~*~*~*~*~*~3rd Person~*~*~*~*~*~*~


The Avengers told you everything. From the plight of Wonderland to the Hatters Madness. Throughout their explanation, you sit in silence, listening closely. You where very relived to know you weren't going mad, but you where also a bit terrified at how much they where asking of you. Once they'd finished their story, they all sat in silence, waiting for you're answer.

"Will you help?" asked Steve

Running a hand through your (h/l) (h/c) hair, you consider your options. On one hand, terrifying, dangerous, life threatening adventure in a new world that was relying on you for help. On the other hand, you had a life. A pretty good life. You had the Bakery, you had friends, you had..... You had..... A boring, average, no surprises, normal life....

You stand up, hand on hips, and face the group of superheroes.

"I will help. I will help the Hatter save Wonderland!" they all stare at you in disbelief.

"Let me get this straight." began Clint "You will willingly risk life and limb, to save a dying world full of crazy deadly monsters, at the request of a Mad Woman. And you're completely ok with that?"  you nod happily.

"Ok then! Let's get going!" sang Tony "Theirs someone who's dying to meet you (y/n)."

"The same someone who turned Thor into a lady?" Thor grimaced at the memory

"PLEASE, DO NOT REMIND ME, LADY (y/n)." they all burst out laughing.

.....

You met the Avengers out on the lawn with you're stuff, when a thought occurred to you.

"Hey, erm... Guys? How did you get here?"

"Well, being part of S.H.I.E.L.D does have its perks." admitted Bruce

"Come on ma'am, the helicopter is this way." ushered Steve

"Helicopter? SWEET!!" you punch the air. "Good bye boring life! Hello adventure~"

Later on, looking back at that life changing moment, you would think to yourself....

'I wouldn't have done it any other way.'


~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~Time Skip, because we're all mad here~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~


You step out onto the top floor of Stark Tower, after an interesting journey in the helicopter, in which you got to know the Avengers. You connected with Natasha the most, who was eager to have another (sane) woman around. The boys where polite (mostly), and it was clear you where all going to be good friends. And all this while in a helicopter!
(It took a long time to get to Stark Tower)

"Wooooooooaaaawwwwww...." you marvel at interior. A grinning Tony Stark winked at you as he breezed past

"You like?"  you nodded enthusiastically

"HELL YES!! This place is AWSOME!!" you cheered. Steve laid a hand on your shoulder.

"Please (y/n), don't inflate his ego. It's already so big it's technically a country."

Tony came back when he heard your raucous laughter. He smirked at Steve and you.

"Yep~ has its own flag and everything! You jelly?"  Steve just sighed.

You on the other hand, decided to play a little game with the cocky billionaire. You stepped forward, and made a dismissive gesture.

"Bitch please! My ego is so big astrologers classify it as a planet!" the rest of the avengers went

"Ooooooooo~" Tony pretended to be offended, while secretly trying to hide his smile.

"That so? 'Cause I had my scientists analyse you're ego... They had to use a microscope!"

He folded his arms, and smirked at you. "Oh, you're going to regret that Stark!"

So began the Great War of Stark Tower, the two combatants, neither wanting to back down, engaged in a fight similar to 'yo Mama so fat!'. A clash of egos. The two champions began a back and forth so heated, flames where practically thrown between the two! After all, you where a master of the burn! This went on for about half an hour until:

"Your egos SO small, the ants say 'greetings brother'!" cried Tony

"Oh yeah? Well I recon the ANT has a bigger ego!" Tony gaped, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, desperately trying to think of a come back.

"What's the mater fish? Out of you're depth~" you snap you're fingers in the billionaires face and walk back to the rest of the avengers.

"Oh my god! Tony, bro! You totally got served!" cheered Clint

"Oh shut up birdbrain!" pouted Tony "Lets just introduce her to the Hatter already!"

~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~

After riding the elevator down a floor, and after going through a maze of corridors, you stopped outside a door, fairly close to the huge living room.

"Well, this is it." said Steve. You where about to go inside, when Natasha put a hand on your shoulder.

"Just... Expect the unexpected." you smile reassuringly at her, and enter the room. You glare at the room.

"This..... Is SO not was I was expecting! How could anybody expect THAT!!"

The huge room was filled with random objects of all shapes and sizes. Dice the size of cookers, teacups the size dogs, marbles as big as your head! The room was so full of clutter, neither you nor the Avengers could spot Hatter and Loki, because of the amount of random stuff, including several large (random object N*1) and two large (random object N*2) sticking out of the ceiling. The ceiling was distant, and the walls barely visible. As far as the eye could see.... Random super sized junk.

"WHAT IN ODINS NAME HAPPENED HERE??" boomed Thor, making everyone wince.

When no response came, they all began to get worried.

"Hatter?" called Steve

"Reindeer Games?" called Tony

"BROTHER!?!" yelled Thor

"Ouch! Thor, not so loud!"

"My apologies, lady (y/n)." whispered Thor

"Well? Come one!" you yell, plunging into the chaos of the cluttered room, the Avengers hot on your heels.

It was like a maze. A maze of very large random objects. Large empty bottles, enormous balls of paper, huge pieces of cutlery, gigantic paper clips, the list went on and on.

"I swear this room was never this big! The ceiling wasn't that high." mutters Tony.

"I've lost sight of the walls." states Bruce.

"Hatter must have done something to the room again." said Natasha.

"Erm...guys? What the heck it's THAT!" you yell, pointing ahead of them.

You all crane your necks back, trying to see the top. It was an extremely gigantic green velvet Top Hat, that towered over the small group. The thing was at least twenty feet tall! It even had its own miniature clouds around the top, and it was so wide it could easily fit your house inside. At that moment, the top of the hat opened as if on a hinge, and a large tomato, the size of a small car flew out. Everyone took a step sideways, and watched the tomato fall on a distracted Clint, completely squashing him. You all stare at the tomato. Two arms pop out the side, along with two legs. Slowly, the tomato gets to its feet, and Clint's head pops out the top, looking very surprised indeed!

"Pffffffffffffff~" you and Tony snigger. Clint deadpans.

"This!" he declares "Is NOT funny!" You, Tony and Natasha all lose it. After five minutes of laughing, you finally stop. More or less, and Steve and Thor pull a tomato juice stained Clint out of the tomato.

Together, you all make your way towards a checkered door on the large green hat. You push it open, and see an enormous circular room, full of enormous bits of china tea set. In the dead centre, a little bit lower than the rest of the room, was a large circle of pillows and puffs, all brightly coloured and inviting. Lying on a puff, his back to the group, was Loki, who was deep in conversation with the Hatter.

You take a moment to look closely at the Hatter. She was a young woman who looked about 19, with ear length bright orange hair, with two collar length bangs framing her face. She had very dark rimmed large yellow green eyes, a few delicate freckles, and a slightly upturned nose. She wore a top hat of dark patterned velvet, with a peach coloured sash that tied around the base, and the whole thing decorated with a peacock feather, four hat pins, and a note poking out of the sash with 10/9 on it. She was dressed in a dark red waist coat , with an old fashioned white shirt beneath it, and a choker with a small metal Ω hanging from it. She also wore a pare of dark dress pants that looked a little short at the ankles, revealing calf length black and white stripy socks, no shoes. A very dark blue coat lay beside her where she lounged across two puffs, starring at the ceiling, and chatting with the dark haired man. You notice that both people have a very British accent.

The Cheshire Cat was sitting happily beside her on a puff, grinning at you.

"BROTHER! YOU HAD US WORRIED!" the dark haired man looked over his shoulder at Thor muttering a "Doubt it" under his breath. Then he looked at you. It was a bit unnerving, almost as if he where scanning you. He looked back at the woman in the top hat.

"Hatter." she looked up at Loki, who gestured to you.

The woman stares at you. If you thought the man's stare was unnerving, her's was a whole new kind of weird. Her large oddly coloured eyes seemed to peer right into you, seeing into your soul. Then a wide manic grin split her face and she launched herself at you with a joyous cry of

"AALLLLIIIIIICCCCEEEEEeeeeeee!"

You barely had time to yell, before you where glomped by the woman in the top hat. She picked you up easily and began dancing round in circles, pulling you with her, laughing like a kid at Christmas. She stopped moving, and hugged you again. Then she pulled back and shuck your hand vigorously with both of hers.

"Alice dear! So good to meet you! I am the Mad Hatter! But of course you already know that don't you?" all you could do was nod, still being in a state of shock. Not being able to think of anything smart to say, you just said the first thing that popped into your head.

"Nice hat." the Hatter beamed at you.

"Thank you~"

"Hatter, why don't you calm down a bit. (Y/n) looks like she's going into shock." said Bruce gently.

The Hatter looked from Bruce to (y/n). He was right, she did look a bit out of it. She didn't look like the old Alice. Not at all. She had (h/l) (h/c) hair, and wore a plain (fav. Colour t shirt) ,dark slightly baggy jeans and (fav. Shoes). Her eyes however, where exactly the same shade  of bright (e/c), and full of the same shinning curiosity.

The Hatter took a deep breath, let go of (y/n), and went back to her place on the puffs. Everyone stared at her in shock.

"What?! I'm perfectly capable of being calm and level headed! I just choose not to." grumbled the Hatter.

Eventually, they all joined Loki and the Hatter on the puffs (I like puffs), and waited for the Hatter to speak. She didn't. She DID however, produce a smaller version of her top hat in sophisticated dark red, with a grey sash, and hand it to the Cheshire Cat. He set it on his head and grinned at the Hatter. He looked quite fetching in it.

"Hatter, why is the room in this state?" asked Steve. The Hatter rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly.

"Well you see Steve, I promised Loki I'd teach him some of my magic! And I guess we sort of got carried away with the summoning spells....Clint why are you covered in tomato juice?"

"Don't ask." grumbled Clint. The Hatter shrugged, and turned to (y/n).

"Now," began the Hatter "how about you tell us what's happened to you the last few days Alice?" everyone turned to look at you.
They all listened closely as you told them about the last few days, the Hatter throwing in the odd remark, like 'Stupid stuck up flowers!' Or 'The ghost of Alice!? Very curious...'

When you told them about the zombies however, the Hatter sat up, and stared. Throughout the rest of the story the Hatter sat forward and stared at you without blinking, which you found VERY creepy. When you finished, she sat back in disbelief.

"The Deathless" breathed the Hatter

"The what now?" asked Tony

"The Deathless." repeated the Hatter "An experiment by the Red Queen gone wrong. They where her subjects, then they became her 'test' subjects. The Deathless where her attempt at combining clockwork and human flesh, creating creatures incapable of death, but cursed to live a half life of agony and despair. They obey none but their master, doing horrible things at her command." She stares at you solemnly.

"You set them free. Any doubt that you are not Alice, is gone. Only Alice could make them obey someone other than the Queen, AND set them free. And in return, they gave you a gift. Why don't you show us the sword." everyone stared eagerly at you. Awkwardly, you stand up and run your thumb around the cog tied to your hand.

The sword sprung into being from the copper cog, expanding and growing until it encased your arm from your first to your elbow in shinning copper armour, and the bright metal blade stretched from your hand. The ruby gleamed on the back of your hand as you gave the sword an experimental swing, much to the aw of the watching Avengers.

The Hatter leaped to her feet, grabbed your arm, and examined it closely. She let your arm go, and snapped her fingers. A wooden training dummy appeared a few feet away, and the Hatter pointed at it.

"Show me what you can do." you shifted nervously, never having actually USED the sword before. The Hatter smiled, as if she'd read your mind. "Don't worry about forms and such, that comes later. For now, just take a swing at it."

You walk over to the dummy and swing at it, making a horizontal slash across its chest. The Hatter nodded in approval, walking over to you. She raised your arm out in front of you and began gesturing at it.

"This is a sword, not a knife, or a fork for that mater! A sword must be used as if it where an extension of your arm, and used it big swings. Now this sword has quite a bit of reach to it, but not too much to overbalanced you. On the other hand, you won't be able to move it as fast. This weapon has its draw backs, but after I finish teaching you, it won't be a problem."

"Wait a minute. Teach me?" the Hatter razed an eyebrow

"Well of course! You can't go to Wonderland defenceless! You wouldn't last five minutes!"

You gulp nervously. "But what if I'm not good enough? What if I'm not strong enough to save Wonderland? What if-"

"Did the person who invented tea say 'what if'? What if they think I'm stupid? What if they don't like it? What if my hair turns green?!? NO!! He put herbal leafs in boiling water, and look where it got him! My point is, you can't live your life in the fear of failure. You have to just try, and hope for the best!
Take this leap of faith Alice. Like the man who invented tea! Except his was more of a 'leaf' of faith!" the Hatter laughed at her own joke while the others just groan.

"Alice I shall not 'leaf' you alone until you're strong enough to save Wonderland!" laughed the Hatter.

"Oh god." groaned Natasha "Somebody make her stop."

"Oh I don't know Natasha, maybe you should 'leaf' if it bothers you so much~" you tease. The Hatter grins at you and you both high five.

"I see we're going to get along just fine Alice."

"I think so two."

You both turn back to the dummy.

The Hatter pulls out the Vorpal Blade, making the Avengers very nervous. You stare at it curiously.

"Is that a kitchen knife?" the Hatter frowns at you.

"No, this is the Vorpal Blade, one of the most powerful artefacts in Wonderland. The previous Alice gave it to me when she died.
NOW! If you strike here, here, and here, even if they aren't incredibly deep cuts, your foe will still die of blood loss." Hatter pointed her knife at the dummies throat, wrist and forearm.

"But if you want a clean kill, I suggest here, here or here." she pointed to the heart, the throat, and the head. "Now hit where I've shown you."

You slice the dummies throat, wrist, and forearm respectively, causing a bit of straw to fall onto the floor. To you, your movements where clumsy and inexperienced, but to the Hatter, you displayed natural talent, and a willingness to learn.

The Hatter nodded. "Now, bear in mind what you just did. By the time I'm through with you, you'll be able to do this!"

The Hatter shot forward at an impossible speed, the Vorpal Blade glinting in her hand. She blurred past the dummying in a whirlwind of glinting metal that made lots of nasty *snick* sounds and a trail of faint blue light where it moved, leaving literally thousands of long deep cuts on the mannequin's surface. Basically, she completely destroyed it. What was left of the dummy, collapsed into a heap of wood, metal, and straw.

The room stared in aw at the Hatter, who seemed totally unfazed by her display. She smirked, the still faintly glowing blade in hand.

"Still look like a kitchen knife?" you shook your head. 'It looks like a deadly weapon' you think

"Good~ your weapon isn't as old as mine nor has it seen more use, but that doesn't mean its weaker. Once you learn how to use it properly, it will become a formidable weapon, more powerful even than the Vorpal Blade! But remember Alice, it's not the blade that makes the warrior!"

You nod. If theres even then the slightest chance of being able to do what the Hatter does, you where going to take it! The Hatter smirks, conjuring up a few more dummies, she turns back to you.

"Then let the training begin~"
