III
The jets from the aeroplane whirled my hair in all directions as I walked into its big black interior. I sat down on one of the seats and following me Harley plopped into the seat next to me. Once everyone strapped themselves into the seats, a woman came through the opening and looked at Rick.
Rick turned to us "This is Katana, she's got my back." He pointed to her, "She can cut you all in half with one sword stroke, Just like mowing the lawn."
"Wonderful mental image please describe out imminent death more vividly for the people at the back." I chimed in.
"I'd advise you not to get her angry" Flag sent a glare in my direction. " Her sword traps the souls of her victims."
"Can't wait!" I winked at him sarcastically.
Harley outstretched her hand out for Katana to shake. "Harley Quinn nice to meet ya. I love your perfume what is that the stench of death?"
Katana began to pull out her sword and speaking Japanese when Rick stopped her. "Easy, cowgirl, this isn't that kind of mission. Have a seat." He ushered her to the seat next to him.
Harley turned her head to me, "She seems nice." she nodded her head vigorously.
"Like a ray of sunshine." I replied.
"What stick is up your ass? Why you so grumpy?" She asked pouting and slightly turning her head.
"Oh you know being locked up in a dingy prison for a year lightens up my mood."
"Don't worry we're free now!" She winked.
I smiled at her and turned my head and looked out the circular windows. What kinda mess are they making us clean up? The city looked like a mess, smoke billowing from highrises and choppers circling the dark and smokey city. I turned back around and looked down at my lap. A small light to my right caught my attention.
I turned my head and noticed it was a little pink phone that read 'I'm coming for you'. I looked up at Harley raising an eyebrow, a small smirk making its way onto my face. She shushed me and winked.
Harley moved her head towards the window "Ooo, look at the pretty lights, are you guys seeing this?" She squealed turning back to us in excitement.
"What happened?" Boomerang boy looked to Rick for a response.
"Terror attack." He took off his headset. "Dirty bombs, bad guys shooting up the place with AKs. You know the usual shit.
"Right." Deadshot nodded. "You know you are a shit liar. I'm not sure if they told you this, but we're not firemen, we don't save people. " He motioned to himself and I.
"Anything for a dollar right?" Dick Flag fired back.
"Oh, you know it, big boy." I quipped.
"You know the dark places too. Don't act like you don't" Deadshot interjected, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm a soldier! You both are serial killers who takes credit cards. When the shooting starts, and it will. You both will cut and run." Rick snarled, oh so sure of himself.
"Do you take me for a pussy Mr Perfect?" I tilted my head to the side and pouted. "Don't underestimate me, Flaggy boy." I smirked, "let's see how well that will work out for you."
The sound of gunfire filled my ears; I looked around in confusion. "I guess those are the bad guys?" I asked. I yelped as I felt the plane jolt. I could hear Harley scream as the aircraft began to thrash around in the air. My stomach dropped. We fell from the sky, heading full force towards the ground. The sirens in the plane whaled as we crashed into the ground and the plane flipped over. It stopped, and I looked at my surroundings, I could see everyone looking dishevelled as we were forcefully ushered out of the plane and out into the muggy streets.
We walked down the streets, taking in our surroundings. The only source of brightness was from a set of huge stadium lights illuminating the dark streets. Where adds use to reside was now filled with the red fluorescent glow of signs reading 'Mandatory evacuation if effect.'
I heard someone talking from behind me, so I instinctively eavesdropped. I could recognise the thick Australian accent of Captain Boomerang saying "All this bomb in the neck crap. They're trying to trap us in our minds but look around. We're free."
I craned my neck and saw that the person he was talking to is Slipknot. I sighed He's trying to get them killed.
"I've got a life to live; the question is are you coming?" I hear no response, but It must be positive as Boomerang continues "Yeah, smart."
I quickly walk away from them and towards Harley; I'm not about to get myself killed. I walk in time with her as we follow the group of guards. "What did you call yourself again? Serina?" She asked me.
I smiled at her, "Siren."
I felt my heart quicken as she put her arm around my shoulder, " Don't worry I'll cheer you up! This will be fun!"
She was about to say something else but was interrupted by an outcry of a soldier behind us. I snap my head in the direction to see that Captain Boomerang began his little plan and punched a couple of guards. He made a run for it but was cornered by Katana's sword to his neck. On the other side of the street where Boomerang had last been was Slipknot firing his grapple gun towards the roofs of a nearby building.
He started being pulled up when Rick told the soldiers to hold their fire. After Slipknot was too far away to capture, there was a small mechanical shriek and soon after Shitknot was no more. He hung limply on the side of the building, slightly swaying from the rope he once tried to escape on.
The thought of that happening to me made me detach myself from Harley's side. I took a deep breath in who cares; he was an ass anyway, Its not like your going to make the same mistake as him and get caught. I looked to see Harley unphased by the headless man dangling upside down. "Now that's a killer app!" she exclaims, looking at Rick in wonder.
"So, you wanna keep playing the Hollywood Squares version of 'I'll blow your freaking head off?'"He glared at Boomerang. He walked over to where the rest of us were where standing. "Is it going to be one of you?"
"You tripping homie." El Diablo.
"How about you Siren?" He taunted me.
I slowly turned my head to his direction. "Excuse me?"
"Are you going to be the next to run?"
"Did you just threaten me?" He smirked "He just threatened me! Come here you little shit!" I lunged towards him but was yanked back by Deadshot and a cackling Harley.
"Easy now, let's not try and get our heads blown off" Deadshot whispered, attempting to calm be down.
"Yeah I do need my head don't I?" I replied with a huff as he let go of me. "Thanks, man. I guess you're not as much of a dick as I remembered."
He ruffled my hair, "Good to know I have your trust again."
"Don't be so sure hot shot." I teased
"Move" Rick ordered rolling his eyes.

Sorry! for not updating I had been so bogged down with assignmwnts but now they are all done!
I feel like I'm taking all of Deadshot's lines. And also the misspelling of names are intentional.
Tell me what you think, updates coming soon!
