I have wanted to have two of my OCs meet for the longest time, and it appeared this story was the best way to do that. I had a poll open on my profile for about two years, and though it's remained pretty even, the end result was that more people wanted to see both love interests rather than just one.
This means that this story is a continuation of both "An Unlikely Dream Come True" and my "Dark Knight" trilogy stories. Because of that, I had to combine Nolan-verse and Snyder-verse so I had to take some creative liberties here and there. Bear with me. I was hesitant to do that since I didn't know if people would be angry with me, but then I figured that almost everyone already didn't care for the movie anyway, so there wasn't much I could do to make it worse...
Here are some character profiles of my OCs to refresh anyone's memory. More will be explained in story:
Karly Mathis: Clark's love interest. The two of them went to school together growing up, always watching one another from a distance. They were both interested in each other but both believed the other was better off without them. Therefore, they ended up never speaking until Clark saved Karly when she got injured on his ship in the Arctic. From there, the two began to work together to defeat Zod. She is an employee of DARPA as an assistant to Dr. Hamilton.
Kristina Wayne (previously Jacobson): Bruce's wife. She is from our world but was thrown into the Batman universe when she was 26. She lived at Wayne Manor during her time in Gotham and slowly began to see Bruce as a real person rather than just someone to fangirl over. After the events with Bane, she and Bruce traveled the world and got married.
Chaos.
That was the only word on Bruce's mind as the helicopter started to touch down in Metropolis.
Before the helicopter even landed, Bruce had already opened the door and hopped out to land on the platform. A car was already waiting for him per his clear instructions.
Getting out of the helicopter behind him was his wife of ten years, Kristina, or as she preferred to be called, Kris.
The two of them ran to the car, pausing when they saw a gigantic strange machine in the air right in the center of the city.
"What is that?" Kris breathed.
The machine used a large beam of light and energy to pull up hundreds of pieces of debris before slamming it all back down on the ground with extreme force.
"Come on, we gotta go!" Bruce yelled.
Kris ran around to the other side of the car and slid into the passenger seat. Bruce slammed the gas and took off into the city.
As he drove through the near-empty streets, an explosion lit up the road in front of them. Bruce careened to the left which caused Kris to slam into the door. The beam of light sent more debris and dust their way. The car swerved in every direction to avoid being hit by both the beam and the random chunks being tossed about in the air.
Bruce whipped out his cellphone. "Jack," he said firmly to one of his employees. "Jack, listen to me. I want you to get everyone out of the building. Right now. You understand?"
Kris looked over at her husband in fear.
What could they do for this city as it was being demolished right in front of them? They didn't even fully understand what was causing it.
"Jack? Jack!"
Bruce slammed the phone shut when Jack did not answer him.
Another explosion sent Bruce swerving to the right. Kris hung onto the door handle to keep herself upright.
"Hold on!" Bruce ordered, attempting to keep control of the car.
"Believe me, I'm holding on!" she yelled back amidst the chaos.
They found themselves in the middle of another explosion, so Bruce took a right down an alley to get out of the flames.
He rammed into an open abandoned car door which sent it flying off. The alley ended and he found himself on the main road, just managing to miss a car driving in their direction.
Another machine flew low through the city and crashed through several of the buildings. This sent stones and bricks flying down to the street. Bruce sped up the car to miss the debris and avoid letting anything crash on top of them.
He slowed when he approached a throng of people. Some of them got out of the way of the car, but Bruce brought it to a stop when he saw that he was never going to be able to get through everyone.
He and Kris got out of the car and looked at the machine ahead of them. The beam of light had disappeared. Several people took pictures and videos of the pandemonium around them. It amazed Kris how much people wanted to document the crazy things happening when it could cost them their lives.
Suddenly, something crashed into the machine, sending a sonic boom out across the city.
The windows shattered on the car along with every other piece of glass in the vicinity.
"You okay?" Bruce called to his wife.
"Yeah," she answered.
Bruce took off running into the city towards the Wayne Financial building where Jack worked.
"Bruce!" Kris called to him.
She quickly followed after her husband. Bruce slowed once his building was in his sights. He once again pulled out his cellphone and dialed Jack's number to confirm he was out.
All he got was voicemail.
Strange beams of fire shot through the building erratically, and it began to crumble to the ground.
Kris put her hand to her mouth.
"Jack!" Bruce screamed.
He and Kris took off towards the building.
The dust from the building collapsing sent out a huge cloud which completely enveloped them. Kris coughed heavily as some of the dust entered her lungs. She put her sleeve over her mouth and nose to protect herself but took it away as the dust slowly settled.
She finally caught up with Bruce and they surveyed the intense damage. The two of them passed a young woman leading a group of children out of the wreckage, all of them looking utterly terrified.
"Mr. Wayne!" someone cried. "Mr. Wayne!"
Bruce and Kris ran over to the source of the voice. They found a man trapped under a heavy steel beam that had crushed his legs.
"I can't feel my legs," the man whimpered. "I can't feel my legs!"
"We need help over here!" Bruce yelled.
"Help me." The man grabbed Bruce's arm in a panic. "I can't feel my legs."
Kris ran around to the other side of the man and took his hand. "It's okay, it's okay, just calm down."
"You're going to be okay, you hear me?" Bruce said firmly. He looked at the man's nametag. "Wallace. What do they call you, Wally? Huh?"
Wallace breathed heavily for a moment. "You're the boss, Boss."
Several men ran over to the three of them. Kris let go of his hand and took hold of his arm and shoulder. Another man did the same for his other arm.
Bruce and the others who had come to help lifted the steel beam off Wallace while Kris and the man pulled him out.
She winced when she saw that his legs had been severely damaged by the beam, and she could see the exposed bone and muscle.
"I can't feel my legs," Wallace panicked. "I can't…I can't feel my legs."
Kris took his hand again. "It's gonna be okay. You need to calm down or you'll make it worse. Just breathe, okay? Breathe."
Bruce took off running. Kris looked over and saw a girl about to get crushed by a piece of falling debris. He ran over to the girl and grabbed her. Kris flinched as the piece of stone crashed to the ground, and she couldn't tell if Bruce had made it clear or not. She had a feeling he had, but she wasn't sure and that made her nervous.
She released her grip on Wallace's hand and ran over to the pile of debris. When she looked up, a cluster of meteors fell to earth with two fighting bodies right in the middle of them. She could barely make out the two bodies, but if the news reports were correct, that was Superman and Zod. As awesome as it was to finally be able to see the famous superhero with her own eyes, this had not been the first 'meeting' she had envisioned.
Kris ran around the huge pile of crumbled building. "Bruce!" she called when she saw him embracing the little girl he had saved.
Bruce looked over at her and his eyes widened in panic. "KRISTINA!"
His wife turned just in time to see a pile of stone from the destroyed building beside her fall in her direction.
Kris screamed.
