Titans (2018)

She was strong

Mal's Pov
The ride to the church was very quiet. Well, what else did you expect? Rachel was pissed off and angry at Dick for leaving her. Kory wasn't really fond of Dick and then there was me. I just sat there next to Rachel and locked out of the window. It was too quiet. I turned my head to Rachel who was looking out the window just like I did seconds ago.,,Are you alright?",I asked her. She turned to me and just nodded as an answer. Then she turned her attention back to looking out of the window. I sighed slightly.,,Let's try it again later...",I thought and looked to Dick who was looking at Rachel through the rearview mirror. He quickly turned his attention back on the road. This would be a long long day....

At the church
As soon as Dick had parked, we all got out of the car and Rachel ran inside. Dick wanted to follow her but I put a hand on his shoulder.,,Let's give her some time alone before we talk to her. Ok?",I suggested and looked him in the eyes. He looked at the church and then back at me.,,Alright.",was his answer.,,C'mon. Let's get some coffee.",Kory meant and walked inside. There was something about her that seemed strange...Except for the fact that she had powers or some weapon. Dick and I followed her inside the church. I had to admit that I didn't like churches. Neither my parents or I were religious. I just... I didn't know why but churches always made me feel uncomfortable for some weird reason. So I really had to be nice and appreciate this kindness from the nuns which in my opinion, was way to kind...

,,Thanks.",I mumbled as one of the nuns gave me a cup of coffee. There was only one nun here but still, I felt really uncomfortable being here with her in the same room. I looked around. Dick bemerkte how uncomfortable I was and asked:,,Everything ok?",,Yeah yeah...",I said and drank the coffee.,,Are you not feeling well, Ms.? I could make you some tee if you want one.",the nun inquired. I shook my head.,,No, I'm alright.",I replied and began to think about the green haired boy who I saw at the Rink. There was really no explanation of why I thought that he seemed familiar. How could I know him? And from where?! There was just no way that I knew him...right?,,If you'll excuse me. I'll be right back.",Kory said and smiled slightly. Dick and I nodded and she left.,,I'm gonna try and talk to Rachel.",I told Dick and walked to the church's chapel where I found Rachel. I had thought that she would be here.

,,Hey.",I said and walked to her. She was reading some parts of the bible but looked up at me.,,Hi.",she replied. I sat down on the bench which was in front of her.,,I know that you're not happy about Dick being here and that you're angry at him. I still am too, you know?",I began and looked at her.,,What happened with you?",she suddenly asked.,,What do you mean?",I replied and she rolled her eyes slightly before putting a hand on my arm. The memory of how my Dad was killed, flashed before my eyes.,,I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have...",Rachel apologized and pulled her hand back.,,It's ok. You didn't know... You couldn't know.",I assured her and wiped away the tear which had escaped my eye. I looked at her and she was looking down at the bible which lied in her lap.,,Hey, what happened back at the Rink? That wasn't your fault, ok. Thinks like thst can happen.",I told her. She shook her head.,,I'm dangerous.",she said.,,Rachel...I...",as I thought about the right words to say, I saw that Dick was walking into the room.,,I'll be outside if you need something.",I told her, got up and left. As I was walking past Dick, I held his arm for a brief moment. He looked at me.,,Don't ruin it now.",I said and walked outside the chapel.

I was just looking around the church to find something interesting.,,Hopefully their conversation ends well...",I thought while inspecting a painting.,,Ah, yes... The angel Michael who fights against one of his brothers.",a nun meant and suddenly appeared next to me. I looked to her.,,Lucifer.",I said and she nodded.,,He was God's favorite before he turned on him.",she continued. I only nodded.,,You're not fond of this, aren't you?",she asked. I chuckled slightly.,,Yeah...I never thought about visiting a church ever. Until my best friend dragged me to one.",I answered truthfully.
