Helena was sitting on Cole's bed.
"So, what happened exactly?" asked Cole.
"I don't know, one minute we were fine, and the next we were arguing. It just seemed like all these little things blew up into something huge. We've argued before, every family does, but never like this before."
"Don't worry babe, I'm sure it will be ok." Said Cole as he sat on the bed beside her.
"I hope so"
They shared a long sweet kiss, but Cole broke it when he saw a shadow from the other room.
"We shouldn't be doing this"
"What are you talking about, I don't understand?" asked Helena.
"Uh, I just mean that you need to go back to them, you need to figure out what happened."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Thanks for everything. I'll call you later." Said Helena.
"Yeah, no problem."
Helena then got up and left.
Cole Turned to the shadow he had seen earlier.
"Nice of you to show yourself Ventroxa" said Cole.
"I thought we talked about this situation plenty of times, and you assured me that you could do the job. What was the point in me enticing our little heroes to fight if you were just going to comfort one of them."
"Look, I had a plan, and I intend to stick to it. By getting to the Huntress I can get to all three of them. You making them argue was perfect for the situation, it broke their confidence in each other, and that makes them more vulnerable. Huntress now believes in me, and now all we have to do is wait for her to show up. We take her down, the other two will show up, but by then it will be to late for her, and we can kill them."
"You better get the job done Andrews, I don't want to be the one to tell the conclave of your failure."
"You don't have to worry about that."
"See to it that I don't."
Clocktower:
Barbara, Dinah, and Reese were sitting by the Delphi system when Helena walked in.
"Oh god, Helena, are you ok? We were worried, we didn't know where you went." Said Dinah, "Where were you?"
"Don't worry kid, I'm fine. Uh, I was at Cole's. He convinced me to come back and figure out what happened."
Reese and Dinah both made a face at that (without Helena seeing).
"Well now that you're here, we have to figure out what's going on," said Barbara. "Someone obviously figured out how to get in, not to mention had to be the source of our big argument."
"Alright, lets get to work then, shall we."
