"Miss Blackburn?"

Amanda Waller called out looking around the cluttered workshop scanning the room. Stacks of papers, sketches and unfinished tools, weapons and other various items adorned the walls tables, workbenches and even the floor.

Amanda tutted. This girl was probably the messiest person she had ever known, but the girl was extremely skilled; especially for her age, so she couldn't really complain. After a series of bangs, crashes and a few whines a young woman in her twenties hurried out of the back room, her inky black hair messily flowing down her shoulders, tendrils of it hanging in front of her eyes and hiding her green orbs from sight. Unlike the majority of A.R.G.U.S workers she was wearing casual clothing; a grey v neck t-shirt and faded black jeans, more appropriate to her job than a pencil skirt or a suit.

She set down the various scraps of metal and equipment in her arms on an already cluttered table with a loud clank, sending a few diagrams to the floor. Amanda grimaced at the noise and the girl grinned sheepishly.

"Sorry, my bad"

Amanda waved a passive hand at her.

"Where's your assistant Kaelie?"

A frown puckered on Kaelie's forehead and she ran a small calloused hand through her hair, pushing it back to make her facial features visible.

"She should be checking the stats of task force x, she's supposed to around this time everyday"

"Except she's not, she didn't turn up for work at all"

This made Kaelie pursed her lips and frown. It was odd, Lola was never absent and was always one of the first to arrive at the building each day.

"I'll call her" She suggested reaching for her phone.

"You don't think we haven't tried that already" Amanda replied sharply in her no nonsense tone and Kaelie put her phone back on the desk folding her arms.

"Anything you want me to do then?"

Amanda sighed before responding.

"We're following it up, you can help us by doing her job and collecting those stats and then continue development"

"Okay, anything else?"

Amanda paused in thought before flickering her gaze over the mess that was Kaelie's workspace.

"Try to tidy some of this up"

"Kay" She nodded, agreeing to do so, though tidying up most likely meant shoving things into large piles.

"That will be all Kaelie" Amanda shook her head and left the workshop.

Kaelie switched her contacts for a pair of thick framed black glasses and pinned her loose hair up with what looked like two silver chopsticks. Scooping up her tablet she stepped between the clutter on the floor and left the workshop punching a combination of numbers into the keypad, locking the room during her absence. A security guard was waiting outside the room for her, waiting to take Kaelie to the cells.

"So Lola is missing?"

He asked and Kaelie shrugged following him down a set of corridors.

"Seems so"

The security guard nodded.

"So you're taking over her jobs for today then?"

"Yup"

"That sucks"

Kaelie grinned. "Not at all, I mean what girl wouldn't want to spend some time in a cell with a bunch of bad boys"

"Be careful with those guys by the way, they are criminals"

Kaelie patted his arm.

"I grew up with 3 brothers, can't be that different"

The security guard chuckled shaking his head. When they arrived at the cells the security guard came to a halt, Kaelie doing so too, silencing the clacking sound of her heels touching the floor.

"I'm going to have to take all weapons from you, safety precaution"

Kaelie nodded, already pulling various weapons from her belt and unlooping the electrum wire from her arm.

"All done?"

The security asked with a raised eyebrow, after she had ridden herself of numerous weapons leaving him with a surprisingly large pile of her toys.

Kaelie nodded giving him a cheshire cat grin.

"Don't judge, it's part of my job remember"

"Right, you're the weapons girl"

"Exactly" She beamed fluttering her eyelashes.

The security guard unlocked one of the cell doors and Deadshot leaned against the frame, peering out and over to Kaelie. He frowned pretending to be disappointed.

"What is this? Bring a kid to work day?"

He tried to irk Kaelie but she just rolled her eyes in response. She was aware she looked very young, she was one of the youngest at A.R.G.U.S after all, but it didn't bother her one bit.

"Funny"

She retorted, sarcasm dripping from her tone as she stepped over to him, raising an eyebrow at him and placing a hand on her hip as she waited expectantly for him to move. With an amused grin Deadshot slid away from the door frame, letting Kaelie inside his cell.

"Where's dear Lola?"

He asked with fake concern, causing Kaelie to raise an eyebrow.

"I'm filling in for her" She deadpanned scanning the room to see where to put her things. Her eyes stopped briefly on the photographs of a young girl on the wall, before she looked away, knowing she had no right to look through people's personal things.

"Good, i didn't like her anyways, she was a bitch"

"She's not a big fan of bad guys" Kaelie shrugged, remembering how often Lola would turn up to the workshop and complain endlessly about the group of criminals.

"I did get that feeling from her constant glaring"

He flashed a wicked grin at Kaelie. Remaining silent Kaelie began to set up on her tablet, her fingers dancing across the screen.

"What about you sweetheart?"

"Hmm?"

She said, half paying attention to him, not at all interested in engaging conversation with him, since she didn't really like to converse with anyone at work unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Are you a fan of bad guys?"

He asked her, mockingly using her words. Kaelie ignored him and began typing.

"Don't speak much do you dove?"

"Kaelie"

She pressed, not liking the terms of endearment he was using.

"Pretty name, don't get much Kaelies"

Pushing her glasses back up the bridge of her nose, she rolled her eyes and pulled a chopstick out of her hair, turning her back to him and reading from the tablet. Deadshot peered over her shoulder, trying to look at what she was doing.

"What is that?"

Kaelie clicked the top of the chopstick and a small needle popped out of the other end. Deadshot widened his eyes and then started laughing.

"Naughty girl, you're not allowed weapons in here"

"Give me your hand"

Kaelie ordered, grabbing his hand and turning it over so his palm was facing upright. She jabbed the needle into the centre of his palm, rather harshly, drawing blood.

"Ouch"

Deadshot winced flexing his hand and cleared the blood that had welled up from the tiny prick, smearing it on his shirt.

"Poor baby, did I hurt you? Sorry"

Kaelie teased putting her hand on her chest in mock sympathy before turning back to her work. She clicked the top of the chopstick and the blood covered needle pushed back inside. Placing it over her tablet she pressed a few buttons on the pad and a blue line scanned over the chopstick and it lit up a glowing orange colour, emitting a beeping noise. She snatched the chopstick back up, sliding it neatly into her hair. Her eyes scanned over the results on her tablet and she nodded to herself.

"Looks like we're all done here Deadshot"

Deadshot pouted.

"And we were just starting to get along"

The cell door slid open and Kaelie stepped out.

"Come visit soon Dove"

Deadshot said playfully blowing a kiss to Kaelie and waggling his fingers at her in a wave. Shaking her head Kaelie hid the small amused smile from her face. Her gaze soaked in the remaining occupied cells before she turned to the security guard.

"Okay so who's next?"
