Dr Archeville Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Joan's keen reporter's eye noted that Archeville's eyes went a bit wide, and her keen reporter's sense indicated that it wasn't just a detached clinical reaction to her own issues. Curse her snooping! What are you on about now? Isn't it obvious, you fool? Despite your efforts to rein me in, she knows about me! About us! ... no... no... I am sure that is just her own body image issues talking, and- Yes, yes, poor little octomom's a monster, boo frakkin' hoo. But she's also an investigative journalist and apt to dig up info on us, and find those few times I've been able to slip free! I am sure that is not what it is. Look at her -- she is too wrapped up in her own issues to see anything 'off' with us. "Nothing more for me, frau Collier," he replied while retrieving a small spiral-bound notepad from his labcoat pocket and jotting down something, "but dere is somevon else I vould like you to see. A specialist I feel could help you as much as I can help you." He tore the sheet off the notepad and handed it to her. It had a name and two phone numbers. Joan recognized the name from a report she'd come across on some of Freedom's more unbalanced supervillains: it was Dr. Jeremy Philips, great-grandson of Howard Philips, the man who'd willed the Philips family estate to Dr. Reginald Carter so it could be used as a hospital for the treatment of the insane. "Physically, you check out fine, und dere is no sign of instability, dough I vould not completely rule out any future mutations; I vould like to see you for regular check ups at least vonce every three months. I am far more concerned mit your psychology. I do not know if de records you sent me are missing any annotations, but de lack of notes on post-traumatic psychiatric care und therapy to help accept de radical changes to your body are deeply concerning to me, und if you did have such care before, I still believe you are in need of continued therapy."
