CHAPTER 9
Richard and Dinah had gone down to the bottom of the clock tower to bring up some new computers to try to get them hooked up. Barbara was in her wheelchair, checking on cables and discarding cables that were damaged. She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Oh good, you're back, Richard. I…" She looked up to find that it was not Richard standing behind him, it was David Crane. "What the…"
David punched Barbara across the face, knocking her out cold. David laughed as he looked around the clock tower. "Happy Birthday, Mrs. Quinn."

Three police cars came to a squealing halt. Just as they had stopped, Raven landed onto of the hood of the car. Raven flew upward to land on her feet on the hood. She leapt off the hood and ran after Helena. The police officers from all three cars jumped out of their cars with their guns pointing towards Helena.
"Wait!" Reese stepped in front of the line of fire. "Don't shoot!"
"Detective Reese?" One of the officers called out.
"Yes, it's me Brian," Reese replied. "You must let this fight go on to it's completion."
"The Huntress is wanted for murder. He murdered one of us, you know that!"
"The Huntress did not do it and I can prove it. The real killer is that girl whom she's fighting."
"I was there along side of Commissioner O'Reiley. I saw her kill her with my own two eyes."
"Who you really saw was this woman," Reese pointed to Raven. "She is a meta-human: someone who has special gifts. Her powers include shape shifting. She was in The Huntress' body."
"Do you realize how stupid that sounds!" One of the police officers replied. "Get out of our way!"
Raven had overhead the police and broke off her attack on Helena, leaving Helena standing there confused. Raven was not about to let the police stop this fight. There was only one way she was going to be able to continue this fight. "You stupid morons!" Raven spat. "It was I who killed your stupid police officer!"
Raven's body began to morph in front of the officer's eyes. By the time her transformation was done, she had morphed into the Huntress. "See how pathetic you humans are? So easily fooled, not to mention that your boss was the one who hired me to frame her for murder." Raven morphed back into her normal body and returned her attention back towards Helena. The police officers, still stunned about what they had just witnessed. The lowered their weapons back into their holsters and watched the fight.
Helena ran two steps before leaping towards Raven, with her right foot stretched out in front of her. Raven dropped and rolled on the ground to her right to avoid Helena. Just as Helena landed on her feet just inches past where Raven used to stand, Raven leaped onto her feet.
Raven attacked Helena with a series of swings and kicks. Helena moved her arms and legs quickly enough to block everything. Helena did a mid-height spin kick, kicking Raven in the ribs. Raven was sent crashing into the wall.
At this point, people had began gathering around in a safe distance, watching these two women fight to the bitter end. Some have even began to cheer on Helena. Reese was taken back by how the citizens of New Gotham already seemed to know who was the good guy and who was the villain.
Raven returned to her feet, but her body morphed into Dinah's body. The officers began to scratch their heads. "We've been looking for that girl as well. I suppose it was this woman all along."
Reese shrugged. Hey, whatever way to get Dinah free from her charge was fine with him. She was actually brainwashed into robbing the bank, but putting the blame on Raven accomplished the same thing.
"Die, Huntress!" Raven used her borrowed telepathic powers to lift one of the police cars up into the air. Raven waved her hand and the flying squad car came flying at Helena. Helena dashed forward just miss being hit by the front of the car crashing onto the road. Helena got back onto her feet when the car exploded behind Helena, sending her flying forward, closer to Raven.
While Helena was flying right to Raven, Raven leaped up and kicked her in the chest. Helena came crashing onto her back. Raven morphed back into her own body and jumped high up into the air and was coming back down on top of Helena, with her leg stretched out to stab her with her heel.
Helena rolled onto her left arm to avoid Raven's left heel. She rolled back onto her back and swung her right leg upward, kicking Raven behind her knee. Raven fell onto one knee while Helena rolled forward to roll back onto her feet. As Helena was about to land on her feet, she nailed Raven in the back of the neck with her elbow.
The on lookers cheered for Helena as she spun around to face Raven. Raven was stunned by Helena's last move and was struggling to her feet. Raven turned and made a desperate leap at Helena. Helena delivered a powerful punch in her face, sending her struggling backwards. Helena was able to deliver three more punches before kicking her in the chest, sending Raven crashing into the wall. Raven slipped into unconscious.
Reese ran to Helena with a smile on her face. "You did it! You finally beat Raven!"
Helena smiled at Reese. "Good riddance to her," She said, taking deep breaths, weary from the battle.
One of the police officers approached Reese and Helena. "Miss Huntress, on behalf of the NGPD, we want to apologize for everything you have gone through. You are officially cleared of all charges. Commissioner O'Reily will be brought up on charges."
"I appreciate it, officers, but let me handle your boss. Your boss is a bigger threat than you may think."
"Whatever you think is best. Good luck, Huntress."
Helena turned to Reese and smiled at him. "I guess things are getting back to normal. I'll catch you later, detective,"
Helena was about to leap onto the rooftops when Reese noticed that Raven was standing had pulled out a gun. She aimed it for Helena's back, and she had no idea about what was about to happen. "Huntress, look out!"
Helena spun around when a gun shot was fired. The gun fell out of Raven's hands as she collapsed to the ground, with a gun shot wound in her back, close to her rib cage. One of the police officers had fired their guns to save Helena. "Is she…"
Reese knelt down and felt Raven's neck for a pulse. "She'll be fine," Reese replied. Reese found a thin gray box lying besides Raven. Picking it up, he open the box to find several syringes of the morphing formula. "More of that formula!" He said to Helena as he handed it to her.
"We'll have an ambulance take her to the hospital," a police officer said pulling out his CB radio. Helena nodded as she took a flying leap up onto the rooftop and in seconds was out of sight and no where to be seen.
