Author's Note: This is the second part of Date with Destiny and I realized
that I forgot to write one part so the first part is when Helena went to go
see Dinah's teacher, it's hilarious. And the rest of this part is of course
Reese and Helena at the ball. Enjoy all my loyal reviews and those not so
loyal. Oh, and once again I changed the DA's name to Lynn, one of my loyal
reviewers who told me that. Thanks.

Date with Destiny part 2
"What the hell are you wearing?" Dinah asked when Helena finally arrived.
"Clothes just like you," Helena replied.
"Did you have to wear those clothes?"
"You said to wear decent clothes."
"I meant clothes that cover your whole body not half! God, I'm in so much trouble!"
"Are we going in or not?"
"Just don't do anything Barbara wouldn't do."
"Does that include threaten the teacher?"
"Don't do that, please."
"It could solve your problem."
"I'd like to do things the legal was, thank you."
"Fine we'll do it the hard way."
"Did you ever get into a fight when you went to high school?"
"A fight no. Many fights yes."
"Surprise, surprise."
"Isn't it though?"
"No, not really."
"So, how long is this meeting gonna be?"
"What do I look like? The information center."
"No, that would be Gibson."
"Can we go to No Man's Land after this?"
"No, you're grounded and where is this teacher's room anyways?"
"We're going to the principals office."
"Lead the way."
They walked the halls of New Gotham High, Helena looked around remembering when she use to attend school there. They entered the office and were told to sit down; Helena began to slouch in the chair and she was quickly getting restless. She looked over at Dinah, and then at the door waiting for someone to come in.
"You must be Mrs. Redmond," the principal said.
"No, I'm her sister Helena," Helena replied.
"So, where is her mother?"
Helena looked at Dinah and she nodded her head, "She died."
"And who is her legal guardian?"
"Barbara Gordon."
"Okay, and why isn't she here?"
"Because she had tutoring after school today."
"Oh, yes."
"Yeah, anything else?"
"No, that will be all for now."
"So, where's the teacher who is suppose to be here?"
"He'll be here soon."
"Good, I don't have all day."
"Good afternoon Miss Kyle," someone said.
"Mr. Irish was the teacher who stopped your fight?" Helena asked looking at Helena.
"Yeah, why?"
"He was the one who used to stop my fights."
"Good to see you again, Miss Kyle. I'm not surprised that someone under your care started a fight," Mr. Irish said sitting next in between Helena and Dinah.
"She didn't start it," Helena replied.
"Nonetheless she was involved in the fight and didn't do anything to stop it."
"It's the schools responsibility to keep the kids safe and you're not doing your job!"
"Miss Kyle I suggest you lower your voice."
"I don't have to and Dinah didn't do anything wrong! There is no reason for this meeting!"
"Miss Kyle, I'm sorry to inform you that Dinah will be punished for the fight."
"And the girl who started it better to."
"I believe Dinah started it and she shall be punished."
"Listen to me, she did nothing wrong, she was defending herself and that's not a crime."
"She cause a few physical injuries to the young lady in the fight."
"And she did the same to Dinah, so they're equal."
"Dinah cause more injuries to the girl that she did to Dinah."
"Just cuz Dinah's a better fighter doesn't mean she should be punished for it."
"I believe she should."
"That's what you think, not me."
"What I think means more than what you think."
"But what I think is the only thing that matters to me."
"I believe, Miss Kyle has a point and I believe Dinah shouldn't be punished for self defense, so I guess you can leave now. Dinah this won't goon your record but if this happens again it will, understand?" the principal said.
"Yes, sir," Dinah replied.
"Let's go see Barbara," Helena said and they left the room. **
"You know you could act more girlfriendish," Reese whispered.
Helena looked at Reese, a devilish smile played on her lips, "You mean like this?" Helena said as she leaned over and kissed him. "Or this?" she said kissing again but deeper. "Or maybe this?" she said letting her tongue slip in this time. She pulled away leaving Reese with his mouth wide open. When Reese was finally able to closed his mouth he said, "Either is fine, which ever one you want."
"Am I really that good?" she asked seductively.
"I never said that," he replied looking around.
"Sure what ever you say Detective."
"Jesse how are you?" a man asked as he walked over.
"Captain, Sir, how are you?" Reese replied as he stood up.
"And who is this vision of beauty next to you?"
"This is my girlfriend Barbara Ashley Scott."
"Well, how are you?" the captain asked 'Ashley'.
"Fine, and you, Sir?" 'Ashley' replied.
"Much better since I've seen you, miss."
"Please, do call me Ashley."
"Flirting are we, dear," his wife said as she walked over.
"This is my wife Sarah," the captain said.
"And I believe you've meet my husband, Frank."
"Yes, I have," 'Ashley' replied.
"And you are?"
"Barbara Ashley Scott, you can just call me Ashley."
"I believe I've seen you somewhere."
"Really? Where?"
"I'm not sure. Oh, wait now I remember, in the pictures that the commissioner Gordon showed me of his daughter and another young girl."
"Oh, is he here tonight?"
"I believe so, but I do believe he'll be leaving soon."
"Really, well thank you."
"You are very welcome."
They walked away and Reese looked over at 'Ashley', "You know Commissioner Gordon?"
"You sound shocked."
"I am, you of all people knowing someone in law enforcement, besides me."
"His Oracle's father."
"The voice?"
"Yeah." They sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity, each raking their minds for something to say.
"So.um.would you like to dance?" Reese said looking to 'Ashley' with hope in his eyes.
"Sure, I'd.yeah, why not?" 'Ashley' replied. He extended his hand and "Ashley' took in and let him take her to the dance floor.
Reese put his hand on 'Ashley's' waist as she put hers on his shoulder, he took her other hand in his and they began to dance. Lynn narrowed her eyes as she watched them, "Detective Jesse is so in love with her," Jennifer said.
"Where do you see love?"
"In his eyes, the way he looks at her the way he treats her. How can you miss it? She loves him too, it's in the eyes."
"It's lust."
"No, believe me its love."
"No, it's not Jennifer, it's complete and utter lust."
"Well, maybe you should review you clues once more before you come up with a verdict, DA."
Lynn walked away not caring to look back. 'Ashley' smiled at Reese as he smiled back, "So, you enjoying yourself, Ashley?" Reese asked as he turned her around. "I believe I am, Detective. I see you know how to fine your clues very well."
"I guess I do." They continued dancing, 'Ashley' put both of her hands on Reese's shoulders and Reese put his on her waist; she put her head on his shoulder, of course Reese didn't protest. ** "Barbara, what time is it?" Dinah asked roaming the streets of new Gotham.
"About ten, why?" Barbara replied. "And while you're on patrol its Oracle."
"Sorry, Oracle. And I spotted this ball I guess going on, it's for the New Gotham PD, should I check it out?"
Barbara knew here father would be there, he was always at those functions, she hadn't seen her father in years, ever since she began Helena's guardian, she didn't want him to know, "Go in Dinah, scan the room and see what's going on, and try to be, how should I put this, not noticeable."
"I'm sorry that I have a tattoo on my forehead that says 'vigilante'."
"That's not what I mean, just don't let anyone know, well you know."
"Yes, dear Oracle I know. I'm heading in. Dinah out."
"Dinah."
"Can't pull it off can I."
"Sorry, only Huntress can."
"She gets all the cool stuff."
"And she doesn't get in trouble on a daily bases."
"Alright I'm going in."
Dinah walked into the room and looked around the room, "So, far nothing Oracle."
"Good, let see if I can get some surveillance."
"Okay, contact me when you got it."
"Don't worry I will."
Dinah walked further into the room, keeping to the shadows as much as possible or staying to the back of room. She spotted Reese sitting at a table by himself, a brunette had just gotten up from the seat next to him; she hadn't be able to get a good look at the girl but she doubted Helena would be happy to find out about that. ** 'Ashley' got up and walked to the bathroom, she wanted to check up on Dinah, she wanted to make sure she was handling the crime of New Gotham. She made sure there was no one inside before she turned her com set on. She put it on, "Alfred, are you there?"
"Yes, Miss Helena."
"Good, how is Dinah doing?"
"From what I hear, she's doing quite well."
"She hasn't run into any real trouble?"
"No, not yet."
"Good."
"Why are you so concerned about Miss Dinah, Miss Helena?"
"Because I know what it's like to go on patrol for the first time."
"Very well, Miss Helena."
"Where is Dinah?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll find out if you'd like Miss Dinah."
"What do you think you're doing?!" Lynn said as she walked into the bathroom.
"Alfred, I gotta go. Huntress out," 'Ashley' whispered. "What are you talking about?" she asked turning around to face her.
"I'm asking you a damn question! Now answer it!!"
"I'm fixing my make-up."
"That's not what I mean! What the hell are you doing here with Jesse?"
"Oh, you mean Detective Reese. He's my boyfriend, he invited me and I came."
"Did you know he and I dated?"
"Yeah, he mentioned that, you were the worst blind date he ever had."
"You little bitch."
"Okay, what is your problem?"
"What is my problem? What is my problem?"
"I just asked you that."
"I'll tell you what my problem is! My problem is you! You're trying to take Jesse from me."
"First of all he's not your boyfriend and second, I'm not taking Reese away from you."
"You are nothing but a cheap bitchy whore!"
"I suggest you take that back before I really have to hurt you."
"I'm not taking anything back bitch."
"Okay, that's it."
"Oh, what's the little girl gonna do?"
"Kick your ass!!"
Lynn took a swing at 'Ashley', which of course she dodged, she took a swing at Lynn and she nailed her right in the face. Lynn looked back at her, blood running out of her mouth. She kicked at her but she blocked it and flipped her, "I suggest you give up while you're a head," 'Ashley' said. Lynn narrowed her eyes, "I don't give up till I win!" It's gonna be a while than, 'Ashley' thought to herself. Lynn pushed her through the swinging door to the bathroom, she landed on her back with Lynn on top of her. 'Ashley' threw her off of her, she got to her feet, Reese came running over to her, "What the hell is going on here?"
"You might want to ask her that," 'Ashley' replied.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"And what about me, Jesse?" Lynn asked.
"I'm more worried about my girlfriend than you, right now," Reese replied.
"But I'm your co-worker."
"And that's it."
"And what about our date."
"It was one date, Lynn that's it!" ** "Oracle, a fight just broke out," Dinah said.
"Did you see who it was?" Oracle asked.
"No, I haven't made my way through the crowd yet."
"I'll see if I can get some surveillance, where's the fight?"
"In front of the women's bathroom, it's a blonde and brunette; the brunette was with Reese earlier."
"Helena won't be happy about that."
"What won't Miss Helena be happy about?" Alfred asked as he walked into the room.
"The fact that Reese brought another girl to the police ball and she got into a fight. I'm gonna see if I can contact her,' Oracle replied, as she typed away.
"I'll get you some tea, Miss Barbara."
"Thanks Alfred."
"You are very welcome, Miss Barbara."
Alfred walked into the kitchen, knowing where Helena was, "Miss Helena, Miss Helena are you there?"
"Alfred, what do you want, I'm kinda in the middle of something right now."
"Miss Dinah is there and Miss Barbara is trying to get surveillance of the area."
"Shit! I've got to get out of here! Do you know where Dinah is?"
"She's still trying to get through the crowd."
"Good, I've got time. Thanks Alfred."
"You are very welcome Miss Helena."
Helena cut the connection and Alfred bought Barbara her tea. ** "Reese we have to get out of here," Helena said as she turned to him.
"Why?" Reese asked in reply.
"Cuz my sister is here and I lied to her and told her I was taking the night off and this is NOT taking the night off."
"Alright, but you're gonna have to tell me what happened."
"Okay, after we get out of here."
"Well, how are we getting out of here?"
"How about we just walk out."
"Okay, this is the first time you actually did something normal."
"Scary isn't it?"
"Let's just go."
"Alright."
Reese put his arm around 'Ashley's' shoulder and they started to walk out, "Jesse, where are you going man?" one of the fellow detectives asked.
"Home," Reese replied.
"Oh, I know what you mean."
'Ashley' shook her head as she heard the comment; they walked the rest of the away out of the hall. They stopped when they got to Reese's car, he opened the door for 'Ashley' and she got in.
"So, why don't you tell me why we had to leave?" Reese replied.
"Besides the fact I just got into a fight with one of your co-workers?" Helena replied.
"Com' on Huntress, tell me the truth."
"You want the truth?"
"I just said that."
"I didn't exactly tell Oracle or Dinah why I wanted the night off, all I Oracle was that it would help Dinah's training."
"So, you lied?"
"I lied to my.co-workers, my friends.Hell the people who always got my back. I've never done that unless I need to. Unless it was to save their lives, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. Not that I never lied to Oracle when I was younger."
"So, she was like your mother?"
"I guess after my mother died."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's a little too later for that, it's been over eight years."
"How about your father?"
"I never meet him, it's funny he's a legend yet he never knew he had a daughter."
"Oh, did you ever want to meet him?"
"Only if he'll kill the man who killed my mother."
Reese started the car and they drove the rest of the way in silence; he dropped her off where he picked her up and walked her to the door, "Are you sure I can't drive you home?"
"Thanks, Reese but I rather you not."
"What ever you say, I'll see you later."
Helena watched as Reese got into his car and drove off; she opened the door and went inside, a smile on her face.
"What the hell are you wearing?" Dinah asked when Helena finally arrived.
"Clothes just like you," Helena replied.
"Did you have to wear those clothes?"
"You said to wear decent clothes."
"I meant clothes that cover your whole body not half! God, I'm in so much trouble!"
