A/N I don't own anyone but Bella. It's kind of sad actually.
Cooper101- Read and find out:)
valevilandra- Okay, here ya' go!
-the-Green-Hornet- Yeah, I'm to much of an H/Q fan too split them up, even for a little while so I had to make this AU. I don't think Q would would ever dump Huntress, either. He likes her too much.
idk- Sure, I'm doing that right now.
Knight Watcher- Yeah, 'little secret' is kind of an oxymoron for the situation, eh, I liked it as a title.
ChristinaWasHere- Maybe you'll get your wish;)
multi-obsessed- Yeah, I kind of noticed that. But I seriously wrote this a while ago, and the plots gonna be really different, at least I think so.
Guest- Nope, not making it a one-shot. I was going to post this a while ago but got distracted with writing 'Switched' and 'The Cat, The Bat, and The Amazon'.
PrincessJazzy23- Thanks, love your avatar by the way, it's so cute:)
"She's my Mama!"
Vic felt as though someone had punched him in the gut. His head swirled with questions and pain. Helena had a child? She had moved on? Why was he upset; he had wanted her to move on after all. "What?" He finally managed to choke out.
"I said she's my Mama." The little girl repeated curiously. She was still trying to figure out how the fedora-guy could talk without a mouth. She opened her mouth to ask when a voice called from behind, "Bella! There you are!"
Dinah Lance, better known to the masked world as Black Canary, walked towards them; Ollie tagging along behind her.
Her eyes stared accusingly at Vic. "What is he doing here?" She demanded.
"Hey, how do you talk?" Bella asked ignoring her aunt and uncle.
"Bella, honey, go to your Uncle." Dinah said stepping in front of Bella protectively.
"But I wanna know how-"
"Now." She growled. The little girl held up her hands in a surrendering motion and walked over to Oliver. "I just wanted to ask a question." She pouted.
"Why are you here?" Dinah asked, her tone colder than ice.
"Heard Huntress was hurt. Wanted to make sure she was alright." He muttered glancing at Helena. His beautiful Helena, she might have moved on but he would always love her in silence.
"You saw. Now leave." Dinah said coldly.
"Had a daughter. Cute kid, must get it from Helen." He continued not ever wanting to take his eyes off her.
"Yeah, she's adorable. Now leave before I make you." Dinah threatened, giving him a glare of death.
"Aw, Pretty-Bird can't he just-"
"No."
"I know how you can talk without a mouth now, you don't have to tell me anymore!" Bella called, earning a glare from Dinah.
"How?" Vic asked finally acknowledging the little girls presence.
"Well, the sound either comes out your ears, or you're wearing a really freaky mask. I think the second one makes more sense." She added thoughtfully.
"If I have to ask you to leave one more time-"
"Why can't he stay?" Asked Bella curiously.
Dinah bit her lip, not quite sure how to tell the six year old that this man was her mothers crackpot, scumbag of an ex-boyfriend who had broken her heart. "I don't like him."
"Few do." Vic shrugged not concerned about what Dinah thought of him.
"Why? What's wrong with him?"
"Where to begin?" Muttered Ollie. "I think it all started when he was dropped." He whispered to Bella making her giggle.
"You are not helping." Dinah growled.
She turned back to Question to continue telling him off when her communicator went off. "Canary, you are needed in the conference room immediately." J'onn said over the communicator.
"I'm busy."
"I do not care. Get over here now, it involves Huntress."
Dinah sighed and turned to Ollie. "Watch her." She said cocking a thumb at Bella.
"And you, I said leave!" She turned around to glare at Q, but he was already gone. She sent a questioning glare at her husband who shrugged. "He's been doing that a lot to day."
Canary stormed down the halls towards the conference room swearing quietly under her breath.
Why the hell did that idiot of a man have to show up and act like he was worried about Helena? Why the hell didn't Bella hate him? She'd always assumed her friend had bad-mouthed him for years to her daughter.
But whatever; if Helena didn't mention him that wasn't Dinahs' problem, it was hers.
She had never really liked Vic too much. Of course once she and Helena had become good friends after the Metabrawl she and Ollie had occasionally gone on double dates and stake-outs with them so she learned to tolerate the man for Helen's sake.
Ollie seemed to like him well enough too, so that also gave him a few points. Of course, then the asshole had dumped Helena and her poor friend had been devastated.
It killed Dinah to watch the toughest girl she knew cry. Her poor friend was furious and pained while Vic had just dumped her like trash without even offering up a good reason.
Dinah figured he must have found someone else to be a psycho with.
And now that jackass was pretending to care about her, why? Was it Bella? Was he lonely and wanting Helena back?
Dinah shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts. The doors opened with a Swoosh! as she entered the conference room scowling. "What do you want, J'onn?"
The Martian Manhunter looked at her, an obvious 'don't use that tone with me' expression on his face. "I called you up here to discuss Huntress' daughters' living arrangements while her mother recuperates." He explained tonelessly.
"Why?" Dinah asked in surprise. "She's going to be staying with Ollie and me."
"Well, normally I would agree with you but legally I cannot allow that." He replied.
Now Dinah was confused. "What! Why the hell not, she's our niece!" She cried. "Helena's my best friend, if she got hurt then obviously she would ask me to-"
"But she didn't." J'onn continued. "She has it on her file that she would like Question to take care of her daughter if something happens to her. Legally, I am required to have the child stay with him."
"What?" Shrieked Dinah. "What the hell? You're going to ship a little girl off to go live with some paranoid freak she's never met because of some writing! I don't believe that, call Helena and check." She demanded crossing her arms.
"I am sorry but I cannot." He frowned not sounding the least bit sorry. "She is still asleep from the anesthetics she was given earlier. She will not awaken for quite a few hours."
Dinah gaped at him. "You're seriously going to let him take her, aren't you?" She said in disbelief. "I can't believe-I know! He's a computer freak, right? I bet he hacked the files so it said Helen wanted that! That bastard!"
"The files are locked away and handwritten, I do not think that would be possible." J'onn countered calmly. "And yes, I do not think a few days with Question will harm the girls sanity too much considering who her mother is."
Dinah fought back a scream of annoyance. After Helena was better she was going to hurt her all over again.
Question sat down at his computer within seconds of entering the room.
He had wasted no time running towards his room the second Dinah was distracted. He wanted to know; who was the slimy jackass who'd gotten his Helena pregnant? Was she was married to him? Was he good enough for her?
He fought back a sigh. Even if this man was the wealthiest, nicest man on Earth who was completely against the Illuminati he still wouldn't like him.
He felt like he couldn't win.
If she was with him then he felt guilty because Helena was the most amazing person he'd ever met and he was just...him. He wasn't good enough for her. But, if she was with someone else then he was jealous and hurt because he didn't ever want another man to touch her and call her his.
He was in between a rock and a hard place.
Sighing, he began to type; mentally kicking himself for not checking up on her like he should have. He shook his head; could've, would've, should've... those words had no meaning, the bottom line was he didn't.
He wondered briefly who the little girl, Bella, had taken after; her mother or her father, whoever that was. Maybe Helen adopted her, maybe she was really her niece? Maybe she had gotten artificially inseminated or left the father? Maybe the child was a result of a one-night stand?
All these questions flowed through his mind as he typed away furiously while attempting to look up the digital copy of Helens' file. He quickly read through it. Okay, so she isn't married. He thought some-what relieved.
But who was her daughters' father?
Hands trembling, he clicked the link to Helena's' file, scared of what he might find. Semi-reluctantly, Vic clicked the link open and scrolled down to where the information was located.
He felt his jaw drop when he read who the father was.
A/N Know what I just realized; I'm really mean with cliff-hangers. I mean I update every two or three days but yeesh, thanks for putting up with all of them.
A/N Read and Review, feel free to guess who the Daddy is.
