HEY EVERYBODY, PLEASE, READ AGAIN CHAPTER VI, I FORGOT POST A PART OF IT AND I REALIZED THAT TODAY..

Thanks for your reviews, really, and thanks to Yank and Nightstalker for her help.

Barbara began to slide down slowly. She fell near the Huntress' feet and looked into her eyes, they were devoid of expression. A trickle of blood began to run across her cheek. Huntress turned and walked toward the exit with out saying a word. Barbara tried to ask for help but she couldn't talk, she saw Huntress disappear behind the door.

Barbara felt the coolness of the floor, and a tear appeared in her eyes, she couldn't save Helena, and she couldn't save herself. She had failed.

* * *

Dinah entered to the lab, she found Barbara sleeping deeply, with her head resting over her arms on one of the tables in the lab. Barbara had been up all night trying to prepare the poison. One of the machines began to beep and startled Barbara awake.

"Helena no!" she exclaimed, opening her eyes and looking around wildly.

"It's me, easy" Dinah said. "Are you okay?"

"Uh?. Oh, just a bad dream.don't worry" Barbara covered her face with her hands.

"You look so tired, you need to rest Barbara."

"I'm fine, please bring me the small guns that are in my desk."

Dinah raised her eyebrows and walked upstairs to Barbara's desk. Barbara still felt the Huntress' claw in her stomach. She looked it, it was a very real dream. She took a deep breath, she had a deep feeling of failure in her soul.

A few minutes later, Dinah entered to the laboratory taking the small guns that Barbara had requested, she filled some small capsules with a greenish liquid.

"What is that?" Dinah asked as gave her the guns.

"It is the poison, one is for you, another for me, it is necessary to shoot Huntress with them, you or me, the first one that sees her." Barbara loaded the darts from the gun with the capsules. "You only have a shot, don't fail"

"And the antidote?"

"I have to prepare it now..."

The Delphi alert sounded, Dinah ran to the monitor. Barbara reached the monitor seconds later.

"It's the factory of toxic waste," Dinah explained typing on the keyboard "they have just ordered the evacuation...."

"I am sure that it's Ra's with Huntress, we have to go, it's our opportunity to stop them." Barbara went to look for the transponder.

"The antidote?"

"No time, let's go."

* * *

Ra's placed explosive in some tanks in the factory of toxic waste. Bastet had broken the thick safe-deposit doors with her sharps claws and had broken into the control room. She had been able to knock out the whole security team using her combat skills and she climbed on the high containers of the toxic substances placing the explosives. Ra's prepared the last loads and he laughed, Bastet arrived from a jump to his side. Ra's showed her the remote control.

"Everything will finished in a moment, and tomorrow, the president arrives, I believe that I will be able to pay him a visit with you and we will be able to advance much quicker."

A batarang crossed through the air and hit him in the hand. Bastet looked from where it had come, Dinah and Oracle were stopped in one of the accesses. She gave an express jump toward them and Dinah had to push Oracle to prevent her from falling into her, Bastet reached over, trying to grab Dinah's jacket and she fanned her against a grate.

Dinah fell to the floor, she was surprised by the speed of Huntress, she was getting up when she felt a tremendous impact in her stomach that took out her air, Bastet had impacted all her body against her.

Barbara knocked Ubu with a very strong blow and throw him against a window. She walked toward Ra's.

"And who are you to interrupt my plans?" Ra's asked Oracle taking out its sword.

"Somebody that will stop..." Oracle took out her Escrima sticks quickly.

"Ok, it's your turns." Ra's attacked her but she was very skilled with her Escrima sticks, and she stopped the first blow with her right hand and with the left she hit him in the ribs.

Dinah had problems with Bastet, it was not the same fight with a villain than with a Goddess in a meta-human body. Bastet clawed her and she reached to hurt her in the arm, Dinah gave her a furious look to her hand and stopped it in mid-air.

"Wow" she was surprised herself "That was very good."

Dinah began to build a kind of protective shield with her mental powers in front of her, to avoid the blows from Bastet, if she hit her, she could kill her, she began to think quick what to do, she had her pinned against a wall. She wondered how she had been able to give the canary cry, she began to attempt it but she only screamed normaly.

Bastet suddenly heard the call of Ra's', Oracle was beating him, she ran towards them. She stopped in between Oracle and Ra's, showing her sharp claws as she grunted. She hit her strongly in the face.

"She is one of those that want to see this world transformed into ashy Bastet" Ra's shouted to Bastet "It's necessary to kill her!"

As Bastet came closer to her, Oracle instinctively stepped back. Dinah arrived running and she fell against Huntress, both stumbled to the floor. Bastet raised her claw, but Dinah stopped it with her hand. The brut force that Huntress used was impressive and it began to overtake her. Dinah focused all her concentration in on Huntress' claw and she made her hit herself, stunning Huntress for a moment.

Ra's attacked Oracle repeatedly with the sword, but Oracle stopped each impact with her Escrima sticks and with a quick strike she knocked the sword out of his hands. Oracle then went on the attack. Oracle noticed that Huntress was on top of Dinah and was trying to stab Dinah with her claw. Oracle quickly reached into her pocket and took out the dart gun, aimed and shot Huntress.

The dart hit Huntress' back, she got up and turned toward her attacker, she managed only to take a few steps before dizziness overcame her. Huntress' eyes rolled back into her head and she fell face forward.

Oracle was still aiming the gun, when Ra's hit her wrist with the back of his sword with force, she felt and heard the sickening crunch of bones breaking. Oracle cried out in pain, she dropped the gun as she fell to her knees clutching her wrist.

"What did you do to her!?" Ra's Al Ghul ran toward Huntress and he took her pulse. Desperate, he turned her face up "No, get up!" he bent over her to listen her heart and place his hands on her chest and began to pump it "No! No! "

"Death was the only way to end her being Bastet, right?" Dinah looked at him furious "Without Huntress alive, there is no Batset!" Dinah focused all of her concentration on him, Ra's felt invisible hands around his neck. Using only the power of her mind, she lifted up more than a foot off the ground she began to strangle him.

"No Dinah!" Oracle screamed, surprised just how strong Dinah was.

"You used me to achieve your sick plans, you bastard! " Dinah screamed him "You made me hurt Huntress! You hurt Oracle! What do you believe that you deserve?"

Oracle ignored the pain in her wrist, stood up and walked over to Dinah; she touched Dinah's shoulder with her good arm.

"Dinah, he's finished, he's lost the game." she said, "He's not worth you killing. We don't kill, remember. No matter what."

"Even for everything he's done to us?" Dinah cried.

"Dinah... look," Oracle pointed to Helena lying lifeless on the floor, her face began to transform "You leave him alive, he will go to jail, Right now we have to save Helena, remember the antidote, if we don't give it to her soon, She really will die."

Dinah understood, Oracle was right, Huntress was the most important thing in that moment, she allowed her mind to let go of Ra's, he crumpled to the floor heap floor spluttering and coughing. Dinah lifted him and tied him to on of the huge pillars.

Oracle leaned next to Huntress, her face was normal again, and she took a piece of glass of the floor and placed it in front of her nose. A light film of steam formed, a good sign.

"Oracle, your wrist." Dinah said.

"No! Not now, we have to take Helena immediately to the Clock Tower and prepare the antidote." Oracle said as she got up, "I will help you, put one of her arms around my neck and you take the other side. We'll call Reese from the Hummer to pick up Ra's."

Knowing Oracle was running on pure adrenalin right now, Dinah obeyed her and lifted Helena off the floor.

* * *

Barbara and Dinah arrived at the Clock Tower with Helena, Alfred waited for them in the parking garage with a stretcher. Dinah and Alfred wheeled Helena to a special room that previously Barbara had prepared to help Helena and give the necessary medications. Barbara meanwhile walked quickly to her room to take off the neuralizer. After a few agonizing minutes on her bed, Barbara climbed into her wheelchair being careful of her wrist and started toward special room.

"Alfred, please see to Barbara's wrist, it's broken." Dinah asked.

"No! " Barbara exclaimed "Alfred, connect her to the monitors, I need to see her heart activity, blood pressure and vital signs." Alfred immediately began to work.

"Well," Barbara wheeled to Helena's side "it's necessary to channel her with normal saline, she's having trouble breathing, we need help her, Dinah, take the table that I left prepared behind you and I will tell you what to do."

"Am I going to put a tube down her throat?" Dinah asked, eyes going wide.

"You have to learn, place Helena right on the bed, extend her head and flex lightly the neck, it's necessary to align three axes: the mouth, larynx and the windpipe. You have to introduce the tube smoothly, and as quick as possible."

After seconds that were eternal to Dinah, she was able to introduce the tube into Helena's throat and connect it to the ventilator to help her breathe. Barbara looked at the monitor; suddenly a small beep was heard.

"We have her." she exclaimed, "We have her! Dinah, we have to prepare the antidote, we don't have much time."

Dinah s began to work with Barbara guiding her every step of the way. Barbara followed every movement of Dinah and gave her instructions. When the mixture was finished, they went to where Helena was.

Dinah extended Helena's forearm and she injected it. "Will she be ok?" Dinah asked wiping the sweat off her forehead with the back of he hand.

"Wait, we have to wait to the antidote reverses the affects. All we can do is sit here and wait." Barbara looked at Helena's terribly pale face, her lips were white. It broke Barbara's heart to see Helena, usually so strong, attached to a machine that helped her to breathe. Alfred walked over at that moment with a splint kit.

"Miss Barbara, give me your arm." Alfred pleaded.

"Alfred I don't.." Barbara tried to move away, only to hiss in pain.

"We have to immobilize your wrist, Miss Barbara and you need take some pills for the pain. You will help Helena more if you are strong enough to help, not if you are in agony."

Barbara nodded her head as she begrudgingly agreed, Alfred was right, she couldn't do anything do more for Helena. She wheeled near the table and supported her hurt hand there. She bit her lip to avoid screaming in pain when Alfred took her arm, and placed it in the orthopedic splint He left on the table two pills and a glass of water.

"Take those and soon you will be feeling better." He said as he smiled and walked toward Dinah."Now it's your turn, Miss Dinah. Let me help you with your jacket I need to check your arm, also I believe you are hurt."

Dinah, in that moment remembered that Helena had clawed her arm. "Oh, I forgot." She said as she looked at her jacket. "It's not deep."

"I see but it still needs cleaning." Alfred smiled."The three of you never take proper care of yourselves, please allow me."

* * *

Dinah went out to the balcony to get some air; she needed to be alone for a while, now she understood even more, the importance of training appropriately.

The time lapsed slowly, Dinah felt restless and she returned to the room where Huntress was. Barbara was seated in front of the monitor that registered her cerebral activity and the heart rhythm of Helena; the respirator had been replaced with an oxygen mask. The faint beep of the monitor was the only sound in the room.

"I don't understand, the antidote worked, but she's not coming out of it." Barbara said in low voice when felt Dinah's presence behind her. "Helena is still critical. I have checked everything and I don't understand why... Can you stay with her a moment? I just want to freshen up a little bit." Barbara wheeled away heading for her bedroom, she entered her bathroom and washed her face.

Barbara stared into the mirror at her reflection "What have I done?" Helena was in a coma, alive in the sense physically but not mentally. Barbara feared that when Bastet entered her, it had been too mentally and physically draining on Helena, forcing her body to limits that were beyond even Helena's Meta capabilities. After the possession, Helena could be too weak to recover from the poison that she injected into her.
