Thank you, corrected.
I think that's right. It wouldn't be a crew if there was just one.

Okay, this sort of feels like it might be less the Justice League taking over the world, and more like Paul taking over. Or perhaps Cadbury Logistics.
Which, I guess, would be one way to achieve a unified planetary government.

Rick Flag Sen-.
And it hits him again. It's not as raw as it was, but it-. The horrible sucking void in his chest when he's forced to remember that he isn't ever going to see Rick Junior again.
Not in this life, anyway.
Rick… Flag, checks to make sure that the door is fully closed before turning to Amanda 'The Wall' Waller.
"So what's his deal?"
"He's really an angel, as far as we can tell." She opens a desk drawer and pulls out a dossier. He flips it open and takes in the photograph. "We found him in a crater in Jump City a couple of years ago. First responders said he was babbling something about the end of the world."
The angel in the picture looks a whole lot more ragged than the calm and collected man he just spoke to.
"If he's an angel, I guess he'd know."
"Intel tried making sense of it. Some of what he said made sense. Most of it didn't. He didn't carry any I.D. and-"
He snorts quietly in amusement at the idea of an angel carrying an I.D..
"-the lab found what appeared to be the remains of a data stick in his robes. We haven't been able to get much out of it."
The next couple of pages are lab reports, attempts to analyse his body and blood. Unsurprisingly he doesn't have a human blood type, though apparently he did have some human blood on his skin when he first appeared.
Waller looks at the dossier. "Next page."
He obediently turns it over-.
Some of these people he recognises. Harley Quinn making faces at the camera. Captain Boomerang pretending to ignore it. A few others he doesn't, but given how they look.
"The Suicide Squad."
Waller shrugs with her face. "If we'd ever had an angel, I'd have remembered it. Our best guess is that he's from an alternate timeline of some kind."
"Not from the future?"
"No. There's a date on the file. And Captain Boomerang's dead."
He grits his teeth. Just for a moment.
"I know."
A few team pictures, including one with… Weapons that don't look like they're from Earth. A few people go missing, but that's not-. Not unusual for the Suicide Squad. Then a picture of Lan naked, pictures of his badly damaged robes and-.
His eyebrows shoot up, and he stares at Waller.
"Are these..?"
"Power rings? Sure, as far as we can tell. He hasn't asked about them since he arrived. It's possible that he's forgotten that he ever had them. Unfortunately, we can't work out how to reassign them and so they won't work for anyone else."
"So, okay, how did he get from this to working here?"
"Have you read the part about his blood work yet?"
"Ah… Silver, can't be fully analysed but doesn't look like human blood under any microscope."
"No, the other part."
Down to the notes…
That…
"He originally bled human blood, but the silver blood… Replaced it?"
"It's not a firm conclusion, but it looked like it. Look at the side view photo."
He does, frowning. "What am I looking for?"
"The scars."
Scars? The wounds are too fresh to have scarred. None of them-. Wait.
"At the base of the wing?"
"It's the same on both sides. So either someone tried to cut them off, or he didn't start with them and they got grafted on. That's also the only wound that had a silver scab."
"What did the rest have?"
"The regular human kind. Oh Positive. The med techs said that they flaked off as the silver blood replaced it."
"So what, he's not an angel? He's just a guy with wings stuck on?"
"He might not have been an angel to start with, but as far as anyone can tell, he is now. When he came around he asked for me by name. Of course, we hadn't finished getting those pictures by then. I was already heading there to oversee things. When I got there, he acted like an amnesiac who finally remembered something."
"Did he know that he was part of the Suicide Squad?"
"He hasn't mentioned it."
"You didn't mention it to him?"
"Why would I? He's happy working for me and bringing the love of the 'Most High' to the prisoners."
"If they're his power rings, he'd be a whole lot more useful with them than without them."
Waller shakes her head. "As things stand, he's useful and under control. Until we know more about what he can do and why he's really here, he doesn't get told anything. I'm only telling you this much so you can keep an eye out for any anomalous behavior."
"He thinks he's here to serve you. Why not just ask him?"
"Because he's not here to serve me. He's here to serve-" She points to a picture of a stern-looking black woman with… Waller on her name lanyard. "-her. Task Force X was still active when whatever happened to him happened."
Flag turns another page. "What are these towers?"
"Did you read the reports on Steppenwolf?"
"The guy the Justice League stomped? Yeah, what about him?"
"He came from a planet called 'Apocalypse'. And as far as we can tell, so did they. They're boring into the Earth's core for some reason, and it looks like there's a lot of them."
"And the things guarding it look like Doomsday. It looks like there's a lot of them, too."
Waller nods. "And we don't have enough kryptonite spears to kill that many."
"It sounds like making sure that doesn't happen here should have top priority."
Waller smiles bitterly. "But how do we know which side he was on?"
"Going out on a limb here, but I'd guess he was on the side of the angels."
"But does that mean he saves bodies or souls?" Waller shrugs. "If every human dies but most of their souls go to Heaven, does he think that's good? Is… Whatever this is, ordained by God and something we're just supposed to accept?"
"I've gotta say, I'm honestly impressed with how paranoid you are."
"Thank you. It's my job to suspect things like him until there's categorical proof he can be trusted. And I'd like you to try getting that, too."

"drawer"
With a name like that it would be weird if they all came back.
And you really don't want giving the orange one to anyone unless you want a Larfleeze situation.
I'm guessing a correction is unnecessary since she wouldn't necessarily know that it's spelled as "Apokalips".
I kinda see her point.
