Madness is Wonderful
Chapter Nine
The blonde woke up in his arms, 'It really happened...' She thought to herself as she looked at him carefully. His gloves were across the room, his hat was still on him, and two piles of clothes were on the bed. Hers, and Jervis.
"Alice, are you awake?"
"Yes Hattah" she said as her British accent was invading in.
"I'm sorry for last night, I understand if you are regreti-"
"No! Please don't leave! Please don't make me leave!" She pleaded, putting her head in his chest. Her eyes were sealed shut, but tears were still flowing. He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead.
"Sh sh sh it's alright. I will never leave you." He whispered, as she looked up into his eyes. Her body curled into his arms and his chin was on her head. "I'm running a little low on money, would you care to come with me on a heist?"
"I'd love to." She smiled kindly.
"We are leaving in an hour."
"Okay." She said and got up from the bed and grabbed her clothes, Jervis looked away from Alice, noticing she was still naked. She put on her undergarments and her dress, then glanced over at Jervis, who was still under the covers. "Are you alright?"
"Oh um yes I'm fine..." He muttered getting up from the bed and getting his clothes. He put on his underware and she giggled quietly. "What?"
"Tight briefs and a big bulge." She mumbled loud enough for him to hear her as she walked out the bedroom door. He was blushing when he heard that then scurried to find his other clothes. He was a muscular guy, not tight abs but had some muscles.
"Alice what are you doing in there?" He asked walking out of the room, only three buttons on his shirt buttoned up. He stopped when he was in the living room, he noticed that she wasn't wearing that small white blouse under her corset. So since she wasn't wearing it she was revealing a lot of cleavage, he blushed when he saw it.
"My blouse was in the wash, so I'm just going to wear this." She explained.
"Oh ok, um let me get you a weapon." He said, then walked out of the room. He came back in with a gold colored axe. "Are you ok with using an axe?"
"Yeah it's fine." She said smiling, then took the axe, "Light as a feather." She stated tossing it up and down.
"Let me get my coat, then we'll leave." He said and went to the bedroom to get his coat. All he could think about was her. His Alice, she gave herself to him last night. Why? Why did she even like him? Why doesn't she kill him and leave? Those questions raced throughout Jervis' head.
'I love you too Jervis.'
That was why, nobody has loved him like that so he's never felt what it would be like. He put on his coat and grabbed his pistol.
"Jervis? You almost ready?" She asked from the other room.
"Yes, I just misplaced my coat and gun." He explained and went out of the room. He smiled seeing the exited blonde in front of him then kissed her lips softly.
"You ready to go?"
"You're very exited, aren't you?
"It's my first heist with you." She said then hugged him, "Of course I'm exited."
"Did you know that a heist is actually a date between villains?"
"Really?" She asked, her little blue eyes widening with curiosity.
"Yes, so we can't be late!" He exclaimed, picking her up bride style. She smiled and kissed his cheek as he carried her to the car. "Ugh where are the tweedles when I need them..."
"Who are the tweedles?"
"Two henchmen of mine representing Tweedledee and Tweedledum. They were taken to Gotham Police Department a month ago." He frowned, then sat her in the passengers seat.
""Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Agreed to have a battle;
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee
Had spoiled his nice new rattle.
Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both the heroes so,
They quite forgot their quarrel."" She quoted to him, smirking, "Did they fight a lot?" She asked him, smiling.
"They did." Was all he said when he drove to the bank.
"Is this the bank?"
"Yes."
"It looks quite horrid."
"Contrariwise: the pleasant thing that most pleasant thing is money that is here, so the gothamites do not focus on the dicusting area." He explained, she nodded at his explanation. "Ok, are you ready?" He asked.
"Yes."
He came out of the car and she grabbed her axe, he opened the door for her and she went out. They walked in the bank and the people stared at the strange attire they were wearing. He shot his gun in the air and she put he axe on her shoulder. "Alright, hand in the money or its off with your head!" he yelled and she casually walked up to a fear struck teller.
"Can I have the code for vault A, B, and C?" She ask her, her eyes widened and she nodded then wrote down the numerical orders with a letter beside it. 'B: 3-1-4-7-6, A: 6-0-1-7-4, C: 8-2-5-0-7.' Was on the paper, she heard another gunshot and turned to see a person lying on the ground dead, fire was in Jervis' eyes then he looked up to her and they softened.
"Oh um did you get the codes?" He asked.
"Yes, just let me puck out some helpers..." She said evily and looked through the people. "You, you, you, and you." Said said as she pointed to two strong men that look alike, a teen girl, and a little boy. "You'll help us in our heists and other things."
"Yes miss Alice." She all said, Jervis already imagined the outfits he had in mind for them. The girl a Cheshire Cat, cat ears and a striped outfit. The boy the white rabbit, he'll have ears, a tail, a watch that can be used as a weapon, and a suit. The men as the tweedle-
"Jervis, you're staring in space again." A British voice called out, he looked at Alice and smiled.
"Sorry dear." He said then followed the helpers and her to the vaults. The little boy unlocked the vaults and the others got the money. She and he went out to the lobby area then saw something: a bat.
"What the-" she was about to curse, but Hatter stopped her.
"The jabberwocky!" He exclaimed.
Alice furrowed her brow and batman's eyes widened, "Miss Arch?"
"My name is Alice so enough with the formalities!" She yelled and swung her axe and it cut him arm a little, but he moved out of the way enough for her to not cut off his arm. Hatter started shooting at him, he dodged each one.
"You can't die can you?" He yelled at the bat.
""Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy.
Twas brillig and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."" Alice quoted then swung her axe again, sadly she missed. She felt a baterang connect with her wrist and she cried out in pain. Jervis saw her and he growled at the Jabberwock. He ran over to Alice and aided the girl.
"You imbecile!" He yelled at him still aiding Alice's wrist. "I've waited my whole lonely life for her!" Batman's eyes widened to see the younger girl in Hatter's arms cry and show emotion. If she was being controlled she would be emotionless.
"She chooses to be with you?" Batman asked, his eyes widening.
Jervis' eyes narrowed, "She does..." He growled, "Alice? Alice?" He called out to her, but there was no answer.
Alice pulled on his collar of his shirt the whispered in his ear: "Lights out Hattah, I've loved you and the time we've had, but now I must go..." after that her hand fell from his collar.
"Alicia?"
Batman's eyes widened, 'She...she is dead, I killed her...' Batman thought.
"Alicia! Answer me!" He yelled shaking her, he put his finger to her neck trying to feel a pulse. There was none. He put his head to her chest, trying to hear her heart. No pulse.
Then like that, Jervis' world ended.
