Chapter #6

I walked along the cell hallways with the worst criminals held in their cages. Some were intimidating but the others were just upgrade thugs.

The guards then led me to the elevator which led us to the lower floors. Here the most dangerous villains who committed unimaginable atrocities were held captive.

The security was tight and the cameras rolled every second to monitor any movements. The guards pushed me around as they led me to my cell made up of translucent bulletproof glass. They unchained my cuffs and then locked the cell behind me.

I swept my eyes around the cell and noticed that the beds were at opposite corners.My eyes then settled on a chocolate skin guy with a long beard and a square physique. His nose was stuck under a book.

The book had a kid's title,'Burnt Beetle' which was abnormal to see a grown ass man read a kids genre.

"You look surprised mate. Never seen someone like me ain't ya?" The beard guy lamented with his nose still sunk under the book. Maybe he noticed me staring at it to much.

"Well don't be surprised. This's my daughter's favorite book and she loves reading it." The guy added.

" Ooh! Where are my manners? Am Floyd Lawton it's nice to have another member join the house." He closed the book then sat at his bed.He stretched his arm to great me but I just ignored it and remained silent.

"Well whatever, you seem like an unfriendly fella." Floyd suggested drawing his hand away.

If I had a good memory I remembered that Floyd Lawton was none other than Dead shot himself.

This guy was a true prodigy of an assassin, his marksmanship was what led him to be feared in the villain department.

"Well mate you don't seem from around here. Never seen you before."

"Yeah you haven't." I answered.

"Then how about I give you food for thought. If you wanna survive in this fucked up world you ought to make a few friends little shadow." I twitched a little after I heard the statement 'little shadow'

How the heck did he know I was with the league of assassins?

"I know you are wondering how I came to the conclusion you are with the league of shadows but it's nothing too fancy considering I had some few contract with Ras and I got into some quarrel with him time to time." Floyd muttered.

"And how would you know that he hasn't killed sent me here to settle a score."

"Well if he sent you, then to tell the truth you wouldn't have walked through the vault of the cell without your body lying lifeless on the ground."

I didn't like the sound of his tone. It's like he saw me as a no threat. Many have underestimated me and met their doom but all in all I sensed that he meant no harm.

He was quiet talkative and we chatted for a little bit, maybe the loneliness made him all chatty.

Suddenly, I heard the front door beep and then open as a few guards marched through to our way.

They had a doctor and the guards were armed to the teeth. They cuffed the both of us and escorted us out of the hallway full of maniacs.

Then I and Floyd stared at each other as we read each other's mind. We had the same idea. Floyd had unlocked his chains and attacked the guards.

I followed suit and helped him in knocking them out.

"Want some help with tho...?" Floyd wanted to help me get rid of the cuffs but he was left agape when he saw them fall of my arm wrists.

" Well I guess you didn't need any then." Floyd commented looking a little impressed. I knew my out of things thanks to intense training the shadows made me go through. Maybe I have something to thank Ras for.

I then looked back and I wanted to knock out the doctor but Floyd held me down.

" Get out of my way paps." My voice was deep and full of clarity.

" You can't do that to an old man he possesses no harm." Floyd said.

"It never occurred to me for you to show any mercy. Aren't you not a killer?" I asked with spite.

" No not a cold blooded killer but a contracted one. I don't kill if it's not for the cash." Floyd answered but before we could continue with our arguing, the doctor injected us with a syringe and we both lost our consciousness.

I opened my eyes slowly, the injection must have had some kinda of anaesthetic. I heard the sound of someone calling me, my sight was still hazy and my mind was all foggy.

Then I looked to the side where the voice came from. It was Deadshot

I noticed that he was tied to a steady chair.

There were others in the room, around six of them. I recognized some of them but the others were a fleeting memory.

The room was all white and lights up, then I heard the alarm for opening the door ring. It was Amanda waller with her mean stare and cold eyes.

"For some this may be your first mission but for others they are used to it." Amanda lamented as she walked around us with her hands resting behind her back.

"You are Task force X or famously known as the suicide squad. You all have a chip embedded inside your neck. The chip will explode if anyone of you tries to act freely out of my orders." Waller added.

"Yahtzee! My pudding likes things when they go all kaboom." Harley then chuckled.

From the looks of it you could say that this bitch looked crazier up close than in the comics.But without her makeup I could really say that she was a pretty one.

"As you all know you are going on a mission to retrieve me a specific card." The lights went off and a screen scrolled from the top with a picture of a card. To me it looked just like a normal card with no special effect.

"What does it do?" Deadshot asked but Amanda answered coldly.

"You don't need to know it's purpose, that's not your business."
