Black Canary tiredly walked back into Oracle’s situation room. She was bruised and tired and a little embarrassed at the beating a telepathic worm was able to give her. He had escaped, but that was the least of their problems. It appeared that The Shade had used his mastery over darkness to take control over Shadow Thief, who had been employed by Mister Mind. He had used the Thief to take an artifact to open portals into other dimensions. With the Shade’s control broken, Thief lead the Birds right back to his rightful employer, Mr. Mind. It was not exaggerating to say things did not go well. Now the Shade was still out there with the Gate Key and they had no way to find them.
“Well that went great. No wait, the other thing. Awful,” Canary said as she approached her best friend, Oracle.
“So I noticed. Don’t worry though, while you three were busy, I’ve set up several operations. Hawkgirl is keeping track of Shadow Thief in case he is taken over again. Huntress is working with a temporary partner to try and find the Shade,” Oracle informed her prime operative.
With her eyebrow cocked upwards, Dinah asked, “So what am I going to do?”
“Well, you and I have a particularly…difficult mission tomorrow night,” Oracle said with a look of complete anxiety on her face.
-Somewhere near Saturn-
Just as a solid green arrow around the size of the Eiffel Tower smashed through the large robot, Hal Jordon’s ring began to beep. “Hello?” he said, activated his ring while at the same time creating a large barge to strap the robot down to.
“Hey Hal, you busy?” Dinah asked. She took a brief moment to look down at her cell phone’s call list.
Hal Cell
Hal Home
Hal Ring
She was sure that other people felt just as odd calling people on power rings. At least she didn’t need a signal watch.
“Not anymore. What’s going on?” he asked with a small amount of concern.
“Oh, nothing like that,” she replied, noticing his serious tone. “I just couldn’t reach you on your other line.”
Even as he began his flight with his now deactivated opponent, Hal checked the side of his tights. “Oops, must have left it at home. Do I hear water?”
Dinah chuckled as she splashed some water around for him to hear. After that fight she just needed to soak her sore body in a warm bath. “Long day and night,” she explained. “Listen, are you busy tomorrow night?”
“Never too busy. Why?”
“Well, there’s this dinner thing. Ted is bringing Mel and Dick and Babs are going together. So as not to be a fifth wheel, I’ve decided to bring a friend.”
“Sounds great,” replied Hal as he headed towards Oa. “I’ll pick you up at your place.”
“Terrific. See you then,” she said and hung up the phone. The thought of not having to suffer through dinner with some blind date comforted her as she slinked back into the warm water.
-The Following Afternoon-
The room was cluttered with more blouses and skirts than Dinah ever owned. Babs was rolling back and forth in a small panic. Dinah was lying back on Barbara’s bed with a huge smile on her face. “To look at you one would think you were preparing to fight Doomsday,” she chuckled.
“Har har,” Babs said as she tried on yet another shirt. “I’m just a little stressed is all.”
“But why?” Dinah asked as she stood up and walked towards her friend. “Is this about the Shade? Because I can cancel and go on patrol. It still bugs me that he has the Gate Key and we’re off to dinner,” Canary admitted.
“No, it’s not that. I have faith in our operatives. If there is any lead, we’ll be contacted immediately,” Babs assured her while continued to roll around her bedroom like a banshee on fire.
Dinah planted her hands on her shoulders to stop her from moving around. “Then why are you doing this to yourself?”
“You know why.”
“Babs, its Dick. He’s loved you since he wore those green panties…,” Dinah said as she trailed off. “You think he still has those?”
“Dinah!”
“Sorry, sorry,” she said with a smile. “Look, everyone from the Watchtower to Arkham knows you too should be together. You shouldn’t be focused on what he feels for you. We all know what he feels, even if you two don’t.”
“Ted will also be there you know,” Babs said.
“Oh yea. What’s the deal with you and ol’ Blue Bug?”
“I don’t think I even know,” admitted Barbara. “This whole past year has just been one big mess.”
“Believe me, I know. Just focus on what you feel. Go with your gut. Love is just like a good fight. Sure you’re going to get some cuts and bruises but you have to go with your instincts if you want to win.”
“Thanks, Yoda,” Babs said with a smile.
Dinah laughed and picked up an article of clothing. “People could see your dark side if you wore this skirt,” she told Babs with a smile, who in retaliation hit Dinah in the face with a blouse.
