The Joker could see Robin approach Arell, who the cown could now identify as 'Swamp Rat', now that his truck had collided quite effectively with the front doors of one of the buildings within Carnivora. He noted, with some disappointment, that neither of them were entering the broken building. Once again taking the microphone, he said, "Huh. All that work, just to break open a building that you don't want to enter. Shame, really. Just... No, I really shouldn't say... Oh, what the hell, I'll tell you. Be careful. Who knows what you might be letting out to play... Heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee..." The clown pressed a button on his console.
------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lound CLANG was heard from within the building. After a moment, a low growling began to emerge from where the hole was, and anyone looking into the hole might've been able to see a pair of yellow reptilian eyes shine lightly in the darkness; eyes that were nowhere near the ground. A large, green, scaly hand emerged from the hole, grabbing the edge of it to help haul the massive body it belonged to through. Finally, emerging from within the depths of the building, Killer Croc saw Arell and Robin. "Well, well, well... Looks like the little bird has flown the coop without the Bat. Tick, tock..."

Apex narrowed his eyes. Killer Croc... This was going to be... interesting. He figured Croc would be able to see or smell him even as he was, so he just waited for the possibly inevitable.

Rosie watched the monitor with wide eyes as the huge....scaly green man walked out of the broken building. She....what was that? Had Joker told her about that thing before? She didn't think so....she didn't remember any kind of description like this anyway.
She stared at the screen for a long moment, then turned her head to look up at Joker. A questioning, but highly interested expression on her face.
Alex and Sapphire exchanged looks. "That....we'd really appreciate it if you could." Sapphire began, looking back at the new woman. "But...I'm not sure you wouldn't be doing it again. The moment she's able to move, she'll be going right back in there after him."

Joker looked at Rosie, and pointed at the monitor that showed Croc clearest. "Waylon Jones, better known as Killer Croc. When he's not in Arkham, he lives in the sewers of Gotham City. Usually subsides on a diet of human flesh. Like every other villain in Gotham, he's got it in for the Bat family."

Rosie's eyes widened a bit as she watched the screen, then looked back at Joker. "So...he's going to EAT them?" she asked, her tone a mix of horror and interest. She wanted to ask about consuming someone else's blood and everything killing the person who ate them. But....the guy certainly looked like an animal.
Meanwhile, drifting through the darker areas of the carnival, was a light, barely visible mist. It paused a ways off from the area Robin and Arell were standing with Croc, then drifted back and continued through the darker areas. The gun slinger would be occupied for a little while. She didn't have to worry about him shooting her daughter by accident. At least not at the moment anyway.

"If he gets the opportunity, probably." Joker saw no point in lying to the girl; she was way too smart for that.

Arell smirked when he heard "Bat family" and looked to Tim. "Sucks to be you, kid. I work alone." he growled, loading two more shells into the gun and kept going, ignoring the Clown's banter over the loudspeaker. F*ckin' thang maybe what I shoot next. he thought as he walked, careful not to enter buildings.

Croc watched Arell walk away, and chuckled. "Guess he's too chicken to face his death like a man." Turning his attention back to Robin, he approached the Boy Wonder. "No Batman, no hope. Tick, tock."

"Chicken?" Before Croc could react Arell was already up in his grill, holding the sawed-off shotgun below the gator's chin. "You got somethin' to say t' me, ugly?" he growled, the cigarette dangling from one side of his mouth. A glimpse of a fang could be seen briefly as he prepped a shotgun shell. Sure, he was slightly shorter than Croc, but a false move from Waylon and that Tick Tock could stop. FAST.

"I believe you already heard it," Croc said, "Besides, you're walking around with the wrong gun to kill me, with all the scales."

Arell pulled the hammer back. "Wanna test dat?" he growled. Arell decided against going 'Gator on this upstart. Instead, jamming the barrel of the sawed-off harder into the Croc's head. "Reckon you'll go for a good price back home." he growled.

Tim stepped back with a concentrating expression on his face and crouched low as Croc approached. He tightly gripped his staff to his side.... Killer Croc had already tried killing Tim and most of the other bat-members... and in Tim's case, he'd almost succeeded at least twice. In other words, Croc wasn't usually one Robin would like to fight alone. He kept his crouch and watched Croc closely. Even as Arell did what he did, Tim kept very alert-- he reached into a different pocket of his belt...

Apex made his presence known with a soft chuckle-- a very Deathstroke-like chuckle. "Rookie..." he said softly, stepping out of the shadows. "You think a shotgun can hurt Killer Croc, especially with all that tough armor you're aiming at?"
He deftly leaped up onto a large crate nearby, and pulled out a pistol. "When you face a heavily-armored opponent, you don't aim for the armor. You aim for the vulnerable spots... Like this."
Without another word, Apex aimed his pistol and fired two shots; one for each of Killer Croc's eyes. No matter how armored the rest of Waylon Jones' body was... The eyes were his biggest vulnerablility. Apex had spotted that immediately, and was intent on exploiting it.

Killer Croc eyes WERE his biggest vulnerability. And if Apex hadn't stepped out of the shadows, he would've blinded him, maybe even killed him. However, giving away his position, and then the susequent taunting while drawing gave Croc BARELY enough time to move. The rounds still hit his head, but his eyes were missed by scant millimeters. However, when you have as much built-in armor as Waylon's skin, millimeters is all you need to survive. Still, his scaly hide couldn't stop the bullets from hurting. A LOT. Jones stepped backwards, clutchng his head in pain. "YOU PIECE OF S**T! I'LL KILL YOU!!!" He yelled through his hands, which covered his face, his natural instinct taking over.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joker, despite the setback of an obvious expert marksman joining the fray, couldn't help but laugh into the PA microphone. "HAHAHAHAHA!!! Looks like Ryan Reynolds made Croc mad! Let's see if that turns out to be his biggest mistake since 'Blade: Trinity'!"

Arell took his chance, getting close to the croc and firing from both barrels as well, striking while the iron was still hot. "Think dat Pea Shooter's bad, try dis on fer size!" he growled, cigarette still dangling from his mouth.
