Disclaimer: Birds of Prey belong to the DC comics and the WB. I own nothing from them, I just write fanfics for a living and for my entertainment

A/N: The character Liz, Ben, Drake, Monix, Beth, and Missy belongs to me

~*~

Helena carefully picks Liz up, and begin to walk into the alley and enter the secret route to get inside the clock tower. Drake also follows, "Press the elevator button"

Drake nods and presses the button, the elevator door opens and the two walks into the elevator, "So, is that the person who is killing the metas?"

"Yes," said Liz quietly, she is still scared, that the Ben guy nearly wasted her.

***

Inside an old temple, very far away, Ben is talking to the other 'Acolytes' "I almost had her but the birds rescued her, especially Helena.."

"Why don't you kill her as well, your stronger and lethal, no one can't stop you," said a man in a dark cloak

"Good plan! But my main focus is Liz..first I deal with Liz, then I will deal with the birds" Ben walks toward his throne and sits down, he takes out a picture of Beth out and looks at it.

"Sir, you want Liz dead, because you blame her for your girlfriend's death?"

"Yeah, what do you think?" Ben starts to look at the picture, "You can leave now" The man in the dark cloak leaves the room...

*** Helena carefully puts Liz onto the couch, Barbara wheels over, in her lap, she has the first aide kit and other medical kits that she has. Barbara opens the kit open. "Helena how many wounds does she has?"

"A lot...and the one on her arm, needs stitches.." She pauses, "Barbara you can do the stitches, because I don't like doing this part, this is gross.."

"Want me to do it? Because I'm studying medicine and other stuff, I'm planning to become a metahuman doctor, just for metahumans or people with powers."

"Ok" Barbara hands him the kits, "Me and Helena will be searching for this Ben guy, while you are patching up Liz"

"Do you have like a room? Because she has lots of wounds and the couch is not the best thing"

"Its in the back," said Dinah, "Want me to help?"

"Sure, can you take the kits, while I'm carefully picking up her and taking her the back room."

"Ok"

Dinah walks over to Drake and picks up 3 kits and began to walk to the back of the room. Drake carefully picks Liz up, trying not to hurt her, because she has many stab wounds, mostly from the glass windows, windshield, ect.

Drake enters the back room and puts Liz down on a bed, "I also need some peroxides and a bowl of water..to clean her wounds"

Dinah puts down the kits on a small table, beside Drake, "Ok" Dinah leaves the room and she walks over to the kitchen and fills up a giant bowl of warm/cold water. "Helena, can you get the peroxides, because my hands are full"

"Sure thing" Helena walks away from Barbara and went to the cabinet and got the peroxide, "How's Liz by the way?" Dinah went to the cabinet and got a cloth and put it into the bowl

"We don't know, we know she going to live, because her wounds aren't serious, that Ben guy, nearly killed her, if you didn't leave No Man's Land in time, she would be dead"

"I know" Helena and Dinah heads back to the back room, and places the bowl of water onto the table. Helena places the peroxide on the table, "Drake how is she?"

"She good, but somewhat I don't know"

"Helena!" said Barbara in the main HQ of the clock tower is calling Helena.

Helena runs out the room, to see what Barbara is up to, "Yeah?"

"Who is that guy by the way?"

"Drake, Monix new friend, before she died, don't worry, he is on our side..and why was that important?"

"There is something important...go to Arkham, with Reese, because this insane guy..appears to know about Ben and the 'Acolytes'"

"Ok" Helena walks away and enters her room and she changed her outfit and became Huntress, she walks out. "Tell me, if Liz condition, is good" Barbara nods and Huntress leaves the clock tower.

*** He puts on his white medical gloves on his hands, he began to carefully cleaning her arm with water, he is gently putting the wet cloth on her arm, cleaning the stab wound. He takes out a needle out and began to poke some holes around the edges, so he can put stitches into her arm. He puts the needle down and he takes some stitches out of the kit and starts to stitch her arm. Dinah takes out a white patch and he gently takes it out of Dinah's hand and starts to wrap the white patch around Liz's arm, so no germs or whatever won't infect her wound.

"Liz sit up" he said calmly.

"I can't.."

"I know it hurts, but sit up" He helps Liz to sit up and he hand signals to Dinah to come here, so Dinah makes sure Liz doesn't move, "This may hurt.." He carefully takes out the glass fragments out of her back, the stab wounds on her back, isn't life threating.

***

Huntress and Reese walks into a small cell, Huntress looks at the man, the man is sitting down, writing ancient symbols around his cell. Huntress looks through the glass, "Tell me what your name is"

The man stops writing and looks at Huntress and then at Reese, "Miss Huntress and detective Reese..why do you want me to help you?"

"I heard you know about Ben and the 'Acolytes'"

He stares at Huntress, frozen, how does she know about the 'Acolytes' "What do you know about Ben and the crazed cult?"

"He tried to waste Liz, do you know her?"

"Liz..." he pauses, the name is refreshing in his head, "I haven't heard the name Liz in a while.."

"So you do know Liz?" said Reese

"I knew her before she became a meta," Huntress stood there frozen, so did Reese, "I was once her protector...before I came an 'ancient'.."

"Why aren't you her protector anymore, could this be why? Her siblings let's say guardians/elements are dead?"

"Its not because of that, the 'ancients' threw me into the cold and I found myself here..."

"Why did they threw you into the cold?"

"I was getting too close.."

"To what?"

"I can't tell you..if I did..something bad will happen"

"Like what! Liz's life is on the line!" said Huntress

"So is Ben also"

"What do you mean about Ben! He killed three of them-" before Huntress can finish her sentence.the man interrupts her.

"Ben didn't kill Beth..he would never kill her..even though he is breaking the rules from the higher counsel of the 'Acolytes'"

"What does that mean? Ben could be on our side?"

The man looks at them froze, not saying anything, Huntress notices his eyes is open, not moving, "Is he dead?"

Reese thought so too.Reese orders the guard to open the cage door and the cage door open and Reese walks into the cage and checks for a pulse, nothing, "He's dead, something powerful killed him, probably they don't want him to tell us about facts about Ben or maybe Liz"

***

Few hours later, Liz is resting on the bed, sleeping, Drake watches her rest and Alfred walks into the room and hands him a coffee, "Here, you go sir." Drake carefully grabs the coffee and begins to drink it, "Barbara wants you to become a crime fighter with us..because you proved enough, not only you cared for Liz and her siblings, you're a true fighter, that doesn't give up.."

"Yeah..." Drake drinks his coffee and he stands up, "Dinah" he calls her name, he notices she is sleeping on the small chair, "She sleeping, this has been a rough night.."

"Yes.I think you need your rest too, Drake.."

"What about Liz?"

"Don't worry" Barbara wheels into the room, "I will watch her, while I'm still waiting for Helena."

Drake leaves the room, so did Alfred as well..

***

"Helena, we need to find this Ben guy..to find more information about his cult, the ancients and more about Liz," said Reese

"Yeah, how do we find him? He could be anywhere.."

"I don't know, let's go back to the clock tower and maybe we can figure this thing out"
