So you see, I have this doctor's note...

Martin stands outside the therapist's door and fiddles with his hat. He didn't know why Bea insisted he go to this. Okay, well he did know why. Probably something to do with that hat incident and losing control. But he was sane! He wasn't extra weird or anything. Why did he have to do this?

And what worried him most was that he didn't know what kind of files this guy would have on him. Technically in the government files he'd been legally dead for a few years, and he guessed Dr. Strange had pulled a few strings regarding his files so there shouldn't be anything on him except for this past almost year with the Thunderbolts...but still. It worried him a lot.

Taking a deep breath Martin peaks in the doorway and taps his hat against the door.

Maybe the doctor's note would work?

"Silencing spells aren't harmful..." Though the newly charmed biting hat might be. "Well I already put security charms on my hat so he shouldn't take it again. I don't know what else to do that won't be too harmful. It's hard to plan if you can't predict someone. And I really don't get Jack. I mean...I understand most of what he says, unlike Kelly, but I don't get...the stuff behind it. Like the superhero stuff. I'm not superhero. It's confusing," he admits.

	"The hat is safe, so let me be clear: I'm not talking about Jack. I'm talking about you. And how you react to Jack. I'm not talking about what you can do to Jack to make it stop. I'm talking about what you can do to make it not hurt you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin tilts his head and gives Samson an odd look, not quite understanding something. "What...can I do to make him taking my hat not hurt me?" That didn't make any sense to him. "But of course if someone takes my hat it'll hurt me. It's my hat." Perhaps he should have made the hat point clear. "What would I do without it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You could try just working on keeping calm when he's around, trusting the precautions you've already taken and accepting that sometimes, people don't get it and you just have to be firm with them from the start." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Martin looks at his feet, a little ashamed. Dr. Strange had told him something similar many times. He needed to stay calm and reign in his emotions, because when he didn't was when those magical sparks and accidents became frequent.

"...Okay I guess. But I thought I was firm." Perhaps he'd been a little too firm at the hat stealing, at least it'd made an impression. People should just get it, he mentally grumbled.

"Yep, though I could always just freeze only him next time," Martin nodded while gently tossing his hat to a spot on the floor in between them. He snaps his fingers when the hat hits the floor and it immediately jumps up, sharp teeth somehow having grown along the inside and it jumps around the floor snapping and growling.

"I have a lot of spells I can use," Martin smiles as he directs the hat to hop back to him, where it jumps onto his knee and stays, back to looking like an innocent hat.

	"Right, but let's focus on just trusting the precautions you're taking, and your ability to handle it if Jack comes up with anything else crazy, and just not let it bother you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If I promise that then you'll tell Bea I can stay on the team? And I won't have to come back again right?" Because 'How to deal with Jack' was the issue for today but if he ever had to come back again the next issue might be more uncomfortable. Then maybe he'd need two doctor's notes to get out of it.

	...Oh there was no good way to tell anyone that you didn't ever want to see them again. And that was before taking into account this was a therapist guy who could tell Bea whatever he wanted and get him kicked off the team. "...Do I need to come back? I'm fine, really. I have a doctor's note if you need..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin squirms in his seat and looks like he wants to either disagree or run but manages to nod. "If you and Bea say I have to..." It didn't mean it had to be a regular thing he tells himself. No reason it should be...right? He gets to his feet and fiddles with his hat a bit. "Okay umm..." What did one say here? "May I go now?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Martin politely puts on his hat then tips it to Samson before he immediately disappears in a whoosh of blue flame. (Reply to this)(Parent)
