On a mission in December 2015, Flag was tasked with hunting down Dr June Moone to be recruited into Task Force X. Tracking her to an apartment building, he encountered dead guards covered in symbols before finding Moone in the bathroom in a bath filled with black water and grass with more symbols on the walls.
Flag took Moone into A.R.G.U.S. custody where Waller assigned Flag to watch over Moone. Over the next few months, the two developed romantic feelings for each other and soon entered a relationship together.
