“Now I just want you to talk without thinking about it…”

Red glared at the white-coated therapist. His hands were jammed in his pockets, and he knew very well that they were trying to rehabilitate him for being straight, of all things! It was not a pleasant thought.

Well, perhaps it was because they had discovered he was involved with Lance. For some reason, there had been a cry of outrage, and they had tried to file for child abuse and all sorts of things.

So what if he preferred girls? That was normal, wasn’t it? How else was the human race supposed to reproduce? He was underage, but Lance had most certainly not raped him! It had been perfectly consensual and besides, he was the one on top!

Just because he wasn’t eighteen yet… he was mature enough to have sex, and his private life was not interfering with his job.

Grr…

He debated saying these things out loud, but instead started naming various fruits and vegetables and ignoring the scandalized expression on the man’s face as he wrote like a madman.

The window shattered a few minutes later, as the man fell to the ground, a tranquilizer dart sticking out of his neck. Lance smirked.

“Shall we?” She asked, holding out a hand.

Red grinned brightly as his wife swept him up, and into her arms, and they flew away together.

Stupid…

Ahh, who knew this theme set would be so useful to my psychology class? ^^

Free association is a technique developed by Sigmund Freud, where a person says everything that crosses their mind, without considering it. Wikipedia is love.

Like anything, therapy can be useless or make the situation worse… and there are lots of bad counselors out there!

Heterosexuality is NORMAL.
