Chapter 7

'It was some time in the afternoon, Lapis was snuggled against Kal who had an arm wrapped around her. She opened her eyes and looked at him lovingly, they had fallen asleep on the couch.

She woke him up, gently. Kal opened his eyes and looked at her lovingly.

She then kissed him on his forehead, and snuggled back into him.

Bruce had found the woman who took the drive he used to get the information that Lex had.

The woman, whose name was Diana, said that she didn't steal his drive but that she borrowed it.

Bruce went back to the cave, and began decrypting the data that was in the drive. As he was waiting for the data to be decrypted he fell asleep.

In the dream he woke up, inside of a dark room and wore a trench coat and goggles, he got out and saw that the bay between Metropolis and Gotham was dried up and an 'Omega' symbol was buried into the dried bay, and fire erupted from various parts of the area.

In a compound Bruce and other members of a rebellion walked up to a truck. Hooded figures approached the group.

The back doors of the truck open, "Did you get it? The rock?", Bruce asks a man inside the truck

"Yeah, we got it.", responds the man. Bruce then walks into the truck and a case opens, a green hue illuminating from inside.

Bruce looks inside of the case, but sees that there was no kryptonite inside, rather the light was because two green bulbs were illuminated. Bruce hears the cocking of a gun and looks up at the man holding a gun towards him.

"I'm sorry.", the man says. The hooded figures pull back their hoods revealing them to be soldiers that were part of the Regime. A soldier walks up behind Bruce and aims his rifle at him.

"Get down! Get down! Now!", the soldiers shout at the group of rebels. Many members get down on their knees, suddenly one of the soldiers fires at them, killing them. Bruce sees his comrades fall to the ground.

"NOOOOO!", he shouts. He grabs the soldiers rifle, the soldier tries to shoot at Bruce but Bruce forces the rifle down. Bruce then takes out a pistol from under his trench coat and shoots at the man that betrayed the rebellion.

Bruce shoves the soldier to the side of the truck and headbutts him. He proceeds to fight other soldiers that were outside.

Meanwhile Para-demons flew around the area and snatched up the dead members of the rebellion, helecopters flew near him, and more Regime soldiers landed on the ground.

Bruce brought a soldier down and held his head in a grip. The soldier tried to get out of the grip but Bruce twisted and snapped his neck. Other soldiers began hitting Bruce, a Para-demon walked behind him, it let out a roar and brought its fist down on Bruce, knocking him unconscious.

Bruce let out a gasp as he regained consciousness, his arms were tied up in chains. He looked around and saw other members of the rebellion in a similar position. He heard a 'booming' sound and looked towards the entrance of the room.

Suddenly Kal landed on the ground, and soldiers on both sides of the hallway kneeled. Kal walked towards them, glaring as he did. Bruce noticed that one of his hands was clenched tightly, Kal's eyes then glowed red. He released heat-vision from his eyes and used it on the other members of he rebellion, their screams echoed in the room. Bruce breathed deeply.

Kal with anger in his eyes ripped off Bruce's mask, he stared at it and let it fall to the ground. Kal opened his clenched hand, and Bruce gasped at that was there. He saw Lapis's gem shattered in many pieces. Kal looked at the shards with a saddened expression on his face. He looked up at Bruce, glaring.

"She was my world. And you took her from me.", Kal said. Kal then moved his other hand towards Bruce's chest, he then plunged his hand through his chest and ripped his heart through his chest.

Bruce screamed in agony, in a flash of light he seemed to be back in the cave. But he saw a figure in red armor speak to him through a portal.

"Bruce! Bruce! Listen to me now! It's Lapis! It's Lapis Lazuli! She's the key!", the figure said. Bruce seemed to be confused, which the figure noticed.

"Am I too soon?", the figure asked. The figure, who was named Barry Allen, groaned.

"I'm too soon.", Barry said

"You're right about him! You've always been right about him! Fear him! Find us, Bruce! You have to find us...", shouted Barry as the portal began closing.

Bruce then woke up and saw that the data was finished being decrypted.
