Silence reigned in the Clock Tower. Helena sat down at a table in the lab. She looked fixedly at the floor. Barbara put disinfectant on a cut on her right cheekbone. Helena closed one of her eyes when she felt the liquid. Barbara wheeled to the next table, took out some bandages, and came closer to Helena again.

"Raise your arm," she requested. The girl obeyed almost mechanically, lost in her thoughts. Barbara observed her while she wrapped the bandage around her forearm, on the cut one that Dinah had produced when she had thrown the desk at Helena. "We will find her." Barbara told her knowing that it was not a great comfort.

"I'm sorry. I screwed it Barbara""

"Don't worry, it was hard keeping that inside for so long"

"We failed her Barbara" Helena said in low voice.

Barbara gave a deep sighed and continued her work without saying word.

"We should have told her before." Helena continued. "Now is not time to think about whether we should have told her or not," Barbara responded adjusting the bandage. "The important thing now is that we have to find her. Finished, you can stand up," she told her taking off the gloves.

"Barbara even if we find her, she won't want to come back, she is very hurt."

"She will have to listen to us and Carolyn." Barbara threw the gloves in the garbage and she wheeled toward the laboratory.

"Carolyn, Carolyn!" Helena exclaimed getting off the table and following Barbara "Why do we have to protect her? It's her fault Dinah is suffering and it's her fault she hates us now!"

"And you should not have told her this. That was my responsibility!" At that moment Carolyn entered the laboratory over the opposed platform.

"Do you know how to knock?" Helena looked at her, irritated.

"Is this your house?" Carolyn raised her brow and she looked at her with irony.

"What are you doing here?" Helena sat down at one of the tables looking at her with fury.

"Barbara called me. You are hurt worse than she told me" she raised a brow with irony "Dinah is better, I believe that the genes speak."

"Excuse me?"

"Your mother always was a loser. I sent her to jail on several occasions, and so did Barbara. Isn't that right, Barbara?"

"That is the last time that you express in this way of my mother!" Helena got up pointing her index finger at Carolyn.

"Hey!" Barbara said stopping in the middle of both women. "We have to focus on finding Dinah."

"Why did you tell Dinah something that was my responsibility?" Carolyn faced Helena, not caring her that she was younger and taller.

"Why did you have to fake your death?" Helena shouted her. Barbara grabbed her wrist. "Why did you hurt Dinah more? Wasn't it enough breaking her heart and abandoning her when she was a child?"

"I remind you that I am her mother and you are no one to judge my actions!"

"Then you don't drag us into your problems! Now Dinah believes that we failed her!"

"We had a deal! You don't keep your word?" Carolyn crossed her arms looking hard at Huntress. "Oh, I forgot again, the daughters of criminals, inherit their bad habits."

"Enough!" Helena pulled her hand out of Barbara's tight grip. She stood a few inches from Carolyn's face. "What is your problem with my mother?"

"You can't think that I trust you knowing who Selina Kyle was."

"I know perfectly well who Selina Kyle was!"

"Do you know?" Carolyn glared her "Do you know how many robberies she made? How many times she broke the law?"

"Carolyn!" Barbara raised her voice "Stop!"

"Why? I think that it is time that she knows how many times Catwoman was caught stealing, how many times her father tried to stop her. It is time that she knows how many people she hurt in her criminal career or if she killed."

"My mother didn't kill anybody!" Huntress screamed pushing her with her hands, her eyes changing. Barbara tried to hold her.

"How do you know? How can you know? How do you know that it wasn't hid from you?"

Blinded by anger, Huntress threw a blow at Black Canary. She stopped her fist with her hand. "Do you see Helena?" she said. "You lose the control as easily as she did. It is genetic thing and you, sooner or later will be like her."

"I hope be like her some day." Helena grunted rabidly.

"Barbara is wasting her time with you. I don't want you near my daughter." Carolyn twisted Helena's hand down. The girl groaned.

"Leave her Carolyn!" Barbara exclaimed. Helena gave a bell turn surprising Carolyn and when she landed on her feet. She pushed her with a kick in her chest. She fell against one of the tables outside the platform. Helena gave a jump and arrived next to her when she got up. They began to fight, rushing strong blows, but they were not able to connect any. Her reflexes were very good and exact.

Barbara followed them with her concerned look. "Stop!" she screamed "Carolyn, Helena! Stop!"

With her forearm, Helena stopped Carolyn's blow. "You will take that back," she grunted.

"Why ask forgiveness from someone who doesn't deserve it?"

This time Huntress's fist hit Carolyn's face. Carolyn reacted quickly and she landed a blow in Helena's stomach and kicked her in the face making her fall. Huntress shook her head and turned in time to stop another kick in the face. She grabbed Carolyn's foot and turned it making her fall. Huntress jumped over her, grabbing her neck with her hands. "Say you're sorry"

"Why?" Carolyn held her wrist with her hands. "You fight against crime! I fight against it too!! You know what a cat burglar is. Your mother was one! Why should I ask forgiveness for her?"

Carolyn put her legs between her and Helena and pushed her back against a pillar. Carolyn stood up and tried to punch her, but Helena avoided it and hit her in her face twice. Carolyn grabbed Helena by the waist to avoid being hit again and pushed her against a computer desk in the lab. They fell over the platform and the equipment crashed over them. The corner of the computer tower hit hard against Helena's forehead.

Carolyn stood up faster, Helena was stunned, bleeding deeply, she kneeled down putting her hands over the floor trying to stand up, she saw flashes of light in front her.

Barbara saw Carolyn raising her fit to hit Helena again. "No Carolyn!", Barbara wheeled in front of her protégé and Carolyn's punch landed on Barbara.

"Barbara!" Carolyn, scared, leaned over her, "I'm sorry!"

"Why didn't you stop when I asked it?" she said angrily, putting her hand to her eye.

Carolyn saw that Barbara had a small cut under her brow and was bleeding too. Carolyn looked at her hand. She had cut her with the ring in her hand. "Let me see it." she said.

"Damn, Carolyn!" Barbara pulled away from Carolyn's hands. "Helena isn't guilty of her mother's faults! Just like Dinah isn't guilty of all your faults! If you had problems with Selina, they were your problems!! Leave Helena alone! I don't want you to attack her again using her mother's past as an excuse! " Barbara touched her eye, "Damn, that hurts." she mumbled.

"But.." Carolyn blinked. "Helena, are you ok?" Barbara leaned down, trying to help her protégée. Barbara glared at Carolyn. "Is it part of the hero's code to turn your back on a fellow superhero? She was dazed and you tried to hit her! She isn't your enemy!"

"I'm sorry Barbara." Carolyn realized her mistake and tried to help her.

"No! Don't touch her!" Barbara said raising her hand. "Helena has been helping your daughter the whole time that you were lost, that you left Dinah alone. You have been so unfair to her."

Helena still dazed, put her hand on the arm of the chair to stand up. Barbara helped her. Helena looked angrily at Carolyn. Barbara could see the fury in her eyes and grabbed her arm.

"Stop. Go to the lab," she said.

"In a minute, just let me." Helena stood up glaring at Carolyn.

Barbara pulled her by the arm and locked her eyes on Helena's. "Helena, go to the lab now! The fight is over!" Barbara turned to Carolyn "And please Carolyn, go to the kitchen, I'll be there in a minute."

Huntress stood up on the platform and said without turning her head, "Maybe my mother was a thief, but she was able to give up her "job" for her daughter, for me. She loved me so much that she changed her whole life, tried to change and be better...and you who are a hero, you couldn't do that for your daughter..."

Carolyn was ashamed. She looked at Barbara in silence, and walked to the kitchen
