Day 3 Au
Day 3 Au
I had no idea if my OC counted as an AU but why not?
The beginning of a mad friendship:
Today was…not a good day to put it lightly. Maybe not the worst day, but he needed minute to just get his head back on and let the world slow down a bit.
Jervis slowly trudged forward in the rain not quite sure where he was or what to do. He ,once again, was stopped from being with Alice by Batman and once again he had to flee. Only this time he HADN’T controlled her he HADN’T shoved tea down her throat she had been perfect and so nice, until Batman arrived. That’s when it all came crashing down, that’s when Alice showed all her stripes, she tricked him. He was lucky there were still some goons not pummeled by Batman or else he’d be off to Arkham. Lucky, lucky, lucky Him.
A puddle showing his slack face ended his musings.
Finally Jervis stopped and looked up, right in front of him a colorful building who still had it’s lights on. The green, pink, and blue swirls felt soothing, and looking into the windows showed many ,just as colorful, desserts. Tilting his head further back he saw the name “Sweeten your day” the name sounded familiar, scrunching his face up it finally hit him. This was where he bought all of his cakes from.
Jervis had never actually been to the building before he just had his henchmen get them, though seeing how inviting it looked he wished he had.
It was so… pleasant. Out of some little story book about a father taking his son here to cheer him up, a shy baker trying to bake something for a love interest or a frequent Customer and a worker cheesily flirting everyday. Without thinking Jervis entered the store.
Disappointedly or lucky he didn’t see anyone at the counter so he took a seat at one of the corner tables only big enough for two. With that little thought Tetch drifted off to Wonderland with Alice. Not hearing the only employee walk in again.

Late night
Ficlet of Jervis and Madeline
The rain made everything seem so loud. Every step, every panting breath, and every police siren echoed so much louder. A part of her wished all of the noise would just stop, stop and let her think. Instead, she kept running forward. Madeline could feel rather than see Tetch stumbling behind her, all she could do was grip his hand tighter and hope the next turn would give them a place to hide.
Finally several abandoned buildings came into sight and Madeline forced her exhausted legs to push faster.
"Tetch, come on! Just a few more steps! Then the police won't get us. I promise, we'll be safe soon!"
Madeline turned her head only for a moment to see Jervis's panting exhausted face. If she was in a better scenario, she'd try to carry him, but that was impossible now.
Finally buildings stood in front of them. Without thought Madeline grabbed her remaining Kama and broke the glass to the dingy window. She quickly grabbed Tetch and thrust him through before hopping in herself. The moment her body dropped inside she felt shards of glass entering her torn boot.
For a few tense seconds, they both remained on the floor, panting. Mercifully, the sirens disappeared, leaving only the sound of rain. Still exhausted, Madeline pushed herself up and looked at her companion. He remained on the floor, trying to curl up and block out the world.
"Alright, alright, Tetch, the cops are gone, we just need to lay -"
"March, why did- did she do that? Why did she scream for the Red Queen?"
Madeline's face softened as she realized that Tetch was once again lost in his own fantasy. Slowly, Madeline crept closer to her companion, ignoring the glass that penetrated part of her broken boot. Madeline half jumped towards Tetch, before tilting her chin up and wiggling her nose.
"Now now Mister Hatta' we know that wasn't the real Alice. Why that young girl just wanted - wanted to play a game with us. No need to sulk!"
As casually as she could, so as to not spook him, she pushed Tetch into her lap, dusting off the broken glass that stuck to him.
"Ah, but March! I don't care for croquet, you know! And I'm tired of all these silly games!"
Tetch pouted, throwing his arms in the air, ignoring the bleeding wound on his arm.
"Alice, oh Alice, where is she? Can't she see how much I want to bring her a party?"
Madeline sighed, looking around the old building. She would need to find something to distract him from his pity party.
"Well, sometimes girls just want to -"
Suddenly, Madeline had a marvelous idea. Moving her hand to grip his shoulder, she forced him up to see a pile of decrepit boxes.
"Ah, look Hatta', a tea party! Already set up! How wondrous, how stupendous! Perhaps this was all a game to get us here!"
Madeline glanced down at Tetch, hoping that he would see the table and cups, and not some other wicked thing. She could never fully predict where his mind would take him.
Just as she thought, he immediately jumped up and began eagerly walking towards the pile.
"Well, Callooh Callay to you, March! For a hare your eyes are sharp, why I bet they could cut a rath in half!"
Without another word, he sat himself on one box lower than the rest, and began to mime pouring tea.
"Hurry, Hare! Before it gets too cold!"
Smiling, Madeline stood up, already feeling the soreness in her body. It was only a temporary distraction until Tetch got his bearings.
'Why, see this! Our day went from mimsy to frabjous in an instant! Why it's like a -'
"Not the same thing a bit!’ said the Hatter. `You might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!"
"You might just as well say,’ added the March Hare, `that 'I like what I get' is the same thing as 'I get what I like'!"
The words tumbled out of Madeline’s mouth with ease. Madeline slowly sat down next to her friend and pretended to eat a crumpet. She knew they'd have to leave and find a better hide out. For now, playing pretend with her friend was all she wanted to do.

▬▬ if i follow you, it’s because i want to interact with you! if it seems like i am not engaging, it’s not because i am ignoring you. it’s most likely because i may not know how to involve my muse with yours. it might just take a while to find the right opportunity, but please know i am interested!
