Helena's Christmas: Batman's
Promise Part 6
~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~%~~~~~~% "Barbara! Barbara! Barbara! Oh, please be home!" Helena shouted as she ran into the control room.
"What is it now Helena? Do you need some fashion advice?" Barbara asked as she wheeled into the room.
"No, it's really serious Barbara."
"Sure, what is it?" she asked as she wheeled herself over to the closest computer.
"Someone captured Batman."
"That's not funny, Helena!"
"I'm not joking, I'm serious! He came to see me, I didn't tell you or anyone else cuz I wasn't sure I was gonna go. But I went and some guy captured him and I tried to get him back but he threw me against the wall and was gone before I could stop him again."
"Where was this?" Barbara asked getting straight to business.
"Gotham café, around eight-fifteen tonight."
"Well, lets see if I have any surveillance; can you tell me anything about the crime?"
"Um.the front window of the café was shattered, the whole café filled with smoke and that's when he took Bruce."
"I swear I remember those tactics from somewhere."
"Jack."
"Huh?"
"Remember Joker's jack-in-the-boxes, the head one was Jack and he wanted to be the next Joker and his tactics were shatter front window, and smoke."
"Right, the question is who hired him? I mean, Batman's been out of commission for a while."
"Maybe he was after me and didn't know it, the last time he was seen was the day the Joker got locked up."
"Yeah, the last I heard he was in Montana."
"Well, there's a crime filled state."
"He obviously hasn't been keeping up with the times in Gotham."
"Well, now he has Bruce, and we need to find a way to get him out, alive."
"Well, duh!"
"I've got surveillance, he heading towards the abandon warehouses."
"Well, there's something new."
"I'm gonna try to find out which one he's in. You change into you Huntress costume."
"Superheroes wear costumes, I wear an outfit!"
"Whatever! Just go change!"
"I'm going, I'm going. I'll be back in five."
"Just hurry up." ~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~&~~~~~~& "Reese!"
"Yes, Sir?" Reese asked turning around.
"I have a new case for you, there's been a kidnapping at Gotham café, and we need to find the kidnapper man as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"Because the multimillionaire Bruce Wayne has be kidnapped."
"Oh, so."
"Go to the crime scene and see what you can figure out."
"Yes, Commissioner Gordon."
Reese left the station and headed to the crime scene; what he was looking for he didn't know. ~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+~~~~~~+ "So, how's Dinah?" Helena asked as she flopped down in her chair.
"She's better, the drug is completely out of her system."
"How'd you do that?"
"I gave her an injection of some pretty strong pain killers, which caused her to throw up for about four hours and got all the drug out of her system."
"You gave her cancer treatments?"
"Yeah, it's the only way it would get out of her system; she still has her hair, it wasn't that strong."
"Good, when's she gonna be back on duty?"
"A day or two."
"Good, so what's the plan?"
"Well, since he doesn't know about you, I figured we'd surprise he. He's at Joker's old warehouse."
"Ironic, ain't it?"
"Well, we better be getting to work."
"Smart idea, what about Dinah?"
"Alfred can watch her, she too weak to fight crime right now."
"Oh, so she's pissed. Ain't she?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
"So, what's our plan."
"Well, you can come in one of three ways; ceiling, window or door."
"I love dropping in on people."
"Ceiling, okay. Here's what your gonna do: there's an already crumbling part of the ceiling, break it, then drop in, it's in the middle of the warehouse. That will give you a pretty good visual, find Bruce first, and then, deal with Jack. Make sure that Bruce doesn't have any injuries and he's conscious. If he's not, then try to treat his injuries, unless of course Jack gets in your way."
"Okay, Barbara, I know the drill."
"Turn your com set on, and have it on at all times."
"Yes, Barbara."
"Now, you better get going."
"I'm on my way."
"Hurry."
"Yeah, yeah." ~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)(~~~~~~)( Helena stood on the roof of the warehouse, carefully looking for the crumbling part of the ceiling. "Huntress?" Helena quickly whirled around and getting into fighting stance, she relaxed when she saw it was Reese.
"What the hell are you doing here Reese?" Huntress asked as she pushed the hair out of her face.
"I'm looking for a kidnapped man, Bruce Wayne."
"Ironic, but you better get off the case."
"And, why is that?"
"Because this kidnapping isn't any of your business, it's mines and my fellow vigilantes."
"Well, I was put on the case, and I'm not about to give it up!"
"Listen to me Reese this doesn't concern you, so just leave."
"What do you mean this doesn't concern me?"
"It's non of you business, Reese! Get out of here, now!"
"I'm not leaving, I'm here to do my job," he said taking a step forward, the ceiling became to cave in. Huntress caught his arm before he fell all the way through, she pulled him back up and saw Jack looking up at her.
"Shit! Thanks a lot Reese!" Huntress shouted shoving Reese backwards off the roof and into an open dumpster. (A/N: Funny, funny!)
"Hopefully Oracle has another plan up her fancy sleeves." Helena raced across the rooftops of Gotham until she reached the clock tower. "Hey Barbara," Helena said as she causally walked into the room.
"Where is Bruce?" Barbara asked as she looked up from her work.
"Um.I think your gonna need a new plan."
"Why?"
"Reese screwed it up, he's on the case and he won't give it up."
"Swear to God. Alright, I got to think of a new plan. Damn!"
"I'm guessing surprise entrance is out of the plan."
"Oh, yeah. Well, just get in, and after that just do whatever to get Bruce out of there safely."
"Okay, so I'm gonna need back up aren't I?"
"Yeah, you are."
"But Dinah's out of commission."
"Well, she gonna have to suck it up for now."
"Okay, so I'm gonna be doing the work of one and a half people."
"Pretty much."
"Great fun."
"Alfred, tell Dinah to get ready."
"Yes, Miss Barbara," Alfred replied making his way up the stairs.
"Will I need anything?" Helena asked hopping onto the computer desk.
"No, well I am giving you a few supplies to use just in case."
"What?"
"The usual."
"Okay, so I put them."
"I'm gonna give half to Dinah and the other half to you, and I want you to put them where they're most assessable to you, understand?"
"Yeah."
"What do you want Barbara?" Dinah asked as she walked down the stairs with the happiest smile on her face.
"Someone has kidnapped Bruce Wayne, there's no time to explain the details. You and Helena are gonna head to the warehouse, you're gonna find Bruce and make sure he's alright, that's all you have to do, understand?" Barbara said as she handed Dinah half of the supplies. "Put them in the place most assessable to you, understand?"
"Yes, and yes."
"Good, I found a way for both of you to get in without being seen or noticed, but you have to be quite." She said as she handed Helena the blue prints to the warehouse.
"Got ya," Helena said. "So, well be on our way. Let's go Dinah." Helena said pushing Dinah into the elevator. ~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()
Helena got the roof door open, it was small and Dinah went in first followed by Helena; she dropped down onto the cement floor of the hallway. She and Dinah made their way to the ground floor, they made their way through the hallway and down the stairs. They stopped when they bummed into Reese, "Didn't I tell you to stay out of it?" Helena whispered.
"You don't tell me what to do, Huntress," Reese replied angrily.
"This is your case to deal with, it's ours!"
"How is it your case?"
"It's personal!"
"To who?"
"To me, Oracle and Dinah. It's very personal!"
"Huntress, I don't feel so." Dinah started. Huntress quickly turned around and pulled Dinah straight up before she could pass out.
"Dinah, how do you feel?"
"Can we stop for a few minutes?"
"You've got two."
"Okay."
Dinah caught her breath and Helena helped her to her feet; they continued on their way to the stairs, "Reese, leave," Huntress said. Dinah collapse next to Helena, "Then again I could use some help. Dinah stay here, until Reese and I came back, got it?"
"Yeah," Dinah replied.
"Contact Oracle, understand and tell her what's going on."
"Yeah, I know."
Huntress headed down the stairs first, with Reese pretty far behind; Dinah got up, she felt much better, she could tell Helena she could do the job. She was only two steps away from Reese, when she began to feel dizzy and before she knew is she was tumbling down the stairs; she knocked Reese down in the process. Huntress was already half way into the warehouse, Jack walked over and Huntress hid behind one of the cargo boxes, "Well, well, what do we have here? A detective and a little girl, interesting," Jack said as he dragged them further into the warehouse.
"Fuck!" Huntress shouted as she dashed for the stairs, she ran up the stairs as quickly as she could. "Oracle, we've got a huge problem."
"What is it Huntress?" Oracle asked concerned.
"Um.Dinah and Reese have been captured."
"Fuck."
"Well, there's a new word for you."
"Get out of there now!"
"See ya soon." ~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~=~~~~~~= "So, it's basically up to us," Helena said as she looked over Barbara's should.
"Yeah, that would be it."
"Great, so what's the plan?"
"Um.I'm not sure yet."
"Okay, that's great."
"I think I might know a plan, but it's old."
"Let's hear it." ~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~* "You captured the wrong hero! You idiot! You were supposed to capture Huntress!" Harley shouted stomping her feet. "I can't believe how badly you screwed up! I could just kill you!"
"But I captured Batman," Jack said trying his best to protect himself.
"He's not the pain in my ass!"
"I could capture this pain in your ass, if you'd like."
"You've already got me in enough trouble!"
"So, what do you want me to do with them?"
"Get rid of them, what else? And do it quickly!"
"Yes, do I still get my money?"
"Half, and only half. Get rid of them and make sure they can't pin it on me, understand?"
"Yes, I do."
"Good, hurry up." Harley exited as Dinah awoke from her unconscious state, she looked around, she was tied to a chair; just great, just great, I screw up once.okay so it was more than once, Dinah thought. She looked over her shoulder to find Reese tied to another chair; how am I going to get out of this mess? Dinah questioned herself. She remembered all the supplies she had in her coat; there was a knife, she got it out and began to cut her ropes. Reese was unconscious and there was no way she untie him, she made her way over to Bruce.
"Do I know you?" Bruce whispered.
"Dinah, Black Canary's daughter, I work with your daughter Helena, well Huntress and Barbara, Batgirl well actually Oracle, now," Dinah replied.
"No, fancy nickname?"
"No, not yet."
"So, what's the plan?"
"Wait for Huntress and Oracle."
"That's a good plan."
"Yeah, I figured you'd say that."
"What about the detective?"
"Oh, Huntress's boyfriend, she'll save him." ~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^ "Okay, this is the final plan, Huntress, if anyone screws this one up, it's all over. We're all dead, there's no other plan," Oracle said looking up at Helena.
"Like I need more pressure, Oracle," Huntress replied as she placed Barbara's wheel chair on the ground. "Ready?"
"Yeah, don't drop me."
"I don't."
"One word Huntress: Dinah."
"It was an accident."
"No it wasn't!" Dinah chimed in.
"Dinah?" they said together.
"No, Santa. Yes, Dinah. I got Bruce untied and myself."
"What about Reese?" Oracle asked.
"Well, he's unconscious at the moment."
"Okay, me and Huntress are making our way in, where's Jack?"
"Jack?"
"Big bad."
"Oh, he's figuring out a way to get rid of us."
"How nice, he's putting effort into it," Huntress replied helping Oracle down. Oracle got into her wheelchair and they made their way to the ground floor of the warehouse, "Ready?" Huntress asked as she looked over at Barbara.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Oracle replied.
"1."
"2."
"3," they both said. Oracle was already on the ground floor but Huntress was making her way across the pipelines. She positioned herself a few feet away from Jack, and then she dropped down behind him. "I hear you were looking for me," Huntress said putting her hand on her hips. Jack turned around and narrowed his eyes, "You!"
"The name is Huntress, remember it," Huntress replied as she stood her ground.
"You cost me a lot of money."
"Oh, did I? That's great!" He came at her; she kicked him in the stomach sending him flying backwards into the desks. "Did that hurt?" Huntress asked, a sly smirk on her face. She ran towards Batman and Dinah, "Go with Barbara right now, go!" Huntress said as she rushed them towards Barbara. She made her way over to Reese, but Jack got in her way.
"And where do you think you're going?" Jack asked standing in front of her.
"I don't know, not here?" Huntress replied as she moved away from him.
"Running, are you?"
"No, just moving out of the way."
"Really, is that so?"
"Is this twenty-one questions or something?"
"Well, we could of course. Question one, what's your name?"
"Huntress, what's yours?"
"Jack, how old are you?"
"Twenty-something. You?"
"Enough of this silly game!"
"But I was having so much fun."
"This isn't about fun, it's about killing."
"Oh, really, that's cool! But this, this is painful," Huntress replied kicking Jack in the face, while doing a back flip. She landed on her feet with little effort, Bruce made his way over to Reese and untied him, he slung him over his shoulder and they headed for the front door.
"And where are you five going?" the man who stood in front of the front door asked.
"Um.Oracle, don't look now but we're in big trouble," Huntress whispered over here shoulder.
"You don't say, Huntress," Oracle replied as she turned her wheel chair around; they were surrounded by ten guys. "Okay, you and Bruce take the five on the right and Dinah and I will take the five on the left," Oracle whispered over her shoulder.
"What about Reese?" Huntress whispered back.
"Um.we'll just have to protect him, alright, as best as we can. Understand everyone?"
"Yes," they all replied.
"Ready.set.go!" Oracle shouted as Bruce laid Reese body in the middle of the four of them.
"You cover my back I cover yours," Bruce whispered as he and Huntress went into fighting stance.
"Deal," Huntress replied kicking one of the guys in the crock.
"I feel sorry for him."
"I don't."
"And that's where your mother's genes kick in."
"Yeah, so I've heard."
"And what's this thing I heard about you and the detective?" Bruce asked as they continued to fight.
"It's a professional relationship."
"That's the same thing I said about me and your mother."
"So, what are you saying?"
"It's not a professional relationship."
"Yes, it is."
"Yeah, and that's why you're so worried about him?"
"He's my partner."
"Huntress."
"Must we talk about this right now?" Huntress asked as she laid her back against Bruce's and her flipped her over and onto the guys in front of him, she landed directly in front of him; she punched him five times in the face, tripped him, then slammed her foot into him stomach sending flying into a wall. "Two down," Huntress replied as she moved onto the next guy.
"Must you be a show off?"
"Hey, I got that from you."
"Yeah, I know, but your not letting me show off."
"Sorry, it's not my fault I'm better."
"You aren't better than me."
"And yet I'm still kicking more ass than you."
"That's not the point."
"Sure."
"It's not."
"Yes it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"Yes, it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"Yes it is!!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!!"
"Do you two mind! We are trying to beat the bad guys!" Oracle shouted at them.
"We are beating the bad guys, just arguing while we do it," Huntress replied punching a guy in the face and throwing him into the wall.
"Stop showing off Huntress, and do your job!"
"I am Oracle, you do yours!"
"Where the hell am I?" Reese asked as he awoke.
"Duck!" Huntress shouted.
"Huh?"
"Duck!" Huntress shouted again and he did just as a chair came flying at him. "Well, don't just sit there! Get up and help!"
Reese jumped up and began fighting along side them; soon they had beaten all ten of the guys and went after Jack. Huntress went after him as he tried to escape, she refused to let him go, he kidnapped her father. She pulled him down and they both started to fall to the cement floor; she caught a pipe before her body could slam against the ground floor, but you couldn't say the same thing about Jack. "Huntress!" Bruce shouted as he ran to make sure his daughter was alive. He spotted her hanging from the lead pipe, "Just like your mother, you both love giving me heart attacks." Huntress smiled and let go landing on her feet.
"We better get out of here," Oracle said as she looked over at Dinah, Bruce picked her up and they headed out.
"Wait, I'm on this case, I could lose my job!" Reese said stepping in front them.
"Not, our problem," Huntress replied pushing him out of the way.
"Huntress we have to talk!"
"Later." ~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:
Helena sat at a table in a coffee table a few blocks away from the police department; Reese walked in and made his way over to the table, "I'm surprised you call, seeing as I never gave you my number," Reese said taking the seat across from her.
"Yeah, well, I have friends in very high places," Helena replied taking a sip of her coffee.
"So, are we gonna talk about what happened?"
"Look, what happened, happened there's nothing we can do about it. That's the way it is. I was drunk, okay, I wasn't thinking straight." I'm lying, Helena thought to herself.
"Look, are we together or not? I mean, you like me, I like you, we work well together."
"Look, Reese I'm not ready to be serious with anyone right now. There's already enough stuff going on in my life and I just can't deal with that right now," Helena said as she got up from her seat, she grabbed her purse and was out the door; she got into Barbara's car and drove back to the clock tower, hopefully she made the right decision. ~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~() "Look, Helena we should talk, about everything," Bruce said as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"Yeah, we should," Helena said as she put down the tea.
"So, you should start."
"Why did you leave?"
"Well, you get right to the point." ~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$ Authors' Note: That's the end of the sequel don't worry there's a third one. Enjoy!!

"Okay, that's great."
"I think I might know a plan, but it's old."
"Let's hear it." ~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~*~~~~~~* "You captured the wrong hero! You idiot! You were supposed to capture Huntress!" Harley shouted stomping her feet. "I can't believe how badly you screwed up! I could just kill you!"
"But I captured Batman," Jack said trying his best to protect himself.
"He's not the pain in my ass!"
"I could capture this pain in your ass, if you'd like."
"You've already got me in enough trouble!"
"So, what do you want me to do with them?"
"Get rid of them, what else? And do it quickly!"
"Yes, do I still get my money?"
"Half, and only half. Get rid of them and make sure they can't pin it on me, understand?"
"Yes, I do."
"Good, hurry up." Harley exited as Dinah awoke from her unconscious state, she looked around, she was tied to a chair; just great, just great, I screw up once.okay so it was more than once, Dinah thought. She looked over her shoulder to find Reese tied to another chair; how am I going to get out of this mess? Dinah questioned herself. She remembered all the supplies she had in her coat; there was a knife, she got it out and began to cut her ropes. Reese was unconscious and there was no way she untie him, she made her way over to Bruce.
"Do I know you?" Bruce whispered.
"Dinah, Black Canary's daughter, I work with your daughter Helena, well Huntress and Barbara, Batgirl well actually Oracle, now," Dinah replied.
"No, fancy nickname?"
"No, not yet."
"So, what's the plan?"
"Wait for Huntress and Oracle."
"That's a good plan."
"Yeah, I figured you'd say that."
"What about the detective?"
"Oh, Huntress's boyfriend, she'll save him." ~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~~~^ "Okay, this is the final plan, Huntress, if anyone screws this one up, it's all over. We're all dead, there's no other plan," Oracle said looking up at Helena.
"Like I need more pressure, Oracle," Huntress replied as she placed Barbara's wheel chair on the ground. "Ready?"
"Yeah, don't drop me."
"I don't."
"One word Huntress: Dinah."
"It was an accident."
"No it wasn't!" Dinah chimed in.
"Dinah?" they said together.
"No, Santa. Yes, Dinah. I got Bruce untied and myself."
"What about Reese?" Oracle asked.
"Well, he's unconscious at the moment."
"Okay, me and Huntress are making our way in, where's Jack?"
"Jack?"
"Big bad."
"Oh, he's figuring out a way to get rid of us."
"How nice, he's putting effort into it," Huntress replied helping Oracle down. Oracle got into her wheelchair and they made their way to the ground floor of the warehouse, "Ready?" Huntress asked as she looked over at Barbara.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Oracle replied.
"1."
"2."
"3," they both said. Oracle was already on the ground floor but Huntress was making her way across the pipelines. She positioned herself a few feet away from Jack, and then she dropped down behind him. "I hear you were looking for me," Huntress said putting her hand on her hips. Jack turned around and narrowed his eyes, "You!"
"The name is Huntress, remember it," Huntress replied as she stood her ground.
"You cost me a lot of money."
"Oh, did I? That's great!" He came at her; she kicked him in the stomach sending him flying backwards into the desks. "Did that hurt?" Huntress asked, a sly smirk on her face. She ran towards Batman and Dinah, "Go with Barbara right now, go!" Huntress said as she rushed them towards Barbara. She made her way over to Reese, but Jack got in her way.
"And where do you think you're going?" Jack asked standing in front of her.
"I don't know, not here?" Huntress replied as she moved away from him.
"Running, are you?"
"No, just moving out of the way."
"Really, is that so?"
"Is this twenty-one questions or something?"
"Well, we could of course. Question one, what's your name?"
"Huntress, what's yours?"
"Jack, how old are you?"
"Twenty-something. You?"
"Enough of this silly game!"
"But I was having so much fun."
"This isn't about fun, it's about killing."
"Oh, really, that's cool! But this, this is painful," Huntress replied kicking Jack in the face, while doing a back flip. She landed on her feet with little effort, Bruce made his way over to Reese and untied him, he slung him over his shoulder and they headed for the front door.
"And where are you five going?" the man who stood in front of the front door asked.
"Um.Oracle, don't look now but we're in big trouble," Huntress whispered over here shoulder.
"You don't say, Huntress," Oracle replied as she turned her wheel chair around; they were surrounded by ten guys. "Okay, you and Bruce take the five on the right and Dinah and I will take the five on the left," Oracle whispered over her shoulder.
"What about Reese?" Huntress whispered back.
"Um.we'll just have to protect him, alright, as best as we can. Understand everyone?"
"Yes," they all replied.
"Ready.set.go!" Oracle shouted as Bruce laid Reese body in the middle of the four of them.
"You cover my back I cover yours," Bruce whispered as he and Huntress went into fighting stance.
"Deal," Huntress replied kicking one of the guys in the crock.
"I feel sorry for him."
"I don't."
"And that's where your mother's genes kick in."
"Yeah, so I've heard."
"And what's this thing I heard about you and the detective?" Bruce asked as they continued to fight.
"It's a professional relationship."
"That's the same thing I said about me and your mother."
"So, what are you saying?"
"It's not a professional relationship."
"Yes, it is."
"Yeah, and that's why you're so worried about him?"
"He's my partner."
"Huntress."
"Must we talk about this right now?" Huntress asked as she laid her back against Bruce's and her flipped her over and onto the guys in front of him, she landed directly in front of him; she punched him five times in the face, tripped him, then slammed her foot into him stomach sending flying into a wall. "Two down," Huntress replied as she moved onto the next guy.
"Must you be a show off?"
"Hey, I got that from you."
"Yeah, I know, but your not letting me show off."
"Sorry, it's not my fault I'm better."
"You aren't better than me."
"And yet I'm still kicking more ass than you."
"That's not the point."
"Sure."
"It's not."
"Yes it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"Yes, it is!"
"No, it's not!"
"Yes it is!!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!! Yes it is!!"
"Do you two mind! We are trying to beat the bad guys!" Oracle shouted at them.
"We are beating the bad guys, just arguing while we do it," Huntress replied punching a guy in the face and throwing him into the wall.
"Stop showing off Huntress, and do your job!"
"I am Oracle, you do yours!"
"Where the hell am I?" Reese asked as he awoke.
"Duck!" Huntress shouted.
"Huh?"
"Duck!" Huntress shouted again and he did just as a chair came flying at him. "Well, don't just sit there! Get up and help!"
Reese jumped up and began fighting along side them; soon they had beaten all ten of the guys and went after Jack. Huntress went after him as he tried to escape, she refused to let him go, he kidnapped her father. She pulled him down and they both started to fall to the cement floor; she caught a pipe before her body could slam against the ground floor, but you couldn't say the same thing about Jack. "Huntress!" Bruce shouted as he ran to make sure his daughter was alive. He spotted her hanging from the lead pipe, "Just like your mother, you both love giving me heart attacks." Huntress smiled and let go landing on her feet.
"We better get out of here," Oracle said as she looked over at Dinah, Bruce picked her up and they headed out.
"Wait, I'm on this case, I could lose my job!" Reese said stepping in front them.
"Not, our problem," Huntress replied pushing him out of the way.
"Huntress we have to talk!"
"Later." ~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:~~~~~~:
Helena sat at a table in a coffee table a few blocks away from the police department; Reese walked in and made his way over to the table, "I'm surprised you call, seeing as I never gave you my number," Reese said taking the seat across from her.
"Yeah, well, I have friends in very high places," Helena replied taking a sip of her coffee.
"So, are we gonna talk about what happened?"
"Look, what happened, happened there's nothing we can do about it. That's the way it is. I was drunk, okay, I wasn't thinking straight." I'm lying, Helena thought to herself.
"Look, are we together or not? I mean, you like me, I like you, we work well together."
"Look, Reese I'm not ready to be serious with anyone right now. There's already enough stuff going on in my life and I just can't deal with that right now," Helena said as she got up from her seat, she grabbed her purse and was out the door; she got into Barbara's car and drove back to the clock tower, hopefully she made the right decision. ~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~() "Look, Helena we should talk, about everything," Bruce said as he sat down next to her on the couch.
"Yeah, we should," Helena said as she put down the tea.
"So, you should start."
"Why did you leave?"
"Well, you get right to the point." ~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$~~~~~~$ Authors' Note: That's the end of the sequel don't worry there's a third one. Enjoy!!
