suicide squad imagines

el diablo | 021

requested: imagine you are el diablo's wife and he's in prison. one of the guards tell him that you're in hospital but it's not true and he escapes just for you.

you and diablo had been friends since you were little. you met in school when you were partnered up with him to make a poster to go on the school's wall. you got along well and ended up developing a relationship during your high school years. you helped him with his powers that seemed to be getting stronger, you were the only one that knew about them.

after the first year of your relationship you realised you loved him and he realised he loved you, you didn't want to lose him. four years into the relationship he took you on a date which wasn't unusual as you two had weekly dates but you wasn't expecting him to get down on one knee and propose to you. a year after that the two of you got married in front of his and your family, you were the happiest you had ever been.

you had everything you wanted in life. a house, a good paying job and a loving husband, you were ecstatic. then, you received some news that chato had burned down a friend's house with his friend and his friend's kids inside. you were speechless. you knew how chato's powers had become stronger, and that it was getting hard for him to control them.. but you didn't know that it was this bad. you found out that he had been arrested at the scene and taken away to some prison far away from where you lived.

you were miserable, after spending all your life with someone it was weird not having them with you. you knew what he had done was an accident and was properly eating away at him. the thought of that made you worried, you wanted to cuddle him and tell him he shouldn't beat himself up about it but you couldn't. all you could do was sit at home and get on with your life without chato in it.

chato was sat in his water tank (a/n: i couldn't remember what it was called) that he was put in when he first arrived so that he couldn't use his powers because if he did, they could quickly put the fire out. of course chato had already vowed to never use them again but they weren't willing to take the risk. he was sat, cross legged with his head down like normal.

"hola amigo, we have some news" a guard called, banging on the tank.

chato looked up to see the usual guard, alpha 01. he didn't know his real name, he only called him alpha because it said it on his guard uniform.

"your wife, she's in hospital. real bad car accident, they don't know if she's going to make it" he told the tattooed man, sounding sorry for once.

chato heart race had picked, he hated the thought of you in pain if he wasn't there to help you. he almost cried knowing you could die but he didn't want to in front of the guard knowing he'd go away and tell everyone so they could laugh about it.

of course, the guard was joking. there was no car crash you were fine, he just wanted to get back at diablo for insulting him a couple of days ago. he walked away, a smirk on his face as he left chato alone with his scary thoughts. he couldn't think straight. what if you die? how did you crash? which hospital are you in? that's how he was for the next three hours, asking himself questions that he couldn't answer.

the same guard returned and diablo prepared himself for the worst, news that you had died. he soon relaxed when the guard told him it was time for a walk around. he hesitantly got out of the tank, and was led by the guard to the outside area where all the inmates went to.

"you guys i gotta tell you all something" chato announced to the others, "i'm going to escape this place. someone i love is badly hurt and i can't stay here without checking on her"

the others looked at him like he was insane.

"how are you gonna get outta here? there's a guard at every turn!" harley told him, crossing her hands.

"my fire power"

"i thought you weren't using that no more" floyd told him.

"when it comes to the ones i love i'll do anything. are you guys wanting to come or are you staying?" he asked, looking at each of them.

it was silent for a while, they all looked at eachother not knowing what to do.

"you can count me in mate, i've been wanting to get outta here for ages" digger laughed, happy he was finally going to leave.

everyone nodded in agreement, telling diablo they were coming with him. he returned the gesture, before looking around to see where the guards were located.

"alright.. you might wanna step back for this" he told them all as they happily obliged and walked backwards away from him.

he sighed, looking down not wanting to do it. but he remembered you.. and how you might be taking your last breaths and he knew he had to. he lifted his head up along with his hands, before screaming out in anger and using his power. the fire came out strong, reaching across the whole courtyard burning anyone in sight. once he realised everyone was dead or had ran, he turned to the others.

"alright you all stay behind me until we get outta here"

the rest of the mission went that way. he burned anyone that got in his way and successfully got everyone out of the prison unharmed. they all thanked chato, harley gave him a big hug whilst floyd patted his back before they all went their separate ways.

you were at home, watching some television whilst you finished doing some work. it was a boring day, you didn't have anything to do. your family had tried keeping you occupied since chato had been gone knowing if you were left alone all you would do is think about him. but today, nothing seemed to be happening leaving them no choice but to leave you at home. it wasn't as bad as you thought it was going to be, you did think about him but not too much.

you jumped as you heard banging on the door, you sighed before standing up and straightening your outfit out. you then walked towards the front door and opened it whilst tucking your hair behind your ear. you then looked up, expecting to see a family member or friend but froze on the spot when you came face to face with the person you least expected to see.

"a-are you really there?" you whispered, tears in your eyes.

"i'm really here baby"

and that was all it took before you threw yourself into his arms, burying your head into his neck whilst you cried. he pulled you closer, stroking your hair as he rested his head against yours.

"wait! what're you doing here?" you asked him, suddenly releasing he was supposed to be in prison.

"i was told by a guard that you were injured.. in hospital. now i know he was obviously lying which is good because i don't know what i'd of done if you were" he explained, making you smile at the thought of him escaping just for you. yes, you knew it was wrong but right now your were focused on having him back.

"uhh.. you haven't moved on have you?" he asked, looking in your house.

"what? of course not silly! i would never, i love you too much" you told him before connecting your lips.

he kissed you back with power, making you smile into the kiss.

"come on.. we have a lot of catching up to do" you winked, dragging him into your house.
