Got Your Back, Always

I.XVI

Rachel said, "I need to talk to him. Alone."

"Don't think that's a good idea," Dick starts pacing.

"Why? 'Cause I can't take care of myself?"

"That's not the point."

Cassie gives him a look, which he ignores.

"I need to find out who he is. Why he's chasing me."

"I don't trust him."

Kory interjected, leaning on the table, "What's not to trust? The man's tied up. One word from Rachel, and I'll walk in and put my foot through his face." Cassie points in agreement with Kory.
"Dick, please," Rachel looks to Cassie then to Dick.

Dick sighs, "Five minutes."

"Thank you." Rachel goes into the bathroom where Adamson is.

A few minutes later she had come out with blood on her hands, shaking. She explained what happened and the three adults went into the bathroom to talk to the man once again. Gar was with Rachel so they knew she would be ok. 

Kory looks at the man, "How did you know she could do that?"

"I know everything about her. She will purify the world," Dr. Adamson responds.

"There's a prophecy that says Rachel will destroy the world."

 "An interpretation based on fear."

Dick grabs him and shoves him against the glass, "What do you want with Rachel."

"She will purify the world," Dr. Adamson grunts.

"I'm not gonna ask you again."

Cassie crossed her arms, "I'd answer him if I were you."

"To reunite her with her father," Dr. Adamson pants.

Dick and her share a look. "Who is he? Where is he?"

"I don't know. I swear. You can't stop him. Angela couldn't. Melissa couldn't. No one can keep Rachel from him."

"Who's Angela?" Kory walks closer, "You said she couldn't keep Rachel from him. Who is Angela?"

Dr. Adamson groans more as Dick presses him harder into the glass, "Her mother. Angela is her mother."

"Now we're getting somewhere. Let's talk about Angela."
