CHAPTER 9
Raven laughed mockingly at the two of them. "This is more fun than I could have hoped for."
Helena lip was bloody, and she was almost certain that a rib was broken. She didn't know if she would be able to get up fast enough to defend herself, as much good that would do her when she was blind. Helena fought the pain to try to sit up. Dinah placed her hands on her arm, wanting to keep her down. Dinah was going to protect Helena even if it meant her dying to save her.
Helena began to feel very strange the moment her hands touched the skin of her arm. It was a feeling that she could not describe since she had felt nothing like it before in her life. The pain in her ribs began to subside. She felt new strength coming over her. Helena blinked her eyes. The blackness had turned into a tunnel vision. There was a small circle blurriness surrounded by the blackness. The blurriness began to push back the blackness until finally all there was was a giant blur. From there, the blurriness began to become more clearer until she could see clearly. She could See Raven slowly approaching them. Her sight had returned. She looked in the corner of her eye towards Dinah and saw her hands touching her arm. She could see a golden light emanating from her hands.
"So who's going to die first?" Raven asked.
Dinah went to stand up to prepare to fight Raven when Helena leaped up and landed in front of Raven. She spun around to her right and kicked Raven in the side of her head with her left leg. Raven stumbled onto the right computer station. Raven stood up and rubbed the side of her face with an angry look on her face.
"If you think you can kill me, then take me first!" Helena grinned.
Something was different about the Huntress. Both she and Dinah knew it. Raven lunged at Helena with fury in her eyes. She went to punch Helena in the face, but she raised up her left arm and blocked the attack. Raven leaned back and tried to kick Helena in the face, but Helena ducked under the kick, and kicked Raven behind the knee cap on the one leg she was standing on, causing her to fall onto her back.
Dinah watched amazed. How could Helena be fighting like this when she was supposed to be blind? What happened to Helena? Raven turned to her stomach and pushed herself up onto her feet before turning to face Helena. "I don't know how, but you can see! You're not blind anymore!"
Helena grinned, as she wiped the blood from her lower lip. "I can see you as clear as day. The Huntress has returned."
"I suppose it doesn't really matter. You have never been able to take me on even at perfect health. I'll just end up getting a better work out."
"Bring it on, Bitch!" Helena replied.
Raven jumped onto the computer station behind her and the leaped backwards, high up to land on the second floor near the kitchen. Helena turned to look at Dinah. "Stay out of this, Dinah. This is between her and me!" Helena ran and jumped onto the computer station and took a flying leap onto the second level near the kitchen as well. Raven Spun to her right, doing a spin kick for her face, but Helena did a spin kick in the opposite direction and their ankles met between the two of them. Both women lowered their legs as Raven did two consecutive back flips into the kitchen area. Helena chased her into the kitchen area. Helena went in for that attack with her first. She swung for Raven's face, but she leaned to her right and did a cartwheel up onto the kitchen island, where she caught Helena unprepared and kicked her across the face. Helena stumbled backwards until she was leaning up against the railing.
Raven hopped off the Island and ran at Helena. She went for a jab to the right, but Helena stepped aside to avoid the punch. She turned to face Raven and kicked her across the back.
Raven grimaced in pain as she turned around with an angry look towards Helena. Raven morphed into Inferno and she raised her right arm, pointing her palm at Helena. Helene knew what was about to happen so she jumped high into the air and cart wheeled over the railing as a beam of fire launched from the palm of Raven's hand.
Helena landed on her feet just before the metal platform. Helena knew that Raven would have to morph back into her own body to be able to leap down onto the first level. As she had expected, Raven did just that and landed directly in front of Helena. Helena jumped at Raven, with her right foot stuck out in front of her, hoping to sticking the flat of her foot into her chest. Raven caught Helena's ankles and swung her around threw her onto the metal platform. The wind was knocked out of her, as she struggled to get back to her feet.
Seeing Helena in trouble, Dinah jumped in to take on Raven next. Dinah jumped onto the computer station and over the head of Raven. Raven watched Dinah as she flew over her head and landed behind her. Dinah went with a high kick to Raven's neck, but Raven saw it coming and blocked her kick with her left arm. Raven grinned as she began to morph once again. Dinah's jaw dropped as she morphed into Barbara Gordon. "How do you feel about fighting with Oracle?"
Raven took advantage of the stunned Dinah by delivering a powerful punch into Dinah's jaw. Dinah stumbled to her right a few steps, leaving her wide open for another attack by Raven. Raven violently grabbed Dinah by her arm and twisting it behind her back. Dinah squealed in pain. "You are out of your league, brat!" Raven grinned. Raven morphed into Dinah and then used the powers that came with the body to help her throw Dinah into the wall.
A loud crashing came from behind her. Raven spun around to see Nightwing having broken down the front door. Nightwing charged at Raven. Still morphed as Dinah, she grinned as she used her telepathic powers to pierce his mind once again, yet somehow it didn't seem to work this time. "What the hell?"
Her shock distracted her long enough for Nightwing to deliver a punch across the face. "You trick didn't work on me this time, did it? Before coming here, I took a pill that protects my mind from your telepathic attacks."
"Oh, very cute," Raven said sarcastically. Her body morphed once again; this time she became Inferno. She raised a hand an fired a pillar of fire at Nightwing. He leaped high into the air, avoiding the fire. He grabbed something from his black utility belt, and threw it down into the fire. There came a giant steam cloud from the fire before the pillar of fire was instantly extinguished.
"Damn, you are annoying!" Raven growled. Raven morphed into Helena's body before attacking Nightwing with a series of punches and kicks. Nightwing, at first, was able to block all the attacks, but then her attacks increased in speed. She quickly overcame with a kick in the chest, which sent him flying across the room, crashing in the computer station.
Raven grinned as she returned to her own body. Before she could attack Nightwing, Helena came jumping over the computer station for another round. Helena did a spin kick, trying to kick Raven in the chest, but she bent over backwards to the point of her hands touching the floor that her kick missed all together, causing her to stumble trying to regain her posture. Raven shot back up with lightning quick speed, and did a spin kick herself, hitting Helena in the neck, resulting in her spiraling horizontally, rapidly before hitting the ground.
The sound of a window shattering from the second floor caused Raven to look up to the kitchen on the second on the floor. Leaping over the railing was Danielle. Raven saw her just in time to back flip away from her. "So, the four of you against me? I'm up to the challenge!"
Danielle went to kick Raven in the Knee caps, but Raven leaped over her kick, and while in mid air, kicked Danielle across the face, causing her to fall onto her back. Helena was back up on to her feet, and used the distraction to put the flat of her foot into Raven's back. Raven yelped as she turned around and went to kick Helena in the face. Helena blocked the kick with both of her hands. Helena went in for a punch, but Raven, surprisingly, caught Helena's fist in her left palm. This opened Helena up for a kick underneath her chin. Helena fell backwards, dazed and confused.
Dinah jumped in to continue where Danielle and Helena had started. When Raven saw what Dinah about to use her powers, she leapt as high as she could, avoiding the bluish tint of the invisible force that Dinah launched at her. Raven landed behind Dinah and high kicked Dinah, causing Dinah to fall violently to her left.
Raven had no time to breath, and she duck just in time to avoid Nightwing's foot from kicking her in the back of her head. Raven jumped and leaped over to the center of the platform, facing the giant clock. Nightwing joined her on the giant metal platform where the two of them went back and forth with punched and kicks. Nightwing went for a high kick and Raven back flipped, only using one hand on the ground to finish her flip. As she was about to land on her feet, She saw Nightwing take a step towards her. She bounced off the ground straight up to kick Nightwing in the neck, causing him to crash into the computer station to Raven's Right.
Raven looked to her left to see Danielle in mid air, leaping towards Raven. She instantly morphed into Dinah and used her copied power to rip one of the computer screens from the station and send it flying towards Danielle. Danielle could not get out of the way and it hit her in the gut, bringing her down to the ground abruptly. "This is pathetic, I can take all four of you on! And you call yourselves heroes."
"Enough!" A voice came from the from where the front door used to be. Raven turned around and there was Oracle, aka Barbara Gordon.
Raven laughed mockingly at the two of them. "This is more fun than I could have hoped for."
