After finishing my notes on David Cain, I stared at my phone to wait for my next patient. The files said that he and Bruce Wayne used to be childhood friends, so this was going to be an interesting one.
I looked up as I heard the door open and my patient walked in. He had auburn hair and was wearing a black bullet proof vest, a brown trench coat, and red gloves.
"Mr. Elliot, I'm Dr. Liebermann." I said as I held out my hand to him.
He just stood there and stared at my hand. Before I could react, he grabbed my hand and held onto it so hard that I felt like it was breaking.
"Nice to meet you." he said before taking a seat.
I groaned, looking at my hand, which was turning red from his strong grip. I ignored the pain as I turned my recorder on.
"This is Dr. Miles Liebermann. The time is 11:27 AM on September 10. The patient's name is Thomas Brandon Elliot, alias Hush." I said.
"Go on and ask away." he said.
"What was your childhood like?"
"It was wonderful, I got everything I wanted. Bruce Wayne was my best friend since our parents were friends. If I didn't get what I wanted, there was hell to pay."
I nodded and asked, "What caused you two to fall apart?"
"I think it had to do with the deaths of his parents. He became distant and we stopped talking to each other. Suddenly, years later, he comes back and has trained to be the best thing ever." he said. "I felt inferior, so I trained to be the best too."
"Is it true that you were a former medical intern?"
"Yeah, I learned to do some surgery during my time as an intern."
"Here's my last question: what's your relationship with Batman?" I asked.
"Well, I DO know his secret identity, but I'm not telling. That Nygma guy calls it the Ultimate Riddle or something weird like that. Personally, I'm not fond of the Bat." he said.
I turned off my recorder and opened the door for him, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Elliot."
"And thank you, doctor." he said before leaving my office.
I sat down at my desk and took my notes, thinking about what other interviews I was going to do in the futureā¦
