Summary:
When Alice got back from Wonderland, she could not stop talking about it. The stories of it overtook her life and her studies. Her parents, not knowing what to do with her, decided to send her away to school so that everyone could have a break from her incessant stories.
Alice is now 12 and not quite sure why she's been sent away, being told only that it was for her education. Here she finds something odd reflected in a mirror and wanders through the looking glass back into Wonderland, only to find it's been horribly changed and much darker than it once was. She meets with the Hatter and the Cheshire Cat who tell her that a dark force has taken over Wonderland and is moving. Alice offers her help.

Universe:
Lucena Academy is a large, elaborate private boarding school for only the wealthiest of families. The grounds are expansive and they offer several extracurricular activities and clubs for students to participate in when they are not in classes.
Wonderland is not quite the cheery place that Alice remembered.

Inspiration:
This came mostly from the acquisition of Marvel by Disney. During a series of drabbles (Yes, word used incorrectly), I converted Alice into a version of Dr. Strange. I liked the premise so much I actually started writing it, incorporating more and more public domain characters into it.
Notes:
There are so many planned crossovers and how things work out should be fairly entertaining. Actually, I should find out what happens at the end.
