New Gotham

10:30 p.m.

Helena stood on top of a six-story building, looking down at the street below. She smiled as she saw a familiar figure walking down the dark street. Stepping onto the ledge, she hesitated a second before jumping off and landing on her feet beside Reese. He smiled and stopped.

"Are we always gonna meet like this?" he asked.

"Yup."

She walked over to Reese and kissed him on the lips. When they broke apart, they laced their fingers together and walked down the street. The silence they walked in was only momentary for Helena.

"Huntress, do you know where Dinah is?" asked Oracle.

Helena separated from Reese and put her hand up to her communication device.

"No. Why? Isn't she in the Clock Tower?" replied Helena.

"No. I don't know where she is." There was a worried tone in Barbara's voice that caused the other woman to get a weird feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Have you tried No Man's Land?" asked Helena.

"She not there, I'm really worried, Helena."

"I'll keep an eye out, don't worry."

She turned to find Reese giving her a look. She raised an eyebrow at him.

"I'm not gonna accept the 'invisible friend' thing anymore." He told her.

Helena sighed. "It's a communication device."

Reese raised an eyebrow at her. "Why do you need one of those?'

"I'm fighting the same fight you are, only with cooler gadgets."

Reese accepted that answer and the pair continued to walk. As they passed by an alleyway, Helena stopped suddenly.

"What is it?" the man asked, alert.

"I hear something."

They went into the dark alley cautiously. Reese drew his gun and walked in front of her, protecting her from whatever was in the alleyway. As they got closer, they saw a body of a girl laying on the ground her clothes torn and curled into the fetal position. From behind him, he heard Helena gasp. She pushed pasted him and knelt down beside the body.

"Dinah…" she whispered.

Helena touched the girl's chin, moving her face so she could see her. Dinah's eyes were open, staring blankly. Helena put her fingers on her neck, checking her pulse. Relief washed over her upon finding Dinah's pulse strong. The girl was alive but unresponsive. With a start, Helena realized she'd been raped. Oh, fuck. She thought, picking up Dinah's body.

"Helena, what are you doing? She needs to be in the hospital."

Helena shook her head sadly. "A hospital can't help her."

From further down the alley, the woman heard a noise. She turned to Reese and handing Dinah to him.

"Take her to the Clock Tower, now." She instructed.

"What's at the Clock Tower?"

"It doesn't matter, just go!"

She started down the alleyway, her eyes intently scanning the area. Helena looked up and was just in time to see a man jump down from the fire escape. He tackled her to the ground. Helena flung him off her and jump up, taking her fighter's stance. The man stood and faced her.

His hair was black and his eyes…they were gold; flashing with inhumanly power. Helena glared at him, wanting to kill him.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked.

"Because I want more power." The man answered.

"Is there any way to reverse what you did?"

"Why?"

"Dinah is my friend. I protect my friends."

"There are two ways."

"Tell me."

"Way number one: To kill me."

"What's the second one?" Helena demanded.

"The second way is to sacrifice yourself to save your friend."

"I chose number one."

The man threw back his head and laughed. The laughed sent a shudder down her spine.

"You can't kill me." He told her, "With all the power I have, you won't be able to. But you're free to try."

Helena took him at his word and started to fight him.

Meanwhile…

The Clock Tower

10:53 p.m.

Reese stood at the doorway, holding Dinah's limp body. The door opened and a woman in a wheelchair was in the doorframe, an alarmed look on her face.

"Oh, god! Dinah!" she said, then to Reese, "Quick, bring her inside."

The man followed behind the woman. She presses her hand to a place in the wall, and an elevator appears. Reese stared with momentary surprise then snapped back into the task at hand. They entered the elevator. Reese looked down at the woman.

"What's you name?" he asked.

"Barbara." Answered the woman, "Barbara Gordon."

"I'm Jesse Reese."

The elevator doors opened and they got out and went down a long hall to a door. Barbara opens the door and they enter. An older man appears wearing a butler's uniform.

"Bring her up stairs. Alfred, show him where to go." Barbara said.

"Of course. Miss Barbara." The older man said, leading Reese upstairs.

Barbara wheeled herself over to the computers and clicked the tracking device for Helena. She was looking at the map, watching the red dot that represented Helena, move, when Reese came up.

"What's going on?" he asked Barbara.

"There's a rapist that's stealing his victim's powers."

"You mean he's meta-human?"

"Yeah. He must've raped Dinah."

"Is that why she's not responding?"

"Yes. She's using more than fifty percent of her brain that normal people don't use."

"So, when that guy raped her and stole her power, he destroyed over fifty percent of her brain?"

"Exactly."

"Damn." Reese said.

The red dot stopped moving suddenly and Dinah's scream rang throughout the Clock Tower. Barbara instantly knew what had happened.

"Shit!" she said she looked at the screen, then looked back at Reese, "See where she is?"

"Yes."

"Go there and get there fast."

"Why? What's happened?"

"I can hear what's going on through the communication device. One of two things could've happened. Either she killed the rapist or…"

"Or what?!" he demanded.

"He raped her too."

"Fuck." Reese said, running out of the lair.

Barbara closed her eyes. Please let Helena be all right. She thought as she went to go check on Dinah.
