Author's Note: Okay so this is the last part and it's Christmas Day in this
part. My friend and I finally got together to finish this part and this is
the fourth and final part. We actually got kicked out of class again and
this time it was hilarious; our teacher asked us what are favorite Birds of
Prey were and she meant the actually birds. But of course being us we
started telling her our favorite Birds of Prey episodes, yes, you guessed
it we got kicked out again. So, if you remember in part 2 Reese bought the
necklace Helena was admiring in the jewelry store. So can you guess what
he's going to do with it?
Helena's Christmas part four
~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$
Reese walked into his bedroom, Helena was asleep, it was three in the morning; he placed a large flat square box covered in wrapping paper on the pillow next to her. She turned onto her stomach, Reese made sure not to wake her as he walked out of the room.
~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~%~~~~
A four-year-old Helena Kyle walked away from her mother, not really realizing that she had; she continued to walk further away from her, Selina Kyle hadn't realized her daughter had walked away. Helena looked around, she saw all the people around her, looking aimlessly for her mother. She bumped into a tall man, she looked at him; the man had dark brown hair and a fake smile on his face. A young man stood next to him and a woman with red hair. Helena looked into the man eyes, they were filled with sadness, lost love and pain; Selina came running over to her daughter and picked her up, "Thank God you're alright," she said hugging her daughter tightly. She carried her daughter away but Helena looked at the man once more and smiled at him and he smiled back and Helena was glad that she had brought a little happiness to the heart broken heart. Little did Helena know but that was her father, Bruce Wayne.Batman.

Helena rolled over in the bed; her hand came in contact with the box that was on the pillow next to her. She opened her eyes and looked at the box, a bit confused; she picked up the box and walked out of the room.
"Well, sleeping beauty finally decided to get up," Reese said.
"What's this?" Helena asked as she put the box on the counter.
"A Christmas present."
"I don't."
"Okay, a thanks for my ass every night present."
"Oh, I guess I should open it then."
"Yeah."
Helena ripped the wrapping paper off of the box; she opened the black velvet and revealed the silver choker. It was the one she had seen in the store window, she looked over at Reese, "Do you know how much this cost? I can't even afford it."
"I thought you were rich?"
"That's my father's money, not mines."
"Understandable."
"So, Detective can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"What's with the apartment?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"You make good money, you're single and yet you live here."
"What's your point?"
"Shouldn't you have a bachelor pad or something like that?"
"I like where I live."
Helena smiled, "Alright, that's all I wanted to know."
"So, how about we got out?""
"Go out where?"
"To dinner, it is Christmas."
"I have nothing to wear."
"I'll take you to your place so you can change."
Helena looked around as if the walls could give her the answer.
"Come on you know you want to," Reese said as he put the necklace on her. She smiled at him, thinking.

"Barbara, umm.are eggs suppose to.like um catch on fire?" Dinah asked as she stepped away from the stove.
"Dinah!! What happened??!" Barbara shouted as she rolled into the kitchen.
"I was trying to make eggs, but it didn't turn out so good," she said backing even farther away.
"Here put this on it," Barbara said handing Dinah the baking soda.
Dinah threw the box into the fire; Barbara shook her head, "You were suppose to throw the baking soda on top of the fire."
"Sorry."
"Turn the stove off and put a lid over the fire."
"Okay," she replied as she used her meta-human abilities to do both. Barbara looked at Dinah, "What? I didn't know eggs were flammable."
"The eggs aren't but oil is, that's why it's called an oil fire!"
"Sorry."
"I guess we really need Alfred, don't we?"
"Oh, yes we do."
"Good morning, Miss Barbara, Miss Dinah," Alfred said as he walked into the kitchen. "Do I smell something burning?"
"Alfred, thank God you're here," Barbara said turning around to face him.
"Do I smell something burning?" he asked again as he walked over to the stove.
"Sorry," Dinah replied as she walked even further away then she already was.
"Miss Dinah, What did you do?"
"I was trying to make eggs and they caught on fire."
"Miss Barbara," Alfred said turning to face her.
"Yes, Alfred?" Barbara replied looking at him.
"Make sure Miss Dinah doesn't take a cooking class, she might burn down the school."
"That wasn't funny," Dinah said.
"Good, it wasn't suppose to be, Miss Dinah," Alfred replied.
"I'm going to the training room."
"Wait, Miss Dinah. Why don't Miss Barbara and yourself go to the living room and I shall bring you both some tea."
"How 'bout coco?" Dinah asked. "It is Christmas."
"As you wish Miss Dinah. And for you Miss Barbara?"
"I'll have the same, thank you Alfred," Barbara replied as Dinah and her walked out of the kitchen.
Alfred came into the room a few minutes later with two nice hot cups of coco (A/N: Some coco would be nice right now wouldn't it? Oh, shut up and let's get on with the story. I was just saying. Well, don't say; you're wasting words! Sorry, authors fight; fight is over so on with the story.) He placed the tray on the coffee table (A/N: Shouldn't it be coco table? I'll give you your damn coco table!) and took out two small boxes from his pocket.
"Miss Dinah, this is for you and Miss Barbara this is for you," Alfred said handing each of them the correct box.
"You shouldn't have," Dinah said.
"Oh but I didn't, someone else did. Now, if you don't mind I'm going to clean what use to be the kitchen."
"Ha ha ha, hysterical," Dinah said sarcastically.
"Oh, but it is Dinah," Barbara said then started to laugh. "Oh, but it is."
Dinah opened the small box, inside was the necklace she had seen in the jeweler's window when she had gone shopping with Helen (a/n: which Helena didn't want to do. Yeah, which Helena did not want to do. Thank you, you finally agree with me. Oh, shut up) against Helena's will; she had seen it and told Helena she wanted it, but now she had it and she felt really bad about it, really, really bad about it. Barbara opened her package, inside was a white gold necklace with a Bat sign charm; she remembered when she had give Helena a set of earrings with the same symbol, she remembered too. (A/N: Okay when Barbara thinks 'she remembered too,' she's referring to Helena.)
~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@~~~~@
"When are you gonna take this blindfold off of me?"
"When we get inside Detective," Helena replied.
"And why can't I know where you live?"
"Cuz I don't want you to."
"But it's Christmas."
"You sound like my last boyfriend."
Helena unlocked the door to the apartment and lead Reese inside; she closed the door and finally took Reese's blindfold off.
"Thanks," Reese replied when it finally came off.
"Stay in here, understand."
"I'm not a child, Huntress."
"But you once were."
Helena walked into her room, trying to find an outfit that looked sexy but didn't seem like she spent hours picking it out. She wanted to look casual, yet classy, fancy but also cool and last but not least, Huntress yet Helena Kyle. She looked through her closet.something black.wait no he's seen me in black.how about a dress.naw, too fancy.awe, I found it! It's perfect.Huntress but yet Helena. She took a quick shower then changed into the outfit she had picked; she put on a little make-up and walked out of her room. She found Reese looking at the pictures she had on her end tables as Alfred liked to call them.
"Who is this?" Reese asked holding up a picture of Barbara.
"Legal guardian , she took me in after my mom died," Helena replied looking at the picture herself. "It was taken a few moths before." she paused, she wanted to say 'Before she became Oracle and made up that stupid muffin top cover story,' but she couldn't. "She became a teacher and started her Internet baking thing."
"And let me guess this is you," Reese said pointing to the picture of her in High school when she was on the pep squad. "Not bad."
"thank you."
"But I never thought of you as the cheerleader type."
"Pep squad," she replied. "I was never a cheerleader."
"So you did go to high school."
"No, I've been fighting crime since I came out of the womb," (A/N: We're sorry about that one but we just had to it was the only way to get it out of our heads and get it into yours.) she replied sarcastically. "For course I when to high school."
"So, who this guy you're with?" he asked pointing to another picture.
"One of my ex-boyfriends."
"Oh," he replied jealousy and disappointment filled his voice.
"I only keep the picture because I came out looking very sexy."
"Cocky aren't we."
"More like honest."
"Is this your mom?" he asked picking up a picture with a blonde.
"Yeah, it was the last picture she ever took," she replied. "It was on my sixteenth birthday," she added.
"You look a lot like her."
"Really?"
"Really."
"So, where are we going?"
"Don't worry."
"Why won't you just tell me?"
"Because I'm taking you out and I decide not you."
"You're not being fair."
Reese looked up at Helena, "Whoa!"
"What?" Helena asked.
"You look, you look."
"I look what?"
"Sexy."
"I already knew that, Detective."
Helena had on tight black leather pants with a tight red leather tang top. "Let's go," he said getting up.
"Blindfold," she said handing it to Reese.
"Huntress."
"Blindfold."
"Fine."
Helena lead Reese out the door and down the stairs and out onto the streets.
~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$~~~~$
"I can't believe Helena remembered, Alfred," Barbara said. "It's been sixteen years since I gave her those earrings." (A/N: Barbara is referring to the earrings she gave Helena in part one, with the bat symbol on them.)
"Maybe they meant something to Miss Helena," Alfred said placing a tray next to the computer.
"Alfred the last time she wore them was the day her mother died."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Alfred, I am. Ever since she found out who her father was she hasn't wore them."
Alfred took a photo album out of one of the drawers, "Look at this picture, Miss Helena was eighteen in this one."
"What about it, Alfred."
"Look at her ears, Miss Barbara. What is she wearing?"
"The earrings."
"And in this one and this one and this one and this one?" he asked going through most of the album.
"Okay, you proved me wrong, do you always have to be so superior?"
"It's a British thing, Miss Barbara."
Barbara shook her head and went back to work, "Miss Barbara, what are you doing?"
"Trying to find Helena, Alfred. I know she doesn't have her comm. Set on, but I can still try. Maybe Gibson's seen her."
"I doubt that, Miss Barbara. She hasn't been there since last week."
"At a bar?"
"Miss Barbara, I truly doubt that."
"She always spends her Christmas in one bar or another."
"Well not this one Miss Barbara, believe me, not this one."
"You know where she is, don't you Alfred?"
'I am sworn to secrecy," he replied zipping up an invisible zipper across his mouth.
"Alfred, it's illegal to with hold information," she said rolling after Alfred.
"We are not in a court room, Miss Barbara; there fore it is not illegal."
"If Bruce was asking, I know you would tell him, Alfred," she said stopping.
"I'm sorry to inform you Miss Barbara," he said turning around to face her. "But you are wrong. Miss Helena asked me not to tell you and I am not going to break her trust; if her life was in danger, than yes I would tell Master Bruce but she is perfectly safe where she is."
"Alfred, you know how much Helena means to me, she's like my daughter, and this is the last time I'm going to ask you," Barbara said losing her patients. "Tell me where the hell Helena is!!" she shouted close to tears.
"I'm sorry, Miss Barbara, I can't."
"No.you can.you just won't," she replied her voice distance.
"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, Miss Barbara."
"Please, Alfred, please! Please! Please!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Barbara."
"Alfred! Alfred! Alfred!" she shouted with what was left of her voice.
It too all of Alfred's self control and love for Helena not to tell Barbara where Helena was, especially when her voice broke; it was heart breaking to him, so heart breaking to him.
~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^~~~~^
Reese pulled out Helena's chair and she sat down, he sat across from her. Helena looked around the restaurant; it was very classy, great I wore the wrong clothes, she thought. A guy dressed in a penguin suit came over to take their over, and Helena wanted to laugh so badly. She had seen Alfred where the suit a few times but he could really pull it off, this guy just couldn't.
"And for you Miss?" the waiter asked.
"Huh?" Helena replied.
"What wound you like to drink?"
"Vodka. Rocks."
"I will be back to take you dinner orders," the waiter said then walked away.
"What's with penguin boy?" Helena asked.
"He does have a man," Reese replied.
"Yeah, but I like penguin boy better."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alfred walked into the computer lab followed by Dinah, "miss Barbara you need to eat," Alfred said walking closer to her with the tray.
"Not know Alfred," Barbara said.
"But Miss Barbara." he started.
"Not know Alfred!" she snapped throwing the tray along with its condiments towards Dinah.
Dinah threw the objects that came flying at her into a wall near by; she almost missed the knife that came shooting through the air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I want to show you something," Helena said as they approached the car.
"Do I have to be blindfolded?" Reese asked.
"No, I just need your car keys, I'm driving."
"You can't drink and drive."
"I had one drink and I'm a Meta it doesn't effect me."
"Alright, but if you get caught."
"I'll knock out the cop."
"Let's just go."
They got into the car and Helena drove; she stopped when she came to two huge iron gates. (A/N: Maybe we should make this a five part story and leave you guys hanging.naw, let's just give them the story. Fine, you win. Thank you.) The gates had the letter B and W on it; the gates opened and she drove further in. she parked the car and got out of the car.
"Huntress, it is trespassing, we can't be here. This is Bruce Wayne's manor, he one of the richest men in the country."
"Thanks for the history lesson but I don't need it, I already knew that."
"Then why are you trespassing?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not trespassing, it's my manor."
"The only way this could be your manor is if Bruce Wayne is your father."
"Way the go Colombo," she said sarcastically.
"You're Bruce Wayne's daughter the multi-millionaire?"
"More like multi-billionaire, but yeah."
"And you live in that tiny apartment instead of this huge manor."
"I told you already I don't want anything to do with my father's money, I only wanted one thing from him and he never got it for me."
"And what was that?"
"For him to find the man who killed my father and then I wanted him dead."
"Understandable."
"Really? I thought you would give me some kind of 'we can't go around killing people' speeches."
"I would want the same thing too."
They walked over to the front door of the manor; Helena pushed the huge door open and hit home. It was just like the first time she had come to the manor; Reese walked right behind her as she walked further into the manor. She got lost in its magnificent beauty, it was mesmerizing. It was so quite, like no one ever lived and it looked just like that. Everything was spotless, Alfred has diffidently been keeping the house cleaning up, Helena thought.
"So, did you and your mom live here?" Reese asked.
"No, we lived in an apartment, well more of a penthouse," Helena replied.
"So, did you know about your father?"
"After my mother died."
"Oh."
Helena showed Reese the rest of the manor, everything except her father's room and the Bat cave. They walked towards the front door, Helena stopped in front of her father's door and went inside; she walked over to the desk and found that the letter she had written her father was gone and it it's place was an envelope with the name Helena Wayne-Kyle written on it in blue ink and a little velvet black box was next to it. She picked them both up and she put them in her pocket and walked out of the room.
"Huntress, Huntress!!" Reese shouted looking around.
"What!?!" Helena replied.
"Where were you?"
"I was making sure that everything was in its correct place. Alfred coming back later and I don't want him to know that I was here."
"Why not?"
"Cuz, I made a big deal about not coming to the manor and if Alfred knew he'd get really cocky."
"A cocky butler and a cocky master of the apartment."
"Let's go."
They got into the car and this time Reese drove; he stopped the car and looked at Helena.
"Why don't I drop you off with your sister?"
"I don't want to see her, Detective."
"Why don't we go for coffee?"
"Sure, we are right in front of one."
They got out of the car and walked into the shop, Helena looked out the window and saw Barbara and Dinah walking. They must have just come back from Gibson's, Helena thought.
"I wouldn't blame you if you went with them," Reese said.
"I don't want to go," Helena replied.
"Did I ever mention you're a really bad liar?"
"I'm better than Dinah."
"Maybe you should talk to her."
"I don't want to, Reese."
"Than I'll make you."
"Huh?
Reese picked Helena up and put her over his shoulder and carried her outside, "Now go and talk to them," Reese said. Helena crossed her arms and turned to face Reese, she smiled and walked over to Barbara and Dinah.
~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!
"Boo!' Helena shouted behind Dinah and Barbara.
"Helena! You scared me," Barbara said turning to look at her.
"did I? Sorry," Helena replied.
"Helena I want to say sorry for writing the essay on you but I just do believe in you," Dinah said.
"Yeah well everyone makes mistakes."
"I don't think believing in the great Huntress is a mistake," Barbara said. "You'll go down in the legendary book of super herons."
"Can you imagine my kids trying to live up to that?"
"I think they'll do just fine, if you let Barbara train them."
All three women started to laugh, "Let's go back to the clock tower, Alfred left a whole pie," Dinah said.
"Let's go," Helena said.
"Really?" Barbara asked.
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"I learned something, my mom was and still is my family but so are you two and you spend the holidays with them. But you know me."
"So, where were you these past few days?" Dinah asked.
"Getting to know someone a little better." (A/N: She's speaking about herself and Reese.)
They started walking away and Helena turned around and looked at Reese and smiled; Reese smiled back. She placed her finger on the necklace and walked with Barbara and Dinah. He's earned more than my name, Helena thought as she walked away.

Author's Note: That' all folks! Sorry we were watching Loony Tunes. So, what did you think? Should we write a squeal seeing as we didn't tell you what the letter said or what was in the box? You tell us, if are there enough people who want the sequel then you'll get it if not well.we really don't know. Sorry, a=our brains are out right now. Please read and review.

"I can't believe Helena remembered, Alfred," Barbara said. "It's been sixteen years since I gave her those earrings." (A/N: Barbara is referring to the earrings she gave Helena in part one, with the bat symbol on them.)
"Maybe they meant something to Miss Helena," Alfred said placing a tray next to the computer.
"Alfred the last time she wore them was the day her mother died."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Alfred, I am. Ever since she found out who her father was she hasn't wore them."
Alfred took a photo album out of one of the drawers, "Look at this picture, Miss Helena was eighteen in this one."
"What about it, Alfred."
"Look at her ears, Miss Barbara. What is she wearing?"
"The earrings."
"And in this one and this one and this one and this one?" he asked going through most of the album.
"Okay, you proved me wrong, do you always have to be so superior?"
"It's a British thing, Miss Barbara."
Barbara shook her head and went back to work, "Miss Barbara, what are you doing?"
"Trying to find Helena, Alfred. I know she doesn't have her comm. Set on, but I can still try. Maybe Gibson's seen her."
"I doubt that, Miss Barbara. She hasn't been there since last week."
"At a bar?"
"Miss Barbara, I truly doubt that."
"She always spends her Christmas in one bar or another."
"Well not this one Miss Barbara, believe me, not this one."
"You know where she is, don't you Alfred?"
'I am sworn to secrecy," he replied zipping up an invisible zipper across his mouth.
"Alfred, it's illegal to with hold information," she said rolling after Alfred.
"We are not in a court room, Miss Barbara; there fore it is not illegal."
"If Bruce was asking, I know you would tell him, Alfred," she said stopping.
"I'm sorry to inform you Miss Barbara," he said turning around to face her. "But you are wrong. Miss Helena asked me not to tell you and I am not going to break her trust; if her life was in danger, than yes I would tell Master Bruce but she is perfectly safe where she is."
"Alfred, you know how much Helena means to me, she's like my daughter, and this is the last time I'm going to ask you," Barbara said losing her patients. "Tell me where the hell Helena is!!" she shouted close to tears.
"I'm sorry, Miss Barbara, I can't."
"No.you can.you just won't," she replied her voice distance.
"Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, Miss Barbara."
"Please, Alfred, please! Please! Please!"
"I'm sorry, Miss Barbara."
"Alfred! Alfred! Alfred!" she shouted with what was left of her voice.
It too all of Alfred's self control and love for Helena not to tell Barbara where Helena was, especially when her voice broke; it was heart breaking to him, so heart breaking to him.

Reese pulled out Helena's chair and she sat down, he sat across from her. Helena looked around the restaurant; it was very classy, great I wore the wrong clothes, she thought. A guy dressed in a penguin suit came over to take their over, and Helena wanted to laugh so badly. She had seen Alfred where the suit a few times but he could really pull it off, this guy just couldn't.
"And for you Miss?" the waiter asked.
"Huh?" Helena replied.
"What wound you like to drink?"
"Vodka. Rocks."
"I will be back to take you dinner orders," the waiter said then walked away.
"What's with penguin boy?" Helena asked.
"He does have a man," Reese replied.
"Yeah, but I like penguin boy better."

Alfred walked into the computer lab followed by Dinah, "miss Barbara you need to eat," Alfred said walking closer to her with the tray.
"Not know Alfred," Barbara said.
"But Miss Barbara." he started.
"Not know Alfred!" she snapped throwing the tray along with its condiments towards Dinah.
Dinah threw the objects that came flying at her into a wall near by; she almost missed the knife that came shooting through the air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I want to show you something," Helena said as they approached the car.
"Do I have to be blindfolded?" Reese asked.
"No, I just need your car keys, I'm driving."
"You can't drink and drive."
"I had one drink and I'm a Meta it doesn't effect me."
"Alright, but if you get caught."
"I'll knock out the cop."
"Let's just go."
They got into the car and Helena drove; she stopped when she came to two huge iron gates. (A/N: Maybe we should make this a five part story and leave you guys hanging.naw, let's just give them the story. Fine, you win. Thank you.) The gates had the letter B and W on it; the gates opened and she drove further in. she parked the car and got out of the car.
"Huntress, it is trespassing, we can't be here. This is Bruce Wayne's manor, he one of the richest men in the country."
"Thanks for the history lesson but I don't need it, I already knew that."
"Then why are you trespassing?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not trespassing, it's my manor."
"The only way this could be your manor is if Bruce Wayne is your father."
"Way the go Colombo," she said sarcastically.
"You're Bruce Wayne's daughter the multi-millionaire?"
"More like multi-billionaire, but yeah."
"And you live in that tiny apartment instead of this huge manor."
"I told you already I don't want anything to do with my father's money, I only wanted one thing from him and he never got it for me."
"And what was that?"
"For him to find the man who killed my father and then I wanted him dead."
"Understandable."
"Really? I thought you would give me some kind of 'we can't go around killing people' speeches."
"I would want the same thing too."
They walked over to the front door of the manor; Helena pushed the huge door open and hit home. It was just like the first time she had come to the manor; Reese walked right behind her as she walked further into the manor. She got lost in its magnificent beauty, it was mesmerizing. It was so quite, like no one ever lived and it looked just like that. Everything was spotless, Alfred has diffidently been keeping the house cleaning up, Helena thought.
"So, did you and your mom live here?" Reese asked.
"No, we lived in an apartment, well more of a penthouse," Helena replied.
"So, did you know about your father?"
"After my mother died."
"Oh."
Helena showed Reese the rest of the manor, everything except her father's room and the Bat cave. They walked towards the front door, Helena stopped in front of her father's door and went inside; she walked over to the desk and found that the letter she had written her father was gone and it it's place was an envelope with the name Helena Wayne-Kyle written on it in blue ink and a little velvet black box was next to it. She picked them both up and she put them in her pocket and walked out of the room.
"Huntress, Huntress!!" Reese shouted looking around.
"What!?!" Helena replied.
"Where were you?"
"I was making sure that everything was in its correct place. Alfred coming back later and I don't want him to know that I was here."
"Why not?"
"Cuz, I made a big deal about not coming to the manor and if Alfred knew he'd get really cocky."
"A cocky butler and a cocky master of the apartment."
"Let's go."
They got into the car and this time Reese drove; he stopped the car and looked at Helena.
"Why don't I drop you off with your sister?"
"I don't want to see her, Detective."
"Why don't we go for coffee?"
"Sure, we are right in front of one."
They got out of the car and walked into the shop, Helena looked out the window and saw Barbara and Dinah walking. They must have just come back from Gibson's, Helena thought.
"I wouldn't blame you if you went with them," Reese said.
"I don't want to go," Helena replied.
"Did I ever mention you're a really bad liar?"
"I'm better than Dinah."
"Maybe you should talk to her."
"I don't want to, Reese."
"Than I'll make you."
"Huh?
Reese picked Helena up and put her over his shoulder and carried her outside, "Now go and talk to them," Reese said. Helena crossed her arms and turned to face Reese, she smiled and walked over to Barbara and Dinah.
~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!~~~~!
"Boo!' Helena shouted behind Dinah and Barbara.
"Helena! You scared me," Barbara said turning to look at her.
"did I? Sorry," Helena replied.
"Helena I want to say sorry for writing the essay on you but I just do believe in you," Dinah said.
"Yeah well everyone makes mistakes."
"I don't think believing in the great Huntress is a mistake," Barbara said. "You'll go down in the legendary book of super herons."
"Can you imagine my kids trying to live up to that?"
"I think they'll do just fine, if you let Barbara train them."
All three women started to laugh, "Let's go back to the clock tower, Alfred left a whole pie," Dinah said.
"Let's go," Helena said.
"Really?" Barbara asked.
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"I learned something, my mom was and still is my family but so are you two and you spend the holidays with them. But you know me."
"So, where were you these past few days?" Dinah asked.
"Getting to know someone a little better." (A/N: She's speaking about herself and Reese.)
They started walking away and Helena turned around and looked at Reese and smiled; Reese smiled back. She placed her finger on the necklace and walked with Barbara and Dinah. He's earned more than my name, Helena thought as she walked away.
