I stare at the only light illuminating this small cell, the lightning coming from the small rectangular window. I hear shuffling outside of my cell and crank of the eyehole opening. I take a deep sigh and face the door. "Hi Sammy, what are you doing outside of my cell this fine evening?" I ask while walking over to the door and leant against it.
"Can you please stop calling me Sammy." The young guard asked me in a tired tone.
I grinned at the young man. "Why not?"
"My name is Jackson." He said.
"Well, I like Sammy better." I giggled.
"I have your food for you." He opened the foot slot and slid the plate in.
I looked down at the 'loaf' which I theorise to be rats they find in the basement and place it on my desk and run back to the door.
"Come on Sammy give me the good stuff," I call out to him, already halfway down the hallway. "Please, I'm so tired. Just a little bit." I begged.
He sighed and brought his index finger in between the bars, I marched his action and brought my finger to slightly touch his. I felt a rush of energy surge through my body, just as I felt my energy being replenished the source cuts me off early.
I pout at him and place my hands on the bars. "That's all you get today, sweetheart." He quickly walked away leaving me sad and tired once again.
An older guard walked past my cage and glanced at me with a huff. "Did someone feed the beast again?" He yelled out to the other men down the hallway. I began to laugh hysterically.

I hear my door unlock and the rusty hinges moving. I turn over from my place in my bed to face the door. I see an older black woman staring back at me with no fear what so ever. "I'm Amanda Waller, I heard you have a deadly touch." She said in a serious tone.
I smile at her and sit up on the thin bed. "You wanna find out?"
She motioned for someone to come to go into the cell. "Hi Sammy," I giggled "it's nice seeing you here." He walked into the room shakily, fear in his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." I purred, motioning him to bring his hand forward.
He slowly outstretched his arm. His lip began to quiver but he attempted kept his composure as if he doesn't want anyone to know he's afraid, especially Amanda and his supervisor.
"Why is your hair white now but in your photo its black?" Amanda frowned.
I grinned. "You'll find out."
I grabbed Sammy's arm and felt the surge of energy I've been missing for a year. I took a deep breath and crazed grin was etched on my face. I saw in my peripheral vision that my stark white hair turned raven black. His body dropped to the ground with a loud thump, a look of fear stained in his wide open eyes.
Amanda walked up to him, lightly nudged his unmoving body and looked up at me. "We will keep in touch." She said and walked out of my cell. 2 guards quickly dragged Sammy's body out of the room and slammed the door shut.

I woke up to the sounds of shuffling, as I open my eyes I see 10 armed guards huddled in my room staring at me. "What's up boys, here for a little fun?" I smirked as they rushed forward to me. I sat up and kicked one of the guys coming from in front me, pushing myself off the bed and threw a couple punches before realising they are all surrounding me. I feel a sharp pain in my neck and feel myself quickly becoming dizzy. I fall to the ground and see the large needle that was just in my neck.
While being extremely sedated, they strap me onto a chair and wheel me through the grungy halls of Belle Reve. I'm lined up next to other familiar faces, all just as bad as me.
"What is that? What is that?" I hear a familiar voice scream. I try to turn my head but notice that my head is strapped down. I see a bunch of black boxes with red labels as I roll next to them. I see a machine that looked like a gun but with a large needle in it being produced out of the box.
"If anyone comes near me with that shitty looking needle gun think I will fuck you all up!" I yell thrashing in my seat. The needle approaches me and injects itself into my neck. I scream "Fuck" as the needle injects something into my neck.
I hear the lady holding the needle say "injection successful" then I'm quickly rolled away down a dark tunnel. They pushed me and a couple others out of the dingy prison and to an area wish army soldiers quickly moving around the large space.
A man with a large jacket and gun who looked in charge told the nervous guards behind us to unlock us. I felt the straps around my chest loosen and pulled off me. I sigh in relief as I get up and look at my criminal counterparts.
"Hi Deadshot how u doin?" I smiled. "I see we ended up in the same place."
"What is she doing on the team?" He asked the man in charge. The man shrugged and looked away trying not to make eye contact with us. "Somebody get her out of here I don't like her."
"Huh?" I girl yelled in the quiet space. "I should kill everybody and escape?"
I turned to her, "I like that plan, can I join in?"
She smiled at me and looked at all the guards who were trying to intimidate us "Sorry, voices." she brought her index finger and tapped at her temple. when no one laughed she spoke again "I'm kidding jeez! that's not what they really said."
A tall buff guy was brought out of a sack He had a thick Australian accent and looked like he would be a jackass, but when I thought about it, we kind of all are. A man was brought out of a car and punched a lady which made me instantly want to hurt him already.
The man in charge told us to listen up as we all turned his direction. "Your necks, the injection you got was a nanite explosive. Its the size of a rice grain but its as powerful as a hand grenade. You disobey me, you die. You try to escape, you die. You otherwise irritate or vex me, guess what? you die."
The pale girl with long white hair raised her hand, "I'm known to be quite vexing just for warning you."
I waved my hand, "Me too."
The man looked at us with rage in his eyes. "Shut up ladies!" We both simultaneously recoiled and slouched in out seats.
"This is the deal, you're going somewhere very bad to do something that will get you killed but until that happens" He raised his arms, "You're my problem."
"Wonderful pep talk, you should do them more often, I already feel so motivated to die!" I jeered.
He gave me a deadpan look "There's your shit." He pointed to his left. "Grab what you need for a fight, wheels up in 10."
I walked over to a black case the size of a suitcase and opened it, I sighed if relief as I grabbed my belongings I hadn't seen in a year. I changed into the last outfit I had on which was ripped black shorts, I red halter top with a heart cut out and my leather jacket which had the words 'trouble maker' written on the back in red. I laced up my heeled boots and looked up when I heard it go quiet, I looked over curiously and saw Harley put her shirt on and about a hundred men's eyes on her torso. I giggled as she looked around confused and everyone quickly continued their job.
I grabbed my 2 white handguns and put them in the holster in my belt and combed my white hair with my fingers. Annoyed that my hair is still white I walked up to Rick Flag. "Excuse me Mr. Flag." I waved my hand in front of his face as he has a conversation with some of his minions. He turned to me a look of annoyance clear in his eyes. I ignored his look and continued to smile, "Yeah hi I'm sure you know my power and what my energy needs are right? Well as you can see my hair is white whi-" He cut me off.
"Yeah I know, I'll send some guards over in a minute." He sighed. "just please don't kill them I mild coma at the most please."
"No promises!" I laughed walking to the group of villains talking.
"Y'all might want to leave the boy alone, he could Torch this whole joint. Ain't that right ese?" Deadshot said to the group.
"You don't have to worry about me, I'm cool." El Diablo replied.
Harley turned to me, "Why is your hair white?" She touched my straight white hair. "You look like you would be a brunette."
"I was, but I'm low on energy so this is my hair." I sighed, Slowly feeling myself become drowsy.
"Don't mess with her, she's a deadly one." Deadshot added.
I slowly turned my head his direction. "This one here is a second rate version of myself. Assasin for hire just the same but I don't need my toys to do my dirty work for me." I poked at his many guns, making a popping sound ever time I touch a new one.
"Oh please, you look like you couldn't hurt a fly. You just another villain like the rest of us." Captain Boomerang looked me up and down.
"You think I'm just another villain?" I pouted. "Oh baby, I'm the worst of them all." A maniacal smile worked its way onto my face. I turned around and saw the 2 guards Rick had prepared for me. I stood in the middle of them and grabbed their necks. I sighed, feeling their energy surging through my veins, I could see my hair turn black and a sense of power came back to me. I held back a little bit just before they reached the brink of death. I let go of their necks and they collapsed to the ground. "Thanks, boys."
Boomerang stared at the soldiers in shock. "couldn't hurt a fly huh?" I mocked.
I heard Harley laughing, "You seem like a real fun time, I like ya!" She exclaimed
Rick coughed and we all turned to him. "Behold the voice of God" He motioned us to look at the Ipad in his hands."
The screen turned on and Amanda's face replaced the darkness. "There is an active terrorist event in Midway City, I want you to enter the city and rescue HVT-1, and get them to safety."
"uh, for those of us who don't speak good guy, what is HVT-1?" Deadshot interrupted.
"The only person in the city who matters, the only one you can't kill." Amanda barked. "Complete the mission you get time off your prison sentence. Fail the mission, you die. If anything happens to Cornel Flag I will kill every single one of you."
The call ended and Rick put the iPad down "there's your pep talk."
"Compared to your shit, she killed it." I affirmed.
"What are we some kind of suicide squad?" Deadshot asked.
"Looks like it! Let's go now get this over with." I patted his shoulder, turned and walked towards the jet.
