~~Backstory~~

Alice sighed softly and tapped her fingers along her arm, her black nails constrasting against her fair skin. She repressed her eye roll at her snobbish mother and simply kept her mouth shut. She half-heartedly listened to the woman rant and carefully leaned against the wall, careful to keep from pressing her tattoo against it.

"You are a disgrace to my family! To our family name! We are a good Christian family with good values, young lady! You are sixteen, how did you get it anyway?! You know what? I don't even want to hear your excuse, you probably slept with the man for it."

Alice flinched back at her words and frowned. "No, I didn't sleep with him. It's a good tattoo. It's not evil and I'm not Christian any-"

Alice's cheek burned red at the sharp slap interrupting her and she felt tears well up in her eyes from the pain. Her mother fumed and hissed, "Get out of my house. I will not have some heathen in my home, nor as my daughter. You are a disgrace. You are nothing to me! Nothing! Leave! And, never return! This is not your home anymore!"

Alice let out a choked sob and moved to apologize before another harsh slap met her cheek, her cheek bleeding as her mother's ring caught her cheek. She stumbled back and quickly darted out the home, running barefoot through the gated neighborhood. She sobbed and kept running, tears running down her cheeks.

She eventually slowed and let out a choked sob, stumbling into an alley. She collapsed and curled up tightly, heavily gasping to catch her breath. She slowly moved to curl up against the wall and hugged her knees, burying her face in them and dozing into an exhaustion-induced sleep.

When she awoke, several (most likely drunk) men were surrounding her. She put up a weak glare and forced out, "Stay away from me."

They all laughed and she paled slightly, pressing back against the wall in an attempt to hide. One grabbed her by her arm and she cried out as she yanked up, sobbing when he attacked her neck with his mouth. She struggled weakly and kicked out with her legs, sobbing as they continued laughing at her.

She let out a screech when the man holding her bit down on her neck and clenched her eyes shut. She weakly struggled and opened her tearful eyes, slowly blinking at the large shadow behind the other men. Two reptilian hands reached out and she let a small smile show as the hands wrenched them away, a loud growl echoing through the alley.

The one holding her stiffened and the scaly hands tightened, twisting the two men's neck. She gasped at the sharp cracks of their necks and the man let go of her, running off before quickly getting caught by the large, scaly man caught him. She stumbled backwards and tripped, staring up in shock and awe.

When the man (creature?) pulled away with blood surrounding his mouth, he stared at her, simply waiting for her to scream and run. Instead, she stared up at him in awe. He paused and slowly turned to face him, letting her see his shirtless form.

She simply blinked and tilted her head, mumbling, "Who-who are you?"

He shifted slightly and rumbled, "Killer Croc. Never heard of me? I own the sewers of Gotham."

She nodded slightly and slowly stood, dusting of her clothes. "I'm Alice. It's, um, nice to meet you. Thanks for saving me."

He watched her closely, waiting for her to scream or call the bat or something. However, she just stood and watched him. He eventually rumbled out, "Don't you got a home or something?"

She rubbed her arm and mumbled, "Um, not anymore I don't. I'm essentially an orphan now." He nodded slightly and moved to crawl back down the hole. She stepped slightly forward and mumbled, "Um, can I stay with you? I don't have anyone else."

He blinked in surprise and shifted slightly before softly rumbling, "Climb on down. Get in my way and you're dead, though."

She smiled brightly up at him and quickly climbed down. He followed her and closed the grate back. She looked at him like he was a human...
