Batman v Superwoman
Dawn of Justice
Prologue
Screams, screams for miles, calls for help, cries of children, an entire city in panic and terror. A young woman stood in the epicenter of this event, in a giant hole in the middle of the city a woman laid on her back motionless. She was wearing what appeared to be a one piece denim blue suit with a red stylized "S" on her chest, light blue gauntlet designs on her wrists, red boots, and a red cape attached to her shoulders. The woman herself appeared to be in her early twenties, Caucasian skin, free flowing black hair that went to her neck. She looked like she was at least 6'1" with an amazon-esque figure that could be seen through the suit showing off power and beauty, even with all that her most striking feature was her eyes they were blue but it was an unnatural vivid shade as if it wasn't from this world. They were deep, beautiful, and sad, tears streaming down her face, this woman's name is Claire Josephine Kent, and she could hear everything.
She could hear the people, mourning their dead, crying out in pain, begging for some kind of mercy from anyone who would listen. Claire was listening and she wasn't sure if she could give it to them
"I have so much power, I did so much to prevent this, but it wasn't enough, people are suffering and I can't save them" Claire thought still laid prone on the ground
"Why can't I save them, why am I so…helpless" that word echoed throughout Claire's mind.
Images ran through her mind faster than she could put them together, a freeway, people running, rushing winds, and a man standing in the road with his hand out a look of acceptance and refusal.
"Claire…Claire are you okay" a voice said as it snapped her out of her stupor she opened her blue eyes met another set of blue eyes
These eyes belonged to another woman. She wore a military flight suit her red hair done in a ponytail this woman was Lois Lane
"Are you hurt why are you crying" she asked concerned
Claire wiped her eyes as she slowly got back up "It's nothing I'm okay what about you" she said in a passive tone.
"A little banged up but I would've been worse if it wasn't for you" Lois said as she looked up into the sky
There was a part in the clouds in the shape of a hole "It worked we sent them all to the Phantom Zone, we did it Claire it's over" Lois said in a happy and relieved tone.
Claire was about to reply until she heard it among the sea of heartbeats, they were all erratic, fast, and panicked but there was one that was slow and calm it was only a few block away from her
"No…it's not over yet" she said in a serious tone.
She slowly began to raise herself floating two feet from the ground and flew toward the source of the heartbeat, she landed only few yards away from the source. The source was in front of a wreckage of a vessel not of this world, it was a man clothed in a black armor with an unearthly design, and he was kneeled on the ground gripping the ash before him. His black hair was cut in a militaristic style his hazel eyes were distant and empty, this man was Zod general of the Kryptonian army, and he and Claire are the only Kryptonians left in the universe. Claire slowly approached the man and stopped when he moved his head up his eyes meeting hers, he lifted his hand showing her the ash as the wind blew it away.
"Look at this…we could have built a new Krypton in this squalor" Zod said, his voice sad and shaking.
Claire knew that by destroying the ship she destroyed any chance of bring new life Kryptonians
"I know, but I couldn't let you destroy my home" Claire said in a sympathetic tone
"Your home…Krypton was your home, these were your people, you could've been a queen to the next generation, but you choose the humans over us" Zod said his voice still shaking.
Claire could see it in his eyes there was no hope, no passion, just despair
"I exist only to protect Krypton, that is the sole purpose for which I was born, and every action I take no matter how violent or how cruel was for the good of my people…and now I have no people" Zod said as he rose from his knees anger building up in his voice.
Claire took a step back and brought her arms up she saw the anger building up inside him
"My soul…that is what you took from me" Zod growled fist clenched his eyes dead set on Claire
"Zod please it doesn't have to be like this, there is still hope for the future you just need to…" Claire didn't finish her sentence as the air was knocked out of her, Zod ran to her with inhuman speed and rammed his shoulder into her chest sending her skidding across the ground for yards. Claire grunted as she bounced across the burned earth finally coming to a stop landing on her side she laid there coughing trying to bring the air back into her lungs, she brought her head up to see Zod slowly marching towards her
"I'm going to make them suffer Kala these humans you've adopted, I will take them all from you one-by-one" Zod said in cold merciless tone.
Claire knew he meant every single word he said he went to genocide when he had an army and a functioning genesis chamber, but now he had nothing to live for, nothing to him hold back, nothing to move him but his hatred and anger.
"No you won't, I'll stop you" Claire said as the dust and stones around her began to float as she rose to from the ground and faced him.
They both stared each other down the tension thick in the air Zod made the first move rushing towards Claire like rocket, Claire reacted quickly flying towards Zod even faster and tackling him and sending them both high into the sky.
"I have no idea what I am doing" Claire thought as she flew higher carrying Zod, this thought could be used to describe her entire day.
She had no idea what she was doing all she could do was react to what was in front of her to the best of her own ability, and that lead to her getting into a street brawl with a crazy female soldier in the middle of her home town and half of a major city being reduced to rubble. She was in a situation she was not prepared for but she knew one thing this fight couldn't be in the city
"I have to take him someplace deserted like the Appalachian Mountains or the Mojave Desert, someplace where no one will get hurt and I can think of some way to stop him" Claire thought as she attempted to direct her flight path to the ocean.
Zod grabbed her by the hair and brought his knee to her chin. Claire was no longer flying but the speed from her launch kept them both in the air Zod still with a grip on her hair flipped them both in midair making sure he was over him and kicked both his legs onto her body, Claire gasped as she was launched back down to the city. She landed in a building that was in a part of the city that wasn't hit a bad as the rest, she used her flight power to stop herself from going completely through the building, she quickly scanned the building with her eyes seeing through a the steel and brick seeing that there was still a lot of people in the building. She heard a gasp from behind her and turned to see a group of terrified people behind her, Zod then came crashing through one of the office windows glaring angrily at Claire.
"I'll get him out of the building but you need to get everyone out here, go, GO NOW" Claire yelled to the people behind her
She turned to face Zod but saw he was in some kind of discomfort she then saw the veins around his eyes glow and she knew what was going to happen.
"No…no, no, NO" Claire screamed as she leapt towards Zod attempting to knock him out of the building
An intense red beam came from his eyes and hit Claire in the chest she flew past the people who were running from the fight and out of the building.
She was sent four blocks away from the building but could see Zod's heat vision tearing the building apart, she eventually hit another building that killed her momentum sending her down into the street. She picked herself up off the ground and could only watch as the building she was previously in began to crumble and fall to the ground many people still inside it, her eyes widen as she prepared to launch herself into the air to try and save anyone from the building. Zod landed in front of her and kicked a tanker truck towards her she saw this and lifted herself off the ground going over the truck as it impacted the building behind her exploding.
As she landed she saw that there were people all around them, some looking in awe and other running trying to get away
"Run…please for the love of god…RUN" she screamed to all the onlookers
She was then knocked to the ground Zod landing a punch to her cheek it hurt but she knew she couldn't dwell on it getting up quickly and dodging Zod's next attack.
Claire had never been in a fight before in her entire life why start a fight you know that you'll always win, but during the course of this day she has had to fight people as strong and fast as her with military training so she had to. She threw two jabs to Zod's head and body both were blocked and countered with his own body blow sending her skidding back, she managed to stay on her feet
"Maybe some self-defense courses won't be so bad" Claire thought clutching her stomach
Zod came upon Claire with a wide hook she ducked underneath it and launched a punch to Zod's side sending him into a car, as Zod picked himself up Claire took the air both hands above her head and flew down like a meteor crashing her fists to the back of his head sending him to the ground. She attempted to follow up with another smashing strike but a car from the collapsing parking lot landed on her as she threw it off her Zod kicked her in the gut, she went tumbling back holding her gut. She went through her whole life being indestructible but now she felt pain
"This must be how boxers feel during a match" Claire thought knowing she probably has a bruises from Zod's previous hit
Before she could right herself Zod hit her with a right sending head to the side and followed up with an uppercut that sent her head and her whole body flying upward. She soared up bouncing off the building she was in front of stopping herself a little bit above the roof of the building.
"There's only one way this ends Kala either you die or I do" Zod yelled up to her from the ground
Claire's eyes widen she didn't know what she was doing even if she won where could she put Zod, there was no way to open another Phantom Zone, and there was no prison on earth that could hold him. Claire grimaced and replied
"I won't kill you Zod" she said honestly despite all that happened she couldn't take his life she knew she wasn't a judge, jury, or executioner
"Then you and this world will die" Zod screamed as he leapt from the ground and began scaling the building
Claire launched herself from the sky towards Zod, she had no plan but she knew she couldn't let Zod do as he pleased.
They both collided shattering multiple windows on the building Claire was able to knock Zod toward a construction site she corrected herself in midair and flew to follow him. She landed on the top floor and scanned for Zod not that she needed to Zod was yelling holding a steel girder and was ready knock Claire's head off like a baseball. Claire looked up and saw Zod she fired her heat vision melting the girder before it hit her head, Claire shook her head blinking her eyes she wasn't used to firing her heat vision at that intensity Zod took the opening hitting her with the girder stub in the back swing. Her back hit another support and she grabbed onto it to keep herself up
"I was bred to be a warrior Kala, trained my entire life to master my senses, where did you train...ON A FARM" he yelled as squatted to the ground
Claire saw the dust rise and couldn't believe it not even the other soldiers could do that. Zod began to tear off his armor piece by piece revealing a suit similar to Claire only black and with a different symbol, the pieces of armor began to float off the ground as Zod rose above Claire. Claire knew the situation just got so much worse
"I don't know what will happen afterwards, but I need to stop Zod now before he razes the entire planet to nothing" Claire thought as she rocketed towards Zod Tackling him through multiple steel beams, their fight was now brought to the sky.
Claire gripped Zod's collar as they went to the sky and fired a punch nailing Zod in the cheek, but he had a grip on Claire's suit and they both went down still high above street level Zod then kicked Claire sending her flying. Claire grunted as she flew seeing Zod coming for her she regained control and dodged Zod attack, she attempted her own attack but Zod dodged as well. Zod came in with an overhead smash Claire caught the fist and kicked Zod in the stomach sending him soaring through the city, Claire pursued launching multiple punches that kept Zod in the air and kept him disoriented. She hoped to keep pushing him out of the city but Zod regained control and flew closer towards the street, Claire followed flying past buildings at blinding speeds trying to catch up with Zod. She stopped when she lost sight of Zod, she was going to scan again but heard a crash and turned to the building she was in front of to see Zod burrow through it and tackle Claire throwing her into a building. She flew out and grabbed Zod by the face pushing him into a building and dragging him across the stone and glass, once they reached the edge Claire reared back her fist intending to send Zod into the sky again but he caught it countering with a shot to the body and an uppercut. Before Claire could go to high Zod grabbed her cape and began spinning her around before throwing her. Claire let out a scream as she soared through the city even crashing through a building and passing terrified people none of which she hit during her tumble she thought slightly relieved. She stopped herself in midair upside down trying to regain her wits, she never got the chance as Zod slammed into her going higher and higher.
They eventually passed the atmosphere and were in space, Claire held her breath and grabbed Zod throwing out towards the void she finally was able to collect herself and saw that Zod landed on a satellite kicking it towards her. Claire thought she could keep this fight in space she brought her arms out intending to catch it and throw it back intending to bring him to the moon, her eyes widened as she watched Zod charge through it and tackle her again. They went through the atmosphere again re-entry turning them and the satellite wreckage into burning streaks across the sky, Zod kept punching Claire in the face
"I gave you a chance to join us, to rule the next generation by my side, to have an actual connection with people who would understand you" he yelled still punching.
Claire heard him through the punches and remembered his offer earlier in the day
"You will never be one of them Kala, you can't have family, you won't find love, you-are-alone"
Claire finally caught the fist and flipped them around she then then began raining punching on him as the came closer and closer to the earth, for one instant Claire eyes left Zod and went towards the city bellow her, every eye in Metropolis was on her each with fear and awe all except one. One set of Hazel eyes was on her but not with fear or awe, they were filled with anger, determination, and sadness, Claire could see the fury behind those eyes and also something else something hidden deep within them. She didn't catch this person face as Zod grabbed her trying to push her away but Claire re-asserted focus to him and kept up the pressure slamming them both into what was a train station.
They hit one of the columns and Claire still holding on to Zod slammed him into the marble floor. People ran and screamed as Claire got behind Zod and hooked one arm around his and another around his neck, she kicked him in the back of his leg bring him to one knee and giving her leverage she needs
"He still has lungs and they still need air, just keep him down and cut him off don't let go no matter what" Claire thought as she increased the pressure on Zod's neck making him flail his free arm, choking and gaging.
"If you love these people so much…you can mourn for them" Zod said between breathes
Claire opened her eyes seeing a family stood in front them trying to get away, Zod then fired his heat vision pinning the family against a wall moving his head slightly to the beamed inched towards them. Claire's eyes widened as she tried putting more pressure on his neck trying to knock him out, she then tried flying but Zod kept them on the ground with his own strength, she thought about covering his eyes but if she let go of this hold he would get free and do god know what to everybody here, with no other options or ideas Claire begged.
"Don't do this Zod" Claire screamed but the beam came closer and closer
"Zod stop" she yelled with no answer from him she heard the mother scream no
"ZOD STOP PLEASE" she yelled desperately the children cried
"PLEASE" she screamed with tears in her Zod finally replied with
"NEVER" Zod said coldly
The father and mother held their children as the beam came closer Claire heard one of the children whisper
"I'm sorry Ma"
Claire's eyes went wide with tears as more memories of the man flooded her mind. She grit her teeth and let out a primal yell as she grabbed Zod's head and neck and twisted both in the opposite direction. A sickening crack was heard through the building everything froze Claire, Zod, the people, and Lois who just entered the building, Zod fell to the ground his neck twisted in an odd angle. Claire's breathes were heavy as she looked around at the people staring at her, she looked at her hands her breath quickened, and finally to the body on the floor. Her breath stopped as she stared into Zod lifeless eyes, he was dead, she killed him, she killed the only other Kryptonian with her own hands, and she was alone. She fell to her knees letting out a pained scream that echoed throughout the entire city more tears streamed down her face as she sobbed, she heard a step and her head snapped up to see Lois walking towards her
"Claire…" Lois said concerned for her friend
But that was all Lois was able to get out until Claire shot up into the sky faster than she could see leaving the body there. Claire flew still crying and in hysterics at what she has done, she eventually landed in front of a destroyed barn where an elderly woman sat on the porch with a dog. The woman had brown greying hair her green eyes were kind, compassionate, and understanding, Claire walked up to the woman falling to her knees tears still streaming down her face.
The woman approached Claire clearly concerned for her, Claire finally whispered between her sobs
"I'm Sorry Ma"
She completely broke down sobbing hugging the woman's leg, the woman knelt down and embraced Claire allowing her to cry on her shoulder, they stayed in that spot for hours.
Hi Everyone the writer here
I have been planning this story ever since I heard of BvS release, read RogueAngel82 Superwoman story on this site, and a number of other fem Clark stories across the web. I'm not even the first to do this that would go to LittleRedRidingHood on Archiveofourown. Please read and support both of these authors stories and any other work they have planned in the future.
While I did not Hate BvS It for me like it did for many others did let me down, the only thing that I'm really upset about with the movie is the treament of Superman. He was good and I did like him and felt for him, but he felt like a secondary character in what should of been his movie. Some of that was corrected with the Ultimate edition but still you know. This Story will be focused on Clark/Claire and what they are going through as the story progresses with some cuts to other characters when it calls for it. I will also make some changes and add some characters that I believe will improve the story.
Two main points I want to make now are that the fight between Superwoman and Batman will be instigated by the both of them with prodding by Lex Luthor Martha will be Kidnapped but neither will know when they start fighting. The story will take place in a longer time span like months longer than what the movie did in order to setup certain relationships and plot points.
I hope you all enjoy my story:)
