Helena put her arms around Reese's neck and she allowed herself to enjoy
the moment, she closed her eyes wanting the moment to be eternal. First
came a tender soft kiss, later came the deep passionate ones. After a few
minutes they separated and looked at each other sweetly. Reese noticed that
Huntress eyes were cat like. They shone.
"Are you happy? You purr like a cat." He smiled caressing her cheek. He liked it when her eyes transformed that way
"Very, and yes I am almost a cat." Helena looked at him with a rougish smile and she put her head on his chest and hugged him tight. "Dont you like?"
"I love it" Reese corresponded to the hug and he kissed her hair. He felt an enormous pleasure covering Helena in his arms, he felt her fragile and needy of affection, she wasn't in that moment neither a shadow of the aggressive and violent young woman that patrolled on the roofs the city.
"How was your day?" Reese asked.
"Dont even go there..." Helena responded.
"Problem?" Reese asked.
"No... its just Barbara tends to be overprotective sometimes..." Huntress closed her eyes, she enjoyed feeling the heat of Reese next to her.
"Something wrong with being overprotective?" Reese said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Reese..." Huntress had several problems during the day land she didn't want talk about that, she wanted forget that
"Yes?...."
"Shut up, you are ruining the moment..."
Reese smiled and hugged her tighter. However, inside he was feeling guilty for not being able to tell helena about a warning, not until he took care of it first.

The following night Huntress and Dinah watched the streets from the heights of a roof. To avoid Barbara's exam, Huntress had invented that she had been late in the Bar and she was going to wait for Dinah in that building. Barbara knew that was an excuse but she also knew that she had to avoid being annoyed with her. Huntress on occasions behaved like a capricious girl and sooner or later she would have to go to the Clock Tower.
"It is cold" Dinah said rubbing her arms with her hands.
"And when it begins to snow it's worse, December is the worst time for any meta-vigilant on night sweeps..." Huntress said while she looked at the traffic in the streets recharged in a thatched top. "How is your training going?"
"With the Canary cry? I still battle with it a little, I don't know how to reach that note that's so high..."
"My ears are happy to hear that news."
Dinah felt a little guilty remembering what happened weeks ago and she lowered her head "I'm sorry Huntress, I didn't mean to injure..."
"Don't worry Dinah, I know that it wasn't your intention." Huntress sketched a slight smile "What advances have you made?"
"Bárbara says that I have great potential... I am beginning to read people's mind without the necessity of touch."
"And is that good?" Huntress puckered a frown looking at her "rather I find it dangerous."
"For you?" Dinah laughed.
"For anyone... it is uncomfortable to walk with somebody that knows all that you think."
".And to the one that you cannot deceive..." Dinah completed "don't worry, I still have to concentrate a lot to achieve it."
"I don't deceive anybody..." Huntress protested.
"No, in general only hide what you feel and you think."
"It's not that, only... I don't like to talk about myself." Huntress hesitated a little.
"You hate that the people know that you have a great heart and that you are very sensitive. For that reason you hide yourself under that hard image" Dinah crossed her arms and looked her.
"I am not sensitive..."
"Come on Huntress, yes you are! And you are also also very romantic!"
"Are you poking in my mind?"
"No, I know it because I know you... and you cannot hide anything when you are next to Reese."
:: With that I agree:: Oracle's voice was heard.
"Great!" Huntress exclaimed "How can I work with somebody that knows all that I think and with another that doesn't lose detail of all that I tell? Can a super hero have a litlte privacy?"
::Yes. while you take a bath, hey, problems on 6th avenue:: Oracle laughed :: it's an Art Gallery.::
"On our way" Huntress was relieved to end that conversation with Dinah, she didn't like to speak about her "sensitive" side.
Both girls headed to the area indicated by Oracle. Confirming they were near, Huntress began to feel the headache. They leaned off a neighboring roof, and saw several men leaving an art gallery located on the second floor. Helena thought she saw a light that disappeared in some cables like the previous night, but she didn't have time to think about it, Dinah had rushed the thieves and she followed her immediately.
There were six men. Dinah quickly knocked out one of them, hanging him over a window. She put up her guard to meet the following one. At the same time, Huntress took charge of the other four. She sent two of them to the floor, her headache began to be really bothersome, she tried to ignore it but she lost concentration. A blow smashed into her jaw, she tried to react but she felt another strong blow in her ribs and a kick in her chest that made her fall back.
On the floor she reached to stop a foot that went direct to her face, and got up inmediatly. She hit the two men more with her fists, and kicking back, she knocked a man behind her. Suddenly, a stabbing pain in her head made her groan and she lifted her hands to her head. The distraction was enough, a closed fist hit her in the nape stunning her. One of the men held her from behind and another began to hit her furiously with feet and hands all over her body.
A stranger had approached and observed in the distance what happened in the gallery. Dinah hurtled one of the thieves onto some bags of garbage. She listened to Huntress groaning and she looked back, they had her immobilized. Huntress tried to kick the man in front of her and Dinah fell on the man that held her, kicking him on his face. He lost his grip on Huntress who collapsed in the floor.
Dinah saw the man that had been hitting Helena leave, but she preferred not to follow him to aid her.
"Are you ok?" she asked leaning next to her.
"Yes... I'm fine... " she supported herself on one hand on the floor and placed her other hand on her stomach.
"It is necessary that Oracle check you... go to the Clock Tower."
"No, i'm fine... just give me a minute." Huntress didn't want to worry Dinah nor to listen Barbara's sermon.
:: What happened? :: Barbara asked in the mic.
"Nothing, call Reese" Huntress spoke before Dinah could say something "we stopped these boys... we're leaving."
Dinah looked at Huntress worriedly while she got up with difficulty. "Is it the headache - tell me the truth?" she asked her angry.
"I'm fine..." her head continued hurting her and she tried to hide it. It was bothersome. She didn't understand the reason for her headache but if she didn't control it soon, she could have more accidents like that.
"It's the headaches!" furious Dinah insisted.
:: What's up? :: Oracle asked for the mic.
"Nothing... Dinah! I told you that I'm fine." Huntress exclaimed turning off her mic. "Was a stupid mistake! Can't you understand that?"
Dinah also turned off her microphone and asked: " Why don't tell me what is happening to you?"
"Because nothing is happening to me! And don't start with your mind reading trick!."
"Huntress!" Dinah tried to help her get up but Huntress pushed her, rejecting help and she exclaimed: "I have more experience in this than you, I didn't need a babysitter then, and I sure as hell dont need one now, understand?"
Dinah angrily pressed her lips together knowing that she was lying. Helena walked a few steps without being able to avoid leaning a little becouse of a low pain in her ribs.
"Will you tell me that you can continue patrolling in your conditrions?" Dinah told her derisively
"Don't bother me..." Huntress continued walking without turning back.
"Huntress if you dont want my help, fine but I dont know why after all this time you dont want to trust me. I'm not going to let you finish sweeps tonight, you're hurt!" Dinah threw her hands up in frustration.
Huntress supported her hand on a wall, thugs had given her a good beating, her entire body hurt. As much as she hated to admit it, Dinah was right. She could not continue tonight. Helena sighed deeply.
"Ok... I'm going home." she finally said and she began to walk again toward the alley.
"Oracle should examine you." Dinah insisted walking behind of her.
"I will be ok in a while." Huntress grunted.
"Why do you have to be so damn stubborn.?" Dinah argued
"I told you I dont need a babysitter!" Huntress turned to glare at Dinah. All she wanted was to be alone. In times like these Huntress had wondered if having a partner was a good idea.
"Well, are you alright? I will do what you say, I'll leave you alone if you can jump up to that roof and leave" Dinah pointed out the roof of the neighboring building, not more than three floors.
Huntress lifted her head, and she looked up, Dinah was not stupid, she knew that at that moment she couldn't jump a single floor.
Huntress bit her lip and said "Don't even go there."
Dinah walked slowly behind her saving the smart comment for a future battle.
"Are you happy? You purr like a cat." He smiled caressing her cheek. He liked it when her eyes transformed that way
"Very, and yes I am almost a cat." Helena looked at him with a rougish smile and she put her head on his chest and hugged him tight. "Dont you like?"
