She smiled softly as she reached me, gently wiping the tears on my face. I stood there staring at her, wide eyed and shocked. She was touching me, I could feel her touching my skin and the tears being wiped off my face. If she's dead how can she touch me? Am I dead? Did I die fighting the witch and now I'm in the afterlife? Her voice brought me out of my reverie.
"It was all just a dream Izzy. You never killed me and I am still alive, here, with you in Paris where we always dreamed of going. We have a nice apartment with a balcony with a beautiful view. We spend our nights drinking wine and watching movies. We alternate between cooking and doing the dishes, and we sometimes go out at night so you can feed to get stronger. You are here and you are okay." she said solemnly, her eyebrows furrowing slightly before pulling away with a sigh.
"You should have told me you still had nightmares Izzy. We really should get you some help with that sometime soon. You always wake up thinking that you killed me that day and frankly I'm getting worried about you." she continued, walking over to where she had two plates with sandwiches on them and brought them over, setting them on the table next to me.
The more she talked the more relaxed I became. My hands slowly dropped from my hair and rested limply at my sides. Could what she said be true? Did she really survive that day and run off with me?
"What happened that day, sissy. How are you still alive? How did we get here? Wha-" she cut me off with a wave of her hand. Her dark blue eyes glinted softly, reflecting the pain I'm sure she saw on my face.
"After you killed our parents, I almost went and called the police. But then I saw the look of absolute terror and panic on your face and I realized I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to live myself watching my little sister be put in handcuffs and charged with murder. So instead I packed our bags and grabbed all the stuff we would need, and we ran. We lived on the streets and did all we could to get by. Eventually you learned how to use your powers and our lived got a lot easier since then." she heaved a sigh, her eyes watery.
"Eventually, we ended up here. Living the lives we always wished we had when we were young. Living together in Paris, successful and beautiful and enjoying life. We did it, we made it and we're here, together. Just you and me against everybody else. Just how we've always wanted."
The more I stood there and listened the more I believed her. I could only imagine the hardships we've been through. Us on the run for those looking for us, looking for me after killing our parents and the boy. How hard it was for us with learning and dealing with my powers. Taking a shaky breathe I realized I believed her. All those years of being a heartless criminal willing to do anything to get what I wanted, all those years locked in that dark cell, barely able to move. It really was a dream.
Eyes brimming with tears I threw myself into her arms. We held each other tightly, both crying into each others shoulders and smiling. Pulling back, we grinned at each other and laughed shakily. Sighing softly, I whispered.
"I missed you so much Al-"
And then suddenly she disappeared
Feeling a sharp pain on my cheek I opened my eyes in confusion. Looking around wildly I realized that my sister was gone, she wasn't anywhere to be found and it was just me. Looking more closely I realized I was back in Midway City, about to fight the witch that was destroying this place. Sucking in a sharp breath I screamed in rage. Standing up I looked around to see the witch standing there, watching me with a sly smile on her face. Ignoring the fight going down in front of me I stood up and stormed over to her.
Getting up in her face I seethed in rage. I heard the others call my name but I ignored them, glaring at her in loathing.
"What did you do to her." I say dangerously, my voice practically a whisper. Enchantress only smiled wider, not giving me an answer.
"Give her BACK TO ME!" I roared, only inches away from her face.
She didn't so much as flinch at the noise I made. Only flicked her wrist and I was sent falling down the stairs and landed on my back. Looking up at her I got up quickly, my hands shaking in fury. My lips curled into a snarl and I opened my mouth to speak when suddenly I was launched into a pillar by a weird orange tentacle thingy. Stunned, it took me a second to get my bearings when Deadshot's face appeared in front of me.
"What are you doing girl? Get up and get out there! We gotta kill this thing!" He shouts before backing away, shooting the giant man, creature, thing….whatever he is. Shaking my head I ignored thoughts of my sister and focused on the situation at hand. Everyone sans Croc was fighting this thing with all they had and from what I could see they were barely making a dent into this guy.
Getting up I unsheathed my knives and got myself ready. Getting ready to charge at him a sudden wave of vertigo ran through me and I collapsed onto my hands and knees, my weapons scattering a few feet away from me. Looking up through my hair I could barely focus on what I was seeing to even think about moving. There were blurry blobs moving rapidly all over the place and I could only barely identify who was who.
The vertigo feeling was only getting worse and it felt like I was drowning. The power in the air was suffocating and I could feel my powers fluctuating wildly at the influx of energy surrounding this place. I had subconsciously been drawn to the power in this place before but actually being here was not doing good things to me. I was basically useless.
Groaning into my arm, I slowly began moving onto my hands and knees. I was just beginning to lift my head when a rough hand grabbed my arm and pulled me behind a pillar. Looking up I saw Boomerang looking down at me with irritation.
"What the hell is wrong with ya? You just lying there in the middle of a fucking fight is gonna get you killed! Get your shit together Jinx or stay out of the way. We don't need you dying on us." he said harshly before strutting away, jumping back into the fray.
My eyes screwed up tightly in frustration. It was just as I feared. I was just getting in the way and I wasn't helping at all! I'm not even in pain anymore but here I am fucking about and doing nothing! No, this is bullshit. I'm not going to let some wicked bitch affect me this way. No, I was going to fight and prove to them that I can do this. I will kick this bitch's ass. 'Get up, I'll suppress her as long as I can. GO!' my twin shouted at me.
Getting up, I cracked my neck, a bloody grin on my face.
"Thanks sissy." I say breathlessly before jumping out from behind the pillar and sprinting towards the discarded weapons on the ground.
Grabbing them up I ran towards the big guy, jumping on his turned back, stabbing through the armor on his next before flipping off his back and landing a few feet back in a crouch. I dodged the incoming tentacle coming towards me as I caught the pistol Deadshot through at me, firing off a couple shots at the creature, before dodging once more. I covered Katana as she sliced off the dudes hand, but it grew back just as quickly.
I fired again once more but ran out of bullets. Throwing the gun to the side, I went to rush at him but was knocked into the crumbled wall, blood spurting from my mouth as my back was wracked with pain. Grunting in pain, I rolled onto my side, trying to lift myself up when I heard a roar. Looking up sharply, I saw him.
Diablo.
Where he was standing was this tall skeleton creature covered in flames, anger emanating from in waves. The two creatures were now fighting face to face. They were both extremely powerful and it was unclear to me who truly had the upper hand in that moment. Harley rushing over to me distracted me for a moment when she helped me up with a bright smile adorning her red smeared lips.
"Up you get Jinxy! Can't have you taking a nap while we all do the hard work!" she said teasingly.
Rolling my eyes I steadied myself with her help, ignoring the pain running through my body at movement when I heard a shout.
"Diablo, get him in the corner, now!"
Diablo pushed the thing back into the corner, leaning over him and reaching his molten hand into its chest and squeezing, melting the area around the appendage. But then he lost his footing and the creature grabbed Diablo around the throat and held him to the ground, he slowly reverting to his human form as he looked at Flagg. His tattooed face tensed in pain as Flagg shouted at him to get out of there.
"Blow it!" Diablo yelled back, fire dancing in his eyes.I tensed instantly and went to take a step forward but was held back by Boomerang, who had stood next to me moments ago. I went to jerk out of his hold but he looked at me, sorrow reflecting in his eyes as he shook his head. I gritted my teeth as I looked over at Flagg and Deadshot, waiting to see what they would do.
"Blow it," Deadshot said firmly to Flagg, a look of regret on his face.
"Now, GQ, Now." Flagg said mournfully as I finally jerked out of Boomerangs hold.
"NO!" Harley and I screamed as Flagg told everyone to get down. Making a decision, my eyes steeled as Harley looked at me, realization on her face at what I was about to do.
"No Jinxy you can't" she said breathlessly, grabbing my wrist. Jerking my wrist out of her grasp I took another step forward.
"Watch me." I growled under my breath, ignoring the shouts of everyone as I disappeared in a cloud of grey mist, appearing before a panicked Diablo.
"Get out of here Jinx! GO!" he screamed at me desperately. Ignoring him, I grabbed ahold of his shoulder tightly.
"It's my turn to save you now Chato," I say with a smirk. Holding him tighter, I kicked the hand holding him with all my strength, causing the creature to let go before teleporting us away from him.
Landing a few feet away from Deadshot, I grinned at him smugly when the explosion went off behind me. I opened my mouth to speak when a huge piece of debris hit me in the back, causing me to land on top of Diablo with a groan of pain. Rolling off him I blew the hair out of my face as Flagg helped me up, Deadshot doing the same for Diablo next to me.
"That's going to be a nasty bruise" I say with a grimace as I rub my back softly.
Before anyone else could say anything else a dark chuckle echoed around us. The witch was crouched on the stairs, her now lank and dirty hair getting in her face as she laughed.
"You're next," Deadshot warned her.
"My spell is complete, once you and your armies are gone, my darkness will spread over the world. And it will be mine to rule." the witch said, turning her back to us, she faced the swirling mass of power and threw her arms out. An explosion of light flashed out from inside of the vortex, knocking us all to the ground at once.
Getting out of her main path, we all watched as more light crackled throughout the sky.
"You gotta move here Flagg?" Deadshot shouted over the loud sounds the mass of power was making.
"We have to cut her heart out!" Flagg shouted back, gritting his teeth.
Not missing what he said, Enchantress immediately crouched on the raised platform from which she stood and hissed before disappearing in a shroud of smoke.
They all began to fight as she reappeared in front of us while I stood back and protected Diablo, who was too weak after his fight to do anything but sit stand there, practically leaning against a wall. It lasted a couple minutes longer, both sides getting some decent hits in before she disappeared once more and reappeared on the the stairs, breathing heavily.
"Enough!" she shouted, drawing her hands in a pulling motion as all the weapons we had got launched out of our hands and onto the ground in front of her. "Of all who have faced me, you have earned mercy. For the last time, join me...or die."
Looking at the ground for a moment, I remembered the dream I had of my sister and I, her alive and well, both of us unafraid and living in Paris, everything we wanted. Taking a deep breath, I relaxed slightly, and took a step forward, but a warm hand held me back. Looking over my shoulder I saw Diablo looking at me shaking his head slowly.
Tears brimming from my eyes, I sucked in a sharp breath. I avoided his eyes as he turned me towards him.
"She was alive," I whispered, looking up at him through my lashes, my lip quivering.
He smiled at me sadly, bringing me towards him in a hug. I clutched at his waist as I held in my tears, refusing to let them fall.
"It was just a dream chica, she can't really bring them back." he murmured softly into my hair, his fingers brushing through my tangled hair gently, as to not cause me pain. I smiled tightly and pulled away, wiping my eyes and looking toward the others. My eyes widened when I saw Harley take a couple steps forward, ignoring Deadshot's warning.
"Hey lady? I lost my Puddin'. But you can get him back right?" she asked tentatively.
"I can my dear, anything you want." Enchantress said solemnly.
"You promise?" Harley asks.
"Yes child," she assured her, stepping down to stand in front of where Harley stood, "You need only bow."
"I like what you're selling lady," Harley begins, slowly kneeling to the floor, "But the thing is, you've messed with my friends!" she finishes, surging up, tearing her hands through the witches chest, grasping her heart and yanking it out as Enchantress arched her back in pain, weakened.
"Her heart's out! We can end this!" Flagg shouted before grabbing a bag from one of his dead soldiers and pulled out several sticks of dynamite strapped together.
"Hey Croc!" Flagg shouts once more, turning at his name, Croc looks at Flagg, he was throwing the dynamite to him.
It was almost like in slow motion at that point. Croc threw the dynamite toward the power vortex, Deadshot aiming at the thing, him firing, and then the massive explosion. The huge mass exploding and disappearing as the witch layed there on the ground, too weak to do anything about it.
"That was a great shot man." Flagg congratulated Deadshot, hugging the man quickly before Deadshot pushed him away with a "I don't do hugs." I snickered at them which caused Deadshot to glare at me briefly, to which I held up my hands innocently, a smirk on my face. Harley giggled at me as she linked arms with me and walked us over to stand with the rest of them in front of Enchantress.
"You bring June back! You bring her back to me or I crush this!" Flagg ordered her, holding up the heart in front of him in warning.
The witch chuckled tiredly before sneering at him.
"You don't have the balls." she hissed.
Deadshot looked away as Flagg slowly crushed the witches heart into dust. She gave one final shriek before she fell into the mud, dead. We stood there sadly as Flagg bowed his head in sadness, silently mourning for the woman he loved. I looked at Harley, her face screwed up in pain as I wrapped my arms around her gently, her head resting on my chest, sadness glinting in her eyes. I was rubbing her back lightly to comfort her when suddenly I heard a gasp.
"June!" Flagg exclaimed, grabbing a hold of the alive, and very much naked June who was now shivering in his arms as the murmured to each other. We all grinned at the sight, happy that Flagg's love was alive. Releasing Harley, I stretched my arms above my head, wincing at the pain but cracked my back anyways.
"Well, I should probably be on my way then. I have shit I need to do, places to be, traitors to lynch, that sorta thing." I said teasingly, winking at them. I went to turn around when a cold voice stopped me in my tracks.
"No one's going anywhere."
At the sudden intrusion we all turned around to see someone I certainly hadn't been expecting.
Waller.
"Are you fucking kidding me," I said flatly, my eyes narrowing as I crossed my arms defensively. "How are you even still alive."
Waller was holding up her phone, the killer app displayed over the screen with her thumb hovered over our faces. I dropped my hands to my sides and clenched my fists. My eyes glowed blue as I took a step forward threateningly. Feeling a hand on my shoulder, I looked up to see Deadshot shaking his head at me, his lips pursed in anger.
"Bitch, how are you not dead?" Deadshot snapped at Waller, gesturing towards her in exasperation. Not getting an answer from her, he spoke again. "What, we do this and we don't get shit?"
"Ten years off your prison sentences." Waller offered. Immediately Boomerang laughed harshly from behind me. I gritted my teeth, my eyes still bright blue while Croc hissed in irritation.
"Nah that's not enough, I'm seeing my daughter." Deadshot said firmly. At his words Waller dropped her head, relaxing the arm holding the phone and sighed tiredly.
"That can be arranged. Any other requests?" she said, observing the rest of us with an eyebrow raised. Oh honey I could think of plenty of things.
"Oooh, an espresso machine?" Harley asked brightly.
"Done. Anything else?"
"BET" Croc grunted to which Waller nodded her assent.
"How about you La'Poux? Anything you got for me?" Waller asks, a smirk forming on her lips.
Pretending to think about it, I pursed my lips and crossed my arms, tapping my arm in thought. "Hmmmmm."
Waller's eye twitched.
Grinning suddenly, I raised my hand in 'realization' and brought fist down on my palm with a sharp smack.
"I've decided! What I want is…" I trailed off.
The others groaned behind me while Harley giggle as I purposefully irritated Waller.
"A shower. What I want is a daily shower because holy shit those cells are nasty." I said seriously. Boomerang sighed loudly behind me as Waller rolled her eyes in exasperation.
Heh, I considered that a win.
I chuckled to myself as I stretched my arms above my back, cracking it in the process, while I ignored Boomerang and his bitching. I looked to my left to see Harley looking at me curiously.
"Got somethin' to say crazy pants?" I asked lightly. She nodded once and put a finger to her pursed lips for a moment before pointing at me abruptly.
"You said that if we won and were still alive afterwards you would tell us you sisters name! Well? Spit it out Jinxy!" she said with a grin.
Raising an eyebrow at her I looked over at the others to see them waiting for my answer, yet again. Goddamn these people are so nosy! 'Don't even kid yourself you like it.' Yeah that was besides the point. Sighing exaggeratedly. I dropped my hands to my hips.
"Okay fine, ya nosy bastards. Her name was…"
Yes I know, I'm evil. You guys did get a hint though earlier so do what you will with that. Let me know what you guys think her name was and those who guess right get the satisfaction of guessing right XD Anyways, that was the final battle between all of them before the end of the movie. This is the last chapter where you get to decide who she ends up with and the majority of people want her to end up with Harley so far but we'll see in the next chapter won't we? (Or will we? Mwwwahhahaha) Yeah, I'm lame fight me about it xD Regardless I love you all and hope you enjoyed the chapter!
