If those two atoms were in an otherwise empty universe eventually gravitational attraction would bring them together.
How long it would take is another matter but it would happen.
Now think of that universe containing 190 billion supermassive black holes(give or take a couple of billion), it will happen. And before they have time to evaporate.
And even so what of the particles emitted? they will just be absorbed by other blackholes. Where else are they going to go?

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

It is not a question Phil but a guess.
As you have clearly stated the time scale is 100x100 light years for any "black Hole" to consume it's galaxy. What I am pointing out is that people have great difficulty in assimilating 50 year weather patterns let alone 100x100 time spans.
for you and me this is not an issue for others it is. They are collectively unable to make it to the next decade let alone further. Such is the limitations of the human mind.
