Well here we are, second to last chapter so close to the big finale...are you excited, I know I am. I'm also sorry that the chapters are so short but I think the quality is good. I'm excited to hear what you guys think, HAPPY READING!
Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork...Bullshit
"You know what you have to do Leta...kill them. You've come so far my dear, complete your training, take your place by my side. You and I will restore order to this diseased world, all you have to do is strike."
"What did they do?" I don't want to do this, don't make me do this. It's not right, none of this is right, it's never been right.
"Does that matter Leta?" Yes! Yes of course it matters, how can you ask that?
"They're just children Ra's. They haven't done anything." Everything has changed now.
"Are you refusing to do what must be done Leta? Are you ignoring your duties to the League?" No, no, yes I can't do it anymore, I won't!
"Yes."
"How unfortunate...for you...kill her."
"I'm pregnant!" Everything stopped.
"Leave us!"
"Harley watch out!" She ducked as I swung my sword, it missed her head by an inch, but the creature's head was cut off.
She laughed and went to fix her hair, "thanks for that bunny." I just nodded but then another one crashed in through the glass window. I let Harley deal with this one, the elevator was way too small but she made it work beautifully. Wow I'm a sucker for a powerful woman I guess. She flipped and spinned and walked on fucking walls, it was definitely a sight.
After she took a final swing at the creature it dropped to ground, it's head crumbled under the force. She looked over at me and gave me a wink before closing the space between us. I thought she was gonna kiss me but she just gave me a peck on the forehead and pulled my mask over the bottom half of my face. Her fucking lipstick better be smudge proof.
The elevator doors opened and there stood everyone, geared up and ready for a fight with whatever was waiting on the other side.
"Hey guys fancy meeting you here." She really is too cute for her own good, but also very ridiculous, insanely ridiculous.
We walked out of the elevator and waited on word from Flag as to where we needed to go. He told us to continue to make our way up to the higher floors. We reached an office floor when Flag got an incoming communication.
"Hold your positions!" That caused us all to stop, I could faintly hear rustling come from the ceiling and walls around us.
"Flag I've got a bad feeling about this." Floyd said from beside me. These things have to have been following us for them to know where we are. What the fuck are they and where are they coming from? More importantly who are they after?
"Yeah you and me both Deadshot." I looked over at him to see him putting on his white mask from earlier. The one that's been absent from his outfit until now.
"Pussy." Where the fuck did that come from Harley?
"I will knock you the fuck out I do not care that you are a girl." That made me briefly think about who would win in a fight between the two of them. Probably Floyd, Harley's fast but even she isn't faster than bullets, maybe if it was close combat it would be an evenly matched fight, but even then probably not.
"I can't take you anywhere, can I Harls?" She smiled at me before slowly chomping at the air next to me, I can only assume it meant she wanted to take a bit out of me instead.
"You know you love me." I wouldn't go that far, yet, wait...no, never I would never go that far.
Then plaster from the ceiling began to rain down on us and a horde of the creatures dropped down and smashed through the weak walls. I was too close to one of the walls that caved in and felt myself being thrown into a nearby metal desk. Everything was so fuzzy and I'm sure that I blacked out for a second. I could faintly hear my name being shouted by Harley and Floyd before someone was gently slapping my face. You should have been quicker Scar, how could you let this happen?
"Come on princess, get up and fight like the rest of us." Fuck you Boomerang.
He helped bring me to my feet when I heard Floyd yell from the other side of the room, 'they're after Flag again!" I looked over to see Flag being dragged away by his feet. Is he wearing something that makes these creatures go ballistic or something?
We all made our way over to him, mowing down anything in our path. I could feel something running down the back of my head and I reached up to see that it was blood. It's not too bad I can deal with it later. I picked up Flag and put him behind me while everyone else came to join so that we could keep him safe. It sounds really sweet when put that way but truly he's just a pain in the ass.
"Jesus what kind of fucking soldier are you? What makes you so fucking special?" I asked while swiping at the blood that ran down my neck.
"Let me fight!" He whined, trying to shoot from over our shoulders but we had it under control.
"Not a chance, anything happens to you we lose our heads!" Floyd shot down the last creature and it was silent again except for all of our mutual heavy breathing.
"Move out!" He almost gets captured twice and yet somehow he's still the leader, how does this fucking work?
We made our way outside to a connecting walkway when shots started to come from every direction.
"Fall back Harley!" I yelled at her while I tackled her back inside. What the actual fuck is going on now?
"Hey Scar?"
"Yeah?"
"You're hurt…" She said while reaching up to touch the back of my head.
"I know it's okay, it's not that bad." I've had worse, much worse.
She grabbed my face and pulled my mask down before bringing her lips to mine in a punishing kiss. It was needy and desperate and alerted me that something was wrong with her.
"What's wrong Harls?"
"Well I'm starting to get scared that we might not make it out of here and I just wanted to do that in case I didn't get the chance to again." She didn't look scared, but then again she's one that laughs through the pain, quite literally.
"Duly noted, but we're gonna be fine Harls..." The room lit up and I saw flames engulfing the creatures that were just shooting at us a moment ago.
Harley and I walked out to see Diablo destroying everything in front of him as fire shot out of his hands. Then like a snap it just stopped, there weren't anymore flames except for the ones that he had created and the ones burning the creatures, he looked back at us like he was expecting something.
"Damn hot stuff who you knew ya had it in ya?" I could see him give a small smile before we had to move out again.
We had to of course take the stairs because the elevators in this building didn't want to work. I was walking behind Harley and I know damn well that she was purposely moving her hips in a way that was driving me crazy. She started to slow her pace down and I matched mine to hers.
"Shit, I gotta work on my cardio." What you didn't have time for when you were stuck in prison?
"You can work on it when we get done, let's go. Harley? Harley…" I had walked in front of her but turned back around when she didn't respond. She was looking over the railing to the flights below, she was very far away, almost like she was hypnotized. I slowly made my way to her and tapped her shoulder to grab her attention.
She quickly snapped out of it and pulled out her gun before pointing it at me. I grabbed the barrel and pointed it upwards,"woah Harls, it's just me…"
"Have you ever been in love Scar?" She knows it's me but I don't think she knows where she's at just yet.
"No...I thought I was at one point, I wasn't. I don't think I could ever be vulnerable enough to love someone. Not after everything I've been through." Things that weren't said, Ra's ruined me, I ruined myself, love has been ruined since my childhood, love is too manipulative in my life.
"So I guess it doesn't do anyone any good to tell you that they love you then huh?" If that's you telling me that you love me, first off, why? Secondly, now is just not the time.
"Harley…"
She cut me off and holstered her gun again, "no just forget it...let's just get this guy and get the fuck out."
I couldn't agree more as I trailed behind her on the rest of the way up.
"So who do you think the mystery guy is?"
"I've got an idea, I just don't think that they'd be stupid enough to stay here with everything going on."
I sat down for a quick breather when I saw Deadshot go into the room behind Flag unnoticed. It was a few minutes before the door opened again and out walked Waller, well my guess was right on the nose, maybe she is that stupid.
"No fucking way." Harley said while walking over to Flag.
"Any regular person would be running scared shitless with this many people wanting them dead." I said to Waller when I joined the gaggle.
"I'm not a regular person, now let's get home, now" No, not a regular person, just a heartless bitch who murdered my dog and stuck a bomb in my neck.
"Yeah you're absolutely right, let's go home, you guys wanna go back home or go back to prison?" Boomerang said beside me, he must really be a fucking dumbass to think that threatening this woman is gonna work in his favor.
"No way in hell am I going back to prison," Harley chimed in
"Great so we're all agreed, let's kill the pair of them and walk out of here." Now hold on, as much as I would like to be in agreement I'm not.
"Don't be stupid everyone," I addressed everyone in the room, including Flag cuz he's been pretty stupid lately.
"You should listen to her, I'm proud of you all for making it this far, let's not lose our heads." Waller said as she held up the phone that could easily kill us all.
"I told you all that Flag wasn't the only one with the control." They all gave me a look that said 'shut up and quit being right.'
Then Croc decided to chime in with a loud "I like her."
"Oh buddy you just dropped down to the bottom of the friendship list."
Soooooo what did ya think? I hope ya liked it, please let me know what you thought about it and I will see you guys next time for the final chapter.
