Bella POV

Meanwhile, I had made my way down the street. I had no idea where I was going but I knew that I had to get away from that lady.

"What are you doing out here all alone on your own?" I looked up to see a familiar face and I smiled and rushed into his arms.

"Jewome go bye bye. Mean lady said she was going to take me away fowm Sissy. She thweatened to spank me. Whateba dat is." I replied with a whimper.

At this, Jarvis frowned "whose heart was filled with malice that they'd threaten to hurt you my sweet little Alice?"

"My name is not Alice it's Bella."

At this, Jarvis chuckled. "Your so sweet. Shall we go get you something to eat?" He asked upon hearing my stomach growl.

"Otay." I replied taking Jarvis's hand. He lead me to an abandoned amusement park. I looked around in confusion. "Jawbiss? Can you do me a faba?"

"Of course Bella, what is it?"

"Make me fowget. Make me fowget ebwything cept Sissy. Me nu wanna fowgets hewa me lobes hewa and she lobes me."

"Are you sure that's what you want?"

"Wes."

"Alright. Look deep into my eyes. Not above them not around them but deep into their center. Your eyes are getting heavy. When I snap my fingers you will forget about everything except that you are my loving baby sister. 1, 2, 3."

When I snapped my fingers Bella awoke from her trance and taking her by the hand I lead her to the wonderland amusement park.

"What's dis place? It's scawy."

"Why my sweet Alice, don't you trust me?." Jarvis asked a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Me twust you big bwotha." I replied and Jarvis smiled.

"Welcome home my sweet little Alice." Jarvis replied flicking on the lights and I looked around in wonder. "Welcome my darling Alice to Wonderland." Jarvis replied with a tip of his hat and a wave of his hand.

Welcome to Wonderland, we've got it all
Potions and pastries that make you grow tall
Forests and cottages, castles and cards that can talk
Welcome to Wonderland, look where you're at
Maddest of hatters, the Cheshire Cat
Magical cabins and lovely white rabbits with clocks

Dancing through a dream underneath the stars
Laughing 'til the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart
Oh, Wonderland I love

Welcome to Wonderland, I'll be your guide
Holding your hand under sapphire skies
Let's go exploring or we could just go for a walk
Welcome to Wonderland, where should we go

There's a tea party along down the road
Make an appearance and maybe they'll sing us a song
Dancing through a dream underneath the stars
Laughing 'til the morning comes
Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart
Oh, Wonderland I love

Nothing around here is quite as it seems
Not sure if anything's real or a dream
And the only thing sure from the start
Is the song that's inside of your heart
Don't let it leave

If this was a dream, then at least I've got
Memories for when morning comes
Now that I must leave with a heavy heart
Oh, Wonderland I love

Jarvis sings to Bella who looks around in wonder.

Quinn POV

Meanwhile, back with Jerome's body, Sofia and I we're having a staring match. "Why would you try to kidnap Bella?" Harvey asked looking completely confused.

"That's is none of your business Harvey." Sofia replied continuing to glare at Me.

"Ok. Obviously there is some bad history between the two of you. Someone explain how you know each other." Jim demanded.

"It's complicated." I replied.

"Jim darling, this isn't your concern." Sofia replied stroking his cheek causing me to fake gag. "This is between the circus freak and myself. She took someone precious from me and now I intend to rectify that."

"Don't tell me this is about Marvin."

"I loved that boy like a son and you helped a known criminal take him away from me. I'll never forgive you for that. I swore that I would one day repay you for the part you played in his disappearance."

Sophia replied with a frown. "Imagine my delight when Barbara and Tabitha mentioned that you were wanting to search for this girl. I began to wonder why she was so important to you. Now I know. I will find her, and I will take her away from you
forever."

"First of all, We both know that your lying. You didn't care about Marvin. You wanted to run the underworld. When you saw that Oswald had gotten close to the boy you tried to kidnap him and force Oswald to bow to your demands."

"Oswald came to me for help because he knew that I had once been a part of the Sirens. Together we faked Marvin's death and sent him far away from your grasp. As for the little girl, I'm warning you stay away from her Sofia!"

"Or what? What exactly are you going to do circus freak?"

"I won't hesitate to put you back in a coma and this time, you won't recover." I replied with a growl.

"Did you hear that? This freak show just threatened to kill me. Your not going to let her get away with that are you Jim, darling?"

"As much as I'm enjoying watching this cat fight and lovers quarrel perhaps it would be in the best interest of all parties involved to put it on hold momentarily. The child is loose alone in Gotham. This isn't what you'd call a safe city."

"We need to find her before she gets herself into trouble. However, I'm not going anywhere with this devil woman running around. We can't trust her Jim." Harvey replied and I nodded.

"I hate agreeing with Bullock, but I am not going anywhere with that witch. She needs to be in handcuffs. Not free to run around the city stirring up trouble."

"Do you have any idea where Bella would go?"

"I have an idea of who might know but do you really think I'll tell you with that witch standing right there?"

"Come now, there is no need for name calling." Jim replied.

"She started it." I grumbled causing Bruce to laugh.

"Quinn we need all hands on deck if we stand any chance of finding Bella." Jim replied. I shook my head no.

"If it's all the same to you I think it's best that Alfred, Bruce and I go alone to find Bella."

"Why exactly would that be circus freak? So you can find the child and then hide her away? I don't think so. We will find the child and I will take her away from you."

"Over my dead body!" I hissed at her and Sofia smiled.

"That's the first intelligent thing you've said all day." Sofia replied pointing a gun at me.

"Look, the poor child has lost so much already, do you really want her to loose you too?" Bullock replied and I frowned I hated it when he was right.

"No." I grumbled. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see a very concerned looking Bruce.

"Quinn you loved Jerome didn't you?" I nod. "Do you love Bella as well?" Again I nod. "You want to make sure she's safe right? Then please, you need to tell us what you know." I shake my head no Bruce sighs "I have an idea how to ensure that she isn't placed in the foster care system but we need to find her."

"I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone else except Alfred. Not even Jim or Harvey. I can't trust them not after they were so willing to hand Bella over to Sofia."

"Oh come on, that was before we knew who she was." Harvey complained.

"How could you not know who she was? I could tell by her cold unfeeling eyes who she was. That and only two people have ever called me Circus freak. Silver, Galavan's adopted niece and Sofia Falcone."

"You know Sofia, your father would be so disappointed in you. He may have done his share of illegal things, but he never put a child's life in danger."

"Your one to talk circus freak. The longer you wait to tell us where she might be the more danger you place her in." Sofia replied with a slight scoff.

I frown I hate knowing that she's right. Turning to Bruce I whisper the answer into his ear. His eyes go wide with shock. "Oh dear. That's not good."

"What's not good?" Alfred asks and Bruce whispers into Alfred's ear. "Agreed. That's definitely not good. If that's truly the case I think Master Bruce should refrain from going in search of Bella."

"This doesn't change anything Alfred. I'm going to help look for her." Bruce replied.

"But Master Bruce..."

"I'm going to help find Bella Alfred end of discussion."

Alfred sighed and nodded "as you wish Master
Bruce."

Ignoring me Sofia turned to Bruce and flashed him a smile. "So, tell me Mr. Wayne, just what is your plan concerning the child upon her safe return?"

"Do you honestly think that after everything you've done that I'd tell you anything? I've got nothing to say to you."

"I don't see why not, I'm only trying to do my job." Sofia replied sweetly and I tried my best not to gag.

"I doubt that your job includes insulting my friend continually nor does it cater to threatening a child. Upon Bella's safe return I'm going to ensure that you are removed from your position. I wouldn't be surprised if you are arrested on charges of child endangerment."

"That is ridiculous. If anyone should be arrested on charges of child endangerment it's your friend over there. After all, the reason the child is still missing is because she refused to provide valuable information concerning her possible whereabouts."

"In fact, as the representative of the GDOCPS I am within my rights to request that your friend be placed under arrest for impeding the investigation of the child's disappearance. Isn't that right Jim darling?"
