"So... Amanda Waller sent you?"
Li Jie sat behind the desk and asked curiously, "Honestly, I didn't expect Waller to have anyone as mild-mannered as you working for her."
Harkness and Turner sat behind iron bars. Even though Turner could twist those bars like pretzels with the slightest effort, and even though they were being treated like prisoners and forced to sit in the Detention Room, neither showed any impatience.
That was, of course, if you ignored the dozen or so shotguns aimed straight at them.
"Sheriff, you can't treat us like this. We know each other."
Harkness sounded thoroughly aggrieved. "You know, when The Flash first caught us, we even talked about how we might have pulled it off if you'd joined us..."

"Fuck. They really do keep the traditions alive."
Li Jie shook his head and noticed Harkness's communicator
