Her voice rang out across the room, casting a spell, freezing the three of them in place. Larry gaped at her with equal parts awe and fear, while Sandra’s dark eyes grew wide with wonder. But it was Barbara’s reaction that Dinah would never forget. Her hand flew to her chest, and she stared at Dinah with silent tears streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, Dinah saw a sudden glimpse of the young woman she used to be—a daughter, a best friend, a Batgirl, with the world at her feet. Barbara was trying to find her way back…just like they all were.

Dinah climbed out of the ring and stood before her.

“Mom wrote that for you, didn’t she?”

Barbara managed a smile through her tears. “Yes. I was so sure I would never get to hear it sung out loud again.”

Dinah turned to her dad, taking his hand. “You saved this song for a reason. You could have thrown the sheet music away, but you didn’t—because you knew how important Barbara was to Mom. Which makes her important to me.” Dinah took a deep breath. “I’m not leaving. Now that I’ve found this missing piece of Mom—of me—I’m not letting go.”

Larry gazed down at her sadly.

“I never wanted this for you, Dinah. It’s the whole reason I didn’t tell you who your mother really was. Being the Black Canary comes with more danger and risk than you can imagine, and it’s not worth the price.”

Dinah could feel her heart twisting at her dad’s plea. But there was no going back.

“I have to do this, Dad. She gave me this voice—and I’m going to use it.”
