Deeper thoughts
Helena walked into her apartment; she looked around and soon wanted to leave. She remembered what the crawler had said, "he could smell the love on her." Helena looked in the mirror; she walked out of her apartment and into the bar. Was she starting to fall in love with Reese? Did she save Reese's life because she it was her duty or was it because she loved him and didn't want to see anything happen to him? The questions raced through her mind, she wanted the answers but every time she knew the answers she didn't want to admit to them... She didn't want them to be true, not now not ever...
Dinah walked into the kitchen to find Barbara seated at the table with a stack of papers in front of her.
"What are you doing Barbara?" Dinah asked looking at the paper in front of Barbara.
"Looking at the crawler case," Barbara replied.
"Oh. But why, we already solved it?"
"Yeah, I know but I'm trying to see what I missed. Why I didn't know that Nightstrike was the crawler?"
"No one knew not even Nightstrike, even the great Huntress missed it."
"Reese knew."
"No he didn't he just helped you find it out."
"I'm gonna contact Helena, I want her to help me."
Dinah followed Barbara as she wheeled herself into the lab.
"Barbara, come on Helena needs to rest she has work tomorrow," Dinah said to Barbara as she when after her.
Barbara let her head drop and when she looked up she had tears in her eyes; Dinah kneeled next to Barbara, "What's wrong Barbara?"
"I let her down," Barbara replied.
"Who?"
"Helena, I promised myself I'd take care of her after her mom died and I almost got Helena killed. I should have pay more attention to the case and not trusted Nightstrike so quickly."
"It wasn't your fault, you didn't know and neither did Helena or Reese. It was a simple mistake."
"A mistake that could have cost Helena's life!!"
"Barbara, even when he tied her up Helena still beats the crap out of him. She can take care of herself."
"No!! She can't!! She needs someone to protect her!! I don't want anything to happen to her!! And if anything does happen to her it will be my fault!!!" Barbara shouted as she wheeled herself into her room.
"Barbara!! Barbara!!" Dinah shouted after Barbara.
Dinah closed her eyes as she heard Barbara's door slam. Shit, I made her cry, Dinah thought. She went after Barbara but Alfred stopped her.
"Alfred, can you please move?" Dinah asked politely.
"Miss Dinah, let Miss Barbara relax. She'll come out when she is ready," Alfred replied.
"But, she is crying."
"Miss Dinah, she loves you and Miss Helena like her own children. She feels responsible for Miss Helena and you."
"But.I made her cry," Dinah said softly.
"No you didn't, Miss Dinah. Why don't you go find Miss Helena and talk to her."
"Tell Barbara where I am," Dinah said walking to the elevator.
"Yes, Miss Dinah," Alfred replied as the elevator doors closed.
Reese handed the DA the case file, "Jesse, you never called," the DA said as she took the file.
"No," Reese replied.
"Why not?"
"I have someone else who I can call," Reese said as he walked away from her, a smile on his face.
The DA was confused; she didn't understand what Reese was talking about, but she wasn't going to give up Reese that easily. Reese walked into his office to find a tiepin, with the same symbol that was on Helena's necklace, on his desk. He picked up the card that was beside it. The card read: First time the detective beat the hunter and the first time anyone beat me. You deserve a prize for you hard work. Huntress. He smiled, put the card in his pocket and put the tiepin on. He walked out of his office and out of the police station; he'd have to thank Helena for the gift. A gift he'd never give away. He walked out to his car and found Helena on the hood of his car, "This is the first time you didn't drop in from above or jump out of the shadows," Reese said as he walked up to her.
"Well, I wasn't in the mood," Helena replied.
"So, you decided to be a hood ornament?"
"No, just a bit tired of jumping from roof to roof, dropping down from up above and the whole jumping out of the shadows thing."
"What about kicking the crap out of the bad guys and evil meta-humans?"
"Oh, that, I could never get tired of that. It's so much fun."
"Why does that not surprise me."
"I never surprise you, detective. You're much too good for me to ever surprise you, Detective Reese."
Reese watched as Helena jumped off the hood of as he tried to find a response to her comment.
"I guess you like the tiepin," Helena said as she walked up to Reese.
"Yeah, I do," Reese said.
"Well, you helped solve the crawler case, you beat me at it. And I noticed you didn't have one."
"It's the same symbol as the one on your necklace."
"I know, I choose it."
"Really."
"I figure you could where it all the time, since you do where a tie when you're working."
"Any reason for the symbol?"
Helena looked around than back at him, "You want to know what triggered the crawler?" Helena asked.
"That would help the case."
"His trigger was.love. True love to be precise."
"That's the first time I've heard that. True love drove a man to kill," Reese shook his head.
"He almost got me," Helena said.
Reese looked up but she was already gone, he wasn't surprise.
"Consider yourself part of the New Gotham's crime fighting team," Helena said disappearing in the shadows.
Reese smiled to himself as he got into his car and drove off; Helena always seemed to surprise him, but something she said he really didn't know what to say to. She said, "he almost got me." Huntress said what triggered the crawler was true love, but who is she in love with, Reese asked himself. He had an idea but he wasn't sure if it was true or right.
Author's Note: I promise the next chapter will come soon.
