After dinner, Barbara went to her room and locked the door. She went to her
mattress and put the transponder on her waist, and turned it on. The main
box was on her back, she took a deep breath looking at the ceiling. Now was
the moment she would find out if her invention would work.
She pressed a button and the transponder made a soft noise. She closed her eyes and swallowed. She put her elbows over her mattress and looked her feet. *Came on * she focused on move them. She leaned back and let out a frustrated sigh. At the first she felt angry and later, sadness.
* * *
Helena was doing a good of job patrolling the city. Barbara was surprised by the abilities of her protege. Her skills were amazing and the kid was really smart. Barbara wanted he to study at University but Helena had only promised Barbara she would finish high school. She said she would wait a bit before it. And she wanted earn money on her own to pay it.
Barbara couldn't convince her to accept her father's money, so she just supported the kid's decisions. The red head was thinking about that while she continued working in her transponder.
The light blanket of snow covered the rooftops and streets. The moon was up, in the middle of the dark sky. It was late, a woman walked down street to her home near the park, her small children followed her behind. Suddenly two guys appeared and pointed a gun at her asking for her money. Her scared child hugged her legs . One of the men took her bag and looked for money but he only found twenty-five dollars.
"This is all you have?" he shouted slapping her.
The scared woman stepped back.
"I'll teach you a lesson bitch." He said taking out a knife.
A shadow fell between them. The man was surprised to see the beautiful young woman in front of him. Her gaze was cold and her pupils were only two slits. She smashed her fist into his face making him fly backwards.
She locked her eyes on the man with the gun. He pointed it at her.
"Go away!!" he exclaimed.
She walked toward him with her fists balled up locking her eyes on him.
"Don't take another step bitch!"
Huntress moved fast and she kicked him making the gun fly out of his hand. She hit him again because she was angry. The other man stood up and she stoped him with a punch to his face. She ducked to avoid a blow to her head from the second man. She kicked him in his stomach and turned to give him another kick to the face. Huntress was really pissed now, so she punched the two men harder. She didn't remember most of the fight. She had been blinded by her rage. She just knew she had hit the men but she couldn't recall the details. Before she realized it, she had knocked out both of them. She looked around waiting for them to attack again, but they were unconscious.
Barbara listened as Huntress cried, and watched the woman and her child. Both were hugging each other, they were scared. Huntress walked to them and kneeled touching the woman shoulder.
"Everything is fine, it's dangerous for you to walk alone at night, and it's snowing." Huntress pulled out her allowance and gave the woman a twenty dollar bill. "Take a cab."
Barbara had never felt so proud of the teenager as she did now.
"No." the woman said.
"Take it as a Christmas dinner contribution." Huntress smiled "And take a cab, please, it's late. At the next corner there is a hotel and are some taxis outside."
The woman nodded and picked up her kid and she shook Huntress's hand giving her thanks. Later she walked to the next corner. Huntress stood up watching her go. The girl smiled at her and waved her hand saying goddbye. Huntress did the same. She sighed, she didn't like
her present so much. She hated that her mother was dead. She hated being an orphan and that she didn't have the opportunity to be with her mother like that kid.
::That was a nice touch.:: she listened Oracle's voice.
"This is a shit." Huntress said.
::Hey, be careful with that mouth!:: Oracle said. ::What's wrong with you?::
"Nothing." she walked to the opposite side of the street. Huntress felt jealous of that girl, she had her mother still with her. She felt angry and frustrated. She could help her, and strangers, but she couldn't help her own mother.
::Huntress, I had been watching you the past few days, you are acting in a strange way. What is wrong?::
"Do you have another signal on your computer? I want some action." Huntress began to walk in circles.
Oracle didn't answer, she knew something was bothering the kid. ::Huntress:: she said after a few seconds ::do you want to talk?::
"No, What's next?"
::Something is bothering you.::
"Damn! No!." Huntress let her fury out and hit a trash container with her fist denting it. "Just tell me what to do." The idea that she had the capability to help her mother and she she hadn't was frustrating.
* * *
At Clock Tower Oracle heard the loud noise and pressed her lips.
"Please come back." She said knowing Huntress wasn't well.
::I don't want come back!:: Huntress shouted ::I want kick some ass::.
"There is nothing, come back Huntress. I want talk with you." Oracle insisted.
::I don't want talk::
"Huntress it's not good to fight while you are feeling the way that you feel now."
::I'm feel okay.::
"Huntress I'm asking you, please come back, you need calm down. Something is bothering you, I don't know what it is but we can talk."
::Okay, so I will look for my own ass to kick.::
"No Huntresss." Oracle saw the signal disappeared. The kid had turned off her mic. "Damn!" she groaned worried. Something was happening with the girl and she would get into trouble easily.
* * *
Huntress jumped between the rooftops for several minutes. On her way she had beat up two more criminals. But she still felt angry. She crouched in the corner of a building looking down. There was a green house on the next corner. She saw two guys trying to open the main door. She smiled and jumped to the building in front of her so she could enter by the back door of the greenhouse.
The men walked in slowly and turned on their hand lights. They were looking for the safety box. The exited the green house and found a wood door. They broke the lock and entered. Inside was a marvelous and incredible garden. Both men looked around surprised. They began to look for the safe. They kneeled in front of the safe and took out their tools to open it.
"Are you looking for something?" they listened a female voice behind them.
One of them tried to hit her with a pipe and she jumped back. She grinned. "Okay, you asked for it." She kicked him. The other guy stood up and took the box with her tools and hit her in the stomach with it.
Huntress grunted and bent over. The second man jumped over her.A red-haired woman opened the door and was surprised to see the fight with the the woman in black. She smashed the man that had jumped over her into the floor, and she turned fast to kick the other one. She ducked to avoid a punch and she hit the man again with her fist.
She was more agile and moved faster. The woman was surprised, she had seen that woman before. or she remembered her some one else. Her movements, her body. The men ran away as soon as they could. Huntress was going to follow them but the voice of the woman stoped her.
"I know you." She said.
Huntress turned her face and looked her from feet to head. "I don't think so."
"Yes." the woman observed her "It's true, but you remind me of some one."
"Maybe another wild cat. See you." Huntress walked to the door.
"Don't go, I want to say thanks." She tried to buy time.
"You already said it." The kid said opening the door.
"I'll like see you again, this guys would come back. They are looking for my most valuable plant."
"Call the police" Huntress grinned "They would help you."
"Just remember my words, they would come back with more henchmen."
Huntress stopped and looked her again "Which plant?"
"One that will arrive the next weekend. It's a very expensive and strange plant. If you come here back I'll show it to you."
"I hate plants."
"You are a crime-fighter, right? My name is Pamela, Pamela Isley. Im the owner of these place. I'm new in the city. I hope that you come back."
"Maybe." Huntress said closing the door.
The woman stood up and put her hand over her chin. She was sure she had seen that girl before or.
"It couldn't be." Pamela mumbled and smiled. "But I guess yes.."
