BOP #68: A canary or a "mock"ing bird? or The Sexual History of Helena Bertinelli
The first page of Cry For Justice #2 has caused some controversy on this board and elsewhere. But it's not like that kind of "behavior" is unheard of in Huntress' history.

First, Babs and the girls talk about Savant, who kidnapped Black Canary and chained her to a ~~fridge~~ bed.

Uh-oh. Anyone know the exact issues?

This was revealed in OUTSIDERS #12, but not the circumstances. Nightwing must have told Oracle. Because that's not weird at all.

Ah, so Roy is "quick to let fly." No wonder Cheshire got pregnant!

Well, give she's now about Roy's age due to that Lazarus Pit dip, it's less "mother and son" these days.

How does that date go?

Sheesh, I thought they only kept the masks on in ULTIMATE or ALL-STAR stories. Supposedly Gail Simone wrote this so Helene could find realize she deserved better in the romance department. Is a threesome with Hal Jordan and Lady Blackhawk really better? Well, I doubt they'd keep their masks on.

I reread Nightwing/Huntress earlier this summer, and I don't recognize Dick's motivation in your description. The story contains a lot more discussion of how Dick resembles Bruce, at least more than he'd like to.

I think Dick is attracted to Helena briefly for the same reason he's attracted to Koriand'r and Barbara Gordon: they're all strong women who also come across as vulnerable and in need of a rescuer. (See also Miggsy in the first Nightwing miniseries.)

On Helena's side, at the end of Nightwing/Huntress she acknowledges that she enticed Dick into bed in an attempt to get closer to the bat-clan. What's most interesting in the long run is that, even though in the panels above Helena insists Dick and Barbara weren't together yet, she saw the sexual attraction between them before they could acknowledge it themselves.
