The day after the end of the last chapter.

(Ryan is currently in & out of sleep in his bed & he seems to be having a bad dream.)

(Currently in Ryan's Nightmare.)

Ryan: Aargh...NO WAIT!

???: YOU KILLED ME RYAN!

Ryan: I didn't mean to you wer-

???: I NEVER HAVE HAD A CHANCE!

Ryan: I'M SORRY!

???: YOU'RE SORRY?!? A LOT OF GOOD THAT DOES ME NOW RYAN!!

(Ryan is now on his knees, crying, hands in his face.)

Ryan: (Sob)(Sob) Is there...is there anything I can to make it up to you?

???: Yes there is something you can do.

Ryan What!?! I'll do anything!

???: You must pay for what you've done...WITH YOUR LIFE!

???: You don't deserve to live after what you did!

Ryan:You're...you're right. You're absolutely right.

???: Of course I'm right Ryan. Here.

(Hands Ryan a pistol.)

Ryan: I'm sorry.

???: I know you are. NOW DO IT!

(Ryan puts the pistol against his head but hesitates to pull the trigger.)

???: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!? PULL THE TRIGGER!!

(As Ryan is just about to pull the trigger an alarm goes off over the speakers.)

Speakers: BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Ryan: Ugh, another nightmare. This would happen on the day where I'm supposed to meet my new squad mates.

(Ryan walks over to his bathroom, washes his faces, & is now talking to his reflection in the mirror.)

Ryan: Okay Ryan you got this. You've got nothing to worry about. You're only about to meet some of the most dangerous supervillains on the planet & you have to work with them or else Amanda Waller is gonna blow your head off. (Begins to stress out a bit.) Just breathe Ryan just breathe. Maybe my squad mates are nice & we could all be friends...fingers crossed.

(There's a knock at Ryan's door.)

Guard: I'm coming in. Morning inmate.

Ryan: My name is Ry-

Guard: Don't care inmate shut up & put your suit on, mission briefing is in an hour. Come out when you're changed.

(The guard walks out of Ryan's cell.)

Ryan: Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. (Now staring at his suit.) I never thought I'd see let alone wear this thing again.
(Puts his suit on.) Stills fits, I haven't worn this since...yeah, let's not think about.

(Ryan walks out of his cell & sees the guard waiting for him.)

Guard: Alright inmate, let's get moving.

Ryan: Y'know since I've got my speed back I could just carry you to where the squad is?

Guard: How about no.

Ryan: Okay, just a suggestion...
