A/N: Sorry it took a while to post another chapter. Not sure if I am going to continue this story or not or if I do how long I am going to make it. Just a bit of fun anyways. Hope everyone had good or is having good holidays.

Chapter 3

The bitch had lived. Not that I really thought she wouldn't. She had a way of slipping in and out of shit and still coming out smelling like fucking roses. Dying roses but still not the steaming pile of shit she should reek of.

Oh, how I am fucking tempted to end this shit right now as I stare at her passed out ass right in front of me. I smirk as I look at the bottle of vodka on the table beside the bed. Someone has a weakness. Not enough to exploit for shit, but funny nonetheless.

Sighing internally, I move silently to her secured room where all her files, computer equipment and others people skeletons are kept. I am phased out so she can't detect me visually. Neither can the cameras and motion detectors she has set up all through her apartment. Because of this I can also walk through to that hidden room as if it is just a curtain that needs to be parted. To me it looks like dangling atoms and molecules.

Once I am in I do have to phase myself in enough so that I can use my technomancy skills and rifle through her secure files. I work to suppress my anger and growl at some of the shit she has on people. She doesn't have me listed other than the 'ploy' failed and I was lost.

Blowing through the files I see that I am going to have to create an identity. With a sigh I set to work. It will take some time to leave all the small trails and hidden traces that will help to establish me.

Creating video surveillance, medical records, school records, shots; you name it I created it to establish my new identity.

Eris Masters came to life. My enhanced senses, tech proficiency, telekinesis and telepathy are all listed as part of my skills. All of that is leagues above what the current replacements her bosses are pushing for.

Once I have that done I put in traces of Diablo and build up sightings. He informed me the next morning there was no way I was going back alone. Our plan was to put it out there he had survived but that when that big son of bitch had died he had put off a burst of his own energy in an attempt to get away from Chato and the bomb. He didn't make it but it will have sent Diablo on his way. Disorientated and weak. We were arranging for him to be picked back up very soon.

With that work done and having taken a few hours, I folded space to go back home.

I was barely back to visible status before Chato was there, eyes narrowed and waiting.

"Did you do it?" His face is tight with displeasure of my choice but understanding my need for it.

I nodded. "It's done. Eris is now in the system and being set up as the top replacement. I also have it set for you to be picked up. Tomorrow we will both be in separate facilities, but I will have a connection to you make sure you are fine Chato. No arguments. You are only going back because you feel you need to watch out for me. Well, I need to make sure you are fine too."

He scowls slightly but then nods. "Then you need to get the tracker back in me and do that...energy then you do." He motioned with his hands saying that last part.

I smile as I chuckle. "I plan on it. Want to come this time?"

He shrugs slightly. "I don't care for the way you travel but if you are going to be on top of a mountain soaking up sun, then I guess it is safe enough for me to go."

I nod and prepare us to travel. Since my transformation I have found I need connection with elements as a sort of fuel for my body. Just as much as I need food I need sun, rain, wind, earth and fire. The fire part got interesting two days ago when Diablo was playing around and my body started siphoning off the flames he was putting out.

It was pretty freaky feeling and left both of us feeling more than a little bit awkward around each other for another day. It's not everyday a girl just goes and sucks the flames right out of your body.

The sun and rain are my favorites as they seem to energize me more and they don't look as creepy as the others. Especially now, because damn if that just didn't feel like some kind of sex act with Chato.

I take us to Mount Roraima in South America and materialize us some chairs and drinks. All as if we are lounging by a pool I plop down, put on my shades and sigh in satisfaction at the rays of sun that my body starts to absorb.

I can tell Chato is amused at my smile and joy at this. "You might want to take the time to enjoy this too Diablo. We are going to be in a shithole for a while as of tomorrow."

He gives a grunt of agreement and in a very rare moment of allowing himself some slack, he pops open a beer and sits back. I can hear his hum of pleasure at that small luxury he is finally allowing himself.

He enjoys his beer, the solitude and the ability to have someone around him without having to worry about roasting them. I enjoy the sun, my tea and the ability to be around someone that knows who I am.

Later that day - Belle Reve

Rick was in his office when I traveled invisibly to him. Before I appeared to him though, I reached out to check for other presences and to check on the others.

I would go to see each one if I could but I needed to let my brother know what was going on. After making sure the camera saw what Rick was doing just now and stayed on that image I allowed myself to connect to him mentally first.

'Don't flip out Bro, but baby sis is paying you a visit.'

I saw him sigh and look up then around with a scowl on his face. I materialized with a smile on my face. "Hello to you too Rick"

"You think I am going to be happy to see you here Ember? It's my goddamn worst nightmare, the thought of you anywhere near here." His scowl was still in place.

I shrug from the chair I sat in that was in front of his desk. "Well then it is about get really fucking bad for you as of tomorrow."

He growls. "What the fuck did you do Sis?"

I sigh and look at him seriously. "Did you really think you could keep me and everyone else safe? It doesn't work like that Rick. She doesn't work like that. The only way to make sure she doesn't get me or feeds you guys to the wolves is for all of us to be in this together. You need me here and I need to make sure you are ok."

"You still ain't telling me what you did Em." His eyebrow quirked into his hairline.

I looked over to his computer and started sending and pulling up the files that were already waiting for him. "Take a look. Those orders are already in and waiting for the OP's to be called tomorrow. We should be here on a redeye sometime after they bring us in."

I can read his relief at Diablo being alive, his fury at me involving myself in this but also his being torn at being able to have me near him again. "He's coming back?" He finally said after he went through everything.

I nodded sadly. "He wasn't letting me come here unless he was here to help. He is a bit protective of me." I smirk at how true that is.

Chato wanted family, atonement and vengeance for his family. His family is the task force in his eyes, but Rick and Katana aren't his jailers. To him they are part of it too.

He sighs and nods with thinned lips. "Eris?" He gets a confused look at the name. "Where the shit did that come from?"

I laugh and I can see his anger melt a bit to hear the sound again. "Greek goddess of discord and strife."

He gives a small chuckle and shakes his head "Well ain't that the fucking truth? Well at least you look nothing like you did before Em…..Eris. Fuck that is going to take some getting used to."

I frown in thought and then smile a bit wicked. I reach out and connect with his mind and implant the directive that anytime he goes to say my real name it will only come out as Eris and not Ember. "Problem taken care of. Try and say my given name not my Alias."

He scoffs at me. "Eris, I know your damn…." He stops and scowls. "Eris….Eris...Er. What the fuck?"

I shrug and smile. "Problem taken care of. You know my real name you just can't say it."

He shakes his head but smiles. "Fine. Anything else I should know?"

I shake my head and refrain from telling him I am going to visit all the others and at least do that same thing. "No,. I made sure the cameras didn't pick anything up here but I do need to get going. I'll see you tomorrow Rick."

Before I can go I see him chew his lip in thought. He stands up and comes around the desk to pull me in a hug. "Take care. I'll see you tomorrow. By the way, June said you went to see her. She said you think she'll be ok."

I sigh and paint a lie on my face. "She'll be fine." She will be fine, but she won't be the same. Enchantress did awaken the DNA that mutates human cells for more capabilities. I just don't know what those capabilities will be yet for her.

"Alright, get out of here then. I hate you coming to this shit hole but I can't stop you. I'll try and make it not so much of a cesspool for 'ya." He shrugs but we both know there isn't much he can do.

"You forget I can make changes if I need to, but I will be fine. See you soon Rick." I pull back and phase away from him.

I move quickly and check on the others. I hadn't officially seen or met KC but I still was aware of his presence and status. He was brooding as normal, but otherwise ok. I left him a bit of a treat though. Apparently he hadn't had something live in a while. I didn't stay to watch that shit.

Harley was ok and enjoying her espresso machine while reading a book. The bit of hope I gave her seemed to lighten her spirits. She did think about me here or there. Seems she did take a fancy to me. I gave a bit of a smirk and shook my head. That ain't happening Harley, I think to myself at her little pondering about Mr.J, her and I.

Deadshot was still hurting but having gotten to see his daughter helped. I did reach out and pulled some memories from her. Just something mundane about her day but for a dad starving for news of a daughter it was like gold. I felt him call my name mentally but I didn't answer.

For all of them I made the connection and made sure they would only say my name as Eris. I made brief mental connections to send messages I would see them soon after that.

The last on site was Digger. Katana wasn't at Belle Reve but I had already been to visit her when I saw June. Bracing myself, I let myself walk into his cell.

He was pacing like a wild animal being caged, and I hated that I couldn't help him leave. I couldn't do that for any of them yet. They were already tagged and would just be hunted down and killed on site.

I watch him for a while until he stops pacing and spins around. "Ya just gonna gawk at me there? Or did ya plan on sayin' something love?"

I frown because he shouldn't be able to see me. I open up my senses and gasp slightly. He doesn't see me but he feels me. And he is pissed that I kept him waiting. I can't help but to chuckle at who the fuck he thinks he is that I have to cater to him.

I shake my head and set the cameras so they won't see or hear this. It will only see him in his normal state of crazed ramblings and not shutting up. Then I let myself appear to him.

He tilts his head and smirks at me when I finally do appear. "Bout time. I thought you might've lost your nerve there."

My eyebrow quirks at him. "What? Like I should be scared of you or something?"

He shrugs a bit cocky and walks closer to me. "Might be more than 'ya can handle darlin." He gives a wink, gold tooth flashing as he moves to hem me in with his arms on either side of my head.

"Wouldn't you like to find out?" I smirk at him, challenging him.

His nostrils flare as he leans in and inhales. "Oh I think we both know it's gonna happen love. What took you so long?" He pulls back with an animalistic growl.

I steady my heartbeat at his closeness and the heat from his body. "Shit to do. Had to get ready for my arrival and all. Then Chato and I.."

He growls and a hand goes to my throat. "Fire boy? He better not be touchin' ya."

He isn't choking me but he does have me locked into place. I frown because normally I could send out a pulse or something to knock him back. I try doing it and I see his body jerk slightly and his grin get wicked. "That's a new bit of foreplay darlin'"

I gasp slightly just before his mouth crashes to mine in a wild and hungry kiss. I can feel his thoughts that he needs to stake his claim, that fire boy better not be fucking touching me. As much as my own body seems to be crying for it, I also know that Griggs is prowling around the corridors.

I finally let go of enough energy to get him to release me and I am left gasping as he growls and struggles against my hold to get back to me.

"Griggs…" I get out finally.

"What?" Digger doesn't stop struggling but isn't going at it so hard.

"He's coming to your cell next. I need to go anyways. I will be here tomorrow, full time." I mumble and release him, which was a mistake because he comes right back at me.

"Darlin I thought we told you to stay away from this mess." He growled, his features became angry.

I sigh and shake my head. "And then what? Hide while you guys are sent out to be bait or cannon fodder. Thanks but no thanks. I'll die with my boots on and taking care of my own."

We could both hear the load voice of the guards as the made their way into his corridor. His hand went to the back of my neck and he smirked at me, losing some of the anger. "'Ya just couldn't stand the thought of being without me…."

I chuckle and shake my head. "Yeah that is it. See you soon Digger."

"It better be E…." He growls and frowns then sighs and rolls his eyes. "Eris."

With a smile I pull him to me for a kiss and just as we both deepen it, I phase out and laughing out loud to his growl when I disappear. He starts to rant and rave, yell again but I can feel his amusement and his mental push to me that I will be getting it when he sees me next.
