A car pulled up at quarter to five. Alfred knew it would be
the person Barbara said would be coming, the admissions person. Alfred was
so excited to be able to help Barbara in this way. This "Criminal Psychology
program" sounded perfect for Barbara. He was glad to see her continuing
on with her education. He had feared she had been in sort of a "rut"
since Dick left. Always security minded, Alfred checked the door's peek hole before opening it. He saw a limo in the driveway, with an older gentleman driving. Alfred's vision wasn't what it once was, but the driver looked an awful lot like Arliss Hothwait. He |
| dismissed that idea as the man opened the back door to let
the passenger out. It was certainly not Arliss' employer Dr. Mendelson,
it was a tall, well dressed woman. The woman approached the door with a sultry, confident gait. Alfred found himself enjoying watching her move. As her face came into the light, he could tell she was absolutely beautiful. He opened the door, "Hello Madam, welcome to Wayne Manor, I am Alfred Pennyworth", he said as she came in. Even Chase was awestruck by the opulence of the |
 |
 |
Wayne foyer as she glanced around while Alfred
shut the door. "I'm Dr. Chase Meredith. I'm a member of the University Psychology Special Projects Admissions Committee", she said, extending her hand. "Yes Barbara mentioned you would be coming by, I'm so happy I could be of assistance" "Yes, well I'm sorry to come so late in the day, but I was booked solid with appointments" "Ahh, students in need of a little extra tutelage? And, can I offer you a beverage?", he asked. "No, I'm quite fine, thank you, and no, I'm not a professor. I have my own private practice. I just sit on |
|
the University board as a way to give back to the community" |
| "Actually, I have found an innate submissive side. You seem to be attracted
to serving those in power … I mean 'you' in the collective sense of course",
Chase told him. "Of Course", he answered, a little uneasy after hearing something out loud that he though no one would ever reveal about him. "For instance, when you refer to your boss, you referred to probably refer to him as 'Master Bruce'. You have served him well over the years, I'm sure he would be fine with you address him as just 'Bruce', but that's not how you want it. It's not how you want to refer to someone of such power, prestige and wealth" "Well it wasn't just the money Madam:, he interrupted, as |
 |
| he was beginning to get defensive. "Oh no, I agree, it isn't just money. There are many different ways in which someone can have power, for instance, a beautiful woman can have a sexual power over men…" "I'm afraid I don't understand Madam", the butler said sheepishly. "I think you do", Chase laughed, staring right in his eyes, "I think you want to hear me tell you more about it. You want me to keep talking so that you can look me right in the eyes, deep into my beautiful eyes, and hear my voice, my velvet voice. I know that I am very beautiful, and I know that gives me a great deal of power over some people, people like you. Men who need to be submissive to someone in power. |
 |
But the sexual power that I have is different
than the power you are used to serving. My power plays on your repressed
sexual needs. Your need to be controlled, your need to be ordered, your
need to service. My power is the greatest power you have ever come into
contact with, and I will let you serve me. I will make you mine…" "I-I don't understand…I-I", he protested. "You do understand, you understand that I understand you. I understand your need to be controlled and I am going to satisfy that need. I am a master hypnotist, and I have already put you into a trance state. There is nothing you can do to resist now. You don't want to resist now, because the more you let my velvet voice coax you into |
| submission, the deeper you fall under my spell. The more you
let yourself get lost in my eyes, deeper you fall under my spell. The more
aroused you become from my sexual energy, the more you feel under my spell.
Now, as I count down from ten, you will fall deeper and deeper into a state
of complete submission, a state of complete hypnosis.", she told him.
She quickly counted from ten to one, and it was obvious there was no way he could fight her. As she reached one, Alfred Pennyworth's allegiance shifted away from Bruce Wayne for the first time ever. He was now dedicated to Dr. Chase Meredith. |

Later that evening, as Barbara was doing some
housework, Chase filled Barbara in on the afternoon's happenings at the
Wayne Manor. "So he's yours now?", Barbara asked, referring to Alfred. "Completely", Chase answered confidently. "Was he hard to take?" "Hardly. I didn't even use much of an induction. I basically just looked into his eyes, told him I was a master hypnotist, then spoke to him very dominantly" "It's amazing that you can do that to people" "Most people are so easy to control." "How long have you known you've been able to do this?" "All my life really. I was always able to manipulate things to be the way I wanted them. I always ended up getting whatever I wanted. It was in junior high school that I first learned about hypnosis. I studied it incessantly, night and day. I used it for the first time in the last week of September, my freshman year. I was always beautiful, so the boys were always nice to me. But I wanted them to be more than nice, I wanted them to be obedient, to be obsessed. I took the first three weeks in the high school to get the lay of the land, figure out who was who. I picked my study partner, David Berlman as my first |
| he was a very popular freshman, but it was his
quarterback senior brother that I really wanted. Anyway, one day David and
I were in my backyard. I asked him to push me on this big tireswing that
my father had set up for me when I was a girl. I used myself on the swing
as a pendulum to focus David's attention, like a swinging watch. I used
a lot of back and forth, back and forth, type inductions, and it worked
perfectly. I used David as my slave for the remaining four years of high
school. I always made sure that I had the most popular boys doing my bidding.
College was more of the same, but it was there that I started mixing crime in with my abilities. I'd go into banks in the middle of the day. Find a male teller, and quickly induce a trance. He'd empty his drawer, and I'd leave with out even a hint of something afoul. I could induce in less than two minutes, especially with young tellers just out of school, or older gentlemen who were retired from their main jobs.", Chase told Barbara who was enraptured by the biography I used the money from the bank jobs to set myself up in my clinical practice. I accepted only the most affluent of clients. My clients became my sales force. After a few sessions with me, they would be actively soliciting their other rich friends to come and see me. In |
 |
| fact, that is how I'm planning to get Bruce.", Chase said, then saw
the time. "It's getting late. I told Batman to come here at nine, as usual. I want to freshen up first though. Barbara, your cleaning is done for the evening. Go draw me a bath", Chase commanded. "Right away", Barbara obeyed. Chase liked to be clean and fresh for her encounters with Batman. |
| Batman arrived at nine on the nose, just as he had been the
last few nights. "Mmmm, don't you look nice tonight", Mesmera flirted. "You are beautiful as always", returned Batman "You are so sweet." "Mistress, may I stay with you this evening?" :"No my pet, not yet. I can't be sure what would happen when that suit came off you. We won't have to wait much longer though. In fact, I'm going to start the last part of my plan tonight." "What do you want me to do tonight?", Batman asked. He was becoming more dependent on her commands. |
 |
 |
"You've been doing a marvelous job of fighting crime
in front of the cameras. Keep it up this evening. In a few days, you'll
be out of commission for a while, so we want to have you be seen while we
can." "What about Two-Face?" "That's too much for you to take on right now, too much stress. Don't worry about Two-Face for now. Take down some small timers, purse snatchers, car jackers, that sort of thing." "Is there anything I can do to help with the last part of your plan?" "As a matter of fact, there is. Close your eyes and count |
| down from ten", Mesmera instructed. Batman did so. As he counted, Mesmera used an induction to open up his subconscious. "Now Batman, your subconscious mind hears and obeys all of my commands, but your conscious mind is aware of nothing. Tonight when you return to Wayne Manor, when you take off your suit and become Bruce Wayne again, you will go right to bed, and go to sleep. You will have terrible nightmares. Nightmares you can't shake when you awake. You, as Bruce, will not be able to ignore the feeling of being out of control, and needing desperately to find some way to regain some control in your life. Jim Gordon is someone you |
 |
 |
can turn to for advice. You'll remember that he told you he
felt like this once. You'll call him. You'll want to take his advice on
how to overcome your problems. You'll want to get 'fixed' right away. Do
you understand?" Batman nodded yes. "Good, now count up from one to ten", Mesmera instructed. She gave him another of her hypnotic kisses, then sent him off to protect the city. She had Barbara summon her father. Mesmera programmed him with the instructions he would need for tomorrow. Tomorrow was the day that Bruce Wayne would start his therapy sessions with Dr. Chase Meredith! |
