Every little girl dreamed of their wedding day, but Helena Bertinelli never thought hers would have ended up like this. Sure the dress was beautiful and everything was perfect and right out of a fairy tale, but Helena hadn’t really cared. She had barely payed attention during most of the ceremony until the end when they were pronounced man and wife.

Adan jussed her and the two turned to face the assembled crowd. She forced a smile and waved. Adam escorted her to the great banquet hall where the reception was to take place. A few more hours of forcing herself to smile and then she would have to worry about the wedding night.

To say that leaving Helena by herself in Khandaq at the hands of Black Adam unsettled Barbara was a bit of an understatement. She hadn't stopped worrying about her teammate and friend since she had left with the rest of the Birds.

She didn't trust Black Adam. The fact that he just wanted Helena, and not the rest of them struck several nerves, and she wasn't just going to let Helena be stuck there at the mercy of someone that they didn't know all that much about.

The second she got back to Gotham, Barbara wheeled her way into her control room and fired up all her systems.

She could call the JLA, or Batman, even. But right now, she'd call someone that Helena trusted.

In a matter of minutes, Barbara got a secure comm line out to a certain hero in Star City.

"Arsenal, this is Oracle. Do you copy?"

The first day had been spent wandering outside around the grounds of the palace. Helena had a hard time sitting still and being confined to a certain area had made it harder. Dinner had been tense, but Helena had been polite and on her best behavior. She had even put a filter between her brain and mouth to not offend her host.

The second day she spent wandering inside the palace. She had to admit that it was very beautiful. She could almost imagine herself as a princess and living in a place like this. Though as beautiful as it was, it was still a cage. A week could be a very long time.

Helena walked slowly down a long hallway and looked at the masterpieces that adorned the walls.

"A vacation would do you some good," Babs said. Helena was still wondering why she went along with this. She didn't need a vacation. What she needed was to be out on the streets of Gotham kicking some bad guy ass. That was the best therapy and stress relief one could ask for.

As it was they were on a plane on their way from India to Egypt. They had spent four days in India and had seen the Taj Mahal and were now on their way to Cairo to spend a few days in Egypt to see the pyramids. Granted Helena did enjoying seeing the Taj Mahal, she still didn't think she needed a vacation.

She sat on the plane and looked out the window to watch the clouds go by.
