"That Bane is a barbarian!" Live Wire screamed to Hawke by the phone "That
moron almost killed her!"
"Bane is somewhat brutal but very effective at what he does." Hawke said through the phone. "She is still alive, right?"
"More or less, will you still pay the full amount for her in this condition?" Live Wire asked.
"If she is still alive yes, dead will pay a little less. I want kill her personally." Hawke said. "Don't worry, she is alive, I knocked out Bane, he's such an idiot." Live Wire smiled.
Hawke laughed loud "Ok, keep her there, I promise to be there as soon as possible to start the show."

Huntress was in a small room where were the safe-deposit boxes were held in the old bank, she dozed lightly curled in a ball in the corner of the cell. She didn't know what hurt worse the headache or her ribs. In that moment she remembered the mic, it was on.
"¿Oracle.?" she said in low voice "Do you copy?" she only she could listened a deep silence "Oracle are you there?"
She heard a loud noise and lifted her head to look up. She saw the guard at the door flying through the air and smash against the wall. Dinah and Oracle entered the vault. Dinah saw her and went over to her.
"Be careful!, there is an magnetic field around me!" she exclaimed.
"Sorry if I didn't answer, I was busy." Oracle eyed the wall for a control panel. When she saw it, she began to work the cover off the panel.
"Are you alright?" Dinah asked her.
"I've had better days" Huntress said "Every bone in my body hurts."
Oracle crossed two wires causing a short circuit and the magnetic field disappeared. Dinah took Huntress' arm to help her to get up. Oracle took one look at her and knew Huntress' condition was not good at all.
"Huntress, We need to get you out of here right now. Where are Bane and Live Wire?" Oracle asked. "Bane is too dangerous to be left unaccounted for."
"Dangerous, you don't have to tell me that. I was his personal 'punching bag'." Helena tried to make light of the situation.
"Jokes! How can you be making jokes when that psycho is still out there?!" Dinah replied.
"Relax Dinah, Live Wire knocked Bane out when he demanded his payment for me." Huntress explained, "She left the room saying that she needed to call someone and that he wanted to come for me, personally."
"We were right, there is more than just Live Wire involved." Oracle said.
"You want to tell me just where the hell is this place?" Huntress looked around.
"In the old Gotham Central Bank in the underground ruins. We only found you because of Reese. He snagged an informant and 'persuaded' the nice gentleman to tell him where to find you. A bit primitive but effective, I must say. Dinah and I had to take out several of Live Wire's men before arriving down here." Oracle explained.
"Reese actually punched someone? Holy Police brutality. He did that for me?" Huntress was surprised.
"Yeah, seems he only does it for you." Dinah said with a sly smile.
"I wonder if that's good news or bad?" Huntress wondered.
"We will discuss it later. Can you walk?" Oracle asked her.
"Yes..." Huntress looked at Dinah "A little help would be great..."
"Sure..." Dinah smiled slightly at the fact that Huntress put away her stubborn streak for once. Suddenly, Huntress howled in pain, she raised a hand to her head as she felt a stabbing pain.
"What happened?" Dinah took her by the arm. "What's the matter?"
Oracle felt the impact of an electric discharge in her back, she smashed against the wall, and moaned when she felt as if her entire back was on fire, her clothes began to smoke, the transponder had been short circuited. Dinah turned her head in surprise to see Live Wire standing in the doorway of the vault. Dinah raised her hand and threw Live Wire backward, making her break her contact with Oracle. Oracle slid down the wall onto the floor, dazed.
Huntress realized that the transponder was still short circuiting and was burning Oracle. She reached over and unfastened the transponder from Oracle's back. She threw it to the other side of the room. Dinah jumped in front of Live Wire and ducked as Live Wire launched another discharge. Dinah quickly got in two good punches and Live Wire fell to the floor.
Dinah saw that she wasn't getting up and she took a couple of the Silicate spheres out of her coat pocket. She went to throw them when Live Wire jumped up and launched her attack. Dinah flew through the air as the electrical shock tore through her body. As she hit the floor all she could do was scream in agony as the electrical energy got more intense.
Huntress saw Dinah fall at Live Wire's underhanded sneak attack. With great effort, Huntress stood up and kicked Live Wire in the back. Live Wire turned toward Huntress and tried to punch her. Dinah curled up in a ball gasping in pain. Huntress blocked the punch with her arm.
"Not so fast, Sparky!" she said.
Live Wire, now really angry tried a roundhouse kick but was blocked again. Huntress attempted a kick of her own, but Live Wire grabbed her foot and pulled her down to the floor. They rolled around on the floor each trying to gain the upper hand. Live Wire quickly gained the upper hand, because of Huntress' injuries. Live Wire grabbed Huntress' head between her hands and tried to scramble Huntress' brains with some electricity. Huntress felt like her brain was going to explode and her entire body went into convulsions. A powdery substance covered them suddenly. The shocking that Huntress' was receiving, suddenly stopped.
Live Wire looked at her hands in absolute disbelief.
"What the.?!" Live Wire turned her head, "Ya blonde headed little twerp, what did you do to me?!"
Dinah was standing behind her. Live Wire raised her hands to throw some electricity, but not even sparks came out. Live Wire got up off of Huntress and turned to face Dinah.
"Well, I guess Sparky doesn't even fit for a nickname anymore." Dinah chuckled.
"Didn't you have enough, yet little birdy." Live Wire was beyond angry
"Enough? Bring it on!" Dinah responded. "Let's see how you are when you have to fight fair." Live Wire was not skilled in hands on fighting and Dinah knew, she relied on her electric discharges.
Oracle straightened herself out, her back felt like it was on fire. She realized the transponder was gone and she had a fairly large burn where it was. Huntress was on the floor nearby, unconscious. Oracle started crawling toward Huntress.
Dinah ducked to avoid Live Wire's punch. Dinah followed with a right cross to her face then a left hook to the stomach. Dinah used a right uppercut to Live Wire's chin and Live Wire fell to the floor, out cold. Dinah turned and ran toward where Huntress was.
"Live Wire tried to fry her brain." Dinah explained as she leaned down. "Oracle are you okay?"
"Just a small burn, its nothing." Oracle replied as she lifted Huntress' head. "But I don't know about her. We need to get her back to the Clocktower as soon as possible, she's in shock.
Reese entered to the vault "Oh, I was looking for you" he said with relief when saw them.
"Have the police arrived, yet?" Dinah asked.
"No, they will arrive in about 15 more minutes, What happened to her?" Reese came closer to Huntress looking very concerned.
"Not good at all, Reese" Oracle said, "I need your help in getting her back to the Clocktower, please."
"You can't walk." Dinah pointed out.
"Reese take Huntress to the Hummer, then come back for me. Dinah could you tie up Live Wire before she decides to wake up?" Oracle asked
