  Summary

  Based after season one, not completely season two compliant.

  After escaping nearly a lifetime of illegal imprisonment, Waller blackmails you to do her bidding. She pulls every string she needs in her quest for revenge against the 11th street kids for turning her daughter against her. You must gain the team's trust to find out their greatest fears and weaknesses, including Vigilante's identity.

  As the desire for connection begins to interfere with your mission, will you be able to push aside your humanity in return for your freedom?
