Huntress moved cautiously, she couldn't focus, her vision was blurring and she felt too dazed, but she knew her friends were in trouble. She rolled on her side with a great effort trying to stand up.

Black Canary tried to use her Cry but it was impossible, Parasite held her stronger and didn't let her breath.

"I'll kill you!" Parasite shouted to Canary. She took his hands trying to release the grip he had on her. As she did she groaned in pain.

Huntress kneeled putting her hands on the floor, her legs shivered, she fell once, but she tried again. She couldn't see well and followed his voice.

"First I'll kill you and later I'll kill your two friends" Parasite shouted "I don't have time for these games."

Huntress took impulse and hit Parasite in the head with all her strength using both hands. Parasite released Canary. Huntress fell to the floor exhausted, she felt like she was inside a dark whirlwind, her head was heavy.

"Stupid girl!" Parasite shouted furious at Huntress. Then, the brunette felt hands closing on her throat "You want to die first? Ok, so die!" he raised her and crashed her against some old kegs that fell over her.

Dinah shook her head, her mother moved restless on the ground. She saw Parasite walking toward Huntress, she lay under the old kegs unmoving. She ran and took the main cable off the container on the floor.

Parasite throw some old kegs searching for the brunette, she was unmoving over the floor. Huntress groaned when she felt a kick in her ribs. He kneeled next to her.

"Is was fun no?" he said leaning over her "But the game is over and your time is up. it will be a pleasure to finish with you.Good bye girl, give me your last breath of life." He smiled and held her wrists strongly, Huntress growled and her eyes rolled back.

Dinah put the tip of the main cable on Parasite's back. He screamed, and released Huntress; the system was draining him. Dinah held the cable stronger until he fell to the floor unconscious.

Canary stood up and walked to Dinah, the girl threw the cable away.

"Are you okay?" Dinah asked.

"Yes." Canary looked him "That was a great idea. Huntress!"

Both women walked toward the brunette. Canary examined her.

"He drained her again?" she asked to Dinah looking for her pulse.

"I think so, I knocked him out, but he touched her."

::How is she?:: Oracle asked through the mic trying to guess what was happening..

"Bad. very bad." Canary said worried as she checked Huntress' eyes, her look was lost, her pupils didn't react "That son of bitch. God, she saved me, she did a big effort when he attacked him. She shouldn't have done it. It tired her badly"

"But she did it." Dinah said.

::Bring her back immediately:: Oracle asked.

Canary swallowed "No, before we arrive to Clock Tower she will die. She is too weak, she couldn't resist."

"No, Huntress. Hold on." Dinah said almost crying and brushing her hair "I'm sorry Hel, I'm sorry for all the awful things that I said to you." Dinah looked her mother "She can't die! We won't let her, we need do something! Let's go to the Clock Tower!".

* * *

Oracle kept silence listening just to her friends voices and feeling useless to help her protégée. Alfred looked at her without saying a word, he felt too, a great anguish inside him.

"Use the scanner Carolyn." Oracle said. "Let me see if I can try something."

::Its not usefully.:: she said.

"Carolyn we need do something!"

* * *

Carolyn looked around. She put a Huntress' arm over her back and said to Dinah "I got an idea, help me raise her up." Dinah obeyed and did the same, they dragged Huntress near the computer. "Okay, I'll hold her." Canary said as she grabbed her by her armpits "Dinah, take her wrists and put her hands in the metal fingerprints."

"What?"

"Dinah, we don't have time! He drained her and stored her energy here. We saw him placing his hands here and he received her strength, maybe we can give her back some of it. Enough to normalize her system. She is almost dead!"

Dinah took her wrist and followed her mother instructions. She felt an electric shock and released Huntress hands. "This thing shocks!"

"I know, keep her in contact just for a few seconds, endure the pain."

Dinah did it, Huntress moaned when she felt the electricity, Dinah gritted her teeth, as she felt the electricity also.

"Hold on Dinah" shouted Canary. A few seconds later, the energy pushed them back hard. They fell to the floor. Huntress fell over Canary.

"Woa. that hurt." Dinah sat shaking her hands.

Carolyn looked at Huntress. The brunette rolled over and moved her head doing a strange sound with her throat.

"It work. it work." Black Canary leaned over the girl and took her chin with her hand. "Huntress, can you hear me?" Huntress half-opened her eyes. "Can you hear me?" Canary asked again, the girl nodded lightly.

Dinah looked surprised and happy.

"Hey girl, look at me" Canary said taking her pulse. Huntress looked at her still dazed "We brought her back." Carolyn smiled to Dinah.

::Thank God.:: Oracle answered smiling at Alfred. She took his hand.

"Ah, and call the police. Dinah, tie him to something."

Dinah looked for some rope. Huntress tried to talk but the breather didn't let her.

"Do you want me to take this off?" Black Canary asked Huntress, the girl nodded again.

"Would it be that we take her off of it?" Dinah asked.

"Now yes. her breathing is normal, and her pulse is too." Canary explained as she disabled the breather. She took it off.

"Ouh." Huntress sighed moving her jaw and tongue, the breather was annoying, part of the tube was inside her mouth, and after 3 days, it was a relief to take it out. "Thanks." she said, with a weak voice.

"Huntress how do you feel?" Dinah asked.

"Terrible." Huntress mumbled ".But I'm here."

"Why don't we put her hands on the machine again?" Dinah asked "She would recover faster."

"Touch. you touch it again. not me." Huntress said weakly "It hurts. Pass"

"No, that machine is dangerous" Canary explained "Is not designed for us."

".It was dangerous?" Dinah blinked. "She would die.?"

"Yes, but it was a risk that we had to take. I didn't have time to start a survey about what to do or not."

Dinah looked at her shocked.

"Nice as usual with me." Huntress joked lightly.

"I knew that you will understand" Black Canary smiled back. "You are brave girl, thanks for your help."

"Was. because. we still have a fight. remember?"

"Yes, I know. Come on, let's go home." Canary moved her head "Dinah, help me take her to the Hummer, she is still weak."
