Alice found herself in an unfamiliar place that was full of darkness. The only thing that lit up the room was a trail of bright blood. Alice decides to follow the path as it leads her to a recently buried grave and tombstone. Alice looks at the headstone, and it shocks her to see her name on it.

Tombstone "Alice Liddle, a beautiful mind that went mad,"

Then suddenly, large skeleton arms come out of the grave and grab Alice. The arms try to pull Alice into the grave.

"No! Let me go!" Alice shouted, trying to get away from skeleton arms, but they got a tight grip on her.

Alice gets pulled into the ground and starts to feel suffocated, and starts fading away. Then a large ringing wakes Alice up on a couch, and she looks to see an old cartoon playing on the Tv.

"Bad dreams, Alice?" Alice turns to see the Cheshire Cat on the couch

"Yes, I did," said Alice getting up from the couch.

"You know Alice; you could have taken your medication before you left the asylum,"

"I'm perfectly fine without them,"

"Sure," The Chesire cat said in an unsure tone.

"Whatever,"

"So what are you going to do know Alice since Doctor Bumby is on vacation and is coming back in two weeks,"

"I guess I look around and see what the doctor been up to and maybe mess with his plans,"

"Good idea but you should get yourself some new clothes. I could smell the stench of gun powder and blood from here,"

"Your right about that,"

Alice quickly uses Harley's shower to clean herself. Then she goes to Harley's closet and finds some clothes that fit her. Harley wore a black leather jacket, a queen of hearts shirt, ripped blue jeans, black sunglasses, and black boots.

"Good, now get some clean clothes. I think I'll grab breakfast; I haven't eaten for a while," Alice thought as she heads out of Harley's hideout.

At a local diner at the heart of Gotham, BarbaraGordon is enjoying her morning as she ate some hashbrown and bacon while listening to the morning news. Then broadcasters talk about the crimes, and it made Barbara look at the TV.

"So far, gang war has escalated with police coming across one of the penguin hideouts that has a number of the penguin gang members dead in the hideout. We got no words if it has Two-face doing, but the police highly expect that his work." said the broadcasters.

"Sicking, onto lighter news Christmas is around the corner hopeful parents have gotten the gifts that their children wanted,"

Barbara turns back to her food "if only they knew,"

Barbara heard from Bruce and Timm what Alice Liddel did at the penguin. She almost couldn't have believed one person could be capable of going into the hideout and walking out alive. Still, there is an air of mystery why Alice is Gotham and what she is looking for in the city.

Then someone came into the diner. Barbara turns, and it shocks her to see Alice coming into the diner in some new clothes. Alice sat one seat away from Barbara. Then the diner waitress walks to Alice.

"How can I help you, dear?" said the waitress

Alice looks at the diner breakfast menu and looks back at the waitress. "I think I'll have the french toast, scrambled eggs, and orange juice,"

"Good choice. I'll bring those up in a few minutes,"

"Thank you,"

"I think it's best I use this opportunity to get some info out, Alice," Barbara thought. When the waitress goes into the kitchen to get Alice's food, cook Baraba asks Alice, "new to town?"

Alice "Oh yes, I am,"

"So, where did you come from? I'm guessing England,"

"No, I haven't been to England for quite a while. I came from Boston,"

"What brings you to Gotham? Visiting family?"

"Sadly no, I came here to see what this town is all about,"

"Odd way to spend the holidays,"

"Then I'm an odd girl then," Alice smirks.

Then Barbara phone rang, and she looks to see Dick Grayson texted saying, "emergency meet at the cave,"

"Crap, not now," Barbara thought, then Barbara quickly come up with an idea "hey, I didn't get your name,"

"My name is Alice; what's yours?"

"Barba, if need someone talk to, I'm always at the diner in the morning,"

"I'll make a note of that,"

"I gotta go see ya," Barbara heads out.

Alice breakfast arrive as she eats she thought "what nice girl,"
