-CHAPTER TWO-

Dinah was standing at a burning building; the one Carolyn died in. Dinah started walking up to the building, not really knowing why. When she got close, she could see someone running out of the building, it was her mother.

"Mom!" Dinah yelled running to her, but stopped dead in her tracks upon seeing her mother being burnt all over. "No…! Mom…!"

Dinah started backing up, away from her mother.

"No…! This can't be happening! Please…!" Dinah cried.

"You let me die, Dinah…!"

Carolyn opened her mouth, emitting the shrill of the Canary Cry.

"No! Mom… please…!" Dinah yelled trying to cover her ears but couldn't.

"I tried… Mom!" Dinah said, screaming in pain. "I tried…!"

"You should have tried harder…! No… wonder why I left you at the Redmonds! You make me sick!"

"No…! Please…!"

Helena and Barbara heard the screaming. Immediately, Helena jumped up from where she was sitting and raced up to Dinah's room. Barbara took the elevator to the room.

When Helena reached Dinah's room, she saw that Dinah was on her bed screaming. Helena walked over to Dinah, shaking her, trying to wake her up. Barbara had reached the room a couple minutes after Helena and saw the brunette trying to get Dinah to wake up, who was still screaming. Barbara wheeled over to the bed.

Helena turned around to look at Barbara. "She won't wake up! What the hell is happening?"

She then turned back to Dinah and was shocked to see blood starting to flow from Dinah's ears. "Barbara! Look… Dinah, her ears! They're bleeding!"

"What!"

Barbara moved closer to Dinah and looked at her ears. "Go get the first aid kit!"

Helena ran out the room to get the first aid kit.

Barbara placed her hands on Dinah's shoulder, holding her down. "Dinah…! Wake up…! You're dreaming…!"

Inside Dinah's dream, Carolyn bent down to the ground next to Dinah. The teenager now had her hands on her ears trying to block out the Canary Cry, and yelling at her mother.

"Please… Mom…!"

"You killed me… Dinah… you let me die in the building!" Carolyn closed her mouth. "The Redmonds are right, you're evil, a child of the devil."

"No…!"

"Why do you dream these things? You know they'll come true."

"No, it's not my fault!"

"Yes, it is! Your powers are nothing but trouble. You just create pain." Carolyn yelled, holding Dinah to the ground. "You killed me…!"

"I didn't kill you! It wasn't my fault! I tried to save you! I tried…!"

"You didn't try hard enough!"

Carolyn opened her mouth again letting out the Canary Cry.

"Nooooo…!" Dinah yelled, bolting up from her dream.

Dinah looked around at her surroundings, only to see Barbara and Helena looking down at her. Dinah tried to sit up, but Barbara held her down, not wanting her to hurt herself.

"It's okay, Dinah, it's okay… you're back." Barbara said, trying to get Dinah to calm down, who was trying to get up again. "Dinah… please…"

Dinah looked into Barbara's eyes. "Barbara…?"

She then turned her head to the other side, seeing Helena at the doorway to her room. "Helena?"

Helena strode up to Dinah. "Yeah, it's me… you're back…"

Dinah turned back around looking at Barbara.

"What's going… on… what's happening…?" Dinah said, crying. "It's all my fault… I let her die…"

"What are you talking about? What is your fault…"

"My… mom… I let her die… I wasn't strong enough…" Dinah cried.

"Yes, it is your fault, Dinah…!"

"What!" Dinah asked, shocked at want Barbara had just said to her.

"It is your fault… you did let your mother die!"

"No!" Dinah cried.

"Yes, it is your fault…!" Helena said coming up next to Barbara.

"If you would have just left with her, when she said to, she wouldn't have to die… you killed you mother… Dinah!" Helena's eyes turned into slits, morphing them into the eyes of a cat.

"No…!" Dinah screamed, crying out. "Make this stop…! Make it stop! Make it all stop! I can't take it anymore… just kill me!"

"You not even worth killing!" yelled Barbara.

"You need to learn…!" Helena said, taking Dinah by the collar and pulling her off the bed, dragging her to the closet in Dinah's room.

Dinah looked at Helena with terror in her eyes and realized that she was being dragged to the closet.

Dinah shouted in fright, "No… please…! Not in there… anywhere, but there! Please…! Noooo…!"

Dinah woke up again, screaming. She got off the bed she was lying on and noticed that she was in the lab. My ear… god… Dinah put her hands to her ears. They had bandages on them. Helena and Barbara came into the room.

Barbara wheeled up to Dinah, but Dinah started backing up.

"Leave me alone! Go away!" Dinah screamed at them.

"Dinah… It's okay." Barbara stopped where she was, looking at Dinah. She could tell the teenager was scared.

"No! It's not! Leave me alone!" Dinah looked around trying to find somewhere to run, to get away from them.

Dinah ran past Barbara, who could not do anything to stop her. Dinah headed for the door, but she was stopped by Helena, who had grabbed her from behind and pulled her back so she end up facing the brunette.

"Dinah… It's okay… you just…"

Helena did not even have time to finish her sentence because Dinah had used her telekinesis power, sending Helena flying backwards and slamming hard against the wall.

Dinah ran out of the room. She could hear her guardian yelling for her to stop.

Dr. Harley Quinzel was sitting on the couch across from Destiny, who had just woken up.

"It's done. She is not in her right frame of mind. She is hurting. She just ran away from her protectors." Destiny said, looking at Harley.

"And the other thing I ask you to do, did you do it?"

"Yes, it's all done. He is free so he should be here any time now."

"Good!" Harley said, smiling cynically.

"Guard!" Harley yelled, the door opened and three burly men walked in with guns in their hands.

"Yes… boss?"

Harley took one of the pictures that was sitting on the desk and walked over to the three men. She handed the picture to one of them. "Here… take this! I want you to find her and bring her to me, she won't be that hard to get!"

"Yes." One of the guards said, holding the picture in his hand. He then turned to look at the other man.

"Let's go!" The guard yelled.

All three of them left the room, the door shutting behind then with a slam. But the door opened again and this time the Joker walked in.

"Hello, my sweet… it's great to see you!" The Joker said, coming up to Harley and giving her a big kiss.

"You too… Joker!" Harley said, smiling.

Dinah ran out off the elevator, away from the Clocktower and down the streets of New Gotham. Dinah just kept running until she couldn't run any longer and dropped to the ground, crying.

What…is happening… to me…? It's all my entire fault… I let everyone… down… I killed my… own mother…

Dinah tore off the bandages on her ears. She picked herself up from the ground and started walking, not knowing where she was going. She just kept walking. Dinah did not realize that not far behind her was a car following her slowly.

Inside the car was Harley's men. "That's her!" said one of the man, looking down at the picture that the boss gave them.

There were two of the men in the back who were getting ready. One of them had placed a coil of rope in his jacket, and the other was loading bullet in the guns.
