CHAPTER 9
"Dinah, we don't have to do this. You don't have to take orders from her. We're your friends. Let us help you," Barbara pleaded.
"Oh, and is that why you were trying to keep me from understanding my powers? If you were really my friends, you would have helped me better myself."
"How so, Dinah?" Barbara controlled her wheelchair next to Helena. "By making you a threat to all humanity? I wanted to make sure that you were going to be able to handle this great responsibility that is being placed on your shoulders."
"Yea, well no thanks to you, I am learning that responsibility from Madam Kaliea here!"
"Whatever she's telling you, Dinah, it's a lie," Helena took a step closer towards Dinah.
"Make another step and I'll take it as an act of aggression," Dinah snapped.
"We're your friends, Dinah. You are my partner," Helena said.
"Some partner," Dinah said. Her face was full of anger and malice. "You've always thought you were better then I. That's why at the bank you were ready to fight when I told you that I am now more powerful than you."
Helena had to bite her lower lip to control her anger. "That's not true, Dinah. You are my partner. I need you as my partner."
Dinah laughed. "Since I first arrived, I've been a major annoyance to you. Admit it!"
Helena did not reply. It was true, when she first arrived, there was something like a sibling rivalry between the two of them. Since then, they have grown closer than sisters.
Dinah got fed up with the lack of response. "The hell with talking, this is the time to fight!" Her hair began to fly wildly and she began to levitate. She waved her hand and Helena went flying across the room and hit the wall just left of the glass clock. Barbara remained where she was, knowing the futility of any attempt to escape. "Dinah, you don't want to do this!"
"Don't I?" With a simple glare she elevated Barbara in her wheelchair. Behind Dinah, Madam Kaliea laughed, enjoying the display of Dinah's powers. Dinah released her powers, dropping Barbara violently to the ground. Her wheelchair tipped over, throwing her to the ground.
Helena came flying over the metal platform, with her right foot stretched out to plant into Dinah's chest. Dinah looked up, and used her powers to rip the neural patches off the side of her face. A sharp pain began stab Helena in the brain. She came crashing down, holding her head.
"Dinah, please stop this! You are about to kill her! You are not a murderer! I've taught you that much!" Barbara pleaded.
"You have no idea of who I really am. Perhaps this is my destiny!" Dinah said, not lightening up on Helena.
"You are about to kill the one who thinks of you as a sister! How long have you known us? How long have you known your friend here?"
Dinah did not reply, but the look on Dinah's face showed that she was contemplating on what Barbara was saying. Helena's screams continued as Barbara continued to plead with Dinah. Helena would not be able to handle much more.
"Dinah, I am sincerely sorry that I kept the fact that I knew that you had powers hidden inside of you. That was a mistake on my part. I should have handled it all differently. I see that now. Don't you see, Dinah! I am admitting my mistake, because I want your forgiveness!"
"Don't listen to her!" Madam Kaliea protested.
"A friend makes mistakes, Dinah, and I made a mistake. Is my mistake really worth killing Helena over? If you want revenge, then kill me; Spare Helena."
"You heard her, kill her!" Madam Kaliea urged.
"Let me remind you of one thing, Dinah! Who's urging you to kill. You know deep in your heart that killing is wrong. Who's the one asking you to do what you know is wrong. Is that person really your friend or is she in this for her own selfish gain?"
Dinah's eyes seemed to lighten up. She elevated down to her feet and ceased her attack on Helena. The power that was emanating from her had calmed down to non existent. "What are you doing? Kill them! It will make you feel better!"
Dinah looked at her angrily. "You put me under some kind of spell!" You were using me!"
Madam Kaliea was outraged, and tried to attack Dinah's brain with her telepathic powers, but Dinah's power proven to be superior than hers. Dinah spun kicked her in the side of the neck, knocking her out cold onto the floor.
Dinah turned around to face Helena and Barbara. "I can't believe I was about to kill you," Dinah said. She used her powers to bring the wheelchair back onto it's wheels and then used her powers to lift Barbara off the ground and gently placed her in the chair. Helena was back on her feet. "I'm so ashamed. How can I ever ask your forgiveness?"
"It's alright, Dinah. You were kind of brainwashed there for a little while," Helena replied.
"That doesn't matter. I should have never put myself into that position in the first place. I would understand if you two never wanted to speak to me again."
"Hey, you made a mistake, no big deal. Everything turned out well. Besides, we love you, Dinah. You are part of the family and family forgives and forgets."
Dinah looked up at Helena and smiled faintly before the two girls hugged.
"Dinah, we don't have to do this. You don't have to take orders from her. We're your friends. Let us help you," Barbara pleaded.
"Oh, and is that why you were trying to keep me from understanding my powers? If you were really my friends, you would have helped me better myself."
