Hey I just wanna thank Onitsu Blackfeather for pointing out that in my sleep deprived mind I'd been misspelling Jervis. And Joker is a mix of Mr. J from the animated series and a little bit Joker from the Dark Knight. Hopefully that helps out any confused readers. Enjoy the next installment.

Chapter 18: Locked in Wonderland

I had just choked down the last blob of food off my tray when I felt Edward and Jonathan tense around me. A new tray slammed down next to Jervis making him jump. I looked up into none other then the red eyes of Joker. I chugged my chocolate milk and tried to avoid his gaze.

"Well hello my beautiful Mrs. J." He chuckled and waved his spork around as he spoke. "Now I heard there was a little ruckus in the gallery last night, care to enlighten me on what happened?"

"Those monsters tried to stomp my Alice to death." Jervis was shaking at how close Joker was to him.

"Come again?" Joker grabbed Jervis's chin and spun his face around to meet his gaze. "Speak slowly so I can understand you." I swear I saw the spork break against Jervis' face.

"T-the guard stomped on my poor A-Alice." I saw that Jervis's cheek was bleeding and I felt nails almost pierce my flesh when Jonathan tightened his grip on my hip. I swear I saw a look in Joker's eyes that made me fear for Jervis's life so I did the only thing I could think of. I grabbed my half full carton of chocolate milk and chucked it at Joker's head. It connected and spilled chocolate all down the front of him and unfortunately also splashed back onto Edward a bit making him jump.

"Sorry Edward didn't think you were in the splash zone." I couldn't believe what I'd just done. Joker's eyes went wide and he dropped Jervis's chin. Jervis literally jumped from his chair and hid behind Harvey.

"My pet, care to enlighten daddy why you just threw your chocolate milk at him?" He was seething and I could see his hands tighten into fists and shake.

"You hurt Jervis." Those three words did two immediate things. First Jervis's eyes lit up and his jaw dropped. Secondly Joker jumped over the table and pulled me out of Jonathan and Edward's grip. One moment I was being clutched to them safely the next I'm on the floor with Joker straddling me. One fist was raised above his head and the other was squeezing the life from my neck. I saw no recognition behind his eyes. I was looking into pure hell and I did the only thing I could think of, I squirmed for all I was worth. The hit never came because within a second something tackled Joker off of me and the entire cafeteria went silent. My eyes grew two sizes seeing none other then Jervis on top of Joker hitting him like he'd gone mad.

"Alright ladies break it up!" I was wrenched from the floor and dragged off in cuffs by one guard while another grabbed Jervis. They booked me to the isolation ward before I could blink and I was tossed into a padded room after being freed of my restraints. I blinked and looked around.

"Well at least Joker's not in here." I sighed and curled up in a corner. "And at least I didn't get stomped." I pulled my knees to my chest and closed my eyes. I was probably going to be here awhile so I guess I should catch a quick nap.

"Let me go you heathen!" Jervis's voice rang out and woke me from my nap. I rubbed my eyes and froze as the door to my padded cell opened up and Jervis was just thrown in like a piece of garbage. The guard never even took the restraints off of him and slammed the door closed. I was on my feet in a moment, Jervis was bleeding.

"Jervis!" I was at his side as he looked over at me in surprise. I pulled his restraints off, I broke the handcuffs bare handed, and helped him sit up. He had a cut on his cheek from Joker's spork, his lip was busted open and he was black and blue all over his arms and face.

"Oh Alice!" He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in my chest. "I thought that painted clown was going to kill you." He was actually crying and I stroked his hair softly.

"It's okay Jervis I'm here. You saved me from him." I was met by his watery blue eyes as he sniffled.

"Hatter was your white knight? Your mad hatter saved you." He grinned and pulled my face to his until we were nose to nose. "I saved my Alice."

"Yes you saved me Hatter." I wiped some of the drying blood off his cheek and froze when his lips met mine. I blushed and pulled away and he sat there with a giant goofy grin on his face.

"I saved my Alice." He sat there for a moment as I stood to move back to my corner.

"You should get some rest Hatter." Before I could get to my corner I was tackled and pinned on my back. Hatter had a look in his eyes, a possessive look that I'd seen in both Jonathan and Edwards gazes.

"I won't let them hurt you Alice. We'll break out and go to Wonderland. Just you and me." He nuzzled against my neck and just held me. I stroked his hair until his breathing slowed and I thought he was asleep. I don't know why but I buried my nose in his hair and took a sniff. He smelled male and like green tea. He was warm so I didn't want to move him, the room was getting cold. I snuggled against him and closed my eyes; a quick nap never hurt anyone.

I woke up feeling something warm and wet on my neck. My eyes popped open and I was met by Hatter's bushy hair in my face. His lips were on my neck pressing soft kisses along every inch of skin he found. He stopped after a moment and looked up at me. His eyes were burning and he gently pinned me to the floor.

"I won't let them take you away from me Alice. I won't let them hurt you anymore." His voice was a soft murmur as he stroked my cheek gently with his hand.

"Hatter I'm not Alice, I'm D remember." Jervis frowned and leaned down to place a soft kiss on my chin.

"Oh Alice they've made you forget who you are. Let Hatter remind you." He stroked my neck softly and placed a burning kiss on my lips. Before I could push him away he ripped my jumper top open and began kissing down my neck to my chest. "I'll remind you Alice. Oh Hatter will never leave you, not again." His lips were everywhere and I managed to sit up as he slipped a hand down my pants.

"Hatter." He turned his heated gaze to me and my mouth clamped shut. He wrapped one arm under me and pulled me against his chest never once taking his eyes off mine.

"Don't fight the madness Alice. Join me in the dance." His lips were on mine again and his tongue forced its way into my mouth. He even tasted like tea and I grabbed his hair again. He groaned deep in his throat and ripped his jumper top off so we were skin to skin, chest to chest. Somehow during his wild kissing he'd slipped my pants off with his skilled hands. He pulled away and gave me a giant Cheshire grin before kissing and nipping down to my thighs. He'd actually ripped the flimsy uniform briefs right in half and tossed them across the room like they were nothing.

"Hatter!" He was eating me alive and his fingers dug deeply into the flesh of my thighs. I was splayed out and he was going to town on me with his tongue. He had a quirky little twirl that he would do with his tongue to make my hips jump. How did my innocent Hatter know this much about…well that? His mouth drove me to the tea party and slammed me right into the table. I was breathless when he finally came up for air and pulled me into another kiss.

"My Alice." I don't remember him stripping his pants off but with one motion he'd driven himself home and filled me up. He was burning up and taking me with him. He was almost as vocal as I was as he thrusted me right back towards the party. His dance was wild and maddening both frenzied and soft. My mouth was on his neck and he buried his face in my hair. One of his arms slid under my hips and lifted them up to drive his point home. My eyes rolled back into my head as I flew over the rainbow with fire on my heels and I bit my lip so hard that I tasted blood. Hatter nearly yowled as he emptied himself inside me. I opened my eyes and licked my lips finding that they hadn't been bitten open. Jervis was now sporting a deep bite on his shoulder and I groaned. What was with me and all this biting?

"Hatter?" I licked my lips and felt my heart thrumming inside my chest like a caged bird.

"Oh Alice." Hatter's voice was husky and he lifted his head to meet my gaze. His eyes were glazed over and a giant goofy grin graced his lips. He grabbed my cheek with one hand and shakily pulled me in for a soft kiss. He then collapsed onto my chest panting as if he'd run a marathon.

"Are you alright Hatter?" I stroked his hair and he groaned deeply in his throat again. He pulled himself from me and rolled to the side staring up at the ceiling.

"Oh Alice I feel as if I took out both the Red Queen and the Jabberwocky. And I still have time left for tea!" That giant grin seemed plastered to his face and his hand moved to hold mine. After we'd both spent several moments catching our breaths Hatter rolled over to my side and grabbed my hip with his hand. "Oh Alice?" His voice was sweet and rang out in a sing song type way.

"Yes Hatter?" I wondered what was on his mind.

"I think it's time to celebrate Frabjous day, let me teach you to futterwacken." His eyes sparkled impishly and for the next several hours he made sure to teach me the steps over and over again.

"Oh god Hatter." I couldn't move and he'd managed to dress us both before collapsing in a heap next to me. I was shocked that no one came to investigate all the noise we'd been making. The room was steaming and I swear I saw condensation on the walls. I was drenched in sweat and probably smelled like I'd run a marathon naked. Hatter looked ragged and his jumpsuit was glued to his skin with how badly he'd been sweating. We both needed a shower but I wasn't sure we'd get one.

"What's wrong Alice? Did you forget a step to the futterwacken again?" Hatter dragged himself into a sitting position and eyed my body hungrily again.

"Oh no Hatter, I don't think I could futterwacken for a month." He pulled me over so my head was resting on his lap and stroked my hair.

"Tell Hatter what's troubling you Alice. Hatter will always be here." His voice was back to being the soft quiet murmur it had always been.

"Why do you think I'm Alice? I'm not blonde and I can't recite much of the book from memory." I looked up at him as I felt his hand freeze in my hair.

"Because my dear Alice. Alice is Hatter's soul mate and I know that you are mine. So you are Alice." He stated it as if it were something known by all. He looked down at me and lightly flicked my nose. "So you are Alice and I am Hatter." He sounded so innocent and I pulled him down for a kiss.

"Damn it who locked the two love birds in the same cell?" A guard's loud whining pulled us apart and we both looked up in surprise. Hatter helped pull me to my feet and I blushed red seeing that my discarded briefs were still lying in a corner of the cell.

"The hell are you talking about Jerry?" Another guard popped his head in and went pale. "Oh crap we're so fired. Get them to the showers and freshen them up!"

"Should we put this in our report?" The guard, Jerry, looked hopelessly lost.

"Like hell we are. This never happened; we put them in separate cells then just took them for a shower due to good behavior." The other guard was speaking fast and they both rushed into the cell to cuff us. We were hastily led to the showers where we got to take a luxuriously long shower and were even given shampoo and fresh soap to use. I could hear Hatter singing to himself in the men's shower and I blushed.

"I feel squeaky clean." I slipped into the new jumpsuit after drying off and the two guards were struggling to get Hatter to stop dancing. We were re-cuffed and led back to our cells where I curled up onto the bed and wanted nothing more then to sleep. Hatter was still singing and dancing to himself and I giggled softly. He looked like a child that just came back from Disneyland.

"Hey Hatter shut it. You're acting like you just got laid or something." Harvey's voice rang out from down the hall. Hatter froze and I buried my head against my pillow.

"Oh my god Jervis I'm going to kill you!" Edward's voice rang out a moment later and I peeked up at Hatter with wide eyes.

"Not before I get to him first." Jonathan's voice growled and I paled. Jervis just stood there with a big grin on his face as if it were nothing.

"Get some sleep my little Alice. Tomorrow we get to play outside." Jervis started dancing and humming to himself.

"D what the hell? Do I need to chain you to my bed?" Edward's voice rang out again more concerned then angry.

"If you do I have some vines you could borrow." Ivy's voice purred out.

"Keep your vines to yourself Pamela! Knowing you they'd poison me and drag her off to your bed." Edward growled and Ivy laughed low and sultry.

"Oh poor Eddie, afraid that once she's in my bed she won't return to yours?" I could hear the seduction in her voice and I pulled the covers over my head.

"More like you'd turn her into a plant bitch like you." Jonathan spat out making Ivy hiss.

"Oh I'll do more then just make her like me Jonathan. Oh I promise you that." She laughed low and husky making me blush.

"Oh will all of you shut up! All this talk about sleeping with my wife is making little J get all excited. I think I should put him to some good use." Joker cackled out from his cell.

"Oh god Joker put that away no one wants to see that!" Harvey groaned and I swear I heard him slap his hand to his forehead.

"Too late!" A loud giggle rang from Joker's cell and a collective groan rang through the gallery. I don't even want to think about what I heard that night.
