PART IN THIS CHAPTER!!
******************************
A strong scent caused Huntress to open her eyes. It took her a few seconds to understand where she was. She raised her head, it felt heavy. The place was strange, like the inside of an old temple, only illuminated with torches; Egyptian hieroglyphics were painted on the walls. She was on her knees and Ubu, the gigant bodyguard of Ra's, held her strongly by the forearms. She noticed that her feet and hands were tied with long chains to the base of an enormous statue with woman's body and cat head, Bastet.
"Hello Huntress," Ra's was in front of her with salts in his hand. "I am glad that you woke up, I have brought you to your new house."
Helena felt dazed. She realized that she couldn't hear, she only saw his lips moving. Ra's gave the salts to Dinah. Helena saw the blond girl and was very worried, What had that man done to her? She didn't recognize her.
"You have the characteristics that it looked for," Ra's continued, without knowing that Huntress was deaf. "You are the perfect element for Goddess Bastet. I need her, her powers and protection to reach success with my plans... and you will help bring her to me."
Ra's clapped and Dinah gave him a vessel with bird form. Huntress didn't have any idea as to what was happening, but she knew immediately that she was in serious trouble.
Dinah stepped to Huntress' side and grabbed her neck with her forearm. With her hand, she covered her nostrils. Huntress couldn't believe what Dinah was doing and she struggled, fighting to get loose. She closed her mouth until she had to open it to take air to her lungs, in that moment Ra's grabbed her jaw and put the mouth of the vessel in her mouth and made her to drink its contents, a viscous and bitter liquid.
Huntress felt that she was drowning and had to swallow, drops of the liquid began to slip over her cheeks. Ra's emptied the whole content of the vessel and then, Dinah closed Huntress' mouth with her hands so she couldn't spit it out.
"Now, daughter of Batman," Ra's told her, "you are ready be sacrificed, a God is going to live again thanks to you, we only have to wait. Rise, Bastet..."
Dinah and Ubu dropped her and Huntress coughed several times and fell to the floor. Ra's laughed and left the room with Dinah and Ubu. Huntress was furious, she took one of the thick chains that tied her to the wall into her hands and began to pull, but it was useless. With rage she kicked several times the base of the link in the wall trying to remove it, but it was deeply buried.
She fell over her knees supporting her head and hands on the cold floor, something was happening to her... that strange beverage was making her feel sick, everything moved around her. She couldn't call Oracle, Dinah had totally surprised her with the Canary Cry, She was deaf and her ears hurt her a lot. She was trapped.

Alfred arrived at the Clock Tower as soon as he could. Barbara had called him so he could helped her. She typed faster in her keyboard looking for a signal from Huntress and Dinah.
"Thanks God you are here..." she said when she saw him.
"What happened?" as Alfred came closer to her, Barbara rotated her wheelschair.
"Things got complicated," she explained "Ra's Al Ghul, the old enemy of Batman, is behind all of this and he has Dinah, who he used to catch Huntress."
"Does he have Ms. Helena?"
"Yes, somehow Ra's was able to make Dinah sing the Canary Cry, that was the noise that we heard in the Museum the first time. Helena couldn't do anything against it. She wasn't prepare for that, Dinah surprised her, such as she surprised me. He is planning to use Helena to bring to an old Egyptian Goddess back to life, and so that she will help him in his plans. I have to find them."

Huntress didn't know how much time had lapsed since they had left her tied there. She was face up, she tried to liberate the pressure that she felt on her chest and that didn't allow her breathe. She felt terrible and her ears had not stopped hurting.
Suddenly she heard steps, apparently she was recovering her hearing, inspite of all the bad, she felt an enormous relief. Ra's returned only with Dinah, Huntress tried to see them but she couldn't focus. Dinah stopped in the entrance, Ra's walked toward her.
"Well, well," the villain said, leaning next Huntress, "you surprise me, you are really strong, you are giving battle to Batset. My potion should have already had you mentally empty and allowed Batset to take possession of you freely."
He used his fingers to lift her lids and to examine Huntress' eyes, her pupils were two thin lines, her irises had a dark orange color. He smiled and he opened her mouth, the youth's eyeteeth had grown a few millimeters.
"Very well Huntress!" Ra's exclaimed pleased "You are a worthy carrier of a Goddess. But it would be easier for you, if you stopped fighting against Bastet. Let her enter in you, it's useless that you resist, Bastet only needs a few hours, she is a Goddess, and you are only a 'half' human being".
"Bastard..." Huntress mumbled trying to wake up uselessly.
Ra's walked to the exit "Just hours... shall we go Dinah?" he asked.
"I will join you in a moment" the youth responded observing Huntress.
Ra's left the room wanting to go to sleep for a while. Dinah walked closer to Huntress, there was something in her that called her attention and she didn't know what it was. Huntress moved restlessly on the floor. Helena felt Dinah's presence, and made an effort to turn her head to look at her, her cat-like eyes bore into Dinah who shivered in response.
"Dinah... please..." Huntress whispered.
Dinah saw her immobile and she hesitated a moment, she shook her head. Helena was turned trying to put her face down and get on her knees, suddenly she jumped over Dinah and hugged her legs making her fall. Huntress tried to get Dinah to touch her, perhaps in that way she could see her mind, her memories, and wake up out of the trance.
"Release me!" the blond youth exclaimed moving her feet to disengage, but Huntress held her strongly, Dinah straightened out and grabbed Huntress' arms. A series of images became present as an avalanche in her mind. She felt a tremendous electric discharge that threw her back and knocked her half conscious.
After a few minutes she opened her eyes, she felt like she was waking up out of a nightmare and she began to remember what had happened. She looked scaredly at the roof, she was in a unknown place and she quickly got up.
It had not been a bad dream, it was reality. She suddenly looked at Huntress was curling herself on the floor, moaning softly.
"Helena?" she knelt down next to her and straightened her hair, she was sweating so much, and saw her strange and distant eyes.
"Dinah, help me..." Huntress groaned breathing excitedly.
Dinah was paralized and felt terribly guilty about her friend's condition, it was the same image of Helena in her nightmares, the color of her eyes, the same suppliant look, the same place.
"No, no, no" she began to say "This cannot be happening. Helena.... What did I do to you?" her eyes became moist and she hugged her stronger. "God! What I have done to you?". Her nightmares weren't dreams, they were a vision of the future.
"Help me, I'm dying..." Huntress said weakening.
"No, you are not dying" Dinah knew that there was little time before they discovered her. "I won't let you, I have to take you out of here."
The girl focused all her mental power on opening the links that held Huntress' hands and feet. As soon as she freed her, she took Huntress' arm and put it over her back.
"Come on, get up, we have to leave."
