Suicide Squad (Billdip au)

Chapter 9

(Dipper pov)

We stand outside the bar as Flag lays out a map of the subways on the hood of a car. "The enchantress is is going to be here." He points to a spot on the map. "But the main concern will be the big fellow."

"Well, you're an army guy.  You have explosives?" I ask tilting my head slightly.

"Why?"

"Well if he got the guy in one area and blew him up then that would be one problem solved."

"Only problem with that is the bombs would have to be placed under here." He points to another area on the map. "And the only way to get there is completely flooded." After a minute of thinking about it we all look at Killer Croc, all of us having the exact same idea.

...................................................

We all stand outside the subway enterance, checking our weapons as Killer Croc goes to plant the explosives where we discussed. I look over at that japanese girl Katana and see her talking to her sword and crying. "Why is she doing that?" I ask Flag who's standing next to me.

"Her husband was killed by that sword, his spirit trapped inside. She talks to him when she gets scared in extremem circumstances." He puts the magazine back into his rifle. "Let's go."

We all follow him into the subway enterance and all take cover behind various pillars. I peek around my pillar and see a beautiful woman, dressed in an outfit that looks completely from another time period. On her right stands this tall ass figure that I can't really explain in words and in the front of her is this giant glowing pillar. I duck back behind the pillar, holding my pistol in a two handed grip. "I know why you have come here." The woman's voice fills the entire room. "Fighting me is an endless battle that will just result in failure. Join me instead, and I guarentee you anything that your hearts can absolutely desire."

A bright white light fills the room causing me to close my eyes for a few seconds and when I open them, I'm no longer there. I stand in the middle of a kitchen, my favorite song playing on the radio as a little baby boy in a high chair makes a mess of his cherrios. I look and see another version of me, putting dishes into a dishwasher as he holds a baby girl in his arms. His hair is just the normal brown color, no sign of the blue dye like I put in mine, and there are no signs of tattoos on him either. After a quick look around I realize that this isn't just a safehouse like the places I ususally stayed in for a couple weeks. This was an actual home, where he felt safe and didn't have to run from the cops or anyone. On the wall I actually see his diploma from college.

"Honey, have you seen my keys?" A familiar voice from behind me makes my eyes tear up. I turn around and see Bill, but he's different. His hair is still yellow and so is his suit but he's carrying a briefcase and his hair actually looks showered and brushed for once.

"Did you check your pockets?" The other me says."

"Of course I-....oh." He cuts himself off as he takes a pair of keys out of his pocket. The other me just lightly chuckles. I try to put my hand on Bill's arm, maybe make him actually realize that I'm here, but my hand just goes through him. This is nothing more than Enchantress showing me what I want. But she isn't wrong, I love Bill and all his craziness. But this is the kind of life I've wanted with him ever since he first kissed me. Bill walks over to the other me, wrapping his arms around 'my' waist and kissing 'my' cheek. "What would I ever do without you." He says before softly kissing 'me'.

"NO!" I get pulled out of the fantasy and back into reality, hearing Diablo's voice and realize that tears are streaming down my cheeks. "That is nothing but a lie!" He says snapping us all out of our fantasies.

"I want that, fantasy or not." I manage to say.

"No you don't. It's nothing but a trick." He steps out of hiding and fires flames at the big guy but big guy just kicks him through a wall.

He gets up again, saying some words in Spanish as flames surround him and he turns into this giant flaming skeleton thing. He and the big guy engage in a fight, him kicking the big guy's ass and getting him into the corner where the explosive is and we all try to help him, those with guns firing our various guns at the big guy. It seems to be going well until Diablo turns back into his normal self and the big guy has him down on the ground by his neck. "Diablo, get out of there!" Flag yells at him.\

"Blow it!"

I try to run over to help him but Deadshot grabs me holding me back as Flag activates the explosives, destroying the big guy and Diablo, the resulting explosion flinging us all back against the wall.
