A wonderful but scorching hot night in New Gotham it was, Barbara Gordon sat in her wheelchair, free of the exoskeleton and letting the hot breeze swish her beautiful crimson hair. Summer was her most favorite of seasons because of the liveliness and the hot air, for some reason, it appealed more to Barbara and she loves it. Hearing footsteps, Helena Kyle appeared from the inside and took a stand next to her dear friend.
"How in Superman's name, do you stay in this heat? The clock tower is cool as ice; just the way I like it." Helena said with glee.
"Please, we don't need air conditioning. Besides, do you pay rent here?" Barbara asked jokingly.
"Nah, but I do pay a bazillion dollars for all your technological technical tactical toys in there. Try saying that five times fast, and you'll be blessed today." Helena said as she and Barbara began to laugh.
"I'm proud of you Helena. You brought down that wretched Sisterhood and redeemed your mother's memory at the same time." Barbara said as Helena looked at her with a warm smile.
"Thanks. But fighting against Bast…and her saying it was the image of my mom that made that Sisterhood…it means my mom was evil. Stealing, thievery, why?" Helena asked with somewhat hurt eyes.
"I'm not going to lie to you Helena. Yes your mom was a thief and a burglar. But that was just one little snippet to her personality. Your father loved her for all the things you told you did. Her light, her energy, her spontaneity. All those positives outweigh that entire one negative. Obviously she did something right because I am fortunate enough to have a dependable and special person I love right here with me." Barbara said looking up at Helena with the moonlight shining from the brim of her glasses. Hugging, Helena and Barbara felt the mutual sisterly love for another and watched Dinah join them with eagerness.
"Good news, I have a date for tomorrow! Rick Stanford. My God I'm so lucky!" Dinah said with glee.
"If this guy wants you to join a Sisterhood of a Dog, you're on your own that time." Helena said as the girls laughed. "By the way, it's been a week. What happened with Avery and Persia?"
"Avery went over to Metropolis with Persia. Apparently, they want to continue their relationship; at least that's what he told me. Lucky we had one botched date." Dinah said with a look.
"Poor Dinah, luckily you'll have Rick." Barbara said.
"Yup! Can't wait!" Dinah said with a sudden big grin. Helena all of a sudden remembered something and she pinched Dinah.
"MY DRESS! DINAH DID YOU CLEAN IT?" Helena yelled to the top of her lung.
"Uhhh……" Dinah ran faster than she ever did, as Helena yelled and continued to stalk her as Barbara laughed heartily. The moon seemed to shine on the clock tower even more at the comedic scene, and in a flash, a bird flew in the moonlight as Barbara's gentle laughs could still be heard.
