Rick in Marvel and DC: Fusion

Chapter 28 : Killer Croc

"He's ugly on the outside, too."

"Not me, shorty. I'm beautiful."

—Harley Quinn and Killer Croc

The freezing gun could shoot freezing rays close to absolute zero. Once it hit the wall, it could almost stop the molecular motion of the cement steel bar. To Jude, no matter how robust the wall was, it was akin to a piece of paper, easily broken with a single poke.

"I only have five seconds at most. I must subdue him before the killer Croc can react," Jude thought to himself. His finger swiftly squeezed the trigger, several frozen rays hit the wall, and then he delivered a powerful punch.

In the seventh-floor warehouse of Ruby Cosmetics Company, the killer croc sat there, sipping wine, while keeping an eye on the trembling hostages. He yelled and snarled, "Shut up, all of you; whoever dares to make any more noise, I will break his neck."

The crowd fell silent immediately. Suddenly, he lifted a woman squatting on the corner of the table with one hand and tore off the tape from her mouth. The woman, trembling with fright, dared not make a sound.

The killer croc, satisfied with his deterrent effect, stretched out his scarlet tongue, licked the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Tell me, am I ugly? Is it disgusting?"

The woman shook her head hurriedly and said, "No, sir, you are not disgusting at all, but something special."

"Do you like this look?"

"Of course, I like it very much."

Killer Croc's eyes showed a fierce light. "Lying, I can only see fear in your eyes. What you are saying is just the same rhetoric as those in the circus."

"You only think of me as a deformed monster, a weird species born from a cross between a mother and a crocodile. You are mocking me, right?"

The woman was shocked by the sudden roar of the killer croc, and a yellow liquid came out between her legs, dripping to the floor.

"Hahahaha... Are you afraid? Don't be afraid. It won't take long for the whole of Gotham City to become like me. This place will become a monster city. I will no longer be a special one, hahaha."

"Why do I feel a bit cold?"

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from behind. The killer croc quickly turned around and saw a big hole in the wall. Instinctively, he grabbed the woman and used her as a shield.

"FUCK!"

Jude could only retract his hand that was about to shoot and slammed on the damaged wall to activate the effect of attracting gravity shoes. He jumped above the killer croc's head like a big bird, and the freezing rays fired continuously, instantly freezing the croc and the woman into an ice sculpture.

From breaking the wall to the end of the battle, it took no more than five seconds in total. What happened to the hostages who had not reacted yet? The situation had reversed. Jude appeared, his hands pressing down again and again to signal the hostages to stay calm.

"Quiet, my friends; I'm Batman's friend; came to rescue you. If you shout louder and call Clay face it will be over and I will leave you alone."

The hostages heard the name Batman and hurriedly quieted down, all looking at Jude anxiously.

"That's right, the police will come to rescue you immediately."

Jude walked to the broken wall and made an OK gesture to Sheriff Gordon below.
