(AN/ Hey I haven't written many authors notes because I find them annoying myself. So I'm going to make this as short and painless as possible. First of all thanks for reading. Next this will not be canon to the comics but will pay homage to them discreetly and if you have any confusion over anything in this story please ask in the reviews thanks. Oh and this will be a sort of short chapter. Enjoy!)

After getting the car for Dick, Helena dropped Dinah off at her apartment. As she opened the door toting the black duffle bag and Dick's gift, a bundle of fur hurled itself at her legs making her stumble. Her spaniel Lily pawed at her legs and yapped as Dinah made her way to the kitchen. She reached down to pet Lily and walked over to the kitchen to feed her. She got Lily's food out of the cupboard and set the dish on the floor. While Lily ate ravenously Dinah ate a BLT and checked the clock. It was already seven. She had just enough time to shower change and look presentable before Huntress arrived to pick her up for the meeting.

She showered quickly and dried her hair. She put on a robe and went to the back of her closet pulling out a dusty black box. Hesitantly she unclipped the sides of the box and pulled off the cover, everything was exactly as she left it. Then brought the box over to her bed and set Lily on the floor. She sat down and sifted through its contents. First she pulled out her fingerless elbow length gloves and her best pair of fishnets and set them by her new costume and mask. Then she went back over to the box and pulled out the razor sharp feather shaped birdarangs that had saved her butt so many times. Dinah practiced flipping them out once or twice before slipping them into a black utility belt that held various weapons.

She pulled out everything until she got to her choker at the bottom. She slowly pulled it out and slipped it on.
After setting up everything she would need. The small woman walked over to the vanity and smoothed on the dark red lipstick that had sat in the box waiting to be used again. She opted to use newer eyeliner and mascara but figured the lipstick would be okay. She quickly Slipped on her mask and French braided her soft hair over the shiny black ribbon after making sure her curtains were closed.

With her hair pinned in place she slipped on her costume, opting for the two piece look. She then slipped on her ankle height heeled boots. Dinah observed herself in the mirror before going back to the trunk to pull out her motorcycle keys. She'd have to ask Bats were he put her baby. She grabbed her belt and slipped her com-link into her ear then tapped it twice to turn it on. A rumble of a motor cycle came from the back of her apartment building.
"Black Canary do you read?" said the voice in her ear.

"Yeah, on my way." Dinah slipped on her leather jacket and headed out the window to the back of a shady dumpster.
"Let's go, we have a long night ahead of us." Huntress said as Dinah got onto the back of the bike. She started the bike and headed toward the zeta tubes.
