EUPHORIA

The Black Assissan(Part 4)

Days turned into weeks after the unthinkable happened. Raven was gone. His daughter was still missing, and Damian was drowning in the overwhelming waves of grief, rage, and guilt. He had lost everything-his family, his hope, his purpose. The man he had been-the son of the League of Assassins, the boy who fought for justice-had fractured, and in his place, something darker had emerged.

Damian Wayne no longer operated by the rules. The moral code he had once clung to, the code that had kept him from killing, was gone. He had no reason to hold back anymore. He had nothing left to protect but the memory of Raven and the promise to find their daughter.

And so, he became The Black Assassin-a shadow in the night, a killer who hunted without mercy. His eyes burned with a cold fire as he hunted down the criminal scum who populated Gotham's underworld, those who had caused him and his loved ones pain. And one by one, he tore through them. His methods were brutal. Efficient. Deadly.

His enemies didn't have time to react. They only saw him for a split second, a flash of black armor, before he disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Gunshots rang out in the dark alleys, but no one could stop him. No one could even catch a glimpse of him.

The Black Assassin was merciless. He hunted down every thug who had ever wronged Gotham, every dealer, every mercenary. If they had blood on their hands, they were marked for death.

The First Victim

It was a rainy night when Damian encountered his first target: a notorious crime boss who had been trafficking weapons through Gotham. This man had caused countless deaths, including the murder of innocent civilians. But to Damian, his greatest crime was the role he had played in taking everything from him.

Damian had spent days tracking him down, following whispers in the underground, piecing together the movements of the criminal empire. It was in the heart of Gotham's seedy underbelly where he found him, surrounded by his men in a rundown warehouse.

The Black Assassin moved like a shadow, silently taking down the guards one by one. No one had the chance to react. The few who tried to fight were swiftly cut down with a flash of his blades.

When Damian reached the boss, the man was cowering, trembling in fear. He wasn't used to being hunted. He wasn't used to feeling powerless.

Damian didn't waste words. His eyes-cold, unfeeling-glowed faintly under the shadow of his mask. The boss begged for his life, but it only made Damian's anger burn hotter.

"You've destroyed everything I cared about," Damian hissed through gritted teeth. "You're nothing but a parasite to this city."

With a swift motion, he ended the man's life. His body crumpled to the floor, and Damian felt nothing. He didn't care about justice. He didn't care about redemption. All he cared about now was pain. His pain. The pain of losing everything.

The Descent

Damian's descent into darkness continued. He operated alone, cutting ties with anyone who could pull him back from the edge. He was no longer the Robin who fought for something greater. He was the Black Assassin-an avenger who worked alone, with a singular purpose: to tear through Gotham's underworld and make them pay for their crimes.

His reputation began to spread. The criminals who once feared Batman now feared something else entirely. Rumors of a deadly, masked assassin who killed without mercy began to circulate. They spoke of a man who never spoke a word, who moved like a shadow, and who left no witnesses behind.

Damian didn't care. He didn't care about the fear he instilled in others, nor the legacy he was creating. The only thing that mattered was that Raven was gone, his daughter was taken, and Gotham's scum would pay for it.

A Silent Promise

It was another night when he stood at the top of a high building, watching the city below. The rain had stopped, but the chill in the air still cut through him. He stood there, his mind racing, memories of Raven and his daughter flashing before his eyes.

Damian's fingers brushed over the side of his mask, and for a brief moment, he allowed himself to remember the promise he had made to Raven.

"I'll always protect you," he had told her.

But that promise was hollow now. He had failed her. He had failed their daughter.

The rage inside him was no longer a fire-it was an abyss, consuming everything it touched. And there was nothing left to fill it.

A voice crackled through his comm device, but Damian didn't answer. His hands clenched into fists, and he turned away from the skyline, the haunting image of his lost family fresh in his mind. The Black Assassin had no place for regret. There was no time for grief.

He would find them. He would find his daughter, and he would make the world pay for what had been taken from him.

And when he finally did, the Black Assassin would make sure the world would never forget the price they would pay for crossing him.
