Rampage - Rick Flag (ON HOLD)

Chapter Two

Thana jolted awake to a sharp pain in her neck, airplanes and military personnel were all around her. She squinted as her eyes adjusted to the natural lighting. The guards unlocked her and the others from their chairs. The brunette stood up quickly, stretching her sore limbs. Her joints cracked at the new movements. She looked to her sides and saw Floyd, the infamous Harley Quinn, a dude with tattoos, and what seemed to be a giant crocodile.

"Hi, boys!" The queen of Gotham held her arm out, "Harley Quinn. How do you do?"

Rick and his military buddies ignored her as they stared the criminal's down. Thana cleared her throat, lowering Harley's arm, "Well, I'd just like to say thank you for your service."

Floyd nudged her arm, giving her a weird look. She looked at him, annoyed, "What? I may be someone who committed multiple mass murders but I'm still gonna respect the military."

"Huh?" Harley said suddenly, "What was that? I should kill everyone and escape?" She giggled. "Sorry. The voices." She smirked at the men, "I'm kidding. Jeez. That's not what they really said."

"What do got we got here?" Rick asked loudly, walking over to an Australian postal bag, "12 pounds of shit in a 10-pound sack." The squirming bag was dropped by the guards and Rick cut it open, "Welcome to the party, Captain Boomerang."

Thana looked at the bag confused as a man wiggled out of the opening. He punched the guard closest to him but was quickly subdued by two soldiers.

"Hey, hey, hey..." The aussie said quickly as the two soldiers forced him to stand with the other recruits, "What's going on, man?"

"Calm down." Rick said.

"Hey, one minute I'm playing mahjong with me Nanna. Then this red streak hits me outta nowhere." Thana scoffed at his pathetic excuse. Digger smirked flirtatiously and winked at the brunette.

Rick shifted, shielding Thana from Digger's gaze. "Shut up! You were caught robbing a diamond exchange."

"I was not." Digger said incredulously. Thana rolled her eyes as he approached her. Floyd stood behind her frantically motioning for him to stop. Digger ignored him and he twirled a strand of her hair around one of his fingers, "Well, hey there pretty lady."

She gave him a tight-lipped smile and kneed him in the groin. The aussie groaned in pain. He fell to his knees, holding his crotch.

Floyd chuckled and patted the injured man's shoulder, "I tried to warn you"

A black SUV pulled in and grabbed Thana's and the others' attention.

"Here comes slipknot" Rick said dryly, "The man who could climb anything. Wonderful."

A man in cornrows and what seemed to be armor stepped out of the car, punching the woman that was holding the door open. Thana grimaced, "Yikes"

The guards rushed to grab him. "She had a mouth." The guy said.

Harley giggled and Thana gave him a weak smile and nodded before turning to Floyd, with a concerned look on her face, mouthing 'What?' He shook his head and raised his hands defensively.

"Listen up!" Rick exclaimed. Thana turned to face him and straightened her posture. "In your necks...

Injection you got, it's a nanite explosive." Thana instinctively touched the back of her neck. "It's the size of a rice grain but it's as powerful as a hand grenade." He made eye contact with her, "You disobey me, you die. You try to escape, you die. You otherwise irritate or vex me-"

"We die," Thana interrupted. The colonel glared at her and she held his gaze, "What? Was I wrong?"

Harley raised her hand, "I'm known to be quite vexing. I'm just forewarning you."

"Lady, shut up!" Rick yelled. Harley pouted and put her hand down. "This is the deal. You're going somewhere very bad...To do something that'll get you killed. But until that happens, you're my problem." Flag smiled sarcastically, putting his arms out.

Floyd scratched his head, "So was that like a pep talk?"

"Yeah. That was a pep talk." Flag pointed to the chests, "There's your shit. Grab what you need for a fight. We're wheels up in 10."

Thana shook her head and walked away to her chest. In blood-red spray paint, "RAMPAGE" was spelled out on her chest. She smiled softly as she opened it, seeing the familiar burnt orange leather. She quickly changed into her shirt and pants, noticing people's stares, she looked up to see everyone looking at her and Harley. Thana self-consciously crossed her arms over her stomach, "What?"

Everyone started moving again and she breathed a sigh of relief. "What's wrong sugar?" Harley asked, "I'd kill for a body like that."

Thana smiled lightly, "It's not that I'm insecure, I just don't like people looking at me."

Harley held up a mirror and put on some lipstick, "Well, you're hot! Own that shit!"

"I'll try to remember that." Thana chuckled.

She went back to her trunk and put on her thigh and shoulder holsters. She placed two pistols in her shoulder harness, twelve throwing knives in her thigh holsters, and strapped two axes to her back. She looked back at the others and Harley pulled a massive mallet out of her crate, "Something tells me a whole lotta people are about to die."

"Yeah, it's us." Santana said, "We're being led to our deaths."

"Speak for yourself, mate." Digger gestured to Santana's face with a boomerang, "Hey, what's that crap on your face? Does it wash off?"

Thana sighed and sat on her crate. She really just wanted to be alone, everyone around her was draining her social battery. It wasn't them, she just felt overwhelmed and needed to decompress. But how could she, it's not like she could just kill everyone right now without her head being blown off her body.

She was brought back to reality by someone knocking on her forehead. "Hello? Is anyone home?" a shrill voice asked. Thana jolted back in surprise because of how close Harley's face was to her's. "Oh, good ya back. Come on sugar," She held her hand out, "Flag's gonna yell at us if we lollygag any longer"
