[psl] Church/Tex reunion
There are several choices for Tex after she crash-landed at Valhalla. She knows that Maine is pursuing her, and she knows her presence in combination with Omega and Gamma being there as well will draw him there. No one can account for the choices we make. In most cases she would have chosen to stay there, face him, and fight, yet there's one thought that keeps running through her mind, and that's Church's complete vulnerability.
She has no idea about the fact that the time distortion unit caused it to take a year for the ship to crash. She just absconds as soon as the ship is down. She makes her way back to Blood Gulch. She tells herself it's just exploratory, just to check on him, make sure things are okay, but she finds that he's gone. How can he be gone? She roots through the computer systems there, figures out it's been much longer than could ever make sense, and finds Church's relocation orders.
And so she's gone again, traveling with her invisibility on to avoid drawing Maine's attention. She reaches the base Church had been assigned to only to find that it's crumbling, the wall damaged. At least that makes infiltrating easy. She doesn't trust that he won't have some kind of protection—Flowers is dead, but surely the Director intends to keep him under guard. So she enters the base and stalks around, intending to kill anyone she finds inside besides Church, but there's no one. No one at all.
This is weird. He must be under surveillance, she thinks. She needs to meet up with him, but she needs for it to be without the Director knowing, so she exits the base and sets a charge off in the rocks outside. The plan is for him to notice the explosion and to go investigate. She positions herself behind the barrier there and materializes, waiting.

Church had had no idea, before now, that they were emotional cores or that he was tortured. All he knew was that he was under some stress and it had something to do with how Tex was made. And now that he does know, it’s real hard for him to deal with.
“Don’t trust Sigma to get this right?” he finally asks. “So, does that mean you think that there is a way to do what he’s trying to do correctly?”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” says Church. “But I felt like I had to ask that anyway.”
sorry for taking one million years to answer this
"Do you...do you feel like you need those pieces of you back?"

“Well,” Church replies. “When Omega was in my mind, it didn’t suck quite as much as I thought it would.”
In fact, Church had been ready to surrender himself to Omega right then and there, just so someone else - who, Church supposes, wasn’t really someone else, after all - could handle his fucked up mess of a life.
“So, yeah, I do,” Church says.

"You want him back," she says flatly. "Omega. You want him."
