"MOM!!!!!!!" Helena Kyle yelled as she watched Selina fall. "NO!!!!!!! MOM!!!!!!!!!!!"

Helena ran from the other side of the alley way and fell beside her mother. She ran her hand slowly down her mothers back. She pulled her hand away and saw the blood on her hand, and the pool forming beside her.

No mom!!! Don't die, please don't die. I need you!! Tears ran down her eyes as she yelled for someone to get help.

Helena gripped Selina's hand, pleading for her to live, as she listened to the ambulance's sirens in the background. Help is coming mom, just hang on. Just hang on!

The paramedics pushed their way through the crowd as the police set up a barricade. "Get this girl out of here. We need room," barked a paramedic.

"Come with me miss." A cop placed his hand on her shoulder to guide her away.

"NOOOO I wont leave her you can't make me!!!!" Helena screamed, her eyes turned cat like, as he tried to pull her away, hitting and kicking the man in the process.

"A little help over here. She is a strong one." The cop called and two of his friends came over to lend a hand.

"Calm down miss. We will take you to the hospital where your mom is going. Please calm down." One of the other cops called before he got a nice kick in the head.

Helena watched as the paramedics loaded her mom into the truck; saw the worried expression on their face. She calmed down and was led to the awaiting cop car to follow her mom.

Rain fell down on the window of the cop car. The flashing lights made eerie patterns as they followed the ambulance down the street. Helena stared out, not fully comprehending what just happened.

Why did this happen to you? I don't understand. Please don't die! I need you. I love you. Why why why why?! Please be ok, please! Tears fell down her eyes just like the rain fell on the window. Her heart sliced in two as lighting split the sky.

"I need more gauze!" Yelled a red haired paramedic as the ambulance flew down the road.

"I have never seen so much blood before," stated the blonde paramedic. "Think she will make it?"

The red head looked at Selina's pale white face, and shook his head no. He looked at the monitor and noticed that her pulse was falling fast.

"That poor little girl." The blonde said, remembering what it was like growing up with a mother. She looked up as she heard the alarm go off on the monitor. "She is flat lining!"

"Hurry, get the paddles!" Yelled the redhead as he began compressions. "Charge."

"Paddles charged! Clear!" The redhead moved away as the blonde pressed the paddles against Selina's chest. Her body jolted on the gurney as the electricity flew through her body.

The redhead looked at the monitor. "Charge again!"

"Clear!" It didn't work again as she remained in a flat line. They continued to shock her 5 more times.

"That's it. She is gone." The redhead called as he turned the monitor off.

"Please, lets continue compressions. We are almost there, maybe they can do something for her." She glanced back at the lights coming from the cop's car following them. "For the girl." The redhead nodded and he continued compressions.

"Better worn the ER, though" the driver nodded as he picked up the mike.

"ER, this is 34 our rider has flat lined. We are continuing compressions. ETA is 3 min."

Helena watched out the window as they unloaded Selina. Several Doctors came out to have a look at her. One shook his head and the others soon joined in. The redhead, who was pushing on her mom's chest, nodded his head and stopped pressing. One of the doctors pulled the sheet over her head and looked at the cop car.

"Stay here with the girl, I will be right back." The cop on the passenger side got out to go talk to the doctors. His partner picked up a magazine off of the floor of the car and sat back to take a break.

Helena watched them talk, wanting to know why she couldn't see her mom. Why are they just standing there? Whey don't they take her into the hospital? Why are they not helping her? Helena stared at the sheet that had been pulled over Selina. Why would they cover her like that unless...NO MOM! Helena's eyes changed as she realized what was going on.

Her mom was dead.

"No Mom. It can't be true. It can't be. It is not possible. No!" Helena screamed as she started hitting the window. It began to crack under her metahuman strength.

"Calm down! You're going to hurt yourself!" The cop yelled, hitting her with his magazine, trying to get her to stop.

"NO!" Helena yelled one last time before slamming her fist through the window. She opened the door from the outside and jumped out, running to her mom. The cop who was talking to the doctor saw her coming and stood in the way. She ran straight into him, knocking him to the ground. Pulling back the sheet she looked at Selina's lifeless body. "Mom!" Tears rolled down her face as she buried her head in Selina's chest. The blonde paramedic placed a hand on Helena's back, trying to calm her.

"She can wait here until someone comes for her. We can also look at that hand of hers as well. " Remarked a doctor.

"Fine with me. I may need my back looked at." Groaned the cop as he got off the ground. He motioned for his partner to part the car and come in.

The doctors pulled Selina and Helena apart as they went into the ER. Selina was taken to the morgue as Helena was pulled reluctantly to a room to have her hand looked at.

What do I do now? You're all I have! Helena drifted from reality as her hand is looked at. Not feeling anything as the glass was pulled from her skin. Her breaking heart was all that she felt. She lost a part of herself, not knowing what would happen next. No more tears fell down her face. She had cried too much tonight. She put on a face, never showing how much pain she was in to the nurses. This was to be the mask she would wear many times for the rest of her life.
