Yes. It has happened before. There are supermassive black holes, and they got that way in part from combining with other black holes. And just as it has happened before, it will happen again. It is likely happening now somewhere in the universe. A small black hole is circling a very large one near the event horizon. The X-rays and other higher energy electromagnetic radiation created here bathe this volume of space in increasingly more energy. Soon the gravity of the more massive black hole will pluck the smaller one from spacetime and only the larger one will remain. Or two black holes of approximately equal mass are caught in a "waltz" orchestrated by their mutual gravity. They are gliding like two dancers an arm's length apart who are holding onto each other's hands. In a short while they will pull each other closer and embrace, becoming one. The universe holds wonders that could not have even been imagined just a single lifetime ago. What else hides from our view behind a curtain of gas and dust or concealed by a massive star field?

Do black holes live forever?

This answer depends on the size of the black hole. Black holes devour anything that falls onto the event horizon. As a black hole eats any and everything around it, it will grow. These black holes will exist as long as the universe exists. Small black holes do evaporate and disappear. This is because of something known as Hawking Radiation. Hawking Radiation is present in all Black Holes but its effects are inversely proportional to the mass of the black hole. This means that the larger the mass of the black hole the less the effect of the radiation is. A Black hole the mass of the Moon would evaporate almost instantly and the smaller the mass, the faster it will evaporate. You may think that a black hole that is larger but has nothing to consume will eventually evaporate, but you'd be wrong. Black Holes not only absorb stars and other objects, but it also feeds on the heat in space. Space is 2.7 kelvin, this is known as the Cosmic Microwave Background. A Black hole with a Solar mass of the sun will have a Hawking Temperature of about 100 Nanokelvins. This is far less then the 2.7 kelvins that space is. This is why large black holes will live as long as the universe itself, and small black holes such as those that could possibly be made with the Large Hadron Collider will never just stay open and consume the Earth. It is physically impossible due to the Hawking Radiation.Answer #2. #1 is correct however I would like to correct the everlasting black holes bit. No black holes will last as long as the universe. Supermassives have the advantage of accreting from the CMB right now. As the CMB cools they'll get less and less energy. Eventualy it's gonna hit an equilibrium where they're radiating as much mass as they're gaining through the CMB, then the scales will tip and all black holes will start slowly evaporating like their stellar-sized cousins did, ableit vastly slower, unless they continue accreting matter. Problem is, when that happens, the universe will be essentially dead, there will be no more stars to eat. Just vast nothingness full of supermassive black holes slowly dying and drifting masses of carbon (Black dwarf stellar remnants). So basically, no black holes live forever.

Can anything get away from a black hole?

Yes, a black hole can capture another black hole. Astronomers believe that a supermassive black hole exists at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy, and they also believe that they exist in the center of some other galaxies. Additionally, the supermassive black hole probably did not become supermassive by just "eating" only stars.The star density of many galaxies is greatest at the center, and the probability that black holes form there is fairly high. Further, multiple black holes have a higher probability of forming, and then of interacting ("hooking up") in such a "close" volume of space.Yes. Black holes can attract each other and merge if they are close enough.

both of the black hole will join together as one big black hole. they can either have a direct hit or both spin, twirling into each other until it create a new super big black hole.

Obstacle to provide that black holes really exist?

The biggest obstacle for proof of existence of black holes has always been our inability to observe them directly, due to their nature of absorbing light and never emitting it (since the escape velocity of a black hole exceeds the speed of light). However, there is abundant evidence of their existence. For example, studies of the orbits of stars near the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way's core have shown that no object other than a black hole could explain their path - otherwise, the stars in orbit would hit the object (i.e., it is so small and so massive, that there is no other possible explanation).

What col er is a black hole?

A black hole is colorless. In order for something to have "color," it has to be hit by photons and fly back to the observer. Black holes trap photons within, where they are they are unable to be absorbed and reflect color. It's impossible to know what black holes really look like with our current understanding of the universe but one could assume the singularity itself is a dark grey because it's most likely made of iron.
