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.

Sokka frowns but does, at least, attempt to consider this. "Will you leave the girls in with us?"

"Course."

Mel grins and does check his shoulder this time. "Keep them warm."

Sokka rolls his eyes but allows the shoulder-checking, if only because Mel's agreed with him on something. "'Course."

Mel grins and scoops the girls both up gently from the ground. they protest sleepily, but don't wake.

"Shall I tuck you all in?"

"I'm gonna pretend like you're just talking about Hana and Loo, but Steph probably wouldn't mind either."

Mel smirks.

"You pretend what you like."

"I will."
