Drury Walker- Temporary Insanity #1
===Gotham City, years ago===
*In a small apartment, Drury Walker sits with his
older brother. They've only just moved to the city and it's been a hard few weeks, not least because their father's career isn't going well at all. Yet, on the sofa, a bowl of ice cream in hand, they sit watching TV*
Spock-*on TV* The ship... out of danger?
Kirk- Yes.
Spock- Do not grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many, outweigh...
Kirk- The needs of the few.
Spock- Or the one. I never took the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?
Kirk- Spock.
Spock- [Gasping] I have been... and always shall be... your friend.
...
Spock- [Gasping] Live long... and prosper.
*Drury wipes away his tears with his sleeve. Norbert notices this and puts an arm around him*
Norbert- You know it's not real.
Drury- Yeah, I know.
*His brother can tell Drury's not convinced*
Norbert- Besides.. he comes back in the next one.
Drury- Really?
Norbert- Ye-
*He's quickly smacked in the face with a cushion*
Norbert- Hey, what the hell?!
Drury- Uh, spoilers?
*Norbert smiles. And throws the cushion back at his brother*

Arkham Asylum. There could be no hospital more infamous. Drury used that term loosely. If Arkham was a hospital, Bane was a green grocer. The image almost made him crack a smile, something he'd been struggling to do for a while...
For one thing, he no longer had his photograph, stolen by Mister Camera during the Blackgate incident, one of the few items he had been allowed to have. Secondly, and more importantly, he missed Miranda herself... She hadn't visited him since he was sentenced, although ultimately he understood why. He knew she was scared, and he was too. For a few minutes he just sat down on his mattress. Until a glass bottle went flying past his head. He supposed, that was the work of his new cellmate, another of Arkham's lost causes he supposed. Drury was, of course very familiar with the Asylum, having spent at least ten years breaking out and being brought back. Yet, in recent times he would never have considered he'd be here again. Not on this side of the bars. But here he was again, back in the madhouse
