Dinah ran down to the bank and looked on as Barbara was doing CPR on Huntress.

"1001, 1002, 1003, Helena please!" Oracle said looking Helena's face "You can do it, come on, 1001, 1002."

Dinah looked her in silence, where had Ra's come from?. He had dissapeared in the quicksand and, hopefully they would not see him again, but now she felt a great anguish for Huntress. Barbara continued trying to bring back Huntress, Dinah held her breath.

Helena 's body jerked as she spat out water and muck. Oracle turned Helena on her side so she didn't choke.

"You did it, Helena." Oracle said as she.

Barbara's eyes snapped open as she woke up and let go of Dinah's hand. Helena, meanwhile woke up and struggled with the oxygen mask trying to take it off, but Barbara grabbed onto hand. Helena's eyes opened halfway confused not knowing where she was.

"Easy Hel, take it easy. Barbara told her "Take deep breaths and let it out slowly. Everything is alright."

"Is she alive?" Dinah woke up suddenly confused.

"Yes, alive and awake." Barbara smiled as she still held the oxygen mask on and held onto Helena's hand that was struggling to take it off. "It's okay, Helena easy, okay, you're safe. No one's going to hurt you."

Helena recognized Barbara and stopped struggling. She sighed with relief and closed her eyes. The nightmare was over

"You're going to be okay," Barbara told her looking at the monitors, her beat began to return to a normal rhythm "The worst is over... Dinah, hold the mask, please, I need to check her vital signs on the monitor."

Dinah held the oxygen mask over Helena's face.

"See." she said smiling, "I told you, I wouldn't leave you there."

Helena nodded her head slightly and squeezed Dinah's hand lightly. Helena felt very tired, but she was safe, she was home.

They moved Helena into Barbara's room and now, a few hours later, Dinah stood quietly in the doorframe, unnoticed. Helena dozed still hooked up to IV's and oxygen, Barbara was sitting in her chair beside her, she sat there for hours just looking at Helena. The invisible tie that unites them was impressive, in spite of being so different in personalities, Barbara being like a ray of sunshine, and Helena being the dark and broody storm cloud.

Every day Dinah marveled how their connection grew, created by their mutual tragedies. They will be forever connected and each has grown through tolerance and acceptance. Helena and Barbara can most definitely bring out the best and worst of each other, but the invisible tie that binds them is strong enough to see them through even the darkest of times.

Helena stirred restlessly in the bed and she half-opened eyes. She was still very weak; it took a few seconds to realize she was in Barbara's bedroom. She looked over to her right to find Barbara.

"Hello" Barbara smiled. Helena moved her arm slowly trying to reach Barbara's hand. She held onto Barbara's hand and squeezed it gently. "How do you feel?"

Helena nodded slightly with her head "What happened?" she asked in a weak voice.

"Dinah was given a potion by Ra's to completely control her mind. Dinah then helped give you Ra's potion so he could 'Save the World', and bring the ancient goddess Bastet back by having you possessed by her. You forced Dinah to touch you and her memories came flooding back and that broke the hold he had over her" Barbara explained. "but you were possesed by Bastet for several days..."

Helena whispered, "...Dinah?"

"She is fine, she's so worried because she hurt you with her newfound Canary Cry... Dinah doesn't know how she did it. She's been trying to repeat it without success, yet. However with practice I think that will be a formidable weapon. Don't worry I am going to build a soundproof room and develop some kind of earplugs for us. Until then, however I will keep her practice limited to far away from your ears. " Barbara smiled "Oh, I figured out what was wrong with your ears. Your eardrums were ruptured, they will heal on their own and your hearing is fine."

Helena gave her a slight smile and eyed the splint on Barbara's wrist. Barbara saw where Helena was looking and raised the splint up.

"Ah. kitchen accident..." Barbara explained as she raised her eyebrows.

"That is so a lie. You don't cook." Helena said with weak voice. "And that bruise in your cheek?"

"Shh. Don't talk. I'll be okay in a few weeks. Please don't worry about it, it's nothing." Barbara played it off.

Helena looked the oxygen tank and the monitors around her.

"Don't worry," Barbara arranged the bag of saline next to her " I promise that you are going to be fine, the worst is over. I'm going to take this off tomorrow morning. You are weak yet and I prefer to monitor you just one more day."

Barbara rubbed her hands and lowered her eyes "I'm sorry Hel, I failed you," she said in low voice "I almost killed you with my hasty." Helena tried to say something but Barbara forestalled her, "Shh, please, let me finish... I thought that the only way to save your life was taking you to the brink of death... I didn't stop to think that you were very weak and you couldn't come out of it. I had accused you many times of being impulsive and reckless, I believe that this time I was the one..." Barbara bit her lip and tears were welling up in her eyes. "I was so afraid I'd lose you, I was so frightened."

Helena shakily moved her hand to remove the oxygen mask so she could speak. "Don't cry... please."she muttered. "You saved me..."

"No. Dinah saved you, she rescued you. So many times we've seen Dinah as an impulsive girl but she has matured into a young woman before our eyes." Barbara told Helena.

"Barbara" Dinah entered to the room with crossed arms "It was my fault, all of it. I', the one to blame here, not you."

"Dinah," Barbara wheeled around to look at her. "We talked about this already."

"Yes, and I remember that you said that in our line of work there are risks, we make mistakes though and make bad decision. It's part of being human, we all make mistakes." Dinah said to Barbara.

"Score one for the kid..." Helena chuckled softly and placed the mask back on again.

"Barbara" Dinah crouched down next to her "You've always had the biggest responsibility. Even the great Oracle can't be perfect all the time You were exhausted when we spoke about how to save Helena, remember?. Also, Helena and I both know how much you love us and that you would give your life for us and we would do the same for you."

Dinah stood up and looked over at Helena. Dinah was so happy to see Helena's eyes shining brilliant blue again.

"You got hurt too... " Helena said quietly as she looked at the bandage on Dinah's arm. "Did I...?"

"Ah, no...um...kitchen accident." Dinah answered. Barbara wrinkled her nose and pinched Dinah. It was the same excuse that she had given to Helena.

Dinah jumped, 'What? What did I say?" She asked.

"Thanks Dinah," Helena said quietly. Oh boy her friends were such bad liars.

"No, Hel," she smiled, "I owe you a huge debt and I don't think I will ever be able to repay it."

"Debt? ...What debt?" Helena asked

"For your advice, your help, your yelling at me, your relentless teasing, for the beatings that you give me in the training room, you are that perfect annoying big sister that just loves to torment the little sister, like me." Dinah said seriously.

Huntress coughed and laughed through the oxygen mask. Barbara also laughed, and looked Dinah.

"Dinah, don't do that." She said, "She's not quite strong enough yet. Helena needs rest as a matter of fact so do we. Okay Hel rest, we'll be back later," Helena nodded her head in agreement. Barbara covered her with a sheet and Helena closed her eyes and nodded right off to sleep.

Barbara wheeled the chair outside of the room and Dinah followed her.

"Barbara," Dinah stopped Barbara outside "I hope someday I will become just a fraction of the wonderful person that you are." Barbara was speechless. Dinah had become to think of Barbara as a mother figure. "You and Helena are my family, I know that I'm too young yet, but I hope could give to you a small part of all the wonderful things that you have given me."

Barbara hugged her. Dinah was right, they were a family.

Thanks to all for your comments. I enjoy writing it, I hope you too.
