A/N: Second Chapter, I'm trying to get these all out as fast as possible, otherwise I'll never finish. Takes place after Q disappears but before Helena goes after Jimmy. Also for an AWESOME interpretation of how she captured Jimmy go read MeraNova's Baiting the Man of Steel.
Disclaimer: Again, I own nothing, just my own little ideas.

Chapter Two
Helena Bertinelli did not take kindly to being ignored. Especially by her own boyfriend! However this was not the first time this had happened. She was starting to get used to Q's work habits. In other words, obsess over some small snippet of information until it gave him all it's secrets. Usually she had to force her way into his Hub City apartment and steal his attention, by any means necessary.
She was aware of the other Justice League women's opinion of her Q, after all, not many tried to hide it. But she didn't mind his mask just because she couldn't see his expressions didn't mean he didn't have any. She had become an expert in these past few months of deciphering Q-speak, as she liked to call it. It was all in the slightest movements of his body language. When he reacted he never reacted much, so it was hard to see. But she felt that she had gotten it down pat now.
She had known when she saw him two days ago that something was wrong. He was acting differently; he was projecting his feelings. Not hiding them behind his mask like he normally did. Then he had run away from her and she hadn't seen him since. So she waited, watching the fake video of Superman frying Luthor over and over again, trying to see what he had seen. But she hadn't seen anything and after two days of waiting she had given up and started searching for him.
The streets of Hub City were some of the worst in the United States, some even compared them to be as bad or worse as Gotham. However, Gotham was Huntress's playground so she knew how to handle herself. So she had stalked the streets for two days and still not found her faceless prey and by that point she knew something was terribly wrong. It was time to get in touch with the Justice League. But how?
A/N: This wasn't as long as I would like to have hoped. But I am satisfied with it. Again if you liked it go ahead and review and no flames please, they burn. Ouchies!
