09.12.15 -- calling Power Girl

[slightlyoffchilt]

This is Doctor Chilton. Why don't we talk?

call back

[boobwindow]

Doc.

What is it you want to talk about?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Well. It isn't that I keep up with the tabloids often, mind. But I had noted some peculiar whispering about your name. In conjunction with a new assortment of heroes?

[boobwindow]

[ Caught off guard and it's quite present in her voice. ]

You can't believe everything the papers say these days.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Believe, perhaps not. But one is at liberty to hope.

[boobwindow]

Why the interest?

[ Well, she's not denying it; though, she does have to wonder how those tabloids know. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Because, as perhaps you have noticed, we will be scrutinized more than ever from hereon out.

It would be encouraging if someone like you were to meet the magnifying glass, so to speak.

[boobwindow]

Squabbling on the network began a month ago, but you're right; this is starting to get out of hand.

I won't deny I've been giving it a lot of thought. However, it's not something I can set up in a day, or even a week. The more I think about it, the more careful I need to be -- for all of us, hopefully.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Caution is an intelligent element, especially in this case. That is why I would like to offer my services, for vetting purposes.

[boobwindow]

You want to help.

[ Pause. ]

What makes you interested in this?

[ It can't be just the scrutiny they'll be facing from the world no thanks to Crane. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Who else have you left to offer psychiatric legitimacy?

[boobwindow]

Fair point.

I hope you'll understand some of my reservations since the whole Kaidan Alenko thing.

[slightlyoffchilt]

My dear friend and associated Freddie Lounds had been murdered. You surely cannot blame me for emotional culpability.

[boobwindow]

[ That stings. ]

... no.

But I would like to avoid a repeat of that all the same.

What else are you getting out of this?

[slightlyoffchilt]

The better that imPorts as a whole look, the better I look.

[boobwindow]

Quite opportunistic.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is that necessarily a bad thing?

[boobwindow]

I want someone who also cares about their well-being and doesn't just see this as a career boost -- if this happens. There's still a lot of work to do.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I deeply care about my well-being.

[boobwindow]

Frederick.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Are we on a first name basis now?

[boobwindow]

"Doc" doesn't have quite the same ring.

[ In all seriousness: ]

I'm not comfortable with the idea of providing you steppingstones.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Then what are you comfortable with, if anything?

[boobwindow]

With someone who's going to see them, whoever they are, as people first.

[ She's conflicted, however; Chilton is the only imPort psychiatrist with the credentials and the government isn't on his ass. In fact, the government probably likes him.

She shouldn't be so quick to throw this opportunity away. He's the one who came knocking, after all. ]

... look, let me think about this, Doc. [ Back to the friendlier nickname. ] I need some time.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course, Power -- [Wait, no first names] -- Girl. You know my number.
