Fire And Water (Suicide Squad FanFic)

Final Battle

They walked along the streets, an air of confidence and defiance surrounding the entire group. They stopped at the edge of a building and Captain Boomerang threw one of boomerangs around the corner. It had a camera on it, and they all looked at the feed from his phone.
"We think that thing's a weapon. Here, lower." Flag instructed, Boomerang zoomed in only to see The Enchantress's brother wipe out the boomerang, he sighed and threw his phone to the ground.
"We gotta take out the big one." Deadshot stated.
"I left a big ass demo charge down there in that subway. There's a flooded tunnel... Leads right underneath that building. Seals, they can recover the charge, swim underneath that thing's feet. We get in it's face and distract the hell out of that son of a bitch so the swimmers can blow the bomb. That's how we take it out." Flag explained, they all went into a building, preparing for their final battle. KC walked up to the soldiers.
"I'm going with you." he growled out.
"We got this." one of them responded.
"I'm not asking, brah. I live underground. Y'all are just tourists." he continued and stripped off his jacket before diving under water. Flag, Harley, and Deadshot were all checking their pistols and rifles. Captain Boomerang was sharpening one of his boomerangs, Demetria was trying to hold in her powers, harnessing them for later use. Katana was talking to her sword.
"The man who killed her husband used that sword. His soul's trapped inside of it. She talks to him." Flag explained.
"Hey. Well... You know what they say about the crazy ones." Boomerang commented.
"Huh?" Harley said, looking around everyone.
"Let's do this." Flag said and they all began following him. They walked through the subway station that was torn apart and damaged, ammo shells covered the ground, and a few bodies lay here and there.
"You must really love this girl." Deadshot stated to Flag.
"Man I thought love was bullshit, dead serious. Desire, mutual benefit whatever. I mean, I get that, but... actual love? I mean, I rated that with UFOs. A lot of believers, no proof. And then I met June." Flag explained.
"Do what you got to do. I got your back." Deadshot stated. As they continued walking on, Demetria could feel the fear radiating from El Diablo, because it was the same fear he could feel radiating off of her. Deadshot walked up beside El Diablo.
"You gonna fight with us?" he asked him.
"What if I lose control?" El Diablo asked in response.
"Then maybe we'll have a chance." Deadshot finished. Demetria gripped El Diablo's hand gently, squeezing it ever so slightly, to silently show that she had faith in him. They finally reached The Enchantress's 'lair' of sorts.
"Duck in." Flag said and the group lined up behind pillars.
"Hey, everyone can see all this trippy magic stuff right?" Harley asked, sounding a bit scared.
"Yeah, why?" Flag asked.
"I'm off my meds." she explained easily. Causing Demetria to giggle under her breath beside her.
"That's your old lady, huh?" Deadshot asked Flag.
"Yeah."
"Well, you need to handle this shit, alll right? Get up there, smack on her ass, tell her knock this shit off."
"I do not think that'd be wise. I'm gonna draw out the big one. My boys will detonate the bomb underneath him." Flag responded.
"You know, we should get a drink sometime." Boomerang said to Katana, before a mystical voice called out to the group.
"I've been waiting for you all night. Step out of the shadows. I won't bite." Enchantress said slowly. Harley shrugged and began walking out from behind the pillars.
"What the hell? Grab her." Flag said, Deadshot pulled her back.
"Why are you here? Because the soldier led you? And all for Waller? Why do you serve those who cage you? I am your ally. And I know what you want. Exactly what you want." Enchantress stated, then began pushing visions into all of the groups heads.
Deadshot saw himself shoot Batman.
Harley pushed 'Normal' on the dryer, her hair was plain blonde, and in big curlers. A baby sat in her arms. Joker walked in, his hair dark brown, his face tanned, his lips showed a slight pink tinge. He kissed Harley before walking over to a second baby in a highchair.
Flag saw himself in bed with June, she was normal, it was all a bad dream.
Demetria saw herself, living in her apartment with Tara. A child in her arms. Chato walked into the room, tattoos still covering his face, because she loved him exactly the way he was, she would never change him. "Daddy!" the baby cooed and Chato grabbed him from Demetria's arms before sitting on the couch next to a sleeping girl, Demetria following, planting a small kiss on Chato's cheek.
El Diablo saw himself home, Demetria sat curled up pin his lap, her large belly making it slightly difficult. His two children on the couch next to him. His ex-wife walked in, "Come on kids, you'll come back to daddy next week." she called, the children ran over to El Diablo and kissed him, before running to their mother and walking out of the house. Demetria smiled and leaned forward, "Your kids are so sweet, I love them. I can't wait for ours to get here." she cooed before kissing him passionately. El Diablo picked her up off of him, standing up violently.
"I can't change what I did! And neither can you!" El Diablo yelled as he came out of his vision.
"He married me." Harley said, shocked to the core.
"It's not real." El Diablo said as he walked up to her.
"I killed the bat." Deadshot said in awe.
"No, homie, you don't want that." El Diablo went on.
"What? I want that." Harley stated.
"She's trying to play games with you, man. It's not real!" El Diablo yelled.
"He's right. It's not real." Flag said sadly. Demetria stood where she had been the entire time, looking down and wishing that dreams really could come true. El Diablo ran out from behind the pillars, Demetria and the rest of the group following him.
"How long have you been able to see?" Enchantress asked El Diablo.
"My whole life. You can't have them. These are my people right here." he answered.
"But it is our time. The sun is setting and the magic rises. The metahumans are a sign of change." she responded magic flowing all around her like silken sheets.
"Lady... You are evil!" Deadshot yelled, pointing at her for a brief second. She turned and called for her brother.
"Oh, wow!" Deadshot said in awe.
"Uh-oh." Harley stated.
"Oh bullocks." Demetria said, fear creeping up in her.
"Who is this?" Boomerang asked in a high pitched voice.
"It's gonna be bad!" Flag yelled.
"We should run." Deadshot stated. They began shooting at him until his tentacle-like arms headed towards them, they all ducked to avoid being hit by them. Then they all ran for cover.
"Gq, come in. We're in position. We gotta get him in that corner. That's where the bomb will be." Flag stated as Captain Boomerang threw a boomerang into the monster's chest, it merely disintegrated.
"I'll do it! I'll get him there!" El Diablo said.
"No!" Demetria interjected. Just then Katana cut off one of the monster's hands, saving Boomerang's life. But his hand simply grew right back.
"I lost one family. I ain't gonna lose another one." El Diablo yelled.
"Look, think it through." Deadshot reasoned with him.
"I got this." he responded.
"Chato. Please, I don't want to lose you too." Demetria pleaded.
"Let me show you what I really am." he said lowly, he brushed a lock of orange hair out of Demetria's face before running towards the monster.
"Over here!" he yelled as he shot fire out of his hands onto the monster. It kicked him and he went flying through the air.
"Chato!" Demetria yelled. Deadshot began shooting at the unnatural beast before it kicked him too, and then Harley and Boomerang who were headed towards it. Demetria ran forward shooting discs of pressurized water at him, they cut right through his body, but the cuts simply rehealed themselves. He kicked her once she got close enough, sending her sailing into one of the pillars, hitting her head and collapsing onto the ground. El Diablo reappeared, in his true form, pure fire. A devil's head, he was astonishing. He began attacking the monster with everything he had.
"Rick, in position. Standing by." One of the soldiers said from under the building.
"Diablo, drive him into the corner!" Flag yelled. He began pushing him towards the corner, his hand melted through his chest.
"Get him mate." Booerang cheered him on. Demetria was just getting back onto her feet, she was dizzy, blood was saturating her hair, turning it a dark red.
"Yeah, do it!" Deadshot yelled. But El Diablo's powers were fading, the monster was gaining control. It wrapped it hand around El Diablo's neck, and began choking out his fire, until he was human again. Demetria was staggering towards the group.
"Diablo, get clear! Get out of there!" Flag yelled.
"Blow it!" El Diablo yelled. Flag looked around the group, no-one wanted to kill El Diablo, Demetria disintegrated into her water form and slowly glided along the floor, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
"Blow it." Deadshot said sadly.
"Now GQ, now." Flag stated.
"No!" Harley yelled.
"Everybody down!" Flag yelled, Demetria had covered El Diablo's body as much as she could in her water form. The bomb exploded, killing the monster, and both Demetria and El Diablo went down in the hole with him. Enchantress screamed. The group were all looking at the hole sadly.
"Where's Demetria?" Boomerang asked frantically, looking all around.
"I saw some water rolling towards El Diablo before the blast." Harley said sadly.
"No...." Boomerang whispered out, his heart dropping in his chest.
"You next." Deadshot said to Enchantress, who was just getting back to her feet.
"My spell is complete. Once you and your armies are gone, my darkness will spread across this world. And it would be mine to rule." she stated as she finished her weapon and it began destroying the satellite's up in space, and laying waste to all the secret facilities around the world.
"You got a move here, Flag?" Deadshot asked.
"We gotta cut her heart out!" Flag yelled back. Enchantress seemed to have heard this, as she transformed back to her musty, grime-covered self and began attacking the group. She would disintegrate and reappear in another place before anyone could see her.
"While we're fighting, that thing is laying waste to the whole damn world." Flag stated, pointing to the weapon she had built.
"Where is she?" Flag asked.
"I don't know." Harley answered.
"Hey. Oh shit. Look out, look out!" Deadshot yelled as she reappeared and came after him with two swords. The fighting commenced as KC climbed out of the hole and joined the fight.
"Uh-oh. Sorry." Harley said as she hit Enchantress in the head with a bat and it didn't phase her. Enchantress kicked Harley, sending her flying across the floor.
"Flag!" Deadshot yelled, blocking a sword that was meant for Flag, saving his life. Finally after KC threw her she reappeared where she stood before.
"Enough!" she yelled, jerking all of their weapons away from them.
"Of all who have faced me... You have earned mercy. For the last time... Join me... Or die." She threatened.
"I'm not much of a joiner but... Maybe we should." Harley stated.
"Hey. She's trying to take over the world." Deadshot stated.
"So? What's the world ever done for us anyway? It hates us." she responded as she walked slowly towards Enchantress.
"Hey. Harley." Deadshot called after her, but she didn't listen.
"Hey, lady? I lost my puddin'. But you can get him back, right?" she asked Enchantress.
"I can, my dear. Anything you want."
"You promise?" Harley asked.
"Yes, child. You need only bow... And serve beneath my feet." she answered slowly, as she walked down towards Harley.
"I like what you're selling, lady." Harley said and began to bow.
"There's only one teeny problem." She went on as she wrapped her hand around one of Katana's swords.
"You messed with my friends." she finished as she stood and cut into Enchantress's chest, and ripped out her heart.
"Her heart's out! We can ends this." Flag stated as he grabbed his bag and pulled out a bundle of explosives.
"Hey, Croc!" Flag called, handing the explosives to him.
"Harley!" Deadshot yelled. She reached down and grabbed her pistol, throwing it to Deadshot as KC threw the explosives into the mechanics of the weapon. Deadshot had to fight a vision of his daughter that Enchantress sent to him in order to shoot the explosives pack, blowing up the weapon. The floating ring of trash fell from the sky.
"That was a great shot, man." Flag stated as she pulled Deadshot in for a hug.
"Hey, I don't do hugs. I'm not a hugger. I'm not a hugger. All right?" Deadshot said, pushing him away. Boomerang reached under a bench and grabbed her heart.
"Let me join my brother." Enchantress begged katana.
"Katana, no!" Flag yelled.
"Give me that." Flag stated as he took Enchantress's heart from Boomerang.
"You bring June back. You bring her back." Flag ordered, holding the heart out in front of Enchantress.
"She's not coming back." she answered.
"I'll crush this. Do you hear me? You bring June back or I'll crush this!" Flag threatened.
"Go ahead. You don't have the balls." Enchantress taunted. Flag gritted his teeth as he crushed the heart in his hands, Enchantress falling to the ground, dead. Flag began walking away, his one trued love gone.
"Hey, Flag." Deadshot called, as the body of Enchantress suddenly moved, she wiped mud off her face revealing June.
"June." Flag said as he hugged her close and kissed her.
"She's gone." June said happily.
"I thought I killed you." Flag stated.
"I thought I killed you." June responded. They began kissing again.
"Y'all don't mind. I got me a sewer to crawl back into." KC growled.
"Yeah, and I got some business to handle back in Gotham." Deadshot said, handing Harley's pistol back to her.
"I'm going to hotwire a car, need a ride?" Harley asked.
"Your ass is not driving." he said with a chuckle.
"Why not?" she asked. Suddenly Amanda Waller came walking towards them, holding out her phone. Their faces still on it, able to detonate their bombs at any second.
"How are you not dead?" Deadshot asked.
"We-we just saved the world. A "thank you" would be nice." Harley said accusingly.
"Thank you." Amanda said very forced.
"You're welcome." Harley said happily.
"So, we did all of this and we don't get shit?"
"10 years off you prison sentences." she answered simply.
"Nah, that's not enough. I'm seeing my daughter." Deadshot stated.
"That can be arranged." Amanda stated.
"An other requests?" she asked.
"An Espresso machine." Harley said excitedly.
"BET." KC growled out.
"10 years off a triple life sentence? Darling, I'm walking out of here a free man. Or we're going to start having some real fun." Captain Boomerang threatened. Amanda hovered her thumb over his face.
"Why don't have some fun?" she asked. They all realized they had to go back to prison.

Unaware to everyone, Demetria had reappeared out on the streets, carrying El Diablo in her arms. Tears streaming down her face, his body was badly burned, she could feel his heart had just stopped beating. Her clothes reappeared as she laid him across her lap, she turned her hands into water, and ran them over his entire body as she sang.
"Fire burns and water soothes. Please help me heal what I can't lose." her voice was soft and angelic, her tears were crystal clear and flowing down her cheeks, her shirt glowed brighter than ever with the power of the oceans she was summoning. Demetria watched sadly as nothing appeared to be happening.
"Fire burns and water soothes. Please help me heal what I can't lose." she sang one last line, her hands retreated back to human, and she held his head in her arms. Slowly the burns began retreating from his body, revealing his tanned skin, not so much as scarred. His chest heaved as his heart began to beat and he began to breathe. Suddenly his eyes opened, he looked up to see Demetria smiling down at him. He got to his feet, and pulled Demetria up with him. They looked at each other for a moment, before their arms wrapped around each other, their bodies colliding, and their lips meeting in the most passionate, desperate, kiss.
Demetria and El Diablo took the opportunity of everyone thinking they were dead, and ran with it. They went back to her apartment and got all of her belongings. A very excited Tara was with them as they headed for England. Returning to Demetria's home, where they could live together in peace, and harmony.
