StarWars-Freak: What did dhe mean by 'this is helena's house, not mine'? I'm all confusuled. Other than that i love it!

In the chapter V, if you remember at the beginning: ****************************

"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.

Thanks for all your comments, I enjoy as you writing this..

*****************************

"Gabby"

The blond girl walked in the school corridors and stopped frownered when she recognized the voice. She turned her head. "Hi miss Gordon" she smiled to the redhair.

"Hi Gabby. How are you?"

"Great. great. " Gabby was nervous.

"Have you seen Dinah?"

"Today? No, no. I thought she was sick, I was thinking of calling her after school."

Barbara glared at her and raised her brow, she knew that the girl was lying. "Are you sure?"

"Did something happen? Is she ok?"

"Yes, she is ok, she is just. mad." she moved her fingers nervously. "Gabby, you are her only friend, I know that she has looked for or will look for you, I really need to talk with her, if you see her, please, tell her."

"Okay miss Gordon." Gabby nodded and entered to her classroom. Barbara pressed her lips. She was sure that Dinah and Gabby had talked, but she couldn't force the teen to tell her the truth. She wheeled to the cafeteria.

Helena sat on the gym floor, with a towel around her neck, she had her arms resting on her knees. She had an itch in her forehead. Barbara was at school and Carolyn was outside. Alfred walked by and stopped in the doorway, she hadn't moved since she had been there. She hadn't touched the punching bag, and knowing her, that meant that something was wrong. He walked inside and stood next to her.

"Bad day miss Helena?"

".Worse than that."

"Miss Dinah will come back, she just needs time."

"Maybe. but that won't make her forget that we lied to her, that we failed her."

"But it was for a good reason."

"Which good reason? Carolyn fooled us."

"Yes, but she was looking for a way to not cause Miss Dinah more pain."

"But we couldn't. she is really pissed."

"Miss Helena, may ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"What bothers more to you? Miss Dinah's problem or the presence of Miss Carolyn?

Helene kept silent; she didn't know what to say.

"Think about that, maybe it will help you figure out what to do." Alfred walked out of the training room.

Helena stood up and walked to the punching bag, she hit it hard. "I don't know... " she walked around the bag and kicked it harder "I don't know!" she shouted.

Helena began to beat it. She hated Carolyn's attitude and her constant attacks on her mother, on herself, it was always the same. She punched the bag several times, the chains began to move. She gave it another violent kick and began to walk in circles.

She stood up, she needed to accept that deep down, she was most concerned because Dinah wasn't there. She had Dinah's look in her mind when she told her that Carolyn was alive; that look full of pain, sadness and reproach to her. She had disappointed her.

"Helena?"

"What?" she answered in a loud and angry voice.

"Hey, easy, What happened?"

Helena saw Barbara wheeling inside. "Nothing." She took a deep breath and put her hands on her waist.

"I know your "nothing's" Come on, what's wrong? Is it Carolyn? I've already talked with her, I told you that."

"Maybe it's not Carolyn, maybe it's everything. Carolyn, my mom, Dinah.I disappointed her."

"Ah. I see, you are worried about that, about Dinah not talking to you again or looking at you like she used to do."

"Uh?" Helena looked her, confused.

"You are her hero. she made the decision to be a hero because she admires you, and suddenly you fell, does that worry you?"

"Of course not!!..." Helena hesitated a moment ".She admires me?"

"Come on, don't tell me that you didn't know. you are her idol." Barbara said.

"Yeah, I'm a brave idol."

"Don't be so hard on yourself Helena. We need to work hard to bring her back, come on, let's go get lunch, Alfred prepared a great meal."

"Another strange meal? No thanks, I'll order a pizza." "Don't worry, I asked for something traditional: hamburgers and French fries."

* * *

"I'm sure she is with her." Barbara said putting a piece of meat in her mouth. She and Helena were at the kitchen eating at noon.

"So why we don't go?" Helena asked.

"Because Carolyn needs to do that. Stay calm, everything is going to be ok. Okay?"

"Bu.."

"Okay?" Barbara said in firm voice.

Carolyn entered at that moment into the kitchen, Helena couldn't hide her annoyance, and lowered her face to her meal.

"Good afternoon Miss Carolyn. want to eat something?" Alfred smiled at the visitor.

"Yes, please Alfred.." Carolyn sat at the table and looked at Barbara "So. did you find her?"

"Yes, as I told you, I'm sure she is at Gabby's house. She is avoiding us. It's not going to be easy to talk with her."

"I know, but all this is my fault" Carolyn said and looked at Helena's forehead, the girl was playing with her food "and I need to fix it". Alfred served her the meal. She smiled at him thankfully.

"She is suffering. you need to do it soon." Barbara raised her brow.

"Yes, I think. tomorrow, I need think what to say. what to do."

"Bon apetit "Helena cleaned her mouth and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Barbara asked. "You did't finish yet."

"I have things to do." Helena left the kitchen and entered the elevator. Carolyn and Barbara kept silent.

"I need apologize to her." Carolyn said finally.

"I think that too."

"She is. difficult, so rebellious. how did you manage her?

"Inside, Helena is sweet, fragile. she doesn't like to show her emotions, that the people see her. after her mother died, she closed her world to everybody, for me was to hard enter. still sometimes it's hard to know what she is thinking or feeling. It's like a fortress. She is still mad because of her mother's murder, because her father is Batman. And tries to avoid feeling pain again."

"She didn't know it?"

"No, she knew it after her mother death, was too hard for her to know that secret. She spent many days in her room with out seeing anyone, she didn't want to listen to me or obey, was angry with life. I changed it with love. just with that, but it was really very hard work." Barbara smiled slightly remembering old times.

"Excuse me for interrupting" Alfred served the next plate "But Miss Barbara did an excellent job. She rescued Miss Helena by herself."

"And she rescued me in some ways too." Barbara added.

* * * Dinah got off the bus and walked toward Gabby's house, about two blocks away. She had been preparing all her things to move out of the city.

She turned a dark corner and heard a faint but familiar swirl of air behind her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked with out turning around, looking in her bag for Gabby's house keys.

"I want to talk to you," Huntress said.

"We don't have anything to talk about."

"Please Dinah." Huntress walked in front of her.

"Haven't you done enough?" Dinah raised her head to look at her. She noticed the stitches in Helena's forehead and a small bruise on her cheek. "What happened to you?"

"A street fight. Forget it. Dinah, we want you to come back."

"I don't want to come back. I don't want to see you. I told you that, don't you remember?" Dinah lowered her face "Sorry for other day. I didn't want to."

"No Dinah, forget it, it's ok."

"I almost killed you. I can't back, I don't trust in you and Barbara. I could kill you, I don't know how manage my powers. I am a damn freak"

"You aren't a freak, you are a great person, a great friend."

"I don't believe in you, sorry" Dinah started to walk again. "And I know that Barbara is listening to us now."

"No, I turned the mic off. Please" Huntress blocked the way and grabbed her wrist, "please give us the chance to talk. You are right. We should have told you that your mother was alive. But she didn't want you to know. She wanted to tell you herself. She was just waiting for the right time to do it."

"I have never hid anything from you, but the most of the time that I have tried to be near you, you have always avoided me. Why should I believe you now?" Dinah took Helena's hand and pulled it out

Huntress shook her head. "Dinah, is really difficult for me open up to people. I think you know that. You are so kind and so affectionate, but I can't be like you. Maybe I wasn't so gently with you, but. but I really appreciate you. you are a great friend"

Suddenly a woman ran toward them screaming. Huntress caught her by the arms.

"Please, help, somebody is hurting my husband!" she said.

"Where?"

"Down the street in an alley, four or five blocks from here.."

"Ok, calm down, we will go there. Call the police. There is a phone." Huntress pointed to the corner.

"We?" Dinah said sarcastically "Are you joking?"

"Come on, someone needs us."

"Go by yourself. I quit." Dinah turned and walked to Gabby's house.

Huntress hesitated a moment, pressed her lips together, and ran to where the woman had said.
