Five months after his mission with the Suicide Squad in Corto Maltese,[a] Christopher Smith / Peacemaker has recovered from the injuries he suffered there and is discharged from the hospital. Upon returning to his trailer home, Smith is confronted by a group of A.R.G.U.S. agents: Clemson Murn, Emilia Harcourt, John Economos, and newcomer Leota Adebayo. They give him the choice of returning to Belle Reve prison or joining a new mission dubbed “Project Butterfly”. Smith visits his father, Auggie, to retrieve his pet eagle Eagly and acquire a new outfit. He then has dinner with the team and Murn gives him a dossier of an assassination target. Smith later attempts to flirt with Harcourt in a bar but is rejected and instead goes home with a different woman at the bar. Meanwhile, Adebayo privately discusses her role in Project Butterfly with her mother, A.R.G.U.S. leader Amanda Waller. The woman that Smith is with attacks him and reveals that she has superhuman strength. During the following fight, Smith activates a sonic boom weapon in his helmet that destroys the woman.

Smith contacts Harcourt and explains his situation as Evergreen’s police force comes to investigate the sonic boom. Harcourt and Adebayo come to collect Smith while he retrieves his belongings from the woman’s apartment; he also discovers a mysterious device that he takes. Smith briefly takes a couple of hostages and is able to escape from their apartment’s balcony, getting away with Eagly, Harcourt, and Adebayo. Economos changes Smith’s fingerprint’s in the police system to point to Auggie, and Adebayo bribes the couple that Smith took hostage into identifying Auggie as the man who took them hostage. The police arrest Auggie, and in prison, he is hailed as the “White Dragon” by white inmates. Smith realizes that the woman only tried to attack him after she saw the dossier he had on his assassination target. Feeling shunned by the team, Smith returns to his trailer and is greeted by his one-time crimefighting partner Vigilante who attempts to cheer Smith up by inviting him to target practice. They later learn that the device from the woman’s apartment is a miniature spa
