"I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole."
Lena
Lena could see the satisfaction in the woman's eyes. Had she planned for this to happen? Did Waller intentionally tricked her into evoking Morana?
"Heart?" Lena spoke softly.
"Yes." Waller said. "Again I have been tracking your movements for months. Got really interested to why Dr. Moone took a sudden leave of absence. Why neither of you left your apartment for two months…"
"Is that even legal?"
"Your boyfriend was a notorious hitman. It was a merely a precaution." Waller replies simply.
"I can barely defend myself." Lena said.
"But now you can." Waller adds.
"I don't want this. I didn't intend for this to happen!" Lena yells, her anxiety increasing. "You don't understand…every waking moment I'm in a constant war in my mind."
Waller only looks at her with a cold stare. "You can only invoke Morana if you say her name. You really have nothing to worry about."
Is this woman mad?
"What if I- "
"What? Summon her by accident?" Waller cuts her off, raising an eyebrow. "Trust me…you won't. Because if I had any reason to think that either you or Dr. Moone would do something like that I will have you both strapped to a board in a drug-induced coma in Belle Reve."
Lena got quiet.
Waller is not bluffing or the person anyone would want to piss off. She's manipulative and calculating.
"Do you want to help your boyfriend?" Waller asks, breaking the silence between them.
"I do but I'm not doing it just for him." Lena states. "If I follow your orders, do as you say, you have to let Floyd see his daughter."
"I have to?"
"Um, you don't really have to but I want you to consider it." Lena informs Waller. "Zoe loves and needs Floyd."
Waller chuckles a bit. "Needs him. Listen to yourself. He's a hitman- "
"He's a good father." Lena said defensively. "I know he did bad things…but he's a good father to her."
Waller sits back down in her seat. "Okay. I can work something out for Lawton. But I need something from you."
"Ok?"
"I want you and Dr. Moone to be a part of a team." Waller explains. "A 'special ops' type of team. The kind that involves high-risk missions."
Lena looks at her confused. "High-risk missions? You want me, June and other people to go on 'high-risk' missions? We're not soldiers..."
"No but you and Dr. Moone have abilities." Wallers states.
"What kind of team are you building?"
"A team that is made up of some very bad people." Waller tells her.
"Why?"
"That's a need to know. And all you need to know is now…you work for me."
She may have just sold her soul to the devil.
Lena is being escorted to the medical infirmary where doctors will be performing a medical exam on her. Waller tells her, despite seeing the ancient witch herself, she wants to do some test to see if anything would come up.
Of course, she complies with the doctors. Waller's team of doctors spent hours taking blood samples and analyzed them.
Nothing comes up.
They measure her blood pressure and heart rate. Found nothing unusual.
One doctor orders for Lena to have an MRI scan. She never gotten a MRI scan before. Before going into the large tube-like machine, the doctor informs her that she has remove her silver locket. She doesn't do it immediately because Floyd had given it to her and she never took it off since then. Lena gives it to one of the nurses who assures her that she'll get it back after the scan.
The radiologist injects her with an IV contrast liquid before having Lena be placed on the large scanner to lie down. He also places a head brace on her head to avoid movement. She is given earplugs to block out the loud noises cause by the scanner.
There was a sudden jolt and slowly Lena was being pull inside complete dark very enclosed space. Even with the earplug, the drumming is very intense.
"Just stay still." The radiologist tells her.
She couldn't stay still. She couldn't be trapped again. The drumming is too loud. She was sure that her eardrums will explode.
There's a sudden rush of a memory. A tall and lean woman, her bronze skin and silk robes tainted with dark thick blood. Her kinky/curly hair and lips black as night. She holds in her hands two swords that has blood dripping off them. Laying near her feet was a dead nude woman.
Morana.
The witch warrior was wearing golden amour she had taken from the dead woman. From a distance she could the others coming towards her. And she relished the thought. She desired to slaughter these women. She craved the death and destruction.
She looks to her left and smirks when she sees the other warrior women approaching her with full speed.
The psychopathic witch starts to charge towards the warriors, her sword aiming directly for the neck of the great Queen Hippolyta.
Lena's scream was inhumanly loud. The MRI started to malfunction, the lighting inside was flickering on and off. She can smell the scent of burning plastic and wiring.
BAM!
The machine exploded. Thick dark gray smoke starts to engulf the tiny room Lena was currently in. She can smell and feel the fire burning. She was trap inside the machine.
As quickly as the fire started, the sprinklers turn on and releases a shower of water. Lena feels a piece of the MRI crushing on her chest. With inhuman strength, she starts to tear away at the metal machinery like it was paper.
She sighs in relieve as cold droplets of water touches her skin. When she steps on floor, the water retracts away from her feet. Lena looks around the room, surveying the damage that she unintentionally. She sees that the huge window where the radiologist and a nurse that were doing her MRI scan was completely shattered and broken. She goes into the room to find the burnt remains of the nurse and the radiologist.
Lena stood there, shaking. She covers her mouth, breathing hard and anxiously. She had killed two innocent people. People who were probably trying to help her get rid of this…monster inside her.
And she caused their deaths.
She hears the footsteps of boots coming down the hall. A metal door opens with quick beep. She can feel the guns being aimed at her.
Did Waller decided that she was too much of a risk to keep around?
"Don't shoot her." It was Waller's voice.
Lena turns around to find the shady government official in the crowd of several guards with the same gleam in her eyes.
"You seem to have a lot of tricks up your sleeves, Roth."
