Hello Readers! I am back and posting another chapter!
There is a lot of same lines as there are in the movie in this chapter especially in the beginning because I'm finally moving into doing the movie now. So I wanted to get the introductions out of the way and the ball rolling so I just basically used the scene of Amanda Waller talking about the Squad as my opening scene. I would really like for you guys to let me know PLEASE if you want Charlie in this story at all. And PLEASE PLEASE can you start reviewing? I have no idea how many of you guys actually like this story or if you want it to go any particular way.
Disclaimer NOT MINE! (Thought I should put this in especially since I'm using dialogue from the movie!)
There was a woman and a man sitting at a table in a restaurant, the woman dropped a book on the table. "There are rumors Amanda that some of them have abilities." The man said.
"The rumors would be true. The problem with metahumans is the human part. We got lucky with Superman, he shared our values. But what's to say that the next Superman does. What would be stopping the next metahuman from destroying us all?" The woman, Amanda Waller, asked very casually.
"You're playing with fire." The man told her.
"I'm fighting fire with fire!"
"You're not going to pitch us that Task Force X again, are you?" The man asked with a roll of his eyes.
"Yes but this time you're going to listen." She opened the book to the first page, there was a picture and information about a man on there. "Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot. Assassin for hire, human arsenal, lethal from over 4,000 meters, and weapons expert. He's the most wanted hit man in the world. He was almost impossible to catch, but everyone has a weakness. And a weakness can be leveraged. His weakness was an eleven year old girl, his daughter. So we watched her and waited for opportunity to strike. And strike it did. So now we have the man that never misses."
"Where did you put him?" The man asked.
"Let's just say we put him in a hole and threw away the hole." The woman answered smugly.
The woman turned to the next page, showing a blonde woman and a brunette woman, with their information. "Harley Quinn and Baby. Before Harley ran off and joined the circus she was known as Dr. Harleen Quinzel. A psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. She was assigned to the clown himself. And while she thought she was curing him she was falling in love with him. Talk about a workplace romance gone wrong." Amanda chuckled. "The other is a powerful metahuman called Baby. Before she got pulled into crime, she was a simple girl known as Bella Swan. Never stepped a foot out of line took care of her mother, her father is a sheriff of a small town in Washington where she spent three years before she graduated and came to Gotham where she immediately met The Joker and Harley. Now Bella doesn't mess around with crime as much as the other two but she is just as crazy as they are. We think they keep her around for her abilities as she's not anything like them. Ignore the crazy and you would almost think she was a sweet naive little girl. Her abilities are beyond amazing. She is telekinetic and can project her thoughts into others minds. She has a small ability to see the future, it used to be bigger but she was tortured with electricity and it developed into psychometry. She can pick up any object or touch another person and discover things about them, history, pick up on their abilities, their future and she can even track people depending on how strong the connection is. Don't let her sweet personality deceive you, she can be just as ruthless as the other two. Together they all became the King and Queens of Gotham, and God help anyone who disrespected the Queens. They're more fearless them him. The Bat got the girls. He wanted to put Bella in a mental hospital but their both in the same hole as Deadshot."
She took a bite of her food and continued her monologue. "And then there's the Aussie, Digger Harkness. Or as the tabloids call him Captain Boomerang." Everyone rolled their eyes at that. He robbed every bank in Australasia at least once then he came to America for a fresh target set. He doesn't work well with others. But he tangled with a metahuman. And have you heard of the pyrokinetic homeboy?"
"How did you catch him?" The man asked incredulously.
"We didn't he surrendered. Chato Santana. El Diablo that's what they call him on the streets. This gangbanger thought he was king of the world until he lost his queen. Gets jumped in a prison riot and incinerates half of the yard, the security footage is incredible.
She turns to a new page. "Holy Jesus what the hell is that?" The man exclaims, looking at the creature pictured.
"His name is Waylon Jones. Evolution took a step backwards with this one. They call him Killer Croc. He looked like a monster, so they treated him like a monster so he became a monster.
"I saved the best for last. A witch."
"A witch?" The man said skeptically.
"I'm talking about a flying, spell casting, making shit disappear witch. A sorceress from another dimension. Another world. Archaeologist doctor June Moone. She wandered into the wrong cave and opened something she shouldn't have, releasing a metahuman more powerful that any we've encountered. The Enchantress. She inhabits Dr. Moone's body now."
"Where is this witch?"
"In my pocket." Amanda answered.
"Now how can you control her?"
"Some say the witch has a secret buried heart and whoever finds it can control the witch. So we searched the cave where she turned up and we found her heart." Amanda directed the attention to the case that she brought with her and disarmed it with her finger prints.
The man looked confused. "That thing is her heart?"
"She's vulnerable without it."
The man looked skeptical, "So you want to put our national security in the hands of witches, gangbangers and crocodiles. Oh and the Joker's girlfriends? These are villains Amanda. What makes you think you can control them?
"Because getting people to act against their own self-interests for the national security of the U.S. Is what I do for a living. You take the finest special forces officer this nation has ever produced. Colonel Rick Flag. I assigned him to watch Dr. Moone and just as I hoped it got personal. I have the witch's heart and Dr. Moone has his. Now he'll follow my orders as Holy Writ. In a world of flying men and monster's this is the only way to protect our county.
Bella found herself in a cage in the middle of the room swinging from a swing that she made from the sheets. She hasn't seen Harley or Mr J in a long time, so much time has passed since that she didn't even know what month it was. All she knew was these walls. The last time she saw Harley, guards were tearing them apart. Bella screaming for Harley. If she had to be away from The Joker she at least wanted to be with Harley, but they just ignored her and dragged Harley off to who knows where. Now Bella was locked in this room in this cage with nothing. There was nothing in the room because these people knew about her abilities there was no way for her to escape. So she distracted herself with anything available. She built a swing for herself everyday even though she wasn't supposed too. It gave her something to do and it caused the guards to come into her cell. Some human contact was always good.
Bella was currently in her swing, swinging merrily back and forth giggling away. She was cold, wearing only a shirt and panties, but knew better then to ask for anything. Despite being cold she was having a good time distracting herself by swinging.
The doors opened and a bunch of men came in. "Boss is on deck!" One of the men called.
That meant that the head guard Griggs was coming. He always wanted to see her. Always torturing her in different ways but she always welcomed interactions. "If she moves, fire her up!" Then he looked up at Bella. "You gonna come down from there or what? Look at you!" He smiled and licked his lips. "You know the rules, beautiful. You gotta keep off the bars."
Bella tilted her head to the side. "What these bars?"
"Yes those bars." Bella just giggled and kicked her legs. "You are in really bad shape upstairs, lady!"
Bella jumped off her swing and walked towards the bars. "Come in here and tell me that. I'm bored. Play with me! We can swing together." Bella said innocently.
"You put some of my guards in the hospital. No one is going to play with you!"
Bella frowned in confusion. "Well that's not my fault! They were touching me! All I wanted to do was play! No one is allowed to touch me! Not you, not them, no one!" Bella was yelling at this point, gripping the bars in anger.
"Hit her!"
The bars sent out a shock of electricity, shooting her backwards and knocking her out once her head hit the floor. "That's a whole lot of crazy in a pretty little package." Griggs said.
The next time someone came to visit Bella she was back in her swing, giggling and trying to distract herself. The door opened and in walked Griggs and two people she hadn't seen before. A tall handsome man and a dark, slightly scary looking woman. Bella kicked her feet and looked at them with her head tilted to the side, hair cascading long down her body. "I've never seen you before." She said.
"Alright sweetness get off the bars what did I tell you." Griggs ordered.
Bella just kept swinging. "Why should I?"
Flag in the background shifted and muttered to Waller, "Should she even be here?" He looked uncomfortable at her situation. Hardly dressed, no access to anything just a cage in the middle of a room. He read her file, he knew what she had done and what she was capable of doing but she wasn't involved with a lot of crime. She had never even killed anyone and here was was being treated like a rat getting sent out to probably die, for loving the wrong people. Waller just gave him a look.
"Let her out." He ordered.
Griggs looked back at him. "Do you even know what she can do?"
Flag crossed his arms. "That's what I'm here to find out."
Griggs shifted uncomfortably. Bella looked at them in curiosity. Was she getting out? She didn't think so. The man she hadn't met before said he wanted to see what she could do. So maybe they needed her for something. She would do it if they let her be with Harley and Mr J. She missed them so much, she would do anything to be with them again.
Bella jumped off her swing and went to go wait by the doors of her cage. "What do you want?" She asked softly.
"I want to see what you can do." Flag answered curtly reminding himself that this girl was a criminal.
Griggs shifted. "If she kills me, I want you to kill her." Griggs ordered one of the guards. "Kill her then go clear my browser history." Bella almost rolled her eyes, she had never killed anyone and she certainly wasn't going to start with Griggs of all people. However, a little revenge for all the torture and touching wouldn't be amiss.
He opened the door and Bella immediately sprung into action. She had Griggs pinned to the floor with her hands around his throat in a matter of seconds. Guards shouted but the two people stopped them from coming in, that's when Bella knew for sure that they needed her for something. She started squeezing his throat. "Don't do this." He gasped out. Bella just giggled. "Remember who let you keep the swing? That was me." Bella just squeezed tighter remembering all that he had done to her. Laughing and crying at the same time, watching his face turn redder and redder.
Flag watched the scene in front of him in discomfort. Watching this girl choking a man, he should want to pull her off but he knew that Griggs deserved it. He could see the pain she was in.
"That's right. Do it! Why should you let him live? Why would we let you out and not restrain you right away!" Waller called out from beside him. Flag looked at her like she was crazy. What the hell was wrong with that lady? Did she want to make killers?
Bella looked over at the lady calling out encouragements to her. Telling her to kill this man. Wanting to make a killer out of her. Why? Was this what they wanted from her? She wasn't a killer! Bella shook her head and looked back down at Griggs, who was now turning purple. She looked back over at the woman. "Shut up!" She yelled and sent her flying. Flag looked in surprise as Waller went flying and back to the girl who did it. HE couldn't help the little smirk that crossed his face.
Bella finally let go of Griggs throat and punched him across the face. "That's for touching me! I told you no one touches me except my Mr J and Harley!" She punched him again. "Don't touch me!"
Griggs managed to get an arm free and he knocked her out. "Get her strapped in the chair!" He shouted before turning to look at Waller and Flag. "Hope that was enough for you?"
Waller was dusting herself off. "Yes it seems the rumors of her abilities are true."
Flag just stared at Griggs hard, making the man shift uncomfortably. "Yes well take her away. Be careful. You can't trust what she says. Crazy in the head."
Flag shook his head in disgust at the man, wishing that Bella had actually killed him. "Come on Flag we have others to see." Flag shook his head and followed her out of the room.
When Bella came too she was strapped in a chair and was being wheeled outside. She seen there was a lot of military personnel around. Most of them were scurrying back and forth but some of them were surrounding something. Then Bella heard something she hadn't heard in what felt like forever. "I'm known to be quite vexing, I'm just forewarning you."
Bella's eyes filled with tears. "Harley!" She screamed.
Harley was looking around in interest, secure in the knowledge that Puddin' was coming to get her and together they would find Baby and everything would be perfect again. Once the men called Captain Boomerang and Slipknot, the man who could climb anything, joined them, she looked at Flag who was explaining about what they were injected with. "Listen up! In your neck's you got a nanite explosive. It's the size of a rice grain but it's powerful as a hand grenade. You disobey me, you die. You try to escape, you die. You otherwise irritate or vex me, and guess what? You die."
Harley raised her hand and giggled. "I'm known to be quite vexing. I'm just forewarning you."
Flag opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a scream of "Harley!"
Harley's jaw dropped in surprise and her eyes bugged out of her head as she spun to look for Baby. That was her voice she heard. There she was! Strapped into a wheelchair. She pushed men out of her way ignoring the yelling coming from behind her, warning her that she was going to die. She just ran to her Baby. "Baby!" Harley got out when she got in front of her.
"Harley! I missed you." Baby cried.
Harley collapsed in front of her and ripped at her bindings trying to get them off. Wanting nothing more than to have her Baby in her arms again. Also knowing that Baby hated being tied down after she was taken all those years ago. She couldn't break the straps tying Baby, she felt more and more panicked the longer Baby was strapped. Especially hearing her cries. "I can't get her out! Help!"
Flag thought he was going to have to already blow Harley's head off. She just took off out of nowhere but it quickly became clear that she was heading straight to Bella, who was still strapped in the chair and looked to be crying. Flag and the rest of Task Force X followed behind. All of them yelling for Harley to stop, until they all stopped at the scene in front of them. Bella crying in the chair and Harley panicking because she couldn't get her out. "I can't get her out! Help!"
Flag stepped up and put a hand on Harley's shoulder. She reacted almost immediately, almost attacking him before she saw who it was. "I'll get her out." Harley nodded and sat back on her heels, waiting.
Bella watched as Flag cut the straps on the chair and as soon as she was free, she sank to the ground and into Harley's waiting arms. Bella tucked her head into Harley's neck and cried into her. "I never thought I would see you again. All I want is you and Mr J. They took me away. I didn't have anyone! Harley I didn't know what to do! I was all alone!"
Baby just kept crying and Harley tried her best to soothe her. "Shh, it's okay. I'm here now Pumpkin. I'm not going anywhere." Harley started to rock Baby and was petting her hair. For the first time in what seemed like forever Harley had her Baby back in her arms and felt the smallest bit of peace.
Seriously please review I always want to know what my readers think and it there is something they like to see happen or if something is horribly confusing to them. Because I usually type this up send it through a very and I mean very basic editing and then put it up so while it might make sense to me it might not to someone else so let me know.
Until next time...
