Sweet as Cupcakes

"Alice-"

Alice had never heard the Bat falter before, the sound brining a smirk to her lips as she turned to face the Dark Knight. She could see the gears turning in his mind even behind the mask as he truly put two and two together. He was an intelligent man; having his suit built to be able to go between the world's mirror. But even he likely hadn't been quite prepared for what I had been capable of.

But; as much as I wanted to fight, I also knew better and as he started for me I did the only smart thing I had all day. I lowered myselt to the ground, and surendered.

"What is this?"

"Your here because one escaped, you know that. I know this is the definition of evil, and I'm not going to be facing just you but the entirety of the court for what I've done. But; this time, the victim isn't a victim. They weren't just randomly picked, you have to know that as well. Took you a bit longer than I expected to get here but I did some thinking."

"And? What evil are you so afraid of that you're giving up something I know you wanted for a long time."

"Rarity. She escaped. It was my fault, I was going to far, and Sour stooped me. Tch, look at me dropping what I said." Alice shook her head, pushing herself to her hooves. "And yeah, I'm big enough to admit it was my faut that Rarity got away. Dose part of me wish that Sour would have just let me pop her eyes, sure. Dose that mean the fact that Rarity escaped is her fault, no." Alice glared slightly then shook her head. "I used a magic trank; the only way she could have escaped is exactly that. Me drawing her tranked magic to back charge her, then not stopping. She took a piece of my magic, and now she's gone."

"And you think she's going to go after Sour?"

"Oh, heavens no. Not first. Sour isn't her target, I would say her first target will either be Luna or Heart Bright."

"And you think I'm going to let you help?" The Bat narrowed his eyes but made no move to stop the Unicorn. "You're going to Arkham."

"So you don't want me to track her?" Alice tilted her head. "Because you sure aren't arresting me."

"I've worked with rouges before. You are taking me to the court, and your telling you father what you did."

"Which one?" Alice quipped playfully. "But no really, who am I telling?"

The bat tapped a hoof to his chin for a moment then nodded. "Crane."

"Why Crane?"

"Because he's the one who's going to have to deal with you. I don't doubt you'll be made one of his." The Bat let out a heavy sigh as he placed a general power dampener around her neck, before adding a magic dampener to her horn. "And it will be on them to decide if you help, them and my family."

Following the Bat through his own portal, Alice's nerves were buzzing as they headed into the hideout. None of the goons made any move to attack, just whispered amongst themselves as the bat lead the only child to the Professor's study. He wasn't going to be impressed, especially considering the bat had brought along a few of the dresses as evidence.

Silently the Bat slammed the door open, starteling the brown unicorn from his paperwork.

"The least you could-"

"Your child's a cannibal."

"I'm sorry she- what?" Crane faltered, eyes widening as Alice simply chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck. "That's a thing."

"That's not all her and her little gang have been up to I'm afraid. You should gather the court, turns out they are kind of horifying."

"What's horrifying?" Ed asked, heading in from the back. "Alice, what did you do?"

"I kidnaped people, tortured them, removed their cutie marks; let Cap, Doll, and dress have their flesh, then used their meat as my secret ingredient."

The entire room was silent, and Alice's smile quickly faded as two sets of eyes trailed to the trunk that the Bat had brought with them. No one spoke as he set it down, opening it to reveal Dressmaker's creations. The two rouges didn't look long, Ed quickly rushing to get her other two fathers.

"We have already brought in the Cake twins from the Mirror world for questioning, and Nightwing and Red Hood are serching for the other three, but this is rather urgent." Batman reported, nodding to the others as he pulled open a portal. "Rarity has some of her magic, she needs to be stooped before she can kill anyone elce."

"One thing at a time. Gather the court, Alice; no matter what ends up happening, you're doing time."

"I know." Alice nodded, "I get that."

"You don't care." Crane noted, heading into the courthouse. "Why don't you care?"

"What feeling would go with caring here? Really, is there something I should be fealing?"

"Gult. The word your looking for is guilt."
