The next day Dinah was keeping company to Helena, they were at Barbara's
bedroom watching TV, while Barbara and Carolyn were at the kitchen
preparing the meal and talking. Dinah felt happy, the conversation last
night with her mother opened both a new opportunity to know each other. She
had her mother again.
Helena felt better, she was still so weak and tired but she was at home. She had sleep almost 14 hours, something unusual in her, and she was sure she would sleep 15 hours more with out problem. She never had enjoyed the soft bed so much.
Helena was distracted laughing lightly watching "The Nanny", Dinah took the control and changed the channel.
"Dinah don't change the channel!" Helena protested.
"That was an old TV show!" the blond girl said moving her arm to avoid that Helena took the remote control that she had in her hand.
"Give me that!"
"Helena, really you like to watch it?"
"Dinah I don't want to watch the History Channel or A&E on Sunday morning! I want to see something funny, not a biography about people or a castle!"
"It is my turn to choose the channel!" Dinah jumped off the bed when Helena tried to grab her.
"I'm the convalescent here!" Helena shouted trying to stand up, but it was yet a little difficult for her.
"Don't do that! "Dinah warned pointing at her with her index finger "Barbara would be annoy if she saw you standing."
"Barbara isn't here boring and I'm just watching TV:" Helena kneeled over the mattress.
"No, don't, don't stand up, I'll call her, do it and I call her!"
With out warning, Helena jumped and fell over Dinah surprising her, they fell to the floor and they start to laugh loudly.
"Helena let me go!" Dinah said holding the remote control in her hands, while Helena tried to take it. "You are not okay yet, Barbara would kill us If she sees you out of the bed!"
"Don't use your powers, Barbara said no powers here!"
"I don't not need powers to win against you!" Dinah laughed and both rolled over the floor still laughing. Until they felt tired and rested on the floor.
"Oh my! My stomach hurts" Helena chuckled.
"It hurts me too, but I win!" Dinah chuckled.
"What's going on here?" they heard Barbara's voice. "Helena! Dinah!"
"Problem." Helena giggled.
"Yeah, and a big one" Dinah smiled rolling over and looking up.
"Dinah it's suppose that you are taking care of her!." Barbara wheeled inside the room. "She needs rest!"
"Sorry Barbara" Dinah snorted "I'll put her back into bed again."
"I hope so, do it soon, we are going to have breakfast in 15 minutes, I'll see you two there. " Barbara said angry and closed the door.
"Damn! I told you that she would be annoy"
"Its all your fault, don't look at me." Helena smiled and rolled, she put her elbows over the floor "Wow." she said "I'm. dizzy. I can't get back up to the bed. you need to help me."
"Okay, hurry up before she comes back." Dinah stood up and took Helena's arm to help her to stand up. "My God! What do you eat?" Dinah asked.
Helena moved her hand fast and took the remote control. "Is mine!" She shouted.
"Give it to me!" Dinah tried to take it again and they fell to the floor again laughing.
Outside the room Barbara couldn't avoid laughing to her self as well.

"What happened?" Carolyn asked when she saw Barbara entering the kitchen with a big smile; she was sitting in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee at the table.
"Those two are two kids. I guess Helena is in a good mood and she is feeling better, she is playing with Dinah. and its not common that she plays with her." Barbara took a glass of orange juice "how do you feel after rescuing. the daughter of one of your worst enemies twice?"
"You needed to ask that?" Carolyn raised her brown.
"I really appreciate all the things that you did for her." Barbara said.
"No, you opened my eyes, and she did too. she isn't guilty of my and her mother problems. Maybe we don't like each other but. I need to admit that she is brave and a great girl, Dinah loves her so much and you too. All of you have done so much for Dinah."
"I hope you two some day would know each other as well ." Barbara took a breath "Did you tell her about her father?"
"Yes. If I want earn her trust, I need to begin to tell her the truth of my life."
"How did she take it?"
"Well, she it was a surprise for her." Carolyn put the dishes on the table. "But. it's okay, she took it well. We need to talk more about him, It's hard to try answer all her questions in just one night."
"And." Barbara was afraid to ask "What are you going to do? Are you going to stay? Are you going to go with Dinah?"
Carolyn smiled reading the concern on Barbara's face. "I'm happy, I could recover my daughter, but she needs to live her own life, and I have my own life. You are doing a great job training her and I want you to finish your work. We will be in contact and she could go to see me and vice versa. I have been talking with Dinah, I had been discovering her, she is marvelous, and we have many things to tell each other, but the most important is that now we are friends, a big step no? I want to ask you. would you take care of her, please?"
"Yes. Of course!" Barbara couldn't hide her happiness.
"She was happy when I told her that she could stay with you two." Carolyn explained "The next month when the classes in High school finish she can come to visit me for a few weeks."
"That sounds good!".
"I know she is in good hands with you." Carolyn touched her hand. "Thanks for taking care of her all this time."
"It's a pleasure. and its also a pleasure for me to see you two together once more."

That night, Helena was outside the Clock Tower, she sat on the border of the balcony, looking at the city lights, wondering and thinking to her self. The air moved her hair lightly. She loved the fresh air over her face. It was a way to breathe freedom, the freedom that she loved?
"How do you feel?" Barbara took her out of her thoughts wheeling next to her. "You look better."
"Yeah? I don't think so. But I'm okay."
"Still tired?"
"Just a little." Huntress moved slowly, she was aching all over. "Where are Dinah and Carolyn?"
"They went out to dinner, Carolyn leaves tomorrow."
"I'll see." Helena looked Barbara "She recovered her mother. Its good for her."
"Yes they have another opportunity." Barbara smiled.
"She isn't alone anymore."
"She wasn't. she had us."
"Yes..." Helena lowered her face "But it isn't the same."
Barbara kept silence. Huntress noticed what she had said to her, she hurt her mentor, she stood up immediately.
"Sorry Barbara, I didn't want to ." 3212163
"It's okay, it's okay." Barbara touched her arm "I understand what you meant to say, Helena, I lost my mom too when I was a child. Remember? No one can replace a mother."
"You are one to me." Helena kneeled in front of her.
"Don't said that Hel."
"I wanted to talk with you since last night. But we didn't have the opportunity. You gave me all your love and we weren't anything."
"Wait a minute." Barbara said. "Helena don't said that."
"You only were a friend of my mother, but a great friend. Just a great one who would take the responsibility and care of the teenager of a friend: a rebel, difficult and one very angry teen. Now I have been analyzing that and. its incredible all the great things that you have done for me. Anyone else would have sent me to an orphanage in my first tantrum or in my first mess."
Barbara didn't know what to say. Helena never had opened up to her before expressing her gratitude and feelings in this way.
"I still would be lost with out you." Helena said. "That's true."
"And possible me too." Barbara said.
"You? I don't think so. You knew very well your self."
"But. I was alone. and I didn't have illusions at that moment, my world was broken. you gave me an illusion, you kept me distracted. And in every which way!! You were terrible!." She laughed "I'm agree with that."
Helena laughed too. "I'm sorry Barbara, really, I was a pain in the ass for you."
"Yes, often, but. We helped each other in many ways, we are lucky." Barbara said.
"Yes we are." Helena stood up hesitant.
"Be careful.." Barbara said helping her.
"I'm okay." she sat on the balcony again. Both looked distract to the night. Helena turned her face to wards Barbara.
"Want to say something?" The red head asked.
".Barbara. " Helena opened her mouth but she couldn't speak.
"Is something wrong?"
".Forget it." She rested her back against the wall.
"Tell me, don't kept it. Please."
"I saw her." Helena looked her in the eyes afraid to see her reaction.
"You saw who?"
".My mother.".
".Your mother.?" Barbara blinked "are you talking about a. dream? .Or when you were delirious?"
"No, no. I saw her. A dream couldn't keep me alive and gave me strength. I couldn't call it a dream. I thought it was one but. the last time, when I was trapped there, I felt really alone and. I felt her touch, I hear her, it was her voice." she laughed "This Will sound stupid but when I was in the middle of that drool I could smell her hair, feel her arms around me. She was with me in the worst moment."
"Is not a stupid thing, the love of a mother would break walls, distances, and worlds. And be sure that she always has been with you, always."
"I felt her, I could feel her love for me. It. fills me."
"I'm glad to hear that, I'm glad for you." Barbara smiled seeing the emotion on Helena's face with the words and expression.
The brunette hesitated, and looked nervous at the floor. She still had a hard time letting her feelings out.
"Barbara?" she said.
"Tell me."
"May. may I hug you?" she looked at her almost afraid. She always was afraid to ask for affection, it broke her shell, and everybody could see her inside. .
"Never ask that." Barbara opened her arms, Helena stood up and hugged her strongly. She felt protected in Barbara's hug and rested her head in her shoulder.
Barbara caressed her hair; she smiled, it was like be hugging a big child, a lovely child hungry for warmth, her child. She hugged her with all her love, she was her protégée, her friend.
.her daughter.
