Jamie was standing on the same rooftop, on the same ledge, looking over the edge. "I figured you'd show up here…"
Helena walked up beside her and stood up on the ledge. "So you're a runaway?"
"Something like that… look, you gotta back off. You gotta stop looking for me and researching me like I'm some damn school project. Alright? Just leave me alone." Jamie got off the ledge and headed for the fire escape again.
Helena stayed right beside her the entire way there. "You need help, Jamie. I don't know how or why, but I know you do. I can help you. I have friends who can help you."
"I don't need help!" Jamie practically yelled. She stopped walking and looked at Huntress. "I'm not some charity case, alright? I'm a big girl, I think I can handle myself. Besides, the last person who tried to help me has people following me around. It's not safe around me. Just go away." she quickly made her way down the fire escape.
On the ground she came face to face with Helena. Neither one of the girls were willing to give up without a fight.
"I'm not going anywhere." Helena shrugged her shoulders and firmly stood her ground.
Obviously she didn't stand too firmly because when Jamie shoved her she stumbled backwards and fell. "Don't make me do this, Huntress. I don't want to hurt you. I just want you to leave me alone."
Helena got up slowly. "I have a feeling that, given the chance, you wouldn't hurt me anyway. You know you need me…I just want to help, Jamie."
"I don't need you and I don't need your help! I swear this is the last time I'm telling you, leave me alone!" Jamie sounded pretty mad now.
"Get out of there, Huntress!" Oracle warned over the comm. She could hear that things we're going the way Helena had planned.
"I'm not leaving, Oracle." Helena said to Barbara. "I'm not leaving." she then repeated to Jamie.
"You have an imaginary friend named Oracle?" Jamie was beginning to think Huntress wasn't the sharpest crayon in the box. She quickly shook her head. "Whatever. Just go!"
"I told you, I'm not leaving." Helena firmly stood her ground both figuratively and physically.
Jamie closed her eyes and Helena flew into the alley wall.
Helena hit the wall pretty hard and fell to the ground as Jamie began to walk out of the alley.
Jamie looked back at Helena who was on the ground holding her arm. "I'm sorry, but I can't have to around." she then quickly ran from the alley.
"Huntress? Are you alright?" Barbara had her Helena hit the wall and she had heard what Jamie had said so, needless to say, she was worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Helena stood up. "My pride is wounded, but I'm alright."
"Helena, you have to stay away from Jamie. There is no doubt in my mind that if she has to, she will try to kill you… and she might even get away with it." Barbara couldn't believe she was actually thinking that someone could actually take Huntress… but it seemed like a good possibility.
"I can't do that, Barbara. She needs my help… not Huntress' help… she needs Helena's help. Maybe all she needs is a friend, someone to care." Helena sighed. "I can't just give up, Barbara. You know me... Once I set my mind on something, there's no changing it." she turned off her comm. and took off in the direction Jamie had went.
It was all going to end that night. Helena knew there were three possible outcomes. Jamie either let her help, one of them ended up killing the other, or Helena actually listened to Barbara… on second thought… only the first two were actually possibilities.
Neither girl could ever have expected what the night would bring. But it would change both their lives forever.
