You knew that your father's line of workers was dangerous. When your brother died, your father threw himself into work to distract himself. He had been assigned to a task force of monsters to protect a princess in Pokolistan from the sorceress Circe. The mission was a success, but there were seeds of doubt implanted by Circe after she made Waller see a vision of the princess causing World War 3. While your father was on a separate mission to investigate Waller's sources, he got badly injured by Clayface, leading him to be in a coma. You now sat with him, waiting for him to wake up.
