Plot: Months ago, with the aid of Shadowpact, Checkmate managed to do something no agency had before... inserting a sleeper agent into the terrorist organization Kobra. Now, unexpectedly the agent has broken silence, fearing his cover has been blown. He dumps a massive amount of data, but requests an immediate extraction.
But Checkmate's plans for extracting Pawn 502 project massive casualties with no certainty of success. With no other options, they turn to someone who has no reason to love or trust Checkmate... Superman.

Plot: Amanda Waller's been having a tough time lately. Her history as part of the Lex Luthor's presidential administration has kept her from the psoition she truly wanted: Black Queen of checkmate. Her acceptance as part of Checkmate had a condition attached from the UN Security Council that she would be in no way responsible for operations, and kept on the White side of the organization. Her proposal for an operation in Myanmar has just been rejected by the Council.On top of that, Mirror Master is gathering former members of the Suicide Squad for an operation. While she was part of the government, she never let go of the squad's members, hounding them until they met her demands. Mirror Master is planning on taking the Squad to Myanmar to achieve Waller's objective there to either give her a political black eye, or make an agreement with her that will free them from her designs once and for all.But the Secret Society doesn't look kindly on individual operations of which they aren't notified (and don't receive a cut.) Can Mirror Master keep his plan secret from Calculator?
