Helena waited outside Leslie's office, sipping her coke, she sat on a chair swinging her feet to and fro. Her mother was taking a long time talking to the doctor, but she was entertained with watching cartoons on the television in the waiting room of the hospital. After twenty minutes, the door opened and Selina exited, closing the door.

"Let's go, Hel."

"Why were you in there so long, mom?"

"Oh, your doctor and I were talking about some things."

"My doctor? Is she going to be my doctor?"

"Yes," the blonde smiled at her, "I spoke to you about it. Go say goodbye."

Leslie was looking though her window, she was still stunned from what Selina had told her. She couldn't believe what she had heard. She was so distracted that she didn't hear Helena walking into her office until she pulled on her robe.

"Leslie, thanks, I'm going," the little brunette said.

The doctor blinked and looked at her. How could she not have realised it before. She had his look.

"Leslie?" Curious eyes focused on her.

"Oh yes, Helena," she bent down, "Be good. And remember your mother must come to see me next Tuesday."

"All right."

Leslie hugged her and gave her a kiss on her cheek. Helena kissed her back and ran outside her office. Leslie watched her go. After a few seconds, she shook her head. She started rubbing her temples. Helena was Bruce's daughter?

Leslie smiled to herself remembering her shock after the news. Now, two years later she understood Selina better; she was a good woman and an excellent mother. She always gives her best effort to educate her child. She closed her notebook. It was late and the next day was Bruce's birthday, he had invited her to a breakfast in his mansion.

Cat pupils examined the dark place. It helped her see perfectly well in the middle of the night as if it were day, but in blue and red tones. She examined each corner carefully. She didn't want to be surprised. Slowly, she moved silently out of the place she was hiding in. She kneeled and ran to hide behind a wall. She narrowed her eyes trying to see better. The corridor was clear.

She listened for anything, but there was not a sound. She moved towards the open door at the end of the corridor. She crouched in front of an open room, she looked inside, the room was empty. She made a few more steps to the door that was half-opened in front of her. It could be a trap; she tried to look around it. She didn't want any surprises.

Slowly, she moved inside the room, crawling. Her eyes examined the place, she moved to her right. The place seemed to be empty. Something was wrong. Trying to avoid making a noise, she crawled back.

Suddenly, strong arms grabbed her from behind raised her off the floor. "I got you!"

"Let me go!" Helena yelled.

"You lose again!" Selina giggled.

"You cheated!" the kid struggled to free herself.

"No! I beat you fair and square, you didn't see me in your room… well, I was right there."

"No!"

Selina began to tickle her. The child giggled and freeed herself. Selina brushed her hair back and turned on the corridor light.

"Okay, game over, I win three-one."

"Oh mom! That's not fair!"

"Sure, now, go to sleep." She patted her. "It's late. Tomorrow, we have breakfast."

"Are we going to go to that boring place?" Helena mumbled, walking inside her room.

"You don't know the place and there's going to a lot of children just like you there." Selina undid Helena's bed and pulleded Helena's night shirt from under her pillow.

"Why are there children not like me?" Helena took off her blouse and her pants.

"Because you are special," Selina sat on the bed, "it's a gift, not everyone can be special."

"And why am I half-special?"

"You are not half-special."

"You told me I am, you said I'm half meta because of my dad."

"No, you are special because you are my baby," Selina hugged her and gave her a kiss, "and you are like me."

"Gibson is like me."

"Yes, there are many people like you and me around. Humans, metas, and half-metas, It doesn't make them less or worse, we're all the same. We just have the capability to do things in a different way. But we breathe and feel the same as any human being."

The child cocked her head. "But… I don't understand why we know about them and why humans can't know about us."

"Raise your hands," Selina slid the night shirt over Helena, "people are usually afraid of things they don't understand. So it's better not to scare them."

"Mom… why can't Gibson see at night like me?"

"Because every meta has a different ability, no one has the same."

"But I have yours. You can see at night, too."

"Yes, but I'm your mother." The older woman stood up and Helena climbed on the bed. She covered her with the blankets.

"And what else can you do?" Helena asked.

""Mmm, let me see," Selina sat on the bed again next to her, "I can jump high, climb up buildings easily, I'm strong and… I'm quiet when I walk."

"And why I can't I do all those things??"

"Because I don't know if you will have those skills. It's something no one knows. Maybe you will develop different abilities or maybe not."

"Will I fly?"

Selina laughed and brushed her hair with her hands. "Of course not. People don't fly."

"Maybe I will." Helena said excitedly. "Could I do the things you do when I grow up?"

"I don't know sweety, maybe you will do them, and maybe something more, but I don't know."

"Why not?" She looked at her mom with her big blue eyes.

"Every one of us has a particular ability that develops when we grow. My mom couldn't see at night."

"Oh, I see."

"Now go to sleep," Selina leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Good night, Helena."

The child wrapped her arms around her neck. "Stay."

"You kick at night… so no."

"I promise not to kick you:"

"You kick." Selina undid the child's arms and put them under the blankets.

"I don't kick." Helena jumped on her back hugging her neck. "Please stay, mom."

Selina laughed and sat on the bed. "No, Helena."

"Please." She kissed her on her cheek several times.

"Okay, okay, but I'm going to tie your feet."

"No, you don't want to do it." Helena let herself fall on her pillow.

"Why not?"

"Because you love me too much."

"Are you blackmailing me?"

"No, but I know it."

"All right, I'll be right back, let me change," she stood up and began to unbuttoning her blouse, "and move your zoo out of your bed before I come back or I'll kick all your stuff."

Helena stood up immediately and began to pick up her hippo, her squirrel and some other stuff. "Can Jaçques stay here?" she shouted to her mom running to put her pets on a couch next to the window.

"No! Send him to the couch." Selina said from her room.

She looked at her couch "It's full."

"I'm not going to sleep with any animal."

"He's not an animal! He's Jaçques! He will sleep on my side," Helena said.

"No, I know you, the last time I woke up with his paw on my mouth."

The kid scratched her head. She put Jaçques under the bed and covered it with a small blanket. She jumped on the bed. Selina walked inside brushing her hair in a pony tail.

"Where is Jaçques?"

"In the closet."

"All right." Selina went to the other side of the bed and moved under the blankets. "Good night, Hel." She kissed the girl on the forehead and turned off the lamp.

"Nite mom." Helena said, turning to her side. She waited a few seconds before she moved her hand under the bed and took Jaçques out. Hugging him, she closed her eyes.

"What did you do with Jaçques mom?" Helena asked worriedly, looking frantically in every corner of the house for her pet.

"I threw him out the window." Selina said, putting her coat on. "I told you I didn't want him in the bed and today I woke up with his tail in my nose and your feet on my stomach. Let's go, Helena, it's late."

The child ran toward the balcony and opened the door. "Mommy, where is Jaçques?"

"Helena! Close that door!! It's late!!" The blonde sighed.

"Where is he?" Helena asked again.

Selina went to her. "He's being punished for disobeying my orders and is in a box in my closet." She took her hand and pulled her inside the apartment and closed the door.

"He doesn't like being in boxes."

"Well, he's being punished," Selina walked toward the door, "come on, it's late."

"But mom, he…"

"He has been punished and so will you be if you don't move your little ass out of here now!."

Helena made a face and walked outside her apartment. "He will be okay?"

"Helena, he's just a stuffed cat!" Selina said, closing the door.

"No, he is Jaçques."

Selina drove to the outskirts of Gotham. Helena looked through the window; she enjoyed dressing like her mother or wearing similar accessories. Selina rubbed her temples, sometimes Helena gave her very big headaches with all of her ideas.

She could barely sleep the night before because Helena had been pushing and kicking her. The absolute final straw had been when she finally fell asleep and felt something tickling her face. Helena had grabbed one of Jaçques paws and threw her arm over Selina's neck. Annoyed she had taken the stuffed black cat and had thrown it against the wall. Luckily, Helena was asleep or she would've asked her to take the damn pet to the hospital for a medical examination at four am.

Selina drove the car inside an incredibly huge residence. The gardens were huge and there were many cars in front of her own. Helena opened the window and looked to the front and then to the back.

"Are we on the highway? We're not moving," she asked.

"No, many people were invited, we need to wait until people move up." Selina smiled.

"Is it a big party?"

"Yes, I told you."
