A/N: Final part dude's. I wrote this kinda quickly but I really enjoyed it. This is my second BoP fic and I hope I get the chance to write more and that you'll enjoy reading them. Thanks for all ur reviews. I no it's a bit cheesy but I decided to just do what I'd like to see. Bring Dick in was a surprise and I tried to mix the comic and live versions, I think it went ok. I just hope i didn't alienate any of you who don't read comics. Anyway, I'll shut up. Enjoy the reading.

Part 5

Helena sat at Dinah's side. She still hadn't come round, it was worrying but Barbara had assured her it was just a matter of time.

She sighed. She never did like waiting and she couldn't relax until she saw for herself Dinah was ok.

Sitting in that room she realised how much Dinah had infiltrated her. She'd fought so hard not to let her in but it was all futile, Dinah was just too lovable. She was so innocent, even after the life she'd had.

She was everything Helena could have been if she hadn't let the bitterness take her over. That's why she loved her so much. She could try to be carefree and happy around Dinah but that's what got her shot.

Helena was so scared when she saw Dinah on the ground, bleeding and in pain. She would have done anything to take it away… Even allow Wayne money to take care of her.

Helena found herself stroking Dinah's blonde hair. She knew know one would know so she let her walls down and kissed Dinah on the head before resting her forehead on Dinah's.

Barbara cleared her throat from the entrance and caused Helena to jump half way across the room from fright. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."

Helena felt herself blush, "You didn't, I just… uh, how are you?"

Barbara wheeled further into the room, "I'm ok. Have you gotten any rest since you came round?"

"I don't need to rest."

Barbara raised her eyebrows causing Helena to sigh. "Barbara, I'm fine. I'd rather be here."

Barbara gave in, she knew there was no way she was going to beat Helena's stubbornness. "I'll have Alfred send you in some food then."

Helena just nodded. She could tell Barbara had more to say, "What is it?"

"Sit down." She said as she drove herself in front of Helena. "It's about Dick and I. We're decided to try and be a real couple and he's going to move in here, with us, if you're going to be ok with it."

Helena couldn't help but be a little shocked, she never thought Dick would come back to New Gotham. "You don't have to ask me, I don't live here."

"You're here more than your apartment. This is your home and I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

Helena couldn't help feeling loved. "I don't have a problem with Dick living here. Nightwing helping on sweeps wouldn't be such a bad thing. "

"Really?" Barbara asked hopefully.

Helena smiled, "Yeah. Barbara, you've been sad lately, don't think I haven't noticed but with Dick here, you seem happy. I know how much he means to you and I'm glad you're finally getting together."

Barbara smiled feeling slightly choked up then Helena pulled her into a hug. "Thanks Hel." She whispered. Then thoughtfully added, "Tell her." Before leaving to tell Dick the good news.

Helena sat there stunned for a few minutes. Was she really that transparent? No, she'd made sure she wasn't but Barbara was insightful, she sees things for what they are, it was her job as Oracle after all. But she knew and she wasn't mad or disappointed. It made Helena feels better about her love for the blonde. It wasn't the love of sisters or friends but of partners. She ran a hand through her hair and smiled. Maybe things were finally going to work out for them all.

Helena went back to Dinah's side and took her hands. She was surprised but unbelievably happy when the blonde's hand twitched in her own.

She leaned over the blonde and gently stroked her hair, "Dinah?" She received a groan in response.

She waited as Dinah fought with her grogginess to open her eyes and let them adjust to the light.

"Hey kid." She said gently, glad to see those eyes.

Dinah gave a weak smile. "Hi." She croaked out.

"You ok?"

"Apart from what I think is the gunshot wound, yeah, I think I will be." She answered in the usual Dinah way.

"Are you in pain? I can get Barbara to give you something?" She babbled out.

Dinah let out a pained laugh, "This is a side I have never seen of you." She got more sombre, "I'm ok, though, just a little sore. My head feels all light to."

Helena decided to make the stand. She leaned forward and laid a kiss on her forehead.

Dinah locked eyes with Helena. Something was different. The handholding and the kiss on the head, the general over caring attitude.

"Hel, are you ok?" She asked with a frown.

"Yeah." She answered.

She saw right through that lie. "What is going on?"

"Is it Barbara?" It was then she noticed the bandage on Helena's shoulder under her vest. "What happened?" She asked urgently before shooting up but instantly regretting it as her body screamed out in agony.

Helena eased her back down onto the bed. "Don't move. Everyone is fine. Barbara is happy, I'm healed and you have to rest… You were really hurt Dinah, I thought you were…" Helena didn't finish as she tried to hold back her tears. Why was she doing this? She didn't cry like this but saying that sentence out loud it sank in just how close she came to losing Dinah before she could even tell her how she felt.

Dinah was taken aback. Helena was literally breaking down in front of her because of her. She reached up and moved Helena's hair back from her face then gently pulled her down into a soft hug. "It's ok. I'm right here." She whispered into her ear.

Dinah felt chills as Helena carefully gripped onto her and let her tears fall silently. She found herself whispering calming words and shushing her.

Helena finally pulled back a while later. She avoided Dinah's eyes feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry."

"It's ok. It's good to know you care so much"

Helena finally looked her in the eye. "I do."

Dinah frowned, "Helena… talk to me."

Helena shook her head. "I can't. You have to rest."

"I won't. Not until you tell me what's going on." She said stubbornly.

Helena tried to stare her down for a few minutes until she finally broke. "I love you! Ok? I love you! Now will you get some damn sleep??"

The reaction from Dinah was everything Helena had hoped wouldn't happen. She laughed. She actually laughed at the proclamation of love! Helena stood up and turned around to leave feeling completely hurt and humiliated.

"Helena! Where are you going? Please don't make me chase after you." Helena was now almost out the door so Dinah painfully began to get herself in a sitting position but couldn't help her sounds of pain as she done so.

When she was almost sitting she felt arms around her holding her still. "What are trying to do? Open the wound again?!" Helena shouted as she quickly sat behind Dinah to stop her moving anymore.

Dinah fell into Helena and tried to catch her breath. "You didn't give me a choice."

"What did you expect?" Helena then added under her breath, "You could have let me down gently."

"Who said there would be any letting down?" Dinah asked.

Helena froze. "You… you mean?"

"Yes, I mean. I love you too." Dinah told her.

Helena was overjoyed. She hadn't actually thought Dinah would return the phrase.

Dinah leaned into Helena's embrace and let her head rest on her… girlfriends shoulder. Helena kissed her cheek. "Go to sleep." She whispered into the blonde's ear.

Dinah smiled and closed her eyes, quickly drifting off to sleep.

"I love you." Helena told the sleeping form as she continued to hold her.

Things were definitely going well for them all.

All the despair and fear in the clock tower had been replaced with love and happiness.

For Now.
