"Did you live a virtuous life?" Lance said calmly, "God is merciful, even to the wicked… He would have forgiven Judas Iscariot if he asked."

"Me, yes. My parents— they sinned to save me and my brother. I don't know where he is."

"How did your parents sin to save you?!" Its it was for a good reason, it would not be considered a sin, right?

Estella squeezed her eyes shut. "Burned down a church. It– it's a long story. The terrorists were all there with us."

"Ohh, that is bad." He placed his hand on his head, manly to check if he was heating up. "I don't know what I can do for you there… And at this point, I don't know if you can ever see them again…. Once your in Heaven you wont even worry about you parent or anyone that might be in that bad place."

"I won't remember?" Her voice sounded lost and scared.

"No, you will remember them, but when your in Heaven you are whole and pure, you know what's right and what's wrong, you know the wrong doing of you family and the harm they caused to our Lord, and you will love him so much that you will feel more sorry for him then for you family…. You will feel justified that they are being punished for the harm they caused to him."

"But they did it to save the orphans……", she whispered.

"Yet again… I don't know if they are in Hell!! Ok! Stop asking me these questions! I'm the Angel of Death, not the Angel of Answering questions!"

Estella backed up, trying to process this information. "Are you old enough to remember 1972?"

"Yes, but at that time I was probably in my bed eating candy." He answered.

"Oh. Nevermind then." Estella stepped back again. "How do I call my Ángel again?"

"Uhhhhhhhh……………………………………………….." He raised his eye brow in thought, "Say, "Sup Angel, Where U at?! Ok, ok, I clearly don't know! I never had a Guardian Angel before."

"I'm sorry for wasting you time, sir.", she said quietly, and turned to leave.

"Awwwwwwwww…" he said softly, "Now I'm lonely."

She looked back over her shoulder. "I thought you wanted me to leave? Scary lion tamer?"

"Er, I'm still here, sir." Robin put in awkwardly.

"Yeah!!" He said happily, hugging the boy. "Thank you for staying!"

Robin wasn't sure how to react. He wasn't hugged often. Not that his family didn't love him or anything, it was just they never thought he'd like that kind of thing. He was only really ever hugged when he was having a panic attack.

Estella stood back, letting the boys do their thing.

"I can show you how to fly! And the world!" He cried as he looked up at the sky.

"Er, okay?" Robin had though he was already flying. He and Lance were floating, after all, but supposedly that wasn't flying. Oh well, Robin just let Lance ramble for a while.

"Lets first go to that building over there!" He pointed to a tall red building, "Once up there you can do some real flying!"

Estella opened her mouth hesitantly. "Could– could I come too?"

"What? Um… o-okay." Robin already knew this would go poorly. Sure, he could float, maybe fly, but he was still afraid of heights.

"Yes you can join Estella! The more the merrier!" Taking Robins hand, he lead them both to the building. "Come inside, its lovely here!" Phasing thought the brick wall, he waited for the others in the lovely restaurant.

Estella squeezed her eyes shut as she passed through the wall, following.

Robin hesitated before closing his eyes and walking through the wall, bracing himself for impact. When it didn't come, he cautiously opened his eyes and saw that he had made it through.

"You'll get used to it." Lance smirked, pulling her in. "Isn't this nice?" He said gesturing to the fancy restaurant.

Estella nodded hesitantly, marvelling at how much had changed since the 1960s.
