Issue #3: Planet of the Apes Part 1: Two Clowns and a Heat Vampire
Your POV
I sat in my cell playing Solitaire while I was bored. I decided I should try to make friends.
"So...this place sucks, right?" I said to Boomerang and Frost.
"Oh so now you want to talk?" Frost said. She was probably still annoyed about me not talking to her.
"Sorry about that, but it's really easy to give you a cold shoulder when you know that if I ever kissed you, you'd literally suck the life out of me." I said. Boomerang laughed when he heard "cold shoulder".
"Shut it, Boomerang!" Killer Frost shouted at him.
"Relax, luv! Just havin' a laugh! Kid's just trying to be friendly! Anyway, don't mind her. Just stick with Old Digger and you'll do fine in this hellhole, mate!" Killer Frost scoffed.
"Don't listen to that idiot. You'll be better off with me. Duela and I know what it's like to be the new person after knowing they've already had missions without you... but Duela is-"
"Bonkers." Boomerang finished the sentence for her.
"Right. And Boomerang has almost died the most out of us. That's both in having Waller threaten to blow him up and on the battlefield."
"That just proves how much of a survivor I am!"
"Wait, Waller was serious about the bombs?" I asked.
"That's what I said!" Frost said.
"I guess great minds think alike, huh, Snowflake?" I said.
"Uh oh, mate. She doesn't really like nicknames." Boomerang warned me.
"Actually, I like snowflake." Frost said. "But, 'Cap'n', if you call me it, I'm going to turn you into a popsicle. And..." Frost stopped as she realized she actually didn't know my name. I guess Waller referred to me as "That Guy" when she sent them after me.
"(Y,N)." I said.
"(Y,N), I'm not really sure if we're on the same mind field. I have a phd and according to Waller you're a filthy delinquent."
"I'm pretty sure to Waller you're a criminal murderer that's only serviceable as a human puppet." I said. "But I think you're a lot more than that."
"And I think you're a lot more than a delinquent."
"Hey, luv. About the popsicle thing, I'm totally fine with that as long as you start locking me after." Boomerang said. The room temperature lowered an extreme amount after he said it. "I WAS JUST KIDDIN', LUV! CALM DOWN!" He said. The temperature returned to normal and Killer Frost snickered in her cell.
Batgirl POV
I arrived to Blackgate and walked in.
"Batgirl? This is a surprise." Renee Montoya said as I walked in.
"I could say the same for you. Why are you on guard duty at Blackgate and not on the field?"
"Beats me. Anyway what brings you here?"
"I'm here to check on one of the prisoners. Any idea where Floyd Lawton's cell is?" I asked her.
"Huh?" She asked confused.
"Deadshot is supposed to be a prisoner here. He was sent here 6 months ago."
"Deadshot hasn't been in prison since the last time Batman busted him and he stuck around for the trial two years ago." Renee said.
"That's all I needed to hear. Thank you." I said. Before she could question me anymore I left. "This is Batgirl. Deadshot isn't in Blackgate."
"Quinn isn't in Arkham. Interestingly, neither is Croc." Bruce said.
"Frost was never brought to Stryker's, either." Green Lantern (A/N: Jon Stewart. I don't fuck wit no Hal Jordan. And no he's not Jon Stewart from the Daily Show.) said.
"I checked every prison in Australia. Captain Boomerang isn't there." Kara said.
"How is that possible?" I asked.
"Easy. They're working with someone on the inside." Bruce said.
"You mean someone even more powerful than them broke them all out?" Lantern asked
"What would someone that powerful want with Captain Boomerang?" Kara asked.
"I'm not saying someone powerful physically broke them out. I'm saying someone in the government made it look like four dangerous murderers were in jail. And possibly they've been doing this for months and somebody's made sure the whole time they've been off the radar, covering their tracks and creating fake arrest files."
"Who the hell would do that?" Lantern asked.
Your POV
"Alright, listen up, Squad." Waller said. "Rumors are that Gorilla Grodd is currently planning an invasion of Metropolis. He's gotten his hands on some powerful weaponry thanks to some allies he's made in a new alliance. They call it 'The Society', but Grodd is merely the newest member. He's not the leader like he would have you believe. We've only been able to identify a few of The Society's members: Deathstroke-"
"Prick."
"Hyena-"
"Isn't he dead?"
"Captain Cold-"
"Loser."
"Captain Nazi-"
"THAT GUY'S STILL ALIVE!?"
"(L,N) and Dent, one more of those outbursts from either of you and you're both dead." Waller said. I looked over to Duela who looked at me. We both had the expression of "wait, they were saying the same things as me?".
"And Bane." Waller said finishing her list. "Deathstroke explains the weaponry and Bane's involvement almost certainly confirms the involvement of Bird, Zombie, and Trogg as well. I don't need the whole group and all of Grodd's Planet of the Apes Army dead, but I want most of them dead and all of their weapons destroyed. The weapons are the priority. If we killed half the army, that won't stop them from shooting every man, woman, and child they come across with half the men. But if we take out their supplies, they won't be able to go to war. What I'm saying Squad is if gorillas are in Metropolis within the next 72 hours, no matter how many soldiers they have, you're all dead."
"Alright, we'll be taking two different jets. June, Croc, Frost, You're with me and Katana. (L,N), Duela, Boomerang, Diablo, Quinn, You're with Lawton." Flag said ordering us.
"Why do I have to have Boomerang?" Deadshot asked.
"Because I don't want him." Flag said. "Alright, Squad, Move!" He ordered us.
"I'll see you later, Snowflake." I told Frost.
"To hoping we don't die, Bullet Boy." She said as she walked away with Flag. Wait, was that her nickname for me?
Honestly, best part of this place is I got complimentary duel submachine guns.
"Well you two started getting along nicely, eh?" Boomerang asking me, nudging my shoulder making me smile.
"Boomerang, stay away from my boy." Deadshot ordered Boomerang as we got onto the jet.
"What!? He's gotta have friends, don't he?" Boomerang asked defensively. I sat down on the first seat I saw.
"He can make better friends." Deadshot said sternly.
"Yeah, like me!" Duela said sitting next to me and putting an arm around me.
"No. Not like you." Deadshot said.
"Yeah, he was talking about me!" Harley said sitting on the other side of me. Deadshot groaned in annoyance. Boomerang looked at us amazed.
"Lucky bugger." He muttered.
"Dad, I've kept good care of myself and Zoe for the past 6 months, I don't think I need you telling me who I can and can't be friends with." I told Deadshot.
"Wait, 'Dad'?" Harley said before examining me. "You don't look like a 16 year old girl."
"I'm not actually his kid. I was adopted by him when I was 12. My parents were killed in the fight between Superman and Doomsday that went around the world. I found out he was Deadshot and I forced him to teach me how to shoot. Now I'm the best marksman in the world." I said.
"Ouch! That one's gotta sting, eh, mate?" Captain Boomerang asked Deadshot before Deadshot kicked him Square in the balls. "OW! ME GOOLIES!" He shouted as he fell onto the floor.
"Watch it, kid. I still never miss." Deadshot said.
"Neither do I. But I bet you can't do this." I said pushing my hand through the wall.
"Damn, I think Lawton's been replaced." El Diablo said.
"Maybe I won't be the one Waller gets rid of for being useless." Boomerang said still on the floor holding his balls. Deadshot took off his sniper and aimed it at Boomerang.
"You wanna bet?"
"I wouldn't do that." I said as I aimed one of my wrist cannons at him.
"You wouldn't shoot your old man."
"I wouldn't, if he didn't turn me in to Amanda Waller and leave a 16 year old girl without a family and if he wasn't threatening to kill one of my friends." I said. Deadshot put the gun away.
"Thanks, mate." Boomerang said as he got off the floor.
"Man, talk about daddy issues." Duela said.
"Aren't you the Joker's Daughter?" I asked her.
"Yeah, but I've never seen him so we've never had problems."
"That's BS, Duela. Your dad isn't The Joker." El Diablo said.
"Until you can prove otherwise, he is." Duela said.
"Wouldn't you know if she was or not?" I asked Harley.
"Why? She ain't even five years younger than me so she can't be mine!" Harley said.
"Well, I mean, aren't you dating Joker?"
"That cheap suited clown ain't my lover no more!" Harley said defensively.
"Speaking of girlfriends, you got one?" Duela asked me.
"Nope. I was always looked at as a weirdo in my school and my profession means the only other girls I really see want to throw me in jail."
"Cool. I dig weirdos." She said as she leaned closer. All of the sudden her eyes widened and she screamed in pain as she fell off the seat.
"Whoops. Dropped my mallet." Harley said while glaring at Duela.
