Chapter 332: Ch.331 Tour Activity

In the dark of the night, a helicopter carried the Suicide Squad and Su Ming to Washington, DC. An officially approved visit like this deserved an escorted ride.

"Tell me, Harley, which prison of the Task Force X do you like the most?"

In the cabin, the bored Su Ming asked the former psychiatrist who liked to talk.

Harley's answer did not surprise him; it was as rambling and off-topic as ever.

She said Belle Reve was too damp, Omega Penitentiary was stuffy, and the new Task Force X headquarters was too lonely.

If she could choose, she still liked that warm apartment in Gotham with the name that started with an 'A'. It always made her feel right at home.

Deadshot seemed confused. He had never received such treatment, as he was a mentally sane criminal. He had only stayed in Blackgate Penitentiary.

However, Harley, with the longest prison sentence of them all, still had a say. She was accused of 387 counts of murder, making parole almost impossible. She had broken out of prison countless times, only to be recaptured by Batman or the Justice League and locked up in many different prisons and asylums.

Except for the Justice League's Temporal Suspension Prison—a facility originally meant to preserve severely wounded heroes with the hope of treatment in the future.

But later, Batman discovered another use for it: imprisoning dangerous criminals.

Of course, Batman didn't plan to hand his enemies over to the Justice League. He'd rather keep Joker in his own dungeon.

And now, Su Ming was taking a group of former criminals to visit the Justice Hall to see Batman. He just hoped Barry wouldn't be too excited when he saw Captain Boomerang and Killer Frost.

Due to the government-sanctioned nature of the trip, the helicopter landed directly beside the fountain at the Justice Hall's entrance. The Hall gleamed with white light, even at night.

"So blinding."

Boomerang took off his hat, scratched his greasy hair, and covered his eyes from the light.

Katana hadn't said much all day. She was paired with Rick, and she wasn't happy that Su Ming had broken Rick's leg.

Harley didn't care about the others' reactions. She bounced into the Justice Hall, wandering through the spacious, bright hallways, enthusiastically looking at the heroes' uniforms.

Batman, Superman, Green Lantern—all of them.

There were many replicas of these uniforms, but in the back rows, several mannequins were empty. It was a message from the Justice League, encouraging more capable individuals to stand up and fight for justice.

Harley's eyes lit up when she saw this and she immediately started taking off her shirt, ready to strip her T-shirt, shorts, and stockings to dress one of the mannequins.

However, before she could lift her shirt all the way up, Martian Manhunter suddenly phased into view, his blue cape spreading like wings—he had likely been observing them in a phased state.

"Miss Quinn, taking off your clothes in public is rather improper. Even though it isn't open to the public right now, we do have 24-hour surveillance here."

"But my old uniform is still back in Gotham?" Harley replied, her face full of confusion. She wanted her outfit to stand alongside the heroes, after all.

The Martian Manhunter couldn't read Harley's mind—it was full of chaos and madness. But the situation was obvious, and J'onn didn't need telepathy.

"These uniforms are displayed here because of the deeds of their owners. If you want your uniform here, you need to do more for the world."

"Do more for the world..." Harley tilted her head, seemingly understanding a bit. She decided she would help Red with tree planting in a few days, covering the world in greenery.

Red had told her a lot about the importance of reforestation, and to Harley, that sounded like the best thing for the Earth!

Seeing Harley stop taking off her clothes, J'onn turned his gaze to the others.

"Welcome to the Justice Hall. This is a place where anyone with a heart for justice is free to visit. I hope I will see you all here often."

Deadshot ignored him completely, while Captain Boomerang sneered outright.

People like them couldn't even think about tomorrow, let alone the future.

J'onn floated slowly to the ground, looking at each person. But from the minds of the Suicide Squad members, he couldn't extract anything useful. The only thing he could gather was that Su Ming had obtained command of the Squad, and they were all acting under orders.

And today's orders were to visit the Justice Hall.

Even someone as smart as J'onn couldn't guess Su Ming's motives without any intel.

But J'onn was very tactful. He believed Su Ming's intentions would reveal themselves over time, so he didn't question Su Ming's motives. Instead, he chose to give them a tour.

Su Ming looked at Harley's pale stomach and sighed regretfully. If only J'onn had shown up a few seconds later...

But that was secondary. He was here simply to wait for the unknown force to attack the Justice Hall so he could help the Justice League at the critical moment—and pave the way for future extortion opportunities.

J'onn was very knowledgeable about the items displayed in the Justice Hall. No matter how bizarre something was, he could explain its history.

However, the tour was mainly Harley asking question after question, and J'onn patiently answering all her strange and fantastical questions.

Su Ming kept an eye on all corners and different directions throughout the tour, but there was nothing unusual.

The Hall was as quiet as a stagnant pond—completely different from the day's activity.

No matter; he now had sufficient clearance. As long as they stayed with him, Amanda wouldn't detonate anyone's head, so even staying in the Justice Hall posed no concerns.

Only Su Ming knew the entire plan, and he was immune to psychic abilities. Martian Manhunter must have felt quite frustrated.

Maybe they should call out Diana to try a beauty trap?

But Diana's approach to charm wasn't like that of ordinary women. Su Ming had experienced the Amazon women's way of showing affection back on Earth -11.

It would probably involve arm wrestling, weightlifting, or hunting fantastical creatures.

"J'onn, why don't we head to the cafeteria? We haven't had dinner yet." Su Ming called out to J'onn, who was explaining the purpose of a peculiar weapon, suggesting they find a place to rest.

Harley, who had been engrossed in the museum-like tour, immediately raised her hand in support upon hearing the mention of food.

"Of course. Our Justice Hall cafeteria is open 24 hours, though there might be others dining there. If anything unexpected happens, please exercise restraint."

Martian Manhunter planned to find Batman soon, and leaving the Suicide Squad in the cafeteria seemed like a good idea.

Su Ming laughed loudly and removed his helmet. "I'd love to see who dares to mess with my squad. Those boy scouts? Deathstroke's course is always open for new students."

J'onn sighed. That was exactly what he was worried about.
