"After the loss of her family's home, I didn't see it wise to allow Dr. Young to continue her sessions with Garfield Lynns, aka Firefly. But she unfortunately would not budge no matter how much I or even Professor Strange advised her to allow either of us to speak to him. I only hope she doesn't allow her anger to make her do anything foolish." Dr. Jeremiah Arkham
Dr. Young: Taped interview number 8. The patient's name is Garfield Lynns otherwise known as Firefly. The patient suffers from Pyromania, anti-social personality disorder, and severe hallucinations. Some of these hallucinations involve believing that the flames themselves happen to be living and breathing as a human being.
Firefly: Oh, so you've seen them too?
Dr. Young: No Garfield, I haven't.
Firefly: But you've heard them right?
Dr. Young: No Garfield! You have to understand that the fire isn't alive like us!
Firefly: Says who?! "laughs" You haven't seen them like I have Doc. Man, they're so beautiful. They speak to me you know, Fire isn't evil Doc, it's an amazing gift. Mankind's greatest creation. It can create just as well as destroy! There's so much darkness and misery in Gotham, and I'm fire's vessel to spread it's warmth and love of its light.
Dr. Young: Come now Garfield, you can't seriously believe that fire is telling you to burn innocent people alive, or destroy their homes. You can't seriously tell me that you're doing them good, all the damage you cause! There are still people who are suffering from losing their homes Garfield!
Firefly: And what, that's suppose to be my fault that they're ungrateful jerks?
Dr. Young: Ungrateful?! Two of those "ungrateful jerks" are my parents! They lost everything after what you did back in Remembrance Day!
Firefly: Those were...are still mad at me for that?!
Dr. Young: Of course I am! They just got the money to rent out that place and you burnt it down to the ground!
Firefly: Oh come on Doc, that was a long time ago.
Dr. Young: It was one week!
Firefly: Oh yeah. Sorry Doc, but you gotta admit, I was pretty busy that day. head wasn't really all there. Hell I don't even remember last week most of the time. But you know, I wish I could have done a bit more for you guys. Probably would have too, if Batman didn't come along. Damn bat, first he gets in between me and my girl, and now he's spoiling everything else, even bringing those killjoys with him sometimes.
Dr. Young: Killjoys? Oh yes, the Gotham City Fire Department. Sigh, thank God for them.
Firefly: Yeah, thank God for them. Thank God for them ruining my work! Thank God for allowing the scum of Gotham to keep stinking up the town! Thank God and long may they have blessed lives! Bastards.
Dr. Young: Well I for one am happy they came. If it weren't for either them or Batman my parents wouldn't be alive, and neither would anyone else for that matter.
Firefly: Yeah, I guess you're right. See Doc, there isn't anything wrong with a little heat.
Dr. Young: I wouldn't call your show a "little heat". The whole apartment complex burning to the ground and everyone living in it lost all of their treasured possessions forever.
Firefly: So?
Dr. Young: Garfield, why are you insisting on pushing my buttons today?
Firefly: Mainly because you're pushing mine.
Dr. Young: How?!
Firefly: Trying to make out to be the bad guy here, when all I'm trying to do is be a good citizen!
Dr. Young: Good citizens don't do what you did Garfield! Now please, I'm trying to help you! We are trying to help you! Don't you want to live a normal life?! Don't you want to live with the people and not against them?! Don't you want to cure your pyromania?! Or even heals those burns you have?! They can't be comfortable for you!
Firefly: If it means living in the shadows of Gotham's deceit, then no thanks Young. I'll take my flames any day, and these burns are a reminder of what I am now. The voice of flames, for they can't speak for themselves. So forget it Young, and you can take that up with Arkham too. You and him can take that cream and shove it.
Dr. Young: Really now. "Sigh" Well, then I suppose we're done for the day.
Firefly: "Chuckles" Alrighty. Sounds good to me. You know Doc, I really think that we made a breakthrough with you today.
Dr. Young: With me? How?
Firefly: Now that you got your fit out of your system, we can actually talk like adults next time.
