Chapter Seven - FINALLY

"How's Pinky enjoying her new found freedom, oh that's right you weren't locked away like the rest of us did you?" Lena pondered quietly as the pair walked side by side nearly silent.
"That's right Darl not long at all." Harkness' response was smug to say the least.

"Lucky you...Hey George, I feel bad about leaving the others." Confession her guilt Lena tugged on George's hand.
"Can't say I feel bad, I don't work well others, you thinking of heading back and leaving me out here in the bush on my lonesome?"

"Come on George, back we go I can't leave Harley along for too long, Mr J wouldn't thank me if she died on my watch." Tugging harder on his hand, Lena managed to get the hulking man to follow her.
"Alright then Darl, I would hate for that brother of yours to think I was kidnapping ya." Like many men Digger wasn't able to resist the younger woman's charms.
"Ain't I the one that's technically kidnapping you, I mean I did leave first." With a wink, Lena carried on leading the way back to where the rest of the Suicide Squad would probably be.
"Come on Skippy, I hear the wild calling." Letting go of the Captain's hand, Lena broke into a run.
"She did not just call me fucking Skippy." Harkness grimaced before jogging to catch up with his fellow squad member.

"Well if ain't my little Birdie and the town drunk." Harley cackled as she pulled Lena into a hug before nudging Harkness with a bony elbow.

"And what were you two doing exactly? Actually don't tell me, I don't wanna know you some freaky ass people." Deadshot visibly cringed as Rick came up squeezing his sister's shoulder before turning around and back to leading the group to their final destination. The task force were now uncomfortable close to the earlier described 'swirling ring of trash in the sky. A hand pulled back the ever eager Harley Quinn back behind the crumbling building they crouched behind.

"Harley, sit your ass down." Deadshot grumbled out as he pulled the crazy ex-psychiatrist to the flow beside him and awaited the instruction of their esteemed leader.

"We need to get a closer look." Flag barked obviously frustrated.
"That I can help with." Pulling out an impressive technological boomerang which had at least three concealed cameras attached to it or so Digger Harkness claimed.

"We don't have time for that." The frustration still evident in the Colonel's voice.

"Nah mate." With a deft throw, Harkness pulled out a battered cell phone which showed a crystal clear image of what was the 'Swirling ring of trash.'
"Lower." Flag demanded as Captain Boomerang scrolled on the screen revealing several of the humanoids they had seen and fought earlier. As well as a very statuesque looking man before the image cut out causing Harkness to throw the burner phone down with force in anger making it shatter into several pieces.

"We gotta take the big one down." The elaborate plan beginning to form in the Colonel's mind.

"I left a big ass demo charge down in that subway, there's a flooded tunnel, leads right under that building. SEAL's can recover the charge, swim in underneath that things feet. We get in that things face and distract the hell out of that Son of a bitch, so the swimmers can blow the bomb. That's how we take it out." Flag's monologue had bored half of Task Force X with only Deadshot paying attention to the long winded plan.

" If I don't die, I'm gonna take a real long nap." Yawning Lena rested her against Croc's leather jacket inhaling the odd aroma mumbling as she rubbed at her tired eyes.
"Hey, Georgie, you got any more beer, I need a pick me up."
"Jeez Darl, You're clearin' me out." Pulling out one of his few remaining beers, Digger tossed it to the awaiting blonde who caught the can with ease.

The group found themselves wandering the streets of Midway City once again following the older Flag sibling as he led the way to the subway.
"This looks like a scene from one of them zombie movies right?" Lena thought out loud.
"Ain't them things basically Zombies?" Harley chimed in on Lena's musing as she absently mindedly twirled her revolver between her fingers. The SEAL's rushed towards the entrance of the Subway carrying heavy oxygen tanks which seemed to appear out of nowhere as the Suicide Squad glanced over in interest.

Lena's interest piqued as she watched Waylon stalk over to the SEAL's as the wrestled themselves into their gear.
"I'm going with ya." Croc began shedding his clothing.
"We got this." The SEAL made an excuse or at least tried too."

"I'm not asking bro" Jones continued ridding himself of his clothes revealing his ripped physique underneath.

"I live underground, Y'all just tourists." Lena smiled at the sad truth of her friends life as he was forced to live his life in the sewers. Hearing the water splash she guessed that Killer Croc had disappeared into the depths of the murky deep.

Everyone around Lena checked their weapons with Rick, Harley and Deadshot reloading their guns as well as checking the sights. Meanwhile Digger sharpened up his numerous boomerangs, Lena sighed heavily attempting to prepare herself for the impending battle. Betty draped over the crook of her arm as she inspected the tips of the nails embedded into her baseball bat picking out the bits of brains and various other body parts. Lena followed Harkness' glance away from the group and to Katana who crouched by the entry way speaking rapidly in Japanese to her sword.

"The man who killed her husband used that sword, his soul's trapped into of it, she talks to him." The older Flag relayed the information to the group, himself not being able to comprehend the loss that Katana must feel.
"Hey, well you know what they say about the crazy ones." Captain Boomerang replied, a coolness in his tone.

"I'm not that crazy." Kissing him gently on the cheek before Lena whispered in his ear gently biting on it.

"Huh?" Harley perked up at the mention of being crazy, Deadshot shooting her a small smiled as she did, shortly joined by the other exchanging smiles between themselves.

"Let's do this." Rick pushed himself off the wall where he had been leaning before heading deeper into the subway, filing out one after the other with Lena bring up the rear. As they ventured further and further every member of the team had at least one hand within easy reach of a deadly weapon or two. They moved along cautiously as they all observed the black rock like masses that jutted out at random, odd angles. Growing bored as she often did Lena slipped into Deadshot's mind observing the conversation between him and Diablo discussing the fire daemons inclusion into the oncoming battle.

It was then that they got their first look at Enchantress.
