The Predator: Chapter 12

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

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

Drake wakes up in the middle of the night and he sits up on the couch and he sees Huntress talking to Barbara, he stands up and begins to watch them, carefully, and watching every movement they are making.

"Helena, how did that man died?"

"I don't know, it was weird, looks like something scared the daylights outta him and then died...I think someone or something doesn't want Liz, the 'Acolytes', or the 'ancients' to be exposed"

"Exposed from what?"

"The truth...maybe it has to do with the guardians/elements or this planet..I don't know whatever it is, they are protecting it from revealing the truth."

***

Ben in his lair/temple, is watching the 'birds' talking about his cult and Liz, from a round fountain in front of him, he made the fountain to look around the room and he spots Drake, "Hey...I recognize him..who is he...?" Ben stares at Drake and he looks awfully familiar.

***

Drake sneaks past Huntress and Barbara and enters the back room, he closes the door and locks the door, he notices Dinah somewhat waking up, "What time is it Drake?"

"Midnight...you should get some sleep"

"Ok..where's Barbara, I thought"

"Her shift is over; she talking to Helena, about Liz..so it's my turn"

"Ok" Dinah got off the chair, "I should go to my real bed, because this is the worst place to sleep, especially I have school tomorrow"

"Good plan"

Dinah nods and exits the door, and notices it is lock, "Why did you lock the door?"

"Ummm, I thought maybe...that..uh..that Ben guy might come back, I have this panic attack thingy..that makes me nervous, especially with people that are trying to kill someone that I know"

"Oh, is this normal? Or did you always have this thingy?" Dinah starts to sense this guy is odd and she is also questioning him.

"I always had it since I was young...it has to do with my family," Drake starts to sweat and get nervous

"Why are you sweating? Are you holding something back from us?"

"No-no-no-no..its not like that"

Dinah uses her TK on Drake and threw him to the wall, pinning him there, "Helena!" yelled Dinah, Dinah uses her other hand to unlock the door.

Huntress burst threw the door, she thought maybe Ben is there, all she can see is Drake, the other side of the wall, pinned, by Dinah's TK, "Dinah, what is it? And why are you pinning Drake with your TK?"

"He might be evil"

"Evil! No!" yelled Drake, "I'm not evil!"

"What is he doing, to make him evil?"

"He locked the door and demanded me to get out of the room; I think he might be one of Ben's followers"

"As if! I would never be his followers!"

Huntress starts to get the sense, that this Drake guy maybe a link to the guardians/elements, the cult, and the 'ancients'. "Who are you working for?" Huntress walks closer toward him, "Who are you working for?"

"I can't tell you..it's a secret!"

"Ah ha! You knows something!" said Huntress, "What is it your hiding?"

"I was...sent...to..to..protect..Liz.."

"Why? And why did you show up late? After her three sisters were murdered, how sick are you?"

"I was trying to find her, maybe finding one of her siblings, would be easier to track her down...because the fire element in one tough cookie to find"

"How do you know..she is the fire element?"

Liz wakes up and looks at Drake, then at Huntress, "Helena...he is the lighting element...a lost sacred..element/guardian/ancient...my long lost protector..."
