Sharon Armstrong huffed great lung fulls of air as she ran down the dark alleyway, her service pistol drawn and her eyes darting about madly. Sweat dripped down from her pale face, caused from the exertion of running after the criminal she had been chasing as well as the fear that raced through her heart. She was alone, in a dank, deserted alley, running after one of the most dangerous criminals in Gotham City.
The police officer slowed down her run, panting and slightly out of breath. She adjusted her uniform cap over her blond hair and looked around, her eyes adjusting to the shadows of the alleyway. As she breathed, her chest rose and fell, the blue uniform top barely managing to keep her enormous breasts restrained. She wiped away at her sweaty forehead with a sleeve before trying her radio again. Sharon would definitely feel a whole lot better if she weren't the only cop here, but unfortunately all she received from the radio was static. The officer cursed softly, before walking further into the alley.
As her eyes darted about, searching the gloom for any sign of her quarry, she couldn't help but hear her mother's voice, a voice that echoed from the deep reaches of her mind. It was as familiar to her as her own, as was its ever nagging and criticizing tone. "Sharon, being a police officer is no job for a woman. You're a beautiful girl, you should find a husband and settle down. Leave the crime fighting to the men, and that crazy bat man thing."
Sharon shook her mother's voice out of her head, trying to focus on the task at hand instead. She needed to find the criminal she had been chasing, then arrest him. That was her job, her duty. She swore an oath to uphold the law, and by God, she would do so to the best of her abilities. The policewoman crept further into the alley, her gun held firm. She would catch the madman she was after, or die trying.
Unfortunately for her, she did not see the dark figure move up to her from behind some boxes until it was too late. The man was on her before she could whirl around and shoot, grabbing her shoulder while slipping a thin metal card into the band of her police officer's cap.

Jervis Tetch was quite pleased with himself. He had managed to not only elude the Batman after the vile miscreant broke into his secret lab, but had escaped from the numerous police officers that had chased after him as well. Although he knew the fact that he was a genius helped his escape, he also realized that luck had a much larger role in it. It was luck that allowed him to slip away from the Bat and the waves of police, it was luck that led him into this deserted alleyway, and it was luck that he managed to slip one of his mental control devices onto the lone policewoman whom had managed to track him. Now he was free and clear, with no one else chasing after him.
"Huzzah!" laughed the Mad Hatter, finally allowing himself a bout of good cheer. He had been feeling incredibly depressed lately, as many of his schemes fell flat due to the actions of the Batman. Now though, after his daring escape and eluding capture, he felt on top of the world. Of course his lab and all his equipment were in the hands of the police, but he was confident that in time he could replace them.
It was unfortunate that he was not able to take more of his mental control disks with him before he hastily left his lab. He had only managed to grab a handful, and those were of the older variety that merely left his victims' minds open to suggestions. He could not directly control them through the master mind control device in his hat, thereby limiting him to vocal commands.
"Oh well," he muttered. "I'll just have to make do."
His glance went over to the pretty young police officer that was now under his control. She was definitely a curvaceous little thing, her blue uniform emphasizing both her bust and her bottom. Jervis quickly shook off his lascivious thoughts; he was, after all, a gentleman, and gentlemen didn't think such things.
"Well, my dear," The Mad Hatter tipped his hat before bending over to kiss the young woman's hand. "I must leave you now. Do not worry though, I'm sure your fellows will arrive soon to aid you. It has been a pleasure meeting you, but I'm afraid I must bid you farewell."
Jervis turned around to leave, but quickly whirled back and grabbed Sharon's gun. It never hurt to have some firepower, in case one of his mental control disks failed to activate. The Mad Hatter slipped the pistol into his coat, then dashed away from the still police woman towards the entrance of the alley.
He was hungry, and a spot of tea would do him a world of good.

John Baker could not believe his eyes. He had been walking home from his friend Todd's place, when he decided to cut across the alleyway between Todd's apartment complex and the local butcher's. To his absolute shock, he saw a tall, lanky man in a thick overcoat and top hat rush a lady cop and plant something on her head. The cop then turned all zombie-like and limp, standing in front of the man as if she were asleep standing up. The man then started talking to himself before grabbing the cop's gun and running out the other side of the alley.
John took a deep breath to quell his excitement. He was a skinny, short, nerdy eighteen year old, and was a fan of the daily criminal activities of this dark city. Unlike the other geeky teenage boys in his neighborhood, he didn't bother reading comic books or watching cartoons or movies. After all, they lived in what seemed like a real-life comic book, with real-life superheroes and villains. He read the news accounts of the mysterious Batman, as well as the more colorful cast of Gotham's bizarre criminal underworld. He knew all about the Joker, Two-Face, and Killer Croc. He'd read about all their capers, from the Penguin's attempted heist of the Scarlet Diamond to the Scarecrow's poisoning of the city's water supply. It all fascinated John, and now he had actually seen one of his beloved super villains in action!
There was no denying whom the man in the coat and hat was: Jervis Tech, a.k.a. the Mad Hatter. It was so exciting for the high school senior to actually catch a glimpse of the famous criminal in person! He was tempted to slink out of his hiding place and ask the madman for an autograph, but thankfully his common sense won out. Tech was, after all, a dangerous criminal. Who knows what he'd do if he had found out John was a witness to his dastardly acts?
Speaking of dastardly acts, John thought, that cop is still standing there. Wondering if she was alright, the boy stood up from his hiding place and cautiously approached her. He was wary that the Mad Hatter might still be in the area.
When John was less than five feet away, he was struck by how beautiful the lady police officer was. She was older than him, probably in her mid to late twenties. She was also taller than he was (not surprising, since he was rather short for his age) and had long blond hair tied into a bun. Her face was pretty, with soft skin, pouty lips, and the most amazingly blue eyes he had ever seen. Her body was great too; she had an athletic physique and obviously worked out. The blue police uniform seemed to hug all her curves, from her tight butt to her most impressive chest. That part of her anatomy held John's attention the most. Her breasts were pretty big, definitely bigger than his mom's. He had snuck a peak at his mother's brassier drawer once and saw hers to be a "D" size, whatever that meant. He had thought at the time that his mom's boobs were pretty big, but they didn't compare to this cop's!
