Got this idea due to mentioning Eliot Spencer having had a 'Rick Flag' type of role at ARGUS in my Leverage/Arrow crossover.
The Suicide Squad here is not a specific version or anything. It consists of the Arrowverse versions of Deathstroke, Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Bronze Tiger and Deadshot, and the DCEU versions of Bloodsport, Peacemaker, King Shark, Harley Quinn.
The Amanda Waller here is the DCEU version, but with Arrowverse Lyla Michaels.
For Leverage this is between Seasons 2 and 3, and the plot of this is inspired by Young Justice 1x4.
Thanks a lot to Brainstorm Sorcerer for his help on this one-shot, and also to Stand with Ward and Queen for a suggestion.
Enjoy.
ARGUS Base
Eliot Spencer walked with Lyla Michaels across the halls as she said to him. "Thank you for coming. I know this is on short notice, but its just a huge mess."
"Its no issue. Owed you a favor after all", Eliot reminded Lyla, who nodded before opening a door, stepping aside, allowing Eliot to walk in.
The first thing he heard was- "Puddin'!"
Eliot froze, looking around at the room, as he saw Harley Quinn running at him and then leaping towards him happily. Instinctively, Eliot caught her, while looking at the rest of the room, seeing the faces of the others who were there.
Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot waved sarcastically, Nanaue aka King Shark let out a grunt, Robert DuBois aka Bloodsport did a "Long time, mate", while Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke simply gave a nod, Digger Harkness aka Captain Boomerang adjusted his trenchcoat with a smirk, Christopher Smith aka Peacemaker smiled and saluted, Ben Turner aka Bronze Tiger simply tilted his head while looking at him, and Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold charged up his Cold Gun while commenting. "So you're the guy, thought you'd be taller."
"Oh hell no!" Eliot dropped the clown lady in his arms, making her yelp, before marching down the hall.
"Should have seen this coming", Lyla muttered.
Eliot walked forwards, one agent trying to stop him, only for Eliot to grab his hand and twist, making him gasp, before Eliot elbowed him down. Two more charged him with taser rods but Eliot grabbed one's hand, making him tase the other out, then spun and elbowed his face, knocking him out as well while snatching the taser from him.
As he walked further, one more tried to pull out his gun but Eliot slid on the ground on his knees while holding the taser to his front, managing to touch the agent and tase him out as well.
He threw the taser down, marching to the last one, who was scared as he tried to pull out a small taser, only for Eliot to grab his hand, then punch him so hard he broke through the door, falling right at the feet of Amanda Waller.
The others agents aimed their guns at Eliot, but the hitter and the bitch only had their eyes on each other.
"Eliot, you're looking well, for a declawed puppy dog."
"Waller, and here I was hoping you were still crushed under that house in Munchkinland."
"Good to know you maintained that juvenile wit."
"And how pleasant it is to know you're not hunting down and skinning puppies for a fur coat. At least, not today."
"I've been busy."
"Doubt that, you can't scratch your ass without threatening someone to do it for you. Would have thought your sociopathic ass would be stuck in that chair by this point. What's your secret? Bulimia?"
"God, I forgot how annoying you could be."
"Isn't it risky for you to use His name?"
"Eliot", Eliot turned to see Lyla walking next to him. "I know this is hard-"
"Hard is an understatement."
"But please, don't do it for her. Do it for me. You are the only one who can lead a Squad this big, and the mission, it's a very important one."
Eliot looked at Lyla intensely. "Are you sure about this?"
"I am."
Eliot looked at her for a few more seconds, then sighed, turning back to Waller. "What is it?"
Waller gestured to her agents, who lowered their weapons, while she gestured to a screen. "Santa Prisca. I take it you know the island."
"Yes, I know about it, get to the point!" Eliot said, making Waller roll her eyes.
"It is reported that Bane started a factory here, trying to make a more powerful version of Venom", Waller revealed, the shock and horror on Eliot's face making it clear what he thought about that. "Satellite, thermal imaging, nothing has worked."
"And you want us to go there and stop the production of the new Venom", Eliot realized, Waller nodding.
"Do what you have to, but this new Venom cannot be allowed mass-production, or we might get a situation worse than The Siege of Starling City."
A while later, Eliot and the Squad were getting ready, as Lawton asked Eliot. "So, you came back, eh? Never thought you would."
"Only for one mission, and its because Lyla asked", Eliot simply said in reply.
"Any particular reason?" Peacemaker asked while loading his gun and putting on his helmet.
"I owe her a favor", Eliot said, but didn't elaborate.
Harley put her hands around Eliot from behind while whining. "If she's stealing my puddin', that's not going to-"
Eliot pushed her off of him. "Hey!"
"She's a gem, isn't she?" Leonard asked with a smirk, aiming his Cold Gun ahead.
"Captain Cold, didn't think you'd be anyone's lackey", Eliot had to say to him.
"And I won't be, even with the bomb she has here in my head", Leonard pointed at his head, before sighing. "But she got one into my sister as well. If I don't work for her, she dies."
Eliot growled, knowing this was exactly something Waller would do to get people to work for her.
"You're Eliot Spencer, huh? Heard a lot about you", Ben said with folded arms. "You're one of the greatest hitters on the planet."
"Yeah, you don't be part of any military or espionage service without hearing of Eliot Spencer", Digger said as he threw a boomerang into the air before catching it on return.
"Gee, nice to have a fanclub", Eliot said, before Lyla walked in with Waller.
She regarded the whole squad coolly, before Eliot commented. "Got to say, Amanda, you've aged."
"I see you've made yourself comfortable, good, this will end faster than I hoped."
"Care to sit? I'm sure you'd like to take all that weight off your cloven hooves."
"Calling me the Devil? How flattering, I didn't know you thought so highly of me."
"Actually, I was calling you a goat...you goat."
Harley burst out into loud laughter, as did Peacemaker, while Leonard, Lawton, Turner and Digger chuckled as well. King Shark tilted his head in amusement, and DuBois had an amused smile. Slade was wearing his mask but from his eye, it was obvious his expression was similar to DuBois.
Lyla had to cover her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.
Waller simply glared at Eliot, who did not back down, before she pressed a button, a screen activating. "That is Santa Prisca. Like I said, we have been unable to get anything from our satellites or thermal scanners. When you go in, you'll be blind, you will be losing contact with us."
"As long as I don't get to hear you", Eliot scoffed, getting similar reactions from the Squad as last time.
"Good luck for the mission", Waller said in a voice that lacked all sincerity.
"Good luck for the mission", Eliot mocked her tone and posture, causing Harley and Chris to laugh loudly again.
Lyla shook her head in amusement, as Eliot looked at her. "Well, time for us to go, with these people."
"You'll handle it", Lyla assured Eliot as he nodded, before looking at the rest.
"Why was he picked out to lead us?" Snart asked Lyla out of curiosity regarding Eliot.
"Because he is ridiculously good at what he does", Lyla shrugged, while Eliot looked at the Squad.
"Its time now, let's move!"
Night time
The group was flying towards the island, close to it, as Eliot said. "Drop zone approaching."
Their jet was invisible due to their tech. Soon enough, they were above the forest. Standing up, Eliot pressed a button to allow the jet to hover in midair. He was wearing black tactical gear all over now, but he had no weapons on him.
"Figured you'd bring a weapon with you", DuBois noted.
"Not needed", Eliot said with a smirk while they all put cables around themselves. "Let's go."
All of them jumped down, the cables helping them land softly on their feet. Seeing a giant shadow underneath them, they quickly jumped away as King Shark then landed, forming a small crater.
"No line needed", King Shark growled.
"You creating a seismic event isn't helping with the 'covert' part of our mission", DuBois said with a groan.
"All right, we'll be two teams", Eliot said, gesturing to himself, Slade, Snart, Turner and DuBois. "We'll take the front." Eliot pointed at a cliff nearby. "You lot take that. Stay in touch. If we find anything, we let the other team know, and rendezvous ASAP."
"Roger that", Peacemaker gave a salute.
"Oh come on!" Harley groaned, looking at Eliot. "Puddin', you and I need to-"
"Listen to the leader, Harley", Peacemaker said, him and Lawton dragging her away. "He is a great man. It'd be best if we follow what he says."
"See ya later", Lawton said with a smirk, with King Shark and Captain Boomerang following him and Chris as they dragged Harley away.
"She seems to have the hots for you, even if you're cold", Snart quipped, making Eliot sigh as the group of five moved forwards.
"So, not going to tell about the favor to Lyla, are you?" DuBois inquired.
"She helped me get the dirt on Waller I need to make myself stay as far away from her as possible", Eliot revealed. "Of course, as you can see, not working out currently."
"How does the perpetrator behind Starling City's siege end up here?" Snart asked, turning to look at Slade.
"I could ask the same thing about Captain Cold", Slade pointed out, before answering anyway. "Don't have much of a choice. Waller is threatening my ex-wife."
"Sounds like her", Eliot growled, looking Slade in the eye. And he could tell, Slade was just like him. They had done horrible things, and were trying to make up for those now.
Then, Slade heard something.
"Any of you hear that?" He asked.
"Not me", Snart shook his head.
"I did", Turner said, sharing a look with Eliot and DuBois, who'd heard it too.
"You could use the thermal scanner on your suit", Peacemaker's voice came to Eliot over the comms.
"Good idea", Eliot agreed, wearing a helmet and activating it, seeing some figures moving forth. "Got a squad of armed bozos." Looking to the other side, he saw another squad. "Two squads."
"Let's not engage", Turner said, as they heard sounds of firing.
"Sounds like a good call", DuBois nodded, when Snart slipped on a corner of the slope, rolling down towards the gunfire.
"Snart!" Eliot cried out.
Snart rolled, falling near the spot where Bane himself was taking cover behind a tree. Seeing him, Bane growled as Snart drawled. "Seems we don't have stealth on our side now." Smirking at Bane, he said. "Captain Cold, pleasure to meet you, you must be Bane."
Bane growled again and opened fire on Snart who rolled away to avoid, firing back with his Cold Gun, freezing some bullets before he stood up, the other squad firing at him too, though he used his Cold Gun to freeze the bullets in midair again.
Suddenly, Slade leapt down at Bane, punching him back before attempting to punch again, only for Bane to grasp his arm and flip him down, pinning him there. Slade kneed his gut, making Bane let go, and then punched him away, making Bane roll into the forest.
As two more men made to fire at Snart, Eliot suddenly leapt between them, elbowed one away before giving an uppercut to the other one, and then spin-kicking him away.
One tried to turn to him, only for Turner to jump down, sweeping his feet from under him before driving his claws into his chest.
DuBois shot down two more in seconds. Some more aimed their guns when gunshots rang out from somewhere, all of them falling down dead swiftly.
From his vantage point on the cliff, Lawton smirked while aiming his sniper. "Bang!"
A while later, everyone who was still alive had been tied up to trees, with the Squad together again as Eliot looked at the uniforms of one group. "I recognize the uniforms. This is the Kobra Kult."
"And it seems them and Bane's goons have no love lost for each other", Snart drawled.
"I can help you get into my factory via a secret entrance", Bane offered.
"And why exactly should we trust you?" Slade asked, taking his helmet off. "You are a mercenary who wants what's best for himself."
"So are all of you", Bane shot back.
"And that's why we ask- Why trust you?" Lawton inquired.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend", Bane pointed out. "Besides, there's one of me and a lot more of you. Including that." Bane gestured to King Shark, who simply growled.
"Don't call him 'that' again", Eliot told Bane in a growl.
"Thank you, friend", King Shark said to Eliot gratefully in his usual tone.
"We don't trust you, you do anything funny, you go down", Eliot said in a growl.
"I'd expect nothing less from Eliot Spencer", Bane smirked.
A while later, the group was on a cliff, Bane handing binoculars to Eliot, who used them to look down at the Kobra Kult manufacturing the drug and moving it around. "Looks like someone is gonna buy this. Not sure who the buyer is though."
"We will have to take down all of them", Peacemaker noted, while Bane walked towards a boulder covering something.
"Answers are here", he said, King Shark walking ahead and removing it easily, revealing a secret tunnel entrance.
Bane walked in, the others following him, King Shark at the back, having to duck down to adjust himself due to his size.
"Oooh, dark and scary", Harley muttered.
Soon enough, they reached a door, and Bane pressed a button, opening it, the group now seeing a room full of crates and pipes.
Eliot and Lawton peeked ahead, before the latter said. "All clear."
The group entered inside, looking around. Eliot turned to Slade and Chris. "Can you two find wherever they have the computers here? Can have some info."
"Makes sense", Slade said, moving ahead. "Come on Chris."
"Its Peacemaker!" Peacemaker replied, agitated, but followed Slade anyway.
"I don't care", Slade shrugged.
"That man is basically 'douchebag Captain America'", Snart mocked Peacemaker's suit.
One Kult member was typing on the computer when a punch by Slade from behind knocked him out, and he sat at the computers, Peacemaker standing near him while Slade looked through files.
The others hid behind large crates, watching the Kult moving around some others, while Kobra stood with a giant creature near him, Digger commenting. "That is a large shipment."
"And who is that weirdo?" Harley pointed at a man with glasses.
"That's Mark Desmond, former head of CADMUS Labs' Washington DC branch, which was under ARGUS", Eliot recognized him. "Thought he'd gone down."
"Well clearly not", DuBois said. "Who's the buyer I wonder?"
"A helicopter", Lawton gestured to the sky, and they all saw it too.
Slade was typing on the computer, Chris behind him, as Slade noted the representation of the Venom. "So this is Venom-" he typed more and a representation of Blockbuster popped up. "And Blockbuster, and-" he continued typing and, to his horror, a representation of the Mirakuru popped up. "Mirakuru." As he continued typing, the three drugs seemed to combine perfectly, and Slade noted. "The combination of these three grants someone strength higher than I or Bane have with our Mirakuru or Venom."
But how did Kult Kobra have Blockbuster and Mirakuru? The former was produced by CADMUS Labs before their illegal experiments had been discovered, and Waller had been forced by the government to shut that part of ARGUS down. While the Mirakuru too had been acquired by ARGUS, because they'd taken away the seemingly dead Cyrus Gold when Oliver had taken him out.
His one eye widened as he realized what was going on. "Waller is behind this. She had Bane work on the formula, until Kult Kobra kicked him out. Waller sent us here to clean up her mess."
He made to tell the rest on the comms, only to realize they were jammed.
"And it will be cleaned up."
Slade felt a gun to his head, Peacemaker saying. "Sorry Slade, I like you, but this can't get out. We need peace."
"Peacemaker", Slade scoffed. "What a joke!"
"Like I said, anything for peace", Chris made to pull the trigger.
Outside, the helicopter landed, and out of it walked a man in a grey mask, a woman in a cat mask and a man with flames for hair on his head.
"Ain't those Sportsmaster and Cheshire?" Lawton recognized them.
"Who is the hot guy though?" Harley wondered.
"Doesn't matter, have to take them all down", Snart said as Sportsmaster, Cheshire and the flaming guy made their way to Kobra and started speaking.
"Think about this Chris", Slade warned Peacemaker.
"I have, and its Peacemaker", Chris said, preparing to pull the trigger.
"Very well."
There was suddenly a whirl of movement, too fast for Chris to make out, and next moment, his gun had been cut in half.
"Huh?" Chris threw the other half away, Slade now standing in front of him, flourishing his sword.
"There is a reason I survived all these years even without the Mirakuru", Slade snarled before kicking Chris back.
Chris fell down, before rolling away when Slade brought his sword down on him, making Slade hit the ground. Getting up, Chris charged with a roar, grabbing Slade and slamming him into the wall, then grabbed him by the face and slammed his head into the wall twice, before Slade kneed his gut, making him double down, and Slade grabbed him by the head, before hurling him away.
Outside, the group watched as Sportsmaster took a vial from Kobra, Eliot tapping his comms. "Slade, Chris, do you copy?"
He heard static and growled. "Can't reach them."
"I have an idea", Bane smirked, getting up, and leapt away, landing amongst the Kult members. He easily punched two of them away, the rest sharing looks.
"He was pretending to not have his venom anymore so we'd think him harmless", Eliot realized, all of them rising when Mammoth leapt near them, roaring as well.
King Shark roared back in challenge and charged, punching him on the face before Mammoth punched back, the two of them struggling against each other.
As the other Kult members made to fire, DuBois procured his shield, blocking their attacks before firing his flamethrower, burning a few of them as they screamed.
Digger spun and hurled two boomerangs that swung in a wide arc, slicing two lines of Kult members, then returned to him.
The flaming guy tried to fire as Snart rolled in his way, firing the Cold Gun, the beams clashing against each other.
"Not burning anything today, pal", Snart drawled, when his beam was overpowered, causing him to roll away to dodge, while a crate nearby was blasted.
Cheshire tried to slice Harley, who leapt into the air with a flip. "Whoo! You can't touch me." She landed, only to be spin kicked on the face, being sent down. "Okay, guess you can."
Cheshire was about to stab down on her, only for Harley to fire a gun that shot out a boxing glove, hitting Cheshire's face and sending her back while Harley flipped up. "I can touch you too."
Bane hid in a corner, watching the fight, then laughing, rushed away.
Chris took out another gun, only for Slade to kick it out of his hands, as Chris grabbed Slade's throat, pushing him back. Slade grasped Chris' hand, struggling against him, grunting, before managing to free himself, and flipped Chris over his shoulder, sending him rolling away.
Then shots were fired in their direction as well, shattering the windows, making them duck and roll away, coming out. Peacemaker fired back at the men, getting some of them.
Sportsmaster hurled his javelin at Deathstroke, only for Slade to swing his sword, cutting it into two.
Digger took cover, when he turned to see two Kult members aiming at him, only for Eliot to appear behind them, as he grabbed one from behind and kicked the other away, while flipping the one he'd grabbed to the ground, before punching him out. The other tried to get up but Eliot kicked him out too.
More fired at them from above, when they were killed by a shot each, Eliot and Digger turning to see Lawton having acquired higher ground, from where he was firing at them.
Snart rolled away to avoid another blast from the fire guy, while Lawton noticed Kobra running to a helicopter. "Kobra's getting away."
"Not so fast", Snart said, aiming at the helicopter rotors and firing, managing to freeze all of them. A blast from the fire guy almost got him but Bloodsport jumped in the way, holding up his shield that took the brunt of the flames.
Chris fired at some more men, killing them, before turning and running off, which Slade noticed.
"Eliot!" He called out, causing Eliot to look to him. "Waller is behind Bane. She sent us to clean up her mess. Chris is working for her, he's her mole."
"Noted", Eliot growled, before running after Chris, while Bronze Tiger leapt down in front of Sportsmaster, his claws out.
Sportsmaster threw a discus that Turner flipped to avoid, before Sportmaster brandished another javelin to attack which Turner blocked with his claws.
Turner flipped to avoid the javelin before flip kicking the Sportmaster, making him stagger. He recovered and gave Turner an uppercut which sent him flying off.
As Turner tried to get up, Sportsmaster threw the javelin. Turner rolled away to avoid as the javelin embedded itself where Turner had been and exploded.
Turner grabbed Sportsmaster's hand as he swung his knife and disarmed him before punching his stomach. Sportsmaster pushed him off and brandished his hammer- a heavy metal ball attached to a cord and handle.
He swung it at Turner but he ducked. As he tried to bring it down on Turner, he sidestepped and it hit the ground, forming a dent. Turner then kicked him away, making him lose it.
Turner dodged another blow from Sportsmaster before elbowing his throat, making him stagger back in pain before grabbing his neck between his feet and flipping him to the floor. And then, Turner stabbed his lower back with his claws, making him gasp as he was taken out.
Chris was running, the data from the computer in his helmet, when Eliot leapt at him, both rolling away, Chris losing his helmet.
They got up, Chris grabbing Eliot by the throat. "I'm sorry. I like you, but I must do this."
He pushed Eliot back, then punched his face before kicking him down, then lifted him up before punching him away again.
Then he threw Eliot to the corner, and tried to attack but Eliot punched his gut, winding him. Chris tried to punch back as Eliot ducked to avoid, getting to his other side. He threw a kick but Chris grabbed his foot and hurled him into a room, where Eliot hit a table full of vials, throwing them all down, along with a syringe.
Mark Desmond jumped in fear as Chris marched in. Looking at them both, he jammed a syringe full of Blockbuster into himself. In front of their eyes, he grew larger and muscular, unable to speak as only grunts came out of his mouth.
Eliot looked down, seeing the syringe near him had Venom, though not a high dose.
Seeing Desmond growling while smashing the table, Eliot sighed. "Not again." Picking up the syringe, he plunged it into himself, grunting as he felt his strength increase, his muscles bulge slightly.
Desmond snarled in challenge, Eliot pulling the syringe out and throwing it away as he stood up. Slowly, the two marched towards each other, then started running, Eliot ducking to avoid Desmond's swing as he grasped him by the waist and lifting him up, slammed him down, before Desmond grasped his throat, hurling him away, back out.
Using the opportunity, Chris started sneaking away again.
Eliot groaned, calling out. "DuBois! Can you help with your BFG?"
"I can", DuBois rolled to avoid a shot of flames, while King Shark and Mammoth wrestled on the ground near him. "Will take a while to make it though."
"I've got you, not to worry", Lawton assured, shooting down five soldiers quickly, while Turner swept one's feet from under him before spin kicking another away.
"Yeah, make the gun and save our asses", Digger said, using his boomerang to slice one person's throat before throwing it. It circled the room, killing many thugs in a wide arc before returning to his hand.
Kobra turned to see Slade standing in front of him.
Snarling, Kobra threw a kick that Slade dodged, before trying to slice with his sword, though Kobra flipped to avoid before kicking Slade on the face, sending him back.
As he landed, Slade spun to elbow him, but he side-stepped to avoid, then tried to spin kick but Slade barely dodged.
"You do not stand a chance", Kobra ranted. "I am a God."
Slade swung his sword again as Kobra made to dodge, but a cut was made on the side of his abdomen.
"Gods don't bleed", Slade said, Kobra's eyes widening in horror before Slade kicked him back.
As Mammoth punched King Shark twice on the face, two gunshots hit its eyes, making it stagger back while the eyes were gone, though they would regenerate soon.
Lawton reloaded above while below, King Shark used the opportunity to punch Mammoth down, then started pounding upon him.
Eliot slid away to avoid Desmond's strike, then leapt and kicked his face, sending him back, before boxing him at various points on his body, avoiding every strike of his face, Desmond grunting in pain.
As Eliot tried to punch one more time, Desmond blocked before lifting him up and throwing him down. Before he could attack though, two gunshots hit his eyes as well, making him stagger back.
"Thanks Lawton", Eliot got up before spin kicking Desmond back, then leapt and grabbing him, kneed his gut, before kicking him back.
Snart raised his Cold Gun at the fire guy, but nothing happened, making him groan. "Had to jam right now."
The fire guy smirked, slowly raising his hand, only for Snart to smirk back, confusing him, when he pulled the trigger and beam shot out of the Cold Gun, hitting the fire guy, as Snart didn't stop till he was completely frozen.
He fell to the ground, Snart drawling. "You really fell for that, didn't you?"
Harley was sliced by Cheshire's talons and groaned, Cheshire smirking. Then, Harley laughed, confusing Cheshire.
"My ex gave me something that makes me immune to your poison", Harley said before grabbing Cheshire by the waist and slamming her down, then punched her face multiple times. "I mean, it didn't work out! But she was so much better than my first puddin', Mr. J! Ya know! I thought he was the best man ever, but he was just using me to hurt Batman! Why can't I find a nice person to be with, and why can't it last? And why does my new puddin' not want me?"
All the while she was ranting, Harley continued to punch Cheshire until she was knocked out. She turned to see Turner looking at her in amusement.
"What? She pissed me off by reminding me of my ex."
"Its done", DuBois lifted up his gun, and then fired at Mammoth. While Mammoth wasn't any close to dying, the bullets slowly weakened him, making him grunt and stagger back, allowing King Shark to lift it up and throw it onto the ground, before King Shark lifted up its head and slammed it down multiple times, managing to knock it out.
Taking the opportunity, DuBois spun and fired at Desmond from behind, causing him to growl and stagger, allowing Eliot to spin and elbow his throat, making him gasp, before giving him an uppercut that sent him flying into the air before falling down, knocked out.
Then, grunting, Eliot rushed forwards, as fast as he could, the Venom increasing his speed even as it wore off. Spotting the fleeing Peacemaker, Eliot leapt at him again, grabbing him as both rolled away, Chris on top and Eliot on the bottom, the Venom slowly fading.
Chris grabbed Eliot by the throat. "Like I said, I'm sorry."
Using the last of the Venom within him, Eliot punched Chris on the throat, making him gasp as he staggered back, grasping his throat in pain, while Eliot stood up and kicked his feet from underneath him, then punched his jaw hard, finally knocking him out.
Lawton looked around, spotting Bane about to get into another helicopter, the Venom tank now behind him, empowering him.
"Not so fast", Lawton smirked, pulling the trigger, as the tank exploded, Bane growling in pain as his body contorted, and then Digger appeared in front of him.
"You ain't getting away", Digger said, then kicked the weakened Bane out.
Slade avoided another strike from Kobra, slicing his arm, then kneed his gut, winding him, before getting behind him and grabbing his collar, hurling him down.
"Its over."
A while later, Kobra was restrained by Slade while the rest minus Chris who was still out looked at the leader, Eliot's arms folded.
"Let's kill him!" Harley said.
"No", Eliot shook his head. "He could have contacts, allies-"
"I am a God you dull creatures! And I will not be bullied by lowly criminals like you all! I-"
Eliot nodded off. "Okay, kill him."
Kobra's eyes widened for a second before a dozen different bullets hit him, Eliot raising a brow at nearly every squad member with their guns out and barrels smoking, and they shrugged.
"You said to kill him", Lawton reminded.
Eliot didn't question them, as King Shark suddenly gobbled Kobra's body, to the shock of the rest.
In a minute, they got over their shock as Harley asked. "How'd he taste?"
"Divine", Nanaue rubbed his stomach, causing some of them to laugh.
Eliot still had to say. "It's kinda funny, he kept calling himself A God, not THE God."
"Even lunatics must have a limit, mate", Digger shrugged.
"I wouldn't be so sure on that logic."
Eliot suddenly realized the comms were still down, meaning a signal jammer was up and close by. He thought for a second, then announced to the rest. "I have an idea."
A while later, the Squad was airlifted from the island.
Later, ARGUS Base
Waller watched as the jet landed, but when it opened up, to her shock, only Eliot walked out, a knocked-out Chris lying in the jet still.
Waller snarled. "Eliot, where are the o-"
She didn't get to finish the sentence, as Eliot punched her on the face, turning it the other way, then grabbing her by the collar, punched her face thrice again, drawing blood as she fell onto the ground, Eliot climbing over her and punching her even more.
"Eliot!" Lyla cried out as she arrived. "Stop! Please!"
Eliot continued punching Waller's face, and by now, she had a black eye.
"Eliot!" Lyla said in a begging tone, and he finally stopped, standing up and stepping back, while Waller held her face in pain, standing up and backing off from Eliot, the hitter pleased to see the fear in her eyes.
"What's going on?" Lyla asked.
"Slade found data on the laptop, and we later found some more files after it was done. Waller here hired Bane and Desmond to together make a new drug from Venom, Mirakuru and Blockbuster. Then the Kobra Kult arrived and Desmond joined them, kicking Bane out. Waller sent us there to clean up her mess, and the three buyers confessed they were sent by her too. Chris was her mole to destroy anything linking this back to her."
Lyla glared at Waller, arms folded, but Waller was unconcerned. "Where are the others?"
Eliot smirked. "Well..."
Leverage The Team soundtrack plays
A few hours ago
"Hardison, you hear me?" Eliot called out on the comms.
"Loud and clear", Hardison said from where he was, typing on his laptop.
"The jammer here is still disabling our connection to Waller, so this is our only window", Eliot told the hacker, looking at the rest of the Squad. "Disable the bombs in all their heads. And Leonard's sister too"
"I'll do that", Hardison smirked, looking forward to the challenge. "The Beast would still be getting the vitals after its done and be none the wiser. The Doctor is in the house!"
Now
Eliot smirked, seeing Waller's face, as she realized she was getting the vitals only because Hardison made it look like the bombs were still inside the Squad's heads, even though DuBois had taken all the bombs out using factory equipment after they'd been diffused, following up by blowing up the factory. Right now, he'd gone with Snart alongside King Shark (whom he was sticking close to, to keep an eye on him) to take the diffused bomb out of Lisa's head as well.
"Not to mention, what you did, it has already reached higher-ups", Eliot shrugged, and at that moment, armed soldiers appeared.
"Amanda Waller, you are under arrest for illegal experimentation, conspiracy and treason."
"This is outrageous!" Waller screamed as two soldiers grabbed her, leading her away. "Unhand me!"
The screaming Director was dragged away, as Lyla watched, commenting to Eliot. "Impressive."
"Hardison always is", Eliot shrugged, while looking at the downed Chris. "Now he will still go to prison, but a normal one."
"You sure we can trust the taskforce members you just let go?" Lyla inquired out of curiosity.
"Yeah", Eliot said, turning around. "Because now they owe me. All of them."
Lyla smirked, Eliot walking off, while she watched him.

All hail Eliot Spencer!
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with some other update.
