FOUR - Hearts
Hatter searched through the Casino to find her. He slipped quietly along the halls, thanking his good fortune that whatever emergency had struck the Casino, it gave him cover. Then he thought with horror that perhaps the Queen had simply had Alice sedated and shoeless, placing her on the Casino floor to drain her dry like any other Oyster. The thought of those pretty blue eyes going empty, forgetting everything, even him, infuriated Hatter. He immediately tried to find a quiet way into the main gaming room.
Like a hero, he showed up just in time, and her reaction was as gratifying as his wildest fantasies. All he could think was that if she could just hug him all the time, he’d spend the rest of his life in blissful happiness. It overwhelmed him: the worry, the relief, the little hitch in her voice that told him just how much she cared. He managed to avoid succumbing then and there, because the danger of capture still loomed over them. Then all hell broke loose. Well, in fairness, Alice started it. Little rabble rouser, he’d thought smugly.
It took every scrap of strength he had to pull her away from her father’s body. She gave off grief in waves, and he wanted to cry with her, but he couldn’t. The Casino was about to come down like the house of cards it was, and they’d be killed if they didn’t run. They helped disoriented Oysters out, and ran for the safety of the woods.
And damn it, the Hearts all had the bloody worst timing, the lot of them! That was TWICE he’d been interrupted by a Heart! But Alice, oh his beautiful, strong Alice, waking up, shaking up the whole of Wonderland. What a comedown to see the powerful Queen revealed as nothing but a strident bitch.
And actually, there was a moment there where he could’ve actually gotten to like that Jack Heart blighter. Clean cut indeed, clever bastard.
The Queen was imprisoned by her own Suits in the City. The holding rooms of White Rabbit proved useful as Jack Heart, the soon-to-be-King, led everyone back to the City. The location of the Looking Glass was revealed, and the reawakened Oysters were prepared for their journey home.
Hatter was sick, ill, he’s sure of it. Maybe it was all the Oysters around that caused the horrible churning in his stomach. No, honestly - it was seeing Alice in King Jack’s arms. Seeing her smile full of open affection for that royal prig. Hatter still thought Jack was cold, correct, not at all what he’d have guessed Alice would like, but what can he do? It’s clear what - who she preferred. He tried to slip away, to not be the third wheel at their tender farewell, but then she called to him. And he went to her, pathetic, like a tea-head to the Tea House, unable to resist her.
There was a hesitant anticipation in her, something he can’t understand, so he laughed and stuck to his guns, telling her to go home to her world, where she’ll be safe, like he had all along, babbling like a moron, he snarled inwardly. Her suggestion that he visit her world squeezed his heart, and like a fool he suggested an activity he’d overheard from the other Oysters, whatever bloody ‘pizza’ may be. She seemed surprised, then sad, and just as he was about to start frantically apologizing and promising her anything to make her smile again, the technician pulled her away and shoved her through the Glass.
So, that’s what loosing a limb feels like.
Hatter stared at the Glass, reflecting the milling population of the room as Oysters queued up to go home to the otherworld. He knew they were looking at him, Charlie and Jack, and he didn’t acknowledge them. He was too absorbed in the feeling of a gaping hole in his heart where Alice used to be.
That is that, he finally decided, and turning on his heel, he left the Looking Glass chamber.
He returned to the ruined remains of the Tea House. There would be no need for such a place in Jack Heart’s new Wonderland. Most of the place was looted after the Mad March trashed it, looking for Alice. Back in his office, Hatter listlessly righted his chair and collapsed into it. He still held the purple coat in his hands, and with despair, he brought the collar to his face, and inhaled the lingering scent of Alice’s skin.
