Barbara wheeled down out of the gym loft and stopped in front of the french doors leading out to the ledge of the clock tower where she often sat. Instead of going outside, she just merely looked and watched. Helena, in her Huntress gear was crouched down near the edge, looking down upon the city, her quiet appearance bringing concern to the Oracle, but yet she couldn't help but admire her strength and determination.

Barbara tilted her head to one side, watching quietly, her mind wandering over her earlier conversation with Dinah. Could she have been talking about Helena? After all, Helena had been acting quite strange in the past month or so. Its almost been like she was afraid to talk to Barbara... either that or very pissed off at her.

Helena took a deep breath and stood quietly, her mind racing in spite of itself. She turned around and froze in her spot at the sight of Barbara sitting in front of the doors, watching her. Barbara quietly opened the door for Helena and smiled at her.

"Hey there."

"How long have you been watching me?"

"Not long, why?"

"Just asking."

"Is there something on your mind tonight Helena?" A concerned look on her face.

"A little bit... But nothing for you to worry about."

Barbara looked at her questioningly, but decided to stray away from it for now. "Alright then... But hey, I was thinking... I haven't gotten out of the tower for quite awhile... would you like to go to dinner or something with me sometime this week?"

Helena's mind immediately jumped to the comp ticket sitting on her bedside table. "Um, yeah actually.. You know that little Mexican restaurant you like, Dos Lobos?"

Barbara's eyebrows raised slightly, "That one down on W. 80th?"

"Yeah.. That's the one.. Would you like to go there on Wednesday night? And maybe we could get Dinah to hang back here."

Barbara smiled softly, "Sounds like a plan to me."

Helena walked over and stood beside Barbara. "Maybe we can talk then. I think we need to." She bent down and gently kissed Barbara's cheek and walked past into her room, shutting the door behind her.

Barbara was left sitting by the door, her hand placed on her cheek where she had just been kissed. She whispered softly, "I was hoping we could talk sooner." She sighed softly, then turned to shut the doors again and then went over to sit in front of the Delphi system, debating heavily if she shouldn't go talk to Helena now and not wait till Wednesday. After all, that was still two days away and she didn't know if she could watch Helena stew for that long.

Helena threw herself onto her bed and started mentally yelling at herself because of what she had done. When she was going to her room, she couldn't even bring herself to turn around and find out what Barbara's reaction had been... How could she have been so stupid!

There was a knock on the door and Helena quickly stopped her thought process in case it was Dinah again... She didn't need to put that girl into therapy. "Who is it?"

Barbara smirked before she replied, "Alyson Hannigan."

Helena chuckled softly and sat up. "Come in Barbara."

She opened the door and wheeled herself in, "Thanks," she said as she closed the door. "I've been thinking about earlier when you came in off of the ledge."

"What do you mean? Why have you been thinking about that?"

"You've just seemed liked you've had a lot on your mind and you been thinking about something very serious. I just want to offer my help if I can." She gave Helena a wide puppy dog look with her big emerald eyes.

Helena looked at those puppy dog eyes and tried to hold back telling her until their dinner.

"Pwease. I want to help." Quivers her bottom lip.

"Dammit.. You know I can't resist that... There is something. But I don't know how to say it."

"You know we've been through a lot before. You know that I am always here for you and that I will love you no matter what happens." Barbara takes Helena's hand in her own.

Helena looked down at her hand and placed her other hand on top of Barbara's, then looked up into Barbara's eyes. "That's what I'm hoping for." She leaned forward quickly and kissed her, hard, and full on the lips.

Barbara blinked at Helena as she retreated from the kiss, her mind running through her conversation with Dinah earlier, and her own feelings about Helena. "Well... that was..."

After a few moments of Barbara not continuing, Helena pulled he hands away from her and started to get up. "I knew that was a bad idea." Barbara grabbed Helena's cloak and pulled her back down onto the bed. Even after this, Helena couldn't look up at the red headed woman in front of her. Barbara reached over and cradled Helena's cheek, Helena, in turn, looked up with the look of a child who just got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

The Oracle grinned and suppressed a chuckle. "Is that what you were worried about?"

Helena didn't say a word, only nodded.

"That was nothing for you to worry about. And you could have told me that sooner you know... But thank you for telling me now." She leaned forward and initiated another kiss. Both women melted into each other's hands and arms.

As they released each other, Helena finally decided to speak up. "Does this mean that dinner on Wednesday is a date?"

"Well, let me see... Dinner... with the most beautiful woman I know. I'd say that would be a yes." She smiled broadly.

Helena couldn't help but blush.

"You look so cute like that."
