When Dinah arrived home from school, Barbara wasn't at the Delphi. She scanned the room for any sign of her friends. She saw Helena sitting on the upper floor, distracted ly watching the TV with her feet on the table. She ran upstairs. She threw her bag on the table and sat next to her.

"What are you watching?" she asked, smiling.

Helena didn't want to see Dinah. She felt uncomfortable. She gave her the control and stood up.

"Nice as usual." the blond girl said.

"I'm not in a good mood, Dinah." Helena took her coat and put it on.

"What happened?" Dinah asked.

"Nothing. I'm just not in a good mood." The brunnette walked to the elevator.

"Problems with Barbara?"

Helena didn't answer. She walked into the elevator and left the Clock Tower. Dinah felt frustrated. She always tried to be friendly with Helena, but the brunette always avoided her. She still saw her just like a kid, not like a friend. She turned off the TV and went to her room.

Helena walked down the street. It was still early. The blonde wasn't guilty of her mother faults. Knowing that her mother pretended be dead would hurt her so much, but at least she was alive. Carolyn didn't like her. She was so arrogant. She would take Dinah with her and leave the city, and in someway it upset her.

The girl was a little annoying sometimes. Well, not much. The problem was that she had been accustomed to being alone and having a partner suddenly was a big difference. Sometimes she was so rude to the blonde. That wasn't right but... but, well, she really didn't have an excuse for that. Dinah was the opposite of her, friendly, sweet, patient. She liked the 'techno Babs' things and tried to learn it. She sighed deeply. If Dinah left, she hated to admit it, but she would miss her so much. And it annoyed her.

Dinah finished her homework and went out of her room. Barbara was sitting at the Delphi. She walked downstairs and sat next to her.

"I didn't hear you when you came in, and you didn't say 'Hi'." she said.

"Sorry, I have been busy trying to find a connection with the murders. How was your day at school?"

"Ok. May I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Did you talk to Helena?"

"No. Why?"

"She looked mad, and was angry. I tried just to talk with her but she left," Dinah explained. "I thought that you two had a problem."

"No, really. Maybe she is mad because Leonard scolded her yesterday night. She was late to work. And you know, Leonard is tough." Barbara responded and smiled. "Don't worry, you know Helena."

"Yes, I know her, she always looks at me like I'm just a kid."

"Dinah.." Barbara turned to her. "Try to understand her.."

"Yes, I always need try to understand her but she never tries to understand me." Dinah stood up and walked again to her room. Barbara didn't know what to say. She took a deep breath and returned to wok on the computer.

A week later, at night, Barbara was on the Delphi's monitor, Helena and Dinah behind her. She was showing the last pictures of the recent murders. Dinah noticed Helena was not paying attention. When Barbara finished explainin to them her point of view, Helena still had a lost look, thinking about where Black Canary was and why she wouldn't talk with Dinah.

"Understand Helena?" Barbara asked.

".Uh? What?" the girl mumbled.

"Did you understand?"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something else. what?"

"Helena, wake up!" Barbara shook her head. "Go patrol with Dinah. She will explain it to you on the way."

Huntress looked outside, the rain fell like a deluge in New Gotham. "But." she said.

Barbara worked on the computer without looking at her.

"Is she talking seriously?" Helena asked Dinah in low voice.

"Yep." Dinah nodded.

Helena grumbled and walked to the window to see better the rain. Dinah smiled at Barbara.

"She really thinks that we are going to patrol tonight . what happened if she really goes outside?"

"Let her get wet. She needs to pay attention when we are working." Barbara continued typing in the keyboard.

"My boots will be ruined!" Helena exclaimed.

"I told you many times not to bring expensive clothes to work." Barbara said printing a picture.

Helena walked towards Dinah. "The sky is falling outside. Where are we going to go?"

"To patrol, as usual," Dinah smirked.

"It's not true," Barbara smiled." I was saying that I need samples of blood and skin the next time you find a body. I need you two to bring it to me. All this is very strange." Barbara wheeled her chair to her. "But you weren't listening to me."

"Oh."

The Delphi alert turned on. The women turned their faces to the screen.

"Murder. New Gotham Park. Oh, God. two people." Barbara said.

Dinah touched Helena's shoulder. "Now isn't a joke, we need go."

"Yea, I know." * * *

From an upper building both girls looked down. The police were checking the bodies. Huntress and Dinah felt the drops pouing over their faces. The brunnette held up the camera to show Oracle the scene of the murder.

::A zoom. to their faces please..:: Oracle asked.

"How are we going to get the samples of blood and skin?" Dinah wiped her face.

"We need ask for it from Reese. get it Oracle?"

::Yes, it's okay. Now ask for the samples.::

"Ok, let's go Dinah."

Reese walked to his car. He wasn't surprised when he saw Huntress and Dinah waiting for him there. He smiled.

"Nice night, isn't it?" he said opening his arms and looking at the sky.

"Yeah. really nice." Dinah looked up too.

Reese hugged Huntress strongly.

"Hey!" she exclaimed. "I'm wet!"

"Just tell me what thing is dry.." He kissed her on the mouth.

"Points to him." Dinah smiled.

"Huntress, I'll be out of town for a few days. I leave tomorrow."

"Your job?"

"Right. I'll back next week."

"Ok, call me when you get back. Reese, who was it tonight?"

"Two burglars, I have been looking for them. It's the same, drained, skin gray."

"We need samples of the men's skin and blood. Could you get it to us?" Huntress raised a plastic bag.

"Yes, give me a moment." Reese took the bag and walked to the murder scene.

"Huntress, do you think it will be a meta?" Dinah asked. "Well. I imagined that, but. why is he doing it? It doesn't make sense."

"He eats people?..."

Huntress turned her face to her. "What?"

"He or she is eating people. Right?"

::Sounds logical.:: Barbara said. ::I will search in the files. Wait for the samples and come back.::

"Why don't send us a boat? We will get there faster." Huntress frowned.

"I agree." said Dinah cleaning her face.

::Sorry. need a lifesaver?::

"Very funny."

Many days later, Helena was pacing around the Clock Tower as Barbara worked at the computers. "Why didn't she just come here?" she asked. "Why didn't she tell Dinah that she was still alive?"

"She's waiting for the best moment."

".To hurt her."

"Helena." Barbara sighed deeply as she typed on the keyboard

"What do you expect she's going to do?" Helena asked continuing to pace.

"This concerns Carolyn and Dinah, we shouldn't interfere."

"Why not? Dinah is with us, she lives with us."

Barbara turned her head and smiled. "With US?"

Helena stopped and said hesitantly as she moved her hands nervously, "Well. no, yes. well she is here right? Maybe I don't sleep here, but. I'm here and. I'm here for dinner, and. and we patrol together."

"Ah, I see, very clear."

"You need to talk with her."

"Talk with who?"

"With Canary, she needs to talk with Dinah. We can't hide this from her anymore!"

"Helena, this is really complicated. Dinah would be shattered. I don't want her to suffer more. This is going to be hard for her. It's better that she face her mother and talk with her, and Canary is looking for the best moment to avoid hurting her any more. This isn't going to be easy for her."

"But we are in the middle!!" Helena continued to pace.

"We gave her our word, so she will appear soon, stay calm." Barbara pointed out to her.

"I can't even look at Dinah! Every time I do, I feel guilty."

"This isn't easy for me either, but Carolyn created this lie and is her responsibility to fix it. We'll only make things worse if we interfere. If we talk, Dinah is going to ask many questions, questions that you and I couldn't answer because we aren't in Carolyn's mind."

"I hate this. I never trusted her. Every time she appears, we have problems."

Barbara turned again to her desk and continued typing.

"How could you two be friends? You are so different." Helena asked.

"She is a good person," Barbara responded distractedly.

"Are you joking?"

"No, I'm not."

"But she loves lying and giving us problems."

"We don't have problems.." Barbara began to get impatient.

"No? Are you sure?? What is going to happen when she finds out the truth?"

"We are going to be there to support her."

"I'm not talking about that!" Helena exclaimed. "And you know it!"

"Helena, please, calm down! We have to wait. We can't interfere in Dinah's life."

"What are you going to wait about? Why can't you interfere in my life?" Dinah stepped out of the elevator.
