Alyssa had entered a craft store for some fabric after her little heroic moment and was immediately greeted by a twitchy looking man. He rubbed his hands together and was slightly hunched over.

"May I help you somehow Ali- I mean prized customer?"

Alyssa nodded, slightly curious of his behaviour, and the man drew closer," Do you have stretchy, yet comfortable fabric?" she breathed, her eyes darting to him.

The man nodded," Yes, in the back." he grinned superficially, he had a feeling she would follow. Besides, a happy costumer was a paying customer. He scratched his ear length brown hair," Follow me."

Alyssa turned away from the rack, her shoes squeaking on the tile floor. He led her towards a locked door.

Alyssa's POV

I took in the quietness of the store, breathing in the slight musty smell through my nose and out my mouth. The man seemed nervous, his beady eyes darted around like a rat's. Wiry fingers pinched at the fabric of his shorts and rubbed obsessively. It made me feel nervous, like we were doing something forbidden and something would jump out and kill us. The image of Killer Croc crossed my mind, and I shuddered as if a cold gale wrapped itself around me.

I was brought from my reverie from the sound of metal on metal. The man had inserted the key into the door, the sound being from the tumblers unlocking. He opened the door slowly, the light only reaching in a couple feet before becoming eaten by the dark. He walked in slowly, and I followed after him. His hand disappeared into the dark for a second, before there was a click and light blinded my vision. My hands instinctively flew to my face to block the sudden burst and my eyes filled with spots. After a couple seconds, I could remove my hands. Everything was blurred for a second, then detail came in. It seemed like an average storage room, with shelves packed tightly together holding differently colored fabrics. The man led me through many racks, so many that one could easily get lost within. He finally stopped and pulled out one of the rolls of cloth. It was black and looked like it was made out of spandex.

"Are you sure that will be comfortable?" I asked cautiously," It looks like spandex..."

"It's not" the man took a flap of the fabric and turned it so the other side showed. It looked black and fuzzy. Perfect.

"I'll take the roll."

"Are you sure? That's quite a bit of fabric..."

"Yes."

The man nodded nervously," That will be twenty dollars."

I raised an eyebrow, why not pay at the register? But shrugged it off. I took out a twenty dolar bill from my pocket, and he took it greedily. He licked his lips...

Then he suddenly jumped at me.

I yelped and lost my footing as I wheeled back. There was a crazed look in his eyes as he pinned me to the wall and took out a syringe.

"Nighty night Alice!"

He injected it into me as my eyes widened.

Mad Hatter.

Then I fell.

An amount of time later.

*Third person*

Alyssa awoke with a groan to what looked like a long table with fancy white tablecloth. She shifted her arms slightly too feel rope rub against them. Darn it she was restrained.

There was the sound of china clinking and liquid pouring and she looked up.

On both sides of the table were random people, some wearing business suits to Prison uniforms. They all wore masks that resembled a bunny's face. Red glowed from where the eyes were supposed to be, as if the bunnies were devil incarnates.

Her eyes traveled up to be blinded momentarily by light, but she could soon see the outline of a man holding a teapot and teacup. A tall hat was jauntily tilted to the side on his head.

"Ah, Alice is awake!" the Hatter looked up from pouring tea into his cup, and it soon overflowed. He didn't seem to notice though. Alyssa struggled against her binds.

'How could I have fallen for an obvious trap like that?!' she asked herself.

"Why don't you have some tea my dear? Oh wait!" he let out a boisterous laugh as Alyssa growled slightly.

"Oh, don't act like that Alice! I had to bind you or you would leave the tea party early!"

"What tea party? All I see is a group of mind-controlled full grown men in bunny masks..." she almost laughed as she thought of it.

"And you're about to join them!"

Wait, WHAT!?

The hatter got up and put down his overflowing cup of tea and stepped onto the table. The weight shifted and some cups slid off the table. A nice plate shattered as he stepped on it with his black boot. Another foot was brought down on the table and he was standing on it. the rest of the table fell off. He approached Alyssa and crouched down until they were almost eye level.

She glared him down as best as she could as he brought out a hat much like his, except black and with hastily stitched on white bunny ears on the brim.

Alyssa rocked her chair back and forth in desperation as he brought it down on her head.

It felt as if someone laid a warm blanket over her mind. She wanted to just drift off and go...

No!

Alyssa lazily seemed to notice the voice.

He's going to control you! You have to focus and escape!

Alyssa could barely understand the voice, but knew it was urgent. She struggled pitifully against the blankets and slowly grew more and more aware...

BAM!

Light, color, her 5 senses returned in an explosion. She shook her head.

She could not be standing on a falling, large, stopwatch. Could she?

'I must still be under the control of Mad Hatter' she reasoned as she looked about.

The glass of the watch rumbled and some mutated bunnymen erupted from it. They were bipedal and as large and seemed to have the same anatomy of a human, except covered in white fur,a cute cotton ball tail,large fluffy ears, adorable buck teeth...

And glowing "I shall kill you" red eyes...

They growled at her, their buck teeth vibrating from the large noise. Red eyes flashed as they advanced towards her like a predator towards its prey.

Alyssa then realized the danger they opposed to her, and slid into a fighting position. She reached for her retractable metal bar to only grasp for empty air. She tried again, and again. Darn it! The Hatter must have taken it...

She bit her lip slightly as they advanced towards her. A sigh escaped her as she balled her fists, and punched one of them in the face. There was a loud crack as one of its teeth broke off. It fell back, unconscious.

The girl sighed in relief, and winced as pain suddenly shot through her hand. She shook it out as she looked for the next attacker. The unconscious one seemingly melted into the floor. Another one took its place quickly and growled at her before jumping at her.

Alyssa used its momentum to her advantage, ducking down and kicking it in the stomach. The added force propelled it off the watch.

'Ok, Two more'

They moved to her sides, and she kept them both within her field of vision. They both charged at her at the same time, but at the last second she dove to the side.
Their eyes widened, but they couldn't stop themselves from bonking into eachother and disapearing.

Alyssa grinned in triumph, and punched the air in victory.

The hatter materialized out of thin air," How. How did you Alice? How?"

Alyssa walked up to him,"Easy, I'm not Alice." she grabbed his hat off his head and threw it down, before jumping onto it.

The Hatter screeched as reality returned. Alyssa blinked," Woah..."

The villain was on his knees, hugging the hat to his chest like a safety blanket. Alyssa's mind-control hat was next to him. She stomped on that as well before finding the exit and leaving. She found the roll of fabric she had bought propped up on the brick wall outside and picked it up. She smirked before whistling for her motorcycle. It came roaring in, and she hopped onto it, securing the roll of fabric onto her before revving the engine. She came tearing out of the alley and back into the street.

"Ok. I've got the fabric. Next on the list... Oh ya, metal!... But where can I find metal at?" she left off, the only sounds in the air traffic, air whipping past her, and the beeping of a bomb...

Bomb?

O' crud.

Alyssa looked behind her in the seat to see something flashing. She pried it off the seat and threw it off to the side somewhere. She felt heat on her back, some red in her peripheral vision, then nothing.

'That was close. Too close. It seems like someone is trying to kill me... but who?'

Alyssa pondered over it until she realized where she could get some metal.

'The Steel Mill! That's it! But...' Alyssa paled slightly,'Isn't that now in Arkham City? And within Jker's territory? If there is an Arkham City here...' Of course it was completely possible that within this timeline there wasn't ever an Arkham City, but it could be too.

Uh, headache.

Alyssa made it to an intersection, which she took a right at. A green flash zoomed by, a sign that she almost couldn't read.

"Gotham City." she said out loud,"in 152 miles." she sighed,'This is going to take a while...'

*Third Person. Cyborg*

Cyborg picked up a car and looked under it, ignoring the protests of its owners," Anyone in there!" he called. He recieved no answer, so he put the car down.

The titans had been searching the streets for the last hour for their three missing friends. Starfire was tasked to staple posters everywhere, while Cy and BB did Aerial and ground coverage. So far, they had no luck in finding them.

"See anything yet?" Beast Boy's voice crackled through the comm. Cyborg slid it off his belt and put it to his ear.

"Not yet. You?"

"Nothing. Where do you think they could have gone?"

"I don't know... but something fishy is going on."

"What about the fishy treats? Shouldn't we be focused on finding the others?" Star cut in.

The half robot sighed, and signed off.

*Third person. Robin*

Robin reached out through the bars of the cage to feel something soft under his fingertips. Raven's cloak. He sighed in relief.

"Are you Ok?"he asked in a concerned fashion, his eyes searching for her face within the darkness.

"Fine."

"Where are we?"

"I don't know... I can't sense anthing around us."

Robin nodded, then realized she probably can't see him," that's not good..."

"exactly."

They sat therein uncomfortable silence for a bit, before robin felt something clamp ont his hand. He flinched, then realized it wasonly Raven's hand. He relaxed and let her hold his hand. In the darkness.

At least they had a silver lining in eachother's company...
