BROKEN MIND

Hugo Strange: Arkham Interviews Full #2; patient's name is Jervis Tetch, also known as the Mad Hatter. Good evening Jervis.

Mad Hatter: Oh, you told me Alice would be here!

Hugo Strange: But she is here, Jervis.

Mad Hatter: Really! Where? Oh Alice. Do not try to hide, Dear.

Hugo Strange: She's here on the table, Jervis. Look at the photos.

Mad Hatter: Alice-Aaaaaah! That's not HER! Those are prisoners beheaded by the Queen of Hearts!

Hugo Strange: You see things you don't normally see anymore Jervis. You suffer from extreme delusions. You perceive and claim individuals as the White Rabbit, the March Hare, the Queen of Hearts,...And Alice. Even though that's not who they are.

Mad Hatter: Excuse me! But I can very much tell who's the REAL Alice base on her distinctive appearance. She has-

Hugo Strange: -Blonde hair, blue eyes, and wears a blue dress. Common characteristics as the ones you had at your tea parties.

Mad Hatter: The ones?

Hugo Strange: Like Miss Stephanie Williams here in this photo. The blonde hair. The blue eyes. Look at the dress she's wearing Jervis. You know who this is. It's Alice, isn't it?

Mad Hatter: A-Alice?

Hugo Strange: Tell me Jervis, what happened after the two of you were done drinking tea?

Mad Hatter: Oh-Oh no!

Hugo Strange: You killed her. There, there Jervis. It's all right. It's all right to remember. Despite how dark those memories must be. Memories of your multiple encounters with Alice, each and every one a different girl from the last. How many Alices were there, if you recall?

Mad Hatter: Oh! I-I don't remember! (The Mad Hatter begins to sob)

Hugo Strange: As you persist to use your chemicals and devices to brainwash your victims, you deteriorate your recollection of those experiences as well. It makes you forget the things you've committed, doesn't it?

Mad Hatter: I don't...I-I don't think...I don't think! Oh, it's true!

Hugo Strange: It's all right, Jervis. Though your work requires further regulation, I still believe it will be greatly effective to my cause. Now listen well, I want you to do something for me.

Mad Hatter: L-Like What?

Hugo Strange: I will release you from your cell. Then, I want you to go to Dr. Crane to assist with a certain task. After you finally complete the task, you must join The Joker. Do you "think" you can do that?


Look no further folks. Here are the next two chapters! I personally enjoyed writing chapter 11. Poor Hatter. Please review. Don't be scared of hurting my feelings. Getting roasted is better than nothing at all. Now if you do like it, even better. Not that I WANT negative reviews. Otherwise I'd have low self-esteem. More chapters will be coming up soon! Thanks y'all for reading!
