Titans (2018)

Doom Patrol

This chapter will be in Malia's Pov as well and will begin where the last has ended. Then it will be as before with the point of views (Becky, Mal. Because the next chapter will be Becky's :D.)

Mal's Pov
We had entered the house and walked into what I assumed was Gar's room.,,You guy want a pop? I've got everything.",Gar asked, put his backpack down and walked behind a bar... Why did he have a bar in his room?!,,Rootbeer? Orange Crush? Grape Crush?",he inquired and stood in front of a drinks fridge.,,I won't say no to a Rootbeer.",I said and Rachel said that she'd like a Grape Crush. I looked around the room and smiled slightly.,,Looks like we've got a geek here.",I thought and grabbed the bottle of Rootbeer which Gar wanted to open for me.,,Thanks but I can do it myself.",I told him and opened the bottle without a bottle opener. He shrugged and opened the bottle which was for Rachel.

,,That's an original. 1948. You've ever seen it?",he meant and looked up to Rachel who was standing in front of a poster of the movie Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein.,,Aren't you a little young to be watching something so old?",Rachel asked and turned to look at him.,,You mean classic. I've got every Abbott and Costello meet a monster.",Gar meant and I giggled slightly.,,You're a geek, aren't ya?",I inquired and sipped my Rootbeer.,,About classic films, vinyl and video games. Yeah, check, check and check. ",Gar said and walked over to Rachel who had a figure in her hands. She stretched it before asking:,,Where did you get all this stuff?",,Uh... You know, around.",Gar answered and took the figure from Rachel.,,It's vintage.",he meant and gave her the Grape Crush.,,I-i don't get out that much.",he added and walked around Rachel. I walked behind the bar and looked at all the drinks Gar had here.,,Yeah, they died.",Gar said and I looked at the two of them for a moment.,,They're probably talking about their parents...",I thought. Poor kids. I didn't listen to the rest of their conversation until Gar asked who the people were whom she was at the roller rink.,,Well, I was one of them.",I mumbled and Rachel answered his question:,,Oh... Uh, you know, just people.",,Thanks, Rachel.",I meant and slightly shook my head.

,,So if your parents are gone... Who lives here?",Rachel asked and I froze for a moment. If what I had thought earlier was true then I should know the answer to her question. But I wasn't 100% sure.,,That is a complicated answer.",Gar said and laughed nervously.,,Gar?!",we heard someone shouting. Gar's smile faded away and she looked kinda nervous.,,Oh oh.",he meant.,,Who is that?",Rachel inquired.,,Shit!",I thought and looked at Gar.,,Uh... The complicated answer.",he replied and the person shouted again:,,Gar, are you down there?",,I need you both to hide.",Gar meant and dragged Rachel to his closet.,,Hide? From what?";Rachel asked.,,Just hide please.",he pleaded and his voice got higher at the end. He pushed Rachel inside the closet and closed the door. I crouched down behind the bar and hoped that no one would see me.

I heard how someone opened the door and walked into the room.,,These footsteps... I know them!",I thought and shut my eyes close. Shit! I was really back here. This could only be a coincidence that Gar lived with them. You're probably wondering who I was talking about. Well, you will find out in just a few seconds!

When the door closed again, I stood back up straight and sighed. I looked at Gar and saw how relieved he was. He turned in his chair and looked towards the closet.,,Oh... That was close. Two players?",he meant and got up to get another controller for Rachel. But then the closet doors were pulled open and Rachel screamed out of shock. Out of reflex, I used my powers to "throw" something out of metal. It hit that guy with a 'clonk'. Therefor, he looked at me and asked surprised:,,Malia?",,Hi Cliff.",I said and got a confused look of Gar.,,All of you. Upstairs. Now!",Cliff ordered and Gar and Rachel walked ahead. I walked past Cliff and before I was out of ear side, I heard him saying:,,It's been years and now she's back." I sighed and remembered something from years ago... Before Becky and I had moved back to Detroit.

Flashback
,,Malia, please set the table. Rebecca, please go and ask Rita if she feels ok to come down and eat with us.",Larry told us and we nodded. Becky and I had been living with these people for almost a year. They were so nice and kind enough to help us. The Chief had help me to control my powers because sometimes some of m body party turned into metal and that hurt It was dangerous too because these parts were like a magnet then. I almost hit Becky once and could've killed her. But that didn't happen anymore because the Chief had ran some blood tests to create a serum from my blood which he had injected me after it was finished. It hurt when it was flowing through my entire blood system but it was worth it!

I had set the table with my powers... Well, everything which was out of metal of course. The other stuff I had put on the table like a normal human. I walked back into the kitchen and saw Larry dancing to a song while cooking. It looked hilarious and I couldn't help but laugh.

,,What are you laughing at young Lady?",he asked me and turned around to look at me. I shook my head laughing.,,you're just jealous of my moves.",Larry meant and I lost it. This was one of the best times here. We could always laugh about something. I loved all of them. Larry, Rita and Cliff. Oh and the Chief of course. They were all just different. They were doomed like Becky and I were....

End of Flashback 

That was such a long time ago and one of the last happy memories here. Everything went wrong because of...,,Malia? Are you listening?",Cliff asked and ripped me out of my thoughts. I looked at him and realized that we were in the living room. When did we get here?,,What?",I replied and he sighed.,,You and the girl need to leave.",Cliff repeated.,,C'mon Cliff! They're cool and besides you seem to know Mal.",Gar interfered and looked at him.,,You don't know her like I do, yes but still they need to go.",Cliff said and I rolled my eyes.,,Are you a robot or a man?",Rachel asked slightly.,,Here we go...",Cliff meant annoyed and looked at her.,,He's a robot man.",Gar excitedly said. I burst out laughing and Cliff turned his attention back to Gar.,,Oh fuck me!",Cliff meant.

,,Cliff was a racecar driver. A pretty famous one too. Until he got into an accident. His body... It was pretty much kaput. Chief managed to save his brain...",Gar told her and knocked on Cliff's head.,,Knock it off!",Cliff meant. I shook my head.,,Idiots.",I mumbled.,,What little there was left of it.",Gar added.,,Hey, they've gotta go before the Chief gets home.",Cliff said again.,,Who's the Chief?",Rachel inquired.,,Oh... He's the greatest Doctor in the world. Saved all of us.",Gar explained and I had to bite my tongue to not say anything bad about Chief. Let's just say that he was the reason why Becky and I had left.,,All of you? Who else lives here?",Rachel asked and turned to look at some stuff. Cliff groaned and dragged Gar a little away from us. They were arguing about this situation.

,,So you've been here before.",Rachel tried to talk to me.,,I can't lie to you. You can look into my thoughts and memories if you'd like. I will not talk about my time being here.",I told her a little coldly. She nodded and decided to let this subject fall.,,Go and explore the house a little.",I suggested and smirked. She nodded again and walked away. This could be fun but on the other hand stupid. I had to get Rachel away from here before the Chief came back. But with Gar liking her and wanting to help her, wasn't easy.,,Damn it! Why did I have to get back here to the Doom Patrol?",I thought and sighed. This was going to be a long day!
