Helena stands back up on her feet, she doesn't know what to do, few minutes later, she hears cops running down the halls, she turns her head, and she sees the windows open. She didn't feel like being questioned by the cops, because they will most likely be very suspicious of her and then they probably will accuse her. She knows escaping is the safest thing for her to do, plus if she waits and gets questioned, time will probably run out, and Barbara and the headmaster would be dead by then. She turns to the window and she runs up to it and she dives right through the open window. She lands onto the ground and she heads to the clock tower, many trying to run up information, who knows, she must do something to save both of them.

"Nah" he puts the gun away, "I won't waste a bullet on you, because I have one bullet" he walks away from Barbara, she takes a deep breathe, almost a sign of relief, for her, she hopes he doesn't shoot the headmaster, he walks away and stands in front of the two, lined up, but couple feet apart, "What was the old saying," he starts to pretend he is thinking, "Oh ya, I'm going to kill two birds, that is you two" as he starts to point the gun at them, with one stone, meaning with one bullet!"

'Oh no' thought Barbara to herself, 'I hope Helena finds us in time'. She takes a deep gulp with fear. She looks at the headmaster, hoping that he knows, that someone will rescue him and her as well.

***

Helena, runs down the street, really fast, she could care-less about exposure or she might lose her secret identity, open to the public, in broad daylight. She runs into the clock tower building, she runs up to the paneling and she starts to type in the security number. Finally the elevator door opens and she walks into it. She starts to press the button, for the roof part, like crazy. The door closes and the elevator starts to go up, suddenly it stops. "CRAP!" She presses the emergency button, "I hope Alfred is here or I'm screwed, especially Barbara and the headmaster" For few minutes, time is running out and Helena is still stuck in the elevator, "Oh no, what do I do?" She starts to think, but her mind is pure blank, due to be nervous and she is in panicky mode, "Oh no!!" she starts to scream, which turns into somewhat of a cry.

***

"Okay, I won't kill you two yet, but I'm going to set up clock, when it dings, you two will lose your lives and it will be labeled as suicide," Barbara starts to speak, but since her mouth is duct taped, its coming up, kinda funky, "Did you say something?" he walks up to her and he pulls off the tape of her mouth, "Anything you like to add?"

"Actually, for your information that would be murder, A. We are both kinda stuck, meaning unable to shoot ourselves in the head and B. You have one bullet"

"Hey, your kind of smart, then again, your not, because it won't be murder, due to, I'm wearing plastic gloves, and after I shoot you two with one bullet, I'm going to untie him, when he is dead and make his figure prints on the gun, is that perfect?"

"You know what, your sick and you desperately need to go to Arkham, where you truly belong!"

He walks up to her and smacks her across the face, with his arm, knocking her out, cold. "Stupid girl" He walks away and noticing the headmaster staring at him, "What'ca looking it?" He turns his head to the ground, "That is what I thought"

He walks up to a clock and made it set to 60:00, Helena must come to this place, like less than an hour, or those two are toast

***

Helena starts to think, she has an idea, she opens the elevator and she looks up, "I have to do a lot of climbing" she jumps on top, of the elevator roof, she starts to climb on the ropes, that is leading to the top, as she was climbing, she sense, the elevator is moving, "Uh oh" she starts to climb really fast, her hands are turning red and somewhat blistery, heck, she is ignoring the pain, because she is thinking about something really important and must focus on that, at all cost.

Finally she made it and she kicks down the elevator door, she runs into the main part and notices the elevator rises up to where she is, really fast and it stops, she was lucky, because she would have been a squash insect.

She runs up to the computer and she starts to type stuff, she didn't know what she was doing, she starts to enter a database and she starts to type in the boy's name. Finally a file was found. She double clicks it and the file opens, she sees the address to where he might be. She quickly memorizes the address. She runs up the clock tower window and she opens the window and she walks out and she jumps off the roof and she lands on top of the roof, she is still focusing on this kind of an mission, she doesn't care, if the citizens in New Gotham, she is a Metahuman crime fighter, don't forget to mention, she is Batman and Catwoman's kid.

She sees the street, she jumps off the building and the pedestrians looks at her, then they went back to do what they were doing, they also could care less too, because its New Gotham. She starts to run down the street and she starts to pass a couple of people, her speed starts to speed, she finally finds the place, she jumps on top of the roof, she walks up to the sun roof and she looks right through it, she sees Barbara, the headmaster and the killer.

***

"Time is about up, only 50:00 minutes left, I'm getting bored" he shuts the clock off, he takes out the gun out, "Well, its been fun, both of you" he raises the gun and ready to pull the trigger.

Above, Helena eyes widen, she jumps right through the sun roof, as the glass starts to go everywhere and she lands onto the ground, right in front of him, she kicks the gun out of his hand, "Nice try junior" she grabs him and she threw him at the wall.

He stands up quickly, "oooo, you must be the newly crime fighter, congratulations" He smiles at her, "Wait do I know you?" He pretends to think again, "Oh, ya, your Helena Kyle, the chick, that I hit you with the wooden plank, I remember that dearly"

"Kyle Peterson, this is something your also gonna remember dearly, how a chick kicks your butt, all the way to East Africa" she walks a bit closer.

"Well this is going to be very interesting," he snaps his fingers and couple guys walks into the place, sealing everything off, taking the two hostages into the room, "Don't worry, they will be taken care of," Helena and Kyle starts to circle each other, both in a fighting position.
