A few days before Superman and Doomsday had both died, Superman and Batman had hatched a plan to rid the world of Kryptonite. On the day that they had flung all that they had collected into the Sun, Doomsday had appeared and we all know what happened after that....the death of the worlds greatest Superhero. But our hero returned.....defeating the impossible and coming back from the dead. However this story takes place a few years later.
Chapter 1
Sometime in 2015...
Clark woke up and had that sudden feeling that something wasnt right. It had been many years of fighting crime and upholding the American Way. He had never looked better and felt as great as he did, although he had the nagging sense that something just wasnt right. It started a few days ago, it hadnt felt like anything dangerous, it just didnt seem right. He had just come off a long and hard trip collecting all the Kryptonite on earth with the help of Batman, his best friend, and had given him a ring with a small piece of Kryptonite, just in case. He knew that Bruce was a good man.
He knew that Bruce would do anything to help him, and wondered if perhaps Bruce had the same nagging feeling. He decided to call him and picked up his phone and dialed the number.
"What is it S?" came Bruce's gruff voice.
"Is that anyway to greet a friend when they call you," Clark said jokingly.
"Well, considering that Im kinda busy, yeah it is. Whats up Kent?" Bruce asked rudely.
"Just checking how things are going. We havent kept in contact, since we rid the world of 'K', so Im just checking in with you to see if everythings alright."
"Yeah Clark, everythings cool, Waynetech is keeping me extremely busy, with new acquisitions and contracts. Otherwise everythings hunky dory," said Bruce
"Glad to hear that, I'll probably come by a little later, if you dont mind," Clark said.
"Yeah sure, see you then," said Bruce and quickly ended the call and got back to his work.
That evening, Clark changed into his costume and hovered above Metropolis as he always did, scanning the city to make sure that everything in his adopted city was alright. The crime rate was down, and his love life had never been better, as Lois had accepted his proposal and the 2 had agreed to marry in Spring the next year. Lex Luthor was in jail, serving his life sentence, for crimes against humanity. Ma and Pa Kent were doing well and were extremely happy to find out that their son was getting married. For once, everything was going just the way the worlds greatest hero had wanted them to.
But why, why this nagging feeling, that something just wasnt right? He couldnt understand it. He had every reason to be happy, and to finally start enjoying his life, and yet this irritating annoying feeling just wouldn't go away. Was it maybe the fact that he and Batman had thrown the remainder of Earths Kryptonite into the sun, seemingly destroying all of it?
Suddenly, his super hearing kicked in..."somebody help me...help me please." He flew towards the outskirts of the city from where the cries of help were coming from and saw a woman trapped in a dead end of an alley, being attacked by a hooded figure.
He quickly flew to the scene, and made short work of the attacker. He tied him up, and flew the attacker to the police station and afterwards flew the woman home.
She thanked him with a kiss on the cheekand said "Thank you Superman." He smiled and replied "Its why Im here" and flew off to patrol the city once again.
The city was safe, and so Superman flew to Gotham to check up on Batman. He found Bruce in the Batcave, having a little chat with Alfred. Clark really liked and respected Alfred Pennyworth, the man who had practically raised Bruce Wayne. Alfred was always making funny and sarcastic remarks, but Clark knew that Alfred loved Bruce, not only as his master, but as a son too.
"Evening Master Kent," Alfred greeted. "Evening Alfred," said Clark, "Hey B, what are you working on?" when Clark looked at the computer screen.
"Radiation levels of the sun," Bruce said seriously, "some debris that a Waynetech rocket collected near the sun is showing signs of strengthening since exposed to the sun."
"Wow, sounds serious," Clark said, "think it has anything to do with all the Kryptonite we threw into it?"
"Not possible," replied Batman, "the sun would have destroyed the kryptonite completely," Bruce continued.
"Should it be considered dangerous?" asked Clark.
"At the moment, its difficult to say," replied Bruce, "but I'll be monitoring it just in case."
"Alright, then Im outta here, I gotta go back to Metropolis."
The Blue Boyscout took to the skies and promptly made his way back to Metropolis and back home to the love of his life Lois Lane.
