Can you make a platonic yandere Killer Croc? I know it sounds weird to be him but he's actually a really cool character with some humanity in him, and I heard crocodiles are some fierce protectors of their young
I LOVE killer croc, and guys we are going to ignore the fact that this is one of my dc ocs storylines ,,, wait now I have to make a master list ⌠NOOOO
Croc first found you when you were a small little thing. Floating on a small homemade raft with only a thin blanket keeping you dry. He was tempted to just let you pass by, he had no moral obligation to help you. Nor did it benefit him in any way. If anything he should take your raggedy blanket so he could try to awkwardly wrap it around his huge body on particularly cold nights. Not like it would really do anything, being cold blooded a simple blanket wonât do much of anything.Â
But something about the way your chubby infant body curled up. Or how the fact that you, a baby, was so quiet just rubbed him the wrong way. So against his better judgment he swam up to you.Â
At first he didnât really know what to do, you were still breathing, thankfully, but you were cold. Unnaturally so. Croc had lived his whole life with this deep relentless chill in his bones. No matter how many covers he stacked on top of himself, or how many warm foods he devoured, it wouldnât leave. Later after learning the difference between cold and warm blooded animals it made sense.Â
Croc was already on his way to soak up the sun on his favorite rock by the shore. If he took you, youâd warm up, maybe he could even find your guardian. His scaly arm reached out to your chubby frame, and hesitantly he picked you up. Careful as could be.Â
A small screech like sound came out of you, Croc was already nervous he fought with himself to not drop you. Slowly your eyes opened, maybe he was prepared for a cry of terror, but the way you looked up at him, curiously but not ridiculing. This was the first time, at least in his memory, that someone had looked at him without fear, or disgust. Not laughing at his odd appearance nor crying at his sharp teeth and super strength.Â
You looked happy, joyful, he didnât know exactly why. Whatâs fun about being abandoned? Pushed into the sewer to presumably die. But here you were, so young, so cold, but not giving up hope.
Where was your family? Mothers donât usually leave their young unattended. Not like he had any experience with that, his mother dying to birth a freak like him. You were abandoned like him, no mother or father, no mean aunt to make your life hell.
Maybe it was the look in your eyes, or his endless loneliness, but right then as he swam to his favorite rock, with you cradled up against his chest, Killer Croc decided that he would be your family. That he would give you the life you deserve.
Ten Years had passed since then, you had grown up wonderfully. Croc had feared that raising a baby in the dark sewers would stunt its growth. Of course he had been wrong, kind of.
At first you were getting sick all the time, waste and toxic fumes didnât mix well with a child. But as months passed you seemed to get better. Croc assumed that the constant toxins helped grow your immune system. Then after that everything changed.Â
You went from a baby to a toddler, quickly he learned that you enjoyed swimming like him, you were playful and talkative. Just a plain joy to be around. Then from toddler to child, oh how you made him complete. He adored you, teaching you, playing with you. You were his joy, his reason to keep going, well you and revenge, but you more so.Â
As you grew older your need to explore increased. No longer was wandering around the endless tunnels of the Gotham sewer system enough for you. You constantly whined and begged to go out, wanting to walk around the streets of Gotham. Something about the thought of you outside and out of his territory tugged on an instinct deep in Crocâs biology. An instinct to keep you safe and in his nest. It was too dangerous out there for you, his child.Â
Every night he'd tell you stories of the world above, heâd tell you about the criminals and of The Bat. But nothing he would say would stop your curiosity.Â
And that led you to now, watching his breath grow slow as he sunbathed on his favorite rock. It was getting colder, winter was sure to come soon. Whenever it gets too cold papa Croc plans extra trips to sun rock, and napped all day. You remember it being annoying when you were younger it used to annoy you to no end on how your papa slept all day, but now it was the perfect escape.
You giggled inwardly as you unwrapped his claws that rested around your belly. Slowly you slipped to the edge of the rock before plopping into the sea water. Your plan was mainly to explore the city above but you also wanted to find something for him. A gift of sorts.
Softly you padded to the shore, careful not to make enough noise to wake Croc. Finally you reached a small messy cove, you were still a fair good distance from the big city but you hoped one of the cars youâve read about would show up.Â
hands shaking with excitement you patted down your tattered clothes. Step by step you walked to the road, stopping just short of the black river. Hesitantly you reach your hand out making the shape of a thumbs up like you learned about in your book.Â
You stood there for a while waiting for someone to see you and unfortunately no car was around. So you sat waiting, for what seemed to be in your child mind, hours.Â
Finally you spotted a sleek black car approaching, quickly you stood up jumping in joy, finally you could go to the city! If this timing kept up you would still be sitting here waiting by the time Croc woke up.Â
The car slowed before stopping a few feet away from you. Bounding over your practically vibrating with excitement. It was time! To see the city! And youâll prove to papa Croc that thereâs no overgrown bat! Then you two can visit the city together.
The door to the car opened and a confused man stepped out, he was tall (not taller than papa though). He bent down looking you over before he softly spoke, âare you lost?â He askedÂ
You giggle of course, you weren't lost, you just needed a ride to the big city. âNo Iâm not,â you smiled, âIâm a hitchhiker,â you said matter of fact.Â
You paused reading his expression, âcan you take me to Gotham?â You finally ask.
The man looked you over before nodding slightly. âWhere do you want to go,â he asked.Â
âUmmâ the libraryâŚ?â You didnât get that far oops.
âWhereâs your family?â He asked looking at you over again, man, how many times is he going to do that?
âUh, they're at the library,â you lie, poorly. The guy doesnât look convinced but leads you to the back seat. Finally he starts the car and you're on your way.
 A soft click rang throughout the car.Â
You smile excited at the passing scenery, you count the green markers out loud as they pass. The guy thankfully doesnât seem to mind, too busy focusing on the road you assume. Time passes your up to 27 markers when you finally see the city, itâs still somewhat far away but you could see it! Wiggling in your spot you turn your attention back to the road.
âSo why do you want to go to Gotham?â The man asks, looking at you through the rearview mirror.Â
âUh, well Iâve never been,â a nice simple answer good job you!Â
âMm, why were you on the side of the road?â He hummed looking back at the road then back at you.Â
âI got lost..â You smile wonkyly.
He paused before asking âAre you hungry?âÂ
You hesitantly nodded your head. The guy smiled at that and pulled over to a restaurant you didnât notice before. He pulled into the driveway and ordered a âbat-miteâ whatever that was. He reached back to hand you whatever he picked for you but paused.
âWhen was the last time you ate?â He asked.
What an odd question, you think, but answer him honestly, âuh last night I think? Papa couldnât find anything for breakfast.âÂ
He hummed at that. âYour papa, is he nice?âÂ
âHeâs the best! Heâs napping right now so I snuck out,â you say happily, âhe likes to nap for hours when it gets cold out so I just decided to sneak out. Iâve never been to the city so I was hoping to explore it!â You ramble. The man seemed content, just listening to you.
âYour dad, whatâs his name?â
You go quiet, before answering his question honestly. âHe says Iâm not allowed to say, he has a bunch of enemies.âÂ
Thankfully the guy didnât seem too upset about your answer.
âThatâs fair,â he hummed, âwell my name's Dick whatâs yours?â
You pause briefly before answering him, papa Croc never said anything about telling them your name. The guyâDick, seemed pleased with your answer and continued to drive towards Gotham.
It took 13 more green markers to reach Gotham and then a small drive around the city to reach the library. You finished scarfing down the food he gave you a while ago and now you are folding it over and over in boredom. Looking out the window and to the city you are greeted with the beautiful sight of a big building, the library you are assuming. You note the sky is turning darker. Croc will likely wake up in an hour or two. Thankfully all you needed to do to get back is hop in the nearest manhole.Â
Anyways the main thing is that you have about an hour to explore the city, find something for papa Croc and leave. Easy.
âAll right, well weâre here,â Dick mused, âshall I wait for you to find your family?âÂ
âNo! Noâ itâs okay!â You replied unbuckling your seatbelt. âThanks for the ride.â You quickly rush out of the car failing to see the serious look on Dicks face and how he reached for a secret compartment.
For now youâll stay in the library. Books and sewer water donât really mix, but Croc had brought back a few on occasion. You adored reading and books. At first Croc had been a little hesitant to teach you how to read but after finding a car manual in a washed up car you begged him to teach you. And with that came your obsession with books.Â
You took your time picking out a few books with interesting covers. But upon the realization, it wouldnât be practical carrying them around with you. You settle for one. Thankfully the black car was gone so you continued your adventure.Â
It was getting really dark, and fast, but you just couldnât stop. Everything was so new and exciting you couldnât look away. You still had to find something for Croc. possibly something soft, like your blanket, but that he can be able to hold. Mainly so he doesnât have to cuddle you in a death grip all night.Â
Blindly you walk into an alleyway, hoping to find something, anything really. You were starting to give up hope, and at this point you were looking for a more discrete manhole so you could slip in. Yes, maybe your trip would be for nothing but hey that means you can sneak out again.
Behind you something heavy drops from the sky, cautiously you turn around. Only to see the very thing that papa Croc warned you about, The Bat. Your breath picks up and you freeze. How could you forget about this? Quickly you shriek hoping to confuse the monster and then you dart.Â
The streets are difficult to navigate, especially it being your first time in the city, but still your zigzag motion and the random turns seemed to help you lose it. You need to find a manhole, now.Â
You run for a good bit, still making random turns but finally you find a good spot to rest if only for a moment. Looking out at the street you notice what youâve been looking for. Hesitantly, you stepped out away from the sweet cover of the alleyway and onto the open road.Â
No cars or people seemed to be here. Something about that made you feel off but you had no time to think.Â
Crouching down above the manhole you wiggle your fingers through the gaps, pulling as hard as you can. It barely went an inch. Still you try harder, all your adrenalin going into your arms.
âYou need help with that?â A manâs voice asked. Quickly you snap your head up, it wasnât The Bat, thank god. But he was in some weird blue and black suit.Â
âCan you help me,â you jump to your feet moving closer to him, âThe Bats after me!âÂ
âYeah! My papa warned me about him.â You shift your eyes left and right, making sure The Bat wasnât close. âCan you please lift that?â You said pointing slightly at the manhole.
âItâs dangerous down there, how about I take you to the police, they should help you find your papa.â
âNoâ! I need to get down there!â
âShh, hey itâs okay.â He placed his hand on your shoulder, âlet me take you to the police.â
âNo! Let me go!â You shrug his hand off and prepare to bolt. He doesnât let you. âStop! Let me go.â You struggle fruitlessly.
A thud sounds behind you, it must be The Bat here to finish you off. To think you trusted this man to help you. Tears start to well up in your eyes as you continue to struggle. Helplessly you call out to Croc, hoping he's already up and looking for you.
You didnât have to yell for long though, Croc's wide frame came bursting through the road. You felt the manâs grip on you tighten but all you cared about was getting to Croc.
Croc on the other hand was staring down your attackers, deep growls flowed through every breath. His eyes honed in on you, checking for any wounds or blemishes. noticing you look fine except for now freely flowing tears. His body still tense, seemed to calm down slightly.
The Bat, noticing this interaction, spoke, âNightwing, let them go.â He commanded. The guyâ Nightwing looked conflicted, but loosened his grip.Â
As soon as Nightwing did, you darted towards Croc, hiding behind him. You dropped your book at Nightwings feet but it was too late to care. Croc was still on guard but with you closer he edged back towards the now giant hole in the road. Ready to snap if anyone got closer.
No one did, thankfully. So he grabbed you and jumped into the sewers.
Dick looked ready to jump in and follow you, one look from
Bruce made him stay put. âAre we really going to let him take them?â He spat.Â
âWell, Killer Croc has been M.I.A and I think we found out why.â Bruce sighed before grappling away. Dick followed behind him. âWas that the runaway you found?â Bruce asked after a while.
âYeah,â Dick murmured. âDo you think this will be a problem?â He asked after a long pause.
âMm, unless that kid keeps up their rebellious phase I think weâll be fine.â
Deep in the sewers at your shared nest Croc looked angry. He was glaring at nothing and huffing. You were still buried in his claws tightly resting against his chest.
âIâm sorry,â You mutter trying to calm him down, if only slightly.
He didnât respond, but you could feel him shift his head reaching down towards your neck pausing against it. You felt his hot breath as his mouth hovered above your jugular before it snapped shut, to close for comfort. Instead you heard him sniff your hair.
âIâm sorry,â you repeated, more startled.Â
With His head buried in your locks Corc hummed. His claws wrap around your knees and chest, keeping you pinned. A deep growl rang out, this time less angry but it still was a warning.
You wonât leave him again. Not if he can help itÂ
