Confused Thoughts and Memories
"Helena, your perfectly fine," Barbara said putting her tools away. "Physically anyways," she added causing Helena to defend her ground.
"What are you talking about, Barbara?" Helena questioned jumping off the examine table.
"I'm talking about the way your acting toward Reese!"
"He lied to me!"
"And who are you? Miss Honesty?"
"That's different, I have people to protect!"
"No, it's just your way of keeping people out!"
"I was right, we can't trust him."
"No, you can't!!"
"What?" Helena questioned completely confused.
"You always find a reason not to trust someone; with Dinah it's the fact that she lied and she can see into your mind with a touch, with me it's the fact that I keep you a secret from Batman and that I was his partner and with Reese it's the fact he didn't tell you who his father is."
"That's not true!"
"Yes it is Helena, the only person you completely trust is yourself and Alfred."
"Let me deal with this in my own way; I have to figure it out myself." Helena walked out; she decided to go to the one place where she could be alone.
Helena looked out onto New Gotham; it was lit up as it usually was at this time of night. She always came up here, sometimes to escape Barbara other times to escape her life but never to escape Selina Kyle.her mother. She was so angry with Reese, but it was true she was never completely honest with him either. "Mom, I wish you were here to help me; I'd give everything just to see you once more and say goodbye. I miss you mom," Helena said into the silent night sky. "Is Barbara right? Do I purposely distrust people so I can push them away?" she wondered looking up at the stars for her answer. "God, what do I do about Reese? Do I forgive him? Let him explain? Avoid him? God, I don't know." Helena remembered being younger, much younger, five to be exact, her mother told her to always follow her heart, "Follow my heart," Helena said aloud, she knew the answer to her question.
Reese threw his jacket onto his bed, "I'm such an idiot, I should have told her! Now she hates me! Fuck!" Reese shouted to himself, while mentally beating himself up.
"And I thought I was the crazy one," a female voice said.
"What?" Reese questioned the dark figure sitting on the windowsill.
"You're talking to yourself, Detective, that's a sign of insanity," the figure replied unmoving.
"You're one to talk about sanity," Reese replied switching on the light. He found, which of course was no surprise, Huntress.
"Yeah, but I wasn't talking to myself."
"Says the woman who jumps off of 50 foot buildings for fun."
"Yeah."
"So?"
"What's the response to this situation?" Helena questioned unmoving from his position.
"What situation?" Reese questioned hoping she wouldn't have a response.
"Our situation! The fact that you lied to me!!"
"I didn't lie, I just never told you!"
"It doesn't matter we're suppose to be partners, friends.how can I work with someone I don't trust?"
"Oh, and you're an open book?"
"I have people to protect! It's my job to protect the innocent!"
"Hey, it's my job, too!"
"Says the man whose father is one of Gotham's most wanted criminals!"
"You're a pretty hard person to find, Huntress," Dinah said climbing the fire escape.
"Go to hell," Huntress replied pushing Dinah off.
"Dinah!" Reese shouted looking out the window.
"She'll be fine," Huntress replied. "Dinah, you alive?"
"Yeah, no thanks to you!" Dinah shouted in reply.
"That's how much I care."
"Oracle's right!"
Huntress jumped off the fire escape, landing in front of Dinah. She slammed her fist straight into Dinah's face; Dinah was completely stunned and she couldn't figure out what to do. Huntress tripped her and her head slammed into the ground; everything was blurry, she could barely make out Huntress as she roughly pulled her to her feet. Reese pulled Huntress off of Dinah; she struggled against him, she bit his arm and he let her lose. She began to run and Reese chased after her, "Oracle, it's Dinah," she said turning on her com set.
"Where is she?" Barbara asked.
"She was at Reese's, but she started running towards the docks."
"Shit, go after her."
"I'm kinda recovering from a concussion."
"Helena punched you?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"She did the same to me."
"That sucks."
"I'm gonna track Reese."
"Why not Huntress?"
"Her com set is in front of me."
"Oh, I see um.I feel stupid now."
"Big surprise, I'll send Alfred down."
"Thank God I thought I was gonna have to die here."
"Stop being over dramatic." ~*~
Reese continued his pursuit of Huntress of course she was thirty feet in front of him, but he wasn't gonna give up. Huntress wasn't sure where she was headed, all she knew was she wanted to get away from everything and everyone. She dodged the on coming car, but Reese wasn't as fast; the car didn't stop in time, he went flying into the air. His body slammed onto the roof of the car and rolled off, "Reese!" Huntress shouted running to his side. "Someone call 911!" she shouted trying to stop the blood flowing from his forehead.
