Chapter X

The White House- Day. The President's limo pulls up outside the front doors. The driver gets out and opens the back door; Amanda Waller steps out, followed by Jericho, faced by a crowd of reporters and photographers.

Amanda Waller: Back off, all of you.

Her bodyguards pointed their rifles at the paparazzi; they backed off immediately. Waller and Jericho walk inside. They walk to the Oval Office and lock the door, Waller sits behind the desk. A familiar man emerges from the shadows.

Man: Madam President.

Amanda Waller: Colonel.

Rick Flag: I heard you were shot.

Amanda Waller: It will heal. Right now, there are more pressing matters.

Rick Flag: I'll search for the traitors. The foot's healed and I'm back in active duty.

Amanda Waller: Good. She won't get away this time. I can set a trap for her, and when she arrives, have her captured, hold her in Belle Reve Penitentiary, and have her executed, along with Red Hood and the Crocks.

Jericho looked down.

Rick Flag: Something troubling you, Jericho?

Jericho: Huh? Oh, no sir.

Amanda Waller: Did you get all that?

Jericho: Yeah. Leave Ravager to me.

Villains Bar- Meanwhile. Deadshot was drinking peacefully not letting anything bother him.

Newsreader (On the TV): And in other news, President Waller was shot on her way back to the States this morning. She delivered no comment about how or why this has happened.

Barfly: She's keeping it under wraps... because it's personal.

Deadshot: And how do you know that Ford?

Ford: The look on her face. It's not hard to miss. She's gone batshit crazy.

Deadshot: And I think I know who drove her.

Meanwhile, Ravager, Red Hood and Artemis (With Sportsmaster in second seat) were flying the jets they stole from the Russian airbase.

Red Hood: So where are we going to hide?

Ravager: We have to hide somewhere the authorities will barely look.

Red Hood: Like a motel?

Ravager: That's not what I had in mind, but yes.

Sportsmaster: Uh...Where can we find a motel?

Artemis: Anywhere dad. Along highways.

Sportsmaster: Does Russia even have motels?

Ravager: I never cared to ask. When we get back to the States, we have to ditch our rides.

Sportsmaster: Yeah, great idea.

Artemis: But where will we crash?

Red Hood: An apartment, if she's got one.

Ravager: It's likely the government would be waiting for me there.

Sportsmaster: Of course. But can I suggest somewhere?

Ravager: Define 'somewhere'.

Sportsmaster: Somebody owes me a debt. He knows a thing or two about computers.

Red Hood: Who are you talking about?

Sportsmaster: His name is Nanue. And he's pretty techy for a guy born and raised in Atlantis.

Red Hood: Where does this "Nanue" guy live?

Sportsmaster: He lives in a windmill on a field in the Netherlands and luckily, we're flying over it.

Ravager: Just make it quick. I wanna be back in the states and give Waller what's coming to her.

Red Hood: You do realise she'll be expecting us?

Ravager: Yes. But I may be able to save Jericho, and blackmail Waller.

They land their planes on the field and walk up to the windmill.

Sportsmaster: Trust me Rose, this guy is the best hacker I have had the opportunity to work with.

Sportsmaster knocks on the door and a giant humanoid man shark opens the door. Artemis lets out a surprised scream.

King Shark: I assume that's hello in Crock language?

Ravager: I thought he was dead.

King Shark: I'm not dead. I surgically removed the bomb from the back of my neck.

Red Hood: I remotely deactivated mine and hers.

He looks at Ravager; she nods.

King Shark: What?!

The giant shark man picked up Red Hood and started shaking him.

King Shark: How did you do it?! Tell me!

Red Hood: That secret is between me and Batman.

King Shark: Tell me or I find your parents and eat their corpses!

Red Hood: I don't have parents anymore.

King Shark: I'll still eat them!

Sportsmaster: Nanue, enough!

King Shark: Okay, fine. I think I've eaten enough Titans anyway.

Artemis shudders. King Shark lowers Red Hood.

King Shark: Oh yeah. I ate a Titan's arm one time.

Artemis: Is there a bathroom? I seriously have to vomit.

King Shark: In the cellar. (Artemis leaves, King Shark looks at Ravager) Hey, I recognise the colour pattern of your mask, reminds me of Slade.

Ravager: I'm his daughter, Rose. Waller wants to kill me.

King Shark: Oh, what a bitch. Come in. I'll make ya'll some tea.

Red Hood: Does he know how to make tea?

King Shark: Do you assume that I can't because I'm a shark?

Red Hood: What? No. You're not a normal shark, you're more half and half.

King Shark: Uh, huh. I'm not gonna let that racist comment slide though.

Sportsmaster: Now, down to business.

King Shark: Okay, what is it you want me to do?

Ravager: Find as much incriminating evidence on Waller as you possibly can.

King Shark: Oh, I got plenty of those.

He goes inside; Ravager, Red Hood and Sportsmaster follow.

Inside the windmill: King Shark turns on the kettle and sits down at a computer. He then pulls up evidence of the Suicide Squad and Waller's involvement.

Red Hood: My god. She's even more corrupt than I thought.

King Shark: That's because she forced the squad in. The government gave her the go-ahead.

He opens a document.

King Shark: This here is a list of all the squad members, past and present, and deceased.

The list contained the following names:
-Deadshot
-King Shark
-Copperhead (Deceased)
-Killer Frost (Deceased)
-Harley Quinn (Unknown, Possibly Deceased)
-Enchantress (Deceased)
-Black Spider
-KGBeast
-Katana (Deceased)
-Bronze Tiger (Deceased)
-Deathstroke
-Captain Boomerang (Deceased)
-Killer Croc

Red Hood: Deathstroke?

Ravager: My father.

The Kettle starts whistling.

King Shark: Oh, tea's ready.

Sportsmaster: I got it.

He walks over to the countertop, picks up the kettle and pours the water into four cups. He places them on a tray and walks back over, laying the cups on the table.

Sportsmaster: Any beer?

King Shark: I don't drink.

Sportsmaster: I meant for me.

King Shark: In the cellar.

Sportsmaster: Thanks.

He leaves. Artemis enters.

Artemis: So, what's the plan?

Ravager: We post these on the Internet. The world needs to know.

King Shark: It could make a storm on Tweeter.

Artemis: Why not Facelook?

Red Hood: Who uses Facelook these days?

Ravager: I say we post them to every social media source with King Shark as evidence. Soon, everyone will know.

Artemis: And let's hope they believe them.

King Shark enters his personal Tweeter account and makes a new post, featuring the list of Squad members and Waller's involvement, before clicking 'Post'. He logs out and logs onto Facelook, repeating the same process as on Tweeter, before posting.

The White House: Later. A man runs into the Oval Office.

Man: President Waller, you'd better take a look at this.

Amanda Waller: This had better be an update on Ravager and Red Hood's whereabouts.

Man: It's much more serious.

The man hands Waller his phone.

Man: I was on my Tweeter account and I found something to do with you.

Waller scrolls through the Tweeter page, stunned.

Amanda Waller: This is all meant to be private information.

Man: Shit. What if the public thinks this is true?

Amanda Waller: Then I'm gonna be out of here. (She hands him his phone back) Who uploaded this?

The Netherlands- Meanwhile.

King Shark: Well, looks like my work is done.

Sportsmaster: But it won't be long before the government uses their high tech junk to track you down.

King Shark: I'd just flee into the ocean before they find me.

Ravager: C'mon, let's not keep the President waiting.

Artemis: I say we leave and then blow up the windmill.

King Shark: You seriously gonna destroy my house?!

Artemis: You'll have time to pack.

King Shark: Well, if I don't wanna be caught by the fat bitch, then this is the way. Do we have bombs?

Red Hood: Do you have gas?

King Shark: Yes, for powering the stove. It's, yet again, in the cellar?

Sportsmaster: You have everything down there.

Ravager: Then we have all we need to blow this place sky high.

King Shark: I'll get my belongings organised.

Ravager: We'll get the explosives ready.

King Shark goes up a floor to pack. Red Hood goes outside to his jet, and pulls out a detonator.

Later:

A group of armed soldiers arrived at the windmill.

Captain: Nanue, come out with your hands up!

A few minutes pass:

Soldier: Sir, he's not responding.

Captain: Well go in there and arrest him.

Soldier: Yes sir.

He signals the other soldiers to follow him inside. He kicks down the door, and they file in.

Soldier: Alright, Jaws, come out with your fins up! We know you've got private information on the president!

Then, the windmill explodes along with the soldiers. A blade flies off and slices the Captain in half.

Amanda Waller (Voice): Captain?! What's happening?! Report!

Red Hood walks over to the captain, and picks up his communicator.

Red Hood: Sorry Madam President, but your Captain had to split.

Amanda Waller (Voice): Todd, you fucking traitor!

Red Hood: The whole world knows that you're the fucking traitor, President.

Amanda Waller (Voice): Sure, but my country doesn't believe in cyber terrorists.

Red Hood: They will.

He hangs up, and looks at the others.

Red Hood: Let's go.

He approaches his jet and enters. Ravager climbs into her jet, and takes off with Red Hood. Artemis and Sportsmaster enter their jet, and take off, bound for the US.

The White House: Meanwhile. Amanda Waller was giving orders to Colonel Flag.

Amanda Waller: I need every security guard on duty. I don't care if they're off duty, sick or retired, I need a squad goddammit!

Rick Flag: I'll get on it, Madam.

He leaves.

Amanda Waller: And you, Jericho.

She turns to him.

Jericho: Yes Ma'am.

Amanda Waller: Will give your sister a welcoming party she'll never forget.

Jericho: We will.
