And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 72: Happy Ending
"I'm not gonna lie," said Poison Ivy. "I did not see this coming."
"Yeah," said Orca. Having had a bomb placed in my head and being forced to do the bidding of a genocidal maniac, and having been transformer into a killer whale, I have to say I wasn't sure if marriage was in the cards. You?"
"No, certainly wasn't in my plans, but there was this Elvis impersonator when Harley and I went to Vegas.
"Hey, you owe me," said Floyd.
"I know," Croc said.
"Not for the marriage but for the ceremony. Solovar wanted to do it in the traditional gorilla. I stopped you from having to learn the correct ooks."
"You're not such a bad guy, Floyd."
"No, I'm the absolute worst. One half decent act doesn't change a thing. Now off you go, lovebirds."
Outside Gorilla City
Killer Croc and orca sees Ra's Al Ghul.
"Croc. Orca." Ra's showed them the remsiniremembers of the Suicide Squad in his tablet. All that's left is Killer Croc, Orca, Captain Cold, Deadshot, Man-Bat, Boomerang and Katana.
"What is this?" Croc asked
"It's not what it looks like. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to concern you with this."
"You didn't mean to concern us with the device that can blow up our heads?" asked Orca.
"No. I don't know what the future holds. There is the smallest sliver of hope within me. Part of me truly wants to believe we can find a better way forward alongside the detective and the world. But humanity's greed has always sabotaged hope in the past. My grandchildren are gone. My daughter... has fled.i swore to make them a better world. I have failed. I swore to protect extant life from extinction. I have failed. It would be hypocritical and soulless for me to ignore the new life you are bringing into this world. If there is to be a war with the detective and the world, I will not force you to stay by my side."
Ra's deactivated the bombs in Croc's and Orca's head.
"Your existence will not be threatened by me. You and the vhildyou have created, are a special species. Go. You deserve a happy ending."
"Just like that?" Orca asked.
"Just like that."
"You enslaved me and the man I love. For months, I have lived in constant fear of the threat you posted to the child within me. And you think I'm going to grateful for your benevolence? We're Apex predators! You think our happy ending is walking away from the pretty that turned us into playthings?"
"No..."
With a roar, Killer Croc bit off Ra's' tight arm holding the tablet. Croc silenced the screams.
"You've been resurrected too many times, Ra's. You taste rotten! But I'll put up with a decay of decay eat your shit."
Croc grabbed arm...
"There's no need. Well finidh up here."
"Grodd."
"You haven't left."
"The rest of the squad..."
"Will die."
"I'm sorry, Orca. I won't let that happen!"
"Wait!" Orca stopped Croc from killing Grodd. "The Suicide Squad could be useful to you, Grodd. You have the means to control now. Don't waste that resource."
"How pragmatic. You're right, Orca. There can be no better outcome, Croc."
"I suppose not."
"This is it, Ra's." Orca has Ra's by his head. "You're bleeding. Your dick dream dying around you. And our child growing up in a world without you."
She holds Croc's hand. "This is our happy ending."
