Rating: Umm, there's a scene of death, but beyond that, I think it's pretty tame.
Pairing: Clois
Disclaimer: If I owned Smallville or it's characters, I wouldn't have stopped at ten seasons and this would be saved for an eleventh season.
Summary: Doomsday has returned to give Superman his greatest battle of all.
The story takes a look at how the Death of Superman affects the ones closest to him, including but not limited to the Justice League, Lex Luthor, and of course, Lois Lane.
Author's Note: So, this is part of my Kill Me or Kiss Me story. I wanted to cover the Death of Superman, and this is kind of my prologue to the story that I want to tell. I don't think there is really anything that needs to be explained, it should all be pretty straight forward, but if there is, I'll mention it here before the story. Anyways, enjoy!
The tires slipped across the pools of water collecting along the streets of Metropolis. Jimmy had one hand against the ceiling and the other against the dash, trying to brace himself as Lois whipped the Daily Planet news van around a corner.
"Ms. Lane! I just got a text from Mr. Lombard, he says the last sighting was Metro-Square!"
Lois slammed her foot on the brake, spinning the van down a road to the right. Jimmy's eyes grew wide as they saw the destruction only getting worse and worse as they raced towards Metro-Square. "What if he can't stop it?"
"Don't even say that, Olsen."
"But Ms. Lane-"
"No," she snapped. Lois looked him dead in the face. "He'll stop it, Jimmy. He'll stop it."
Jimmy watched Lois wipe a tear from her eye and focus on the road again. He had never seen her so upset. He had never seen her so scared. He turned to look up the road ahead. Through the smoke and clouds of dust, he could see red. He tried to narrow his eyes to see what it was, when the smoke cleared, he whispered, "Oh no..."
Superman's cape was wrapped around a piece of metal that was sticking out of the ground.
The van stopped with a screech and the two listened for the sound of the fight, but there was none. They got out of the van and walked towards the rubble that was Metro-Square. As smoke and dust cleared, they saw the creature known as Doomsday slumped against a boulder. From what they could tell, it was dead.
"If it's dead, where is-" started Jimmy.
Lois held up her hand, she could hear something. She followed the sound into the rubble and smoke. Jimmy tagged along behind her, but they wouldn't have to go far to find what was making the sound.
Superman, horribly beaten and bloody, was trying to crawl out of a crater. Lois turned to Jimmy, "Get an ambulance! Go to the street, direct them down here!" she ordered as she crawled down towards Superman.
Jimmy stood there for a second in shock before turning to do just that.
"Oh god...Clark..." she whispered. "Clark!"
He was barely moving. Lois slid own the rubble, grabbing onto him like he was going to disappear. "Clark! Can you hear me? Please god, Clark..."
An eye squinted open, "Lo...is?"
"I'm here, Smallville. I'm here. Just hold on, Jimmy is getting help. Just hold on."
"Doomsday...is it...is it..."
Lois cradled him in her arms, tears streaming down her face. "You stopped it. You saved us, Clark. You saved us. Now just relax, try and hold onto me, Smallville. You're going to be ok. Help is coming."
Clark's fingers tightened around her arm, "Lois...I don't think...I don't think I'll be able to..."
"Don't talk like that. Please, don't talk like that. Please..."
"Lois..."
She buried her face in his chest, tears pouring out. "I can't do this without you, Clark. I can't lose you."
"It's going to be ok, Lois," he told her in a drifty voice, rubbing the back of her head. Enjoying the feel of her hair between his fingers. "Oliver and Bruce...they'll take care...of things..."
She started to sob, "I don't care about that. I can't do this without you..."
Clark's hand reached up to her cheek. "You will be ok, Lois...I believe in you..."
"No...Smallville..."
"And when you believe...in somebody...it's not for a minute...or just for now..."
Lois couldn't help but smile through the free-falling tears. "It's forever."
"I love...you...Lois Lane."
As his body went limp, Lois cried into his chest. "Kent. It's...it's always been Kent..."
Rocks slid down around them, but Lois didn't notice. She was clinging onto Clark's body, sobbing into his chest. Jimmy slid down into the crater, "They're coming! I can see their lights, Ms. Lane! We just have...to hold..."
Realization set in for Jimmy as Lois looked up at him, eyes red and tears streaming down her face.
"Oh no..."
to be continued. . . .
Author's Note: So, that was Part 1, which is really more of a prologue than anything else. If you liked it, hopefully you will stick around and read the rest. If not, well, better luck next time? haha. My Kill Me or Kiss Me story is much more of a comedy/romance type story, so if you like that kind of thing, feel free to check it out.
Anyways, the next part will be up before the end of the week for sure. Make sure to shoot me a review! Thanks!
