When the Enchantress formally joined the Suicide Squad, she had been "convinced" to accept two conditions: First, she had to wear a special necklace around her neck regardless of whether she or June was in control. The necklace itself had clearly been fashioned by an experienced practitioner, since it blocked the Enchantress from using more than a fraction of her full power. Second, she would have to remain in character as Dr. Moone unless there was some need for her to reveal herself. Otherwise, she would stay locked within her mortal shell.
Then, things changed. The Squad was betrayed, and June was left to die with her teammates. Perhaps that made it the best time for the Enchantress to propose something even more radical than a spirit shift; in short, she would physically merge with June's mind and body. This would permit June to use her magic without having to transform. But it would also mean that the Enchantress could take control without her consent at any time. Putting aside her reservations, June agreed to the plan.
Letting the power flow through her veins, June had put her acting skills to work crafting a terrifying nightmare for Amanda Waller, the one who had plotted to stab her in the back. When it was over, Waller was gone, having been absorbed into the all-consuming dark realm that the Enchantress hailed from. And June, having tasted just a small bit of sorcery, was hooked.
As the Squad went into private contracting, both June and the Enchantress had found they had a knack for such work. June taught herself how to conjure small illusions to disguise her skin, hair, and voice, while the Enchantress practiced using her spells to interrogate hard-lipped prisoners, remotely disable security systems, and shape-shift into the forms of humans and animals alike. Over the course of several months, the two helped destroy an entire pier's worth of illegal arms, break up an international hacking collective, take down a supposedly untouchable crime lord by tricking him into believing he was about to die of an incurable disease, and even pose as deceased model Carrie Linchton for five weeks while the others used her "survival" as leverage for money and supplies.
Yes, there had been many, many adventures. But something about this one was different. And it all started when June had entered the lab in the form of a black cat.
At first, things went well. Though it was difficult to adjust to the cat's unique eyes, she could see that the facility was not quite as abandoned as it appeared.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her. Without speaking, the strange occupant put a collar around her neck and tossed her in the nearest cage.
Normally, the Enchantress would have no problem using her powers to subdue the attacker. But then the collar started beeping. June could feel her human intelligence slipping away, replaced by the pure instinct of a normal cat. Before she could reverse the transformation, it was too late.
The next thing she remembered was Maelstrom removing the accursed collar. With her mind restored, June passed control to the Enchantress and let her feed on his soul for energy. Within seconds, he had fainted and she was holding him in her arms.
What a day.
