Dinah kept holding Helena, rocking her back and forth sobbing. This couldn't be happening. She felt her heart break. She brushed Helena's hair and moved her head slowly to the floor. Gordon took her shoulders. The girl locked her eyes on Dr. Destiny. She stood up and walked toward him.

"Dinah?" Gordon asked.

She felt her mind blur. She used her mind power to move the heavy library that was over Destiny, who was unconscious on the floor.

"Now you son of a bitch," she clenched her teeth, "If this doesn't work, I promise you that I will kill you, no matter what the damn speech about how 'we don't kill' says." She pressed the Materioptikon with her hand, closing her eyes. She wished- wished with all her heart, with all her soul. She could do it. She could bring her life back. The shadows covered her.

-------------------------

Dinah appeared inside an elegant office and looked around stunned. Where was she? She shook her head; traveling that way was like being inside a wash machine. She rubbed her eyes. That wasn't what she was expecting.

"Lady? May I help you?"

Dinah turned and saw a man in an elegant suit standing up at the doorframe. She didn't know what to say, and looked around again confused. "Where am... I?"

"My office... I'm a lawyer. May I help you?"

Dinah didn't understand what was happening. "I..." She heard the door behind her open. She turned, Dr. Destiny was there.

What are you doing here?" he asked angrily.

"It's the same question I wanna ask you" she growled.

The lawyer face paled when he saw Destiny. "Who... are you?" he mumbled.

"As soon as I kill the girl, I'll kill you!" Destiny stormed inside the office "You are not going to prevent him from finding Huntress!"

"He?" Dinah ducked to avoid a blow and rolled to the other side of the room. She hit her back against a wall and looked up at the university degree on it stood: "Lawyer".

Dinah looked at the elegant man feeling her heart jump. "You are Selina Kyle's Lawyer..."

"Yes... who is he? Who are you?" the lawyer stepped back scared.

Dinah understood that she had arrived before Destiny killed the lawyer and sent some one to take Helena far away from the city; before he changed the past. She faced the tall villain "It's time to go back."

"Stupid kid, I don't know how you got here but I'll kill you." Destiny laughed.

"I'm sorry, you're wrong." She raised her hand and showed him the Materioptikon.

"What?" he looked at his neck, the ruby wasn't there.

Dinah pushed him against the wall using her mind power. "She is dead because of you!"

He tried to stand up and she raised her hand. He felt someone had grab him by his throat.

"Now..." Dinah growled "You are going to back to jail and I'm going home..." she threw him against the wall with her mind power. She ran toward him and took his hand. Both of them disappeared. The lawyer was stunned. Suddenly the place was empty again. He scratched his head. He didn't understand what had happened.

::We have a breaking story: A fatal stabbing in Downtown New Gotham.:: the news on television grabbed his attention ::Reports are coming in that the victim is the infamous Selena Kyle, the mysterious and beautiful businesswoman, once accused of leading a double life as the jewel thief called CATWOMAN.:: he shook his head when he heard that name and walked toward the television.

-----------------------

Dinah screamed and woke up abruptly. She sat and looked around scared, sweat was covering her face. She was in her room. She wiped her face with her hands. She felt a bandage on her head. She sat on the bed and moved the sheets to a side and looked around again. She stood up and walked to the door, when it opened suddenly. Barbara appeared in her wheelchair.

"Dinah, are you okay?" she asked. "I heard your scream."

Dinah looked at her; she had her old Mickey Mouse shirt, and her eyes fixed on it.

"Dinah easy." Barbara noticed that she was breathing hard, and looked confused and scared.

"Where am I?"

Barbara took her hand. "Clock Tower, Dinah calm down... what happened?"

"Dr. Destiny?"

"He's in jail. Don't worry..." Barbara squeezed her hand "You have been unconscious for almost 24 hours."

"Me?" Dinah brushed her hair "Unconscious?" She suddenly remembered. "Where is Helena?"

"Dinah... please, calm down. Go to bed"

"Where is Helena?" Dinah shouted.

"Dinah!"

"Is she dead?"

Barbara looked at her shocked.

"Is she dead Barbara?"

"No, no, of course not! Please calm down!"

"Where is she? Please tell me!" Barbara could read fear in her eyes.

"She is sleeping like a log in the living room. We were awake keeping an eye on you since yesterday night. She fell asleep a few minutes ago. I went to the kitchen for coffee when I heard your scream. What happened to you?"

Dinah ran outside the room.

"Dinah!" Barbara followed her worried.

Dinah ran through the corridors, and stood up at the entrance of the living room. The television was on. Several dirty glasses and half a peanut butter sandwich was on the table in the living room. Helena was in deep sleep on the couch with her legs over the side. Dinah felt greatly relived inside and tears on her eyes.

Helena stirred over the couch and purring like a big black cat, rolled to her side. The blond girl jumped over her. "Helena!"

The brunette abruptly woke up when she felt the weight of the teen over her. "Uh? Hey!" She didn't know what was happening.

"Kid!" she said recognizing her partner. "You're awake!" Dinah hugged her thigh sobbing. Helena hesitated a few seconds before hugging her back. She looked at Barbara disconcertedly when the red head wheeled inside. Barbara shrugged her shoulders and moved her head indicating to Helena she was as confused as her.

"Dinah its okay, its okay..." Helena brushed her hair "What happened to you? Why are you crying?"

"You are alive." she laughed. "You are alive."

"Yes, I am..."

Barbara wheeled toward her and brushed her hair. "Dinah please, you're scaring me.."

Dinah felt incredibly happy. She turned and jumped over Barbara; the red head looked at Helena concerned.

"Maybe it's her period." Helena said raising her eyebrow.

"Dinah," Barbara moved her back "Please, calm down. What happened to you?"

"I'm glad to see you two; the last months have been terrible..." Dinah said.

"Last months?" Helena frowned.

"Dinah," Barbara explained "you were fighting with Helena against Dr. Destiny. You jumped over him and both of you disappeared. Until your signal appeared on the computer system; you were lost for more than three minutes. Just three minutes, what happened?"

"Three minutes?" Dinah asked.

"Yes...and then suddenly you appeared again..."

"You fell out of nowhere." Helena said "You hit the ground hard and was knocked out."

"And him?" The teen asked.

"He's now inside Arkham." Barbara took her hand "We were waiting for you to wake up and explain what happened. You had the Materioptikon. Now it's in a safe place. So what happened Dinah?"

Dinah remembered she had wished to come back to where all this had started and that he would be secure in jail. She smiled and laughed.

"Dammit," Helena stood up nervously, "Something is happening to her."

"No, no I'm okay..." the blonde said.

"Dinah, one of your sleeves had blood on it." Barbara explained, "Helena thought you were hurt. We checked you out, but you didn't have any wounds."

"And your clothes were different." Helena stood up behind the red head

Dinah looked at her friends in silence for a few seconds. "It's a long story."

"Well, I'm awake, let's hear it." Helena sat on the couch again.

"I was out for two months, not three minutes." Dinah also sat on the couch.

"Now I'm starting to feel worried." The brunette said to Barbara.

"Helena, let her talk."

"Well," Dinah started, "I jumped over him..."

-----------------------

The next day at the Clocktower. Helena yawned and walked in, looking for Barbara. Delphi was on, so Barbara had been working there for sure, but she wasn't there. Dinah wasn't around either. She scratched her cheek and walked toward the balcony. Her feelings were right, her mentor was there.

"Hey Barbara." She greeted her. "What are you doing here?"

"Getting some fresh air." Barbara smiled rubbing her hands. "Sleep well?"

"Yes, like a big bear." She stood up resting one of her feet over the balcony. "How's the kid?"

"She is okay. Right now she's sleeping... she is exhausted."

Helena cocked her head. "She still thinks that all that happened?"

"Yes."

"The part where I tried to show her how to smoke was funny. What do you think really happened to her?"

"Helena... she is not lying."

"Come on, don't tell me you believe it." Helena put her hands in her pockets and sat down looking at her "She just hit the floor too hard. I'm glad she has a big head."

Barbara smiled. "That was an evil comment."

"She has a big head."

"What if Dinah is telling the truth and she really has rescued our present?" Barbara challenged her.

"You can't be serious." Helena glared at her.

"What if...?"

"It can't be, is just that."

"It was your blood."

Helena frowned. "What?"

"The blood on her sleeve was yours. I examined it this morning. She is not lying, in some way you were dead in that present." Barbara rested her back on her chair.

"You scared me..." Helena didn't know what to say. "You are joking."

"No. Want to see the test?"

"You know I don't understand a word of that graphics and numbers."

"I know your blood. It was yours." Barbara moved her hand in her pcoket and took out a small red crystal. "And I found this in her jacket."

Helena fixed her eyes on the small gem. She looked the red head concerned.

"Materioptikon." Barbara said playing with it between her fingers. "It's the small piece that was broken from the original one. I analyzed it. She didn't dream this."

"Oh damn..."

"So? What do you think now?"

"This is crazy."

"But it happened."

Helena took the gem between her fingers and looked at it in silence. Both kept silent for several seconds before Helena asked, "Do you think that really I would prefer to be a burglar than... the thing that I am now?."

"Dinah said you loved it... Its hard to say; the circumstances were different."

"But the feeling would be the same."

"I prefer this present." Barbara smiled tat her "You are here, free, alive and stubborn as always."

"Good point. This is... odd, freaky, it scares me."

"Me too, if she had failed... you wouldn't be here now."

Helena felt a shiver. "I dunno what to think."

"Me neither, but more than ever I feel glad that she is here with us." Barbara smiled.

"Right, maybe I shouldn't bother her so much.."

"Good idea, you love to annoy her."

"Oh, I don't annoy her. I play with her.."

"Sure, sure, just keep in mind next time, that the "kid" saved her old sister."

"Don't' tell her that or I'll have to hear that speech all month... Hey, I'm not old."

"True, you are a big child. Lets go to dinner." Barbara wheeled inside the Clock Tower.

Helena followed her. "So.. I was a cool burglar?"

"Helena..."

"Just asking."

-------------------------------

Dinah sat on the coach in the living room of the Clock Tower. All the lights were off. It had been a nice dinner. She looked distractedly at the big Clock Tower window lost in her thoughts.

"Hey, how are you?" the lights suddenly turned on.

Dinah hadn't heard the noise of the electric chair being so lost in her thoughts. She turned her head and smiled. "Hey."

"Do you feel okay?" she looked at her watch. It was 4 o'clock in the morning.

"Yes, yes... I was just thinking."

"About what may I ask?" Barbara wheeled next to her.

"An idea that came to mind a few days ago." She rested her head on the coach.

"And that is bothering you. I noticed you have been distracted the last few days."

"Yes." Dinah fixed her eyes on her.

"What is?"

"Do you think that with the Materioptikon I could change the past?"

"I don't understand." Barbara frowned.

"I could avoid the Joker shooting you... and Helena's mother getting killed."

The red head looked at her in silence.

"Can you imagine that? You would still be walking, being Batgirl and Helena would live happily with her mother."

Barbara was shocked by the idea.

"Yeah." Dinah said with sadness "It's the idea that I've been thinking about. Why I didn't I do it? Would I have the right to change the rules of destiny? I have been seeing so many things that keep going even though some one changed the past. Like the care that you have for Helena, and the love that you feel for each other; and the attraction of Reese and Helena. Even Helena's fascination with Poptarts was alive!!"

Barbara observed her in silence.

"That makes me think that I didn't have the right to change the past, even if it would mean your happiness; we can't play with destiny."

"And you are right..." Barbara took her hand.

"But hurts because maybe I would make you two happy." Tears began to fall from Dinah's eyes. It's a big temptation you know? See you walking again, seeing Helena happy with her mother." she said frustrated. "How many lives have we saved? Ten? Forty? Maybe a hundred? All those lives are reason enough to stop Helena's mother from being murdered and to give you off the opportunity to walk again?? Isn't that fair?"

"Dinah." Barbara took her cheeks between her hands "Listen to me... if Helena's mom wasn't murdered and Joker didn't shoot me, you would never have found us. We never would have been a team. Instead you might have been lost in some place or dead. You never could know what could have happened, but you can't play with destiny. You time traveled trying to fix the disorder that Destiny created. You did your job! You didn't make a mistake"

Dinah hugged her sobbing. "I'm sorry Barbara, I'm sorry. I would have liked to help you."

The red head hugged her back "Don't worry, you did it by bringing our present back. I'm very proud of you."

"You are?"

"Dinah, you did an excellent job, we were lost in the caprice of a lunatic and you brought us back. Thanks so much." She rubbed her back.

"But I..."

"No," Barbara interrupted "you did your job. You did the right thing. You are a great hero."

Dinah moved back and looked her strangely. "Am I?"

"Yes." Barbara smiled wiping her tears with her fingers "You are. You are."
