"Let me introduce myself, my name is Amanda Waller, an agent of the United States government, Warden of the superhuman prison Belle Reve, and head of the Suicide Squad."
Belle Reve Prison's nickname was Dream Prison.
Amanda Waller glanced at the laptop Barbara Gordon had closed, "Theoretically, your actions have already violated the law, but you are anxious to save your father, so I can pretend I don't know about this time."
Barbara Gordon was not intimidated. Although she was young and inexperienced, she was very smart.
This woman named Amanda Waller could investigate her so thoroughly, it was impossible for her not to know that she was already paralyzed, but she still came, and the only skill she currently possessed that was unaffected and presentable was her hacking ability.
"You want me to work for you?" Barbara Gordon asked directly.
Amanda Waller shook her head, "Not working for me, but for my people, for the country, for this World."
"This World has many dangers that ordinary people don't know about, superhumans, magic, alien creatures, etc. What I need to do is find them in advance, determine if they are dangerous, and if so - deal with them!"
"The Suicide Squad was formed specifically to deal with these dangers!"
"They are all superhuman criminals with special abilities. Instead of letting them waste their abilities in prison, it's better to use their abilities to protect the people and the country!"
"At the same time, as long as they can complete the mission, they can also get a certain chance for sentence reduction."
Amanda Waller coughed lightly.
Before long, there was a knock on the door, and then someone came in and placed a more professional laptop in front of Barbara Gordon.
Barbara Gordon opened it in confusion, and the screen clearly showed the scene near the abandoned amusement park, while also showing a team on standby.
Amanda Waller said, "As long as you agree to provide technical and intelligence support to the Suicide Squad, I will allow you to command this team to rescue your Father!"
Barbara Gordon did not hesitate for too long and agreed directly.
Firstly, she was anxious to save her father, and having a team under her command would greatly increase the safety of her Father's rescue. Furthermore, this team's objective was the purest; it was to recruit her and rescue her Father.
Secondly, Amanda Waller's recruitment made her feel that even though she was paralyzed, she wasn't a useless person who couldn't do anything; she still had the ability to shine.
Finally, she needed power. She wanted revenge, she wanted to kill the Joker, and she wanted to get her photos back from Harley Quinn and the man named Samuel.
Barbara Gordon gave herself a new codename, Oracle, and then took over command of this team under the name Oracle.
However, she didn't start the operation immediately.
She knew very well that this operation was not only about whether she could safely rescue her Father, but also a test, or rather, a trial from Amanda Waller.
Barbara Gordon first checked the team members' profiles.
Benjamin Turner, codenamed Copperhead, a top martial arts master, was originally a World-renowned mercenary. After being captured, he was imprisoned in Dream Prison and became a member of the Suicide Squad.
George Harkness, codenamed Captain Boomerang, possesses first-class combat skills and superb boomerang throwing techniques. He was captured during a diamond heist, imprisoned in Dream Prison, and became a member of the Suicide Squad.
Eric Needham, codenamed Black Spider, is a skilled fighter and marksman, originally a professional assassin.
Mark Desmond, codenamed Bombshell, was originally a chemist. To enhance his physical strength, he researched a potion that gave him extraordinary power and endurance, but also damaged his intelligence, turning him into a simple-minded brute.
Louise Lincoln, codenamed Killer Frost, can manipulate ice and absorb heat. After being captured several times for causing chaos with her abilities, she joined the Suicide Squad.
Pamela Lillian Isley, codenamed Poison Ivy, was originally a shy female college student who loved plants. After being chosen as a test subject by botanist Jason Wood, her body was injected with plant Toxins. Surviving the ordeal, her blood was almost entirely replaced by chlorophyll, and she gained the ability to control plants and secrete hormones to control others. She is an extreme environmentalist.
After reviewing the team members, Barbara Gordon remained outwardly calm, but was inwardly very shocked.
Copperhead, Captain Boomerang, Black Spider, and even Bombshell were acceptable; no matter how strong their combat ability, shooting skills, physical fitness, etc., they were still within the range of 'ordinary people'.
But Killer Frost and Poison Ivy had already left the realm of ordinary people; they were true metahumans with superpowers!
Especially Poison Ivy, she was born and raised in Gotham, but she had never heard of her.
What did this indicate?
It indicated that Amanda Waller's intelligence network was incredibly powerful, not only able to know about Poison Ivy's news and abilities immediately but also able to quickly seal off related information afterward.
After her surprise, Barbara Gordon felt even more confident about this mission.
After a brief thought, she immediately began arranging the operation.
"Poison Ivy, use your plants to scout the situation in the amusement park, especially James Gordon's location."
"Black Spider, Copperhead, infiltrate the amusement park. Be careful not to be discovered by the Joker."
"Everyone else, stand by in place and be ready at all times."
"Who are you?" Black Spider asked in the team channel.
Barbara Gordon said, "Oracle, the Commander of this operation."
"Oracle? Never heard of you! Amanda Waller, are you sure you want this guy to command? He's just a crazy Joker, that's all. If you ask me, we should just charge straight in. With so many of us, can't we rescue a Director?"
Black Spider's dismissive attitude actually represented the attitude of the other team members.
To them, the Joker was just a crazy, pretentious 'clown' with no real ability, and there was no need for such a fuss.
Even Poison Ivy, who was born and raised in Gotham, didn't take the Joker seriously in her heart. After all, before becoming Poison Ivy, she was a good student, and she was caught not long after becoming Poison Ivy. Besides, she wasn't very interested in anything other than plants.
Amanda Waller did not respond to Black Spider. She looked at Barbara Gordon with an aloof expression.
Barbara Gordon secretly pouted and said directly, "Black Spider, this is the first and last warning. I hope you and everyone else understand that I am the Commander of this mission. There is only one thing you need to do, and that is to obey orders."
"Otherwise—you know the consequences."
