Epilogue

An elegant and skilled hand punched in the access code, she placed her palms for the digital scan, moved her eyes towards the ocular scanner which was disguised as an alternate light source and after a few seconds the door opened. She smiled nodded when she noticed movement at her back and with another nod she entered the elevator and leaned against the wall patiently waiting for the elevator to arrive to the top of the tower. When the doors opened she had barely stepped out when she was suddenly taken into an enthusiastic hug from the dynamo blonde.

"Barbara! Why didn't you tell us you were coming back today? How did it go? Did you have fun? What did you do?"

"Haha, calm down. Hello Dinah, Dick." She smiled at her old friend.

"Hey Babs, I'm glad your back, I was going crazy." He joked. "Hey!" He exclaimed as he rubbed the back of his head where Dinah had bopped him.

"And Aiko?" She asked upon noticing the absence of her Young Ward.

"At a friends house studying." Dinah said.

"Oh and what about Alfred?"

"Good evening Miss Barbara." Alfred appeared from nowhere with a tea tray.

"Alfred what a pleasure, it pleases me that everyone is here. I have a surprise."

"A surprise?" Dinah's eyes opened wide in curiosity. "Did you bring us something?"

"Actually I did." She turned slightly and her eyes moved towards the balcony where right at that moment they heard a noise.

Dinah and Dick turned suddenly, fearing some kind of an attack. Alfred limited himself to a satisfied smile. Suddenly a figure that in two years had not come through the balcony door appeared. A shape dressed in black leather began to walk towards them with her characteristic cocky swagger.

Dinah cried out happily and ran almost knocking Helena over as she hugged her enthusiastically.

"Helena!"

"Hey kid. Did you miss me?" Helena laughed returning the hug with just as much enthusiasm.

Dick turned towards Barbara with a raised eyebrow; Barbara only smiled playfully as her cheeks began to redden.

"Washington, huh Babs?"

"Actually San Francisco." Barbara confessed not losing her smile. "The most important mission of my life."

"I knew it!" Dick declared triumphantly.

"How?" Barbara asked curiously.

"Hmm, well because there was no Nanotech convention in DC Babs.

"I should have guessed you would double check, you're such a tattle tale." She scolded him playfully.

"I'm very happy for you Babs, truly. It was about time you took the bull by the horns."

Helena moved towards them and smiled at Dick without animosity something that surprised her adoptive brother. Usually Helena was pretty antagonistic with him.

"Hello Dick, it's been a long time. How have you been?" She greeted him warmly.

"Hmm, hi Helena, welcome home." He said a bit off balance.

"Thanks, it's good to be back."

Just then Helena noticed Alfred and moved towards him.

"Alfred!" She hugged the butler that was taken by surprise by the affectionate gesture from the brunette. "I have missed you my friend. You took good care of them. Thank you." She whispered.

"It's my duty Miss Helena and an honor." He smiled courteously, but his eyes shown with genuine pleasure to see the young woman back.

"Thank you."

Once more a cry of surprise from Dinah caused everyone to jump.

"What's this?" The blonde took Barbara's left hand to inspect it. There on her index finger a platinum engagement and wedding ring shown brightly.

Barbara let the young woman study her hand before smiling at her accusatory look.

"You got married!" She accused in surprise pointing a finger at Helena.

Helena shrugged her shoulders and smiled arrogantly, but her eyes shown with happiness. "I had to make an honest woman out of her D."

"Excuse me?" Barbara said indignantly.

"Actually I should say that it was the least that she could do Miss Barbara, after so many years living in sin." Alfred commented in a serious voice.

Barbara just starred at him opening and closing her mouth much like a fish. Did that mean everyone had known about her feelings for Helena?

"I agree Babs, you sure were taking long. Congratulations." Dick interrupted.

Barbara was going to say something when Helena moved to her side.

"Truly Barbara has made me the happiest woman in the world when she accepted." She smiled delightedly.

"Well need to celebrate." Dick announced. "Alfred, Champagne."

Barbara gave Helena her hand and together they headed to the living room, followed by Dinah who kept asking questions.

"Why didn't you invite me?" She whined for the thousand time.

"Because we wanted to have a formal wedding in front of our family and friends, in California it's legal here it isn't." Barbara replied with a patient smile.

"Besides D, I figured you'd love to plan the wedding with Alfred and Barbara." Helena added.

"WHAT!" Both Barbara and Dinah exclaimed stopping at once.

"Yep, we are going to have to have the biggest and most enormous wedding of New Gotham, after all, it's not every day that the only daughter of Bruce Wayne gets married and to the daughter of his best friend Commissioner Gordon, the highly decorated and esteemed teacher Barbara Gordon. My father will be glad to and delighted and I'm sure yours will to Babs, to be in-laws and all." Helena said seriously

"You're joking right?" Barbara asked dismayed but knowing Helena well enough to know she wasn't. "Helena that would be dangerous, although it's rumored no one know really knows that you...

Helena smiled and took both of Barbara's hands in hers. "It's time Red, the past has been left behind and we only have our futures' ahead of us. I understand I know why he did it and I forgive him. Would I have done the same? I don't know, but I do know what loosing the love of your life can do. He deserves to be my father just as much as I deserve to have one. Can we mend the bridges? I don't know but at least we should try, my mother would have liked that." She stated with a timid smile as if the idea was something she hated to admit that after all there was no real reason to hate her father.

Barbara pulled her against herself, hugging her hard and whispering emotionally, "I know she would, your mother would be proud to see the woman you have become and I know that would make her very happy Hel."

Helena squeezed her in return then released her slowly and just when she was about to kiss her Barbara, Dinah's insistent voice caused them to pull apart.

"I know you're still on your honeymoon but we are waiting." She said impatiently and added, "We have a wedding to plan Barbara…"

****

Much, much later at the Wayne mansion. "She's back Master Bruce, married of course…yes sir, with Miss Barbara… I've never seen her happier sir."

Alfred hung up with a satisfied smile. "Yes, master Bruce." He replied to no one. "I think that it's time that you return. You have a wedding to attend."
