In Too Deep

"Back for more Ms. Young?" I ask the woman in front of me as she sits across from me. She crosses her legs as she opens her agenda.

"Of course Joker. I am your psychiatrist. I'll always be back for more" I laugh and rub my hands together.

"What's on today's menu then?" I ask her and she taps her pen against the sheets of papers.

"How has your week been?" she asks.

"Uneventful Ms. Young. Aside from meeting a new doctor not much has happened. How about you?" I ask and she waved me off.

"Which doctor might this be?" she asks.

"Quinzel" I answer and lean forward. I rest my forearms on my knees.

"Have you had the chance to speak to her?" I nod.

"Just passing by conversation" she nods and writes something down.

"What about those nightmares?" at this her eyes flicker up from her paper.

"What nightmares?" I ask and she places her arm in the middle of her binder.

"Your guard, Timothy has told me that you've been having nightmares for the past two weeks" I laugh.

"I have no idea as to what you're talking about" I say.

I close my eyes and lean back in the sofa. The blonde girl has been the only thing that comes to greet me during late nights. It's absolute torment.

"So you are completely lost on what i'm talking about?" she asks and I nod.

She scoffs in response and I open my eyes.

"Why is it necessary for you to know about my nightmares?" I ask and she smiles.

"So you do have nightmares" she says and I laugh.

"I was speaking metaphorically. Why would they be of importance to you?"

"Metaphorically speaking, you don't remember anything from your past. This case of amnesia could have been brought on from trauma. Maybe something happened in your childhood that has made you block out certain events. Or, this blockage could simply be because of some physical pain" she says to me and I nod.

"Yeah it's 'cause Strange loves to mess with my mind. All those shocks are bound to mess with me on a psychological level" she shakes her head.

"What are you talking about?" she asks and I scoff.

"Don't act like you're not in the loop. You know Strange likes to play with his food. Injecting us with chemicals to see how far he can push us. Ripping us apart and putting us back together for the fun of it" I say to her.

"Professor Strange has done nothing but try to find a cure for your certain illness" she says and I stare into her eyes.

"Either you're an impressive liar or truly oblivious to his actions" she looks confused. Very confused.

"Let's go with the latter" I mumble.

"He said you would do this. You'd panic and lie to avoid your main issue" I roll my eyes.

"I don't have an issue. I'm fine. It's everyone else that's gone completely mad" I tell her and she taps her pen against her book and I smile.

"Ask Strange today after our session. Ask him where it is he takes me when he sees me in the afternoon" She shakes her head but behind her eyes I can tell the gears are turning.

"Do you wonder why I can never remember anything doctor?" she keeps a straight face but I can see past that.

"You're right it is trauma. Not mental though, physical trauma" I say at the edge of my seat and she shakes her head.

"That's enough Joker" she stands up from her chair and walks to the door. She opens it and Tommy walks inside.

"Our session is over" she says and Tommy grabs onto my arm.

"Over so soon?" I pout as I'm being dragged out of her office and I chuckle.

"Don't be naive Ms. Young. You now better than to trust these crazies. And i'm not talking about the ones with a seven digit number next to their name"
