July 24, 1970 - Roy Harper Residence, Fairwood, Maryland, United States
"Here you go Miss Nguyen." First Sergeant Rick Flag Junior said to Jade as they parked outside of Roy's and Lian's home. Jade was scared. She hasn't seen her daughter since prison. After so much pain, close calls, and death, so was finally here. She survived a boatload of shit and now she has her reward. Jade exited the car and walked to the front door. She touched the surgical scar where the bomb was before it was removed at the end of her sentence. A nightmare over. When she reached the door, Jade took a breath and let it out. She press the doorbell and heard the bell. When the door opened, Jade smiled at Lian. The two hugged and Roy hugged them soon later. Jade let tears roll on her cheeks.
Flag watched as Cheshire hugged her family. When he was given the Task Force X assignment, he thought that he would be helping free murderous bastards. But now as he saw the assassin showing love. He wondered how she changed during her time in prison. He drove off to prepare for the next mission. He was out of the hell known of Vietnam and now in the hell of Black Ops with villains.

"Bane forces have taken half of the island from the Cubans. The Normandy's F-4s have laid siege on the communist forces." Waller reported to the new DOD liaison, Brigadier General Calvin Swanwick over a communication televised satellite. She read the Black General's file. Captain in Korea, Colonel early in Vietnam, and now general.
"What about this Task Force X?" Swanwick asked.
"We're planning out the landing for their next mission."
"Which is where?"
"Pokolistan."

September 2, 1970 - CancĂșn, Mexico
"Gracias." Slade Wilson thanked a server before he drank a cold beer. He looked at the beach as the waves crashed against the sand. His son was either dead or in A.R.G.U.S custody. If they were smart then they would avoid drafting him into Task Force X.
"Hola amigo." a man greeted as he sat next to Slade.
"Who's the target?"
"He calls himself Hades. A Soviet KGB agent currently suspected to be located in Brazil." the man answered sliding a file to Slade. "Happy hunting."
September 9, 1970 - Kent Family Farm, Smallville, Kansas, United States
Kara Kent was packing her bag for school when she heard a knock on the door. She used her X-Ray vision to see a black woman at the front door. Joel Kent opened the door and Kara used her superhearing to listen in on the conversation. "Hello ma'am. Are you lost?"
"I'm Director Amanda Waller of A.R.G.U.S. Is Kara Zor-El here?" the woman asked and Kara was surprised that someone tracked her here.
"I'm sorry, but there's no one here by that name." Joel remarked. A lie to protect her dad's cousin. Joel was the oldest child of Kal's kids as a result of a passionate night when they were dating.
"Mr. Kent. I'm not an idiot. I have the resources of the entire US government. I know how to track someone." Waller replied and Kara raced down the stairs.
"You wanted me." Kara said and Joel looked at her with annoyance.
"I read the file, the Santa Priscans had on you. I believe you could be of use to the United States government." Waller remarked.
"Sorry, but Kal already told me all about you and your A.R.G.U.S. The laws you broke, the lives you ruin, for what? Security?"
"Yes." Waller answered to Kara's surprise. "The Justice League Charter limits the League's reach to those who signed the treaty. Which most of those who didn't commit Genocide daily as well as plot to wipe out the free world." Waller added as she entered the old Kent house. "See the Justice League say that they defend freedom yet aren't able to do so. Which is where I come in. A.R.G.U.S does all it can to sabotage the Communists and Facisist states."
"So why are you here?"
"I need a liaison with the League and you fit perfectly." Waller answered handing Kara a card. The Kryptonian accepted the card and Waller left. "Think about it."
