Suicide squad: Poison Rose

Ch 10: Finally over, or is it?

All the villains walked out of the bar. Camellia sticking close to Harley. Her vines winding around her arms underneath her jacket, her plants hugging her to console her. Whispering assurances that they could do it. That they could finish this dumb mission and be free to sing, and dance and lay in the sunshine. Do whatever they wanted really. Be the princess of Gotham.

They stopped behind a wall. Boomerang threw one of his boomeraag's and they watched the video feed from the camera on a phone.

"We think that thing's a weapon. Here, lower." Rick ordered as he looked at the screen, pushing Camellia's head down because she'd popped up between the men wanting to see. The quick movement causing her hand to knock the phone out of boomerangs hand.

"We gotta take out the big one." Deadshot stated the obvious to Flag. Luckily they'd seen enough before Camellia's accident.

"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." Rick informed the group of villains. All of them hanging out near the subway entrance.

"I'm going with you." Croc told the seal team as they put on their gear.

"We got this." One of the agents replied, Camellia watching the exchange.

"I'm not asking, bro. I live underground. Y'all are just tourists." Croc replied.

Camellia ran up to him and grew him a new flower. A yellow pond lily. "It likes the water. Like you."

Croc patted her head tucking the flower next to the other one. Grinning to himself because now he had two flowers. "Stay green lil g."

With that said he dove into the subway after the divers. Camellia's attention was drawn to Katana as she muttered to her sword watching her as she walked back to Harley. "Here baby bud. Chewing gum helps ya brain think."

Camellia took the offered stick popping it in her mouth.

"The man who killed her husband used that sword. His soul's trapped inside of it. She talks to him." Flag told the group.

"She says if she dies in battle they'll be together again. Does that mean someone's gonna have to stab her with it if we see her go down?" Camellia wondered. "My roses say yes."

"Hold up, you mean to tell me that you speak Japanese?"Deadshot looked to Camellia pausing in his gun checking.

"My flowers translate. Plants know everything." Camellia replied. "Their language is universal."

"Hey. Well...You know what they say
about the crazy ones." Boomeraang looked pointedly at Camellia and Harley.

"Huh?" Harley looked up from her gun then down to Camellia. "You know what they're saying? I zoned out."

"Nothing important." Camellia replied as she pet one of her flowers that was starting to bloom. Only these flowers seemed to have thorn teeth like leeches.

"Let's do this." Flag spoke up leading the way. Camellia sticking close to Harley as they walked. Vines curled and ready to strike at a moments notice.

"We don't like this place. There's darkness here..." Camellia clutched onto Harleys arm. Her flowers shriveling in fear. She could feel it in her bones. Darkness, evil, death, it tinged the very air.

"Yeah, well it's too late to turn around. Keep it moving kid." Flag ordered her and Camellia hugged Harleys arm tighter.

"Don't worry baby bud. I'll protect ya." Harley promised.
