"You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer,"
Rick Flag
June was the first to return. Or he's sure that this was actually June, not the Enchantress. He still had his gun in his hand. He carefully approaches the bed.
"June?"
He turns on the lamp on the nightstand. It was June. He tosses his gun to the floor and then goes to comfort his girlfriend. Her body shook with sobs. Rick rubs her hair soothingly, telling her that he was sorry.
"June, I'm sorry." He tells her again, hugging her tightly. "They went somewhere…"
June lifts her head from his chest. Her blue eyes were getting and a bit puffy from crying. He hated seeing her like this, seeing her suffering at the hands of this witch.
"If you have to choose between me or her," June says. "stop her. Promise me you'll stop her."
Rick only stares at her. She was asking him to do the impossible. He did want to stop the Enchantress. However, he knew that it would kill June and he couldn't risk that.
"Rick, where's Lena?"
"Fuck!" He curses at himself. How could have he forgotten about Lena? "She hasn't come back. Might have to call Waller- "
The room suddenly shook. A large cloud of mist and smoke zooms past June and stops on the sofa chair Lena had been sitting in before. Rick watches at the mist starts to take shape of a woman. He reaches for his gun the lay on the floor near the foot of the bed.
"Rick wait." June speaks.
He looks back the sofa chair and sees that it's only Lena. June quickly goes over to her friend to see if she was okay. Rick watches as June tries to get her to talk but she couldn't. The girl was clearly in shock.
"Lena," June says softly. "please say something."
"June. She's in shock." Rick informs her. "I don't think she'll be able to talk. Not right now."
Lena sits there, completely motionless. She was staring at floor, her face lacking any type of emotion and it scared Rick. He didn't know what happened between her and June when the witches took over but he knew it wasn't good.
They don't deserve this. He thought.
Lena finally spoke when the sun started to rise in the sky.
"She wants to kill him." She mumbles.
"What?" Rick's head snaps to her direction. Neither he or June slept at all. They were all too tired and stress to sleep. Too much was at stake.
"Morana wanted to kill him. She used me to hurt him…" Lena said.
"Lawton?"
Lena nods. "I dunno how I did it." Lena tries to explain. "She wanted to follow the Enchantress but I brought her to Floyd." Her face pale at the thought. "Oh God…I took her to him…"
"Listen to me, Lena." Rick tells her. "This is not your fault. You didn't ask for this to happen." He looks at June. "Neither of you."
"I thought you were supposed to help us."
"I am. I have been for the past month and a half." Rick says defensively.
"Waller is using you." Lena accuses. "She's using all of us. She's using June to get you to follow her orders."
His jaw clenches and body tense. He hated how right she was about Waller. That woman had them all in her pocket. His cell phone buzzes with a new text message. He swipes the screen to read his updated orders.
Shit.
"Recall message," he said. "Got to go."
Lena
Something was wrong.
Rick didn't give her or June the details about his text message. All he told him is that all three of them is needed in Midway City. They left the hotel room so quickly, Lena didn't have to grab her cell phone.
Being cramped inside a cargo aircraft didn't ease her anxiety. She looks over to Rick. He was briefing with his squad of the situation. She wishes she was back at home, on the ground and in her bed where it was safe.
Pray all you want. The voices echo in her mind. Run and hide. I'll still be there.
"Please stop." Lena mumbles, clutching her head.
She begins to think of a happier time.
Rain patted against the windows of her apartment. Lena lays on the couch with Floyd spooning her from behind. Their legs were entwined together as one of his arms drapes protectively over her waist. His soft snoring was annoying as hell.
"Floyd." She calls out, nudging at him with her elbow. "Stop snoring."
Floyd's snoring got obnoxiously louder, like he intentionally done it to irritate Lena more. She shifts her body a bit to face him.
"I know you're awake, Lawton."
She studies his facial expression, looking for signs of consciousness. He was doing a terrible job of hiding his smile. He fakes snoring again.
"You're a terrible actor, Floyd." Lena tells him, rolling her eyes. "Please, please don't ever quit your day job."
His eyes open slightly. "Now that's just cold, L." His voice was a bit groggy.
"Want to know what else is cold? Me."
"Get a blanket," Floyd suggests.
"You're hogging it." She accuses, trying to pull from the blanket from under his body. "This isn't your blanket."
"First off, men don't use blankets…we use covers." Floyd informs her.
"God damnit, Floyd give me the blanket." Lena sighs, tugging it harder. Floyd laughs at her attempt, shaking his head. "What's so funny?"
"I find it so cute how you think you're stronger than me." Floyd replies.
She sticks her tongue out at him. "I can easily beat you…one of these days."
Floyd smirks at her. Before she can say something sarcastic to him, he flips her onto her back so that he was hovering over her.
"How much you want to bet on that?" He taunts. He leans down to her neck, placing soft kisses on her neck.
"No fair," Lena breathes out, trying to keep her mind straight. "You're cheating."
"All's fair in love and war, baby…" He whispers in her ear. His lips traces over her ear to the curve of her neck. He then gently bites down.
She moans out, like the air was being suck out of her lungs. Then the smell and taste of soot and smoke invades her senses. Lena starts to cough and gag a bit.
The cargo aircraft shakes violently against the wind. The sounds of sirens of police and fire trucks can be heard from a far distance.
Looking out the window, Lena can see that Midway is engulfing with smoke and destruction. She didn't want to think of the dead bodies she'll end up seeing.
Or what force she'll be going against.
Rick leads them into an underground subway station. He informs his team that it would be better to take out the target from beneath. Element of surprise as he put it. They silently move silently and quickly on the train tracks. Rick has the group stop when he heard the large foots coming directly above him.
"He's right above us," Rick says to himself.
"This is a mistake." June tells him. "Rick, we can't do this. We can't-"
Lena watch as he took her face into his hands, their faces inches from each other. He looks at her, desperate and pleading.
"Listen," he said. "There's no other way. Just get it done." He speaks to her as if she was another soldier, not his girlfriend. He lets her face go. "Just get it done."
June closes her eyes, holding on to Lena's for support.
"Enchantress."
"Morana."
Morana
She watches as the soldier gives her sister the weapon they were intending to use on their brother. The object itself was heavy in the soldier's hands so he places on the ground and presses the buttons on it.
Morana reads it was being set to two seconds.
Just enough time to escape.
He picks up the weapon again, passing it on to her sister. She can feel and practically his disgust towards her sister.
"Set for two seconds." He informs her. "You just press the button and drop it."
Sister presses the button before vanishes before his eyes, laughing in the wind. Morana follows suit. She was a bit disappointed to not hear the weapon go off.
"He's quick." Morana says. She thinks of going back to finish off the soldier and his men, however the sudden stabbing pain in chest cease all thought from her head.
"Sister! Brother!" She cries out for them in agony.
Morana uses enough of her strength to get to her siblings. She was on her hands and knees. Brother was merely a few feet away. He looks at them horrified that they were in such pain and agony.
"Brother! Help us brother!"
"Brother help before she kills us!"
He approaches his two sisters, reaches out with both his hands, transferring some his power with them.
"Where is your heart?" He asks.
"Don't worry," Sister tells him. "I'll get it back for Morana and I. Until then, we'll share your power. Now help us build our machine."
Morana looks into her brother's eyes, touching his face affectionately, almost like they were lovers.
"It's time we wipe them out, dearest brother."
