This is a weird tale about one of my favorite characters in the JLU…what would happen if the Kook got lock down in a mental facility? Are the doctors ready? Are the inmates ready?
Therapy
One night, after a long evening of drinking, Q was thrown out of the bar as usual, have been a couple of hard days since being dumped by Helena. On his way home he spotted a nun walking down the road.
After looking at her twice he ran over and tackled her, then proceeded to beat the living shit out of her.
Some people passing by spotted this and called the police.
As the police were pulling him away in handcuffs he looked back and said, "I thought you'd be tougher than that, Batman." Scream while being taken into police custody.
The judge after being call from Bruce Wayne reconsidered the case and send Vic Sage formerly known as "The Question" to face sentence to 4 weeks in a recovering facility….the hospital would never be the same.
This is his tale…
Day 1
Pete the "male nurse" was getting the medicines out of the cabinet of the patient when the Question explained:
The first thing Pete pulled down was a bottle of pills that had been prescribed by a doctor who died six years ago. At this point he had no idea what the prescription was for and, frankly, I'm not even sure it was for me, as the label had faded a long time ago. But since I don't know what it's for, I'll never know when I'll need it. So I told him to put it back…Pete agreed.
I also told him he should also probably keep my vertigo pills, even though a yellow sticker on the side warns: May Cause Dizziness! Now, you can look at this two ways. 1.) Don't take anything that might cause dizziness; or 2.) While the vertigo will make me dizzy in one direction, the pills will make me dizzy in another direction, countering the effects.
Pete wasn't sure about the drugs left in the counter but he started to find out how this patient got here in the first place.
Dr. Angel Cruz was a psychiatrist with a strong resume dealing with neurotic and paranoid characters or "nut jobs" so he thought that the subject Vic Sage would be a walk in the park…he was wrong…the room was green and comfortable and a long couch was in front of him…Vic just made his entrance…a six foot and two hundred pound faceless guy walked in…the doctor was startled by his presence…he would not be intimidated by the subject…so he stood up and presented himself.
-Hi I'm Dr. Cruz- The doctor tried to get a handshake.
-I know- The question asked.
-May I implied how do you know? - The doctor responded.
-I can read the tag…I'm faceless not blind- The question reacted.
-Do you know why you are here? - The doctor asked trying to start with a question.
-They say I beat the living crap of a nun- the question added with disdain.
-Do you believe you did? - The doctor was trying to take notes.
-It was a Batman plan with the help of my ex- Q was certain of his answer.
-Why did you bring you ex into this? - The doctor was sitting next to him.
-She is Italian- Q responded.
-You say because she is Italian she is prone to violence- The doctor was taking notes.
-Have you seen the godfather? - Q asked with a neutral tone of voice.
-Yes- The doctor responded.
-She is like ten times worst than the godfather daughter, you remember the one that had a husband that used her like a sparring partner without gloves…she hated her brothers until she died- Q kept talking then suddenly felt like thinking about butterflies, damn this drugs are good.
-I don't understand the analogy- The Dr. responded with a sarcastic tone.
-The guy who supposedly killed my "ex" parents got hit by over a ton of material from the port- Q added.
-Did the guy manage to survive? - The Dr. was trying to make small talk.
-For his misfortune yes, next time she will use a helicopter to chop him off- Q responded with a sarcastic smile.
-Why do you say she wanted to imprison you? -The doctor asked while taking more notes, he felt weird because the results don't add up.
-We where watching the matrix and I told her she looked liked Monica Bellucci- Q responded.
-Is that something to be upset about? that woman is one of the sexiest girls in the world- The doctor responded.
-She happens to be fat- Q responded.
-OK, moving on why do you say it was Batman? - The doctor was trying to see if he made up an external tormentor.
-Calamine- The question added.
-Excuse me- the Dr. didn't understand what did have to do with the question he just made.
-I had a theory about Batman's underwear- Q was getting comfortable on the couch.
-And it was? - The doctor felt played by the patient, he was loosing his cool.
- I traded the calamine for liniment- Q was getting comfortable.
-And the result was…- The doctor was feeling frustrated with Q who wasn't going for his techniques.
-He couldn't work for a week- Q responded with satisfaction…-and I also made 300 bucks-
-How did you manage that? - The doctor was trying not to think about the discomfort of a burned groin area.
-I bet Wonder Woman wouldn't work either- Q was getting sleepy… those drugs they were giving him had some soothing effect, he felt like sleeping….so he moved to the side and left the doctor by himself.
-Excuse me- The doctor was now upset with Q.
-Do you know what do all those heroes have in common? - Q asked.
-Besides being brave and bold- The Doctor reacted.
-They all were tights…it could have happen to anyone- Q lowered his tone of voice.
The doctor felt a cold feeling in his back, he got scared.
-This is the part where you going to ask me what day it is- Q responded without looking back.
-Do you known what they it is? - The Dr was almost hysterical.
-Monday, 4 o'clock in the afternoon- Q responded now returning to his initial position.
-How did you know that? - The doctor was surprised that he knew the date and the time.
-Some stupid guy left the newspaper on top of the desk and when I moved I could see the clock outside your room.
-Are you calling me stupid? - The Dr. was now furious…
-Did you left the paper on top of the desk? – Q responded.
-Maybe yes, maybe not- The doctor was trying to make Q go angry while keeping his sanity intact.
-Maybe you are stupid, maybe you're not…but just be sure you know they have this I.Q. Test on the internet…- Q added with a smile.
The doctor felt a switch flipped inside his head…he was going to kill him…but then and alarm sound…the hour was over….Q didn't felt like moving so he stayed sleeping on the couch….Dr. Cruz called for a transfer the same day…he would have nightmares for a week.
Hope you like it, please review.
