CHAPTER 10
The next thing she knew Dinah came jumping over her head. Helena watched at Dinah flew towards the two reese, kicking both guns out of their hands. As she landed right past the two of them, she grabbed hold of the hand of the Reese on the right. She held it for no longer than a second when she let go and kicked him in the gut.
"Wow, impressive!" Helena smiled. She jumped into action and continued what Dinah had started. She went in heavy with the kicks to her ribs. She gave kicked her across the face, which caused her to flip rapidly a foot above the ground before crashing onto the ground.
While they were fighting, Reese and Dinah stepped back to allow the two of them to continue the fight. Raven had morphed back into her normal body. She was quickly getting weary and was loosing her strength.
Helena stepped forward to pick up back up onto her feet, but instead, she had found Reese' gun and turned around and stood up. Helena leaped out of the way as she pulled the trigger. The bullet missed hitting Helena's thigh by milli-inches as the bullet found a new target. It hit Reese in the shoulder blade, as he fell back on to the ground.
Helena looked at Reese as she climbed back to her feet, but then quickly turned her gaze back towards Raven who had a smile on her face. She returned her smile with a raged look; a look of murder in her eyes. Her pupils thinned to the size of a cat's pupil and then returned to normal. Instantly, she kicked the gun out of Raven's and went for a karate chop to the neck.
Raven caught her arm and swung her back into the wall. The sounds of sirens began to echoed from outside the open windows. Helena was ready to retaliate, but Raven had ran towards Reese and Dinah who was kneeling above Reese. Dinah ran back, thinking she was the her target, but she didn't follow her. Instead, she stood above Reese and reached into his pocket and pulled out the micro recorder. She opened it up and pulled out the mini cassette. She smiled at Helena as she dropped it to the ground and crushed it with her heal.
Helena looked Raven with extreme hatred in her eyes. "It appears that you were holding back too. It looks like our final battle must be put on hold for awhile. The police are here, and their coming for you, Helena Kyle." Raven smiled.
"I don't care. We're finishing this right here and right now!"
Raven morphed into Commissioner O'Reiley. "What are you going to do, kill the police commissioner in front of the officers? All I have to do is kill him just a little bit later and then it's all over for you and your friends." Helena was backed into the corner. There was nothing she could do, while she was morphed as the commissioner. She looked down at Reese then back up at Raven. "Don't worry about your boyfriend here, Helena. He will live. He will be taken to the hospital. Things won't go as well for you, however."
"Let's go, Dinah." Helena's nose flared at Raven and then turned. Helena and Dinah ran to the window.
"I don't know how to jump this far like you do?" Dinah said.
"Hold on to me," She said, looking back at Reese who was unconscious on the floor. With that she and Dinah leaped out the window.
Just as they had jumped out of the window, a large group of police officers charged into the studio. "It was the Huntress! She shot detective Reese! Someone call the paramedics, quickly!" the commissioner doppelganger order. The officers, complied to her instructions. She looked at the window that Helena had jumped out of and grinned. Her plan was almost foiled, but it was nothing she couldn't handle.
* * * *
"If it wasn't for Dinah, who knows what would have happened." Helena said to Barbra.
"That may be, but you still went against my orders," Barbra said. "You are not ready to take on such a threat as Raven. You could have seriously jeopardized Helena's safety. You will need to learn patience and control."
"Hello, everybody!" A familiar voice said. Walking onto the platform was Alfred who put his luggage down.
Barbra smiled with delight. "Welcome back, Alfred. How was your vacation?"
"Most refreshing, Master Barbra." He then noticed the butterfly bandage on Barbra's head, and the cuts and bruises on both Helena and Dinah's faces. "Did I miss something in my absence?"
Barbra smiled. "I'll let Helena and Dinah explain that to you. I have to go somewhere."
Helena and Dinah looked at each other, both wondering where Barbra was heading to, but before they could asked, she was already past Alfred and heading to the exit.

Danielle was back in her bar, sitting on a stool at the bar. She was still sore from being beaten up by Raven. She didn't want to go home right now. She just wanted to spend some time alone.
"I thought I might find you here," Barbra said controlling her wheelchair into the bar. Danielle was startled by the sudden intrusion. "Didn't mean to startle you. I though startling you would be impossible."
Daniel nearly laughed. "My powers doesn't work with you because you get around by a wheel chair. What I sense is the vibrations of someones heart that carries through the legs and into the ground. You don't stand on your legs, so it's very difficult for me to detect you."
"Interesting," Barbra said. "Anyway, you have helped us tremendously that I just wanted to give you this," Barbra handed her a roll of money.
"I can't take this. What I did, I did for Helena because I care. I don't expect repayment. All I wanted to do was help in anyway I can."
"You have been a great help. That is why, I also wanted to give you this," Barbra put the roll of cash onto the bar and then pulled out an ear piece and what looked like a contact lens case.
"I don't understand?" Danielle said.
"We want you to be part of the team. We need someone like you on the team, now more than ever."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Gordon, but like I said, I don't like to fight. I support everything you, Helena, and Dinah are fighting for, but I have no interest in joining in fighting myself."
"I'm not asking you to go out with Helena and fight villains. That's not the kind of help we need right now. Right now, we have been dealt a very crippling blow with Helena being framed for murder. She can no longer roam New Gotham as freely as she has been able to. We need an informant. Someone who can move through New Gotham freely and without hindrance, and report to me any suspicious activities or any clues that is found."
"That sounds great, but what about my bar? I still have to run this bar?"
"This will not hinder that whatsoever. You wouldn't have to report to the clock tower or live there with us. This place, in the past, has served us with many clues and information that has helped us take down some dangerous foes. You keeping this bar running, is exactly what we need, but just keep an eye open for us and tell me anything you find that may be something we need to know."
Danielle looked down at the technology she was handing her for a minute and then looked back up at Barbra. "You've got yourself a deal as long as you keep the money!" Barbra laughed as the two of them shook hands.
* * * *
the doppelganger of the Commissioner O'Reiley returned to the studio when everything was clear. She had been there for five minutes, waiting patiently. She morphed back into her Raven body and waited for the person she was to meet. A police officer had walked into the studio. Raven turned and smiled at the officer. The officer smiled back as the officer's body began to morph. After the change was done, there were two Raven's standing there, smiling at each other.
The other Raven, who had recently had taken the form of the commissioner morphed once again into a man with shaved black hair and green eyes with a black mustache. "Everything has worked out the way we wanted, Raven, my love!"
"I guess, but why didn't you finish Huntress off when you had the chance? For that matter, why couldn't I do it when I had first confronted her instead of tying her up?"
"Because, there are things far more worse than death, my love. What happens to a wild bird when you put it into a cage? It's life span diminishes, so in a way, it dies a slow death. Don't worry, my love, she will be captured, but right now, we have them so distraught, that we can continue on with our plan to rule Gotham."
Raven approached him and went into his arms and kissed him passionately on the lips. "You are a wonderful man!"
"I know. I am Shadow Fox, and like the fox, the little birds have become the prey!"
* * * *
Helena was standing on the ledge right in front of the clock, looking out onto the sunset that was dropping below the Gotham horizon. Depression was pricking her heart, and this was her favorite place to think things out. Helena looked to her right to see Barbra and Dinah join her on the ledge like they enjoy doing every night.
"Is something wrong, Helena?" Barbra asked.
"I hate this whole situation. I can't even visit Jesse in the hospital, and it's killing me!"
"We're going to get through this, Helena," Barbra said. "This is going to be a rough time for us, but in a way, this was our doing."
Both Helena and Dinah looked at her curiously. "What do you mean?" Dinah asked.
"For the past few weeks, we have enjoyed our freedom from the stress of living secret lives. Our secret was out, or so we thought. Fortunately our secret is still pretty strong right now. But right now, it's time we go back to work. Helena, it's back to being the mysterious Huntress, a lifestyle of stealth and mystery. The evil forces of New Gotham has come back with a vengeance. They have taken the war to a new level, and now we must do the same. Our vacation has come to an end. It's time we meet the evil forces eye to eye, and I am confident in the both of you and with the help of our new partner, Danielle, that we will overcome the dark shadow that is covering New Gotham. Are you two with me?" Barbra stuck her hand out in front of her, her palm facing downward.
"I'm in!" Dinah said as she placed her right palm on top of Barbra's.
"What the hell. Sounds interesting," Helena grinned as she placed the palm of her right hand on top of Dinah's.
