I was so glad that I didn't have to wait long for my next patient to arrive. When I saw him though, I regretted it since I've heard the stories. Like Scarecrow, the files said to not ask him to take off the mask.

My patient was dressed in a black and white suit with black gloves and a black mask that resembled a skull. Gulping, I held out my hand for him to shake.

"Mr. Sionis? I'm Dr. Liebermann." I said.

"Nice to meet you, doctor…" he said in a cold tone as he shook my hand before taking a seat.

I turned on my recorder, saying, "This is Dr. Miles Liebermann. The time is 11:30 AM on August 29. The patient's name is Roman Baxter Sionis, alias Black Mask."

"Ask me whatever." he said with a shrug.

"What was your childhood like?"

"Awful, just…awful. My father abused me while my mother could give less of a shit. I did everything in my power to make sure no one hurt my little sister, Laura. When I was around sixteen, I butchered my father. His corpse was so mutilated that the GCPD couldn't even recognize him. I have no idea what happened to my mother, but the last thing I heard about my sister was that she was put into foster care. She probably doesn't even know that I still exist."

My eyes widened upon hearing all this. This had to be the most graphic description of someone's childhood I've gotten so far.

Revenge of the daddy issues…I thought.

"The files mention that you're obsessed with Bruce Wayne. Care to elaborate on that?" I asked.

"My father despised Thomas Wayne. Bruce was the golden boy, so my father abused me because I'm NOTHING like him…" he said.

"Does the name Selina Kyle mean anything to you? Security is advised to keep you two apart because Miss Kyle will attack you on sight."

"No, not at all. Is she the cat girl?"

I nodded, but knew in the back of my mind that he was probably lying about not knowing her. Clearing my throat, I moved onto the last question.

"Mr. Sionis, what's your relationship with Batman like?" I asked.

He rolled his eyes and said, "I hate that flying rodent. He thinks he can just strut in and try to shut down MY business! Ugh, why does he even bother?"

Because you're a criminal? I thought as I turned off my recorder and shook his hand.

"Thank you for talking to me, Mr. Sionis."

"I'll be seeing you around, doctor…"

He got up from the chair and left the office, leaving me by myself to wait for the next patient.

Author's Note: If I got anything wrong, I'm sorry. I don't know much about this character, so I took artistic liberties.
