Chapter 4: Last Kiss- Taylor Swift
I never thought we'd have a last kiss. Never imagined we'd end like this. Your name forever the name on my lips. Just like our last kiss.
It had been a couple of days since Lois had seen Clark. Because of causing chaos at work, Lois was sent home by Perry for an "early maternity leave"... even though she wasn't due for another 3 months. Apparently she drove the entire office crazy and being home, doing nothing was driving her crazy. She hated being indoors when all the action was just outside her window. Clark suggested it was safe to just rest for a healthy pregnancy and after 2 straight days of fighting over it, Lois finally gave in as Clark made a valid point how she always tended to get herself in danger every time she stepped out into the world. With Clark being away saving the world and keeping up his persona at the bullpen, she barely saw her husband in the past week. As she was looking out the window, she sighed to herself, while caressing her belly. She felt a kick from inside her body and sighed, "I know munchkin. I'm bored too."
Suddenly, she heard screaming from outside. She looked out her balcony as she watched people down the streets running towards the same direction. Furrowing her eyebrows, Lois wondered what they were running towards... or what they were running from. She looked where everyone was running from and noticed a huge smoke cloud, almost like smoke from a nuclear explosion. It was far away but visible enough for her to see. "What the hell?" She felt a nudging in her belly, "Sorry baby. I promise it'll be the last time." Suddenly she saw a red and blue blur flying all around the smoke cloud. Lois' eyes widened as she ran from her balcony and grabbed her jacket and keys and ran out the door into the city.
Her car was blocked by hundreds of civilians running and screaming, some were wounded with blood all over them. She kept honking at everyone as anxiety took over, "Come on! MOVE!" Hitting her steering wheel hard she gave up and got out of the car, and started running the opposite direction as everyone else.
One man grabbed her by the arms and Lois' winced as he pulled her back, "What the hell are you thinking lady! Get out of here you're gonna get killed!"
Lois roughly shoved the man away from her, "What's going on?"
His forehead was sweating as he ran his fingers roughly throug his hair, looking behind her at the chaos ensuring from afar. Lois could tell he was traumatized, "Th-This creature with horns all over with blood shot red eyes is terrorizing the city! Superman and everyone are all out there fighting it off!" The man shuddered at the image that was still stuck in his head, "It's a crazy beast" He said under his breath fearfully.
Lois' eyes widened as her heart sank, "Doomsday." She whispered under her breath. As she was about to take off running the man grabbed her and yanked her back again.
"Are you crazy! Did you not hear what I said! Get away from there!" She kept struggling with him as Lois finally had it and decked him in the nose, which left him gushing blood as he covered his face.
Lois huffed, "I'm really sorry about that, but my husband is out there and I'm not running away while he could be in danger!" With that, she sprinted towards the chaos, bumping into everyone, squeezing through them as she tried to make her way towards her husband, fighting against the crowd while they all stared back at her wide eyed in shock, but were too busy getting away to stop her.
It had taken her a while to get there and as soon as she got close, she saw Superman fighting against Doomsday, throwing punches while in the air, while Batman shot at it with a bazooka. As soon as he fired the shot, Lois knew she had to run for cover. She hid behind a pillar and squeezed her eyes shut as she heard the explosion, the ground shook beneath her and she held her breath to calm herself down, leaning her head against the pillar. She turned around the pillar to see what was going on. Lois gasped as she took in Clark's torn suit, and dirty, bloodied face. She just wanted to run after him and make sure he didn't get affected by the bomb. He was stumbling under the rubbles, but seemed like he was recovering quickly... which meant it didn't do much damage to Doomsday either. She looked around the area and saw Cyborg unconscious on the ground. She ran towards him, kneeling down. "Victor! Victor can you hear me?" No response and Lois started to panic, "No, no please. Stay with me! Victor!"
At the sound of her voice, Victor groaned and Lois sighed of relief that he was still alive. Oil was gushing out of his stomach through his suit and she took off her jacket to apply pressure on the wound. She didn't know how bad the damage was compared to a human, but human or machine, she knew Victor couldn't afford to lose any more oil. Suddenly she felt herself being lifted up and turned around roughly by big hands. There she stood facing Clark who looked out of breath, but still had strength. "Lois what are you doing here!" He gripped her arms, speaking in a stern tone.
Lois swallowed hard, knowing she was going to be in trouble, "I-I heard what happened I wanted to know if you were okay-"
"NO LOIS! YOU CAN'T BE HERE RIGHT NOW!" He growled in anger which scared Lois. She had never seen him like this. He was furious at her.
"I was worried Clark! You know I can't stay away!" She placed her hands on his chest.
"Lois leave! Get away from here as fast as you can. I have J'onn covering for me but he can't hold out for long alone. You have to leave Lois!"
"No Clark! Not when you're-"
"LOIS!" He gripped her tighter, "Leave. I can't do this. I can't fight him knowing you're here. Please I need you to be safe. You can't be here." He spoke in a final hard, stern tone.
Lois sighed in defeat as she looked behind him where Doomsday was now battling it with Oliver as he shot him with his arrows, but it did no damage as he was knocked off his feet. Lois' mouth dropped as her heartbeat raced and suddenly, Wonder Woman came from behind Doomsday and trapped him down with her lasso while he struggled to untangle himself from it. She looked back at Clark and placed a hand on his cheek, "Please be careful." Clark eyes softened for the first time and he nodded at her. She wasn't ready to let him go yet, and so she crushed her lips against his in a passionate kiss. She cupped his face as his arms went around her waist. He hugged her close to him for only a brief moment, and then let her go, gently pushing her back.
"Go. Get away from here Lo. Go to Watchtower." Lois nodded and turned away from him. But her path was blocked by Supergirl, as Lois took a step back giving her a confused look as she lifted Lois up.
"You'll be safer if I fly you there Lois. Chloe's at Watchtower she'll give you updates." Lois turned around, but couldn't see Clark as they were in a cloud of dust. She sighed and nodded at Kara, who flew her to Watchtower. Once Lois had gotten to Watchtower, her eyes were glued to the television airing the breaking news of Doomsday and Chloe updating her every few hours of what was going on. It was the longest day of her life. And all she could do was wait...
