Mind Control

The moment I saw Elliot on Arkham left an uneasy feeling inside me. But maybe I'm just being paranoid, just because some can be corrupted doesn't necessarily mean that everyone can also become corrupted. But why do I feel the need to help someone who would never change-no not never but still, I guess it's the right thing to do, for now.

Later that night I make it back to the mansion and pick up the notes that were settled on the passenger seat. I open the door and notice that all the lights were off except the kitchen light. I guess Alfred went off to sleep, I don't blame him.

I look down to the notes in my arms and try to decide what to do with them. A part of me wants to burn up the notes but another part just wants to wait and see what Jonathan does with these notes. Although, I kind of already have an idea on what he would with these notes. Either way, I decided that I keep them in my study room.

I turned on the light in my study room and looked around all the books I had on the shelves upon shelves, I placed the notes in between the books that way he wouldn't find them that easy. The next thing I needed to do was to confiscate all the canisters of toxin I had placed in my nightstand.

I headed back into my room and quickly took a glance at the resting man, I then went into my nightstand and took out all the canisters Jonathan was carrying with him. I grabbed every single one of them and then my hand landed on a brown burlap sack mask, it was poorly stitched and it had this weird aura coming out of it. I slowly placed all the canisters down on the floor and I kneeled on one knee to get a better look of the mask.

I examined the mask and held it with both my hands, I didn't know that such a mask could be able to hold such a horrid feature to it, not even my own is this scary. I looked inside it and could see that it had a gas mask built inside it. But why a scarecrow? Is he familiar with it or did he only choose it because it made sense? I didn't choose my mask, it choose me. Maybe it's the same with him. There isn't much that I know about him except all that is in the data base. I get up and take one final look at the mask and place it back inside the nightstand, it posed no harm.

I gathered up all the canisters in my arms and begin to walk out of the room. I placed all the canisters inside a small box, and then I headed inside the batcave. This seeming the only place to store such dangerous toxins than being stored in the mansion is better. I quickly lock them away and head back up stairs.

Looking around, I head into the living room and lay down on the couch, not the best of places to settle down at but it will do. I cross my arms in order to warm my body up and slowly begin to close my eyes.


Jervis pushed away all the books that were on the coffee table and piled them up to one side. He grabbed his headset and placed it on his ear. "It really makes me very mad when I have to kill someone before I can take all their information."

Alice saw that Jervis was blaming himself for something and said whatever came to mind. "It's not your fault." It came out in monotone voice, but it still was able to catch Jervis's attention.

He turned around and rubbed his hands together. "Oh, I know, now go away dear." He did a small wave with his hand to gesture for her to leave his presence. Alice left with that same blank look on her face.

Jervis took a seat on a chair and turned on his headset. "Rabbit 001, can you be a good mind-controlled henchmen and go retrieve that idiot Rabbit 005 from Arkham, I believe he might have lost his… head. Oh, and also do look around for those notes while you're at it. We wouldn't want them to fall on the wrong hands now do we?"

"Yes, sir."

Jervis smiled and took off his headset from his ear, tossing it on the table next to his chair. He crossed his leg over the other and clasped both his fingers together. "It seems that the sun is about to rise up, no need to waste anymore time here then." He stood up and grabbed his normal plain suit jacket from the coat rack and a normal plain fedora hat and placed it over his head. "Ugh, how atrocious." fixing his tie, he left his apartment and began heading off.

He stuffed his hands inside his pants pockets and walked down a side walk until he made it to his destination. He looked up and covered his eyes from the binding sun with his hand. "Ah, so this is Wayne Enterprise. Not a bad place to start."


A bright light disturbed my slumber and I quickly opened up my eyes. I noticed that I had a blanket placed on me, Alfred's doing no less. I stood up and could feel my back ache from the horrible way the couch left me.

Alfred came into the living room. "Master Wayne, I prepared your breakfast this morning."

I rubbed my face with my palm and gave a small sigh. "Thanks Alfred, I'll be right there."

I left the living room and headed for my room, I realized that I needed to get dressed for work, and I haven't even showered yet. Once I entered my room, I saw that Jonathan has not moved from his position. I walked over to my closet and began pulling out all the clothes that I needed. Then I walked over to the bathroom that was attached to my room and began to shower.

Coming out fully dressed I took one last glance at Jonathan and began heading to where the intoxicating smell came from. "Wow Alfred this looks delicious!" I took a seat and began to eat every single thing on my plate.

"Master Wayne, are you going to be heading off to Wayne Enterprise?"

I wiped my mouth with a napkin before I spoke. "Yeah, I don't really want people to think that I'm neglecting my duties and in any case, I need to go check up on the progress of the workers."

"Very good." Alfred then began to clear up the table and place all the dishes in the sink.

I reached out for my suit and placed it on me. "Alfred, if something-"

"I'll call you right away if there is any progress."

I smiled. "Thanks."


Once I made it to Wayne Enterprise I noticed that a man was outside the building looking up at it. He looked pretty strange to say the least, for one, not many people wear hats or stare up at a building like it's some ancient relic.

I walked up to the man. "Excuse me, do you need any help?"

The man wasn't startled by my voice and he didn't even look at me. "Oh, not really, I was just looking to see if a man by the name of Bruce Wayne would show up."

His unusual accent caught my attention but not as much as his response. "Well, that would be me."

Now he turned his head and looked over his shoulder. "Indeed, I can see that you are from a very… upper class of society. So, do I need to make some sort of an appointment?"

I shook my head. "That would be necessary but I'll let it slide. Follow me."

I began walking into the building and could tell that the strange man was walking right behind me. Something about this man is really off; it's almost as if he's trying to hold back some sort of chuckle. We quickly make it to my office and he takes a seat in front of my desk while I sit in my usual chair.

"What's your name?"

"Of course, excuse me for being so rude, my name is Jervis Tetch."

Wonderful, we have a name to place this guy under. "You can take off your hat you know." I said while pointing to his head.

He looked like he took that offensively as he placed a hand on top of his hat. "No, thank you, I'm rather fond of my hat. But changing the subject, I came to ask you for an itsy bitsy favor."

"Go ahead."

"You see Mr. Wayne-can I call you Bruce?"

"Mr. Wayne is fine."

Jervis gave a small chuckle. "Excuse me, Mr. Wayne; I was wondering if you ever heard of a device that could control the mind?"

Control the mind? "I've heard about it but I never gave it much thought." What does this man want?

He looked amused by my answer. "That's very interesting, and I suppose you wouldn't be interested in such sort of thing, correct?"

"My company and any other wouldn't be interested in a thing like that. Is this all you came to tell me Mr. Tetch?"

Jervis nodded and stood up. "Yes, forgive me to waste your highly important time. I'll see my way out." He then began to leave the office.

What the hell was that all about?


Jervis walked out of the office with a smile on his face. Who would have thought that getting into Wayne Enterprise would be this easy! He quickly looked around his surroundings and saw the perfect rabbit.

"Excuse me; do you happen to know where the restroom is?"

The receptionist didn't even look up from her magazine she was looking at. "Second door on the left."

When she looked up the receptionist didn't see anyone. Until she heard someone whisper a thank you behind her ear. She quickly felt like she lost consciousness and couldn't tell where the voice was coming from.

Jervis carefully came into her view and began to study her. "Well, you look nothing like Alice but I guess you would do. So, I expect you to be at my apartment by seven-ish, no later. Have a nice day."

The receptionist had a blank look on her face and nodded to him.

Jervis walked out the building and placed the rest of his mind-control devices into his pocket. "Thank goodness for these small devices made by yours truly, it is so much better than does noticeable headbands."
