"I didn't know coming to Gotham would have made your life so exciting!" exclaimed Ferrando.
"My life isn't really exciting." Helena replied. "It's the same as it's always been, isn't it?"
"You find out you have a brother, and everything is the same? I never would have imagined. And you said anything, either."
"I never imagined it, either." she admitted. "Although, I never gave it much thought. I didn't really give it any thought at all."
Ferrando turned to Terry.
"Did you?"he asked.
"No. It was a surprise for me, too."
"I see you don't have the same idiosyncrasies. At least you're not wearing gloves." Ferrando observed. "I wondered that could have been something like a family thing, or just an Helena thing."
"It's a me thing, I assure you." said Helena.
"Yeah, it is. All the others, too." added Terry.
"You're not at all related Selina's, are you?" asked Ferrando.
"You call her by her first name?"
"I always have. She was my stepmother. But you're not related to her."
"No, I'm not."
Ferrando turned to Helena.
"That means you finally found out who your father is?"
Terry turned to Helena. He knew she knew exactly who her father was. She'd told him before that she'd always known. But Helena didn't answer, but sat stiffly.
"Talk about something else." she said instead.
"Diana is still traveling to see the world?" said Ferrando, finding a different topic.
"Where and how did you ever find her?!" Helena turned to Terry. "Diana used to live here, but she seemed to have inherited a very large sum of money. She left Gotham, and now, she just goes from one place to another."
"Would you believe in Cypress?"
"What in the world would Diana Clay be doing in Cypress? I imagined her to be, I don't know, in Paris? Venice? If you found her, why didn't you bring her with you?"
"Diana Clay?"
"Do you know her?"
"I think I met a Diana Clay somewhere, but I couldn't tell you for sure."
"I keep getting the impression that she's hiding from something. Or someone."
"Diana? Running? From what? From who?" Helena asked.
Terry knew exactly what Diana they were talking. What she was running from, too.
"I have no idea. She never says where she's going, or anything like that. She just moves from one place to another. Just disappears."
"Oh, she's running from the law! Is she?" asked Helena.
"I doubt that."
Helena looked disappointed.
"But it looks like she has no plans to come back to Gotham."
"She's probably just spending her money as fast as she possibly can. And what better way to do that, than to be going from one place to another, I suppose? Staying in the best hostels. Things like that."
"Actually, she doesn't stay in the best hotels. At all. She was terrified to see me. She didn't want to be seen with me."
"You? She really must be terrified of being found."
"I think she definitely is."
"She must be running from creditors or something like that." Helena decided. "Spent all the money already, and now," she shrugged. "she has a lot of debts. As always, I guess. That really wouldn't be a surprise."
