"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

[ It does. For whatever her suspicions are toward Freddie, hearing she's saved someone is something she can't dismiss. ]

What happened?

One of our more infamous serial killers got his hands on me. She ensured that I didn't die on his dissection table.

[ Yikes. ]

I guess tabloid reporters aren't all morally questionable.

I'm sorry to hear that happened, Doc. You doing okay after that?

I certainly survived. It was a quick, if harsh recovery -- but one necessary, given my position back in Baltimore. [A beat.] They tell me it was rather miraculous.

And what position is that?

Chief of Staff at the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. [A beat.] It has since become apparent that other worlds relevant to my world's time period do not, in fact, utilize the common good of a federal mental institution.

But at the same time, I have heard of some that do.

[ Ah. ]

Some of the ones in mine aren't exactly reputable.

Arkham comes to mind, but Gotham's a whole different story.

I am familiar with a few of your -- well, you'd call them Gothamites, wouldn't you?

[He manages to hide the envy from his voice. While yes, you have staunch individuals like Kate and Renee, you also have the fascinating psychological case studies like Harvey Dent.]

I suppose there's a parallel when it comes to, well, the eccentric methodologies. But Baltimore is renown for its murderers, and my attention was never before dedicated to anything below that threshold.

It was one of the patients in your institution who attacked you?

[ She's not entirely surprised that something like that would happen in the first place, but she remembers he's been offering his services around the network. ]

You've been seeing patients here, haven't you?

Yes. And yes -- but not the same kind of clientele as I was used to.

I hope you're exercising some caution regardless.

For my safety, or theirs?

Yours, but do I have to worry about your patients now?

Well if someone hurts me, that damage trickles down to my patients.

And I don't want that happening to people who are seeking help.

So look, if you find yourself in trouble, give a shout.

[ 1) Recommends a superhero to Freddie for her own protection 2) Actually attains said superhero for self 3) Aw yeah.]

I would appreciate that deeply. [A beat.] Do I literally call for you? Just shout your name?

You can do that, sure.

I'll be sure to, Power Girl. Thank you.

Just doing my job, Doc.

Which is more than what most heroes could claim, you know.

I've been doing this a long time. Can't say I'm perfect, but I do everything I can.

Nevertheless. I admire your personal touch of commitment.

Flatterer.

[He clears his throat!]

I -- ah, I am sincere. You're quite admirable.

I guess if a shrink is telling me this, I should take it as a compliment.

I'm gonna let you go. Remember: you find yourself in serious trouble, give me a shout.
