It was midnight over the gleaming city of Gotham City that shone like a beacon of hope even though it really wasn't.

Meanwhile in the Gotham docks, in a warehouse stood Two-Face in his black and white suit with a revolver in one hand and his coin in the other which he turned around in his fingers. Two-Face stood in front of three people, a man who looked to be in his 40s, a woman who looked to be in her 40s as well and a boy who looked to be 10. They were all tied up to chairs.

“Well I'm sorry for bringing you here Mr Black" Two-Face said as he walked up to Mr Black.

Mr Black was wearing a black suit with a red tie. He snarled at Two-Face and then said threateningly “you won't get away with this Harvey, as the new elected District Attorney I will-" he was cut off when Two-Face backhanded his face.

“SHUT UP!" Two-Face yelled “I'm not Harvey any more only Two-Face."

Mrs Black who was trembling said “What do you want?!" she wore a Doctors coat. Two-Face grabbed her by the throat squeezing it enough to make it hurt.

“I want BATMAN!!!" he yelled with anger in his voice. Then he let got of her and turned his back to them while saying “he is the one person I want dead and then only THEN!! can I rest in peace."

“Your mad Dent!" Mr Black began “we all know that it was Carmine Falcone that made you what you-" he was cut off again when Two-Face spun around and thrusted the barrel of his revolver into his forehead.

“NO!!!" Two-Face screamed “don't call me MAD!! I know it was Falcone but I got rid of that parasite and now it's Batman that I want. He has been getting in my way for a long time but this time I will kill him. And you are the perfect bait."

“Batman will always beat you" a young voice said, Two-Face looked over to the voice and saw the young boy looking at him with a determination.

“Oh yeah?" Two-Face said as he marched over to the boy and put the barrel of his gun under the boys chin and made him look up at him “and who might you be?" he asked softly.

“I-I-I'm J-J-Jonathan." Jonathan stuttered out.

Two-Face smiled and crouched down to him “well Jonathan" he said softly “let me open you're eye's a little" with that he slapped Jonathan and kicked his chair so hard that Jonathan toppled over and landed on his back as Two-Face shouted “BATMAN WON'T BEAT ME THIS TIME!!"

“Harvey leave my son out of this!" Mr Black shouted as he wriggled in his chair trying to get free but the ropes held firm.

“Now whilst we wait" Two-Face said ignoring Mr Black, he held up his coin “shall we gamble with death"

“Don't you dare" Mr Black said in a low tone.

Two-Face pointed his gun at Jonathan “first your son" he said with an evil smile.

“No...NOOOOO!" Mr Black screamed “don't you dare!"

But Two-Face ignored him and flicked the coin into the air, the coin spun in the air before soon, falling back down into his palm. Two-Face looked at the coin and saw it was the good side “you're lucky Jon" he said with a smile before pointing his gun at Mrs Blacks head.

“Stop it!" Mr Black shouted.

But Two-Face just ignored him and flipped the coin, it spun in the air before landing back down on his palm. He looked at the coin and saw it was the bad side “what a shame" with that he pulled the trigger and a shot rang out into the empty warehouse. Mrs Blacks body fell limp as a trickle of blood rolled down her forehead.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Jonathan screamed as tears fell down his cheeks and he began to cry.

“YOU BASTARD HARVEY!!" Mr Black yelled.

“Its TWO-FACE!!" Two-Face shouted as he pointed his gun at Mr Black “now your turn" but before he could toss his coin a dark figure tackled him, both Two-Face and the figure flew into some boxes, breaking them on impact.

Two-Face groaned as the black figure stood up and both Mr black and his son Jon knew who it was. Batman.

“Stop this Harvey, you've done enough damage" Batman said.

“Oh have I now" Two-Face growled as he stood up and dusted himself off “do you think you have done enough to me Batman?"

“You need help Harvey" Batman said calmly.

“I'm not crazy and for the last time I...AM...TWO-FACE!!!" Two-Face yelled as he pointed his gun at Batman but as he fired Batman ducked and hit the gun out of his hand which clattered to the floor. The bullet flew past Mr Blacks head and hit a couple of propane tanks in the corner of the warehouse which exploded.

The whole place lit up as an orange flame spurted out with pieces of metal flying in all directions. Two-Face and Batman stopped for a second before going back to fighting each other.

Meanwhile Jon saw a piece of glass not far away from him 'I need to get free' he thought to himself. He rolled onto his side and thrusted forward with all his weight and the chair moved and inch.

Jon kept on doing this until he was right on top of it then rolled onto his back. His hands behind him felt around for the shard before long he found it 'yes' he thought as he smiled and then started to cut through the ropes.

Meanwhile Two-Face threw Batman into some barrels which fell on top of him, Batman grunted as he was pinned down by the heavy barrels.

“Now you stay there" Two-Face said as he went and grabbed his revolver before turning back to Batman “I have a D.A. and his son to deal with" as he said that he heard a grunt and looked over to see that Jon had freed himself and was now untangling himself from the ropes.

As soon as Jon got to his feet he felt a hand wrap around the back of his neck, he gasp with surprise and dropped his glass shard and grabbed onto the hand holding onto his neck.

“Let go of me!" Jon screamed as he tried to get free from Two-Faces grasp but to no avail.

“Let go of him Harvey" a voice said behind them and Two-Face spun around to see Batman standing in front of him.

“Not until you die, then I'll at least let the kid go" Two-Face said through his teeth as he pointed his gun at Batman again but Batman kicked it out of his hand. Batman then threw a punch at Two-Face but Two-Face caught his fist and kicked him back.

Two-Face knew he didn't have enough time to grab his gun so he ran out of the warehouse dragging Jon with him.

“JONATHAN!" Mr Black cried out as he saw his son being dragged away by Two-Face.

“Don't worry Mr Black I'll save your son" Batman said as he ran after them.

“Let go of me you Two-Faced freak" Jon said as he was trying to loosen Two-Faces grip on his neck.

“Not a chance kid" Two-Face said as they both went up to the stairs that led to the roof of the warehouse.

“I will kill you Two-Face" Jon said with anger.

“You know your father would tell you that's not right" Two-Face mocked when they were on the roof.

“Screw him!" Jon yelled “thinking that Justice or whatever is the best way, well, you killed my mother and I won't stop until I find a way to kill you"

Two-Face laughed as he dragged Jon over to the edge of the warehouse “now your beginning to talk like me kid, you'd make a great villain."

“Screw you" Jon said.

Two-Face let go of his neck and pushed him over, Jon gasped as he was about to fall but Two-Face grabbed his wrist. Now with his hand being gripped by Two-Face and one foot on the ground, it was then that Jon knew, his life was in Two-Faces hands, he was completely helpless.

“Let him go" Batman said as he got to the top of the stairs and saw Two-Face holding Jon over the side of the warehouse.

“Poor choice of words Batman" Two-Face said with an evil smile “but I'm a man who plays fairly so what say we flip for it?" Two-Face dug into his pocket and brought out his coin “good side he lives, bad side a watery grave" then he tossed the coin in the air.

“NO!" Batman shouted as he ran towards them but it was too late coin fell back into Two-Faces hand and his smile grew bigger when he saw the face that was looking up at him.

Two-Face let go of Jon and Jon screamed as he fell towards the water below him. Batman went to dive after Jon but Two-Face grabbed him by his cape and threw him back.

“Face it Batman" Two-Face said as he brought out a knife “you can't save everyone."

As Batman stood up Two-Face ran at him, he lunged at Batman but Batman dodged his attack and hit the knife out of his hand then elbowed Two-Face in the face. Two-Face grunted in pain as he held his face, Batman grabbed Two-Face by his suit jacket and threw him to the ground. Two-Face rolled on the ground until he rolled onto a skylight.

“Why...can't...you...just...die" Two-Face muttered as he got onto his hands and knees but then he heard a cracking noise and saw that the skylight was breaking underneath him.

“Oh shi-" but he never managed to finish his sentence as the glass below him broke and he fell.

Two-Face landed into some chains which were hanging from the ceiling and he got tangled up in them, no matter how hard he thrashed he could not get free and before he knew it ten police cars with their sirens blaring pulled up outside the warehouse. Before long twenty police officers came running into the warehouse with Commissioner Gordon.

“There he is" Gordon said as he pointed up at Two-Face “get him down." A couple of officers nodded and ran to Two-Face.

“Hey Commissioner!" Mr Black yelled which caught Gordon's attension.

“Delton Black" Gordon said as he rushed over and untied Delton “are you alright?"

“No I'm not" Delton said angrily as he rubbed his wrists “my wife is dead and my son was taken by Two-Face."

“Well we have Two-Face so maybe Batman is bringing your son" Gordon said.

“I sure hope so" Delton muttered. Then he saw Batman walking up to him.

Delton at first brightened up but then saw that Jon wasn't with him. Dread filled him but he still asked when Batman was in front of him.

“Well?" he asked.

Batman looked down and said “I'm sorry, I tried to stop Harvey but he threw him off the warehouse."

Delton just stood there, not moving a muscle, his left eye twitching and they began to water. Delton turned his back to Batman and tried to fight back the tears.

“Delton...I'm sorry" Batman said softly as he placed a hand on Delton shoulder.

Delton spun around and smacked Batmans hand away as he shouted “SORRY?!" The whole warehouse fell silent as every officer turned to stare at them.

“My wife is dead because of a psychopath, my son was taken by that psychopath and now he is dead because of YOU" Delton thrusted a finger into Batmans chest.

“Delton I-" Batman began to so say but Delton cut him off.

“You don't have the privilege to call me Delton any more." Delton then straightened his tie as he said “you maybe a hero to this city but you are no hero of mine."

Batman looked down at his feet and said “I'm sorry."

“Sorry won't bring my son back IF he is still alive" Delton said then he turned to Gordon “Commissioner would you have Batman escorted off the premisses."

“There is no need" Batman said “I'll see myself out." And with that he walked out the building passing Deltons wife who was being zipped up in a body bag.

Meanwhile Delton turned to look at Gordon and said “I want every available officer looking for my son, even if he's dead I need his body as proof."

“Yes Delton we will find your son" Gordon said and walked away to talk to some other officers.

Jon gasped for air as he sat up, he looked around and saw that he was on a beach on the outskirts of Gotham City. He stood up and looked over himself, his clothes were damp from the water.

“This is Impossible" Jon said to himself “I should be dead."

Then Jon could hear the sound of running water and he looked to his right and saw a large sewage tunnel.

“Perhaps I could use the sewage tunnel to find a way back home or something" Jon muttered.

Jon went over to the sewage tunnel and climbed inside and began his journey through the sewers.

An hour later and Jon was already regretting his decision.

“Oh great idea Jon you really do get yourself into sticky situations" Jon said to himself sounding annoyed “you just had to go and explore these endless sewage passages." Jon heard a squeak and then a scuttling sound, he looked down at his feet and saw a rat. Jon shrieked and kicked the rat which flew into the deep long passage.

“Great now I have to deal with rats and I HATE rats!" Jon said as he kept on trudging through the slime like water, hugging himself as he felt cold.

“Still" Jon said as he came to a fork in the road or sewage tunnels in this case “could be worse."

“Oh I beg to differ" a deep voice echoed through the tunnels. Jon's eyes shot up and looked down one of the three sewage tunnels that were in front of him and two his horror he saw two glowing yellow eyes in the left tunnel.

Jon stood stood there frozen with fear as the two yellow eyes got closer and soon stepped into the light that shone above them.

Jon gasped as he saw a ginormous scaly crocodile like man towering over him. The only clothing Jon saw was some orange tattered trousers and nothing else, he saw how muscly he was with a scaly six-pack and large muscly biceps.

“Killer Croc" Jon muttered as he stood there, shaking like a leaf.

Killer Croc smiled showing all his yellow teeth and said “the one and only" then he bent down towards Jon who backed up against the wall. Killer Croc's face was so close to Jon's that Jon could smell his breath, it reeked of rotting meat and made it hard not to gag.

“You look lost kid" Killer Croc crooned with his smile not depleting.

“P-p-p-please" Jon stuttered as he looked away and shut his eyes “don't eat me."

Killer Croc straightened up to his towering height and laughed before saying “well since you asked politely I won't."

“Really?" Jon asked uncertain.

Killer Croc looked down at with an evil smile “of course I'm going to eat you because-" as right on cue Jon heard his stomach rumble “I haven't eaten in a while."

Jon's eyes widened and he started to shake even more, he felt as if he was about to collapse. Killer Croc bent down to him.

“But lets make this interesting" he whispered then the words he said next made Jon more afraid then ever.

“Run" Killer Croc whispered and Jon did as he was told and sprinted down the one of the tunnels, hearing Croc's demonic laughter echo behind him.

Jon ran down the tunnel with the sound of heavy footsteps behind him. Hearing the footsteps made him panic even more as ran through the maze of sewage tunnels turning left and right, trying to lose the beast chasing him and find a way out.

Jon took a left and had his back against the wall catching his breath. He looked round the corner to see if Killer Croc had followed him. He couldn't see anybody, Jon leaned against the wall again giving a sigh of relief and let out a small giggle. 'I think I lost him' Jon thought to himself, he peaked round the corner and to his horror Killer Croc's face was inches away from his.

“Boo" Killer Croc said with a smile. Jon screamed in terror before fainting.

Killer Croc shook his head in amusement before muttering “kids." He bent down and picked up Jon by his ankle, dangling him upside-down.

“Whelp it's been fun kid" Killer Croc said as he licked his lips “but its down the hatch." Killer Croc dangled Jon over his head and opened his mouth ready to take Jon in but before he could proceed he had a flashback.

It was when he was a boy and his aunt would abuse him and called him names all because he had a rare genetic condition that gave him his crocodilian appearance. He remembered the pain he endured thanks to that witch. He was glad when he killed her but afterwards he felt so alone. Sure he was alone before but he felt even more alone.

His vision changed back to him in the sewer with Jon dangling over his open mouth. Kill Croc closed his mouth and sighed, he lowered Jon and held him in his arms. In a way Jon remembered him of his younger self, being alone.

“What am I doing" Killer Croc said to himself “I'll more of a monster if I eat this kid than I am already." Killer Croc looked down at Jon who was in his arms, his head leaning against his body.

Killer Croc smiled as he walked down the tunnel with Jon in his arms and for the first time in Croc's life he felt something he never felt before...happy.

Jon woke up on a old broken bed, he looked around and saw he was in an old messy apartment.

“What?" Jon said confused as he looked over his body “I thought I would have been dead by now."

Jon got up and went to a window to look out. He saw the street below but it was completely deserted. 'Is this the abandoned part of the city?' thought Jon but he didn't have time to think any more for he heard heavy footsteps coming towards his door.

The door opened and Killer Croc squeezed through the door frame since he was much bigger than it.

Jon gasped and backed up against the wall shaking with fear. Killer Croc looked at him and smiled, to Jon's surprise it wasn't a evil smile, more of a kind smile.

“Oh good your awake, you've been out for hours" Killer Croc said.

Jon didn't say anything, he just stood there shaking.

“Relax kid" Killer Croc said holding up his hands in surrender “I'm not gonna eat you. Plus I ate an hour ago."

Jon sighed with relief and relaxed a bit. Killer Croc walked up to him and asked “you hungry?" to which Jon nodded.

Killer Croc dug into his left pocket of his trousers and brought out a chocolate bar and handed it to Jon. At first Jon was hesitant but then took the bar.

“Thanks" Jon said as he ripped the bar open and took a bite of the chocolate.

“No problem" Killer Croc said. There was an awkward silence between the two until Killer Croc broke the silence “hey listen kid" he said as he rubbed the back of his head “I know that we got off to a wrong start but I want to say that I'm sorry for scaring you."

“Yeah, I mean how come you haven't eaten me" Jon asked as he finished off his little snack.

“Lets just say that I had a change of heart" Killer Croc said.

“Oh...ok" Jon said confused.

Then without no warning at all Killer Croc let out a massive belch and as he did a skull flew out of his mouth and clattered to the floor near Jon's feet, covered in saliva and had patches of flesh still on it.

“Sorry" Killer Croc said as he covered him mouth with his hand and let out a smaller belch.

“You ate someone!?" Jon asked in surprise and horror.

“Yeah and why the surprised face" Killer Croc said as he turned and went over to the bed while saying “I thought you would know by now that I eat people."

As he sat down he said “sometimes innocent, sometimes not."

He leaned back and said “I love swallowing them whole it's rather entertaining when they squirm in my belly" he patted his belly as it gave off a large gurgle.

“Of course the only down side is when I'm finished with them I have to...you know" Killer Croc made a fart sound with his mouth before saying “their bones."

Jon screwed up his face and closed his eye's and trying not to picture it while saying “TMI man."

“Yeah sorry that was a bit TOO descriptive" Killer Croc said as he crossed one leg over the other.

“What about this guy?" Jon asked as he tapped the skull with his foot “was this guy innocent?"

“Nah" Killer Croc said waving him off “caught that guy in an alleyway looking through some women's handbags that he probably stole."

Killer Croc then laughed and said “tell you what though he WAS quiet fighter even in my stomach but who could blame him. But he was no match for this guy" Killer Croc gestured to himself with his thumbs.

Even though what Killer Croc was disturbing Jon couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.

“But anyway enough about that" Killer Croc said as he sat up straighter on the bed “what's your name?"

“I'm Jonathan, Jonathan Black." Jon said a bit shyly thinking what might happen next.

Killer Croc's eyes widened “the son of Delton Black? The new elected District Attorney?" Jon nodded and Killer Croc leaned forward his eyes filled with curiosity. “Then what the hell were you doing in the sewers?"

Jon sighed before saying “it's a long story."

“Well" Killer Croc said as he leaned back up against the wall “I'm in no hurry."

Jon huffed in frustration and walked over to a chair which was next to the bed and said “fine I'll tell you what happened."

After Jon told his story Killer Croc looked down in sadness before leaning over and placed his large hand on Jon's shoulder.

“I'm sorry for your loss" Killer Croc said softly. Jon gave him a small smile and patted his hand.

“It wasn't your fault, it was Two-Faces." Jon said. He then got up from his chair and made his way to the door.

“Where are you going?" Killer Croc asked.

“I'm going home, my dads probably worried about me." Jon said as he opened the door.

“I wouldn't do that." Killer Croc warned.

“Why?" Jon asked looking at him.

“Because it's dark outside and the city is very dangerous after dark." Killer Croc said as he stood up from the bed.

Jon looked out the window and saw it was indeed dark. “Great" he said closing the door “now what am I going to do?"

“Well" Killer Croc said deep in thought.

Two Hours later both Killer Croc and Jon were sitting on the floor near a battery powered heater. Jon was hugging himself as he shivered a bit seeing how it was cold and the heater wasn't doing much. Killer Croc took noticed of this and slowly wrapped his arm around Jon and brought him closer to his side.

Jon stopped shivering as he felt the heat of Killer Croc's body radiating off of him and he felt warm. Jon smiled and leaned his head on Killer Croc's rough scaly skin.

“Croc?" Jon asked as he looked at the orange glow of the heater.

“Yes?" Killer Croc answered.

“What's your real name?"

Killer Croc was hesitant at first but then answered “Waylon."

“That's a cool name" Jon said. Killer Croc looked down at him and smiled.

“Thanks kid" He said happily and ruffled Jon's brown hair.

“I hope you don't mind me asking but how do you look like a crocodile, was it a science experiment?"

Killer Croc's smile faded and he said “no it wasn't, I have a rare genetic condition that makes me look like this."

Jon felt sorry for him but he brightened up and said “well I think you look awesome."

Killer Croc smiled down at him again and for the first time a tear of joy rolled down his cheek and he held Jon closer to him. For the first time, Killer Croc had actually found a friend that he could talk to properly, a friend who accepted him for what he looked like.

Twenty minutes passed and Killer Croc could hear faint snoring, he looked down to see Jon's head wresting on his lap. He smiled at the sight and slowly and carefully picked Jon up and carried him to the bed before laying him down of the bed. He then sat down on the floor next to the bed and looked over to Jon who laid there peacefully.

“I'm glad I didn't eat you Jon" Killer Croc muttered “your a good kid, I might even go as far as to say...friend" and with that Killer Croc laid down on the wooden floor and soon dropped off to sleep.

The Next morning Jon was standing outside Killer Croc's apartment looking up at the man himself with a smile.

“Well thanks Waylon for your hospitality it was fun" Jon said as held out a hand for Killer Croc to shake.

What took Jon by surprise was when Killer Croc actually picked him up and gave him a big hug.

“I'm gonna miss ya buddy, I think I can safely say that you are my first ever friend" Killer Croc said as he hugged him.

This made Jon feel warm inside and said “to be honest with you, you're mine too."

Killer Croc looked at him in confusion “huh?"

Jon nodded sadly and said “to cut a long story short, I never had any friends."

Killer Croc felt sorry for Jon but he hugged him a little tighter and said softly “well you got one now." After a minute Killer Croc put Jon back down.

Jon waved goodbye and exited the apartment building and walked down the street.

Before long a couple of GCPD officers found and brought him back to the station where they put him in the interrogation room and half an hour later, Delton Black came in and rushed over and embraced him.

“I thought you were dead" Delton said as cried. Jon hugged him back while he was crying too.

“I thought I was too dad" Jon said.

His farther let go of him and looked into his blue eye's and said “I heard where the two officers found you" then he looked at Jon confused “how did you end up there"

Jon smiled and he said “It's a long story."

THE END
