Maybe... Hopefully... Please like it :( Haha just kidding. Well, Thank you to all who reviewed, making this a fun experience for a first time writer.
I would like to thank Ar-Zimraphel. For.. Well.. Just helping me out. :)
Here goes nothing...
"Well, well well. What do we have here?"
"Um... This is a lady, Lex."
"Noooo... You wouldnt say!"
The grip on Lois' wrists tightened. She took two steps from the door and she was captured like that.
I should of listened to Clark.
"Wheres my son, Lex?"
"Oh.. You think I'm going to be that easy? Oh no no no no no, You've got me all wrong! I'm still waiting for your precious Superman to show up. Then the real party begins"
Lex turned around and walked over to a large metal box. Turning the dials to enter the code. The box finally latched open. As if it was a new born baby, Lex took what ever what was in the box, out carefully. Wrapped it in a black blanket, and walked over to Lois.
"Do you know what this is Ms. Lane"
Lois peered into the blanket, seeing nothing.
"No, I can honestly say I dont"
Lex leaned in closer and whispered.
"This, is going to kill that Superman of yours."
Kryptonite.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clark flew through an open window quietly. The slightest sound could put Jason in danger. He descended to the floor without even the slightest thud. It was empty. No one was in the room but himself.
He busted through the door. Scanning all the rooms with his X Ray vision, when finally he saw a room inhabited with people. One the size of Jason. Without another moment to waste, he zoomed through the halls, passing an open door with random men playing Texas Hold 'Em.
"Hey Rob? Y'hear? This is Supermans boy!"
"Really?... well I suppose we oughtta celebrate!" The 2 men came closer to Jason who was tied up on the floor. With one swift move, "Rob" aimed for Jasons stomach. Reeling his leg back and ready to kick the crap out of him.
"Touch him... and I'll snap all of your fingers back." said a deep heroic voice. The two mens glances shifted uneasily, as they looked up at the man who spoke.
"Hi...Hi... Hi.. Mr. Superman.," One manage to studder, "We-We weren't doing nuthin"
Superman took a step closer as they took 3 steps back. He bent down to pick up Jason, he was trembling. Even if he was the man of steels son. He was still only a child.
"Jason? It's ok I'm here." His voice was soothing.
Jason looked up at Clarks bright eyes. With no words left to speak, he wrapped his arms around Clarks neck. Clark lowered him down and faced the cowards who were huddling in the corner.
"What did you do to my son?"
"Wha-Wha- We didn't do nuthin'!"
"THEN WHY IS HE SHAKING?"
"Lex put sum' of dat' green stuff in his pocket!" Clarks glance shot back to Jason. He was paler than usual. It was poisoning his son.
But I just held him close to me a minute ago! I should have felt some effects of it!
Clark strode over to his son, digging through his small pajama pockets. His long fingers ran over a rather pointy object. He picked it up as it tingled his fingers. It was a small stone, but it still hurt like hell. Clark chucked it out of the window. Having it zoom past the two men at 70 miles an hour. Jasons color began to go back to normal as Clark picked him up to leave. He was standing in the doorway when he turned around.
"I want you two to stay in this room. And if I see you move, even the slightest inch. I'll throw you out the window, Just like that rock." And with that he left. Leaving the two men very frightened. Clark wasn't normally like this, but when someone he loved was in danger, he went to all the extremes.
They zoomed out of a open window and landed on the roof moments later.
"Lois? Lois? Where are you?" Clark suddenly felt weak, as if he was about to drop Jason. His knees were shaking and his head was dizzy. Clark looked over at Jason, whos face was as pale as before.
"Jason... theres...kryptonite around here." Clark informed his son.
"Ding ding ding! We have a winner!" Clark turned around to find Lex, holding a large solid block of kryptonite. Clarks knees began to buckle as he dropped to the ground on his knees. Still holding Jason in his arms.
"Oh, my my my! Is the big strong superhero tired"
Clark bent down moving his mouth near Jasons ear and whispered,
"Jason, I want you to run away from the rock ok? And if men try to hurt you. Kick 'em"
Jasons nod was weak, But he knew what to do as Clark released his from his arms. The two sat next to each other in a slight daze. Clark kept tilting over, unable to hold his own body up. Behind Lex stood Richard and Lois, Lois was being held by two men, who were undressing her with their eyes every second. It pained him to be just sitting there helpless. Clark began to stand up, finding strength from within. His knees were shaky as he looked Lex straight in the eye.
"What do you want Lex?"
"Well, I want a pony and a Barbie Dream house and-"
"What do you want from me."
"I want to destroy you, slowly and painfully." Lex replied with a smile.
Clark glanced over at Lois, her eyes filled with fear. He couldn't let her down, not here, not now, not ever. Clark took a step towards Lois.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"To kick the crap out of your men if they don't release Ms. Lane." Clarks voice began to crack, he was dying inside, but he couldn't Lex see that. Lex pushed the rock closer. Causing Clark to stop dead in his tracks.
Clark looked over at Jason, who remained sitting on the ground, indian style. He barely whispered, "Jason, we need to get that rock away from Lex. It's hurting us"
Jason looked up at Clark, as if he were shouting the words directly at him. He looked around, the adults seemed to not have heard it. He shook his head telling Clark he understood.
Lex glanced from Jason to Clark, Jason to Clark, Jason to Clark. They seemed to be having a nonverbal conversation.
"Are you two talking about meeee?" Lex asked with a Valley girl accent.
Clark swallowed roughly.
"Look, let Richard, Lois and Jason go... and you can do whatever you want with me."
"Aww, Whats the fun in that? Plus, last time we did kick the crap out of you, You ended up living! Thanks to some people on this roof that will remain anonymous." Lex nodded his head towards Richard and Lois.
Hes still offering to save me? I sold my soul to the devil... and... hes risking his life to save my own? Richard thought to himself, I have to do something.
"Richard? You mean pilot guy? You're offering to save him"
Clark shook his head slowly as Lex continued, "Hes the one who suggested we take Jason AND Lois in the first place!... Still want to save him?" Richard knew the exact words he wanted to say, but none of them would come out. Clark shot a glare at him, ready to kill him on the spot. But once again he slowly shook his head. After all, He was the reason Lois left him.
"Wow, You're so...so...heroic! It kind of brings a tear to my eye." Lex wiped air from his eye as he lowered his hand that contained the Kryptonite.
Immediately Clark and Jasons color came back. Clark looked at Jason, as if the time was right. Then looked at Richard, who looked right back at him with apologies pouring out of his eyes.
They counted to three as Jason rammed in to Lex with full force, just like his father, causing the rock to fly out of his hands and over the ledge. Richard attacked one of the guys that were holding Lois, as Clark attacked the other man, who was slightly larger. Lois ran over to Jason, hugging him tightly.
Clark and Richard pushed the men off of the building hearing two loud thuds.
"Aw... You shouldn't of done that." The cocking of a gun caught Clarks attention. He spun around quickly, as Lex pressed the gun against Lois' temple.
"Take one more step, and I'll put a shiny bullet in pretty little Lois Lane."
Lex reached into his pocket grabbed his phone and flipped it open. "Kitty, get the helicopter, we're leaving."
The five stood awkwardly as the helicopter came closer. Lex grabbed to the rope ladder, that landed next to Lois. The gun still in hand.
"Well, This is where I bid you farewell. Hell, I might as well go out with a bang." Lex pressed the tip of the barrel against Lois' chest and pulled the trigger. He dropped the gun, and started waving goodbye. Clark instantly zoomed over to Lois' side, craddling her, as Richard grabbed the gun and aimed it at Lex. He aimed for Lex's forehead, but shot his foot instead, his hands shaky.
"Richard, I'm going to the hospital, take care of Jason." Before Richard could argue, Clark zoomed off with Lois, barely conscious.
Clark bursted into the hospital, his eyes holding back tears.
"I need a doctor. NOW"
The doctors quickly came to aid as Metroplis' Savoir stood holding the love of his life in his arms. They rushed her into the ICU and began to operate immediately. Clark stood by, to occupied to change into normal clothes. No one bothered to escort Superman out of the room. He stood watching helplessly, he couldn't do anything to help her, Except stay by her side. The bullet landed close to her heart, leaving little room to operate. The nurses wiped away sweat from the doctors foreheads, as Superman fidgeted with his hands. Two hours later, they were able to retrieve the bullet and patched her up. Clark stood silently as the doctors exited the room. He walked over to Lois' side and grabbed her hand with his own.
He spent hours thinking, thinking of the right words to say, when it came to him.
"I dont know if you can hear me, They say sometimes that when people are... That sometimes they can hear you? I don't know if you can hear me. I just wanted to tell you... that, I Love you"
When Lois didn't react, Clark hung his head. Allowing the beeping of the monitor to speak for Lois.
"You should stop stealing my lines Mister." Clarks glance shot up at Lois, her voice was weak and her face was a lighter shade of pale.
"You scared me there."
"I didn't mean too." The beeping became slower as Clark took a deep breath.
"I was... going to do this later. But maybe this is the right time." Lois looked at Clark with a puzzled expression, and began to bite her bottom lip.
Clark backed away as he reached into his shoe. He pulled out a small box, and got down on one knee. Lois' face lit up as Clark opened the box,
"Lois Lane, I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Will you marry me? And make me the happiest man in the world?"
Lois' eyes began to water, as she hastily took in breath through the tubes. A single tear rolled down her cheek as air was becomer rougher to take in.
A wide smile came to her face as she spoke. "Yes! Yes! Clark, I love you!" Clark took her in his arms and kissed her as the beeping began to speed up, but then slowed back down. Clark let go, sitting next to the bed with Lois' hand enveloped in his own.
He planted a light kiss on it, determined never to let go. The door slowly opened as Jason rushed in, to his mommys bedside. He jumped up to kiss her forehead, as he settled down in his fathers lap.
Hours later, as Lois laid sleeping, Jason was passed out in Clarks lap. Clark fought sleep from his eyes as he held onto Lois' hand. He looked up at Lois, telling himself, "Shes going to get better,
Shes going to be just fine, You'll two get married, and live happily ever after." The beeping became lethargic.
Clark choked back tears, as the beeping finally came to a hault. His eyes shot to the monitor, and then one long beep.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
And with that, She was gone. Clark sat motionless on the chair, as doctors rushed in.
Lois Lane, the love of his life, The only thing in the world that made him feel vulnerable, free. Was pronounced dead.
