A few days later, the group had grinded enough to make themselves quite formidable in the game. They had done plenty of quests and met many villains and heroes both NPC and player. A quest popped up on their HUDs entitled: 'Suicide Squad'<br/><br/>"Sounds ominous..." Lisbeth commented.<br/><br/>"Wonder how they'll incorporate players in this...?" Zach muttered aloud as Asuna turned to him and asked: "You know what this is gonna be about, right?"<br/><br/>"Yep! Task Force X, commonly referred to as the Suicide Squad. Basically a woman named Amanda Waller has a bunch of prisoners from Belle Reve penitentiary kidnapped and has tiny explosives implanted in their bodies. They send 'em on a secret off the books mission that is basically suicide in exchange for, if they survive of course, time off their sentence or rewards of some sort. If they disobey an order or try to escape...the bombs are detonated and the explosives blow their head off."<br/><br/>The group stood there in stunned silence with their mouths open in shock. "You weren't kiddin...that's pretty dark." Klein commented.<br/><br/>"It's usually depicted as a lot less dark than the actual premise." Zach shrugged.<br/><br/>Yui piped up, "He's right. My data suggests this will NOT be very dark or dreary despite what it's about."<br/><br/>When they accepted they were treated to a cutscene:<br/><br/>A black woman in a business suit and a no nonsense attitude was shown: Amanda Waller. "I want to build a task force of the most dangerous people in the world. The worst of the worst...they can have an opportunity to do some good. They die in the process no big loss, they fail we throw 'em under the bus."<br/><br/>"So it's a win-win?" A government official who was meeting with her asked. They proceeded to be shown quick rundowns of each to-be member of Task Force X.<br/><br/>"Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot. The man has never missed a shot in his life, they say he CAN'T miss." They saw Deadshot on a rooftop talking into a cellphone with his 'client'.<br/><br/>"Hey my account's lookin mighty empty right now. Your boy down there is about to start singing like a canary and you'll have the Feds all over your ass." Deadshot said.<br/><br/>"You take him out now or else--" The man on the other end said.<br/><br/>"Okay then, double the price for being a prick." Deadshot said as the man on the other end swore at him and proceeded to transfer double the already steep price.<br/><br/>Deadshot smirked underneath his helmet and took aim with his wrist gun and shot at an object on the street. Amazingly, the bullet ricocheted off it and into the back of the squealer's head.<br/><br/>Next up was Harley Quinn aka Harleen Quinzel. She was shown as the Joker's psychatrist in Arkham Asylum who he manipulated into falling in love with him so he could be free and use her.<br/><br/>He was shown at Ace Chemicals where he threw her into the vat of acid that had turned him into the Joker in the first place. She emerged with the chalk white skin and blue and red hair..and they laughed together insanely.<br/><br/>Killer Croc, a man with a skin disease which formed scales on his body. He was treated so cruelly and driven into the sewers where he found a taste for human flesh by feeding on plumbers and sewage workers.<br/><br/>Captain Boomerang. A bank robber who used trick boomerangs and was taken down and thrown in jail by the Flash.<br/><br/>Slipknot, a man who used ropes and grappling hooks.<br/><br/>Finally the most powerful metahuman known since Superman: June Moone aka Enchantress. An archaeologist who wandered into the wrong cave and freed the spirit of an immortal witch and became possessed by her.<br/><br/>"How the heck can you control that one?" The government agent asked.<br/><br/>"Simple. I have the Witch's living heart in this case. All I have to do is poke at it with a sharp object, and she knows that I can destroy it at any time....and kill her for good. So she'll play along."<br/><br/>"Who's gonna keep them in line?" Another government man asked.<br/>"Colonel Rick Flagg, a man who lost his entire squad in Afghanistan. He'll jump at the chance to lead even a group like this to redeem his honor and status...and he'll have no problems with using the bombs if necessary. He's fallen into depression and drink....but we get him back on his feet and he'll be ready and willing. And even if he's not...there's one thing that's keeping him under my thumb: He's in love with June. The woman who switches between the Witch and the mild mannered archaeologist girl."<br/><br/>They were shown a Spanish man covered in tattoos who possessed fire abilities: "El Diablo, he can create fire out of thin air..he was born with this power. It seems to be controlled by his emotions, he suffered a tragedy and turned himself into Belle Reve."<br/><br/>The group was suddenly dressed in Belle Reve's security uniforms and found themselves next to a guard who was handing Floyd some sort of unrecognizable cornbread that looked moldy. "What the hell is this?" Floyd peered through the slot in the door at the guard.<br/><br/>"THAT....is your lunch."<br/><br/>"You're kidding...." Floyd answered.<br/><br/>"Nope...it's got all your nutritional ingredients like mold....toenails...." The guard said without breaking eye contact with Floyd.<br/><br/>Lawton went silent before giving them a death glare, the guard in particular: "I swear to almighty god....I'm gonna get outta here one day....and I'm gonna rain down on you..like the mother****ing holy ghost."
