Lire Wire put her feet on the floor and immediately she threw another
discharge at Dinah, the girl screamed. Huntress raised her head and she saw
Live Wire electrocuting Dinah, she forgot the pain and ran toward Live
Wire. She jumped and kicked the strange woman in her back, turning Live
Wire's attention away from Dinah.
"That was a huge mistake" growled Huntress, trying to contain her headache. Live Wire recovered quickly, stretching her hand and threw her an electricity shot. Huntress jumped and she landed next to Live Wire kicking her in the head.
"You are a good fighter -- who are you?" Live Wire was really worried.
"You can call me The Huntress"
"You are Huntress" Live Wire grunted, "My boys told me that you and your friend are annoying them! And that you are very dangerous, and yes, you are very good... really very good. I was thinking that you were a ghost in the imagination of my boys"
"No, I'm real." Huntress said avoiding a light shot and punching her again in the face "I saw you in those assaults... you escaped in the cables with the booty..."
"Of course" Live Wire began to be grow impatient, she tried to hit Huntress with her energy but the youth was very skilled, she was avoiding her and hitting her strongly. She looked suddenly at Dinah, she was unconsciuos lying in the floor, she gave an agile jump and fell next to Dinah, she grabbed her by the neck and she put her another hand over her heart.
"Do you know what will happen to her if I throw her a discharge?" Live Wire shouted to Huntress "If you come one step closer, I'll kill her!"
"No!" Huntress felt a chill in her back.
::What happened?.. Barbara asked in the mic.
"She's got Dinah." Huntres mumbled and raised her hands "Don't hurt her.I'm here."
The police car sirens could be heard, the alarm from the broken window alerted them. "Damn!" Live Wire grunted, "I believe that you and I will see each other later." Live Wire extended her hand toward Huntress and threw her an electric shock, she let go of Dinah. Huntress flew in the air and crashed against a wall, she fell heavily to the ground.
"Keep away from my boys or I'll hunt you down and kill you." Live Wire said throwing her another electric shock, Huntress moaned, she felt as if her body was breaking in pieces. Live Wire transformed her self into an energy ball and disappeared througth the light cables.
"Ouu." Huntress took her hand to her chest, that had hurt. She realized that her headache had disappeared when Live Wire was gone.
::Huntress is everything ok?:: she heard Oracle's voice in her ear.
"God." Huntres groaned while she got up "That woman is really dangerous."
The police sirens came closer, Dianh was still on the ground, she ran toward her and took her pulse.
"Live Wire hit Dinah." Huntress said "She is unconscious, I'll take her to the Clock Tower right now." Huntress loaded her over her shoulder and dissapeared in the darkness.

Huntress was sitting on one of the tables in the lab waiting for Barbara, she was with Dinah in her room, she felt guilty, she hadn't been able to support Dinah in time. Her headaches were a risk not only for her, Barbara was right. Barbara appeared and she ascended on the ramp.
"She is going to be ok," she said "she's sleeping now, it was just the high electric shock."
"... It was my fault Barbara" Huntress shook her head "I should have been there to help her and I failed..."
"Don't blame yourself, you can't avoid your headaches. You were lucky his time, but remember that in this work we can't leave anything to luck."
Huntress looked toward Dinah's room and she sighed deeply. "I need to do something to avoid these headaches... They almost killed her..."
"While we figure it out I will give you a stronger analgesic." Barbara said "I didn't want to do it before because it can affect your alertness, practically will block it, and you will have to walk with much more care. I can't allow that you face Live Wire again with your head about to explode, it would be fatal as much for you as for Dinah."
"Why did she ask for me?"
"I imagine because your name is very well-known in the dark world, Dinah is not as known as you yet. Live Wire would have been investigating who was stopping them."
"How we will stop an electric maniac? I reached to hit her several times but when she zapped me, it was terrible."
"I did it one time," Barbara remembered "I can do it again, I will create an insulating outfit of silica can cover her body and stop the electricity from coming out of her body."
Huntress and Dinah avoided more holdups without being able to capture Live Wire, she always vanished exactly before they could arrive. Both began to move unfruitfully in the darkness circles of the crime looking for information about the stranger woman during several days. But they couldn't get any information.

Live Wire AKA Amanda McKee, drank a beer at a bar, she felt bothersome and frustrated by not being able to avoid Huntress and her friend to continue frustrating her plans. With her index finger she played moving a pencil on the table hardly using a slight electric discharge distractedly perceptible while she meditated on what to do.
"May I sit down my dear lady?" Amanda rose her eyes and lauged when saw a man with long blond hair and dark eyeglasses in front of her.
"Al Hawke? What do you do here? This is ridiculous!"
"How did you recognize me?" Al Hawke sat down in a chair placing his drink in the table.
"Your voice is unmistakable."
"The jail is not a place that likes me a lot and now I have the whole department of Gothic city after me. But please, don't speak about me, let us speak about you. I have heard news of stranger assaults with certain 'electric' characteristic, I imagined that were you."
"Yes... How did you found me?"
"It's easy, we have so much in common."
"You have problems no?"
"Yes..." Amanda gave a deep sigh and she gave a sip to her glass "I Have behind two annoying problems and I have not been able to come undone of them."
"I imagine who are you talking about... a blond youth with mind powers and a brown youth of black hair, always dressed of dark."
Amanda looked at him it curious, Hawke had caught her attention. "Do you know Them?"
"Something about that, something about that." Hawke crossed his leg and he passed it finger in the mouth of his glass.
"Yes, that Huntress is really bothersome" Amanda took her hand to her jaw remembering the blows that Huntress had given her "It looks as she orders the blond."
"Would it interest you if something bad were to happen to her?"
Amanda's eyes shone intensely. "I'm listening"
"She ruined my plans too. We can work as a team."
"That was a huge mistake" growled Huntress, trying to contain her headache. Live Wire recovered quickly, stretching her hand and threw her an electricity shot. Huntress jumped and she landed next to Live Wire kicking her in the head.
