This is chapter 2 of my story, I do not own any of the BTAS characters but I own the OC's
Natalie stood there shivering as Mr Tetch's grin as he had introduced himself, without the criminal background and the sinister grin he would be quite the charming english gentleman.
She cleared her head from the thought and continued her session but Natalie could not help but look in those sparkling sapphire eyes, they shined a crazy shine but kept a passionate glow deep down, Natalie's heart was beginning to rabidly beat when looking at the mad man, that strange overbite grin, the small hinted aroma if a morning darjeeling and seductive British accent almost gave Natalie a wash of comfort and peace.
However, Natalie did not want to end up like Miss Quinn so she again maintained herself but no matter how hard she tried to focus her eyes kept trailing up and down his body, if she was not mistaken he had a six pack under that uniform * sexy growls*.
" If Hatter makes you feel comfortable then very well" she finally spoke and continued to write notes try to avoid any more unprofessional acts which may cost her job and her only chance of staying in Gotham.
Jervis just sat waiting patiently for her to speak again, he to was observing his new doctor's appearance, her dark brown hair, those admiring chestnut eyes and delicate hands which moved elegantly with her pen, In his mind Tetch did not see any use for her she was not his ideal woman, his idea of a perfect mate was a young, innocent, well spoken blonde girl who would stay and drink tea for all eternity, in his mind it would seem a perfect life for a girl, but to the girls who he kidnaps... they would rather shoot themselves than live a life like that.
" So Mr Hatter, your previous doctor suffered an unfortunate accident which involved you almost stabbing her in the eyes with silver wear" she said trying to maintain a suitable manner, at that point Jervis's face showed signs of disgust at the memory, he nodded clenching his fists tightly remembering the incident like it was yesterday.
" Do you want to tell me what happened?" Natalie asked softly hoping her tone of voice would calm him down, Jervis softened a little and looked up at her fiddling a little with his uniform and began to speak in a calm manner.
" She was being unpleasant at my tea party" he commented
" Your tea party?" she questioned with curiosity expressed on her face.
" Yes, my tea party I was hosting with Mr Hare and Mr Dorm Mouse, I had invited them to join us, but Alice wasn't behaving how I wanted her to so I... I got angry and I almost killed, then the stupid jabberwocky's had to barge in uninvited" he said as he crossed his arms in disgust and leaned on the chair sulking away at the memory.
" But, Mr Hatter your doctor's name wasn't Alice, Her name was Dr Cathleen Sparrow and you didn't invited her, you forced her to take part in your ' Tea party' and the supposed Mr Hare and Mr Dorm Mouse were Mr Crane and Mr Nigma wearing your mind control masks that you secretly got through the asylum walls"
" IT WAS MY TEA PARTY !" He screamed and he clutched onto the chair with anger burning heavily in his eyes like a furnace on full power, Natalie had her back so close to her chair she would almost fall off, fear sparkled in her eyes and her little hands shivered at the sound of his aggressive voice.
Jervis then looked at her expression and softened his mood, The flames in his eyes extinguished and his hands back in his lap, " Forgive me Doctor Tithling, I did not mean to have an outburst like that".
Natalie too softened and nodded taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she wrote her notes and continued to session.
" Ok so you were having your tea party and Doctor... I mean ' Alice' was misbehaving" she questioned, Tetch just nodded quickly and fiddled with his fingers again, Natalie had noticed the constant twitching and shivering and questioned to herself ' Nerves or drug addiction?'.
" And then you attempted to stab her... what happened with Mr Hare and Mr Dorm mouse?"
" They too started being rude and attempted to beat me up" at that point she gasped quietly ' I don't know who to feel sorry for, Him or Crane and Nigma' She thought to herself, another question she put down on her imaginary list.
She put down her pen and note pad and looked at Tetch with a comforting smile " I guess they just didn't understand that you were feeling lonely" Tetch looked up at her and honestly nodded... he was feeling a little lonely, it wasn't fun being locked up in a cell with doctor's constantly trying to make you feel 'better' because people out there did not understand you or understand the way you act with society, Natalie knew far to well how that felt.
" Well I'm sure when you have done your time in Solitary Confinement, People will welcome you again and then you won't feel lonely" She sweetly smiled and felt proud of that little speech, deep inside her brain there was a brass band playing in her honour.
The Hatter nodded but then started to think, Natalie was curious of why he was suddenly silent.
' Perhaps there is something about this girl that reminds me of 'MY' Alice after all' He thought to himself getting a good look at his new doctor again, this time instead of looking at her face and hands, the sneaky blonde decided to look at her body, she had a curved waist that looked almost like a super models, her neck was quite small but it had a rather intriguing shape. Then his eyes swiftly moved to her chest ' Not as good as my Alice's... but they will have to do' he thought to himself... the dirty pervert
Natalie was starting to get concerned so she clicked her fingers to get his attention, but it didn't work. Dr Lealand had warned her that Tetch would usually snap out of reality to go to his Wonderland, little did she know that Tetch wasn't thinking of that at the moment.
" Mr Tetch... Mr Hatter are you alright?"
Hatter then snapped out of observing her body and rose his head back up to her eyes " Mmm, Yes yes quite well Doctor Tithling" he innocently smiled but his eyes sometimes swiftly looked back at her chest whenever she wasn't looking.
Natalie nodded and continued looking at her notes and the pocket watch she had in her breast pocket of her lab coat, It was a beautiful 18th century designed watch made from a gorgeous gold metal and on the cover of the watch was a large sapphire shaped like a heart.
Tetch had spotted this watch and if his eyes could make dollar signs they would by now, " My I seem to notice you have a pocket watch, I have plenty of many designs" he commented trying to change the subject of a another personal question.
Dr Tithling looked up at her patent and smiled nodding " Yes it was... given to me by a friend" her smiled dropped as she remembered her close friend Lily again, She had tried to forget about her death until this evening were she would visit her grave again.
" A friend hmmm?" He looked at the watch with curiosity
" Yes but it's not important, I'm glad you like it though" she then quickly put the pocket watch away in her breast pocket and tried to change the subject, Tetch smirked at this action he knew what she was doing but he played her game... for now.
" So I would I like to talk about your childhood if that's alright" She asked clearing her thoughts.
Tetch knew that this question was coming, He had avoided the questions with other doctors by saying ' No' but something in his stomach wanted him to tell the truth, His childhood had always been a mystery to everyone, even his cell mates wondered this mad man's origin, some had said he was dropped as a child, others say that he was born in Wonderland, some one even had the cheek to say that Jervis was a mistake.
" I don't want to talk about that please..." He said sadly almost crying, Natalie felt sympathy for Jervis and nodded understanding that this was a very sensitive subject.
" I understand Hatter, but if you ever do want to talk about in any session then I will be more than welcome to listen and try to help as much as I can" she sweetly said and gave a motherly shine in her eyes.
In all his time of being in the asylum, none of the doctors gave him sympathy or kindness like Natalie, Jervis sweetly smiled ' I take that back... she might be 'MY' Alice after all' he thought to himself but his thoughts were distracted by the guards knocking on the door meaning the session was over.
Natalie had hoped for another minute to get to know her patent more but rules were rules and she had to bid farewell to her strange blonde hatter, As the guards started fastening his straight jacket again Tetch kindly smiled at his doctor and thanked her for being a interesting session.
' Wow... First session and my patent already likes me' She thought herself and the brass band were playing again in her mind only this time it felt more like a Brazilian Carnival parading the many corners of her mind.
" If I had my top hat Doctor Tithling I would tip it for you" at that point Natalie lightly blushed at the comment and smiled, The guards however were disturbed and took him away as quickly as they could closing the door and bidding Natalie farewell.
Tithling stood there with a hand on her heart feeling it beat so fast that it would almost explode out of her chest and fly into Mr Tetch's hand. She then shook her head and got back into reality trying to clear her mind and stay professional.
Later that evening however when she had returned home from work and her visit to Lily's grave she lay on her bed with both hands on her heart and her unopened birthday presents still lying on her bedside replaying her session with the hatter again and again and again until eventually she shot her head up with widened eyes giving an expression of realisation.
' I'm starting to love my patent... oh fuck'.
