But let’s make it something:
Not far away from that spot he found Jagged and Marinette, Killer Croc encounters the Batfam.
Like normal he tries to fight them. Because he doesn’t like going back to Arkham.
The fight itself is pretty normal as far as Gotham Rouge vs Batfam goes. Meaning that Croc is starting to lose.
That is until a shout of “What are you doing!?!” followed quickly by one of the batfam getting flipped on their back.
The girl, because the shout came from a girl, rushes past the batfam to Croc.
It is strange enough for everyone fighting to stop, Croc included.
She asks him if he is alright, and Croc is a little dumbfounded. Because, it is the same small girl from before. The one that was petting a crocodile like it was a dog.
He doesn’t answer right away though. His silence has her fretting over him. Checking him all over.
She turns from him to glare at the Batfam. Some even take a step back from her ire.
She starts to yell at them, in what Croc can only assume to be French. Every now and then pointing back at him accusingly each of them of something. Croc still couldn’t understand most of what she said, as most of it was in French.
Once the vigilantes have been properly cowed, she turns to him.
Something tells Croc that he should be scared of her, because who can yell at the Batfam and have THEM back down? But, her kind eyes puts that fear into the back of his mind.
She comes over to him again and grabs his hand hand, pulling him to a standing position. Doing so under her own strength. Which in and of itself is pretty impressive. But, Croc was still to confused from how she yelled at the bats and got away from it to happened to notice.
She tells him that she needs to check his wounds but she needs to get her supplies to do so. Leading him out the alley and back to where he has seen her before.
The rockstar is talking to someone else, who if Croc was honest, looked a little tired of the man’s excessive energy.
Nether the rocker or his manager notice their approach.
That is until the girl, practically right in front of them, calling out “Uncle Jagged, could you watch of my friend while I go get my supplies? He was getting beat up by a group of jerks in an alley way.”
“Sure thing Rockin-Mari,” the man says with out even looking at the pair. “I was just talking to Penny here-”
What ever he was about to say was gone with the wind when he and Penny looked his way.
To say Croc was confused by their reaction would be an understatement.
Jagged, as the girl called him, looks starry-eyed at Croc. Penny just takes a long suffering sigh.
“Crocodile man!” Jagged shouts, getting up close to Croc, “Please tell me how rockin it is to be you.”
Croc is saved from his discomfort with how close Jagged is by Penny, “Jagged, Marinette said he was injured, so you being so bombastic probably isn’t helping any.”
Concern washes over his face, “Oh, right.”
He takes a step back, but he still looks at Croc like he hung the stars.
It doesn’t take long for Marinette to get back with her supplies.
And she makes quick work of him with her first aid box.
Through out it all he can only think one thing.
“Why help me? Don’t you know who I am?”
“I don’t. Should it matter who you are?” She asks in return, “I saw you getting beat up for no reason, and I wanted to get you away from those bullies. Is there any other reason not to help?”
“I’m Killer Croc one of Gotham’s most feared criminals.” He introduces himself. The delivery is so matter of fact, it sounds more accusatory that she wouldn’t know how he is.
She doesn’t seem to care though, “Most feared because of what you have done, or is it because of how you look?”
The look in her eyes when she says that hits something deep within Croc. He isn’t sure what it is.
He doesn’t get the chance before she is waving him down to her level with a soft “Come here.”
She hugs his head in a soft embrace. “It’s alright. It’s alright.”
((That is all I got. But, Please someone add more to this. I really want to see Croc turn away from crime because of this. Maybe Jagged becoming a sponsor for him and/or him, Penny, and Marinette getting a work program for Croc. By the end of it I really just want to see Croc as Jagged’s security, wearing a large jacket and shades that Marinette made for him.))
