Author's Note: Sorry, I have some serious writer's block for this story and
I couldn't figure out where to go from the last chapter and then it hit me,
in this story (unlike in the series) Helena doesn't know who Reese's father
is. And so now I have the rest of my story, well at least the next few
chapters anyways. Enjoy loyal fans.

Dangerously in Love
Helena walked into the clock tower, smiling and unbelievably happy; she practically skipped into the clock tower. She walked into the kitchen and almost knocked Dinah over, "Opps, sorry."
"What's with you?" Dinah asked raising her eyebrow.
"Nothing, where's Barbara?"
"Control center, where else? She researching the guy I tracked down last night."
"Catch him?"
"No, I just tracked him, Oracle didn't want me to go after him."
"Too bad, it would have saved me some work."
"Okay, that's the first time you ever said that."
"I'm gonna go talk to Barbara."
"Okay."
Helena walked out of the kitchen and into the control room, she dropped into one of the chairs, "Good morning Barbara, and how are you this morning?"
"What's with you?" Barbara asked turning around.
"What do you mean, Barbara?"
"You're smiling, you're a little over happy and you're wearing a dress."
"I've worn a dress before Barbara."
"Yes, but you dress in a nice non-leather, un-tight skirt with a very nice skirt too."
"And, I happen to like this outfit," she said between giggles.
"Okay, now I know there's something wrong this is so unlike you. You're giggling. I know you did something last night.um you have sex, you meet a really cute guy, you got into a fight at a bar, you got drunk; any of this guesses right?"
"What is it with you Barbara? I can't be happy without there being a reason behind it?"
"Helena we're talking about you, not me, Dinah or Alfred."
"Actually it's Dinah, Alfred or I, Miss Gordon."
"It is not the time to be making jokes Helena!"
"Clam down Barbara." All of the sudden the chair Helena was sitting on went sliding across the control room, luckily Helena caught the side of the desk before going completely off the platform. "What the hell did you do?"
"I was tinkering with some stuff last night."
"Weren't you suppose to have a date with Wade last night? Of course you didn't go because I asked for the day off and I told you to send Dinah on sweeps, you should have told me, I would have understood."
"Before you go off blaming yourself it was a lunch date and I didn't cancel the date I went."
"Well, what happened?"
"What do you mean, Helena?" she asked turning back to her computer.
"Don't play stupid, you not very good at it. Every time something goes wrong with Wade, you come home, go to your little control room, get out your tools and start tinker with something or other."
"That's not true Helena, I like to work, no; I love to work on things!!"
"Just tell me what you did, Barbara."
"Well, since my chair already moves on it's own, I decided to see if I could make a few of the chairs in the control room do the same, they move by themselves, but there are a few bugs I need to work out."
"A few! I almost went flying off the platform!"
"Okay, so more like I have to retune the who thing and figure out how to work the control."
"Control?"
"Yeah, I made a control for the chairs but it seem as though it's malfunctioning."
"I'm getting out of this chair, and you're gonna fix all the chairs you tinkered with and you're gonna tell me what happened, understand? Good!"
"Nothing happened!"
"Don't you dare lie to me Barbara, I know you very well."
"Fine, so maybe something did go wrong but."
"But?"
"Well, I.he told.he asked me why I was always leaving during the middle of a date or leave school earlier."
"Well, that's usually when you break up with them."
"But I don't want to break up with Wade, he's great and loving."
"Okay, I'm not getting into this with you, every time I do that I end up getting a lecture about getting into your business."
"Not that I want to ruin your good mood but last night Dinah saw Reese with another woman at the police ball last night."
"So, what's your point Barbara?"
"You like him, why are you not mad?"
"Look it was a job thing Barbara, it's not like I'd take him to a superhero convention. Just like you wouldn't take Wade to one."
"But Helena how could you not be at least a little angry?" Before Helena could answer the phone rang, thank god, Helena thought. "Hello?" Barbara replied as she answered the phone, already going back to work.
"Hello, Barbara."
"Dad, I haven't heard from you in a while. What do you want?"
"Well, I wanted to ask you something."
'I'm gonna go, Barbara' Helena mouthed and walked out of the clock tower. ~~ Helena jumped down onto the ground, "Hey Reese," Helena said causing him to jump. He turned around and face Helena.
"You can't just walk up to me like a normal person, it would save me a few trips to the hospital," Reese replied.
"But what's the fun in that?" Helena replied.
"Hey, there's this thing on Saturday night, and it's a police thing, more of a party than a thing," Reese said jabbering on.
"Reese, save me the stupid talk and get to the point; it would really help with my tight schedule."
"Okay, here goes, there's this police party at my captain's house Saturday night and I'm invited."
"And this concerns me because."
"Because they want me to bring my girlfriend Barbara Ashley Scott."
"Can't you tell them I have to work?"
"Please Huntress."
"Fine, but you owe me big, I mean really big."
"I know, but don't worry I'll make it up to you."
"You better."
~~
"Dinah?" Barbara said as she rolled through the clock tower. "Dinah?"
"Yeah Barbara?" Dinah asked.
"On Saturday night we're going to a police function, my father's going to be there and he wants me to be there with him."
"Oh, I see. I'll call Gabby."
"And I'm allowed to bring one guest."
"So, your bringing Wade?"
"No."
"Helena?"
"No."
"Alfred?"
"Now, why would I bring my butler, and no."
"Than who?"
"You."
"Me? You really want to take me? Why?"
"Why? Why else, so my father can meet the new crime fighter in New Gotham, the newest superhero helping to make New Gotham less of a criminal filled rat hole."
"That's one way to put it, but what am I gonna wear?" ~~ Helena put on her shoes and walked to the front door, she grabbed her jacket off of Alfred's arm, "see you later Alfred," Helena said as she walked out the door.
"Yes Miss Helena," Alfred said and closed the door.
Helena walked down the stairs and out onto the street; she waited for Reese to show up. But something didn't feel right, she felt like someone was watching her, but no one was behind her, she just felt uneasy standing there. Finally Reese pulled up and got into the car, the feeling of uneasiness didn't discontinue when she got into the car, and it only got stronger. He stopped the car in front of a twenty-story apartment building, in the rich side of town obviously; she walked in to the building with him right behind her.
"I've jumped off this building before," Helena said as they entered the elevator.
"I'm not surprised," Reese replied as the elevator doors closed.
"So where are we going?"
"I told you, Huntress, I mean Ashley."
"Oh, shut up!"
The doors opened and they walked in, Reese started talking to his fellow co- workers as 'Ashley' stood next to him. ~~ "Hi dad," Barbara said as she rolled over to her father.
"Barbara," James said as he hugged his daughter. "I see you're still in a wheelchair."
"Yes, but it's a more advanced wheelchair."
"But it still a chair with wheels. Damn him!"
"Dad, it was my choice, I knew the risks. Please don't blame him, dad."
"Fine."
"Oh, dad I want you to meet Dinah, New Gotham's newest vigilante."
"Hello Commissioner Gordon," Dinah replied as she extended her hand.
"Please, call me James," he replied as he shook her hand.
"I've been training her for a few months now, she's been on patrol a few times but not by herself, well only once."
"Really, and how old are you?"
"Sixteen, I'm turning seventeen in a few months."
"Wow! A young superhero, how do you do your homework if you have to fight crime?"
"I have to go home early, can't stay out past eleven."
"Well, it seems my daughter has you on a strict set of rules, much like I did when I was raising her."
"Yes, she does."
"Well, everyone has to follow some kind of rules no matter what, every job has rules. Ours just happen to be different from most jobs," Barbara replied.
"Yeah says the senior Superhero," Dinah said.
They laughed at Dinah's joke and continued talking.
"Hey Barbara doesn't that look like.?" Dinah asked as she pointed to a brunette
"Yeah it is," Barbara said as she looked in the direction Dinah was pointing.
"Why's she here?"
"I don't know. Is that Reese next to her?"
"You mean the guy holding her hand?"
"Yeah, is it.?"
"Reese, yeah."
"Do you think.?"
"That they."
"Could be dating?"
Dinah and Barbara looked at each other and then at Helena and made their way over to her.
