Chapter 23

Stone mask picked up Carnage by the large he broke before slamming him on the ground like a ragdoll. Without stopping, he picked Carnage up and slammed him more time, as many cracks can be heard around the room.

After many seconds of slamming him around, painting the ground and walls red with blood, he dropped the bleeding Carnage on the ground before stepping on the knee on his fine leg, shattering it and making it unable to use.

Carnage screamed in agony as Stone mask kicked him hard on his side, shattering 4 of his ribs and throwing him many meters away.

Carnage gritted his teeth, trying his best to ignore the pain, and started to crawl toward the door leading out the room but Stone mask walked up to him and stepped on his back.

"No. waiT, leTs talk this OUt..." Carnage tried to plead but Stone mask didn't listen and stepped down hard as many cracks and snaps were heard sounding through the room.

Carnage spat out a mouthful of blood, blacking out and coming back conscious, from the pain.

"That's enough." Black mask said, causing Stone mask to move away. He walked up to Carnage and pointed the black pistol he was playing with at Carnage's head. "Good buy Carnage."

Before he could press the trigger, a Batarang flew and hit Black mask's hand, throwing the gun out of his hand. Back mask looked at the gun on the floor, then at the door and saw Robin and Nightwing standing by the door.

"Why the fuck are you guys here? Don't you have someplace to be? Like the bank that is being robbed by my men's right now?" Black mask asked, looking at the two.

"It is being taken care, by Oracle and the Black Canary." Nightwing said, spinning his staff which made a whistling noise.

"Who..." Black mask was about to say something before his phone rang. "Well, that's my cue. Let's go."

Without wasting another second, he ran and jumped out the window, Stone mask and the other following.

"Why did you stop Black mask, Nightwing!? You could have let him die!!" Robin shouted, glaring at Nightwing.

"We couldn't let that happened. We can't let people die or get killed in our presence."Nightwing said, trying to calm Robin down.

"Haha. Look what he has done. To Gotham, how many he had killed... what he did to Batgirl. She can't walk anymore." Robin shouted bringing put a Batarang.

"And we can't kill him and become like him. We can't stoop down to his level and be as sick and horrible as he is." Nightwing said, holding the hand that Robin was holding the Batarang with. "I mean, look at Batgirl. She overcame her inability to walk and became Oracle and is now working to create her team. You are proud of being the best Robin, so prove it. Be better than the rest of us... Don't break the rule."

Robin took a deep breath, before putting his Batarang away. "He will go to prison where he will rot and die. We don't have to take him to the hospital, his regeneration that Batman told us about will take care of his blood loss." Robin said, walking out of the room.

"He.- HeLp..." Carnage said, reaching toward Nightwing's foot.

Nightwing kicked his hand away before pressing his earpiece. "Oracle, do you read me?"

"Loud and clear." A voice answered from the other side.

"Do you need backup on the bank robbery?" Nightwing asked, squatting down and picking up Carnage's right hand which had a watch.

"No. Canary took care of it." Oracle replied before saying, "Where are you?"

"Some mysterious person called and informed us about a murder about to happen in abandoned buildings and since Robin and I were together at that time, we came together." Nightwing said, dropping the hand.

"Who was it? Did you guys stop it?" Oracle asked with a worried voice.

"No need to worry, we stopped it. But it was Carnage that was about to get killed by Black Mask and his family." Nightwing said, looking at Carnage's legs which were now broken and twisted to an unnatural degree.

The other side of the call went silent for a while before a voice came through. "I will call the cops." Before the call hung up.

"Nightwing, we have to go. The police are coming and we just got the news that Joker is planning to blow up Gotham bridge." Robin said, poking his head into the room before running off.

Nightwing looked down at Carnage, who looked like he was going to die at any moment, before running out of the room.
