Note: Okay folks here it is, number six. For those of you who don't know, I
will state it now. This is a Helena, Dinah fic, they will be in a
relationship, and if you have a problem with it, then don't read it. I
won't tolerate, any flames based on this fact, I warned you already. Sorry
to be a little mean there, but it had to be done, so for those of you who
are left, enjoy the chappie.
Disclaimer: You've read it five times before; I don't own them.
For all those in the park, it was a strange sight to see; a red head in a high tech wheel chair, a dark haired, fiery beauty, and a blond that even during the heat, was covered almost head to toe in clothes. They were lounging about on top of a flannel blanket spread atop the ground, with a picnic basket placed in the center, "You know guys, I've told you quiet a few of my little adventures, and I think that it's time you told me one of yours." Dinah decided, staring at the both of them from her position lying on her stomach.
"I suppose it's only fair, but. . . I'll tell you one that's more fun, there's no need to bring up any bad, or boring memories right now." Barbara replied.
Helena, who had been leaning back on her hands, pulled herself upright, and quickly moved over to Barbara, "You're joking right? All your 'fun' stories include my embarrassment."
"Oh come on Helena, it's all in the name of fun. And you wouldn't deny me that would you?" Dinah asked putting on her best pout and puppy dog eyes.
"I. No... Well. . .I don't. . . Fine." Helena caved rather unhappily, "That's so not fair." She growled at Dinah, who put on her best innocent what-did-I-do face. "Damn I just can't win." Helena sighed silently, sitting down cross-legged, and resting her chin in one hand.
"Let me think, now that Helena has given full permission, I could use some pretty juicy ones, but that would just be mean. Hmmm, there was the one time when Helena was fighting a Meta on top of a roof. She got shoved off, and wound up landing in a garbage truck." Both Barbara, and Dinah laughed while Helena scowled at the two of them.
"This isn't fair, Barbara has no mess ups that I can tell, and it's not like me or Barbara could force you to tell Dinah."
"You're cute when you pout. The big bad Helena turned into a big sweet softy." Dinah joked.
"Have not." Using her feral abilities, Helena raced over to Dinah, picked her up, and placed Dinah on her shoulder, "Take it back."
"What? Let me down softy." Dinah playfully demanded.
"Not 'til you take it back."
"Alright fine, you're the big, bad, tough, hardass known as Helena Kyle." Admitted Dinah, "Now put me down."
"Okay." Helena shrugged, dropping Dinah unceremoniously to the ground.
"You two are hopeless." Barbara sighed, watching the whole exchange, "A bunch of five year olds would be better than this." Helena and Dinah shared a glance, and before Barbara knew what was happening she was the one over Helena's shoulder. "Put me back."
Both Dinah and Helena shared another glance before grinning and saying the same thing, "Not until you take it back."
"Alright I take it back." Helena put her on the blanket in a relatively comfortable position, "A bunch of three year olds would be better." For that comment Helena pinched Barbara's hand. "What was that for?"
"For finding the loop hole." Dinah answered for Helena. Secretly she had been a little saddened by the exchange, Helena's skin against Barbara's; something she thought she'd never be able to feel again, human contact. Quickly she shook away the thoughts; there was no way that she was going to let something like that ruin their day. "Helena, let's play some Frisbee." Dinah grinned, pulling the plastic disk from the basket.
They spent the rest of the afternoon playing games, and exchanging stories, it was like they had never been separated; to all of them it was a wonderful feeling. Eventually the day had to end though, and all headed back to the clock tower much happier than they had been in a long time, five years to be more precise. For one afternoon they were able to forget that there was evil in the world, and instead concentrate on the goodness that was able to blossom under their care.
It was a brightly lit room, and highly decorated with a variety of paintings, sculptures, and other little odds and ends. "Did it work?"
"I'm afraid not Mr. Inyana, somehow she knew it was there and not only avoided it, but also disabled it."
"This makes me unhappy Saitoh. What else have you found out?"
"The sniper missed as well, he was incompetent, but is of no concern anymore. Our source suggests that she is now staying in the clock tower with two other women, one of which is confined to a wheel chair, and the other seems to be a fighter." Saitoh notified as he pulled out a file setting it in front of Saio. "These are pictures of the girls, the clock tower, and all the information we've managed to gather on each."
Saio leafed through the file, closely examining all the pictures, and then he came to some of the more interesting ones. Inside the clock tower, there seemed to be screens and machines everywhere, "Perhaps this is who she works for. They seem to be some sort of spy, or defense faction. There's no telling how many actually work for them, but this could easily be the head quarters. Tell me about the weapon shipment."
"It's going well Mr. Inyana, five shipments of the semi-automatics you ordered have arrived, the plastic explosives, the missile launchers, and the helicopter should be coming in within the week." Saitoh reported, listing everything from memory.
"I want a team sent to the clock tower, at least thirty men and either you or one of the other Youkai leading them. Arm them with whatever you want; just make sure you're prepared. And if at all possible, bring me Ms. Adams alive." Saitoh bowed, then exited. "I do not take double agents lightly, and you'll find that out soon Ms. Adams." Siao spoke to a picture showing Dinah walking down the street.
Business had commenced once more at the clock tower; Barbara was currently searching all the locations that the Kaze might be hiding, while Dinah and Helena trained. Both wore loose clothes Dinah in a long sleeved shirt compared to Helena's tank, both also wore a pair of gloves for Dinah's sake. "You know this is one of the top ten things I missed Helena." Dinah admitted.
"And what is this exactly?"
"Training with you, or Huntress. This'll be fun especially since I've gotten better in the past five years while you probably got slower in your old age." Dinah teased lightly.
"I resent that, I'm only four years older than you. I'll make you eat your words when I beat you though." Helena grinned wolfishly as she turned into Huntress, "Let's go. . .super kid."
"You're going to get it now." Dinah warned as she launched herself at Huntress with a kick, Huntress blocked and countered with a backhand that Dinah dodged. Using her lower position Dinah went for a jab in Huntress's stomach only to have her hand caught and twisted behind her back.
"I don't seem to be getting anything yet." Huntress taunted, Dinah jerked her arm down and broke Huntresses grip on her arm bringing her elbow back into Huntress, momentarily stunning her. Reversing her position so that she was now facing Huntress, Dinah brought up her hands and clapped them hard over Huntresses ears causing her to stumble away, but before she could Dinah grabbed the back Huntress around the neck and head butted her.
"You getting it now." Dinah taunted right back, following up with a kick to Huntress's knee, which did bring her down, but also allowed Huntress to sweep Dinah's feet, who was knocked to her back. Huntress stood back up and backed a little distance from Dinah so that she could regroup, in the mean time Dinah took the opportunity to flip back onto her feet, both moved into separate fighting stances, Huntresses offensive, and Dinah's defensive, beckoning Huntress with one hand making a 'come on' motion. Huntress moved in to attack keeping fairly low, but all of her punches were blocked by Dinah, so instead of attacking her from the front Huntress spun around, and captured Dinah in a head lock. It didn't last long though, as Dinah managed to flip Huntress over, unfortunately for Dinah, Huntress managed to land on her feet, much like a cat. She turned to attack again, but Dinah was prepared, so when Huntress came at her, she fell back and used Huntresses momentum to throw her.
Both flipped back to their feet breathing heavily, "You know, as surprising as it is, I am gettin it, but now it's your turn." Huntress took a running start, and then to Dinah's surprise flipped over her landing gracefully behind her. Before Dinah could turn Huntress tried to sweep her legs, Dinah managed to jump over them at the last second, and as she was still in the air, kicked backwards-catching Huntress in the jaw. Dinah then ran towards the wall with Huntress following close behind, Dinah ran up the wall doing a twisting flip over Huntress, but her strategy didn't work. Anticipating this, Huntress turned while Dinah was still in the air, and grabbed her shirt while she was coming down throwing her to the ground, then pinning her hands to the floor. "Looks like I win." Huntress smirked turning back to Helena.
There was a pause, both of their breathing was labored, coming out in pants, and Helena had yet to move off of Dinah. Their eyes locked, blue on brown, "I loved you once, I don't know if you ever knew that, but it's true." Dinah confessed, Helena was about to say something, but Dinah interrupted her. "Don't tell me that it was just some stupid crush, that I was only sixteen and didn't know what I was doing. . . because it wasn't, I did love you, not in the big sister family way either. I'm sorry; I shouldn't have said that."
"Don't be." Helena told her, shifting off of Dinah so that they could both sit up, and hold the conversation in more comfort. "It took a lot to just confess that to me Dinah, and I'm the one who should be sorry. I don't have the same strength as you when it comes to feelings, for me a lot of it is just anger. You know, I tried a relationship with Reese, and it was nice," Dinah's look turned even more sad if it was possible, "at first anyway. It wasn't fair to him though, he lavished me with gifts and attention, and I was. . .distracted."
"By what?" Dinah asked softly.
"Some one who was, no, is a very important part of my life. Who, even after they left, were still remembered by me. I thought about them a lot, and how I wished that I had been brave enough to tell them the truth because when they left, I thought that I had lost them forever."
"Who." It was barely breathed, but even if Helena hadn't heard the question, she would've already known what it was.
"You." Came the equally soft admission.
Dinah looked at her, deep into the soft brown eyes, and then past those into her soul, it was as beautiful as everything else, soft and supple, yet rough and unyielding, she looked away unable to see what she knew she couldn't have. "I lied a little. I said that I loved you, when the truth is that I still do. It would never work though."
"Why? I love you Dinah, I've been waiting for five years, and judging by what you've said, you were to." Helena argued, confused by Dinah's view of things.
"Because it wouldn't be fair. I can't touch anyone, I can't touch you, don't you understand? We can't kiss; we can't do anything that involves skin against skin, because of me. I've lived with this for years, I'm used to it, but if you and I have a relationship you'd have to get used to never actually touching me." Dinah sobbed, "It's so unfair. Why couldn't you tell me this five years ago when I needed it? I was so scared, and I couldn't deal alone. I needed you, and I thought that I didn't have you."
"I'm so sorry Dinah." Helena wanted nothing more than to crush Dinah to her in a reassuring hug, but figured that she wouldn't appreciate it right now. "I wish that I could go back and change everything, let you know how I felt, but I was scared to Dinah. It wasn't exactly easy knowing that I was in love with a someone who was four years younger than me, and a girl no less. I'm telling you now though Dinah, I love you, and when you need me, you have me."
Dinah fell forward into Helena's arms, and they held each other, taking comfort in each other's presence; the feeling of solitude seemed to vanish. Finally Dinah's sobs subsided, turning into the occasional hiccup, "I'm glad that you're here with me now." Dinah told Helena.
In return, Helena smiled at her and agreed, "Ditto. C'mon we should take a shower and get changed, I'm sure you don't want to face Barbara like this."
"Yeah." They walked out of the room heading in their separate directions, but they never felt closer to one another as they did then when the fact that they had a relationship started to sink in. After several minutes, they both came out refreshed and ready to meet Barbara, and take on the Kaze.
"Barbara, what cha got for us?" Helena asked.
"I've found a building, very high class, and it seems to fit the profile of their earlier building from what Dinah told us."
"Oh, hold on, I'll get Tek to form a link with you so that the both of you can do your work together." Dinah turned on her COM and started conversing with Tek, a few moments later, she turned back to Barbara, "Tek says that you'll now be in constant contact."
"Good thinking Dinah." Barbara complimented, "Now back to the building, several people have been seen going in and out dressed similarly to the Kaze uniforms, and mysterious deliveries have been made during the night. I think we found our building ladies."
"We should get a move on then, I want this thing over and done with." Helena flashed a smile at Dinah.
They were about to leave when a hail of bullets shattered the face of the clock, "Get down!" Dinah yelled, the bullets were still firing, and Dinah used her telekinesis to hold them off until everyone could take cover. She fell beside Helena, her head throbbing painfully, but she pushed it to the back of her mind; after all there was work to do.
"Canary, what's going on?" Tek asked, having heard the whole exchange.
"The Kaze found us, we're going to need some help. Try sending the plane, see if you can hold a few of them off." Canary suggested. "We have to get out of here now. Knowing the way the Kaze work, there won't be much of the clock tower left after this." Fortunately she was wearing her crime suit in the hopes that they would find something on the Kaze, from the belt she produced a small square device, which she threw into the path leading to the elevator. It beeped a few times, before opening to produce some sort of shielding, "It's a temporary field, it won't last so we have to go now."
Knowing that Barbara's chair would be too slow, Huntress picked her up out of it, and they ran for the elevator, the doors closed and the elevator headed down just as the shield failed. They used a secret back exit built into the elevator, which the Kaze obviously didn't know about. After three blocks they heard a loud explosion, and when they turned they saw that the clock tower, their base, their home had been destroyed.
Note: How do you like it? I've never written romance before, so if you could let me know how that worked out, it would really be appreciated. Once again, thank you so, so, so much you lovely reviewers. Helenakyle, I wish I could use your computer, cause then I could update, but alas, I won't be anywhere near there. I will try to write while I'm away though, and maybe I'll have a few more chapters done, but then again at the rate I'm writing, I may even be able to get in another chappie. Everybody cheer.
