Chapter Twenty Five

The sickening beating could be heard from outside, although not many passers chose to, either to cared to know what they were doing or just not interested as they had heard it all before in that room, Black mask had many 'guests' enter that room but not many left

"Look at what a mess you have made to my suit boy!" He mocked the crawling Nightwing as he attempted to flick some of the blood from his shirt and hands purposefully onto Nightwing whilst he cringed as his own blood splattered across his face

"Oh don't try to leave Nightwing, your booked to stay all night, and if you last that long even a couple of more nights if your really strong"

"I-I give up," Nightwing croaked through his battered throat

"Oh no, this isn't about giving up, this isn't about surrendering, this is something entirely different which you have never experienced before" His voice shivered disturbingly with excitement "But I'm ready to experience it whether your not"

Nightwing's eye widened as he looked upon Black mask shadowing him holding a rather intricate object in his hand

"I made this one just for you… rust free, I had better get the diamorphine ready"

He laughed hard when he saw Nightwing flinch away from him as he approached closer with the object

"See it's not nice when you stare death in the face is it?"

Nightwing just shook his head weakly agreeing with anything he said, dreading the next thing dealt to him

"Well that's how my brother felt" He calmly spoke "When you killed him!" He then shouted as he leaned into Nightwing's face

"I didn't, didn't kill him" He whispered to himself, knowing it would do little use, Black mask was going to kill him so there was no point in involving Tarantula in this, he would never dream of putting her through this, he deserves everything and more because of Huntress as he catches a glimpse of her fading away as she struggled to stay in the room and to this life

"Who did then?" Unfortunately Black mask heard his pitiful words, which made Nightwing gasp, he didn't want any more questions, just the beating he deserved he thought

"My- my g-gun" He braced his self for Black mask fatal moves

"You son…." He hit him hard across the back of the head and again after he collapsed to the floor "Your going to regret everything once you wake up" His dark eye holes for eyes glaring "But for now I have her to keep me occupied" He moved back to Huntress, Nightwing could vaguely make out her plead for mercy before he gave in
