Mel was quiet partly because when you have superhearing, than tinnitus gets really bad. But also because her babies were crying and she wanted to repack herself into the back seat and rock them gently and distract them with Dino and a strange fluffy yellow blob she doesn't recognise, and clean the blood off them.
Part of the reason she remains quiet even afterwards, as Steph and Sokka gather the fuel up and prepare to drive on to Gotham, is that she had to clean blood off her daughters.
And that she's just murdered a human being. That too.

And Mel gets a brother to sit by.

"She's not going to be down for a while, is she?"

He glances to her - somewhat awkwardly, with her head on his shoulder - and lowers his voice. "How're you doing?"
no subject
"I've been worse."
no subject
"You sure?"
Because he's not, just from watching her all day.
no subject
"I'm not scared, for one. And everyone I love is still..."
But four people she didn't know are dead, so it seems hollow.
"Well, you know."
no subject
"Don't have to be scared to be upset, though."
no subject
"She went after Loo."
no subject
So he turns to press his brow to her temple and says, very quiet, "I believe you."
no subject
"Who does that? Goes after a baby?"
no subject
Just in case.
"Crazy people?" Sokka guesses, shrugging a little. "Starving people? Crazy, starving people? I dunno, Mel, but I don't think there's a mom in the world who wouldn't have done exactly what you did, no matter who was pointing the gun."
no subject
"Other moms might try."
Yeah, she knows she's awesome.

"Check her out. She's just had the best day ever."

Mel ponders it for a second, then shrugs. "They're going to be OK."

"You had to deal with me as I came. The girls are still young and moldable."

Mel jerks her face away from his probing fingers and scowls, though she's trying not to laugh
" - is because you know I'd kick your ass if you did."
no subject
no subject
"I'm always hoping you'll see sense."
no subject
Mel, however, gets a smirk. "I'll see it when you do," he promises.
