So...In TMNT and Other Strangeness it never actually states that Mind Trap has to be an unpleasant experience, that one could hypothetically put someone in a pleasant mind trap, or at least pleasant to the one giving the mind trap, also I realize I should probobly set up why the Turtles come to Gotham as Scarecrow isnt going to take Enna to New York, I'll probobly do it next chapter,
Despite being given a soft new nightgown and still having the the scent of the lavender shampoo lingering in her fur, Enna's dreams were not as pleasant as the previous night, this time her dreams returned to the familiar nightmares of her time in the lab, she curled tightly in a fetal postion, she was sweating under her fur, She woke when she heard Jonathan's footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Good morning." Jonathan said "At least...Late morning...It's nearly time for lunch, my...Colleagues will be coming for afternoon tea, and you'll be able to taste some of their cooking."
Then he noticed how Enna's fur seemed a bit frazzled from sweating so much, "You seem a bit...Ruffled...Did you by any chance have some...Unpleasant dreams?"
"Yeah..." Enna had to admit
"About your time in the lab?" Jonathan asked he tried to keep his voice as if he was merely curious but some sympathy was creeping in.
"Yeah." Enna sighed as she slipped off the sofa.
"I can imagine." Jonathan sighed "Why don't I make you something to eat."
He prepared Enna a tuna salad sandwich which to be expected the River Otter found delicious!
"I suppose it naturally appeals to your instincts." Jonathan said as he watched her eat "But tell me, what did they feed you before? You told me you could eat anything a human can eat..."
As she licked some remaining mayo off her fingers Enna sighed "They tested us to see what we could eat..." She said "And first the food they fed us was very good then..."
"Then what..." Scarecrow pressed sensing it wasn't something good
"Then..." Enna grimmaced as she thought back "...Some new...People...Came in and started making changes, they still fed us human food but it was like...They said food from a school cafeteria with like mushy canned vegetables and stuff like that."
"As someone who experienced those kind of school lunches..." Jonathan said as he closed his eyes "...I know quite well."
A few minutes before Jervis and Edward arrived, Jonathan game down with a tape measure "I just want to measure you to get an idea of your size and shape." He said "So I can make a little costume for you when you're finally ready to go out an accompany me."
"What will my costume look like?" Enna asked as he measured her "Will it be a scarecrow costume like your's?"
"Not exactly like mine." Jonathna said "I'm making it from scraps of cloth of had lying around, but I think you'll like it...You must understand Enna, in this business it is always important to...Look your best...That is to make an impression that will strike terror into the hearts of our foes!"
And this speech really made Enna feel that Jonathan was like her an outcast who was fighting against evil, listening to this talk she believed he wanted to help her strike back against the scientists who hurt her and maybe help free the rest of her siblings...
That was when the doorbell rang
Enna couldn't help but feel a little shy, she hid in the kitchen and peeked from the doorway as Jonathan greeted his guests.
"All right Jonathan." Said Edward "What exactly is this...Thing...You wanted us to see."
"Not a thing," Jonathan said "A person, she's..." He looked over his shoulder "She seems to be in the kitchen, Enna, come here and greet our guests."
Initally Jervis and Edward thought it was a child wearing an animal mask but as she came closer the two Roues gasped, first feeling fear, but then Jervis felt absolute delight looking at what could be a denizen of Woderland
"Curiouser and curioser!" He exclaimed "Where did you find this creature Jonathan?"
Jonathan and Enna told them the whole story, well Jonathan did most of the talking, Enna was distracted by Nygma's treacle tarts he had brought, Jonathan did give her a nudge and reminded her those tarts were for everybody
"Sorry," Enna said bashfully "I've just never had something like these before."
"So you're telling us..." Jervis said "That this...Mind trap ability, this Otter Child has, is like a combination of your fear gas and my dream machine..."
"Indeed." Jonathan said grinning smugly "Where you and I have to procur expensive chemicals or macinery, Enna's psychic ability is limited only by her imagination!"
Nygma was listening and he wasn't sure he liked where this was going
"And it doesn't nessicarily have to be an unpleasant experience..." Jervis said "...She could put someone in a pleasant mind trap if she wanted to."
"Yes." Jonathan said obviously not really caring about that possibility as he wanted to use her power to induce terror
"Could you try such a thing on me?" Jervis asked he then turned to Enna "Could you please put me in the most pleasant mind trap you can think of?"
"Jervis!" Edward exclaimed "Are you insane?!"
"Now, now." Jonathan said "This actually could be very good for learning about the nature of the mind trap." He was grateful Jervis was the one who wanted to volanteer as he was still wary of being put in a mind trap himself even if it was a pleasant one.
"OK..." Enna said "...Here goes.."
In an instant, Jervis found he was no longer in Jonathan's living room, but in some sunny beach, the golden sand had no temperture and he didn't feel hot under the blazing sun, a somber thought was that Enna had never been to an actual beach, hadn't speant enough time outside and thus didn't have enough experience with actual weather to be able to simulate the experience, that she only knew of the beach from images she had seen.
A group of surfers, human surfers, all looking very much like the typical cast of Baywatch ran by waving most friendly asking him to join them and they went into the water.
With that Enna released him from the mind trap.
"What did you see?" Jonathan asked
"I was on a beach..." Jervis said "...And a bunch of young surfers ran by and asked me to join them..." He looked at Enna most sympathetically "Something that must be very appealing to you isn't it?"
Edward took a sip of tea and said "Jonathan, may I speak to your privatly for a minute?"
So the mind trap was a hint at what Enna yearns for the most, Jervis thought of Baywatch because that's what his likely familiar with if only from hearing other people talk about it, but Enna based it on a different show as shall soon be seen
