Barbara attached some cables to Helena's chest and then turned on the monitors. Helena fixed her eyes on the ceiling. These test were boring; maybe was the most boring part of the job; she preferred be hanging of a building two hours in the middle of a rain than thirty minutes there.

"Okay, this won't take long," the redhead said while she examined Helena's eyes with a light. She looked her Heart rhytm on the monitor, it was disturbed. "Hey calm down, what happen?"

"I don't know." Helena said "I told you I feel something."

"Breath deep. Is just a test." Barbara smiled. "This is not the first time."

"Yea, I know. What did you find today?" Helena asked crossing her fingers.

"Something really interesting, I'll show it to you in a minute." Barbara wheeled toward the monitors and the tray that sat next to it. "How was your day?" she asked as she began to prepare a very strong drug to would her awake but leave her defenseless as a kitten at the same time. This would give her time to install the device without any complications.

"I was working all morning. Leonard had us taking inventory of all the wines, liquor and glasses. We started working at eight AM. The good news is that I have my night is free."

"That is good." Barbara said finishing mixing some chemicals.

"What is that?" Helena asked.

"Vitamins." Barbara began to fill a syringe.

"Vitamins?" Helena frowned.

"The level of your red corpuscles is a bit low." Barbara explained wheeling up to her. "Roll up your sleeve."

"You never..."

"Helena, we have a lot of work to do, come on."

"Okay." Helena extended her arm and rolled up her sleeve.

Barbara took her arm and injected her in the vein. That had been too easy. "You will feel a little dazed so don't try standing up," she said taking out the syringe and swiping a cotton swab with alcohol over the wound. "Keep your arm up." Barbara put the syringe on a tray and moved toward the cabinet.

"Do you have an idea about who it could be?" Helena asked rolling down her sleeve.

"Well, I had been investigating." Barbara took out a box. "The criminal seems to know very well just what he was doing."

"We need find a device that give us a trail to follow?" the brunette stared at the ceiling feeling dumb.

"Well yes, it's a high tech device and very uncommon." Barbara put the box on the table "The person that built it is a genius."

Helena blinked. "Only an evil person would come up with a brain implant that can be used to control someone."

"He must have very good medical knowledge about human body and the function of the brain. It's a strong possibility our mastermind would be a doctor." Barbara watched Helena, noticing that the drug was taking affect.

"Maybe a frustrated scientist."

"Could be, look at this." Barbara showed her an odd looking gun.

"What is that?" Helena shook her head. She felt her mind burring.

"The friend that I went to see this morning gave me this. It's a kind of dart gun, it's uses air to shoot. The person who is behind this uses this to install the device in the brain of the people he wants to control. You place it on the back of the neck of the intended victim and pull the trigger. The device is installed immediately." Barbara smiled because Helena was beginning to look dazed.

"Who... is your friend?" Helena began to have problems speaking. She realized that, wasn't normal "Barbara som. something is wrong."

"My friend works at the Police station." Barbara continued working with out listen her. She just needed wait a few more seconds, that drugs was fast.

"Barbara... What did you give me?" Helena tried to stand up. Barbara looked her and wheeled to her to push her down.

"Hey, easy." She said "Where are you going?"

Helena felt her mind fuzzy. "This is... I don't feel so good."

"I told you will feel a little dumb." Barbara explained with calm voice.

"What kind of vitamins are they?" Helena closed her eyes feeling her senses going numb. "Barbara that... that wasn't vitamins."

"Don't worry, you will feel okay in a few minutes." Barbara put the pistol on the table and took an iron collar out of the box. "Roll over onto your stomach please."

The kid automatically obeyed. "Barbara... I'm feel worse...."

Barbara wheeled toward her with the collar in her hand. "Just one last test."

"What..?" Helena mumbled.

Barbara stopped at her side. "How do you feel now?" Helena didn't notice that Barbara had the pistol and the collar on her lap.

"What... did you give me?... That wasn't vitamins..."

"I needed to give you a strong drug to help you to recover faster."

"Recover. what is wrong?"

"Relax Helena, everything is okay. Don't move." Barbara took the collar and put it around her neck.

"What... are you doing?" Helena asked shivering at the touch of the cold metal around her neck and moved back. She tried to focus Barbara. But was impossible.

"Helena, Just relax. I'm going to check your neural responses." Barbara said with soft voice trying to tranquilize her "You are too nervous.

"I."

"Helena, what happen with you? Let me finish this and we could go to eat." Barbara said pushing her back slowly. "Lie down. That is."

Helena rested her face down the stretcher and closed her eyes. Barbara caressed her hair. "You are so tense. Just relax" She said softly and putting the collar around her neck, she close it. Barbara smiled as Helena did as she was told. Her unfailing trust in her had blinded her. "This device send your brain signals to my computer." She lied.

Helena felt her mind cloud over; she tried to think clearly. Barbara took up the pistol and smiled. Helena was one of those stupid people that trust in people without thinking. She put the muzzle of the gun the hole in the collar.

"I almost finish. It will all be over in a moment." Barbara whispered.

Helena looked out of the corner of her eye and saw the gun "Barbara!" she shouted and swatted her hand. She rolled herself off the stretcher and onto the floor.

"Helena, Come here!" Barbara yelled.

"What... happened to you?" Helena lied backwards and tried to take off the collar moving dumb. "What is this?"

Barbara wheeled over to her. "Helena get back on the stretcher."

"What are.... you trying to do... to me?" Helena rolled over onto her stomach and tried to drag herself away but she couldn't get her arms and legs to cooperate. She was totally baffled by Barbara's odd behavior.

"Keeping you quiet." Barbara threw herself on top of her and pinned her arms behind her. Helena in her weakened state put up very little resistance.

"Why do you always have to do things the hard way? I just wanted to plant the device in you. It's fast and won't hurt you." Barbara said angry.

"Device?" Helena mumbled trying unsuccessfully to free herself. "What are... you talking about?"

Barbara turned on her mic, "Mad Hatter I have her under control. The tower is secured."

"Barbara!" Helena struggled weakly in desperation to free herself. Something had happened to her mentor. The redhead had all of her weight on her. She restrained her hands behind her back with one hand and picked up the pistol with the other one.

"Mad Hatter will be here soon with his henchmen. We are going to use Clock Tower as our base of operation to take control the city. Now you will help me to trap Dinah. I just need install this device in your head," Barbara said to her as she raised the gun.

"Dinah?" Helena felt a chill in her back. "You can't."

"I can. It will be as easy as was to trap you." The redhead put the muzzle of the gun in the hole of the collar. "This won't hurt."

With a deal of great effort Helena hit Barbara's arm with her elbow. The gun flew out of her hand crashing against the wall. It misfired as it fell broken to the floor.

"Don't be stupid Helena!" Barbara shouted pressing her face against the floor by the neck. She didn't have another device so now she was forced to wait until Mad Hatter arrived at Clock Tower to get another one.

"Barbara... wake up..." Helena whispered.

"What are you doing?" Dinah shouted, frightened by the sight of seeing Helena lying on the floor with Barbara on top of her. The redhead turned when she heard Dinah's voice call out from the elevator. The blonde ran toward her.

As Dinah rushed over, Barbara shouted, "She is out control. The Mad Hatter implanted a device in her."

"What?" Dinah kneeled and helped her to hold her on the floor.

"Dinah..." Helena mumbled. It was too dangerous for Dinah to stay. She had to get her safely away before the Mad Hatter arrived. She tried to move but Dinah kept her lying down. "Dinah. please."

Dinah looked around finally noticing the med lab was a mess as she helped to restrain Helena.

"Help me to take her to the cell." Barbara explained using her hands to climb up into her chair.

"To the cell?"

"No." Helena released her arm from Dinah's held. She knew what place was that one. "Not there."

The blond hugged her strongly. "Easy Helena.." Dinah looked at Barbara strangely. The cell was a special room designed by Barbara to contain strong people. She had used Helena to test the strength the chains and bars. Now she will see how well it will work.

Barbara saw the confusion on Dinah's face. She took her hand. "Dinah, she attacked me. You know that by herself she is a lethal weapon. The only way I was able to stop her was by drugging her. The Mad Hatter ordered her to kill us. I need to keep her and us safe until I find out how to remove the device."

"She...is lying" Helena whispered, unsuccessfully trying to stand up with Dinah on her back.

"Trust me Dinah," Barbara said with sorrow ringing in her voice. Help me and I'll explain everything to you. We need to help her. Please."

Dinah nodded, she kneeled down next to Helena "I'm sorry Hel".

"Dinah" Barbara said, "She going to try to lie to you, don't listen."

Dinah nodded. She took Helena by her armpits and began to drag her toward the cell.

"She's the one lying," Helena mumbled. "Run Dinah... he is coming..."

"Everything will be okay. Don't worry Huntress" Dinah said dragging with her to the cell. Helena tried to move but now her arms and legs were dumb. Dinah opened the electric cell and leaned Helena against the wall.

"...She wants you too...." Helena mumbled while Dinah moved her hands back and chained her. She put another chain between her ankles. The brunette tried to fight but she was still overwhelmed by the drug. Dinah had no trouble handling her.

"You will be okay." Dinah said worriedly.

Helena felt helpless. Barbara had deadened all her senses with the drug. She knew she couldn't escape from there. Dinah finished chaining her. She looked at her with sadness and touched her face. "Trust in Barbara" she said in soft voice: "Ill back later."
