Wow two chapters posted within a week, weird I know. Now that this story is complete I'm just so excited for you guys to read it. Happy Reading!
Scars Don't Have to Mean More
"Come on Scar you can cozy up right next to me." Harley said to me when she sat down in the helicarrier and patted the seat next to her. I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement, her excitement for us possibly being led to our deaths.
"Alright Harls but no funny business." I sat beside her and felt her wrap her hands around my arm and give it a quick squeeze. She rested her head against my bicep and pressed a quick kiss there.
"Oh I wouldn't dream of it bunny."
We took off and made our way over the city, hitting a few rough patches of turbulence along the way. I looked out of the window to see burning buildings and smoke rising into the sky. What in the hell are they bringing us into?
"Jesus, what the fuck is actually going on here Flag?" I turned to look at him and he gave me a blank face in return.
"None of your business Korin, now sit back down!" There was a big jolt making the aircraft shake so I did just that and buckled back in. I'm sitting because I could die, not because he told me to.
"Correct me if I'm wrong Flag but you made this our business when you brought us in, now what's actually going on?" I asked once I sat back down, he was getting visibly angry now.
"And I'll say it again, none of your damn business!" The whole aircraft was silent, except for Harley who let out a soft giggle.
I looked over at her and smiled but she couldn't see it, a small light appeared in her hand and I saw that she had a phone in her lap. How does she have a phone? Wait, why does she have a phone? I ended up being nosy and saw that she had a message that she was looking at as well. I knew from my quick glance that it was from Joker, simply going based on the little face near the message box.
I'M COMING FOR YOU BE READY
Anger that I thought was gone suddenly resurfaced. Anger for what happened to me and anger at Harley being around the psychopath. I shouldn't even be angry at her for being with him but I am.
She knows what he did to you Leta, she's seen every inch of it, she just doesn't care.
"Don't worry bunny he'll get you out too, I'm not leaving without ya." I would rather walk on nails and glass then see that bastard again, let alone get help from him.
"That's sweet Harley but I can find my own way out of my messes, I'll be fine." My voice was sickeningly sweet and drenched in bitter undertones.
"Aww don't be like that Scar…" Don't be like that? Don't fucking be like that? Like what Harley, like what?
"Harley…"
"Alright, alright, will ya at least accept my help?" She batted her eyes at me as though it would make a difference.
I shook my head no, "not if it's connected to him I won't."
"Jeez fine." She turned away from me to glance around the plane, off in her own little world.
"Oi I don't know much about reptiles but he shouldn't be that green should he?" I heard Boomerang ask from farther down the plane. He was gesturing towards Croc who did look really pale, or more like light green on him. I blinked and the next thing I knew he was throwing up on the floor of the plane, and it smelled exactly how you would expect a man who eats nothing but raw meat to smell like.
"Jesus scaley not cool!" Harley said while holding her nose, I had to look away and not breathe through my nose or I was liable to throw up as well. I couldn't blame Croc though, it seems like he's pretty used to being content on the ground.
We continued to fly over the city and Harley was getting bored so she decided to have a look out the window.
"Oooo shiny. Scar, Scar come look at the pretty lights." She tapped my shoulder and I stood up from my seat to turn around and look at what she was seeing. There were clouds in the sky but there was one insane swirl that looked like an inverted tornado. It was as if lightning was going off inside of the cloud, it was freaky.
"That's not natural Harley." I told her before turning to sit back in my chair, I looked over at Deadshot who took a glance out the window as well, before turning to look at Flag.
"What happened?" If Flag felt anything he sure didn't show it.
"Usual terrorist bullshit. Like I told Korin, that's all you need to know." How does not telling the people that are dealing with a situation what the situation is, a good idea?
"Yeah I gotcha, ya know I would believe you if you weren't such a bad liar." Now that made Flag look angry.
"Scar I gotta feelin' this is gonna be real fun." Harley said when she was done looking out of the window. We're all gonna die.
"It's not gonna be fun Harley, I need you to be serious. I don't want you getting killed out there." Why is it that Diablo and Deadshot are the only serious ones of the bunch, hell even the Slipknot dude is serious, he hasn't said much but he seems pretty serious to me.
"Awww you really do care bunny." Maybe...I'll never admit it though.
Suddenly I could feel the plane getting shot at, I could hear the clanging of bullets as they ricocheted off of the aircraft. Then we started to spin and my head slammed into the wall from the force. Now I really might be sick. If I die from a plane crash I'm gonna be really fucking pissed off. I felt Harley grab onto my hand, she was screaming beside me, with the occasional laugh thrown in. She squeezed when we hit the ground but we continued to roll.
Finally it stopped and I could breathe again. I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt so that I could get the fuck off of this machine.
"God I think I popped my shoulder out of place." I said while rolling everything and checking over the areas that hurt. Harley walked up right behind me and rubbed the tender area.
"Nah ya didn't but that was one hell of a ride wasn't it?"
"This place looked like it got hit first by the apocalypse." The streets were barren, signs for a mandatory evacuation flashing everywhere. Founder's Island looked like absolute shit. Everything was surrounded by smoke and random fires. What are really up against?
Flag told us to move out and we started moving in towards the city along with the squadron. I kept a steady pace keeping up with the boys up front until I noticed Boomerang and Slipknot talking to each other, the first looked like he was up to no good. I am not dying because of his stupidity. I slowed down to match his pace when he left Slipknot alone.
"Don't be an idiot Boomerang."
He laughed at me, "yeah and don't be a killjoy, ninja turtle...ya never did say, what's up with the scars? Oh wait nevermind don't tell me cuz your name is Scar, I get it now." Wow you are so fucking smart.
"Oh yeah you hit the nail right on the head, I gave myself scars to match by name, I really am just that fucking clever...fucking dumbass." I walked away from him, let him get himself killed see if I fucking care.
We turned a corner at an upcoming street when the commotion broke out, first Boomerang started a fight with one of the soldiers before Slipknot tried to escape by grappling up to the top of a nearby building. I looked over at Flag to see him press something on his arm. Then I looked back at Slipknot to see a small explosion happen at his head, he fell, slamming against the glass of the building window causing it to crack. Boomerang did this shit to see what would happen.
"I'm fairly certain that should be illegal." Deadshot said from the front of the group.
"Yeah but ya gotta admit that it's a pretty killer app." Harley replied, laughing at her own joke.
"Jesus Harley…" I said before turning to look at Boomerang, I drew out my katana and the men around me drew their guns and pointed them at me while I advanced. Boomerang saw me coming and backed away into the wall behind him before I pressed my blade against his throat. He was scared and quite possibly turned on. "If you try that shit again I will not hesitate to kill you, cuz guess what, if we fuck up this mission that's gonna be all of our heads right there. Got it?"
"God that's so hot." He mumbled under his breath. Fucking idiot.
"Can we get a move on Flag?" I heard Deadshot ask when he was done laughing.
"That was really hot bunny." Harley said when I moved away from Boomerang.
"Stop Harley."
Flag started to walk around looking at each of us with annoyance. "Anyone wanna try that shit again? You? How about you Deadshot, you next?"
"You threatening me Flag?" Oh now Floyd is pissed, not good, for Flag at least.
"You bet your ass I am." I'd like to see you be this fucking confident if we didn't have these bombs in our neck, fucking prick.
"Hey Scar you single?" Boomerang asked over my shoulder before getting punched and falling to the ground. I turned back around and went to walk beside Deadshot and Harley.
"I'm gonna fucking kill him," I grumbled under my breath.
"Good you kill him, I kill Flag." I wouldn't expect him to be so stupid.
"Well ya better do it fast, otherwise it's gonna be one after the other." Harley said, no Harls don't fucking push him on it.
"Don't be fucking stupid! Do you really think that he's the only one that has control over this shit in our necks? Anything happens to him we all die. So don't be a fucking idiot." I said before walking ahead. I didn't get to hear the conversation between Harley and Deadshot after I left them.
We kept a decent pace, constantly on the lookout when I heard a growl from behind me. I turned to see Croc throw Boomerang into the wall beside him, it made me smile.
"Alright you're officially my favorite person here." I told him this and he just growled.
"Hey that hurts Scar!" Harley said while gesturing to herself as if to say 'look at all this.'
"Yeah well at least he's not trying to get us all killed, knock it off and you might move up the ranks." Jesus Scar since when did you become mom?
"What the hell could have done that?" I asked when we passed by a car that looked like it got hit by Superman's laser vision...ya know if it was evil and gooey.
"I don't know but it's exciting isn't it?" Harley asked, jumping into step beside me. Something is really fucking off here.
"I'm gonna need you to redefine your definition of exciting Harls." She just laughed and gave me a smile.
I looked ahead to see Flag hold out his fist, the universal sign for stop. He talked to someone on his walkie before turning to address us.
"On my way...move out." Half of Flags men moved to another location while the rest of them went with him to check out some disturbance. I stayed back with everyone else who had bombs in their necks.
"I'm starting to think that the odds just may be in our favor." Boomerang said beside me. Are they still on about this? Did the man's neck exploding not put them off their idea in the slightest?
"Go ahead keep on not listening to me, I'm gonna go up there and protect Flag's ass while the rest of you get your heads blown off, have fun." I went around the car to go to the rest of the group.
"God, the things I wanna do to that girl." Ewww, yeah just let me lower my standards and I'll be right with ya. I heard him grunt and I turned around to see Harley hit him in the stomach with the end of her bat. Awww good girl.
"Back off you aussie fuck." I could kiss her for that.
"Stay here for a sec guys, something doesn't feel right." I heard Deadshot say to them before falling into step beside me.
"Finally decided to actually listen huh Deadshot?" I asked him but he scoffed.
"Shut up."
We reached the rest of the soldiers who had taken position behind a few cars and were looking out at a couple people in the street, only they didn't exactly like people.
"What the hell are they Flag?" Floyd asked while looking at the people, he had a special scope built into his mask that could zoom in on them, I wish I had something that high tech.
"Try and run and you die, keep that in mind." Yeah we heard you the first twenty times Flag.
"Fuck you Flag I wanna know too, what the hell are they?"
Suddenly the creatures looked at us and started to charge at us. I quickly pulled out my katana and took my stance, ready to fight.
"Engage!"
These things were fast and agile, but so was I. Every bit of training kicked in as my blade sliced through their numbers.
You've missed this Leta, haven't you?
I couldn't help but hear his voice in times like these, when the League's training would shine through. There were a lot of them, too many to be normal in a terrorist situation, and they weren't normal. Yeah I'm starting to think that this isn't a terrorist situation anymore.
My pistol came out as well and while my aim was nowhere near the same level as Floyd's it was still pretty decent. It was odd, these creatures, they didn't bleed, they just turned to ash. They were relentless, it's like they didn't feel pain or anything. They could even climb on the fucking walls for crying out loud.
"Get off me!" I heard Flag yell from behind me. The creatures were trying to carry him off, why weren't they attacking him.
"Flag!" One of his men cried out and started to shoot at the things dragging him away.
"Well that takes care of that huh?" Harley said from my left.
"Harls he dies so do we, now fucking help him!" I ran to him along with her and sliced down a few while she got the others with her. Flag tried to say thanks but I just told him to fuck off.
Everything started to calm down when Floyd got to a higher position and took down the majority of the creatures. It was over, and I looked over to see Harley beating up a corpse that was dissolving with every hit.
"Jesus Harls he's fucking dead I promise."
"Well I swear I saw it move."
I think we are way in over our heads here.
Well, what did ya think?
