Who: The Huntress & Dick Grayson When: January 4, 2010 Where: Dick's trailer on circus grounds What: The Huntress visits Dick and offers him a proposition. Rated: PG-13 Status: Incomplete
Ever since she had first seen the star trapeze artist on Halloween, she had been waiting for the prime moment to surprise Mr. Dick Grayson.
The mob had been unraveling for some time and Helena was proud of the work she had done to remove key members from the earth. They scrambled to protect their investments and reinstate claim over the city, but each step forward brought them back two more and it seemed as if they would be stripped from power for good.
Until the Joker escaped.
The Families had a new reason for working together. They had been major players in the Joker's first attack on the city and they were well aware of the dangers that would be brought upon them if they would become his targets. Only by working together could they survive another attack on the city.
It may not have been such a detrimental strike to Helena's plans if the Joker's escape had not involved some members of the mafioso seeking protection. Desperate to live, they sought help from the law. Her dear Uncle Panessa had been one of the few to seek safety. The man with the answers to the murder of her parents was unreachable and it was all because of some manic pagliaccio.
The Huntress waited in the small confines of the trailer, her arms crossed over her chest as she watched for any signs of his arrival through the tiny window in front of her. They may not have gotten along during their first meeting, but this time she had leverage and she expected the hero to play along.
