This is going to be a series of short one-shot/drabbles based on the new Man of Steel movie. I've never really been interested in Superman before, so most of what I know is from the film, but feel free to make requests xx

It only takes a second, a fraction of a second, but his fingers tremble like he's vulnerable to the cold.

It's all over.

He sinks to his knees and a sound rises in his throat, a scream too terrible to be unleashed. But it is anyway and maybe it has a super power of its own, a sonic scream of some kind.

It doesn't.

His heart shatters into fragments as he looks at Lois and even though he can see her holding him he can't feel it. He's numb.

He's felt alone for so long, because up until now he's known no one of his kind. He has now and he still feels alone.

And this time it's true.

Only it's his fault.

His fingers tremble as he clutches onto Lois' jacket and the numbness is overtaken by pain.
