A Hero's Dealing
Chapter 2
"Do you really think you're capable of taking care of a teenager Ms. Kyle?" Marion Cannon, Dinah's social worker asked.
"Of course I am," Helena said with a glare, "I love Dinah, I would do anything for her."
"Ms. Kyle you are aware that while you're working at a bar and living in an apartment, you're not providing the best environment for Miss Lance to live in," Mrs. Cannon said snootily, she did not like the look of this girl.
"Barbara left me her place, and jobs can be changed," Helena said with an icy glare, this lady was starting to piss her off.
"I can personally vouch for my daughter, Barbara did a remarkable job with her and I am sure Helena will do a great job with Dinah. Besides as always my butler Alfred will be available to help them any time needed," Bruce Wayne spoke up, he may not have been there for Helena before, but if Barbara's death had taught him anything, it was that life is short, and he needed to make the most out of it.
"My boyfriend Jesse Reese will be helping out too," Helena said, "he's a cop."
"Ah yes," Mrs. Cannon said disapprovingly while thinking, 'I'll bet they're having premarital relations too, people these days, they have no morals.' "Well Ms. Kyle, since Ms. Gordon did leave Dinah to you, I have no reason to take her away from you, however, one wrong move and Dinah will be free from you faster then you will believe," Mrs. Cannon warned.
"Barbara had faith in me Mrs. Cannon, I won't let her down, or Dinah," Helena said, "Barbara and Dinah have been my world. You may not think I'm capable of taking care of Dinah, oh hell even I don't think I'm capable of it sometimes, but I'm going to succeed, because that's what Barbara, and my mom taught me how to do."
Helena got up and walked out of the room, while Bruce stayed behind. "My name is Bruce Wayne, that is my daughter, and Dinah is in her care, that's the way it has to be, that's the only way they will be happy. If you try and take happiness away from my daughter and Dinah, I will crush you like a bug Mrs. Cannon, and that's a promise."
Bruce exited the office and found Helena talking on the cell phone Alfred had bought her for her last birthday. "What's going on?" Bruce asked worriedly when he saw the look on Helena's face.
"It's Dinah, she's missing," Helena said, "Look I need you to go back to the Clocktower and help Alfred and Reese to get the Delphi working. Once you get it working let me know, Dinah's signal will be on there, I'm going to go look for her right now."
"Shouldn't more than one of us go?" Bruce asked.
"No I need to do this alone, Dinah needs me, just me, not you, not Alfred and not Reese, she needs me to find her. She needs me to take care of her," Helena said before taking off.
As soon as Helena got outside she started running off to Dinah's favorite hangout places, waiting anxiously for any sign of Dinah, or any sign that the Delphi was working again. After about an hour, the situation was starting to look bleak, she had asked Gabby for any clue as to where Dinah had gone but Gabby couldn't think of anywhere that Helena hadn't already checked. As the sun started setting, it came to Helena; she hadn't checked the place that Barbara died. Calling Reese to tell her where she was going, Helena ran towards the docks. Ducking under the police tape, Helena walked into the warehouse, uncaring of any surveillance that may be hidden. Helena looked around hoping to see any sign that Dinah had been there, any sign that would lead her to her friend. That's when she noticed the back door, it was wide open, Helena stepped outside and sighed in relief. Dinah was there, sitting on a rock crying, she looked so helpless and full of grief, Helena knew the feeling. Helena walked over and stood behind Dinah, "come on kid, it's time to go home."
