Huntress was inside a jail cell, there only was a table that was used as a
seat. She paced around, really pissed. A fat drunk woman and a prostitute
were there. In the next cell, a drugged man, the thief and 3 other thieves
were seated in the floor. The smell was awful. She hated that smell, she
had been there some times and the smell remembered her many bad moments.
"Where is she?" she asked in the mic to Dinah. "I need go out of here!"
::She is on her way:: Dinah answered ::Just be patient, I heard the report, the policemen are really angry with you.::
"I'm more angry. That stupid thief cut my coat, I helped the police to catch him and they shot me and jailed me!"
::Barbara knows, we heard the police report, and you told her all already:: Dinah said.
"God, I can't believe this!" Huntress put her arm in a wall and rested her forehead on it. Hey eyes were in feral mode and she tried to changed them unsuccessfully, she felt so upset. Was better hide her face to avoid that some one could see her.
The drunk woman looked at the prostitute. "The dove is a nut, talking to herself."
"With that body I could forget anything odd." One of the thieves said.
"Hey dolly, how much for an hour?" the second thief said.
Huntress turned her head. "Watch your mouth, stupid, I'm not in a good mod today."
"Be careful boys " The thief that she had trapped mumbled.
::Huntress it could take a few hours:: Dinah explained ::You are innocent but you attacked the police.::
"I can't believe this!" she hit a bar of the cell with the palm of her hand. Maybe was her fault, but the police called her "thief" and he had shoot her. The trouble followed her.
"Great! I love the rude girls" one of the thieves held the bars and put his face between them. He sent her a kiss. That was all she needed, she smiled and walked toward him.
"What do you want?" she asked.
"A moment of fun."
"Okay."
The man suddenly screamed. She took him by his crotch and lifted him. He could saw her eyes and he felt most scared.
::Huntress!:: Dinah said ::What are you doing?::
"You must learn to respect women." Huntress said. "Promise me that you won't do that again."
His friends tried to help him. Without release the man that was screaming, she took one of them by the lapel and hit his head against the bars, he fell bleeding, the other thief grabbed her hand and she kicked him in the face.
"Promise me." she clenched her teeth ".or it will be really painful for you. I promise."
"Yes, yes!!" he cried.

Barbara wheeled inside the police station. It was full of persons, many criminal activities because was late. She looked for the main office and wheeled inside.
"May I help you?" An old policeman was at a desk.
"Good evening, my name is Barbara Gordon."
"Barbara Gordon? The daughter or Comissioner Gordon?" he looked at her surprised.
"Yes, that's me..." she smiled.
"I'm Captain Wheaton, remember me?" he extended his hand and stood up. "Come in."
"Captain! Nice to see you. I never expected find you here."
"Well, I love this job, how is your father?"
"He is fine thanks, really fine. Captain. maybe you could help me. Some of your agents brought a young woman in."
"A young woman?"
"Yes, black short hair, black clothes." Barbara brushed her hair.
"Uh..oh. the liquor store case?" the Captain looked his files. "I'm reading it now."
"Yes, it was a mistake, she stopped a robbery and."
"Well, one of my men that was there told me that she hit some of our men very hard. One of them has a broken nose and another one was knocked out."
Barbara puckered her frown "Oh. I'm really sorry, sometimes she is. rude."
"Rude? Madam, they were 4 of my bigger men.And I had to her put alone in a cell far from the others. She created a big ruckus down there a few minutes ago. She broke the head of one of the."
"Don't tell me. I can guess." Barbara nodded with her head. She could imagine what Helena could do when she feeling as a trapped cat.
"Who is that girl?"
"I'm... I'm her mentor, she is Helena Kyle the daughter of a friend of mine, Selina Kyle, she was murdered a few years ago."
"Yes, I remember that. Is she her daughter?"
"Yes, she is a good person, but has a difficult character. I need to know how I can get her out of here. She is innocent of the robbery."
".Yes but she hit my men and that man in the jail. Oh my, trying to get her to release him, was hard, she grabbed him by his." he pointed to his crotch. Barbara opened her eyes surprised "I had to send the man to the infirmary and I switched her to a different cell with the help of 4 men."
Barbara knew Helena was in really big trouble, and took a deep breath "She knows how to fight, she is. an expert in martial arts." she explained to the Captain "As I said you I'm her mentor; I know her, she is a good girl. She works. All this is a misunderstanding, she was angry because she is innocent, and you know that your agent committed a mistake with her, he shot her, and she helped the owner of the store, surely you can't be mad about that."
"How do you know that?" the policeman glared at her. "You haven't seen the police report, you didn't talk with her.
"I. just know." Barbara tried to explain, she had talked with Helena using the mic but she couldn't tell him.
"And I can see her 'history' here." He looked again in the files. "Wow!"
"Please Captain, it was a long time ago, I had been working with her. She was mad because her mother was murdered. You can't tell me that all this is her fault now, your rookie pointed a gun at her when she had just foiled a robbery."
"Well" he scratched his head "That's true but."
"Tell me what I need to do. I will pay the bail. She is only guilty of annoying your agents but they first committed an injustice with her. And I don't think that you want her in jail so many days" Barbara pointed the captain's crotch. "She is quite impatient."

Dinah was in the kitchen, it was 5 o'clock in the morning when the elevator door opened. Helena was the first in walk in, she looked like she was in a really bad mood, her eyes still were feral. She threw her coat in a chair and walked to the refrigerator. Barbara wheeled inside behind her.
"Want a cup of coffee?" Dinah asked Barbara.
"Please." the read head said, she put her briefcase in the same chair where Helena left her jacket.
"What happened?" Dinah asked her, preparing the coffe.
"What happened was ten thousand dollars bail because she hit the policemen, she resisted arrest, she hurt some of them, plus a little disturbance inside the jail." Barbara raised her brow and took off her coat.
"And you could get her off after all that?" Dinah looked Helena who sat at the table drinking a glass of milk and took out the peanut butter and bread to prepare a sandwich.
"It was difficult, but I paid a high bail and had to give a long explanation. It helped a lot that the Captain in the Police Station knew my dad and me. If not, she would be there two more days." Barbara explained crossing her arms in the table and looking her protégé who distracted opened the peanut butter jar.
"Want coffee Helena?" Dinah asked to her partner.
"No, thanks." Helena answered preparing her sandwich.
"You need to control yourself, Helena, you could have avoided this." Barbara said in calm voice.
"Yea, I'll let the thief steal next time." She cut her sandwich in half. "Want some of this?"
"No, thanks, I still don't understand how you can eat those things." Barbara shook her head.
"Peanut butter is good." Helena answered.
"I really hope ther's not a next time, okay?" Barbara glared at her. Dinah gave her the cup of coffee.
"Hey, do you think it's funny to be inside a jail for seven hours next to criminals, prostitutes and thieves? I'm a hero, I'm on the good side, I'm supposedly helping those policemen, and they should tell me: Thanks, and not jail me."
"You were rude."
"That rookie was scared and he shot me after I trapped the thief. He lied, I never attacked him!. " Helena explained.
"Precisely for that," Barbara said patiently, after the bad moment she couldn't deny that the situation was funny. "He is a beginner and you are a Pro. You always need to take control."
"Point for her." Dinah said. Huntress bit the sandwich. "Have you been there many times Helena? Barbara said that she usually does this, gets you out of there."
"You had to tell her?" Helena asked Barbara raising her head.
"Not often, just a few times" Barbara smiled. "The last time that she was in jail was a year and a half ago, she sideswiped two cars, flattened a stop sign, crashed into a fire hydrant and knocked out a security guard."
"Remember that I was in a hurry," Helena self-defended "and I shoved him to get him out of the way. I barely even touched the guy."
"Yes, I know your 'barely even touched.'" Dinah raised her brown.
"Okay girls it's too late, time to go to the bed." Barbara said. "Tomorrow is a work day. Want to stay Helena?"
"No, I'll go to my home, you two wake up too early and don't let me sleep."
"Oh yea?" Barbara laughed, crossing her arms "You don't like that we wake you up when we are preparing to leave?"
"It's irritating." Helena looked at her, finishing the sandwich.
"So how what do you call it when you don't let us sleep like at times like this?"
"Oh. this? Well, it's all part of the job. And it's all your fault."
"My fault? Why my fault?" Barbara asked surprised.
"Because if you hadn't trained me as a super hero, my life and your life would be like in any family: boring."
"Ah, I get it, okay super hero, wash the dishes and go to sleep. Tomorrow is a long day."
"Barbara" Dinah interrupted "May I. not go on patrol tomorrow night?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Barbara looked her.
"No, I met a guy at school and he invited me to the movies tomorrow."
"Yes, of course, it's good that you have your moments of distraction as Helena did tonight."
"I couldn't call tonight a 'distraction moment'" Helena said.
"No? You kept all busy and are awake now. Good night." She wheeled toward her room.
"Where is she?" she asked in the mic to Dinah. "I need go out of here!"
::She is on her way:: Dinah answered ::Just be patient, I heard the report, the policemen are really angry with you.::
"I'm more angry. That stupid thief cut my coat, I helped the police to catch him and they shot me and jailed me!"
