Prompt: How did your OC become a villain?
Have a little story on how Henry became involved! Also tagging since I am late @dc-oc-week

"I want to be the Mad Hatter." said Henry.
This one line made Jervis spat out his tea before devolving into a coughing fit.
"W-What?!" asked Jervis. "Do you understand what you're asking? Do you not see the news about my escapades against that confounded bat?"
"Yeah, and I want to be the Mad Hatter. Teach me how to control people like you do." said Henry.
Jervis stammered, his words stuck in his throat. Henry took this opportunity to continue.
"I can be a good lackey, I mean I have no one else to turn to and no one really knows I exist. Plus, I proved myself helping you out in stopping Batman and that nerdy boy wonder." said Henry.
This gave Jervis a pause. This little boy, Henry Maddox as he calls himself, was asking to become a rouge just like him.
Ever since he found him at the railroad yard while trying to escape the accursed Batman and his sidekick, he was nothing but helpful if a bit vicious. Henry was more than happy to lead the duo into the path of an oncoming train.
But it was strange to see a young boy so willing to throw away his chance of normalcy to be part of the rogues gallery. But then again, when Jervis did find him huddling alone in that train car, the boy instantly latched onto him like a bug.
"Are you sure that is what you want? Once you join, you can never be back to your normal life." said Jervis.
"What normal life? I was basically left to fend for myself with no home, no family, and no one to call a friend." said Henry. "At least if I'm a rogue, I get to be with you.
Jervis thought for a moment before nodding.
"Alright, you win. You can follow me to Wonderland, but would you be so willing to take the last name, 'Tetch'?" asked Jervis.
"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!" said Henry M. Tetch before hugging him.
