DC- New Age

Chapter 6 - Papa Midnite and Arkham Asylum

He saw that opposite to him was a tall, well built, dark skinned man dressed in a black one piece suit, whereas he was in prison attire, which he was made to wear by the police instead of his bathrobe.

The other guy was apparently named "Papa Midnite". When asked on what happened, he recounted the tale of how his assistant when taking a walk, heard an old lady scream for help and saw that this man was about to kill her, so his assistant screamed at him to stop, which had startled Blitz, the assailant, and caused him a gunshot wound to his leg, before Blitz made a run for it.

When Blitz denied all this and told them that he was actually the won who was shot and rescued the lady, he got a bunch of disgusted looks. "Then how is it that you don't have a single wound on you while my assistant does eh?" asked Papa Midnite in retort.

"..." this left Blitz speechless as he can't exactly say he was brought back to life by some mysterious phenomenon.

This was when Papa Midnite raised his hand and asked for a short break, to which the judge accepted surprisingly easily. During the break, Papa came over to Blitz's private room and told him "If you tell me how exactly you ressurected, then I can assure you that my assistant will confess his misdoings and you shall be set free, along with compensation for your troubles" this caused a spark of hope to be lit up in Blitz's heart, as he explained on how exactly he was killed and how when he woke up again, he met a wierd brit called John Constantine who called himself master of the dark arts. However, in his desperation, he missed out certain details such as his vision when he was dead and the look of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e on midnite's face when he mentioned Constantine and how he called himself the master of the dark arts.

After listening to his explanation, Midnite said "Had it been anyone or anything else except for Constantine, you would have been a free man, however that very name boils my blood, hence you shall serve 8 months in prison as a punishment for associating with that man." Having said this, Midnite walked out of the room, leaving the poor Blitz confounded on what just happened. Blitz soon started sobbing when he realized what awaited him. When Blitz was coming out, he saw the old lady he had saved that day. Happy at the fact that he still has hope, he was about to approach her, when Midnite's assistant walked over to her first and handed her a wad of cash, which the lady greedily took and was nodding to something that the other guy had said. Soon both limped away for different reasons, one due to his injury, the other due to old age. Seeing this spectacle, all emotions drained from Blitz's face, which if anyone saw now would look ice cold. The verdict was as Midnite said, with him being sentenced to 8 months of jail.

Even when he was being escorted into the high security van, the reporters and other onlookers, discussed amon themselves how cold and killer like his face was, however he paid it no heed and sat into the vehicle.

However, he did note down a few faces whom he swore to take revenge on, first was the old lady who sold him off, the other was Midnite and his gang, third was the bunch of girls who were now watching him leave, as it was because of them that he was sentence to 8 months in arkham asylum rather than a normal prison. They had infact, come towards the ending of the hearing and told the courtroom about how he was also a stalker and had molested many women and also had s.e.x.u.a.lly harassed one of her friends named Tina Boland. This had got him sentenced to arkham asylum as apparently, Tina Boland was actually an undercover cop. Hence adding her to his list of revenge as had she spoken up, he would not have to go to the asylum.

Blitz was even contemplating, whether or not he should add constantine to the list as it was because of him and his feud with midnite that he was serving this sentence, and had he left him dead it would have been better, as his life was now ruined with him being sent arkhum asylm, which would remain a big splotch of black ink on his records. Forget his dream of becoming a hero and joining the league, he doubts he could even live a normal life after coming out of that place.
