Chapter 20

After getting my card, I ran to the nearest bank to steal some money and add to the card and also ate breakfast while running there. When I the bank door and immediately started killing everybody in the bank by snapping their neck, and in less than 10 seconds, they were all dead except the fat bank manager who was having a conversation with a client in his office.

"I want you to open the bank vault for me." I said, appearing behind him and placing both my hands by the side of his face, ready to snap depending on his answer.

"Ok, ok. I will do it. Just let me live afterward." The bank manager said with a shaky voice with his entire body already socked in sweat.

"Good choice." I said, already knowing he would say yes. I mean, who would say no in this kind of situation?

I grabbed him by his collar and ran to the bank vault before dropping him in front of it. The door to the bank vault at the very end of a long hallway in the basement of the bank. Looking down, I saw most of his clothes and some of the skin of the manger were burned making me think, 'So this aura doesn't protect others from running..." Before saying, "Open it."

The manager looked around him in confusion before has quickly run and pressed something in the bank vault. He put in a password, then scanned his eyes, his face, and lastly, all his finger in a particular random way. The vault opens afterward with a second door appearing behind it.

"Well, open that one too." I said, gesturing at the second vault.

"Well... You see... The second one needs two people, me and my secretary on open at the same time." The manager said, looking back at me, his body sweating more.

I looked at him and grinned. "Are you lying or stalling for time?"

"No, no. It was for security reasons." The manager said, making back until his back hit the second vault.

I looked at her before running and getting his dead Secretary then threw her to his feet. "Well, here she is, opens it."

The manager looked at his dead secretary before looking up at me and laughing awkwardly. "Well you see, she has her own password, the arrangement she let it scan her finger, voice recognition, and a security question. I know none of hers and she knows none of mine. Again, security reason."

I looked at him before admitting, "That is smart."

"Thank you. But it was Bruce Wayne, CEO of the Wayne Enterprise, who gave me the idea." The manager said, cleaning the sweat on his forehead with his arm.

"But now, you die..."

"I don't think you have the permission to kill someone." A female voice suddenly called out before someone landed between me and the manager.

It was a short female, about 5'7", with wavy red hair, bright green eyes, and a curvy yet slender figure hidden behind a black bodysuit. She had on a gold-colored boot and gloves with some metallic blades on their sides, a gold-colored utility belt, a black eye mask, a gold bat symbol on her chest, and a long black cape.

"I can't let you kill more than you have already, Carnage." Batgirl said, bringing out a Batarang. "Just to steal some money from the bank, you had to kill everyone. Why?"

-Third POV-

"Because it is fun and it had some kind of aphrodisiac effect on me." Carnage said, grinning, "I used to it just to break the rule and be different from the majority, but now, it feels so good killing someone. The idea of being a god that can easily take something away from anyone is addicting." He continued, green lightning appearing within his eyes, making Batgirl shiver.

"You are sick, Carnage, a sick man that needs help." Batgirl said, gesturing for the manager to leave.

"But do you know what brings me more joy? Torture, making people feel despair, giving someone hope then snatching it away from them." With a purple streak, Carnage appeared in front of Batgirl, both his hands placed on side of her face. "I can just kill you right now, but I want to see you struggle, try to win but in the end, losing, I want you to feel despair."

Batgirl quickly swung her fist to Carnage's head which he easily caught. Seeing this, Batgirl jumped in the air and spun her body before kicking toward his head, which he effortlessly caught, again. He then picked her up by the leg he caught and threw her to the side.

Batgirl slid on the ground before jumping up and did some spin before landing. 'I couldn't react at all. Is this why Batman lost? He is faster than I can react.' She thought, looking over to the grinning Carnage. 'At least the manager escaped and I already called for backup. All I have to do now is stall till they get here and we take him down together.'

"You think the Manger is free?" Carnage asked, purple lightning flashing around his body.

Realizing what is about to happen, batgirl screened, "No don't!!!" But it was too late.

Carnage flashed away with purple lightning and came back seconds after, carting the dead body of the manager by his neck.

"Look at his face, the amount of despair on it is exhilarating." Carnage said, holding the manager's face toward Batgirl, "He thought he was free, but when he saw me appear in front of him... Hehehe."

"You monster!! I will put you down and send you to prison where you will never see the light of day again." Batgirl shouted, throwing a Batarang at Carnage.

"Let's go." Carnage said, throwing the manager's dead body away.
