Barbara tried to convince Helena to go to her bedroom, but the brunette was obstinate and wanted stay on the balcony. It was late and she was tired. Helena spent most of her nights awake, jumping on rooftops and she was enjoying the night after several days of being closed inside the Clocktower. Barbara was completely befuddled as to why the brunette hadn't tried to escape or run away; maybe she felt comfortable there after that long day that she had been hiding.

She yawned while the brunette continued her talk with the stars. Diana smiled.

"You are tired."

"Sorry." Barbara yawned again, covering her mouth. "I think I am."

"Go to sleep."

"I can't." Barbara smiled, lightly looking at her protégé purring at the sky. "She is happy now."

Diana crossed her arms and looked at her, too. "Yes, she is, I can take care of her. Let me take her and give her a turn flying around."

"Thanks, princess, but it is one o'clock and..."

"Don't worry, I can do it and later I'll take to her room. I'm sure she will enjoy flying around the city a few minutes."

"Okay." Barbara nodded smiling and touched the princess' hand. "Thanks, Diana."

"No need for thanks, it's a pleasure." The amazon walked toward Helena and sat next to her. "Would you like a small turn flying around?"

Helena cocked her head.

"Come on, stand up." The princess stood up at the cornice taking her hand and making her stand up. She passed her right arm around her waist.

Helena looked at her arm without understanding what she was doing.

"You'll like this."

"Urghh?" the brunette grunted.

The amazon flew over the balcony, Helena hissed and hugged her frightened, looking down. Diana laughed. "Don't worry, you are safe," she said to the girl, who meowed holding her strongly. "Look down, isn't beautiful?"

Helena slowly began to trust and enjoyed the flight, fascinated at looking at the city from the sky; she never had seen her city, her place in that way. Diana began to play with her flying down and moving up suddenly; Helena laughed her staccato purr.

"See?" the amazon said to her. "I told you that you'd love this."

They flew around the outskirts a few minutes, between buildings and parks.

Helena's senses turned on, she hissed angrily and looked around. Diana didn't understand her change. Helena looked over Diana's shoulder and growled loudly. The amazon without hesitation, suddenly moved abruptly down, in time to avoid being hit in the back by one of Circe's big eagles.

She looked back and saw the big bird. "Thanks, Helena," she said, when Helena growled angrily again.

"I knew you would come back." She heard Circe's voice and stopped her flight. The sorceress was there, a few meters near her. "I saw you flying a few minutes ago and I knew you would do it. Hey... I see you brought your little friend with you. Good, we'll have a fun time."

Helena growled loudly at the woman. Diana never expected to find her in that moment, a bad one. "Okay, this is between you and me now."

"Of course." Circe threw a blast of light at her.

Wonder Woman raised her bracelet to avoid it and flew down quickly; she couldn't fight with Helena next to her. She moved in circles to avoid the attack of the sorceress. She moved inside a forest and landed, putting the brunette on the ground. "Stay here and don't move," she ordered.

Helena growled angrily and pushed her to the side. Diana fell backwards, disoriented. She saw the brunette jumping against a beast that had appeared suddenly at her back, stopping it from hitting her.

"Damn..." The princess of Themyscira stood up and realized they were surrounded by many of Circe's beasts. Helena had knocked one out and crouched on the floor in a defensive position.

"Nice..." Circe laughed. "Your friend is the one that was affected by my potion? How could that be?"

"Leave her out of this." The amazon pointed at her. "This is our fight."

"Yes, as long as you live, my power, my divine essence is in jeopardy. By the soul of Hecate, the princess of Themyscira shall die. Get her!"

The beasts attacked her. Helena was fast and agile and avoided all the punches and kicks. Diana was hitting and punching the powerful beasts with all her strength. One of the beasts caught her throat with her tail, choking her, it pulled her back and smashed her hard onto the ground. The beast fell over her, kicking her gut.

Helena felt anger overtake her when she saw the beasts attacking the amazon. She punched the beast that was in front of her and jumped to kick two more. She almost flew and fell over the beast that was shocking the princess, hitting it with both fists on the back of the head. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. She jumped toward the other beast and trapped its head between her legs.

The amazon stood up immediately and taking the arm of one of the beasts, she used it as a stick and began to turn in cicles to hit the other ones. The beast began to circle her again and she jumped outside the mortal circle that they were creating around her.

Circe frowned. "Seems as if Diana's destruction will require all my attention..." She raised her hand and threw a blast at her that smashed against one of the beasts. Wonder Woman turned and faced her. She flew toward her and Circe attacked again but the amazon stopped all her shots with her bracelets. One of them pushed her back making her fell backwards.

She grabbed her arm, it hurt. Suddenly, she saw a big tail falling over her, she raised her arm in time to stop the impact against her. She felt the pain had increased in her arm. She knocked the beast out with her good arm.

Circe raised her hands and talked loudly in greek. The amazon saw more beasts approaching. She would be in trouble and, without hesitation, she turned and flew toward Helena who was circled by many of them. She was fighting hard against the beasts; she didn't want that Circe to hurt Barbara's protégé. She took her by her waist with her good arm and moved far from the place. Helena grunted in protest, she wanted to attack those beasts, she struggled, trying to free herself from the amazon's embrace, but Diana held her strongly.

"What? Are you running away?" Circe watched her, shocked. "Stop her now!!" she shouted to her beasts.

Wonder Woman flew low, but the eagles followed her closely. She made some quick turns trying to avoid them, but was unsuccessful. She moved toward New Gotham Bay as fast as she could.

"I'm sorry, Helena, third time in one day... hold your breath!" she shouted sinking in the cold water of the bay. The eagles couldn't follow her and began to circle the place, trying to find the amazon. Circe arrived a few seconds later, followed by some of her beasts. She angrily cursed the amazon and sent three of her beasts to look for her.

The amazon swam as fast as she could, trying to get as far away as possible to avoid being found and avoid drowning the girl. A few miles away, the amazon moved her head out of the water, Helena coughed and hissed at the same time, angry. Tht was the worst of all the baths that they had given her. The water was freezing. Diana made a sign at her to keep silenct. She looked back, they had lost the sorceress. She helped Helena to climb on some rocks, following her. Helena was shivering and growling in disgust. Diana moved up and held her hurt arm with her hand.

Helena looked at her and hissed, annoyed; she knew the woman was injured and it bothered her. She crouched, looking around for the woman and her beast. Diana took her arm and forced her to sit. "Not now, Helena," she said. "Not now, we need to go back"

Barbara was in the kitchen, making coffee, when she heard the balcony door open and the Helena's growl; she recognized her sound; she was annoyed. Diana was almost pushing her in. She looked back and saw both women walking inside, soaked. "Hey, what happened?"

"Circe..." Diana answered, looking upstairs "She tried to trap us."

"There are towels in the infirmary in the first locker," Barbara said, taking the intercom to call Dinah, before wheeling toward the elevator.

Helena growled again, looking at the glass of the Clocktower.

"Inside, I said!" Diana shouted at her. The brunette grumbled and went to sit under the clock mechanism.

Barbara arrived a few seconds later. She examined some bruises and a light cut over Diana's brow. "Are you all right?" she asked.

"Yes... We are okay. Helena is just annoyed, she wanted to keep fighting against the Circe's beast but she was over us. I needed to escape.. She fights really well but Circe is not a good enemy."

Barbara noticed the amazon had her arm bent toward her waist. "You are hurt. Let me check you."

"It's nothing... just a hard blow."

"Doesn't matter, let me see you," Barbara said to her.

"Uhh... ohhh..." Dinah walked in and looked at Helena, who was drenched and was licking her hand under the clock mechanism. "She was again dirty from chocolate?"

"No, I had to dive into New Gotham Bay and we took a cold bath." Diana explained.

"You two need a warm bath, you are freezing," Barbara said, looking the brunette. "Dinah, please dry Helena and check why she is licking her hand. I guess she is hurt."

Dinah took a towel and sat next to Helena, she put the towel around her neck and took her hand gently. Helena growled in protest and pulled her hand back.

"Sorry mate." Dinah said, drying her hair gently. "Come on, let me see your hand." Dinah took it again and pulled it slowly, this time Helena let her see the scratch. "Uhhh... it's an ugly wound, we need to bandage this." She looked at Barbara. "Looks as if something bit her." Helena pulled her hand away again and kept licking it.

"Don't let her lick it. Bring her here," she ordered Dinah.

"Oh, sorry," the princess apologized. "I didn't..."

The redhead turned to Diana. "Don't worry, it's normal in a fight. You are okay, as you said, it was just the blow, but you will feel better if I immobilize your arm tonight and if we put some antibiotic on your wounds. But first take a warm bath, okay?"

"Okay..."

Dinah sat Helena on the stretcher. She meowed when Dinah moved her hand to stop her from licking. She pulled her hand away.

"Helena, that's disgusting, don't do that," Dinah said. Her friend meowed again in protest. "I know it hurts, but licking it won't help you."

Diana stood up and went to Helena; she smiled at her, touching her hurt hand. "Thanks so much. You are brave; now be nice, let her bandage your hand." Helena just meowed. "Good girl."

Barbara gave Dinah a small bottle with antibiotic and cotton. "Help Diana while I work with Helena."

"Okay." Dinah said, and went with the amazon to her room. Barbara put her gloves on and wheeled next to her protégé. She opened the bottle of alcohol and put it on the stretcher. Helena smelled it and protested with a low growl. She knew she wasn't going to like that. Barbara tried to take her hand but Helena hid it with her other hand pulling both back.

"Come on, Helena. It's not good for you to lick it." Barbara said softly. "Let me clean your wound." The brunette hesitated. "Come on, let me help you," Barbara insisted. The brunette meowed and the redhead smiled taking her hand again, gently. "I'm not going to hurt you."

Helena finally let her take her hand. "Uhhh... It's an ugly bite, but nothing serious. Well, we need to disinfect this first."

"Urghhh?" The brunette watched her.

Barbara took the alcohol and soaked the cotton with it. Helena tried to figure out what she was doing. "This will hurt a bit..."

Dinah was seated on the Diana's bed, waiting for her to leave the bathroom so she could help her bandage her arm. She heard the loud meow of Helena: she ran outside. She stopped at the entrance to the lab and saw Barbara looking up. Helena was hissing annoyed crouched over the rail.

"Helena!" the red head shouted, but the brunette hissed again and licked her hand. "Don't lick your hand!"

"Antiseptic?" the blonde asked, walking toward her mentor.

"Alcohol."

"I see." Dinah looked up too. "Helena, come here!"

The brunette made a guttural sound that they recognized as protest.

"I know it hurts, but we need to disinfect it!" Barbara said to her.

Helena turned her back to them, growling, while she kept licking her hand.

"Mmm, I guess she doesn't want to come down," Dinah noted.

"Oh God!" Barbara rubbed her temples. "We need to bathe her again or she will catch a cold, we need to bandage her hand... ideas, Dinah?"

"Where is the dart gun?" the teen asked.
