Hatter walked along the top of on off the counters in the bank, taking her time with the robbery. She held her crippled left hand in her pocket out of the way as usual. Idly pointing her gun at random civilians for the fun of hearing them whimper. She could tell that the length of the roberry was bothering some of the girls, the few of them that had done this before were used to get in get out situations. Of course then it had bee a bout the money, Hatter wasn't interested in money. It was easier to point a gun at somebodies head and demand what she wanted. This was definetly not about money, not that she would complain if any of it got thrown in to the deal.
Hatter looked at the girls spread out through the bank gesturing at them with her gun," If you want the money take whatever you can carry, I don't want any and I sure as hell won't carry it."
Hatter watched amused as they all ran for the vault, fairly fighting each other for the chance to be first in the vault. Then she frowned, where oh where was the white rabbit? She should have been here by now. No matter Hatter laughed, she'd rob another bank on another day.
Almost as an after thought she began singing under her breath,"They told me you had been to her, And mentioned me to him: She gave me a good character, But said I could not swim. He sent them word I had not gone, (We know it to be true): If she should push the matter on, What would become of you? I gave her one, they gave him two, You gave us three or more; They all returned from-"
Hatter was cut off in mid verse by the front doors shattering from a gunshot. She dove under the counter she had been standing on and managing to hit her head against the floor in the process. Grabbing her hat and rubbing her forehead where she was sure a lump was forming she peered over the top of the counter.
"I know you're here Hatter!" Erin shouted stepping over the broken glass with her hands in the pockets of her trench coat.
Hatter rolled her eyes and adopted a more weak and innocent tone of voice,"Hatter? Hatter are you sure? Hatter is my father, I'm Alice. You're the White Rabbit!"
"Don't play innocent with me. You weren't fast enough to kill Arkham. He knew who was willing to give everything to stop you. He sent me an email Clowney figured out the password, you girls got Tetch genes through and through you know." Erin chuckled still completely at ease,"you know Multiple personalities haven't ever really been accepted as real anywhere except the US. If you know how to pull it off you might just get arkham instead of Blackwall. Even then, look at what you got racked up, kidnapping, robbery, arson, murder, unlawful imprisonement, battery, armed assualt, armed assualt of an officer, armed battery, assualt, bombing probably, unlawful use of mind altering drugs and products. Lets not forget arson, bribery, prison break, attempted murder. Did I mention kidnapping? I lost track."
Hatter couldn't help but burst out laughing," Do you think I don't know that? Besides you gonna stop me?"
"No, I have a feeling they want to." Erin said pointing out the door behind her.
"Where the hell are Dodge and March!" Laine shouted walking up behind Erin looking absolutely enraged..
"Ooooh good god. Alice's mummy." Hatter sighed, well two birds with one stone, "You are going to be very annoying, You'll have to be sedated."
"Hey, Pleasance! Catch!" another woman called throwing Laine what appeared to be a mottled green rubber ball.
Hatter looked over to who had thrown it," Hello Pamela, do intend to fight me with a beach ball?"
Poison ivy gave her a withering glare,"Pleasance, I really hope you don't mind but in about five seconds I'm going to strangle your daughters alter ego."
"Lets try the beach ball first." Laine said hurling the ball at Hatter.
Out of instinct Hatter ducked out of the way. The ball burst against the wall behind her sprouting a very large venus flytrap. It snapped at just about anything that moved. Hatter looked at it interested before shooting it.
"I like dodge ball. Wanna play?" She asked giggling, then she frowned,"That felt so undignified."
Poison ivy smiled tossing Laine and Erin a ball from a bag,"We call offense."
Hatter smiled," I think not, Offense is my forte. LADIES! We're leavin'"
The three women didn't hesitate to start throwing Ivy's plant spheres at Hatter. Forcing her to run ducking behind the counters.
"Hey Hatt-"
Hatter cut the girl who had just returned from the vault, off pointing to Laine, Erin, and Ivy," Shoot them! Maim, don't kill. If any of them die all of you will wish I was that kind. Actually, you can kill treehugger but I want the other two alive!"
She could almost hear the annoyance of the teenagers. For a moment she considered shooting one of them as a bit of motivation. Most of them had gotten used to having to clear away each others bodies. The fact that she would kill them without a second thought was threatening enough she figured. Hatter relaxed a bit and stood up as soon as she heard the gunshots. Examining the damage quickly Hatter didn't step out from behind the counter.
"Get outside and kill every one, this one will have brought her mobster friends and the other escapees." She told the girls nodding towards Erin, who had collapsed after a good shot to the leg.
As if on cue Hatter felt an arm slip over her shoulder holding a knife against her neck. This was turning out to be a lot harder than she'd thought it would be. Taking one glance at the girls who were confused as to whether to shoot whoever was holding the knife or shoot the people on the street.
"Ladies get going!" Hatter yelled twitching slightly at the feel of the knife against her neck,"Hello Zsasz, surprised you stuck with the White rabbit so long. Kill me already."
Was completely calm, which unnerved not only Zsasz but the civilians within earshot. Zsasz pressed the knife against Hatters throat and she felt it cut through the skin, hissing quietly. It didn't go any deeper, thought the fact that Zsasz hand was shaking was making it more than painful enough as far as Hatter was concerned. Twisting Zsasz hand out of the way while hewas caught up in what ever he was thinking.
"You can't kill me. Not now anyway. White rabbits, aaaah, lack of intelligence in the field of psychology has caused one rather serious flaw. Mr. Zsasz, she broke you out because you would kill without a second thought, she fails to take into account that you are a serial killer. You can't kill unless everything fits your modus opperandi. Definetly not a bank robbery in the middle of the city, in broad daylight." Hatter babbled continuing to twist Zsasz's wrist ignoring the gunshots and screams from outside as well as the serial murderers increasingly frenzied attempts to pull his hand away. Hatter heard a faint popping noise and finally dropped Zsasz's either broken or dislocated wrist, it didn't interest her enough to find out,"I'm assuming the queen of hearts didn't know, she wouldn't have alowed it."
Hatter walked over to Laine and Erin. She bent down and grabbed Laine by the back of her collar, dragging her out to the van despite Laines feeble attempts to punch and kick Hatter. In the back of her mind Hatter hoped Crane would be better at fixing these two up than with implanting mind control chips. It really would be a shame if they died. Hatter suddenly thought of her other hand she realized that she hadn't taken it out of her pocket. In fact she had quite forgotten about it. A very amusing thought crept into her mind, One hand tied behind my back, pathetic you lot, very dissapointing. Maybe I'll get my other hand messed up and see how you fare. ~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Okay I realize this is as hatter puts it "Pathetic" and "Very dissapointing" for a months wait. I have no excuses, except that I rewrote this like five times because I thoroughly despised my writing. I have an answer for Pleasance...no, NEVER!...EVER!
