A blazing red sun, a shattered earth with heroes of a golden age lying atop a scorched planet, tattered and broken, as a cape of red adorned with the yellow shield of El swayed with embers from the now darkened earth. Flying off the pole it had attached to, the cape traveled with a heated breeze along with embers, passing a figured covered in an ever moving shadow along with eyes of fire, that stood above shattered legends, looking towards the observer before raising his hand towards them, speaking with a voice that shook a being to its core, and left heaven trembling, "The end is here, your champion has fallen, and I have arrived now you will kneel before your new lord, and master….Kneel before darkness." The power of a force soon burns and scorches all that stands in its way, an Omega power which covered all existence, all the while the being covered in shadow and fire grinned in triumph.
Kon-El shot upwards from his bed panting and in a cold sweat, before placing his hands to mask his face as he trembled, his bare skin feeling the cool air, until a hand as soft and warm as the clouds he had constantly looked up at felt, gripped his shoulder, ending his shaking. Eyes of blue stared into eyes as red as Mars surface, and skin as white as snow, he was happy she finally decided to show more of her true self, he loved it, he loved M'gann. Both heros stayed close to one another, letting silence envelope them for moment as they stared deeply into each other's eyes, while their hands laced tightly together. It had only been a week since their League had successfully freed their mentors, and saved the world from the fake light; Vandal Savage. However to Kon-El, Savage was the least of his problems, he thought as he continued to stare in his girlfriend's eyes.
"What's wrong Kon-El….and please talk to me this time, It's your nightmare again isn't it? What is it that you're seeing that…that keeps making you tremble…I worry enough about you as it is, but it's just because I love you, but.…I can feel your pain even without my powers. What is it about this dream that hurts you? I can't stand seeing you like this."
Kon-El combed through his raven hair, before cupping Megan's face, deciding that he needed to let her in. The nightmare had begun after the battle with the League, and it continued to recur, dead heroes and a being that caused it all with an awesome power that shook existence. When It had occurred once more he choose, regrettably at first to push her away whenever she tried to help him get through the darkness that loomed in his mind, Kon-El acknowledged that it was time to swallow his pride, and finally open up to at least one person, and who better than the women he loved, as long as it was only her though.
Leaning down Kon-El linked their lips, letting his body relax as Megan returned the kiss, filling him with emotions of security, excitement, and peace which he believed to be part of the many aspects of love. Gently pulling away from their soft but loving kiss, Kon-El nodded to her, answering her question and request. Still holding her hand, he let out a sigh before speaking.
"I keep seeing the same figure, covered in shadow and fire, I don't know who or what he is but….it feels so real…the dream I mean. I can feel the fire, I can smell scorched earth, and I can…feel this power that just swallows everything, I was scared. I shouldn't have been scared, I'm meant to become the Superman, but I was scared by this thing and I… I hate that" He admitted.
M'gann moved strands of amber hair behind her ear before leaning up, kissing his cheek, before pulling him into her, holding him as close as possible wanting him to find comfort with her presence. Giving herself a moment to decide what to say, M;gann turned towards their one-way, full wall window that gave them a beautiful view of the sea crashing against , this was one of the many perks that came with having their room at the very side of the mountain, along with the privacy. Smiling softly from the calming sound of waves, and pale moonlight that shined down into their room of silver and wood furniture, atop a dark hardwood floor, Megan couldn't help but feel, despite Kon-Els trouble that there wasn't any other place where she could help him find peace then here.
"I'm right here, Superboy, I'll always be right here with you. So don't be afraid of whatever you come across because you won't be alone, you got me, and the team. I think your nightmare, the being that you see, is your 'inner demon' I heard my uncle use that term to describe why batman fights like he does, except batman has more than one, anyway, I think your inner demon is your fear for not being strong enough to save us or not reaching the expectations of…umm…him…." She spoke softly but ended weekly. He would know who she was referring to "I think maybe he can help you…you're both different in every way, but, you both put the weight of the world on your shoulders. He seems to respect you; after all, you did beat him." She said, hoping to coax his confidence back.
Kon-El smirked, knowing the truth, he had only went toe to toe with the Man of Steel, but still, he couldn't help but feel a since of pride with having exchanged blows with the champion of earth, although some of the hits were more personal rather than trying to save him.
"I promise we'll figure something out with him, you deserve it after all you've done. Umm Kon-El…please don't ever think you're not good enough to wear that shield on your chest. No matter what, you'll always be my champion, you're the teams Superman, I know that you'll do amazing things in the future, I believe in you, and so does the team, so this demon of yours…you'll beat it, you'll win, just like you always have" M'gann explained with a tone leaving no room for doubt, or argument.
Kon-El smiled a true smile, one that only she had the privilege of seeing, after all she was the only one who could make it appear. She always said the right things.
"Thank you M'gann….for everything, I know I don't say this enough but I….I love you."
Before she could respond, the Boy of Steel pulled the pale Martian into another kiss, pouring out his emotions of affection that he still didn't know how to put fully into words. After a few moments, maybe hours, Kon-El reluctantly pulled away from her lips before laying back into their white sheets, keeping M'gann atop of him. Despite his troubles, it was her that gave him peace, so with the most important and precious person in his life so close to him and smiling down on him, and a body along with heart warmed by love, the young Kryptonian had no trouble drifting to sleep, with his dreams filled with blue skies, and a yellow sun.
AN: I really enjoyed watching the Young Justice series, and Superboy, along with his relationship has to be my favorite aspect of the show. Any way I look forward to writing more on my own version of season 2. Well I hope you'll enjoy the rest of my story, please review on what you think or PM if you have anything you'd want me to add to future chapters. So long for now, see you in Chapter 2, DC forever.
