THREE WEEKS AGO..
Helena finished her work at The Dark House Bar. She took a bath and went outside in her dark clothes. She jumped over a building. It was a relief to be away from the noise and the smell of cigarettes. She began to race across the rooftops and jumped down in an alley a few blocks from the Clock Tower. She glanced at her watch, that was a very good time. She walked distractedly in the street. Surely it would be another regular night, which would be great because she felt a little tired and she wanted to go to bed early.
Suddenly her meta senses turned on, her eyes changed; she looked to her left. On the other side of the sidewalk, inside a store, a man was pointing a gun at the owner. She smiled.
The thief filled his pockets with money and stepped back, he turned to run and he found a fist in his face, he fell backwards.
"Hey, you have very bad manners, you must learn to be polite." Huntress took the gun and threw it to the owner. "Call the police."
The man moved quickly, he took a knife and threw it at her. Huntress turned her body to the side and the knife ripped the border of her long coat. She looked at him, pissed, and lifted him by his throat with one hand.
"That could cost you your life!" she said angrily "Don't do it again or you'll find yourself in an early grave, and not in jail. Got it?"
"Yes." he mumbled scared of the girl's strength.
She threw him against some shelves. "Don't let him go." Huntress said to the owner store, who pointed the gun at him.
Huntress examined her coat, maybe it could be fixed with a few stitches, this was the part that she hated about the job. She walked out of the store. "Don't move!" she heard a voice and raised her head. A young policeman was pointing at her with a gun, he trembled.
"Now what?" she asked, rolling her eyes.
"Raise your hands."
"What?"
"I saw you attacking that man!"
"That man is a thief, ask the owner, I helped him."
"You can't fool me!" he exclaimed and took off his handcuffs. "Down!"
"Hey, are you listening to me? He's the thief, go and arrest him." Huntress stepped towards him and he shot his gun. She ducked to avoid the shot, it broke the glass of the store. She looked him angrily. The only thing worse than a thief was a young, inexperienced policeman with a gun.
"Are you nuts?" she shouted lying in the floor. "Be careful!"
"Put you hands over your head or I'll shoot you!"
"The thief is inside the store! Ask the owner!" she repeated angrily.
"I saw you hitting him, I called my partners, don't move!" the gun trembled in the rookie's hands. She avoided moving, that young man would shoot, he was so scared.
"Would you please listen to me?" Huntress said trying to sound calm.
::Huntress it's late, where are you?:: she heard Oracle's voice in her mic.
"Trouble."
"Put your hands over your head!" the policeman screamed.
"Ok, ok." Huntress obeyed. "But why don't you ask the owner first?"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
::What's happening?:: Oracle asked, listening to the conversation.
"A rookie cop is pointing a gun at me."
"Shut up!" he shouted at her. "Don't talk!"
::What is going on?:: Oracle asked worried.
He carefully walked near her. Huntress didn't move, he was too nervous and he surely would shoot her. She was waiting for the best moment to get his gun when she heard two cars screech to a stop in front of the sidewalk. She raised her eyes. Two patrol cars were there and 5 police men stepped out with their guns out, three entered to the store.
"Oh, no.." She frowned and rested her forehead on the floor. The rookie put the handcuff on her right hand, and he moved her hand down to chain her left hand.
::What's happening Huntress?::
"The police have me."
::What???:: In the Clock Tower, Oracle was surprised with the response. "An stupid policeman confused me with a thief. I stopped a robbery and he pointed a gun at me." Huntress explained. A policeman roughly forced her to stand up, lifting her by the arm. "Be careful you.!"
"Easy girl, let's go" the police took her to the patrol car.
"Wait a minute, I didn't do anything!" she said "I helped that man."
"Yes, always are innocent." the policeman smiled.
"Yes, she helped me." The owner walked out his store.
"I saw her throwing him against the shelves." The young policeman said.
"He was pointing a gun at the old man." Huntress explained. "Is it too hard for you to understand that?"
"And she tried to attack me." the young policeman glared at her.
"What?" Huntress looked him.
"You tried to take me my gun and I shot to stop her. I broke the window glass."
"That's a lie! I just stepped forward and you shot me, stupid!" Huntress faced him and the policeman held her back.
"You tried to attack me!" the young policeman pointed at her.
"You are a liar! I helped you to do your damn work, is it hard to understand for a fool trainee?"
"Don't speak like that, lady." The policeman that held her pressed her arm "It's not good that you attacked an officer."
::Huntress calm down. Don't make it worse:: Oracle said through the mic. She was listening to the entire conversation and trying to figure out what was happening. She looked for Huntress' signal, it was near, a few blocks from the Clock Tower.
"He shot me without reason! I didn't attack him!" Huntress shouted.
"You did. She is a thief." The young policeman said.
She escaped of the grip of the policeman that held her and she kicked him. "Watch what you say, stupid boy!" she shouted.
A policeman held her back again, another came from the front, she kicked him and his partner too. She rolled and made the officer that held her fly against a window. One of the policeman that was on the floor tried to hold her but she hit him in the face with her knee and kicked the second one that tried to stand up.
"Calm down or I'll shoot!" a policeman ordered, pointing at her with his gun. She looked him rabidly and stopped her attack. "If you are innocent you will be released, but I don't think you are, you attacked the police."
"I'm innocent!" she shouted.
"Close your mouth! Take her to the Police Station!"
::I hope you're happy now, you screwed it all again!:: Oracle exclaimed.
"Now everybody go!." The oldest policeman ordered to the owner and the thief.

"Helena shut up and calm down!" Oracle ordered "Go with them, I'll come get you." She passed her hand over her face. "Damn!"
"What happened?" Dinah entered to the lab. "Where is Huntress? I'm ready."
"She is in trouble, the police arrested her."
"The police what?" Dinah opened her eyes.
"She stopped a robbery and they confused her with a thief, the problem is that one of the guys call her thief and she reacted. as she used to react."
"She is really in trouble now."
"Damn, why couldn't she control her self?"
"Oh, oh. I'll go there." Dinah said.
"No. wait. Stay here, I need to go for her." Barbara took her coat and a briefcase.
"Reese would help us."
"I don't want to involve him on this, at least I'll try first by myself. Keep an eye on Delphi, this is going to be a long night."
"You sure you don't need help?" Dinah asked.
Barbara smiled "Don't worry, it's not the first time that I've had to do this." she wheeled to the elevator.
"Super Barbara to the rescue." Dinah Joked.
