A/N: The character Liz, Ben, Drake, Monix, Beth, and Missy belongs to me
~*~
Liz walks out of the back room and walks to the center of the HQ, where Barbara does most of her work. Drake follows Liz and stands right across from her, in a way; he is like her body guard.
"So, what is your plan?" said Barbara, wheeling into the center of the HQ.
"My plan, is to find Ben..and fight him..I sense only I can fight him"
"Yes, only you," said Drake
"And what about the cult and the 'ancients'?" said Helena
"I don't know, let's handle the Ben thing and then that." Also not only they have the cult, Ben, the 'ancients' they have to be worry about, Joker is in town and he has the nastiest tricks up his sleeves.
***
Ben lift up a knife of the table and begins to play with it, "So Mr. J, or you like to call Joker..what is your plans with the Birds?" He walks around the Joker, while playing with his knife.
"My plan, is to kill them, what else? I'm more interested in Helena, daughter of Batman...and Catwoman.."
"I wonder what kind of death, your going to give her"
"A slow kind"
"My favorite," he said coldly almost with affection and he grins evilly, "It would be nice, if you let me do the job..for you...you can handle...Dinah and Barbara..."
"What is the catch?"
"Helena is a link to Liz, they related, that is why I want to do the job for you"
"Excellent!" Joker laughed evilly, "Hmmmm..any tips to kill Barbara and Dinah?" He pauses, "Then again! I have the brightest plan..and the best plan for all New Gotham citizens"
Ben smiles evilly....and the Joker starts to laugh..
***
Back at the Clock Tower, the Delphi Alert system or whatever goes off, "It's Reese," said Barbara
"Ok" Helena turns to Drake, "Watch her..and Dinah & Barbara as well"
"Yes, that is my job, to protect anyone friends with the fire element," he nods to Helena
"I'm going to see what Reese is up to, Barbara I will let you know what happens" Helena leaves the clock tower
***
Huntress starts to run roof to roof and she spots Reese below, waiting against the telephone pole and she leaps off the roof and lands in front of Reese, "That was quick"
"I was up, what do you expect?"
"Helena..." He pauses; he hopes that Helena doesn't goes off in a rage.
"Reese, what is it? I have a killer at large; especially he is after my cousin"
Reese is kind of making this difficult, "Don't blow up..about this...he...he..escaped.." he took a large gulp, because he doesn't know what Helena might act.
"Clay Face escaped!" She ran past Reese, and he grabs her by the arm, "Reese! What are you doing? It's Clay Face!"
"Its not" Helena stops and she turns to Reese, "who is it then?"
"The Joker"
"How? I thought he was lock away for good? In like a maximum security place"
"We don't know, how he escaped," he pauses, "I think you and everyone back at the clock tower should go hiding, till me and the PD will find him and stop him" "I'm going to fight him, without the New Gotham PD to help, especially you, he's extremely dangerous"
"You can't fight him alone, he would probably sent one of his minions, and do the dirty work to you and your family...remember what he did...please don't fight him...because I'm afraid I will lose you.." He walks closer to Helena, she looks at Reese, "I love you..and I'm afraid..that...he..." Helena walks closer to Reese and starts to kiss him, slowly, with affection, she stops kissing him and he looks down at her, "Please hide, do it for me...and for your mother..."
She nods her head, "Yes" She backs up and she leaps into the air and lands on top of the roof and heads back to the clock tower.
Ben shimmers behind Helena, and he walks behind her slowly, "Ah, Miss Helena"
Huntress turns around sharply and she sees Ben, "What do you want?" She backs up and her eyes changes into feline eyes, she could already smell trouble on him.
"What is the rush? You seem, scared, afraid, I can smell it from you"
"Shut up!" she charges at him and he kicks her in the face, and she fell to the ground, she touched her nose and then her mouth and felt blood, she turned on her transceiver on, "Barbara, I need help" She hears no response, "Barbara!"
"Opps, looks like I broke your gadget," he chuckles evilly, he kicks her in the stomach, and she rolls over, to the edge of the building, she looks down below and up above the street, and she sees Reese going into his police vehicle, "Reese!!!" she screamed.
"Too bad, your boyfriend can't help you" He grabs her by the throat and throws her onto the roof. He walks over to her and injects something in her arm, but she didn't felt it
"Why aren't you after Liz?" Huntress stands up, "Why me?"
"I sent someone to go to the clock tower...and..he is right about.." He checks the watch, "About now"
Huntress nods and she jumps in the air and kicks Ben, in the face, knocking him out, he falls to the ground and she begins to jump roof to roof and she did a large leap up to the clock tower and went inside, Joker, isn't inside the clock tower, everyone is still in the main HQ, what did Ben plan?
Barbara looks above and she sees Huntress, "Helena"
Huntress is getting a bit dizzy and she collapses to the ground, Drake runs up to Helena and picks up her and places her down to the couch, "Oh, god what happened?"
Helena opens her eyes and she sees the Joker..which is really Drake, what drug..Ben injected her, makes an image of Joker from any male, except it has no effect on Ben or his cult. She grabs him by the throat, "Die fiend!"
"Huntress don't!" yelled Liz, she is trying to release Drake from the hands of Helena, "It's Drake!"
"It isn't him! It's the Joker! Ben must have done something to blind you!"
"Helena!" Drake yelled, "It's me Drake, if I was the Joker, I would have made this laugh!"
"Lies!" Helena glares at Drake and inside her head, she sees Joker smiling and he chokes a bit harder. "He shot you Barbara! He sent one of his minions to kill my mother!"
Drake made his hands to be eletricotal, as like a taser, he touched Helena's hand for 2 seconds and finally got released by her hands. "Liz, restrain her" Drake begins to rub his neck, after been in some kind of strain or whatever from her hands. Liz grabs Helena and she begins to hold her down, "Dinah, go to the first aide kit and get this drug/medicine, the one the makes you all sleepy"
Dinah nods and hurries to the back room and opens the first aide kit, she grabs it and looks up and she sees a male figure in the shadows, its not Ben...its someone else...he walks out and he made a big smile, "The Black Canary's daughter..welcome...I'm..." he begins to talk quietly, "the Joker!"
Dinah lifts her hands and tries to use her telekinesis on him, but no effect, "What the?"
"If your wondering, what I did to your powers, I equipped this room, with anti-metahuman powers..nifty huh?" Dinah backs up quickly and tries to open the door, "Ah, you can't escape, you can get inside this room and never get out alive" Dinah pulls harder on the knob, nothing, the Joker walks closer toward Dinah, "When in a few hours..Barbara..the woman..I shot...will find your body on the ground...blood everywhere...and you will be chop suey!" He laughs evilly and very loud, but sound cannot escape this small room.
"Barbara! Liz! Drake!" she cried, she sees something coming out of the shadows, some kind of creature..and it rises off the ground and begin to open its mouth, filled with razor sharp teeth, she stood, there frozen, looking at the creature, scared...
"Oh almost forgot, this is a ancient demon called the Piranha, Ben found in this place, around the dinosaurs were around.." He pauses and smiles "have fun...I will be leaving now" He walks into the shadow and press this device and made him shimmers out of the room.
Dinah looks at the creature, as this demon walks slowly up to her, tears is coming out of her eyes.
***
Liz tries to hold down Helena, but she somewhat over powering her, "Dinah!" Dinah doesn't answer, "Drake, get Dinah! Barbara help me!" Barbara wheels over and help hold down Helena.
Drake runs up to the back door and tries to open it, "Dinah!" He starts to kick it, it doesn't open. He backs up and he slams his whole body onto the door, the door doesn't budge, "Dinah!"
***
Dinah quickly throw the medicine at the demon and before it stabs it, it turns its long neck and catches the needle in its teeth, the demon turns the needle at Dinah with its tongue, and ready to fire it at her, her face drops wide open, like oh my god, the demon fires it and hits Dinah in the neck and she takes it out, she starts to run to the different direction of the room, she is feeling tired and weak, she looks back and sees the window, she tries to hit it, like the glass became, non breakable, "Help!" she cried, she turns her head back at the demon and the demon stands up on its hinge legs and smashes it to the ground, creating some kind of a shockwave and knocks Dinah to the ground, she hits her head on something hard and completely gets knock out.
***
Helena decides to pretend she is asleep, thinking that Barbara and Liz would think she is asleep, "Finally" said Barbara. Liz and Barbara releases Helena, they walk over to the computers.
Helena opens her eyes and jumps off the couch and runs and begins to find Drake, Drake sees her, charging at her and she head butts him and he falls to the ground, she sits on top of him, beating him in the face.
Liz turn her head at Barbara and she runs over to Helena and grabs her and threw her to the wall, "Helena! Knock it off!" She pauses, "That's Drake! Whatever Ben did to you, is making you think Drake is The Joker..."
"Lies! What are you on his side?"
"No! As if!"
"Then why helping him" she stands up and charges at Drake again and Liz clothlines her and she falls flat on her back. Liz put her foot on her chest, "What? Your evil?"
"Helena! It's Drake, if it was the Joker, we would be toast by now"
Drake gets off the ground, "It's me.." He can sense that Ben, injected something into her, "He drugged you...I have the antidote" Liz turns her head at him, "Don't ask.." He walks slowly toward Helena and kneels down beside her and injects something in her arm, the image of the Joker begins to fade away and she can see Drake's face.
"Drake?" He nods and he signals Liz to release her, Liz moved her foot away from Helena and Helena got off the ground, "That Ben guy..is smart."
"Defiantly," said Drake and Liz at the same time
***
The demon is 2ft away from Dinah and walks a bit closer and closer..
