Shaun and Katy are in Wong’s library. Wong is studying a holographic image of the rings and talking with Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner, who are linked in by 3D holograms. Wong notes that the rings are far older than they thought. Captain Marvel gets beeped and she takes off, saying that Bruce has her number if they need to contact her. She disconnects, and Bruce says he doesn’t have her number, she says that all the time. They discover that the rings act as a kind of beacon, sending a message somewhere. No one knows where, and then Bruce disconnects from the meeting. Wong then tells Shaun and Katy that their lives are now changed, and they should go home and get some sleep to prepare for their next adventure. Shaun and Katy agree, saying they should go home… OR… cut to Wong, Shaun, and Katy rocking out to Hotel California at a karaoke bar.

Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
