Amanda Waller has discovered that every problem her Suicide Squad has had to tackle of late was engineered by John Lynch, the former director of her old group, Team 7. She has since learned that Lynch intends to sell a foreign dictator named Paris Mingowee on the idea of its own superhuman team to become his personal security detail. Some time ago, Waller agreed to remove the nano-bombs from the Suicide Squad's necks in accordance with Harley Quinn's request and or death threat. In addition, they would each be free in a year, acting only as informants from then on.
