Reminded me why I love writing this story so much in the first place; I will get this story finished :') I will I will I will!
ENJOY!
and please keep reviewing, it literally makes my day 100X better!
After mumbling about the rain for the past half an hour we thankfully come towards where the helicopter must have crashed landing. Is it wrong of me to hope Waller was at least a little damaged from the fall? Looking at all the bullet holes in the side of the copter I couldn't help but feel a smidge of respect for the bitch, she didn't go down without a fight. Good to know. Following Digger so we could get closer to the door, Flag looks inside cockpit, finding nothing (I assume) he slammed the door shut.
"So, let me guess. We're going to the swirling ring of trash in the sky?" Staring over at Flag and Floyd i can't help but feel a little sorry for Flag. I hope the poor lad gets a raise after this mission. "You know, 'cause why wouldn't we," Diablo steps next to me. Sending him a small reassuring smile I grip Diggers coat a little tighter. Whatever was controlling that ring of 'trash', as Floyd so poetically calls it, was hell of a lot stronger than just us. "When does this end Flag?" Seeing Flag's shoulders tense I sigh. Pride and Men just shouldn't be allowed to mix together.
"Load up. We're in for a fight". I'm sorry, haven't we just had three literal fights tonight? I dunno about these guys but my fight-motor is running a little low on fuel. Watching the others start to walk away I move over to the door of the helicopter, feeling a warning hand on my back I turn back to Digger and his worried eyes.
"I'm just looking for some spare ammo Digs, don't worry," I kiss his cheek quickly before I could stop myself before going to the door and opening it.
"Don't worry Digger, I'll keep an eye on her. I need ammo for my guns too." Hearing Floyd's footsteps towards me I listen for Diggers retreating ones. After a few seconds, I hear them moving to where the others are heading. "Come on honey, Deadshot will keep an eye on her!" Harley's voice broke the quiet, smirking to myself I go to rummaging in one of the bags; finding a few reload cartridges I hold them up in pride. Bingo. "It's not his eyes I'm w'rried 'bout, it's his hands". Looking over my shoulder to see Floyd grin; I roll my eyes. Men. I don't have enough energy to play with two guys, one is enough.
Seeing a black briefcase my curiosity gets the best of me, throwing the reloads back to Floyd I reach for the bag and pull it open to find a white folder with orange 'Top Secret' writing on the side. So not subtle. And so not quenching my curiosity. "Hey Floyd," I pull it open to see his face on the first sheet, down the side are other names: Harley Quinn, El Diablo, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and The Raven. "Yeah?" Pulling the folder from the safety of the floor I see one other name in a thicker font that all the others: The Enchantress. Turning around so Floyd could see the folder I flick through it till I come to that section. Reading through it quickly I can honestly say I feel a bit sick. Looking up into Floyds brown eyes I can't help but frown, "I think I know what's controlling that swirling ring of trash in the sky". Handing him the folder I finish reloading my guns; would a gun be able to stop a Witch anyway?
"I'm gonna kick his ass," following a seething Floyd I can barely keep up with his long strides to the others. Jogging slightly, I clutch onto Diggers arm when we finally make it up to the others while Floyd throws the folder nearly catching Flag's head in the process. If he was trying to aim for him, he missed. Best hitman in the world my ass.
"Wha's going on Amara?" Diggers lips rub against my ear as he whispers, his hand pulls me closer to him as both Flag and Floyd square up to one another again.
"You tell everybody, everything. Or me and you are gonna go right now". For Floyd, he actually sounded quite calm, seeing his shoulders raised made it clear that he was ready to kick ass though. Looking up at Digger I rest my head on his shoulder as Flag starts to tell everyone what the real mission is:
"Three days ago, a non-human entity appeared in the subway station. So Waller sent me and a woman with incredible abilities. A Witch. See, nobody could get near this thing, but … the witch could. Needless to say the whole thing was a bad idea. She bolted. She set the bomb and disappeared and joined forces with the entity, that's how she got away from Waller. So now you know". Watching his eyes I could see moisture start to pool in the depths, poor sap forgot to mention that he was in love with the woman. Feeling Diggers fingers rub soothing circles into my hips I bite my lip. Would I be able to cope if I lost him? Well course I could but it's more … would I want to lose him? Pressing my lips against his throat I close my eyes and feel him tense slightly before pulling me further into his side. Would he want to lose me?
"You can just kill me right now but … I'm going to have a drink". Floyd stalked off to a bar just off to the side of us; how on earth did he know there was a bar there? "Head Deadshot I need your help!" Biting my lip harder I can see Harley move to follow Floyd to the bar. "No sir. You need a miracle". Sighing I look to Flag to see his eyes on Digger, who merrily nodded as he dragged us both to the bar, looking over my shoulder I could see his shoulders slump as the soldiers walk off in the other direction. Why didn't he tell them he was in love with this woman? Or better yet, why not tell us this from the beginning so we could prepare for this?
Walking into the bar I sit beside Floyd as Dig takes the seat next to me; Croc was behind us by the fish tank, Diablo was a few seats down from us and Harley was behind the bar.
"What's you having, KC?" I ask Croc, "Bloody Mary, right?" Rolling my eyes at Harleys comment I smile at Croc, "the world might be ending Croc, come have a drink with us." I can see his eyes narrow slightly before rolling, "beer". "There he is!" Giggling I turn back round to Digger who was grinning, "get the man a beer". Harley pulls a beer out the fridge, I chuckle more when I see Digger pull out his own beer from his jacket.
"What else have you got in there?" Giggling at his smirk, he slides his hand on my thigh as he leans forward to breathe in my ear; "you'll find 'ut later." Feeling heat creeping up my cheeks I glare at him, my tiny smile might have ruined the effect though.
"What about you, hot stuff?" Diablo rubs the back of his neck while muttering water. "That's a good idea honey". Tact is not high on Harleys list of skills. "Ninja, you want some sake?" Closing my eyes I hold in a chuckle, yep definitely not high on her list. "What about you Rave?" Blinking I look at all the drinks and smirk, it's not often I can drink out in the City: "Cosmo please". Grinning she pours both Floyd and Katana a whiskey each before making my Cosmo and her Margarita. "Cheers" I grin as she pushes my glass to me, taking a small sip I wince. That's some strong Vodka. Shuddering slightly I lean a little into Diggers arm, his thumb was still rubbing small circles into my thigh.
"Here's to honour among thieves," holding up his whiskey, everyone follows suit apart from Katana who glares at him slightly.
"I'm not a thief". Walking over to a corner by Diablo I hold back a grin.
"Oh, she's not a thief". Laughing at Floyd's comment I tap his drink with my own before taking another sip, nearly choking when Digger throws in his two dimes: "I actually prefer to think of myself as an asset relocation specialist". Rubbing my chest, I gently smack his arm.
"Except that the relocation is going into your pocket Digs," his cheeky grin makes me go goey, I know if I could stop myself I would. Trust me. Thankfully Floyd carries on his speech distracting me from Diggers gold tooth.
"Well, we almost pulled it off. Despite what everybody thought." Patting his hand, I send him a small smile at his saddened look. He was after all only doing this mission so he could get back to his daughter. Yeah, I know stuff, I might be a bimbo half the time but I can be a bit clever … sometimes.
"We weren't picked to succeed, you know that right? We were all chosen to fail." Uh …. What?! I'm sorry, rewind!
"Yeah, I know that. Worst part of it is, they're gonna blame us for the whole thing. They can't have people knowing the truth. We're the patsies. The cover-up. Don't forget. We're the bad guys". Feeling my shoulders deflate slightly I catch Digger looking down at me. Are we going to make it through the night, or is this the calm before the storm? Will Charlotte and Zena know I didn't do this?
"So, are you gonna tell us now what your big deal with Flag was?" Harley asked with twirling the mini umbrella around between her fingers.
"Same thing Waller offered me to kill you. Chance to be a father. Chance to have a life outside the shadows. I trusted Flag". Frowning I remember my deal with Waller when she came to see me in that cell … she promised me I would be let out that cell and be free … would that really happen, would it sti- A slapping noise made me come back to reality. Seeing a plate on the floor by Floyds feet I can see redness in Diablo's eyes. Oh shit.
"Flag had you chasing a carrot on a stick, homie, you don't know that?" Kinda the only time we have all seen Diablo get this passionate about something … apart from that time he threw out flames and nearly burned that building to the ground. Shuffling in my seat I hide my smile at Harley's, 'I love this guy'.
"You played yourself, Dog". Well … that told you Deadshot. Seeing a flare of challenge in Floyds eyes I shake my head. Men.
"Bitch, I'm having a drink. I'm … breathing fresh air. For two sweet seconds … I had hope". Placing my hand on Diggers thigh I squeeze it slightly, I think we all did.
"You had hope, huh?" What on earth is Diablo's problem? "Hope don't stop the wheel from turning brother". "You preaching?" I'm sorry, is this church now?
"It's coming back round for you. How many people you killed, man?"
"You don't ask nobody no question like that, ese!" Confused, I watch the two talk. Harley leans on the bar with her drink dangling from her fingers, eyes alit with curiosity.
"You ain't never wacked down no women. No kids." What a bizarre statement.
"I don't kill women or children". Well good on you Floyd.
"I do". Uh … say what now? Seeing Diggers head turn towards the two in a show of interest his grip on my leg gets a little tighter as he places his beer can down. "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?" Watching his eyes start to mist up as he holds a hand up with a dancing woman in flames circling the middle of it. Please tell me he didn't kill them. Please please please!
He places his empty glass over the top of the woman; "See, when I get mad, I lose control. You know, I just... I don't know what I do...Till it's done." The flame started to slowly dim as the woman collapsed onto the floor and fizzle into smoke. Breathing in I bite my lip to stop myself from saying anything as Diablo looks as if he was about to break down.
"And the kids?" Looking up into Diggers face I can see his eyes were watery, truly hoping like me that he wasn't going to say what I think he was going to.
"He killed them. Didn't you?" Harley hissed at him, shocked I leaned right back into Digger, his hand wrapped around my waist till it was splayed onto my stomach shoving me against his body. But I wasn't noticing that, I was noticing the tears leaking down Diablo's face, the look of utter disgust at himself. If my heart wasn't already bust to pieces it would be breaking for him. He was given a power … and like the Greek Gods he just didn't control it correctly.
"Own that shit. Own IT! What'd you think was gonna happen, huh?"
"Hey Harley. Come on." Looking at the blonde she was fuming, confused I went to reach for her hand but she slammed her hands down on the bar, rethinking my move I tried to catch her eye but she was a bit too far gone; "What you were just …" "Harls…" She finally looked at me, her blue eyes swirled with tears, reaching out again I softly held her hand. She lost her love … but not through her actions, I kinda get why shes mad.
"you were just … thinking you can have a happy family … and coach little leagues and make car payments?! Normal is a setting on the dryer." She lets go of my hand as she points at Diablo, "people like us, we don't get normal!" Frowning I look up at Digger as his eyes glare over at Harls, his hand tightening on my stomach.
"Why is it always a knife fight every single time yeh open open your mouth?" He snarls across the bar at her, oh bloody hell. "Digger…" I softly scold him under my breath, he glances down at me before carrying on glaring at Harley, "You know, outside … your amazing". Leering at her he leans forwards before snarling again, "but inside … yeh ugly!" Well… ouch. His lips kiss the side of my head as he leans back, confused I look up at his darkened eyes. He really wasn't a happy bunny.
"We all are" Thanks Harley! Crooking an eyebrow at her she smirks in return. "we all are … except for him," nodding at Croc, "he's ugly on the outside too".
"Not me shorty, I'm beautiful." Grinning over my shoulder at him I wink. "Yeah you are". He winks back before growling making me and Harley giggle. Hearing the door open we watch as Flag stalks in, sharing a look with Digger I place my hand on a knife in case he tries anything. Placing his gun on the bar he sits beside Floyd as Harley glares down at him.
"We don't want you here." Well … can't blame a girl for being blunt now can ya.
"You get to that part in the binder saying I was sleeping with her?" He looks bashfully at all of us.
"I think it said a little more than you were fucking her Flag," I raised my eyebrows at him, considering it said he was madly in love with the woman harbouring the witch I doubt he was only having sex with her to keep her under control. No guy is that good at sex.
"Yeah, we did," Floyd grinned at me, "I've never been with a witch before, what's that like?" Men. "Apparently, that's why the creatures always chase after him all the time. 'Cause the witch is scared of him." Perhaps he was worse in bed … that bad that the witch is scared he will subject her to it again?
"The only woman I've ever cared about … is trapped inside that monster. If I don't stop the witch, it's over. Everything's over. Everything." What is it with everyone and bloody crying tonight? Watching his distraught face as he tears off the Killer App he smashes it three times for good measure on the bar. "You're free to go." I think I've lost my eyebrows in my hair again. What the fuck? Feeling a pair of lips kiss the side of my head I turn to see Digger getting up; "I'm coming back for yeh princess, don't cha worry," he murmurs into my hair before bolting out the door … uh what! Angrily I stand from my chair and stalk out the doors behind me, but not before sending Harley a quick wink.
Getting outside the doors I see his coat flutter around a building, running after him I duck around the corner of the building before slamming into his chest. His wicked smirk made me blush. "Knew yeh would follow me luv." Rolling my eyes I look up into his blue eyes as he gazes down at me.
"You know I'm helping them, if they choose to fight. You know that right?" He nods while cupping the one side of my face with his hand, while his other hand unlaces my mask letting it drop to the floor. Confused I catch his eyes again which have widened slightly.
"Guess I better make me move before we go runnin' off to get 'urselves killed then.". Grinning at him as I wrap my arms around his shoulders, tangling my fingers into his wild hair.
"Well you better hurry, I'm a fast runner," I tease as his smirk grows.
Leaning down he rubs his nose down my own, feeling his breath on my lips I can feel my stomach start battering around the sides again as it always does when he is so close. Standing on my tip toes I lean even closer to him. Would this kiss really matter by the end of tonight if we are all blown to smitherines … if we aren't, what will happen after we do complete the mission? Closing my eyes I take a deep breath and yank him forward. Smashing my lips with his.
Questions like that can be dealt with when we are not A) making out in an alley B) Have a crazy meta-human destroying Midtown C) saving the world.
Tilting my head I help deepen the kiss as he pulls my chest up against his, his one hand was cradling the back of my head while the other was on the flat of my back holding me possessively. Pulling away we both pant, opening my eyes his are staring straight into my own.
"Sheila … I ain't lettin' yeh go now. Yeh are mine now". He growls, pushing me up against a wall, his hand softened the blow on my head thankfully. Smirking I pull the labels of his coat close to me so my (pretty sure are swollen) lips are millimetres from his own, "what made ya think I'd let you go Captain?" With a growl his lips attach themselves back onto mine as we hear the doors to the bar open. Biting his bottom lip he groans into my mouth, letting go I grin up at the Aussie whose eyes were darker than obsidian.
"Come on big guy, lets go kick some ass, then we can finish what we've started," winking up at him I quickly press my lips to his before walking away towards the group, but not before he yanks me to him again.
Staring at me he reaches down to the floor to pick up my discarded mask, sliding it over my face he laces it back up. "if you get killed, I'm gonna bring yeh back n' kick yeh ass myself … am I clear?" Aww is this his way of showing that he cares?
"Crystal Cap now, come on." Linking his fingers with mine I drag us off out of the alley and follow towards where the others were walking, Dig pulls a beer out of his jacket and starts downing it. Rolling my eyes I hide a grin. Only him.
Soooooooooooooooooo? Whatcha think? I know there is a whole lot of dialogue in here but I included the extended scene to help give a little more background and banter between the characters I hope you all enjoyed this and FINALLY got Digs and Rave to have a moment to themselves … naughty sausages that they are ;) REVIEW PLEASEEE!
