The rain continued to pour as we made our way through the streets, up ahead I saw the crashed helicopter Waller had entered and saw the bullets through the glass. i was slightly surprised when we didn't find her body inside which to me didn't make sense. coming from my personal expereicne from her i would gladly take the first chance of killing her.

"So let me guess, we're going to the swirling ring of trash in the sky" Floyd glared at Flagg "when does this end Flagg?"

"Load up, get ready for a fight"

Sighing I heard my back crack from tonights activities, as we walked past the trash i caught sight of a small teddy bear

Flashback

"But it's so cute daddy why?"

"This is for the children who need it Evelyn, children who deserve toys"

My bottom lip wobbled as the stuffed bear looked back at me innocently as if to say 'pick me up'

End of flashback

"Oy" feeling nudged I saw Digger looking at me "you alright there"

putting on a bright smile i nodded before continuing to walk, i only stopped when Deadshot threw something near Flagg.

"You tell everybody, everything, or you and me are gonna go right now"

frowning i turned my attention to the man who remarkably still had a few solders around him, all of whom looked at equally loss as us.

"3 days ago, a non-human entity appeared in the subway station. So Waller sent me and a woman with incredibles abilities. A witch. See, nobody could get near this thing, but... The witch could. Needless to say the whole thing was a bad idea. And that's how she escaped from Waller. So now you know"

"So basically this was your fault and you expected to risk our lives for a ... witch ... who could do god knows what and in the process get us killed? why am I not shocked you lied to us" I spat, Flagg looked away

"You can just kill me right now but... I'm going to have a drink"

"Best idea I've heard all night" turning I quickly followed him, Digger and Harley following shortly behind

"Hey, Deadshot, I need your help.

"No, sir. You need a miracle"

I saw Harley give a dramatic bow before following me and Deadshot into the surprisingly neat bar.


I grabbed a bottle of tequila and sat on the bar as I watched Harley busy herself by making drinks. Floyds started to talk how we almost paid it off, I rolled my shoulder as the injury stared to hurt but I wasn't complaining I've had worse.

things got real deep when Diablo and Floyd started to talk though which diverted my attention from my injury and towards the argument.

"It's coming back around for you. How many people you killed, man?" Diablo turned to Deadshot who alsmost glared at the firefly

"You don't ask nobody no question like that, ese"

"You ain't ever whacked down no women. No kids"

"I don't kill women or children"

"I do"

I shared a look with Harley who, like me, seemed a little shocked at this remark. sure he was a dangerous individual but he didn't seem like a person who would kill women or children. not that it would matter really they were all the same to me.

"See, I was born with the devil's gift. I kept it hidden most of my life, but... The older I got, the stronger I got. So I started using it. For business, you know, the more power on the street I got, the more firepower I got. Like that shit went hand in hand. You know, one was feeding the other. Ain't nobody tell me no. Except my old lady. You know, she used to pray for me. Even when I didn't want it. God didn't give me this. Why should he take it away? See, when I get mad, I lose control. You know, I just... I don't know what I do... Till it's done"

Well shit! we all watched as Diablo placed a cup over the burning dancing women until she was nothing but smoke.

"And the kids?" Digger questioned, he looked generally upset

"He killed them. Didn't you?" Harley snapped

The depressing atmosphere seemed to thicken as I took another shot of my drink, I droned out the conversation as Harley seemed to tell Diablo he needed to own his shit. which of course earned her a response back from Deadshot and Boomer.

"Frosty?"

lifting my head away from the empty glass I looked at the squad who all looked at me

"Huh?"

"What's your deal with your old man? Flagg said he would help you find him"

chuckling lightly I swung my legs round "aw is this sharing time? Should we all get in a circle and hold hands?"

Floyd gave me a dry look before I rolled my eyes

"My old man hates me"

"I'm sure that's not true" Diablo said looking at me the glass now on the table

"Would you ever chain your kids up in the basement for spilling soup?" There was silence in the bar causing me to chuckle "yeah he did that alot and he did it even more as I got older when my powers really kicked in. He blamed me for every little thing which went bad in his life. including the death of his wife. I think I was about 5 when I first remembered using my gifts but he would tell me when I would cry as a baby my whole body would turn cold and icy as if to protect myself" chuckling to myself the squad looked at me waiting to finish my story "he was verbally abusive, shit I hated the kids at school who always told other kids how their dad was the best. teachers would look disapprovingly at me when I said there was nothing good about my dad, the preacher of our little pony town. Then, just before I hit 6, he punished me by locking me in the cellar of our family home" I held out my palms to show them the faded yet jagged line from the cuffs "he would always put them on too tight, knowing they would cut deep enough to bleed. The abuse continued occasionally he would take off his belt to leave welts on my back as well but it was the usual shit. I made my first kill when I was 6, these assholes were calling me a freak and I just remember letting go. I still remember the shards of ice sticking from parts of their bodies. I'm thankful I killed them, I don't regret anything I do or done because it got me away from him. on my 7th birthday, I managed to loosen the cuffs using my blood and ran away. I did go back when I was 14 to kill the bastard but I couldn't find him, not even in his precious church. however I do remember the people in their and how they looked at me with disgust and fear when I killed those kids. So I killed them and propped them up like they were praying, hoping the piece of shit knew I was coming for him. Unfortunately I was caught when I was 15 by the bat and I've been locked up in Belle Reve ever since"

The bar was filled with silence, not even Harley spoke, she was too busy looking down at her drink.

"Shit kid" Floyd spoke first, turning to me and I saw tears in his eyes "I'm sorry that happened to you"

"When you find him shorty, I'll personally help kill him" Croc growled and I smiled

"How old are you?" Harley questioned

"27"

"Jesus, you've been locked up for 13 years?" Harley gasped

"Yep, and I really don't want to go back so...I need to find a way to get this stupid thing in my neck deactivated because I really don't want to save that bitch"

the door opened to reveal Flagg who had the decency to look a little weary

"We don't want you here"

Flagg briefly looked at Harley before turning to Deadshot "You get to the part in that binder saying I was sleeping with her?"

"Yeah. I never been with a witch before. What's that like?" smirking to myself I took another shot of the tequila as Floyd explained the situation to us "Apparently that's why the creatures chase him all the time. 'Cause the witch is scared of him"

"The only woman I ever cared about... Is trapped inside that monster. If I don't stop the witch, it's over. Everything is over. You're free to go" he smashed the devise and I immediately clutched my neck feeling my heart sore. I could go. Digger moved first but not before taking some more beer

"You coming Frosty?" he yelled, not waiting for me to reply as he walked out the door.

"Your daughter writes you everyday. Every single day"

Floyd blocked Flagg's exit as he pointed a finger to his chest "You had these the whole time? You had letters from my daughter the whole time? I'm gonna get you there. And you're gonna end this. I'm gonna carry your ass if I have to. 'Cause this shit is gonna be like a chapter in the Bible. Everybody's gonna know what we did. And my daughter is gonna know that her Daddy is not a piece of shit"

I looked towards Diablo who was already looking at me "I know you want to go, I get that, but I get the feeling your not going to ditch us"

biting my lip I tried to think of the advantages of leaving, but I didn't want to leave knowing my new found friends could die at the hand of a psycho witch bent on destroying the world.

"I'll come. What? You got something better to do?" grabbing her bat she grabbed my hand and brought me with her "are you fighting with us honey?"

"well it's not every day I get to take down a witch" grinning at her she gave me a grin back before calling the rest of the bar pussies.


As I walked next to Harley making our way towards the witch Digger came to my side finishing off his beer "Glad you came back Aussie" I remarked causing him to wink

"Couldn't leave my girl behind" scoffing he continued with a chuckle "I'll be your Clyde if you be my Bonnie"

"And look what happened to them" I replied with a smirk while feeling my heart clench. damn it I really did like the loony thief.

He grinned showing me his one gold tooth "well we've all gotta die of something, might as well go out with a bang"
