A long corridor that is filled with questions…
I felt compelled to put a nice FACE for the loving lady in this gruesome environment and awful circumstances…sorry about that I was reading Hamlet last night (drama, drama) besides the stating the obvious (I have no FACE!) to see Helena after all this time, but come to think of it, this is all her fault, not that I would ever admitted it in from of anyone…not including Wonder Woman and her special "truth telling" lasso, Do you imagine the things that might come out of my mouth? I've guess that is why she never tried it on Batman…she is not bold enough.
-What did you do to her? - Pete asked Q with sincerity.
-I told her the truth- Q responded while enjoying his Ice Cream.
-And that pissed her off? - Pete responded with confusion.
- She asked me if I thought she was fat and I told her she was fat as a cow- Q added.
Pete "the male nurse" walked behind Q and lifted his head up to the sky and watched the clouds…it was going to be a dark rainy day, the movement didn't go unnoticed by Q who said…they are looking for ways to poison you….believe me….I know… especially after going over you email account, medical records, and credit cards account…a pink elephant, my god!! Is that not weird I don't now what is?
Pete who was used to this crazy conversations pretended to go along this time just to see what the patient only known as "Q" had to offer: - Who?- and most important -Why do you say so?-
-"Your mother… she had high hopes for you in College, but you wanted to become a male nurse and hide yourself here"- Q responded with a smile.
-Do you know my mother?- Pete was feeling bit curious after seeing the number played on Dr. Irving with the wife.
-"I guess I know Indhira….I also happened to known about Chaz"- Q responded again now stopping a moment to think about the little number he is going to play on Pete "the male nurse"
-And? - Pete was a little bit uncomfortable with a patient knowing about his private life.
-You know Pete (pretending to be likable) people should mind their own business and just let others be (that is one of the best political lines...sorry lies ever) if I were you, I go to Spain a bullfight a matador…(where do I come up with this shit?) but going out with your football buddie is such a cliché.
-Yeah, my mom has been bummed since I told her about Chaz (the tackler of his heart), but do you think she is capable of poison me? - Pete was now feeling very scared… this guys had the weirdest way to prove a point.
-And how is your father taking it?- Q tried to mimic Dr. Irving's pose but the ice cream made it difficult, damn those chocolate chips.
-He is cool with that, I guess he always knew…- Pete responded with a smile.
-So you actually think the Ricky Martin poster, the Calvin Klein ads and the ice skating fascination didn't tip him off? - Q asked with awe. Some people can be so naïve.
-Are you always this dense? - Pete was now furious.
-Yes- Q responded…then looked around and watched a sing the read: "The visiting room"…not that he had any visitor…ever.
-Pete moved to the side and pushed the bowl of Ice Cream to the ground… Pete was a couple of inches taller than him but outweighted him by over a hundred pounds… it seems that he and Chaz had other hobbies, did I hear dumbbells anyone?
Q dropped the plastic spoon so Pete's eyes would look down and in a quick motion Q head butted the mastodon with such precision that the unconscious fellow landed against the wall… Q then knelt to pick up the fedora hat…and opened the door.
Helena was wearing a beautiful brown 3 piece business suite and her beautiful hair was in a long ponytail… with couple of months without any entertainment but TV action or a strip club she was looking devilishly sexy…in more ways than one.
-How are they treating you Q? - Helena's tone was neutral, like a lawyer or a doctor on a first check up, before they seen you naked…or charge you the first fat bill.
-I get to beat the crap of a male nurse- Q responded with the most dignity a man wearing bunny slippers and a fedora hat can.
-How many hits? - Helena asked while extending her hand on a professional manner.
Q lifted his right hand with one finger up, but didn't notice the handshake; he was pretty bummed about getting chocolate chip on his fedora. That is one of the thing that made being lock up so difficult, you can't get dry cleaning service.
Helena gave him a thumps up look and then added with disdain:" Going all out against people that care for others?" What, super villains were not doing the trick anymore?" What is next…Doctors?
-Is your baby blue eyes sex puppet going to med school anytime soon? - Q responded.
-No that I know of… Hey! how do you know about him? - Helena screamed at him.
-That is the question- Q responded with a smile.
-But if he does, he is going to help people live longer- Helena was getting her composure back.
-As opposed to you killing them, does he know how did you pay your rent? - Q was being sarcastic…a doctor and an assassin, what are the chances?
-You haven't changed one bit since being locked up in here- Helena replied back.
-We have been over this in the JLA. If you have nothing new to add I'll go and watch Oprah- Q said with irony.
-If I think you were capable of listening, I'll shut up- Helena's eyes glow with discomfort.
-That makes no sense at all- Q moved his shoulder in amazement, this is not what he expected…
-There must be something abnormal and twisted inside of you- Helena's face flustered with anger.
-That's so close-minded. I'm not 'abnormal', I'm special- Q replied back with a smile.
-Always with the gun-ho attitude, take charge, search and destroy! - Helena quickly and sadly replied.
-I wish I could have a non sexual comeback…but I'm too horny- Q answered and smiled back…
-I have a life now, no more killings, no more being the strong one, just a girl named Helena...a dinner and a movie kind of girl- Helena was having doubts about coming here, she expected him to be different, to care for the gesture…but he will never change.
-It all amounts to you being bored with your boy toy- Q responded.
-You know… You're abrasive and annoying and come on way too strong, like... chilli with red peppers. When you're crazy about chilli, that's fine, but, no matter how much you love chilli, you have too much of it, it takes the roof of your mouth off. And then you never want to see chilli for a really, really long time, but you wake up one day, and you think... God, I really miss chilli…but is bad to your heath…as so are you.
-Does that mean I'm hot and steamy? - Q drew closer to her…he could smell her perfume…a soft vanilla essence, her presence was intoxicating…she didn't move, there was passion in the air…
-Do you think that two people who weren't meant to be together may find peace close to each other? Maybe they'll get a happy ending just because they both want it so much.- Helena's eyes were closed and her fist clenched together.
-Yeah that is how it usually works- Q was almost kissing her.
The door opened, it was Pete "the male nurse"and he was scared…. The patients were loose inside the building and they couldn't go out…they were trapped inside the room.
