An interesting twist into the coming of Doomsday...the abomination that killed Superman.

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 3:

"Everything seems to be alright Superman," said Professor Hamilton. "Based on the blood and saliva samples you've given me, you are in perfect health. This could just be a once off thing."

"But I dont understand how my nose would all of a sudden just start to bleed," replied only time I am able to bleed, is if Im exposed to Kryptonite,
and thats not possible because we destroyed all of it."

"Thats what gets to me too," said Professor Hamilton. "Tell you what, let me do a few more tests on those samples, and see if I might've missed out on anything," Dr Jones suggested.

"Alright Doc, thank you very much," said Superman as he got up and flew out the lab.

He wondered, why his nose had started to bleed as he flew over the city. Could he be sick, even though he was immune to Earths viruses and diseases? And suddenly that feeling came back, the nagging feeling. It had increased quite a bit over the last few days. But he just couldnt figure out what it was. As he flew home, he took a look at himself in the mirror. He looked surprisingly pale. He thought about the kryptonite that he and Bruce had thrown into the sun, and wondered if that had anything to do with it. Suddenly,
a very human chill went down his spine. He remembered Bruce mentioning that debris exposed to the suns radiation had become stronger. Bruce hadnt thought that it was because of Kryptonite. In fact he said it was impossible because the sun would have destroyed it. But, what if it didnt? What if it was because of the kryptonite that they had seemmingly destroyed?

Superman wondered if the kryptonite was turning Earths yellow sun into a red sun, and maybe thats why his nose had began to bleed. Impossible! he thought, Bruce would've picked up on any signs of that. Superman didnt feel sick, in fact he felt great, save for looking really pale, but he felt great, in fact stronger. He decided to visit Gotham, and go and check up on Bruce. In less then 30 seconds, he was there at the batcave.

"Geez, Clark, you scared the crap outta me," said Bruce, as Clark tapped him on the shoulder.

"Sorry, but I thought the Dark Knight fears nothing," grinned Clark, as Bruce rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing here anyway, I thought you were spending time with your lovely wife," Bruce asked, annoyed that Clark had gotten him like that.

"I need to talk to you, about the kryptonite we threw into the Sun," Clark said getting very serious.

"Why, what happened?" asked Bruce, noticing the serious tone in Clarks voice.

Clark explained to Bruce what had happened over the last few days. Bruce was shocked to learn that Clarks nose had begun to bleed.

How the hell did this happen, thought Bruce to himself, and suddenly a very nagging realisation came upon him. Could it be the Kryptonite that they threw into the sun?

"I dunno what to say Clark," said Batman after some thought.

"That makes 2 of us," replied Clark.

Bruce decided that they should run some tests on Clark, to see if he may have been losing his powers.

--------------------

Superman threw a punch at Batman, which Batman dodged. Superman thought, for a human, he sure he is fast. Batmans punch connected with Supermans nose, and he suddenly pulled his hand back and bent over it in pain.

"Damn Clark, your friggin nose is hard," he said. Clark smiled and went over to help Bruce. "Are you alright miss," he said sarcastically. Bruce grinned and said "Screw you."

They spent the rest of the day sparring in a fight simulator, which involved Bruce using alot of weapons, such as swords, knives and even shooting Clark, all of which broke upon contact with Clark, and the bullets simply bounced off.

"It doesnt look like its anything serious Clark," Bruce said after taking a long sip of water from his bottle, "Do you think it might just be a once off thing?"

"Bruce, as far as I can remember, I have never bled except for that time with Doomsday," Clark said as he shuddered thinking of it.

"To me it looks like it could just be a once off thing Clark,since it doesnt look like you losing any powers, in fact according to the vital stats I think you might even be stronger," Bruce said.

"Wait a minute Bruce, the other day, you mentioned something about debris increasing after being exposed to the radiation of the Sun, didn't you?" Clark said.

"Yeah, but whats that gotta do with anything," Bruce asked looking confused.

"Am I also increasing in strength, after being exposed to the Sun," Clark said.

"It would seem that way, man, this is getting complicating," Bruce said after a while. "Lets get some food, Im starving," said Bruce, changing the topic.

"Yeah, I could go for a pizza right now, extra cheese, salami, and lotsa onions," Clark quipped.

Bruce set to ordering the pizza over the phone, while Clark took a swim in the huge pool that Bruce had inside his Wayne Manor mansion. After 45 minutes, 4 large pizzas, with extra cheese, extra salami and extra onions were delivered by a rather cute looking girl, who took a good look inside Wayne Manor, while Bruce was paying her. She smiled at him, as he closed the door and went to the lounge where Clark was chilling.

"Soups up," Bruce called.

"Great, Im so hungry I could eat a horse," Clark said as they sat down to mouthfuls of pizza. They both were very quiet as they devoured the 4 boxes of pizza. They both took big gulps of their sodas and suddenly Wayne Manor shook, as both in unison went "BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP."
