When saving the world becomes a job for the world's worst.
Scene 1: Belle Reve – Amanda Waller's Office
Waller lights a cigar in a dark, reinforced office. The room is empty except for a hologram of Elias tearing through Parademon remnants with a single Omega-infused sneeze.
Behind her, Deadshot mutters.
Deadshot:
"You really think bullets solve that?"
Waller (cold):
"Not bullets. Pressure. Distraction. Detonation.
And maybe… betrayal."
A screen flashes:
OBJECTIVE: Elias Black
STATUS: Meta-Human (Unranked)
THREAT LEVEL: Cosmic-Tier (Darkseid Class)
CONDITION: Partially Corrupted – Apokolipt Virus Confirmed
STRATEGY: Forced Internal Conflict
Waller:
"We don't kill him. We trigger him. Then we watch what happens."
Scene 2: Suicide Squad Briefing
Team:
• Deadshot
• Harley Quinn
• King Shark
• Peacemaker
• Katana
• Captain Boomerang
• Enchantress (tethered)
They're dragged into a tactical bunker beneath Gotham.
Waller:
"Elias is still human. That's his weakness. That's our opportunity.
I want you to get under his skin. Taunt. Attack. Exploit."
Peacemaker (chuckling):
"So… we're not saving the world. We're pissing off a god."
Harley (grinning):
"Oooh! Can I prank him? Maybe throw a cake full of kryptonite teeth or something?"
Waller:
"You annoy him enough—maybe you trigger something worse than his powers."
Scene 3: Elias on the Move – Justice League Surveillance
Back at the Watchtower, Elias walks through a training hall—monologuing to himself while casually floating upside-down.
Elias:
"Mother Box whispers like a nurse on caffeine. Batman still watches me like I'm a bomb.
I feel… incomplete. Like something inside me is… rearranging."
He stops.
Elias (to himself):
"I don't like feeling incomplete."
Suddenly—
ALARM.
UNAUTHORIZED AERIAL VEHICLE INTRUSION: EARTH ATMOSPHERE.
Superman looks up. Batman grits his teeth.
Batman:
"Belle Reve just dropped a Squad."
Scene 4: Suicide Squad Arrives in Ruins of Kahndaq
Elias lands alone in the center of a ruined city—the Squad surrounds him. Drones circle high above, broadcasting the feed.
Deadshot (aiming):
"We're not here to fight. Not unless you make it fun."
Harley (spinning mallet):
"So, you're like space Thanos but with better eyebrows?"
King Shark (munching something):
"Elias smells like god meat."
Peacemaker:
"You're about to get patriotic trauma therapy, omega man."
Elias (raising an eyebrow):
"Ah. Suicide Squad.
Walking punchlines with a death wish."
Scene 5: Elias Responds
He lifts his hand. The ground warps beneath them. Gravity folds.
Elias (annoyed, cold):
"You dare interrupt my glitchy redemption arc with cosplay murderers?"
His voice glitches, a side effect of the Apokolipt virus creeping through his system.
Elias (to himself):
"That wasn't me… was it?"
He shudders. The Squad sees it.
Boomerang:
"What's the matter? Got a bug in your brain, mate?"
Elias (snapping):
"I AM NOT MALFUNCTIONING."
He slams the ground. The air explodes in red energy. The Squad is flung backward like paper dolls.
Scene 6: Internal Warning
Inside Elias's system:
[Apokolipt Virus Thread]: "Trigger stimulus acquired. Rage levels: 78%."
[Infiltration Expanding]: +3.4%
The virus is learning.
And the Squad is unknowingly helping.
Scene 7: Suicide Squad Retreat – Mission "Successful"
Harley cackles, half-conscious.
Harley:
"Waller's gonna give us medals! Or blow our heads off!"
Peacemaker coughs up blood but grins.
Peacemaker:
"I think we pissed off the Anti-Christ. Job well done."
Back in the sky, Waller watches from a drone.
Waller:
"The fracture's widening. Keep poking."
Scene 8: Elias Alone Again
He kneels in the rubble, eyes burning, hands shaking.
The Mother Box pulses faintly.
Mother Box (telepathic):
"We are… barely delaying the rewrite."
Elias:
"They're trying to break me from the outside…"
He clenches his fist, Omega energy spiraling.
Elias (dark grin):
"…but the worst of me is already inside."
