CHAPTER 5
Dinah was prancing on the metal platform; the memories of her confrontation with Helena fresh on her mind. "How can we get through to her through her delusions?"
"There's no telling how potent that gas is. If it's anything like the original formula, it should wear off in a few hours." Barbara said. "Luckily, I keep a homing device on both of you just in case something like this ever happened."
Barbara typed on a command on the keyboard, on the monitor appeared a radar screen and a yellow bleep appeared on the radar screen. "It appears Helena has not caused any more trouble so far. We are going to have to keep an eye out on her. She may attack an innocent civilian, thinking it's someone she hates."
"What happens if this gas does not wear off so quickly?" Dinah asked.
"I will have to try to come up with an antidote to counteract the effects of the gas. Head down to the Dark Horse and warn Danielle and Gibson to keep away from Helena at cost."

The bar was busy tonight, as it usually was every Friday night. It was Fridays and Saturdays that Danielle and Gibson would work together. Danielle, holding the tray with five bear bottles, walked up to a table and gave each customer their beer. Danielle headed back to the bar where Gibson was working behind the counter. "I hate to say it, but we're running low on olives."
"The mini-mart across the street is open late. I'll run on over and get an emergency supply until our order arrives."
Reese opened up the register and pulled out a ten dollar bill. He closed the register, and reached over the counter to hand it to Danielle while taking the tray with his other hand from her.
Danielle took the ten dollar bill and put it in her pocket as she made her way out the front door. A car drove past before it being clear to cross the street. Before she could take a step, she looked to her right to see Helena standing there. "Huntress? What are you doing here? You shouldn't be out here in the public.

Helena was walking down the street when coming out of one of the stores was the last person she was expecting to see. "Dr. Quinzel?"
~ ~ ~ ~
"What? Helena, it's me Danielle?" Danielle looked at her puzzled at why she had called her Dr. Quinzel.
~ ~ ~ ~
"Hello, Helena. Long time no see," Harley said with a grin. "Truthfully, I am still surprised that you are still working with Barbara, especially when it was your fault that the man she loved is dead."
"You bitch!" Helena screamed in rage as she charged after Harley.
~ ~ ~ ~
Danielle was startled by Helena's abusive language towards her, and was taken back even more when Helena attacked her. Helena went to try to imprint the flat of her right foot into Danielle's face but Danielle stepped to the right to avoid contact.
Helena landed on her left leg, and now Danielle was directly to her left. She touched the ground with her right foot for a split second to gather up some strength as she spun around to her left, kicking Danielle in the ribs.
After taking that his to her ribs, she realized that she had no choice but to fight Helena and ask questions later. She had to fight or Helena could seriously hurt her or worse. Danielle posed ready to defend the next attack.
~ ~ ~ ~
Dr. Quinzel, grinned at her kick to her ribs and posed ready to fight. Helena screamed as she went in with two powerful punches, one with each fist
~ ~ ~ ~
Helena came at Danielle with two powerful punches, one with each fist, but Daniel blocked the punch by waving her left arm for the first punch and her left for the second. Each time, her wrists knocked away Helena's fist by hitting her wrists. Danielle twisted slightly on her left angle and kicked Helena in the chest.
~ ~ ~ ~
Dr. Quinzel showed her amazing reflexes as she twisted on her left angle and surprised Helena with a kick to her chest. Helena stumbled backwards a few feet. Helena was angrier than ever, and she made no attempt to hide her rage. Helena swung her right leg violent. Dr. Quinzel leaned backwards steeply, her back nearly horizontally to the ground. She was back standing straight quickly, not giving Helena enough time to capitalize on her defenseless state.
~ ~ ~ ~
Danielle was quickly standing back up straight, not giving Helena any time to attack her in her awkward position. Helena leaped at Danielle with all she had. Suddenly, Danielle felt herself being lifted up into the air by an unseen force and brought up onto the roof of the bar.
~ ~ ~ ~
Helena leaped for Dr. Quinzel with everything she had, but with a devilish grin on her face, she turned and leaped up onto the roof and disappeared. "I'm not through with you yet!" Helena scowled as she took two steps back and then took a running leap. She flew up into the air as if she had flying powers and landed on the roof where Dr. Quinzel had landed, but when she looked around, she could see nothing. "Damn you!" Helena screamed at the top of her lungs.
~ ~ ~ ~
Dinah and Danielle were hiding on the rooftop two buildings down, behind a chimney stack. Danielle was breathing heavily as Dinah carefully peered around the corner to see Helena run in the opposite direction. "Are you alright?"
"Yea, but in hell is into Helena? Her heart is beating a mile a minute. She is full of rage."
"Helena was sprayed with a gas that causes her to see delusions that bring out her rage. We're working on a way to cure her. It seems all those she is close to is seen to her as something or someone she hates." Dinah replied.
"You better find a cure quickly?" Danielle replied.
"Why? What do you detect?" Barbara's voice came over their ear pieces.
"Her heart his beating at a very dangerous pace and it continues to beat faster. If she builds up too much rage, her heart will not be able to handle it and it will explode under the stress that it's building up."
"Just perfect," Barbara replied sarcastically.
