Chapter 3- Own worst enemy
Spoony braced himself and closed his eyes. It had been five days since his birthday and he had been checking on Doctor Insano every night since then before bed. As he once again entered the prison, he instantly sensed that something was different. He looked though the bars and saw Doctor Insano staring back at him. This was the first time he had been awake during one of Spoony’s nightly checks.
“Spoony! So nice of you to visit,” Doctor Insano said, grinning Cheshire Cat-like up at Spoony from his position chained to the floor, laughing. Spoony ignored him and once again started cheeking the defences. “What? Not even going to say hello?”
“No.” Doctor Insano’s grin widened.
“How very rude. You keep me locked up here, all day everyday, with nothing to do and when you do visit you won't even talk to me?” Spoony didn’t respond, but went to check the prison door instead.
“It would be nice to have a little friendly conversation between us for once,” Insano continued. “Can’t we be civil to each other every now and again?” Spoony didn’t answer.
He checked the door. It was locked. Everything was...impregnable, as it should be.
Perfect.
He could rest easier.
“I’ll take that as no then, shall I?” Doctor Insano said, sighing. “You would think that as the so called 'sane' half of us you would be the one with manners but no.” Spoony turned his attention to the room itself.
“You do realize that to really check the room is secured, you would need to come in?” Spoony didn’t respond in any way he just continued to examine the room. “I’d enjoy the company. Why not unlock the door and join me?”
“Never. I’ll never unlock this door ever again,” Spoony said, without thinking then cursed himself for actually responding. Doctor Insano giggled.
“What’s the matter? Scared I might escape and take control?” Insano asked. “I wonder. Are you scared for yourself or your friends? Scared I might actually succeed in killing someone other than the two of us for once?”
Spoony tried to ignore Insano as he continued to examine the room. The truth was that the thought of Doctor Insano ever taking control again terrified him. The lack of control was something he never wanted to experience again. It was the worst thing in the world, for Spoony, to be unable to control his own body. In those times he was not even be able to stop Doctor Insano as he tried to destroy everyone and everything Spoony cared about.
“You know. Everyone you have ever cared about or been close to will always be in danger. The smart ones leave,” Doctor Insano stated matter of factly as if reading his mind. “Poor Spoony... you will always be alone. There’s no one who cares about you. Why would they? You’re just a broken man. You don’t deserve to be loved. The only people who make an effort with you any more are Linkara because he’s a hero, and the clone of me probably because Linkara programmed him that way.”
Spoony tried to ignore Doctor Insano, but despite his best efforts, every word struck a hard blow. He closed his eyes for a second and took a deep breath to control his emotions before opening them again and finishing his check of the room. He then turned his attention to the chains that held Doctor Insano bound. This meant looking directly at Insano for the first time.
“It’s not even just me they're in danger from,” Doctor Insano continued conversationally. “You’re the more successful killer. I’ve only ever killed us and that was only because I got someone else to do the job for me. The part of you that was a Black Lantern actually managed to rip out that bum's heart -- "
“Shut up, you fucktard!” Spoony suddenly yelled, looking up, from his examination of the chains, at Doctor Insano. He knew he was doing exactly what Insano wanted, but at that moment he didn’t care. He just wanted Insano to stop talking. He couldn’t bear to listen anymore. Doctor Insano laughed uncontrollably.
“The clone disliked him and threw him out. The Black Lantern killed him. Both parts of you led to Spencer’s death. Tell me what it felt like Spoony.” Spoony would never admit to his evil half that as the Black Lantern he had enjoyed murdering Spencer D. Bum. When the two Spoony’s had become one he had been horrified by his past actions. However at the time killing had given the Black Lantern joy. He’d never told anyone about how the conflicting set of memories had left him with a deep self loathing. He was a murder and, at the time, that fact had given him pleaser. Breathing heavily Spoony forced himself to continue his examination of the chains.
“Have you told your, so called, friends yet that you still get confused sometimes about who’s your friend and who your enemy is due to your two sets of memories?” Doctor Insano asked. “Do they know you still sometimes have the Black Lantern’s dreams? What would they think if they knew you sometimes have pleasant dreams about murdering them? Sometimes you even dream about being the Black Lantern again and killing the clone part of yourself. As a Black Lantern you wanted to kill the people you now care about as much as I do.”
It took all of Spoony’s self control not to respond to Doctor Insano and to continue his cheek of the chains.
“Have you ever considered the fact that you might be my split personality and not the other way around?” Doctor Insano said in an almost serious voice, but with a large grin on his face. “After all ever version of you has a bit of me in it or, in the case of the Black Lantern, turned evil itself.” Spoony bit his left hand hard and concentrated on the pain rather than what Doctor Insano was saying.
“That clone of me, on the other hand, has never developed a split personality of you. He may be a pathetic useless idiot compared to me but he is still a complete person on his own.”
Spoony finally finished his examination of the chains imprisoning Doctor Insano and with a sigh of relief started to retreat from the mental prison. Just before leaving Spoony heard Insano call after him,
“I do so enjoy our chats, Spoony. Come back soon.”
Spoony opened his eyes his eyes to his bedroom. He had never been so glad to see it in his life. Doctor Insano had been even more vindictive than normal.
He shivered, and then gave a gasp of pain as he realized his left hand was bleeding quite badly. There was a large bite mark on it and blood was pumping from several of the teeth marks. When Spoony had bitten his hand wile checking on Doctor Insano he must have done it in real life as well.
He held his hand agents his ‘I heard that, Burton” top covering it in blood and groaned. He would need both hands to bandage something. This meant he couldn’t do this alone. How on earth was he going to explain this to Clonesano
Spoony got to his feet and left his room. At the top of the stairs he called down, “Insano, I need your help. Please bring the First Aid Kit.”
AN: Wow. Insano’s really mean isn’t he? If he seems OOC there is a reason for that which will be revelled later in the story. If Doctor Insano doesn’t seem out of character will that’s just because there are so many different versions of him around that almost anything can be in character. No I’m not mentioning Scarlet. It’s too soon and I want to be respectful. Next chapter will be happier I promise.
