The escape


Barbara and Dinah were following the van’s movement not more than a few miles behind.

"It's time," Barbara said and pressed the accelerator. They drove beside the van. When they were in front of it, Barbara placed her hand over a button. "Be ready Dinah, we have just five minutes."

The blonde girl nodded.

Barbara pressed the button and a the Hummer sent off a cloud of smoke; several sharps knives fell from the back of it to the road breaking the tires of the security Van. It exploded.

"I hope when all this is finish we can be real friends," Reese said.

Helena laughed. "Are you joking? Do you think really I'll survive an electric chair?"

"Your trial begins next week. You are not guilty yet."

"People want to see me hanged. People like blood. I’m in the middle of the circus between lions. Do you think I have any possibility?"

"Maybe you will be in for some years because of your robbery activities; but that's all."

"You are cute detective," she smiled and cocked her head. "Will be nice meet you in other circumstances."

"Other circumstances?" He raised a brown smiling as well.

"Do you want me to describe it?"

Suddenly they heard an explosion. The van moved violently. Helena flew against Reese. They began to roll inside the van hitting the walls.

The vehicle stopped in the middle of the road with it’s wheels up. Barbara stopped the Hummer and put it on reverse moving it behind the Van.

"Five minutes," she said.

Dinah moved down and took a laser off pen. She broke the van’s back door locker.


* * *


Helena was stunned but managed to shake her head. She raised her head seeing she landed over Reese. Helena moved him but he was unconscious. She heard the back door opened.

"Let's go Helena, we don't have time," she saw the blonde girl standing at the back door.

"Uh?"

"Let's go, we don't have time!" Dinah shouted.

Helena looked Reese, "I hope see you soon detective. Thanks, it was a pleasure." She leaned and kissed him lightly on the lips. Immediately, she walked out the van. She looked at Dinah without know what to think, "Who are you?"

Dinah pulled her outside, "Let's go. Questions later."

Helena was surprised Barbara was on the driver's seat, "Barbara?"

"Hurry up!" The red head demanded.

Dinah pulled her again, "Came on Helena, the police will come."

"Try to run while being chained and we’ll talk later," Helena protested.

Dinah opened the door of the back seat, pushing her inside, and climbed up behind her closing the door. Barbara screeching the tires and drove the Hummer on the road.

"What the hell is happening?" The brunette asked while Dinah took off her laser pen and broke the chains that restrained her. "Barbara why are you doing this?"

"Ill explain later. Move down, Dinah cover her with a blanket."

They were sitting at the kitchen table - Barbara and Dinah were drinking coffe while Helena was sitting in front of them with a leg on the chair and her back resting on the chair. She stuffed a piece of peanut butter sandwich in her mouth and raised her head. “And you two want that I believe this stupid story?”

“You must.” Dinah said.

Helena laughed loudly. “Bartender, that sucks.” She took another bite of her peanut butter sandwich.

“Your birthday is July 13th,” Dinah pointed out.

“Oh that one is easy,” Helena moved her hand.

“Don’t talk with your mouth full of food,” Barbara said.

“Sorry, Barbara I really appreciate what you did for me but this is a stupid story.”

“Helena this is serious! We can help her and at the same time help us.”

“I have enough problems with myself." She crossed her arms and rested them on the table.

“Helena,” Dinah said, “I think that you and I…”

“I work alone,” she said with cold and harsh voice.

Dinah sighed at the thought of the difficulty she'd been having with Helena. Worst that her original “Helena” version. Convincing her was going to be a challenge.

Dinah tried again. “You gave your mom a cat pendant as Christmas present, Barbara helped you buy it. You used your own money for it but didn't have enough so Barbara kicked in some.”

“Barbara told you that.” The brunette smiled.

“You don’t like masks.”

”Of course, they're annoying. I sweat too much running around the streets, I'd never wear one. Try again”

Dinah stood up and walked toward her. She leaned over her and whispered something in her ear. The brunette opened her eyes with surprise. She coughed and Dinah smiled as she sat back down.

Barbara looked at Dinah, curious. “What did you tell her?”

“Something that you don’t know.”

“Who told you that?” Helena growled.

“You.” Dinah smirked.

“Me?”

“One night…you were drunk. We were celebrating your birthday. Just so you know, you talk too much when you're drunk.”

“What did you tell her?” Barbara asked again.

“Don’t open your mouth!” Helena pointed Dinah angrily. The brunette grumbled, she wanted kill the blonde. She stood up angry amd took Dinah by the lapel and lifted her. “Talk, who sent you here?”

Barbara rolled her eyes. “Helena…”

“I asked you who sent to you?” Helena gritted her teeth.

“Okay, let go and I'll tell you.” Dinah sighed.

“Is that a joke?” Helena smirked. Dinah moved her head and pointed down with her finger. Helena looked down and saw she was floating a few inches over the floor. “Oh shit…”

“Don’t swear.” Amused, Barbara took an apple out of the fruit bowl.

“Is she meta?” the brunette frowned. The redhead nodded. “Why you didn’t tell me?”

“You never asked.”

“Okay, now let me go and I'll let you go,” Dinah smiled.

Helena growled and released her.

“Thank you.” Dinah blinked and stopped her mind levitation. Helena felt the floor, falling backwards.

“That wasn’t nice, Dinah,” Barbara said.

“She deserved it.”

“Point to you.”

Helena was pissed. She stood up, ready to attack.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you.” Barbara bit into her apple.

“Why not Senior superhero?” the brunette shouted.

“She has mind powers. She can move objects, read minds and things.”

Dinah smiled.

“What do you want, blondie?” Helena glared at her.

“I told you, I'm trying to fix this time disaster that our enemy did! She changed our lives completely!”

“I don’t believe a damn word you're saying.” The brunette sat on a chair.

Barbara wanted Helena to keep an open mind. “know it's hard to believe but…”

“You are too smart for this, Barbara. Why do you believe this stupid story?”

“Because something inside me tells me she is telling the truth. Not to mention the fact that she's told me things that nobody else knows.”

“This is so stupid.”

“Then help me find the truth,” Barbara said.

“The truth is that the entire New Gotham police force now is after me. They want to hang me! They think I'm a killer!”

“Helena, I know you didn’t kill those people,” Barbara said.

“All of this is a plan to finish you,” Dinah informed them. “You stopped him several times and sent him to jail. He played with time to finish the team, to stop you as a crime fighter! You can prove your innocence!” Dinah walked toward her and took her hand. Suddenly, the brunette saw a rain of images on her mind: the Clocktower, Helena fighting in the street, Barbara working at Clock Tower, Helena working at the bar...Reese.

Dinah released her after a few seconds. “Enough?” she asked.

Helena blinked, stunned. “What was that?”

“Your real life,” Dinah said.

Barbara put her hands on the arms of the chair. “Helena you saw it. I know it’s hard to believe to me but those images couldn’t just be created from her mind. I ran a test on her. She really is a meta-human, telechenetic. She read minds, she can move objects and… she is Black Canary's daughter.”

“She's the daughter of Black Canary?" Helena paid a little more attention at the mention of Canary's name.

“Do you know her?” Dinah asked.

“I kicked her ass once or twice,” Helena said, proud of herself.

“And she kicked yours four or five times,” Barbara pointed out with a sly smile.

“Helena give me a chance, help us find Dr. Destiny,” Dinah pleaded.

Helena laughed. “Hey blondie, wake up. I'm a thief. The crime fighter work is for the older superheros.” Helena looked at Barbara for a reaction.

Dinah was pissed. “Hey smartass, your life isn't worth a couple of bucks. The police think that you killed all those people. Wanna see your ass fried like bacon in an electric chair? Trapping him will allow us to fix this mess! Don't you get it?!?”

“Don’t fuck with me!” Helena faced Dinah. Mere inches separated them.

"You are fucked already." Dinah crossed her arms, challenging her.

Helena changed her eyes to feral.

Barbara wheeled in between the two women. “I don’t want a fight here. Understand? We're all in trouble, not just you, Helena. I broke the law helping you escape. The police are looking for you so they can start a trial and sentence you to death, Helena. And someone is trying to kill you!”

“Okay, Okay. Then let’s go to trap that son-of-a-bitch.” The brunette growled, glaring at Dinah. “But after that, everyone takes their own road.”

“Deal,” Dinah said.

“Follow me.” Barbara wheeled downstairs towards the Delphi.

Helena pushed Dinah with her shoulder. She was pissed that the girl was challenging her.

“Don’t try to do it,” Dinah warned her, “I know how you fight and I'll toss you to the ground before you can say 'boo'.”

Helena turned around to look at her with a stern stare.

Whoa! Tge last two chapters were great! I love the break out, and the chemistry that still exsists between, Reese and Helena!

Great Chapter oh master Jag!

LisaM

Excellent chapter...it may have been relatively easy to break Helena out of the van but convincing her to work as a team player will be a lot harder.

My favorite line:

“Don’t try to do it,” Dinah warned her, “I know how you fight and I'll toss you to the ground before you can say 'boo'.”

yank2324

Great last two chapters! Lisa is right Van easy...convincing Helena to work as a team player...very hard! Nice job Jag!

Peaches
