Dinah was in the middle of her room, she had her arms extended and her eyes
closed, she tried hard to concentrate on lifting two objects located on
opposite sides of the room, a vase and a heavy dictionary.
Barbara stopped in front of the door when she saw Dinah in that curious position, she observed her for several minutes. Dinah felt frustrated because she wasn't able to achieve her objective. She lowered her head, trying to make the objects lift off of the ground.
Helena, walking into the hallway carrying a broom in one hand and a bag filled with the sawdust she had dispersed earlier, stopped when she saw Barbara in front of the door. It wasn't normal to see Barbara snooping like this. Barbara grabbed Huntress' arm and pointed towards Dinah. The blond girl began to sweat. Helena looked down, as she touched Barbara's shoulder. The redheaded looked up, Helena pointed at Dinah's feet. Dinah was floating a few inches off the floor.
"Oh my God!" Barbara exclaimed. Dinah got scared and broke her concentration, she felt the air between her body and the floor as she landed with a thud.
"Just for the record, that wasn't me." Helena said as she turned around and continued her way towards the kitchen to throw away the plastic bag. Barbara wheeled into the room.
"I'm sorry Dinah." Barbara said.
"Not a problem, I only lost my balance." Dinah said as she dusted off her pants. "I tried to lift two objects at the same time,but it's difficult."
"Dinah. didn't you realize.what just happened?" Barbara smiled.
"Realize what?"
"Dinah you weren't lifting the objects, you were lifting yourself." Barbara took her hand and she looked at her with a smile.
"Your joking right?" was Dinah surprised at what Barbara had just told her.
"No, you were off the ground a couple of inches, that's the reason you fell, because of my voice you broke your concentration."
Dinah didn't know what to say as she sat down on her bed. "Uh. seriously?" she smiled as she put a lock of her hair back behind her ear.
"You surprise me. Every day you show me things. You have great potential. I have to make a couple of adjustments on your training plan."
"Adjustments?"
"Yes, we need to develop you to your capacity." Barbara couldn't hide her emotion, "I'm going to make a plan that I'll show to you later." Barbara wheeled around and left the room, squishing Helena against the wall as she wheeled excitedly towards the computer lab, self-absorbed in her own thoughts. Helena leaned into the room. Dinah was still sitting on her bed, barely believing what had just happened.
"Are you okay, kid?" Helena asked.
"Did I really do that?" Dinah looked at Helena with a little bit of fear edged on her features.
"Yes."
"What does that mean?"
"More working, less time for fun." Helena raised her brow "That's what I do. It's fun sometimes, but mostly boring. You need some distraction." She handed Dinah a broom "help me clean the gym before we go out on sweeps."
Dinah stood up and she smiled. "Did you break another bag?"
"It was a small accident, bad quality of the punching bag." Huntress responded with an amused grin on her face. "Come on!" The girls laughed as they headed towards the gym.

"Everything is a rumor Huntress." Gibson said, taking a sip of his soda in the bar. No Man's Land was full, the noise and the music reigned in the place. Huntress felt a little disappointed when she heard his answer.
"Ok, I need to go, if you know something please tell me." She put her hands in her pockets.
"Don't you want to drink something?"
"Sorry" she smiled "I don't drink when at work. and I need to go back, Dinah is waiting for me near here."
Huntress left No Man's Land, she turned the corner and walked into a dark alley while her mind lost in her own thoughts. She felt a presence, she stopped, her eyes changed and turned quickly to her right. Reese was under the mark of a door.
"Don't do that again!" she said angrily, "I can hurt you, what are you doing here?"
"I want to talk with you, I want to see you." he said walking toward her.
"Well, you already talked with me and you saw me, nite."
"Huntress!" Reese took her arm
"Don't touch me" Huntress glared him.
"I have been looking for you, you are avoiding me, we need talk." He mumbled.
"Well, about what do you want to talk about?" Huntress asked with cynicism "that your father escaped from prison and that you didn't tell me in time because you don't trust in me? That a hoodlum was hired to trap me? . or maybe about how Bane beat me? How he kicked me until he got tired?" Huntress's became moist and raised the voice "Or better about the days that I remained in bed and the nights that I couldn't sleep because of the pain? About what do you want to talk to me about? Damn!" Huntress exploded.
"I wanted to be with you and you didn't let me! How do you think I felt knowing that you were hurt and knowing that I couldn't see you? I wanted to apologize! Sorry! I never imagined that he would be able to hurt you!" Reese exclaimed trying to touch her again.
".As you never will imagine that you can trust in me." Huntress stepped back to avoid him. "You know many secrets, secrets that you know many people will pay to know it to kill us. I trusted you with my life! You should have told me!"
"Helena, excuse me, he is my father, my love for him blinded me, I couldn't believe that he would be capable."
"Don't you understand Reese?" Huntress looked him with sadness "That isn't the point, the point is that you don't believe enough in me. and it hurt me, How many things more did you hide from me?"
"I'm sorry Helena, I can't tell you more, I'm not hiding anything from you, you are right, I simply thought that I would capture him before you knew it, I didn't want you to worry. It was a mistake."
Huntress didn't know what to say, her feelings were opposing. Suddenly she perceived something again. Before she was able to react, she felt a light blow to her thigh. "What.?" she saw a dart buried deep in her thigh, she knew immediately that she was in trouble, she looked back. From the shadows appeared one of Hawke's right hand men, behind him two men with weapons.
"What are you doing here?" Reese asked surprised.
"Don't worry, like you requested I didn't hurt her, it is only a tranquilizer." He raised a dart gun.
Huntress looked at Reese confused, she felt a heaviness in her body.
"You didn't tell Huntress, Reese? Hawke and Reese have been talking by phone" he smiled at Huntress "Reese asked his father that you wouldn't get hurt, true Reese?"
Reese was not able to answer.
"You lied again!" Huntress pushed him stepping back unsteadily, the drug began to affect her.
"Huntress." Reese tried to come closer, but Helena agilely took impulse and she jumped toward the roof of a nearby building. She had to leave as soon as possible.
"You are a son of.!" Reese furiously hit him in the jaw, and he began to fight with the other two men.
Huntress fell over the rooftop and she rolled over the floor, she felt dazed. It took her some seconds before she got up, she looked at the neighboring roof, she doubted a moment, her vision was a blur, would she be able to reach it?. She heard a noise behind her, in front of her were two more men, it was a trap.
"Dinah, I..." she try to call her friend by the mic but was difficult move her tongue.
::Huntress are you ok?:: Dinah said.
The men surrounded her, she realized that they didn't want to fight her, just buy some time for the drug to take effect. "Co..me..." she said with a big effort to Dinah.
* * *
"Oracle where is she? Something happens to her!" Dinah was four blocks away, but she didn't know where was she.
::I'm looking for her, give me a second.::
* * *
Huntress went back wobbly, her vision become blurry, with each second she felt worse. One of the men grabbed her by the arm, she punched him in the face, the second one the second one grabbed her so tight she couldn't move.
