American comics: Today’s big news Chapter 096

“What about naming the team Harley Quinn?”

On the outskirts of Gotham Forest, Harley Quinn said to the women beside her.

Harley Quinn’s figure remained the same, but her skin had turned blue-gray. The Gray Rot had been extracted by Poison Ivy using violent means, allowing Harley Quinn to absorb it.

However, this meant that Zombie Grundy could no longer be a qualified puppet thug and could only become nourishment for Gotham Forest.

Faced with Harley’s suggestion, Poison Ivy adopted a nonchalant attitude, playing with the vines on her arm.

Catwoman Selina shook her head in disagreement:

“Why not call it the Catwoman Squad?”

“I… I think the Magician Combo is pretty good.” Zatanna weakly suggested.

Silk Cindy Moon remained silent. Her spider-sense had lost track of Connors, plunging her into unprecedented panic.

But Connors’ aura didn’t disappear completely, it was intermittent, like a bad signal.

When Harley Quinn found her and suggested forming a team to attack the alien lair, she was the first to stand up.

As for the team name, Cindy didn’t think it mattered.

“Harley, you need to think carefully. Leading the sisters to attack the alien lair is a one-way trip.” Ivy kindly reminded.

She learned from Harley Quinn that Connors had turned into a White Martian and was even more extreme than Harley, wanting to start a massacre immediately.

But Harley suggested finding a few more people to join forces. With the idea that more people meant more help, Ivy rarely refused.

“Ivy, you reminded me. Since anyone could die in this operation… well, except for me, I’m immortal now.”

Harley Quinn, carrying a large mallet on her shoulder, had a flash of inspiration:

“How about calling it the Suicide Squad?”

“As long as it’s not called the Harley Quinn League.” Selina nodded.

I still think the Magician Combo is better… Zatanna silently gave up on wasting too much time on the name.

Harley Quinn found Zatanna, who was worshipping her father, on the way back to Gotham and brought her back. The magician seemed to have lost her purpose in life and agreed to Harley’s plan in a daze.

Poison Ivy didn’t comment. Instead, she looked warily into the distance, and plants rose from the ground beneath her feet, lifting her body into the air.

In the distance, five or six thick tentacles rolled on the ground, rushing towards the edge of Gotham Forest where they were.

“Sisters, prepare for battle!”

Although they couldn’t see what was happening, the loud noise of the tentacles moving on the ground still reached the women’s ears. Harley Quinn gripped her mallet with both hands and shouted excitedly.

Zatanna was too lazy to even wave her magic wand. With a thought, she put “force field shields” on all five of them, and then used “levitation” to fly into the air.

As the tentacles got closer and closer, dark clouds gathered above Zatanna’s head, and lightning flashed.

After seeing her father’s body with her own eyes, Zatanna buried him in tears and finally discovered that the book of magic her father had recorded was hidden in her memory.

She was now finally a powerful magician, not just a stage magician who knew a few small tricks.

Cindy Moon clenched her fists, watching the tentacles that had appeared in her line of sight, ready to launch spider webs to create a giant net.

But the tentacles surged on the ground and stopped in front of the women without attacking, which was very strange.

Harley Quinn had the best eyesight and was the first to see the guy standing on the tentacles, exclaiming:

“Little P?!”

The visitor was Connors. After entering the White Martian smoke factory, he used the “Driving Master” ability to turn the factory back into tentacles.

And the tentacles in the meteorite were not living things, but carriers used by the White Martians to transport biological weapons and transform into factories—theoretically, the tentacles were vehicles.

So Connors drove the tentacles, and “amplified” spider-sense allowed him to discover the five women gathered together, so he hurried over.

He wasn’t here to 1v 5, but to take advantage of this opportunity to form the five people into a team.

“Connors?” Ivy also looked at Connors on the tentacles in surprise. How long had it been since they separated? Not even a day. Where did he get a tentacle that was ten meters long?

“How is it, am I handsome?”

Connors waved the tentacles in the air with a slightly smug look, asking them.

Women: “……”

They didn’t think there was anything handsome about the black tentacles with disgusting red spots.

“I sensed you gathering together and hurried here. What are you planning to do?” Connors asked Zatanna.

The magician was still dressed in fishnet stockings, a white shirt, and a black dress, but her strength seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds, and she was flying in the sky at this time.

“We’re going to save you and kill the aliens.” Zatanna said.

Connors: “……”

He had overlooked the mental impact of turning into a White Martian in front of Harley Quinn on this crazy beauty, so that after only one meeting with Harley, she had turned into a blue-gray skinned woman.

(Reference Lani’s skin color in Elden Ring)

“But now that you’re okay, that’s great. Do you know how worried I was about you?” Harley Quinn looked aggrieved.

Silk Cindy rolled her eyes. She didn’t need to rely on language and expressions to communicate with Connors. Spider-sense and body language were enough.

“It doesn’t matter, since everyone is gathered together, why don’t you form a team? How about calling it—Birds of Prey?”

Connors suggested.

Poison Ivy was still indifferent. She didn’t object to anything Connors said, and even wanted to take him to do something serious.

Cindy was even more indifferent about this. Zatanna muttered the Magician Combo in her heart, but since Connors suggested it, she had to nod.

“Why?” Harley didn’t understand why it was called that name.

“Because you’ve all played with my bird…” Connors said with a strange expression. Since there was no Black Canary, the leader in the comics, he just made up a reason for the name.

Harley Quinn clapped her hands and cheered:

“Little P, you’re so evil, but I agree with this name!”

Poison Ivy looked at Harley amused:

“If that’s the case, I think I, Poison Ivy, should be the ‘Bird of Prey’, not you.”

Selina and Zatanna thought of the scene of Poison Ivy blowing wildly and nodded in agreement.

“But, I’m not bad either?” Harley blinked her blue-gray eyes and retorted, “It should be called ‘Bird of Prey’ Harley.”

…Are they even competing over this?

Connors felt like he had led this group astray.

But it didn’t matter. In any case, the “Birds of Prey” was formed. Connors didn’t plan to direct their actions, letting the five of them do their own thing.

As for Connors himself, having witnessed the formation of the “Birds of Prey” and achieved his goal of watching the show, he was going to continue doing things—driving these five or six thick tentacles.

Just as he turned to leave, Poison Ivy suddenly stopped him:

“Wait, Connors, Harley has already absorbed the Gray Rot. Since you’re going to act alone, the Green should be stronger…”

After she finished speaking, she turned to the other four and said:

“You guys go first, I want to improve Connors’ strength.”

Harley Quinn didn’t suspect anything. Even if she knew what Ivy was going to do, she didn’t care. She skipped away with her mallet.

Cindy was covered by a mask, and her tongue subconsciously came out to lick the corner of her mouth, but she had just experienced a day and night of battle, and she wasn’t thirsty at this time.

Zatanna looked at Harley Quinn’s blue-gray skin and didn’t doubt Poison Ivy’s words at all.

Catwoman Selina’s body tensed. She instinctively felt that this was not simple.

But Connors jumped off the tentacles and walked to Poison Ivy’s side:

“With the war imminent, we really should do something serious.”

As soon as Selina heard the words “do something serious,” she immediately understood.
