Summary
It's Maps' first day of Sophmore year, and she's excited to meet her new English Teacher.
Ms. Bertinelli seems great! She's nice and she has a cat and she says she isn't going to mind control anyone. Triple win!
Coincidently, as Robin, Maps also meets Huntress for the first time, but those two things probably aren't related...

Summary
News arrives in fragments, carried in buzzing whispers by the hive of medical staff that Lexcorp and Wayne Enterprises and STAR Labs and the Army have flown or ferried in: Joker in custody, Essen dead. Electricity restored to several blocks in Coventry and the university sector, sewage and water in the Upper West Side. Novick Tunnel half-cleared. A fresh crop of 1,000 WE hirees dispatched to assist reconstruction efforts in Burnley and Newtown. There are rumors of fireworks tonight.
She hurts everywhere, deeper than just bullet-shredded muscles and bruised bones.
After the No Man’s Land declaration is rescinded, Helena Bertinelli and Gotham City remain on the long road to recovery.

Summary
Again, Helena pleads, eyes closed, breathing heavily into Helly’s mouth, lips brushing as if she could absorb the sound for herself. Helly repeats it over and over until Helena starts laughing, until they both laugh, fallen and holding each other in fists in the snow. She’s perfect.

Summary
Gotham chews people up and spits them out. Helena Bertinelli learned that the hard way—and she stopped believing in redemption a long time ago, especially for herself.
Now, Helena's in Blüdhaven, and Batman’s sending Nightwing to back her up on a case tied to her family. She’s less than thrilled—she works better alone, and the last thing she needs is Gotham’s golden boy shadowing her every move.
Dick Grayson is everything she isn’t: open, easygoing, impossible to shake. She doesn’t have the patience for charm, and he doesn’t take the hint. But the deeper they get into Blüdhaven’s underworld, the harder it is to keep her distance.
Between Dinah Lance telling her to let go of the past and Jason Todd proving that second chances don’t come easy, she’s running out of ways to convince herself she doesn’t care.
She’s not a saint. Neither is he. But in this city, that might have to be enough.
Catholicism and Carl Sagan references abound. Baby’s first romance/slow-burn, multi-chapter fic. Need beta readers!

When Opportunity Knocks, Pick the Lock by Bluestrasa

Summary
Helena Bertinelli is the adopted daughter of Franco and Maria whose world was turned upside down by her family's murder. But if there was one thing she learned about the harsh realities of Gotham at her father's knee, it was to never waste an opportunity.
She pulls her hand out of Catwoman’s and marvels at the guard's silver Rolex that had just been given to her.
“Word to the wise,” Catwoman says, already lengthening her stride to walk away, “nobody in Gotham trusts a lone kid not to pick their pocket. Get a partner.”
She jams the watch in her pocket and jogs after the woman, demanding, “Teach me.”
“Nope,” the thief replies, popping the p sound. “You’re all outta free lessons.”

Tags
Summary
Coming across Jason Todd, who she’d long assumed dead, Helena can’t help but take an interest in him. Partly because she hates seeing so much of who she used to be in him and partly because she knows who he has been. What he could be. If that means getting familiar, personal, then so be it. She just hopes she can keep her growing fondness at a distance.

Summary
In the aftermath of the quake that shook Gotham, Helena Bertinelli takes on the mantle of the Bat. (It isn’t like Batman’s using it.) If she’d known the cowl came with a certain moralizing little bird following her around — well, she probably still would’ve done it, but it would’ve been nice to know in advance.
(Or: Tim and Helena team up 2: electric boogaloo. Now with more bats!)

Summary
The figure that stepped out of the shadows and into the flickering light from the fireplace was Talia, holding something in her arms.
“Why are you here?” Helena asked. She didn't need any more pity, any more people pretending they knew how she felt, that they could understand her grief. She had lost her son. Nothing anyone could do was going to make it better.
“I need your help, beloved.”
--
In a world where Helena Bertinelli is the one to lose her parents in a mugging and don the sign of the bat, her relationship with the Daughter of the Demon is still just as close.

Summary
Helena Bertinelli grows up with a soulmate. ‘Michael Staton’. He is green and she is purple. She spends years and years watching her father, a mob boss, ruin lives. She is 14 and her father kills Thomas. ‘A distraction. He will stop you from growing!’ Her father yells. She fumes in silence. His green disappears from her arm. No new writings appear and she screams. Her room is ripped apart and she hunts her prey. Her father goes into hiding bouncing cities faster than she can get there.
She spends years killing, mob bosses, abusive parents, anything and anyone that hurts someone. She doesn’t care. She is trained by the best of the best. Her arms stay bare and hidden. No one sees her arms, no one can know she doesn’t have a soulmate because he is dead.
