GUSTOSO, CENTRAL CITY
Amanda Wallers can never enjoy a premium steak without work documents piled up on her table and an official criticizing her decisions. Her favorite restaurant is reserved for her meeting scheduled for 8-9 pm every day.
She always orders the same main. Appetizer, Desserts, and only the guest differ every day. President of United States joined her today. His security intel is guarding the parameter.
"It will be rude to say, but you are paying for the dinner so are we sure here that you are ordering nothing?" Waller asks. She takes a sip of finest red wine this restaurant has.
"I made a promise with my daughter. I will join her for the Christmas party."
"Strange. You are fixated on your schedule while you completely ruined my plans."
"Husband."
"Families. Families of deceased agents. It is a two hours drive. I won't make it there on time."
"Sorry Amanda."
"Don't be. Now about your proposal. Releasing Suicide Squad to eliminate a single murderer is a really dumb idea."
"I want Task Force X to arrest Nightwing who is suspected in the murder of Batman. Let us not give them the role of judge, jury, and executioners."
"Who are you kidding to Mr. President? We all know that public had given their opinion. This trial is just a facade."
"What about your facade? When the people find about what Task Force X program really is then you will be at the center of public outcry. I am just providing you with the opportunity to actually win public acceptance for your Suicide Squad."
Waller takes the last bite of the steak and wipes her mouth with a tissue paper. "When shall we start?"
ARGUS, Starling City
Amanda parks her car. Lyla Diggles joins her inside the Headquarters. Amanda signs few documents and enters her office. She takes out a file labelled "Task Force X". She starts flipping the pages. The documents list the villains available for missions.
"How was the meeting with the President?"
"Just like all the meetings."
"Not very good, huh?"
"Call the Squad in, They are going to Japan."
"What for?"
"To hunt a fugitive. Members will be Deadshot, Boomerang, Cold, Heatwave, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Huntress and Killer Frost. I want them ready and moved in 30 minutes."
"40 minutes, ma'am." Amanda turns her head and gazes with mean eyes.. "Deadshot has a visitor."
"So you are taking her custody, Ms. Sister- in law?" Floyd asks.
"Don't call me that."
"Come on Susan, she was my wife. I am feeling bad about her death."
"I know you do Floyd. No matter how tough you act from outside. Now listen carefully. Amanda called me. She said that if you joined this mission, authorities will let you meet Zoe under supervision."
"You want me to decline the offer?"
"How do you-"
"In my line of business, you learn few parlor tricks."
"Whatever-" Susan shoots her head. "We both know that your influence will only ruin her future. And a person such as you can try, but will never change..."
"Times up."
The security guards call in and take the convict away. "Floyd! Floyd! Promise me! Floyd?"
"I promise to take her away from you. Without using any bullet this time." Floyd replies without turning back. What scared Susan, was a means for Deadshot to keep himself together.
Japan (in SHOUNEN JUMP OLD PRINTING HOUSE)
Nightwing feels the weight of the gun on his head. "Ssshhh. One wrong move and you will die." Nightwing turns his head a little and sees Deadshot behind him with an AK-47.
"We played right into your hands, didn't we?"
"Exactly. Now move an inch and the bullet will burst through your skull."
"I don't have any personal grudge. I am doing this for reward and damn I am totally winning over you."
"How?"
"Argus have eyes everywhere. Killer Frost is tracking down the hacker. In no time she will be in our custody."
"I am stupid. I should have listened." Nightwing stands up. "Red!" He shouts. "It is a trap!" The bullet sound then filled the room and Barbara startles.
Barbara sits on driving seat and turns the key, but the car is not starting. She gets out. The engines are frozen. "Looks like the little princess can walk again." Barbara turns her head. Harley Quinn and Killer Frost are standing and waiting. "Want me to break them again?"
"You wish."
Red-Hood knocks Reiter down before the latter can shoot him. "Nightwing, you alright?" A boomerang is thrown just near his right foot.
"Don't think I will give any second to worry about your homie, mate." Captain Boomerang near him. He is now wearing a whole black attire and metal boomerangs. "My hands are itching for some action." he throws the first punch, then second and third followed by a kick to the knees. "You dodge well. Let's try this with the boomerang."
"Very bad accent there. Worse than Jai Courtney's acting." Captain throws the boomerang, Red-Hood uses the gun to deflect it, but a blast slams him on the old machines.
"Did I said Boomerangs. I will correct it for Boomerang."
Nightwing right shoulder is shot. "You made me miss your vital point. Nice, but you can't use that arm anymore."
"Why are you here?" Nightwing tries to control the pain.
"To arrest you. You know, I never thought you out of all the people will kill the Batman. We all tried so hard, but still, you killed him. Imagine the expression on his face."
"I did not murder him."
"We all say that in court. You will need more than that to convince them."
Nightwing pushes his whole body against Deadshot and both of them fall from the ceiling. Deadshot did not want this for himself. He wants a wonderful life with his daughter. He can't die. Not now. He projects a grappling hook, but it does not attach to the structure. Suddenly they are saved in the lamest way possible, a tower slide of ice is formed below them
"You can't do a thing without me," Cold says.
"Let's burn something," Heatwave shouts shooting his heat gun in the open air.
"Great now we got the Prison Break duo." Nightwing jokes.
Oracles' new leg aids are working like magic. She is faster and stronger. "Come on stay still, I want to hit you and present your head to Mr. J." Harley Quinn is missing all her swings,
"That is just disgusting. Caitlin stops her."
"Sorry, but orders are orders." Killer Frost throws ice spikes on her. Backflip, side, side, and duck. The size of the spike is increasing and so is the speed.
"Hey! That can seriously hurt someone."
"No this will hurt." Harley Quin jumps and swings her bat with all her mighty strength. Oracle performs a back spin kick and breaks the bat into two halves. "You broke Harley's toy."
"How can you degrade so much? I mean you are looking like the worst cosplay version of yourself."
Harley's face turns red in anger. "That's it"
"Back off Harley."
Killer Frost eyes emit a white light and she launches snowy gusts from a gesture of her palm. Oracle legs can't even twitch. She punches the ice over her legs, but the gusts blast her out in the middle of the road.
"Shit."
Harley Quinns tower over her. She is holding a metal rod with her, "Time for MAKEOVER." She swings the rod and smashes it on Barbara's face.
Captain is juggling the boomerangs in different directions. There are no safe zones in this deadly sphere. Red-Hood keeps missing his shots.
"If you can't move then how will you defeat me?" Captain throws a boomerang directly aimed at him. Red-Hood tries to deflect but the gun is out of bullets. He then charges and catches the boomerang.
"League of Assassins."
"ARGUS."
The boomerang explodes. Jason's hand is hurting and bleeding. "You piece of shit."
"Just doing my job."
Captain Boomerang looks away. Cold and Heatwave corners Nightwing. Deadshot is shooting near his legs to limit his movements.
"Do not burn this place down, Heatwave. Lower your range."
"This serious routine don't suit you. Better stick to Will Smith." Heatwave replies. He is an unstoppable dragon whose love for flame is dangerous than his muscular scary face.
"Cold! Hit his wounds."
"Got it." Cold jumps in and fires a cold beam at his shoulders. Nightwing screams in pain and curses him.
"You always ruin my fun."
"Your fun is killing me." Cold replies.
"Heatwave, burn his shoulders." Deadshot orders. Heatwave sinister grin scares the heck out of Captain Boomerang, who throws a charged Bomberang on Red-Hood. The series of the blast are like ripples which knock the hero unconscious.
"One to go!" Captain Boomerang shouts at his allies who is ganging up on Nightwing.
"Nightwing turns his head. Red Hood is lying on the floor. His wounds are severe. He is burned badly.
"I overdid it." Captain Boomerang laughs at his face, "Killer Frost called in. They have Oracle." He shows a picture of Barbara who is frozen in a crucified position. "We caught some big fishes."
This distracted Nightwing, who was then shot in the shoulder by Heatwave's heat-gun. The flames stings. He finally falls. He is sweating. The swelling on his shoulder is worse than before.
"I am freezing him."
"Let's just burn him and we will be public heroes," Heatwave says smelling the lighter in his pocket.
"I wish it was that simple," Deadshot says. "Let's wait here until ARGUS sends backup." He walks outside.
Killer Frost and Harley Quinn brings Oracle to the Factory where the latter keeps asking if she can make Oracle her doll or not. Everyone are discussing, what they are going to do with the rewards. Killer Frost breaks the ice and use sedatives to keep Nightwing unconscious and gives him first aid.
"You caught them," Reiter says to him. "Now I can deal without ARGUS interruption. That was the agreement."
"Yeah about that-" Floyd shoots Reiter on the head. "We sort of need this junk." Reiter's body disintegrates into ashes. "Insane,"
"Finally some blood," Heatwave says as he grabs a bottle of beer from the icebox.
"I respect and hate the guy. He can kill, and still have the luxury to meet his family." Boomerang scowls.
Floyd was gifted a necklace, his wife wore. He received it from Amanda as an advance before he took off for Japan, he opens the necklace and cries. He remembers the photo. His last picnic with the family.
"I am going to Vegas," Boomerang shouts.
"My sister is studying in college. Fees are due." Cold says. "Also I have to kill her boyfriend Ramon,"
"Touch him and you will die." Killer Frost threatens him.
"Can I have the whole collection?"
"NO!" Everyone shouts at her.
"Come on. We are the bad guys. It is what we do?"
A helicopter lands on the premise. Agents pop out and move the unconscious renegades inside the vehicle. They are just inching away from death. Villains are handcuffed. Caitlin wears an anti meta-human handcuff.
"I know who is the favorite here," Harley whispers into Heatwave's ear. They climb aboard, where Walter is standing to congratulate them.
"I thought ARGUS ship will be huge." Captain Boomerang asks.
"Sorry to disappoint you. It is just to escort you to ARGUS Jet. This chopper is borrowed from Japanese Government."
Amanda walks away, leaving Boomerang with an embarrassed expression. "A deal is a deal. All of you will be provided with the requested privileges."
Heatwave, Harley Quinn, and Boomerangcheers in excitement, but Deadshot while happy is confused about the whole situation. Deadshot never realized this whole time, that Amanda called Susan to manipulate him into taking this job.
" 彼は私たちが得た最速です "(He is the fastest we got) Old man says.
"どうしろって言うんですか?" (What do you want from me?) The young pilot asks.
"ARGUSについて聞いたことがある" (Ever heard of ARGUS?) A customer asks wearing a black military attire.
"はい" (Hai; Yes)
"Anata ga watashi no fune kara yūjin o kyūjo suru tedasuke o shite iru to itte mimashou." (Let's just say that you are helping me to rescue some friends from their ship.)
"なぜ私は助けてくれると思いますか?"(Why do you think I will help?)
"Well for starters I eliminated an entire branch of Chinese triad."
