Chapter 6: Realization

"Hey, Connor."

"Hey, Dinah."

"Are you okay?"

"I don't know. I mean, I don't really know what to think or how to feel. I just found out that my father is alive. I should be happy, right? I have a second chance with him now. The only problem is, is that he can't remember anything, he doesn't have a soul, and he's working for a super villain who's trying to kill every meta human in New Gotham. I'm a little freaked out."

"Well, that's perfectly understandable."

"Yeah, well, I guess I really should be focused on stopping Two Face. I mean, Helena's life is at risk, your life is at risk. I shouldn't really be thinking about my father. That's kind of selfish of me."

"No, it's okay that you're thinking about him. If I found out my mother was alive that's all I would be thinking about."

"Dinah, I don't know how I'm going to get through this."

"What do you mean?"

"Seeing him again. It'll be hard to see him again because I just realized that that man may look like my father but he's not him. Even though Ollie's body is back to life, it still isn't him. It's not the same father that I knew. He doesn't have his soul.

"The worst part is, is that no matter how hard I might try, he'll never be Ollie. He won't remember me. He'll never remember me or anything else that ever happened in his life. Ollie may be back to life but he can't be part of my life again. He's not my father."

Dinah pulled him into an embrace. She felt bad for him. Even though his father was alive, he still wasn't his father. He didn't have Ollie's soul so he wasn't really Ollie. Facing him will probably be the hardest thing Connor will ever have to do. She had no idea how she would feel if she was in his position.

"Everything's going to be okay, Connor."

"I hope so." They both looked into each other's eyes. "Why do you always have to make me feel better?"

"I don't know. It's a gift." He smiled. She hadn't seen him smile all week.

"Oliver, are you ready for tomorrow?" Two Face asked him.

"Yeah, I'm ready. Just remember our deal. Once I help you then you tell me who I am."

"Of course I'll tell you. Just remember the plan. If you see Huntress or anybody else trying to stop us, you have to kill them."

"I know."

"And no matter what she tells you, it's all a lie. She's just trying to manipulate you. Remember, the younger vigilante can enter into your mind. She'll probably use her powers so you will trust them and they can ruin my plans. Whatever they tell you, don't believe it. It's not true."

"Yeah, I know." Suddenly, Oliver had a flash. He saw Two Face flipping a coin. The coin landed in his hand. He smiled, took out his gun, and fired it. The flash ended. He had no idea what it meant. Was it a memory from his past or was it his mind playing tricks on him? He had no idea. Maybe his mind was trying to tell him something. No, that wouldn't make any sense. He knew his flash meant something though. He just wished he could remember.

Two Face saw the look on his face. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired."

"Okay, well get some sleep. You have to be ready for tomorrow. We can't allow Huntress to stop us. I'll see you tomorrow, Oliver." Two Face left the room, leaving Oliver lost in his thoughts.

"I think I found something," Barbara said from downstairs.

"What is it?" Helena asked her.

"Well, I've been looking through all of Two Face's old hideouts and so far we haven't found him at any of them. We've looked through the entire city and we still haven't found him."

"So, what's your point, Barbara?"

"I noticed that the bank and STAR Labs are near the sewers and the sewers lead to Old Gotham."

"So, you think Two Face is hiding in Old Gotham?"

"It's the only place we haven't looked."

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

"Wait, bring Connor with you."

"Why can't I just go alone?"

"Because last time you went alone to Old Gotham, it didn't turn out too well. And just in case you run into trouble, you'll have backup with you."

"Well, why do I have to bring Connor? Why can't I just bring Dinah?"

"Because I need Dinah here. And just incase you're exposed to something down there, since Connor isn't a meta human, he can get you out."

"Okay, fine. Hey, Connor," She yelled upstairs.

"Yeah."

"Get into costume. We're going to Old Gotham."

"Okay." He turned towards Dinah. "I'll see you later."

"Okay, be careful." He kissed her on the cheek and went off to join Helena to explore Old Gotham. Wow, alone with Huntress. This ought to be interesting.
