Jamie Nobel stood on the edge of one of New Gotham's highest rooftops. She stared silently at the ground as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Helena Kyle… Huntress quietly walked up behind her. She stood there for a few seconds trying to figure out how to coax the girl down. "Ya know… it's a long trip from here to the ground… and I'm pretty sure you can't turn around if you change your mind."
Jamie looked back at Helena. "You think I'm gonna jump?"
"You look like the suicidal type… and you're standing awfully close to the edge."
Jamie look at her clothes. All black, an amazing resemblance to Huntress' clothes. "Yeah… right." she turned back and looked down at the ground.
Helena got up on the small ledge with her. "What's your name kid?"
"It's not kid." Jamie got off the ledge and walked toward the fire escape.
Helena walked with her. The girl reminded her a lot of herself. "Alright, I won't call you kid if you tell me what your name is."
"Night Angel." Jamie began to climb down the fire escape.
Huntress jumped down to the end of the ladder. "Night Angel? That's not a name, that's a way of dodging the truth."
Jamie got down to Helena and looked at her. "That's what everyone calls me. No one really seems to care about my real name."
"I care about your real name. So what is it… kid?" Helena was trying to annoy the girl into giving her her name.
"Jamie… and you are?"
"Huntress… a.k.a. Helena."
"Shouldn't that be the other way around? Ya know, your real name first and you're alias second?"
"Most people call me Huntress… half the people I know don't even know my real name, so it's more of an alias."
The two girls got down to the ground.
"You're not from around here, are you?" Helena was almost sure the girl wasn't.
"Yeah, I am. I've lived here all my life. I just don't come out much." Jamie looked at her watch. "I gotta go." she took off running and by the time Helena got around the corner she was gone.
For some reason Helena had a bad feeling about the girl, like she wasn't really a good person to discover. But then there was another feeling that maybe… just maybe the two of them could actually get along. There was definitely something there. Helena would just have to wait to find out…
