Mortem {suicide squad}

iv

The group and finally reached their destination. It was a large skyscraper with glass windows instead of exterior walls. Rick lined up his men outside the building, guns pointed, ready to kill on sight. Deadshot scoffed at the set up and decided to walk into the building instead. Nyx looked to Waylon, who was beside her, and shrugged, following Deadshot. Rick was not used to soldiers not following orders and demanded they get back in line. Instead, the pair continued walking, sensing no danger, Nyx stepped inside the facility. Rick, realising that they wouldn't obey him, walked after them, signalling the rest of the group to follow. "Mind if we join?" He muttered to Deadshot, who shrugged. The group started towards the stairs, but Harley and Nyx walked to the elevator. They stepped in together and pressed the 2nd floor button. 

"I'm Nyx, by the way." She said shaking Harley's hand. "I love your clothes, where did you get them?" Harley asked, eying Nyx up and down. "Oh, there not mine."

 She smiled, thinking of her guardian bat, "Batman buys them for me." Harley looked like Nyx had slapped her. "You know him? And he buys clothes for you!" She asked, flabbergasted. "Yeah, we used to be good friends once." Nyx looked out of the glass walls of the elevator, eyes widening in shock. "Look out!" She screamed and pushed Harley out of the way as a monster crashed through the window. Nyx put her hands out in front of her and pushed the monster out of the elevator, using her air powers. Harley stood up from where she was checked her hair in the metal. Blowing a strand back in place, she turned to Nyx to thank her, only to see another monster about to jump on Nyx. 

"Duck!" She screamed and flung her bat over Nyx's head, knocking out the monster. As Nyx stayed down, Harley quickly whipped out her phone and checked the message on there, it was from Mister J. She knew that he wouldn't leave her. As Nyx stood up, Harley quickly hid the phone. A ding before the doors opened. The rest of the group were standing, weapons drawn, ready for a fight. They were surprised to see both girls, completely fine. "Hi guys!" Harley said as she and Nyx walked off. When Nyx noticed no one else had moved, she turned back. "Come on. Let's go"

Nyx didn't like the feeling that went through her as they walked through the office. "Hold." Rick ordered and the whole group stopped. "I don't like this Flag." Deadshot muttered. "I don't like this either." He replied. Deadshot started pulling his mask over his face. "Pussy." Harley whispered and Nyx started giggling. "I will knock your ass out," Deadshot said, offended, "I do not care that you are a girl." This only caused Nyx to laugh louder, but her laughter was suddenly cut off as monsters started pouring through the roof. She instantly got into fighting stance, back to back with Waylon. She noticed El Diablo hid in the background again and sighed. She wanted to help him but Nyx shook the thoughts from her head. Right now, she needed to focus on fighting. Deciding to rely on her water powers again, Nyx called water to her. Unfortunately, Nyx couldn't get enough water to her to fight with. The space was way too crowed for her to use her air abilities and plants would only make it worse. Finding herself defenceless, she called out to the group, "Does anyone have a spare gun?" Apparently, no one heard her. So she sprinted through the separate fights, towards where El Diablo was hiding. He looked up as she approached. 

"Why aren't you fighting?" He questioned. "I can't," Nyx sighed slumping down against the wall, "I can't draw enough water here and the place is too crowed for my air powers to be useful. And plants would only make the area more congested!" Nyx's head hit the wall she was leaning on hard, sighing in frustration as she watched the others fight. "You don't have any other weapons?" El Diablo asked, confused as why she only relied on her metahuman powers. "No, I never needed them before. I could never kill that way, it's too personal." Nyx grimaced, "And if do kill someone innocent with a human weapon, I can't lie to myself and say I lost control."

 Most of the separate fights were over and Deadshot approached the pair. "Where were you?" He asked them, angry that they didn't help. "It's not my fight." El Diablo defended himself. "And what about you?" Deadshot turned to Nyx, getting in her face. Waylon let out a growl, upset that his new-found friend was getting attacked. "I couldn't use my powers." She said and turned to El Diablo, "If you choose to use your powers, I can help put out the damage." She whispered and summoned a small ball of water to her. He nodded and turned back to Deadshot. "You wanna see something!" He yelled in Deadshot's face. "Yeah, I wanna see something!" He yelled back.

El Diablo turned to the new wave of approaching monsters and shot fire out of his hands. Nyx saw he was starting to get out of control and quickly summoned two vacuums in her hands. She placed them over El Diablo's hands and the fire went out instantly. She then made a vacuum over the office fire, successfully putting that out as well. The rest of the group had come out into the hallway to watch El Diablo's powers. Harley walked over to El Diablo, kissing him on the cheek. The rest of the group walked towards the stairs, El Diablo turned towards Nyx as she dissipated the vacuums. "Thank you," He said. She smiled.

 "Let's not keep them waiting!" She joked, "Race You!" and took off running, her laughter filling the empty hall. El Diablo let out a laugh and chased after her, it had been a long time since he had laughed.
