You don't have to come back, unless you want to. I know you think you can't trust anyone but I'd like to help you, if you'd let me. Why is it so difficult for you to let people in, Helena?
Yeah, that's... That's what I hear. All I wanted from him was revenge, Harleen. If it had been the other way, Mom would've done it. They hadn't been together in years. She would've killed for him. And that's when I learned what my mom always knew: Rely on no one but yourself.
You think she could be evil? If you would just take your clothes HOME once in a while, instead of leaving them all over the Clocktower, she wouldn't have found your sweater to begin with. You know what, this is not about clothing, and you know it.
Helena, think about how we learned. How we ALL learned; Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, even YOU - It's more than a tradition, it's a LEGACY; Take in those like us, mentor and train them, never turn away someone with the hunger to become what we are. That's what your father would have done.
I told you trust had to be earned and I was wrong: Trust is a gift. You were there for me when it mattered for both of us. And as for the rest of it, it's an act of faith believing in someone. I believe in you. Whatever your name is.
Redmond. My name is Dinah Redmond, and I have been lying to you about everything. My mother left me with foster parents when I was six, and they taught me to be ashamed of what I was, never to tell anyone, to hide it. Then, when I couldn't hide it anymore, they were gonna take me somewhere. Somewhere to make my powers stop. And I thought if I told you my real name that you'd call them, and they'd take me away.
I've been rethinking this whole do-everything-by-myself thing, Harleen. And I've decided I want to continue therapy, even though I don't have to. Maybe a little help sometimes isn't... SO bad.
