"I just have one question before we start, Doctor." The Riddler paced around the room, examining his surroundings.

"What's that?" Dr.Holmes replied.

The Riddler stopped his pacing and turned his gaze upon Raven,"Who is this lovely lady in our prescence this morning?" He began to approach Raven when Dr.Holmes stopped him in mid-step,"She is an apprentice counciler. She is nervous so, dont do anything stupid, Edward."

Nygma sighed,"Fine, I just wanted to get to know her better. I've never seen her before."

"Well,"Dr.Holmes pulled out a notebook and pen,"I suppose I could fill you in on a few details about her if, of course, its alright with you Raven."

Raven looked up from the files, the Riddler was looking her straight in the eyes,"Uh, yeah. I dont mind, go right ahead."

"Very well,"Dr.Holmes began,"This is Raven McKane. She just moved here about three months ago, thats why you have not seen her before. She is a deliverer and filer here at the asylum, or was until today. With a little luck, she just might become your personal counciler."

Edward seemed interested in the idea that Raven could be his counciler. He thought she was quite a sight. He especially admired her sparkling blue-gray eyes,'Beautiful, eyes like a storm cloud.' he thought.

"So, Raven is it? What brings you here today?"

Before Raven could answer, Dr.Holmes interupted,"She is here on observation. She will be overseeing our session."

Edward nodded and plopped down on the couch behind him,"Well then. Let's get started."

Dr.Holmes sat down at his desk and flipped open his notebook,"So, Edward. I believe the question on everyone's mind is: Why did you break out?"

The Riddler grinned,"The same reason everybody else is trying to break out. It's boring! And plus, the food tastes horrible. This place should really consider hiring a better cook."

'Wait until Ellen hears that one,'Raven thought with a small grin on her face. Dr.Holmes shook his head but continued his questioning,"What did you do in the three months that you were absent,Mr.Nygma?"

"What is this, a police interrogation? That is none of your bee's wax." Edward gave Dr.Holmes a very cross look.

David ignored it,"Edward, please. You dont have to tell me every little detail, just tell me something."

Nygma thought for a minute,"Lets just say i've been...planning."

Raven tilted her head in interest,"Planning what?"she blurted out before she could stop herself.

A sly smile crept across the Riddler's lips,"Nothing much. Just a few things to solve something that has been on my mind."

Raven had finally found her courage to speak,"What are you trying to solve, Riddler?"

"Please, call me Edward. I can't tell you at the moment, with nosy doctors snooping inside my mind," Edward glared at Dr.Holmes.

Raven nodded,"Maybe you could tell me later, that is, if you trust me enough by then."

Dr.Holmes continued,"Now Edward, I am interested to know something. What did you think of when you first saw Raven?"

Edward let out a small laugh,"Well,I'll start by saying that she is a rather charming lady. I would feel much better about staying here if she would come and visit me every day." His gaze was once again aimed at Raven, as if trying to pursuade her to confirm that last sentence.

Raven broke under the gaze of his dark eyes. She smiled a little,"Edward, if it would really make you feel better, and if it will make you stay here, I suppose I could work something out with the doctors."

Edward grinned, a bit triumphantly, and leaned back on the couch.

"Well, this seems good,"Dr.Holmes smiled,"It seems you have found a friend fairly quickly, Edward. And Miss Raven seems to be comfortable in your prescence now, excellent. I believe our session is done for today you two. I'll call the security to escort Mr.Nygma back to his cell."

"If its not too much, Dr.Holmes,"Raven piped in,"Do you think I could follow them and talk to Edward further?"

Dr.Holmes nodded,"Sure, thats no problem."

The session only lasted about 20 minutes.Security had come to pick up the Riddler and take him back to his cell. The group traveled through the halls in silence,Raven was thinking about what the Riddler was planning and why he was planning it. She wanted to know, and she was going to find out.
