What's next?

Therapy for Ai

Ai didn't really want to be there, she was honest about that much...

They were in the library, Harley was sitting on a comfy chair and she was on the couch with a table between them with cookies and some hot cocoa.

Harley herself was in a different outfit, she looked... Professional from the woman she saw earlier.

"While I'm like this, you can call me Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Ms Hoshino." Harleen smiled. "Our session will last about two hours..Why don't we get started with those issues you have."

"I'm fine." Ai responded instantly.

"Lie, see you lie like it's the truth but that's not healthy." Harleen frowned. "You should learn to be honest to yourself and not to please others all the time."

"Isn't that why your master bought me?" Ai countered. "For his pleasure?"

"Not exactly, what's the last thing you remember?" Harleen asked crossing your leg.

"..." Ai was brought back to the moment she... Passed.

"See, he brought you back and wants to help you." Harleen explained.

"I'm fine." Ai repeated.

"Hmmm okay... Well how about we start with your childhood?"

"It was alright." Ai lied once again.

"... Are you sure that's correct?" Harleen took a folder from the table next to her. "It's another lie, abusive mother..." Harleen scowled.

Ai froze, how did she know?

"... You read the pamphlet right? People know about your past, so lying won't do anything."

Ai took a deep breath. "I don't want to talk about it."

"I understand." Harley shrugged. "Let's move on then, you became an idol and became a doll."

"A doll?" Ai was confused by that.

"Your whole act was so... Fake, no real smile, you just faked it all, everyone online could tell." Harleen looked at the folder. "Didn't you enjoy putting smiles on people's faces?"

Ai did enjoy it, she loved making others happy. "I do." She answered.

"Then why not smile about that?" Harleen asked. "Why not be happy about giving joy to others through your music?"

Ai stayed silent.

"... I'll be honest... It's obvious that you don't know how to do it." Harleen leaned forward. "And it's not weird... Just sad... Your mom was a real bitch."

Ai's chest flared with something at the mention of her mother, she looked down at her lap. Although she didn't disagree...

"Okay, next... Your ex boyfriend/murderer." Harleen frowned. "I can relate, I had a very shitty boyfriend... But your ex took advantage of your mental state."

Ai stayed quiet. A feeling swirling in her chest.

"You didn't know what love felt like... He took advantage of you and **** you." Harleen continued.

How could she know that?

"It wasn't like that." Ai spoke up.

"... What was it like?" Harleen asked. "Did you understand what he was doing when you were dating him?"

"He was just... Rough.." Ai shook her head.

"... Ms Hoshino, he left you when you got pregnant..." Harleen pointed out. "Did you know that he was abusing you?"

"He... He wasn't..." Ai grabbed her head. No it wasn't true... Was it?

"He took advantage of you, he didn't care, in the end, he stabbed you and left your kids alone!"

Ai slammed her fist in the table, shaking the contents on the table.

"... Do you know what that is?" Harleen asked, not flinching at the outburst. "That's anger... Embrace your anger, tell me what angers you."

Anger? This was it? She faked most of her life, she didn't know what was real and what was fake...

"I'm... Angry about my ex..." Ai gritted her teeth. "I'm angry about leaving my kids alone... I'm angry about my mother." She teared up. "I'm angry that I won't see Ruby and Aqua grow up!"

She got up. "I'm ANGRY THAT I'M HERE!" She shouted. She wanted to be home, with her kids!

Harleen simply took her mug and sipped it's contents. "Good, be angry, don't fake your rage, let it flow, it's good to be angry." Harley encouraged.

Ai blinked as her rage subsided.

"Oh our time is up." Harleen checked the clock.

Ai blinked and looked at the clock in the wall, it's been two hours already?

"Time flies when your having breakthroughs." Harleen smiled at her. "We'll meet again tomorrow same time."

Ai felt tired...

"Could we skip?"

"No." The doctor denied.


Ethan entered the mansion, he was coming back from the SHH, it was going well, he still had to make sure that things wouldn't fall apart and there were no issues.

He spotted Harley in her Dr Quinzel outfit. "How was it?" He asked.

"She's opening up, I had to open some wounds, even make speculation but it seems like I hit the nail in every single one." Harley explained.

Ethan nodded. "And how's she doing now?"

"Currently asleep according to Cortana, she's... Well Kushina offered to give her a tour of the place tomorrow so she has that to look forward to." Harley rubbed his chest. "How was work?"

"Boring this time, but it can't be all fun." Ethan caressed her cheek.

"Alright, well Wanda's waiting in your room." Harley walked to the kitchen.

Ethan chuckled and made his way to the elevator to get to his room.

He passed by the lab and noticed Bonnie was working on something with Rebecca... Well hopefully they won't blow anything up.

He entered his bedroom and smiled when he saw Wanda on his bed watching TV on his big TV.

"Bored in your room?" Ethan asked as he closed the door.

"No, I just missed you." Wanda smiled as she looked at him.

"Hmmm." Ethan got on the bed and laid next to her, they shared a kiss and watched TV together, Wanda used her magic to take Ethan's shoes off.

Ethan was thinking of something, he looked at Wanda's hand and then back at the TV.

He chuckled as what Wanda was watching was the Fresh Prince of Bel air.

"What? Will Smith is a good actor?" She pouted when he chuckled.

"Amen to that."

What's next?
