New Gotham

11:13 p.m.

Resse arrived at the spot where Helena stood, breathing heavily. He rushed to her side, taking in that her clothes were ripped and torn, her face cut and bleeding.

"He didn't…" he asked as reached her.

"No…" she answered, "He's dead." She chuckled, "You can't rape the willing."

"You were willing?" Reese said incredulously.

"Hell, no!" It's just a saying!" Helena cried.

"I was so worried…I was watching your tracking thing on the computer and it stopped…" her lover said, drawing her into his arms.

"He just knocked me unconscious and when I regained consciousness, he was trying to rape me. I killed him before he could rape me."

"What happened to his body?"

"It did this weird thing and disintegrated."

She sighed and relaxed against him, resting her head on his chest. They stayed like that for a while, then Helena eased out of his arms.

"Is Dinah okay?" she asked.

"She's not a vegetable anymore, if that's what you mean." He sighed, "but mentally, I don't know."

Helena let out a long breath. "Let's go check on Dinah."

The Clock Tower

11:26 p.m.

Helena sat on the edge of Dinah's bed, watching quietly as Barbara tried to comfort the girl. Dinah's sobs were growing and Helena wondered if Reese could hear them from downstairs. She turned her focus instantly back to the crying girl. She sighed quietly and wished there were something she could do. She decided to speak up.

"He's dead, Dinah. I killed him. He won't be able to hurt anyone any more."

Dinah's blood-shot, red-rimmed eyes moved to her, studied her. There was something in her eyes that made Helena want to find the guy's ashes and suck them up with a vacuum, then burn the vacuum. Barbara separated from Dinah and the girl clung to Helena. The woman did the only thing she could think of and held her just as tight. After a minute or two, Helena realized that the girl had cried herself to sleep.

Helena laid the girl down and left the room with Barbara. They remained quiet.

"I'm going to schedule an appointment for Dinah with a councilor." She told Helena.

The other woman nodded and remained quiet. Barbara sighed softly and placed a hand on Helena's arm.

"She'll be okay over time."

"I know, it's just… I wasn't there to protect her. I just wish I could take it all away."

"Me too, Helena." Barbara sighed, "Me, too."
