I've watched Mad as a Hatter for the third time and wondered what was going through alice's mind after everything. This is what I came up with.
I looked back at him. I can't believe I looked back. He was trapped under that horrible statue, looking at the ground mumbling to himself. Before he could lift his head to see me, I buried my face into Billy's shoulder. I just couldn't look into his eyes because I knew if I did I wouldn't be able to look away.
I didn't cry when they found me. I didn't cry when they interrogated me. I didn't even cry when I got home. The one time I shed a tear through this whole ordeal was when I was with Jervis.
He had taken me away from my home. All I remember was going home and finding my apartment full of flowers. Jervis was acting strange and then Batman showed up. After that I was overcome by the feeling of sleep. Only later would I find out it was mind control.
Everyone, even Jervis, thinks I don't remember anything that happened during the time I was controlled. I did. I remember him telling me to change and giving me privacy to do so. I remember him taking me into his arms and telling me he never wanted it to end up like this. Most of all, I remember crying.
I didn't cry because I was scared, even though I was. It was like being trapped inside I doll, I could see, hear, even smell, everything, but I couldn't move. All I could do to show my emotions was cry. And like I said, it wasn't because I was scared. It was because I was sorry. I couldn't believe I didn't see what Jervis was trying to tell me. I was so stupid. He took me out to dinner, a walk, and he danced with me. That wasn't just him being a good friend. That was a date.
He had feelings for me, and when I told him I was engaged it was like I rejected him. I'm so sorry Jervis. I'm sorry you felt that kidnapping me was the only way I wouldn't leave you. Why didn't you just tell me? You once said that I was the only person that understood you. Why did the one thing you wanted me to understand have to come when I was only thinking about my own problems.
They tell me Jervis loved me because I was blonde with blue eyes and named Alice. Was that true? Was my name what drove him crazy? Would he have done the same if I was Diana? Abigail? Catheryn? Did he really care about me? Did he love me?
I know it was short but I was thinking of making a multi-chapter story with her and Jervis after I finish Arkham's new girl. It would have a lot of Eva though.
