TASK FORCE Z - THE CONTEXT.

There is a lot going on with Task Force Z, and because @amring0 asked me if other comics were needed to be read in order to understand this one, I have decided to make this post that can redirect you to the comics that might impact this story. I will leave the links to these articles below but I will also put the most important information from them here.

I want everyone to be able to enjoy Task Force Z to the max! So here is some context!

Article 1.

“All the zombies on the new task force have been reanimated by "Lazarus Resin," first shown in Future State: Robin Eternal #1 as a substance drawn from the Lazarus Pits used by Batman enemy Ra's al Ghul. While a Lazarus Pit can restore a dead being fully back to life--as one did with Jason Todd before he became Red Hood--the Resin can be used to animate synthetic beings and reanimate dead ones. The substance was recently shown in modern DC continuity within the pages of Suicide Squad.

In Suicide Squad #8, the team went on a mission to Hell, one of its members, Culebra, dying on the trip by Sportsmaster's hand. However, the Squad returned to Earth with the souls of all its dead former members, and Culebra was restored to life by Amanda Waller with Lazarus Resin. Despite Culebra's return to the mortal world, Waller claimed that to continue living, Culebra would need more Lazarus Resin moving forward, meaning this could be the same case for the zombifies in Task Force Z.”

“The name Task Force Z was first name-dropped in Suicide Squad #1 by Rick Flag as he yelled at Waller, showing her connection to the new team. The team will be led by Red Hood after his capture in the backup story What the #!$% Is Task Force Z told in Detective Comics #1041, #1042 and #1043, and feature villains who died after the attack on Arkham Asylum in Infinite Frontier #0, such as Bane, with other dead Suicide Squad members like Deadshot set to return as well.”

Article 2.

“A-Day was one of the deadliest attacks in Gotham City history, as many villains lost their lives in an explosion at Arkham Asylum. The Joker has been blamed for the blast, but he's claimed innocence. The casualties included Bane, Film Freak, Bolt, Shrike, Jeremiah Arkham, and more inmates. Task Force Z was previously hinted at in the Future State: Suicide Squad, where Amanda Waller had a backup team if the main squad failed, featuring resurrected members of the Crime Syndicate. In the main continuity, it seems like Jason Todd will be the leader of the first version of the undead Suicide Squad-esque team.”

-

Future State: Robin Eternal

Lazarus Resin is shown in these books (#1 and #2) and what it is is explained in the panel below.

Suicide Squad #1 and #8

Task Force Z being name dropped and being associated with Amanda Waller.

This is Amanda Waller telling Culebra that in order to keep her alive she should still consume the Lazarus Resin. Culebra doesn't look as zombie-like Jason's teammates but it seems to work the same way. After all, in Task Force Z, Jason gives Bane a "treat" and that was actually Lazarus Resin.

What the #!$% Is Task Force Z

Three-part back up story to Task Force Z that is an absolute must read to see some amazing Red Hood content and a little bit of context to see why Jason is where he is in Task Force Z. Also, in that story we get to meet the amazing Deb Donovan, Batman hater and sass queen!

Infinite Frontier #0

Where A-Day is first mentioned and explained. Some villains were killed before the explosion and looked like Joker's work, others died in the explosion, ans some others were able to escape.

Future State: Suicide Squad

Amanda Waller mentioning a different group of people as the Task Force Z, but because this story is from a possible future we can estimate that Jason's Task Force Z was the first.

-

Well, that's all the context I can offer you for now, I hope this helps! If there are some things missing let me know!

Rage Becomes Him - Prologue: Homecoming

Dark!Rick Flag/Lazarus Pit!Rick Flag x Reader

Series Summary: After Colonel Rick Flag dies, Amanda Waller dumps him in the Lazarus pit and resurrects him. But she quickly realized that the soldier that had been sent to Corto Maltese to die was not the same one that walked out of the Lazarus pit. Loyal, friendly, patriotic Colonel Rick Flag was gone and in his place was a cold, rage-filled demon who becomes uncontrollable. And when he gets loose, his first stop on his revenge tour is Evergreen, Washington and a certain “hero” living there…

Author’s Notes: This series is gonna be DARK! There will be major character deaths and very mature themes throughout. Minors, this series is NOT for you, please respect my wishes and do not read this. I deserve a safe place to express myself just as much as you do. This series is based off of an idea I made in this post and then in this edit with encouragement from @edwardbaldwin and the amazing and spectacular @a-reader-and-a-writer​ who also came up with Dark!Rick’s vigilante name and beta read this for me. Thank you so much! Lovely dividers by @silkholland​

Content Warnings: DARK AND MATURE THEMES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORK! In this chapter: descriptions of violence and a canon death, near-drowning, the consequences of the military industrial complex, Waller being Waller which is a huge TW in itself, nudity, resurrection

Amanda Waller sat at her desk, staring at the files from the Corto Maltese mission. It had been a month since the operation and she was still furious. Of the fourteen members she had sent to the small island country, nine were dead, one had been placed in a coma in the hospital, and the other four had used a hard drive of sensitive government information to barter for their freedom, not to mention the handlers that had betrayed her and needed to be punished. She had already arrested one of them, sending the other two to work on a special project for her in Washington with the injured, but alive and still loyal member, still in the hospital. She didn’t care about any of the deaths, they were all expendable to her, including the team’s commander and only non-criminal member: Colonel Rick Flag. It was more the principle of the thing, four of her best recruits were now off-limits and the rest of her cannon-fodder had been used up in a single mission. It would take a lot of whatever desperate enough criminals she could get to sign up to equal even half of the four soldiers she had lost.

She needed something to offset this betrayal, a soldier that would be skilled enough to do what she needed them to do and loyal enough to not betray her like the others, at least until she could find enough powerful metahumans to fill out the team. Fortunately, she had just the person in mind: a highly skilled soldier that had been able to keep up with and even control the large team of metahumans despite being a non-enhanced human. His loyalty had always been steadfast and although he had slipped up during the Corto Maltese mission, it was nothing that couldn’t be easily rectified with a little conditioning. Unfortunately, he was deceased, his corpse still somewhere in the ruins of the Jotunheim lab.

She pondered the situation, considering how she could solve this “little” issue of him being dead. An idea struck her suddenly and she smirked. It was dangerous, not for her of course, and it was as of yet untested, but if it worked she’d have her perfect little soldier back and better than ever. She sent a message off to the workers clearing the debris of the destroyed lab to focus all efforts on retrieving the body from the rubble as soon as possible. Then she pulled up a file on her laptop, locating a phone number and beginning to dial on her desk phone. She sat back in her chair as it rang, a grin on her face when the line connected.

“Mr. al Ghul… I believe it’s time to collect that favor you owe me for keeping you out of prison…” she began, pleased with herself.

“Peacemaker, what a joke…” The words echoed in his head. It was his voice, but it sounded so far away. The world was black, there was nothing and he was nowhere.

“Peacemaker, what a joke…” There it was again, his disembodied voice floating from afar, but a little closer that time. The world was still black but for a moment, it wasn’t. For a moment, he was somewhere else, somewhere he knew but couldn’t remember. Gray dust. Rusted metal. Stained white tile.

“Peacemaker, what a joke…” Closer again. The flash was back, cutting through the black for a little bit longer and he could hear something. Grunts and groans. Water running. Porcelain scratching on concrete. Suddenly, he could feel. A metal pipe. Water on the floor. A red hard drive. Warm blood. A salty metallic taste in his mouth. Pain.

“Peacemaker, what a joke…” Closer again, this time as if it was right in front of him, ringing in his ears. Pain overloaded the other senses as the black flashed in and out, losing the battle. The pain was everywhere, radiating through every cell of his body. It was excruciating and he wanted to scream but nothing happened. The black seeped out and the flash became his world.

He was in the strange room with the dust, metal, and tile. It was the basement laboratory of a secret facility in Corto Maltese. He was seated atop a man, who struggled and grunted as a metal pipe is held down on his throat. He was going to kill the man, pushing down harder and harder as he struggles for air. Then a sharp pain in his chest, in his heart. The air was knocked from his lungs, the metal pipe falling to the floor. He looked down and saw a shard of porcelain lodged right into his heart. Warm blood was seeping from it. The man was looking up at him, a strange expression on his face. Regret? Pity?

“Peacemaker, what a joke…” he muttered and the man looked hurt. And then everything was black again…

And then it wasn’t. The world was blurry, distorted and a sickly green. He opened his mouth to breathe and found it filled with acidic liquid that burned his lungs. He breached the surface, spitting out the acid and taking a huge breath of air. It was stale but he didn’t care. There was a green glow to the liquid around him, and he couldn’t see anything through it. He tried to keep himself afloat so he could breathe but his body was slow to his commands and he felt heavy. A hand grabbed his arm, then another hand on the other and he was hauled upwards and dropped on hard ground. On his knees, he tried to catch himself by putting his hands out but only succeeded in falling onto them, the dirt clinging to his wet skin. The air was cold, he was drenched, and without clothes, he started to shiver immediately. He was still heaving in breaths, his eyes looking down at a small, jagged red scar on his chest, right on his heart. The green liquid still dripped from his body, a texture somewhere between water and slime as it pooled below him, turning the dirt to mud.

The clacking sound of heels approached and a pair of red shoes came to a stop just in front of him. Still panting and shivering, he pushed himself off his arms to look up at the figures he was kneeling in front of, two soldiers standing as straight as boards on either side of a woman wearing clothes suited for an office. He knew her but her eyes had a spark of twisted joy in them and her smirk felt more menacing than usual.

“Welcome back, Colonel Flag.” Amanda Waller said. “Your country needs you…”

my toxic trait is believing that James Gunn/DC are gonna give Rick Flag a fun little Red Hood arc. Like TSS 2 or Peacemaker Season 2 is just gonna dump my poor dead himbo in the lazarus pit and let him be an angsty lil anti-hero for a while

[mayhem24-7forever]

alright guys I will write a Lazarus Pit! Rick Flag AU because y’all loved my idea and edit so much lmao BUT I have to finish my Lose You Too series before I start so it will still be a few weeks (i’m writing chapter 5 of 10 now) so stick around for that. no clue if it will be just straight up Rick or if i’ll do a cheeky little x reader in there. i have an entire plot line already laid out for a Batfam tv show pitch i did in film school that i can tweak but also i kinda like that one the way it is? idk all of this is to say it’s coming! let me know if you have any preferences on if it’s just an AU or a slash fic

[mayhem24-7forever]

thank you for your encouragement, i will keep going.

Obviously it’s Waller who dumped him in the Lazarus pit, she needs him for a mission and thinks he’ll be eternally grateful to her for bringing him back to life. (surprise: he isn’t) Although Rick appreciates being alive again, (because dying sucked) knowing that Waller (and the government of the country he loved and literally gave his life to) used him as a pawn to hide their dirty deeds kinda broke him. He snapped and Waller quickly realized that the Rick Flag that had been sent to Corto Maltese to die was not the same one that walked out of the Lazarus pit. Loyal, friendly, patriotic Colonel Rick Flag was gone and in his place was a cold, rage-filled demon who’s first stop on his revenge tour is probably Evergreen, Washington and a certain “superhero” living there…

(bonus points if Rick gets a fun little mask and a vigilante/anti-hero name. I’m picturing the Takeshi Kovacs coat from Altered Carbon plus a mask and tactical gear)
