Lovelybutterfly17 - Well, how nice of you! haha. I'm glad that you liked it, even if it was a little heart breaking here and there. That is probably the worst of them all, though this one has a couple moments too, so you're warned! haha.

alexindigo - It just sort of fit, didn't it? haha. Yeah, I miss her too, did you watch Erica on Charlies Angels? Amazing as always! haha.

Mpj891 - Well, hopefully I can give it an ending worth suffering through the sad bits! haha.

a friend - I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully it continues to be to your taste!

anon - So uh, haha, did you like the chapter? haha.

Ironman29758 - I think we'll see the main core of characters at the very least. Losing someone like Clark would be pretty devastating for everyone around him for one reason or another, so there's plenty of material to draw from. As for who I'd like to see play Batman and Wonder Woman, my vote goes to Matt Bomer and Jaimie Alexander.

There's going to be some that come straight from the comics. This chapter is pretty much based on a panel with Batman and Wonder Woman. Other chapters will be more influenced by the show. I've tried to blend the show, the comics, and the movies (mostly the Superman films) to try and create a feel where everybody (hopefully) gets stuff they like.

I look forward to hearing what you think about my other stuff too!

NessieBell - You know, I've written action before, but at some point, you're really just kind of writing "Clark punched him. Then Doomsday punched him. Then Clark punched him. Then Doomsday punched him." haha. I figured that we all can imagine the actual fight, lets get into the heart break.

The Doomsday line is straight out of the comics, but I figured that Clark would be thinking about who will pick up the slack when he is gone like he was when he was going to leave with the Kandorians. Well, that was the idea! hahaha. I wanted to use the vows there, I figured it would really hit home, so the tears mean I did it right! haha

TIBP906 - Well, this will probably be the story for you then, haha.

IrishUnicorn - I'm glad that you liked it!

Jeremy Shane - Your wish is my command! haha.

Rating: K

Pairing: Bruce/Diana, Clois

Disclaimer: If I owned Smallville or it's characters, I wouldn't have stopped at ten seasons and this would be saved for an eleventh season.

Summary: The story takes a look at how the Death of Superman affects the ones closest to him, including but not limited to the Justice League, Lex Luthor, and of course, Lois Lane.

Chapter: #2

Author's Note: Same warning as Part 1, it's a lot more serious because of the obvious topic. This scene is inspired from one of the comic panels that features Batman and Wonder Woman's reaction to Clark's death.

Sorry it took so long to get this up, I have to admit, I've been very distracted by Arkham City, haha.


She sprinted past Alfred...she didn't have time to exchange the pleasantries...

So many people had called her.

Barry had called...Arthur...J'onn had told her telepathically what had happened. But she wasn't ready to believe any of them... She wasn't going to believe anything until she heard it from him.

She jumped down the stairs to the Cave, she knew every step and every crook like the back of her hand. She wasn't going to stop until she got to him. She wasn't going to stop until she got to him and he told her the truth.

"It has now been confirmed, Superman was pronounced dead at the scene...the nation is in mourning."

Diana saw him sitting in his chair, watching the news on the Bat-Computer. It stopped her dead.

He was silent.

"Bruce? Is it...is it true?" He didn't answer. "Bruce! I'm talking to you!"

"We're going to need to build the League stronger next time..." he answered, his voice cracking.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Bruce..."

She had never heard the weakness in his voice that she just heard. She had never seen or heard him be anything but the strongest man she knew, at heart. But then...then she remembered all that he had told her...all that Alfred had told her... She remembered how bad he was with death...but for once...Bruce wasn't in denial.

She could see his shoulders shaking from there.

It was true.

Diana ran to him, wrapping her arms around his torso. Bruce let the sobs take his body over.

"Why... Why did we let him die alone... Why was he alone, Diana?" asked Bruce, tears falling.

She had never seen him like this. Never.

"Wasn't that the whole point of this? That we wouldn't have to face things alone? That we'd be there for each other when we needed them the most? But not Clark. We let him die in the middle of the street...alone. We let him die and I can't figure out why. I can't...he was my best friend...and I wasn't there..." whispered Bruce, his head hanging.

Diana spun his chair and knelt down in front of him, lifting his head. "I'm so sorry..."

"Why-"

"Clark never would have put us in harms way like that... he knew what he was facing... he knew that it was pure evil... he cared too much to ask us, to put us in the middle of that," she cried. "He died to protect us..."

Bruce trembled, "I would have helped him-"

"I know. I know you would have. We all would have," she told him, cupping his cheek. He leaned his face just slightly into her touch, Diana rubbed her thumb over his cheek bone.

"What are we going to do?"

Diana looked away for a second, shaking her head. "We'll be strong," she said, turning back to look him in the eye. "We'll be strong for the League. We'll be strong for the world, Bruce."

They shared a long look. Each other daring to say what the other one was thinking.

Bruce slowly lifted his hand to cup her cheek, and just as he mimicked her motion, she leaned into his touch just as he had done to hers. As he leaned down towards her lips, he whispered, "We'll be strong for each other."

Alfred watched them for a moment from the stairs as their lips met.

'Dark and dangerous days are ahead of us,' he considered as he turned from the Cave. 'But maybe, despite all the pain and wreckage of Master Clark's death, something good may still come. Master Bruce always said that Master Clark could rise above all the darkness the world could offer because he had a light inside of him. Because of Miss Lois.

Maybe, just maybe, Master Bruce can find that light inside of himself as well. Because of Miss Diana. Maybe, they will be able to see the good left in this world. And that it's worth fighting for. Together.'


Author's Note: Well, what did you guys think? Like I had said before, this was going to cover multiple characters and this time around we see Bruce and Diana's reaction to Clark's death. There was a great panel from the comics that was used for the bulk of the inspiration, but I've always fancied a scene between Bruce and Diana like this.

For those of you from my KM or KM story, you know that I've coupled Bruce and Diana together and this has long been one of my "how it happened" ideas. Hope you guys liked it! The next chapter will feature three new characters (to the story) with the lovely Miss Lane, so don't miss that one! Shoot me a review and let me know what you thought!
