Chapter Six

Lex and Kal curled up. Kal grinned down at his lover. Lex had been so wonderful and caring when being inside of him for the first time. When he entered this Lex for the first time it had felt so different, it was perfect. It meant so much more, as it was meant to be and how it should truly feel.

"What are you smiling at?" Lex mumbled opening his eyes to look at his lover.

"I was just thinking about how different it was being inside you then it was with the Lex of this world." Kal whispered stroking the bald head, loving the feel of that soft skin.

Lex stiffened ever so slightly. "Different in what way?"

Kal grinned at him. "It was so much better with you. I never believed anyone when they said emotions played a crucial part. Sex was just sex. Now, with you, it is different, but in a good way. The best way." He bent down his head and kissed the older man.

Batman stared at Superman wondering why they hadn't gone in yet.

"Clark what the hell is going on? Why are we waiting?"

"They were ….busy." He mumbled trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice.

"They were uhhhh. Do you want us to go?" Bruce asked, hoping that he would say yes.

"We are not leaving without Lex, even if we have to kidnap him." Clark growled as he stormed into the building.

The black figure followed immediately after the dramatic spandex covered entity. "This is not going to end well." He muttered.

The door opened and in walked Bruce Wayne. "My Lord…" He stopped as he saw the two lovers kissing in the bed. He had seen it on the screen, but had hoped he had got her before they continued. Obviously, he was too late.

Kal turned and glared at him. His green eyes tinged with red. "How dare you come in here?"

"There is something you need to see my Lord. It is urgent."

"Go Kal, you're needed." Lex said smiling at him.

Kal kissed him again. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Lex watched as Kal climbed out of bed and dressed. He also noticed Bruce staring at that perfect body. He could see the lust, desire and love in his eyes. With one last smile Kal left the room.

The large mirror that was encased in one wall slowly opened. Lex turned and grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around his waist.

"Hello Lex." The stranger said.

Lex's mouth opened in disbelief at who it was.

Kal stared at the large monitor. He couldn't believe it. How had the Kryptonian's got past their defences? There were so many of them. How could this world survive?

"What do we do my Lord?" Bruce asked, reaching out and touching the other man on the shoulder.

"We prepare for battle. It will be an honourable way to die." Kal whispered, turning he looked at Bruce and saw how the other man looked at him.

"My lord?" Bruce questioned.

"I'm sorry Bruce." Kal said simply.

"For what?"

"For treating you the way that I did. You are my oldest friend, and I do care for you. I never told you that. I'm sorry that I could never love you the way you wanted. Ever since landing here I was meant for one person. I guess you could call him my soul mate. Somehow he ended in one universe and I in another."

"Kal there is something you need to know. I hope you can forgive me for it."

Kal looked at Bruce confusion covering his handsome features.

"What is it?"

Bruce took a deep breath and prayed that Kal did not kill him. It would be what he deserved. He could be one of the reasons that his world might come to an end.

Batman grabbed Superman's arm and pulled him into an alcove.

"Look you cannot kidnap Lex if he doesn't want to leave. If he is locked up and in danger then that is different, and we will help him."

Clark glared at him. "I am not leaving him here."

"It's not your choice Clark. Lex has been in love with you since you were too young for him to do anything. When did you get these feelings for him, or when did you admit them." Bruce waited for Clark to respond and when he didn't Bruce continued. "It was when the Kal of this world came and claimed him. You didn't want him then, but because another you does and sees him differently it has changed things for you. Well, tough. Just because you want something now doesn't give you the right to it. Grow up Clark."

"You don't know what it's like Bruce. Wanting something you should never want. Wanting someone so intensely that you can't let them go. How do you live like that?"

"I know how you feel Clark, and you take one day at a time." Bruce said smiling sadly.

"Who did you feel like that for?" Clark asked not really believing.

Bruce moved forward and pulled Clark into a soft kiss, a light touch of their lips. "You." With that, he turned and headed towards the stairs.

Clark stared at him open mouthed. He never knew that Bruce felt this for him.

Kal had his best friend pinned against the wall.

"You're telling me this now, why?"

"Because I made a mistake I was jealous. You have to get back to your room now, or it could be too late."

"Too late for, oh no Lex." Suddenly, he turned and disappeared. Bruce ran after him at a human pace.

"What are you doing here?" Lex whispered as a knife lay against his throat. They had fought, but it hadn't been enough. All he wanted was to see Kal and Clark again one last time. Two men, the same but so remarkably different. Not only from different worlds, but universes as well and Lex loved them both. Kal was the one that loved him back, wanted him and trusted him.

"It's time for you to die."

"Kal, Clark." Lex whispered as he felt the knife dig into his skin.
