Leaving the manor that the mission took place was mostly silent, Y/N and Rose were the first to leave the cave. Peacemaker claimed he'd deal with the Butterfly with a nearby rock, while Y/N and Rose tied up Judomaster. The former gave the green man a small kick to the bollocks as payback for earlier. Currently the now regrouped team were all in the van, a bumpy, silent journey only broken up by the music from the radio. Y/N sat next to Chris, with Rose to Y/Ns left. There were was utter silence. 

"So, after the butterfly flew out of Goff's head, what happened to it?" Harcourt asked looking over at Chris who shrugged in response. 

"I shot it, it just.....blew apart" the maker of peace answered looking down at the floor of the truck. 

"It would've been nice to have captured it, but I guess it's good it didn't get away" Harcourt responded, before the agent could speak up again. The groans of Vigilante cut across, he was bandaging up his bloodied foot. 

"I'm not sure I'm ever gonna walk again" he complained, attempting to move his slightly severed toe. 

"Why?" Rose asked, looking slightly disgusted at the sight in front of her. 

"Motherfucker cut half my pinky toe off" Vigilante answered as he continued to groan and complain about the pain. "It's the most important toe there is" he added, to which Harcourt and Adebayo responded. 

"I don't think so"

"Okay that's not true" 

"Yeah it is! You can't walk without it" Vigilante tried to argue back, only to sound more like an idiot than before. 

"You can walk just fine without a pinky toe" Adebayo did her best to try and ease Vigilantes clear idiocy. 

"You'll fall over all the time, look stupid and everyone will laugh at you" Vigilante said sad, sounding more like a child now more than ever.

"Who's gonna laugh at you for falling over because you don't have a toe?" Harcourt asked rhetorically. But her question was answered, as the chuckling and snickering of Chris and Y/N could be heard, both receiving glances from the three women sat down. 

"I was just imagining it. I'm sorry" Chris said.

"I was thinking of a funny joke that someone once told me" Y/N added as he leant back into the wall of the truck. "Besides it sounds okay man, don't let yourself get down. I didn't see what happened considering I'm blin-" before Y/N could finish Rose cut him off.

"Don't you say it" Rose said raising a finger, sounding annoyed at the recurring disability that seemed to come and go. "Don't you fucking say it" she repeated. Before Rose could further vent her frustrations, the knocked out and tied up Judomaster fell to the side banging himself on the metal floor causing everyone to look at him. 

"What are we gonna do about him?" Harcourt asked nodding her head. 

In response, Y/N, Chris and Vigilante all pulled out their respective handguns, cocking them and pointed them at Judomaster. All of them itching to pull the triggers. 

"Hey no" Harcourt barked standing up, causing the three men to lower their weapons and all pouting like dogs being told off by their owners. Causing Adebayo and Rose to smile somewhat. 

The group had now returned to the small little HQ set up in some abandoned convenience store. Chris and Y/N were unloading boxes of files recovered from the mansion, Rose was looking through said files. Matching them up with the little information A.R.G.U.S already had in an attempt to fill in the gaps. Adebayo then took the files that didn't match up to her own corner to see if any of the data was useful. Harcourt looked through the data that did line up. While Economos was busy getting his tech set up. All the meanwhile Vigilante was leaning to walk without the aide of his pinky. Suddenly, Murn walked into the HQ, having just parked his car outside. Looking around, he saw that his little ragtag team was actually getting some work done for once. 

Then he decided to start barking orders again. Walking up to Vigilante and throwing his keys to the injured anti hero. "You okay to drive now?" he asked. 

"Yeah" was all Vigilante responded. 

"Harcourt and Adebayo go through those files from the Goff residence, see if there's anything to lead us to other Butterflies" he ordered the pair. "L/N, Wilson, when all the files are sorted you burn the ones we don't need" to which Rose responded with a small two fingered salute as Y/N was getting frustrated since the Os and the Qs looked similar due to a printing error. 

"Me? Why not John?" Harcourt questioned due to her lame assignment. 

"He's get to keep Judomaster alive" Murn responded causing said ginger to groan slightly. "Peacemaker in my office" he ordered, with the muscles man quickly following him in. 

A few seconds went by with the door then slamming shut and the rest of the group being left in silence. 

"So, what ya think he's getting grilled for?" Y/N asked Rose, throwing some more files Adebayo's way who only seemed annoyed at the mountain of paperwork amassing before her. 

"Probably something to do with his little blunter last night" she shrugged as she threw some paperwork that was un-needed into the destroy pile. The one eyed mercenary was of course referring to Peacemaker unable to kill the children, with Vigilante having to take over. 

"Meh, we've all been there" Y/N shrugged, causing Rose to look over at Y/N/ 

"So when was your panic attack, won't kill moment?" she asked. 

Y/N's eyes darkened, he looked down at the paperwork as his mind flashed back to a moment from years ago. "I'd rather not talk about it" he said, his tone of voice instantly clueing Rose in that it was probably not a good moment in Y/Ns life. 

"Fuck, fuck, fuck" Vigilante whined out loud, causing the two mercenaries to look over at him in confusion. As he was once again attempt to walk on his hurt foot. "Fuck it hurts to walk on!" he added as he paced back and fourth.

"Dude you had part of your pinky toe cut off less than 12 hours ago, it's gonna take time to heal" Rose tried to reason but Vigilante wasn't listening as he just continued to moan and groan. 

"Well maybe you should have given up the intel so i didn't lose my pinky" 

"Yeah no" Rose shrugged. 

Peacemaker and Murn then exited the room they were having their little chat in. Peacemaker nodded to Vigilante who limped his way out of the building following his best buddy.

"X, Ravager. You're dismissed for now" Murn ordered causing both mercenaries to look at one another slightly confused by this notion. "Some of these documents could include A.R.G.U.S intel I'm not sure Waller would be comfortable in you knowing" he added, answering their not voiced questions. 

"Alright let's go" Y/N said eagerly, wanting to leave this place for now. 

"I'm driving" Rose said as she also stood up, looking Harcourt who nodded back in response. 

"No you're not" Y/N responded, holding up the keys to their shared car which he managed to swipe when Rose wasn't looking. Rose looked at the keys for a moment, then up the ceiling in annoyance. 

The engine purred as Y/N skillfully maneuvered the car through the city streets, heading back to their motel after a grueling mission. Rose reclined in the passenger seat, her exhaustion only matched by her annoyance, yet a hint of amusement danced in her eye as she watched Y/N fidget with excitement.

Y/N grinned as he pressed down on the pedals"Come on, Rose, you know you want some nachos! We'll go the gas station like we did for the beer, gas station nachos are always the best 

"You're relentless, Y/N. We've got plenty of snacks back at the motel. Nachos can wait until tomorrow" Rose replied with a weary smile 

"Oh, c'mon! You can't resist the cheesy, crunchy goodness. It's like a reward for a job well done" Y/N continued to smile nudging her shoulder. 

Rose then sighed. "Fine, fine! But make it quick, okay? I need some rest."

Y/N's grin widened, knowing he had won her over. He swerved into a nearby parking lot, and they found a spot close to the nacho joint. The neon sign flickered above them, inviting them in with its warm glow. Y/N practically bounded out of the car, his excitement infectious.

They entered the small, bustling diner, the aroma of melted cheese and spicy jalapeños enveloping them. The place was mostly empty except for a few locals, and other weary souls seeking solace in the comfort of nachos. Y/N eagerly approached the counter, scanning the menu like a kid in a candy store.

"What can I get you folks tonight?" the cashier asked giving a fake smile. 

"Two large plates of nachos, extra cheese, and all the toppings you've got!" Y/N answered with a grin that could only be described as ear to ear. 

Rose chuckled at his enthusiasm, shaking her head. She leaned against the counter, trying to keep her exhaustion at bay.

"Coming right up. Would you like anything else?" he asked as he went to grab the nachos that were being kept warm. 

"Ummm, litre bottle of Jack Daniels for me and-" Y/N then turned to Rose. "You want anything?" he was met with Rose moving her head from side to side. "Just the JD and nachos then please". 

Rose raised an eyebrow at his choice, but she didn't object. The cashier quickly filled their order, and Y/N paid with a generous tip before carrying the tray laden with nachos and drinks back to their table.

The two returned to their shared car, Y/N eagerly looking down at his food. "Voilà! The best post-mission treat you'll ever have" he said with happiness clear in his voice. 

Rose couldn't help but smile at his infectious enthusiasm. She took a seat across from Y/N, her weariness momentarily forgotten. They dug into the nachos with gusto, savoring the delicious blend of flavors.

"Okay, I admit it. These nachos were a brilliant idea. Thanks for being so persistent" Rose admitted, tipping a chip into the melted see and shoving it in her mouth. 

Y/N currently had a mouth full of nachos but till decided to speak. "Mmh, it's what I do best! Besides, it's the little things that make life worth living, right?"

They continued to enjoy their impromptu feast went on. The two enjoyed the others company, laughing, speaking of their many missions and the clients they had. Speaking for about an hour or so.

"So wait, he was a guy who covered his face in bandages?" Y/N asked as hr placed his plate on a back seat. 

"Yeah" Rose answered with a shrug. "He was some creep who had it out for Batman, back when me and my dad worked on missions together. All this creep kept saying when we asked questions was fucking Hush, Hush. Good pay though" she added with a smile. 

"Yeah I've had a few weird clients, there was this one fucker" Y/N began thinking back to his mission. "You know Riddler? He hired me to place these damn green question mark things around Gotham. He called them Riddler Trophies, that was a long job. Good pay though" he added with a small smirk. 

Before the two could go on with their discussion, Rose's emergency phone given to her by Harcourt immediately went off. The caller ID read it was Economos, Rose answered and put it her ear. 

"What's up?" 

"Fuck, fuck" Economos swore on the other end of the line. "Fucking Judomaster got out" he shouted in panic. "You need to get over here, Peacemaker and Adebayo are on their way, GET HERE NOW, FU-" the line cut out causing Rose to look at the phone confused. Both mercenaries then looked at one another, and Y/ sighed. 

"I'm on it, I'm on it" he repeated, the car revving to life with it shooting down the street. The two quickly arrived back at the HQ. Peacemaker and Adebayo pulling up literally thirty seconds after they did. 

"You could the call too" Adebayo asked as and Peacemaker got out their car. 

"Yeah, green cheeto lover got out" Rose answered, making her knife was tucked away on her back pocket. 

"Time to get this asshole" Y/N muttered, hoping to finally get some revenge for his crown jewels. All four rushed inside, seeing the area Judomaster was being held destroyed and wrecked. Economos was on the floor, wheezing and barley conscious, his nose bloodied as it looked like Judomaster did a number on him. 

"Where'd he go?" Peacemaker asked, but Economos counted to wheeze. 

Rose instantly knew what this was, an asthma attack. She went to Economos side, checking all of his pockets until she found she found his inhaler. "Come on, breath big guy" she said, giving Economos a puff from the inhaler. 

Economos composed himself, even grabbing into Rose's arm as sort of a lifeline. "Hallway, window" he grunted, waving his arm around trying to point. Y/N and Chris looked at one another with nod, Chris sprinting off first. 

"You okay to look after him?" Y/N asked Adebayo and Rose. 

"Go I'll catch up" Rose answered with Y/N quickly sprinting off after Chris. Chris leaped onto a roof and then down to the ground, landing on one knee super hero landing style. Meanwhile Y/N tried and failed, falling to one side.

"Fuck" he swore picking himself up. "Always too hard on his knees" he swore, dusting his trousers off with Peacemaker looking at Y/N with a smile. But as the two looked, it was clear this was going to be anything but easy. Judomaster had hidden himself somewhere in this parking lock, and there were at least fifteen cars to check. The two stuck together, looking down each corner and their eyes scan each mirror to see if they could spot the green gremlin. The two soon came to a smirk truck, Peacemaker thought he spotted Judomaster in the mirror and smiled as he walked up. 

Before the two could react, Judomaster leapt down from the truck. Kicking Y/N in the face and used the force of the drop to drop Chris to the down ground. Y/N shook his head, seeing Judomaster on top of Chris and pummelling him in the face. Y/N charged in, swinging for Judomaster's head. But the martial arts expert was ready for this, and twisted Y/Ns arm and sent the X themed anti hero into a nearby car. Having an opening, Chris managed to swap their positions. With him on top of Judomaster, and doing his best to beat his face in. 

Judomaster placed his leg on Peacemaker's shoulder, and pushed the muscle head off of him and flipped to his feet. Y/N wiped some blood from his teeth, and stood next to Chris and starred down Judomaster. 

"Fuck the both of you" Judomaster swore. 

"Fuck you" Chris said back, sounding almost offended by the remark. 

"Little Fucker" Y/N also swore as Judomaster charged in. Chris actually used Judomaster momentum against him, and flipped him, but Judomaster being as skilled as he was managed to land on his feet and kicked Peacemaker away into a nearby car. Y/N went in, swinging wildly in an attempt to daze Judomaster. While he did manage to get a few shots in, Judomaster dodged and weaved the rest. 

While Judomaster was distracted with Y/N, Peacemaker came through. Using his superior strength to land a direct hit on Judomaster's face sending him back. 

"You two have weirdly shaped bodies" Judomaster insulted as he got his bearings. 

"Personal insults?" Peacemaker asked. "Real mature shrimp"

"Let's bag this Leprechaun" Y/N said as the two charged at the little green man. While both weren't exactly the best of team members, Y/N and Peacemaker managed to overpower Judomaster somewhat. While Judomaster wrested with Peacemaker, Y/N saw the perfect opportunity. Y/N delivered a clean kick to Judomaster's groin, but the man didn't even flinch. Y/N looked at his foot confused, and delivered another kick. But again, Judomaster didn't even flinch. 

"What the fuck?" Y/N asked. 

"What I told you" Judomaster said, grabbing Y/Ns face and slamming it into a nearby car. "You should pad them" he added, but {peacemaker grabbed Judomasters had, and slammed it into a nearby car window. 

"You have no idea, Butterflies" Judomaster began as he stepped back. "There what you think-" before Judomaster could finish, a shot rang out. Going straight through his chest and he fell to the ground, still alive but barley. Y/N and John looked behind them, to see Adebayo standing there with her gun still pointed at where Judomaster was. She was clearly in shock, most likely her first time using a gun. 

"I was gonna win that fight" Chris said. 

"What?" Adebayo asked. 

"This was a big rematch, and... I was reclaiming my honor, and... ( Sighs ) ... I was gonna win that fight, you... fսckеd it all up!" Chris continued. "Even X here needed to avenge his balls" 

"Fuck you they still work......I think" Y/M mumbled.

"I've never killed a man before" Adebayo said, stepping closer to the downed Judomaster. 

"Don't worry he's alive" Y/N tried to ease. "You didn't hit anything major, he's probably in shock or something". 

"These martial artists man" Chris sighed. "Their heart stops beating, they just concentrate and move a kidney up into its place. Then the kidney circulates the blood through the system" he added, getting the 'are you dumb' looked from Y/N and Adebayo. 

"When has that ever happened?" Y/N asked. 

"Only the greats, just a few times" Chris replied, nodding his head. 

"No, that's never happened, ever" Adebayo joined in trying to shut him up. 

"Yeah, it has. One or two times, it has"

"No one has ever replaced their own heart with a kidney!" Adebayo yelled shutting him up. "We have to get him back inside!" she added, as Y/N and Chris went to pick Judomaster up. 

"Yeah, okay. Hey, what do you think he was about to say?" Chris asked Y/N. "You have no idea, Butterflies. There what you think?" Chris added, getting a small shrug from Y/N.

"There aliens who use brain chemicals to high? I don't know, probably just something to stall us or something" 

Later

In a dimly lit motel room, Y/N poured a glass of whisky, its amber glow casting a warm hue across the worn wooden table. The scent of aged alcohol filled the air as he lifted the glass to his mouth. 

"Cheers, Rose," Y/N said, raising his glass to which she raised her beer. "To whatever the fuck happened last night" he laughed causing Rose to giggle somewhat. 

Rose took a sip, a mischievous smile gracing her lips. "Cheers, Y/N. It's not a pleasure working with you, but it's starting ton get there" she smiled. 

"Hey, same could be said for me and Peacemaker, guys a fucking idiot but he's a good laugh" he added. "What do you make of all this, the Butterflies, the alien invasion shit they're spewing us" he asked, cracking his neck and placing his whisky glass down. 

"I don't give a shit" Rose sighed, brining the roof of the bottle to her nose. "All I know it's a easy job, with time off our sentence. Hell if they said the President was a Butterfly I'd happily kill him" she finished. 

"Same here, fuck I'd try and kill fucking Batman if he were a Buttlerfly" Y/M smiled as Rose rolled her eyes at his overconfidence. "I haven't met a person I can't kill, well except Superman. But I met him briefly when he caught me with Power Girl but I could probably kill him, maybe" he added, causing Rose to give a WTF face. 

"Okay, where do you get all these stories from. Cause you haven't fucked Power Girl, I almost slept with Nightwing and nobody believes that" Rose went on. 

"Nightwing?" Y/N asked raising an eyebrow. "To be honest with an ass like his don't blame you. No, I've slept with Power Girl, wanna know how?" he asked, causing another roll of the eyes. "So it all began when I was on a contract, suited up.......

Flashback 

Red X, crouched on a rooftop in Keystone City, his gloved finger delicately caressing the trigger of his high-powered rifle. Through the scope, he focused on the mayor's podium, where the corrupt official was about to address the press. This was the moment he had been waiting for, the opportunity to rid the city of its corrupt leader.

As the mayor began his speech, rambling on peace, prosperity how he's made the city safer blah, blah, blah. Y/N adjusted his aim, aligning the crosshairs with the target. The wind whispered softly, carrying with it the weight of the city's despair. He steadied his breath, his finger gently squeezing the trigger. However, just as he was about to take the shot, and the bullet burst from his rifle. A figure sped in front of the bullet.

Y/N cursed under his breath, his eyes scanning the surrounding area. A figure, unmistakably Power Girl, soared into view, her cape billowing behind her as she descended upon the scene. The golden-haired heroine had arrived, and her presence threatened to complicate Y/N's carefully laid plans.

Portrayed by Ana De Armas 

Determined not to let this opportunity slip away, Y/N swiftly repositioned himself, searching for an alternative vantage point. He needed a clear shot, free from interference. In a calculated display of agility, he maneuvered across the rooftops, seeking the perfect perch to complete his deadly task. Y/N had a few vantage points laid out, he just needed to get to another one and get a clear shot at the Mayor's limo. 

Lowering his weapon, Y/N holstered it and carefully stepped forward, emerging from the shadows. His mask concealed his identity, adding an air of mystery to his presence. Power Girl's eyes narrowed as she locked her gaze onto him, a mixture of curiosity and caution flickering in her eyes.

"Power Girl, you certainly know how to make an entrance," Y/N said, his voice smooth and seductive. "But why waste this opportunity on a mere scuffle? Let's make it more interesting, shall we?"

Power Girl's expression hardened, but a hint of curiosity danced across her features. Y/N's attempt to flirt with her had piqued her interest, if only for a moment. She remained vigilant, ready to respond to any threat he posed. She knew X, the two had several encounters before this. Encounters filled with back and fourth remarks some would consider flirting. 

"Babe you don't have to keep following me you know" X smiled, using a grapple on his gauntlet to hook onto an upper building and send himself speeding upwards. "Cause you more you're around me, the more you might like" he smiled behind his mask. As he sped up, X pulled out a pistol loaded with explosive rounds courtesy of the country of Bialya. The upgraded bullets however didn't really do much. 

Power Girl's lips curved into a faint smile, a flicker of amusement in her eyes. "You think you can evade me, X? Don't count it"

As they engaged in their game of cat and mouse, Y/N's lethal skills were put to the test. Evading Power Girl's relentless pursuit became a dangerous dance, where each move he made had to be calculated and precise. The stakes were high, and the outcome uncertain as they navigated the streets of Keystone City, their fates intertwined in a battle of skill, wit, and perhaps, an unexpected connection. Every once and while, Y/N would fire off a bullet towards the Mayor's direction, which Power Girl was forced to intercept. Getting slightly sick of this, Power Girl served X's grapple line and pinned him against nearby wall. Two people, on the opposite side of the law. Y/N pulled up his mask slightly to reveal his lips. 

Soon, both mouths began to move towards each and then....

End of Flashback 

".....And then we fucked" Y/N yelled, lifting his whisky glass into the air and the  downed the whole thing. 

"For fucks sake" Rose cursed, holding her forehead in annoyance that, that story was untrue......probably untrue. 

End Credits Scene

Y/N and Chris lugged Judomaster onto the sofa, and began to retrain him. As they did, Y/N wondered what kind of padding the martial artist was using. 

"Dude, were you looking at his balls?" Chris asked.

"What? No" Y/N replied sounding offended. 

"You totally were"

"I was just wondering what padding he's using that he could take two clean kicks and not even flinch" Y/N tried to argue but just caused Peacemaker to laugh. 

"What?" Rose asked as she entered the room. 

"X was looking at Judomaster's balls" Chris continued to laugh with Rose joining in. Y/N, didn't really have a happy expression. 

Author's Note

And there we go, another GPAC chapter done, hope you all enjoyed. Again, this episode mainly dealt with a lot of Peacemaker personal stuff. So I thought I'd match that with a small, possibly true, possibly untrue story about Y/N. 

Definitely didn't type some of this wearing my actual Peacemaker helmet. 

But anyway, remember to leave a vote and comment as it does a lot for my motivation knowing you are reading.

Hope You Enjoyed

See You Next Time
