Helena walked inside Clock Tower in the next afternoon. All was so quiet,
she looked around, Alfred was alone upstairs in the library cleaning the
books. She stepped back in the elevator and pushed the button up.
"Hi Alfred" she greeted walking toward him, she wore a short white blouse and red pants.
"Good afternoon miss Helena, a difficult night?"
"Barbara told you." She sat in a chair next to the desk.
"Yes, and I cold tell you that I didn't laugh so much since a while ago."
"I don't see what's so funny."
"Maybe because you were the principal character. See it like something anecdotic."
"Very anecdotic."
"Neither you mother were in so much trouble as you." Alfred said giving her a cloth and a dirty book.
"The problems come to me alone, where is Barbara?" she began to clean the cover of the book.
"She is in her room, back in a few minutes.".
"Hi Helena!" Dinah appeared in the room smiling. "How are you?"
"After yesterday what do you think?"
"Oh Helena wasn't your fault." Dinah said sat in the desk.
"Is frustrating fight against crime with these rookies in the streets." Helena said to her.
"Well, everybody have a first time." Alfred smiled "until you miss Helena."
"Yea, but I never pointed a guy with a gun." Helena took another book to clean.
"You not need gun to be in troubles." Alfred explained "Or I must remember the."
"No!" she interrupted.
"What?" Dinah asked.
"Nothing."
"Alfred tell me." Dinah begged.
"Hey!" Helena opened her arms "I had enough problems yesterday:"
"And you will find more in your career" Alfred explained "But with this experience, you will know what to do the next time."
"Yea, go out by the back door." Helena groaned.
"You are so funny Helena" Dinah laughed.
"Afternoon girls" Barbara wheeled inside the lab and looked up. "Hi! How are you Helena?"
"Fine, thanks."
Dinah stood up and ran downstairs to join Barbara.
"See?" Helena said to Alfred "she had fun and I work. She goes to the movies now."
"Well as you said, you are the older super hero here, after Miss Barbara of course." He gave her another book "The sacrifice is part of the job. And I'm sure this experiences would turn you most stronger."
Helena glared at him "Sometimes I don't know if you are talking me serious or if you are making fun of me."
"Miss Helena how could you think that I would make fun of you?" he asked seriously.
Dinah jumped the last steps and ran toward Barbara.
"How I look?" the blond asked.
"Great," Barbara examined her "You look great."
"May I back at 12? After the movies we will like go to dinner."
"Sure, but not more." She looked up and saw Helena and Alfred. "Hey Helena when you finish could you please wash your clothes?"
"Which clothes?" Helena puckered her frown.
"The clothes that are in the laundry room since last Friday. The little basket grew to a big mountain."
"Mountain? she exaggerate." she mumbled to Alfred upstairs.
"I don't think so." Alfred smiled. "Remember that you change your clothes every five minutes. Multiply 5 days by 4 changes every one. It means."
"Okay, okay" she put the cloth in the table and walked to the elevator "better I'll go to wash it before you two kill me."
"Miss Helena." Alfred raised his finger. "Just remember: Is one cup of soap in a washing machine load."
"Oh Alfred." Helena raised her hands "How I could know that with just a cup of soap all those clothes would be clean.?"
"Yes, but accept that was an exaggeration put the half of the box inside the machine."
"Don't remember me, I cleaned the room that time."
"And don't use bleach." Alfred pointed.
".In dark clothes." she added nodding with her head and walked inside the elevator "I know, now I know."
Alfred loved Helena, was like a big child. He felt sad because Bruce Wayne had lost the opportunity to see grow that marvellous girl.

The man that held Dinah, hit her in the head, she fell stunned.
"I don't like the games." The man said pointing his gun to her. "I'm going to show you what happens when you make me feel angry."
A black shadow fell over the man, before he could react he was in the floor. Huntress took him by the lapel and throw him against his accomplices. She jumped over one of the men and put her hands in his shoulders, she raised her legs and kicked the two guys next to her. They fell to the floor.
Jean-Paul ran next to Dinah. Huntress knocked two of the guys. Another one attacked her and she hit him. A second man held her by her back. She raised again both legs and kicked one of the men in the stomach harder. She released the hold and began to fight against the men.
"Wow" Jean-Paul exclaimed surprised "Who is she?"
Dinah didn't answer, she was worried, if she fought, he would discover her. Huntress was fighting against five men. Suddenly she saw one of the men that was in the floor, took a gun and pointed her at the back. The brunette was busy fighting and she didn't see him.
Jean-Paul observed distracted the ability of Huntress amazed. Dinah raised her arm and she pushed the hand of the man and detour the shot; he didn't saw her.

Huntress waited a few second looking they escape and walked to Dinah.
"Thanks, are you okay?" she asked helping her to stand up.
"Yes. you were on time." Dinah said.
"Do you know each other?" Jean-Paul asked surprised.
Dinah felt disturbed. Huntress didn't mind the question, she glared at him, something in that guy didn't like her.
"Yes." Dinah answered "she help me some times before."
"Wow, who are you?" Jean-Paul asked surprised to Huntress.
"Who are those guys? Why they were looking for you?" Huntress asked Jean- Paul.
"I don't know,"
"Hey, I don't like the liars!" Huntress said, "They called you by your name and the almost kill her."
"Huntress don't be rude!" Dinah said.
"I'm not rude, I just try to be 'persuasive'."
"You are Huntress?" he asked surprised.
"Yes, I'm Huntress, now answer me. Who are those men?"
"My father is important. they try to kidnap me. sorry Dinah if I not told you this, I don't like that the people be my friend just because of my father."
"Who is your father?" Dinah asked.
"Is an important business man from Los Angeles." Jean-Paul felt uncomfortable "Those men are following me, I come here trying to hide of them, but they found me."
"Why they want kidnap you?" Huntress looked him with distrust.
".It's a long story." Jean-Paul examined Huntress "You aren't a normal girl. how you could do that?"
"Professional secrets."

"Finishing a job, what happen?"
::A robbery in the eight avenue.::
"On my way"
"¿She had a com set?" Jean-Paul said "That is cool! Who is she talking to?"
".I guess it's her boss" Dinah raised her elbows.
"I don't have a boss" Huntress said.
"Well, maybe was your conscience. or are you going to tell me that you don't have one?"
"Very funny. Better go home, it's late and those guys would back. Take a taxi." Huntress looked Jean-Paul "Later we talk." She jumped to the stairway and later to the rooftop of the building.
"She is amazing." Jean-Paul observed her "Who is she?"
"A crime -fighter, let's go Jean-Paul."
"Is she your friend?"
"Yes. I see her often."
"Talk me about her, she fights amazing, jump so high."
"Jean-Paul, take me to my home, before we talk about Huntress' secrets, I think that you must talk to me about your 'secrets'"
