AN:

Again, sorry for the long delay, no excuse this time. I know my chapters are short but I'm not good with the long stuff, I always had trouble making the length minimum for papers throughout school. Anyway, still don't own anything … On with the story, yay!

CH 3

Dinah had just enough time to call Barbara on her communication device before both gangs rushed them. Dinah wanted Helena to be sent in to help get the trio out of their current situation. When the fight started, Dinah was quite surprised when Katie rushed to grab a pipe from one of the gang members before she started clubbing his friends. It all happened in a blur but Dinah couldn't focus on her friend for long as a sharp blow across her shoulder brought her back to the fact that she cant stand around staring. There is a fight going on around her so Dinah starts using her telepathic powers to send the bad guys flying away from both herself and Gabby.

After a little while, Gabby was able to sneak away unnoticed as the gang members were focused on the two fighters. She ran all the way to the police station to find Detective Reese as she remembered Dinah mentioning his name as someone she trusted. It took Gabby a while to find the Detective but not long at all to convince him that his help was required. It helped that Gabby started babbling about how Dinah knew both Barbara and Helena.

The fight was going on a little longer than Katie wanted as she was beginning to become fatigued. Katie hadn't done this much physical activity in a long time so her movements started becoming sluggish and therefore easier for the gang members to get hits in with their weapons. Dinah was tiring as well from mental strain as it takes a lot of energy to move heavy objects around. This fatigue got to the point that the bad guys only moved a foot or two when she pushed them with her mind.

Helena showed up in time to watch two of the gang members sneak up behind her friend and another girl. Dinah was hit over the head while the other girl was hit in the back. Helena jumped off the roof to protect Dinah as the other girl was still fighting, putting her back to what was going on with the other girl. It didn't take Helena long to dispose of the half dozen men around Dinah but during that time, the other gang members left managed to knock Katie down and beat her senseless. Helena didn't waste much time disposing of those that were left as they were pretty much worn out from the their earlier battle.

When asked later why she did it, Barbara would just shrug and said she had a feeling. As Barbara arrived a couple minutes later in the Hummer, she told Helena to get both girls into the vehicle for transfer back to the clock tower for medical treatment. Helena had no time to argue with her mentor as police sirens were beginning to fill the air with their telltale wail that the cops are on the way, never a good thing for a vigilante. It would have made more sense to leave Katie behind where she could get to a hospital but for some reason, Barbara couldn't leave her behind.

Reese and the cavalry arrived at the alleyway to find everyone knocked out, just the gang members. Somehow he just knew Huntress was behind this so he made a mental note to contact her later…
