Amanda Waller was a real bitch. A few hours prior you had been in your personal minding your own business. It wasn't the best life, but nobody was trying to kill you at the time. You were called for some kind of mission in the middle in metropolis of all places, but of last thing you remember was an oddly colored smoke being piped into the room. Now all you can feel is the rumbling of whatever vehicle you were in. The first sound you recognizably pick up was...Blues. I'm gonna shoot you right down...Right off your feet. Boom Boom Boom Boom...The music was coming from the front driver'seat which was blocked off. You all had some of your equipment...nothing that could easily destroy the plane obviously, but you were mostly free to move around as a sign of trust. Assuming you were conscious enough to pick up that many clues you could tell you weren't alone in this...airplane cabin. The most pressing matter was that surrounding you were some of the deadliest bastards to ever walk the face of the Earth; Bane, the mysterious mercenary who always seems to have a plan Cheetah, the arch nemesis of Wonder Woman herself Deathstroke, the ageless assassin without equal Red Hood, a young little runt with limitless talent and a penchant for not shutting up Backlash, a Renaissance man nobody could pinpoint Captain Cold, the leader of Central City's Rogues Ebon, a super powered gangster looking to be on top and Sportsmaster, an aged gun for hire who would happily snap your neck whilst reciting a one liner if you offered him an AARP card. Surrounding you were some of the deadliest bastards to ever walk the face of the Earth...and for the moment you had no idea why Waller had decided to stuff you all onto a single engine cargo plane. |

Bane had been sitting down quietly as he observed his team members around him. He immediately knew some of them from previous encounters in his past. Cheetah he had just worked with not too long in that prison mission which was successful so Bane was happy he had somebody on the team he had at least trusted and knew a working relationship could be established. His eyes immediately flared up in anger as he saw one of the Bat's son. Rumor was from one of his former informants who used to work for Joker as one of his goons it was the dead Robin Joker killed and last he heard he almost killed his mentor Batman which made Bane smile. Deathstroke he knew all too well and honestly everyone knew who the hell he was. The man who had was considered the best assassin on the planet. Bane shook his head as he realized he trusted none of them but Cheetah. Even then he knew to keep Cheetah at bay. Bane had already decided he would work with these allies only to get the job done and nothing else. He knew better then to trust anyone of them. Bane shifted in his seat and looked toward the direction of Deathstroke. Bane grinned though as he figured it wouldn't do him any harm to try to get a feel for what members of the team would be trouble and what other members would not be a problem.
Bane looked to Deathstroke first.
" Tell me Slade. How did Waller get the so called best assassin in the world to join this team? "
Bane then turned to Red Hood.
" Aaah...you...The man who almost killed Batman. Oh so I heard. I remember the day I broke the Bat's back and took over Gotham. Tell me...How is Batman and Gotham these days? Hmm? What are you doing here? Gotham became too much for you?"
Bane laughed as he attempted to get a bit of information on both men but also didn't mind poking them to see how they would react to him.

Slade sat up and looked around the room. His entire time in holding the only people he had seen was Sportsmaster, Copperhead, and if memory served him Catwoman. Out of the three only Sportsmaster was here. Slade could still feel whatever drugs were in his system but they were dissapating. While sitting there he began to check over his equipment. Leaning closer to Croc he asked, "How ya doing?" While waiting for a response Bane addressed him and feeling chatty; at least enough to prode the group for info, he obliged. Not revealing everything he answered Bane, "Waller and I have known each other since before you were born. Knowing her the way I do, don't underestimate her. She will blow that implant in your neck if she feels you cross her and not think twice of it."
Seeing Cold, Slade gave a slight nod of acknowledgement.

As Backlash woke up, he quickly took stock of his surroundings without opening his eyes. Noting the sounds coming from the other inmates as well as the ambient sounds from their vessel.
After a couple of moments he opened his eyes and looked around, going over his erstwhile teammates while recalling what he knew about them.
Once Bane and Slade started talking, he couldn't help a snort of amusement at their attempts of manipulating their prospective teammates while asserting their own dominance.
"Seems like the Wall threw her net far and wide, to get such a... diverse selection of individuals."
A faint smile appeared on his face as he talked, amusement easily audible in his voice.

Looking up from polishing his sword Slade asked, "What's your name stranger? Can't say I've ever seen you around, which is rare for me."

Red Hood turned towards bane, "Batman's fine given you never finished your job. As for Gotham, well it's the same dump it's always been." Red Hood answered before proceeding to ignore bane entirely and go chill in the corner and observe the team.

He gave a nod towards Slade, acknowledging both him and the question.
"I guess we don't quite travel in the same circles, mercenaries typically doesn't mingle with the soldiers who are fighting for a cause."
He gave a half-shrug then continued speaking.
"As for your question, you can call me Backlash."

"You had best remember that name everyone, he will be your field leader for this operation" called out the familiar growl of Waller. There was an intercom somewhere in the room it seemed and she had spoken plain for everyone to react to. Cheetah snarled, minding her own business, wary of everyone inside. Sportsmaster was in a bit of a better mood, openly happy to see Wilson. He acknowledged his fellow mercenary, and he explained that his nose had recovered. He watched out for Bane, but at Backlash's comment he chuckled.
"Mystery man has you there Slade". He also seed to not take Waller to seriously, waiting for the other shoe to drop in terms of info.

If anyone in the room was skilled enough to spot Ebon at first glance, lurking in the shadows as he was, he'd be a bit impressed. As it was, he blended perfectly into a corner of the room, standing by with a serious demeanor and a critical eye. When Waller mentioned the leader of the squad, Ebon's only reply was to scoff and eyeball the man skeptically.
"Let's get one thing straight," he spoke in his trademark dual toned voice. "Anyone that tells me when to jump better hope I don't land on them." His words were sharp, somewhat reverberating. "The name's Ebon, and I don't play well with others."
He realized this wasn't exactly the way to make friends, but that wasn't why he was here. To every end is a means, but he wouldn't become an inferior to a lowly human.

Looking over at Backlash Slade stated, "You may be the leader of the mission but don't confuse yourself and think you can tell me what to do. I'll have your back but you'll have to earn my respect. Very few have that privilege." As Slade finished those last words he patted Sportsmaster on the back and looked at Bane.
Looking in Ebon's direction, "Son, before you forget your place here let me let you in on something. Judging by what I have seen, your power uses darkness or shadows. I have a flash grenade bright enough to make even Superman blink. I'm sure it would probably hurt a good bit to you. With your powers you have a lot going for you, learn discipline first."

" How little does he know of me and my arrangement of with Waller. Better for me.""AAH...So before I was born you have always been Waller's lapdog Slade? Very good to know. " Bane snickered as he turned away from Slade having been satisfied with the answer Slade gave him as whether he knew it or not it revealed to him more information then Slade realized. " I definitely have to watch out Slade. The fact he has known Waller for so long is disturbing. Who knows what type of deal or partnership they may have." Bane turned away from Slade and glanced at Red Hood not surprised he barely said a word to him. " Smart boy. I heard he was a chatter box but that could be a act. The boy like the Batman revealed little and moved to the background to observe the rest of the team quietly without being noticed. I bet like the Batman he is unpredictable and I need to be on guard with him like I need to be with Deathstroke. "Bane turned to Backlash his Team Leader with great interest. " Aaah Backlash our Team Leader. This is interesting. If Waller choose you to be Team Leader that means she must think highly of you. Hmm....More then Deathstroke apparantly.... Regardless of how long they knew each other....." |

"Let's get one thing clear Bane. I am no man or woman's lap dog. You'd be wise to watch yourself. I'd hate for you to get left behind.
Waller and I used to work together. That doesn't mean she won't stab me or anyone else here in the back, no matter what she promised you."
Slade the began to check his rifle and all the magizines.

Waller's voice chimed in a second time, starting with the shadowy figure and going down the line.
"So sorry Ebon, I swear that file was kept extra secret...shouldn't be too much of a problem though if you all can put differences aside. Dick measuring contests stay inside the chopper, Slade is 100% correct. The second I think one of you is hampering the team, you have until I decide to press a button to get things back on track. None of you need a demonstration I trust? Backlash is my eyes and ears on the ground, if he gives an order you would do well to follow it unless I say otherwise...but if he makes a mistake, his head pops off just as easily as the rest of yours". Crock rolled his eyes towards Deathstroke before checking his own equipment, making sure it'd collapse and extend when it was supposed to.

Bane smirked and shook his head as Waller's latest response. " Not surprised one bit Waller. You always think you have the upper hand....You forget nothing ever goes right on these missions.... I can't wait to see what happens next..."
Bane finished his thoughts as he started to check his equipment as well and wondered when they will get the mission details.
" Are we going to get any heads up about this mission? Or is this another one of your hit the ground running and get details as we go along type of deal Waller? "
