You're All I've Got

Summary: Nearly a year after Superman's near death everything is routine. Clark works while Superman saves lives, Lois struggles with her feelings, and Jason starts the first grade. So, how does a teenage girl on Clark's doorstep, an arson in Gotham City, Jimmy's new neighbor, and a new girl in school change it all?

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the OC's... It kinda sucks...

AznIntegra- It is true; Mylie is slightly (or a little more then slightly) bugged by the fact that she works as hard as Clark to keep people safe and she doesn't get at least half the credit. Clark might have figured out what she meant, but he might not have. He will soon enough if he hasn't. Mylie will return to normal soon, I promise. Yes, Donovan isn't just a jerk-off, he is human as well. However, he doesn't like to show it. I'm sure you know the type. Thanks!

Hagen5690- Thank you so much! I'm glad that you like everything. I'd forgotten about the quote from Tommy Boy… But it's been about 9 years since I last saw it.

Tiny Tony- You love it? Really? Do you? Thank you, I really appreciate it. In truth, I'm a huge comic book geek, not just Superman. I love the movies with Christopher Reed (which is kind of almost sad considering they were made before I was born) and Superman Returns and Smallville. Lois and Clark with Dean Cain was a show that I never actually watched much. The episodes I have seen, however, were very enjoyable. Nothing seems to slip my mind? My sister might have to disagree with you. As for the cross over with Batman Begins, I love that movie and I wanted to put Superman and Batman together. You think I'm a genius? Thanks! I'm glad that you think that adding Red Kryptonite was a smart idea; I wanted Mylie to be a little bit bad. Yes, I have seen Clark on Red K on Smallville. I love those episodes! I didn't, unfortunately, get to see 'Crimson', which upset me… But I'll move on. Thanks again!

SuperPup92.0- Thank you! I was hoping that Donovan would come off as a normal guy and not just the jerk-off that he acts like all the time. I'm glad you felt pity for him because that was what I was aiming for. I'm exceptionally glad that you liked that and part and the abduction. Red K always gets Clark's hands full, whether it's him that's under the influence or not. I don't think Clark expected to get beaten up either… Poor Clark! The end confused you? Good because that's what I was hoping for! I'd love to know what some of your guesses are.

Thank you so much to beauty7890102!

"There's Red Kryptonite, too?" Hayden asked, stunned, as she sat in Clark's kitchen. Clark nodded somberly as Hayden stared at him, her jaw dropped to her chest.

"Unfortunately." Lana replied. Once Clark had called Hayden and told her what he found out, she had come to his home. Lana, who Clark had also been filling in on the situation, had welcomed her in, "Although, I have to ask, Clark. Is that the reason you put Billy and Danny through the lockers in the locker room when we were 15?" Clark half nodded, "I figured. Now that I know what the stuff is, I get it."

"What does Red K do?" Hayden asked, "The green can kill you, but Mylie seems stronger if anything."

Clark sighed, "It takes away all inhibitions and morals." He replied, "It makes us reckless and dangerous."

Hayden chewed on the inside of her cheek. If this stuff was as bad as Clark said it was, and she was sure it was, then Donovan was lucky that Mylie hadn't killed him, "That's why she went after Donovan and showed him her powers." Clark nodded. Hayden thought back to Donovan… She hadn't seen him in a few days. Mylie wouldn't have… Would she? "Um… Do you know where Mylie is?"

"No." Clark replied, "I cornered her at the docks on Tuesday. She was getting information from Croft Gilles about who knows what. I tried to get the necklace off of her after I realized what it was, but she threw me across the room and flew off." Hayden chuckled, but stopped almost immediately. The thought of tiny Mylie throwing muscular Clark across a room was humorous, but the reason she did was not, "Anyway, I've been trying to listen for her, but she knows how to stay away."

"Fun." Hayden replied, "So what are we going to do?"

Clark shook his head, "I have no idea."

Hayden began chewing on the inside of her cheek again, but she stopped when her phone rang, "Hello?" She asked after answering, "Oh, hey, Bruce… What? Bruce, speak a little bit slower. No I haven't seen Donovan, why? Since Tuesday? Are you sure?" Sighing, Hayden added, "Sure, I'll be back soon."

"What's going on?" Lana asked when Hayden hung up her phone.

Sighing and placing her phone back in her pocket, Hayden replied, "None of us have seen Donovan since Tuesday and car is gone. We don't know where he is."

"I'll be listening." Clark said.

"Thanks Clark." Hayden replied, "I have go. Bruce wants me back so that he can watch over me. You'd think he was Batman the way that he goes on about some things…" It was fast, but Hayden didn't miss the flash across Lana's eyes when she called Bruce 'Batman', nor did she miss the Clark breaking his cool for under a second, "Wait a minute… Is he?"

"Erm…." Lana mumbled.

"Oh God… He is! Bruce is Batman…" Hayden rested her head in her palm, "What the hell is going on? First Supergirl is my best friend, then a bumbling reporter for The Daily Planet is Superman, and now my Godfather and honorary uncle is Batman!" Sighing and standing, Hayden added, "I have to go now."

Clark and Lana sighed as Hayden walked out of the house and closed the door behind her, "Do you think she's okay?" Lana asked.

"She's a trooper." Clark replied, "That girl has been through more in the past 6 and a half months then most people go through in their lives. She was born into luck, but she hasn't lived in it." Lana nodded while, outside, Hayden sat in her car and cried.

Why did she have to lead a life that sucked? Why did she have to be born into such a fabulous lifestyle and everything go to hell? Taking a deep breath, Hayden began to drive. She needed something to help her relax a little, so she stopped at a small convenience store to grab an iced tea.

Her trip inside the store was short, but it was delayed by a chatty cashier. Hayden set her drink on the counter, "Hello. This all?"

"That's all."

The cashier swiped the drink label and looked at Hayden, "You look kinda familiar." Hayden shrugged, she got that a lot, "Where do I know you from?"

"Who knows." Hayden replied.

The cashier stared, "Hum… I know!" She said loudly, causing Hayden to jerk back just a little bit, "You're Hayden Granville!"

"So I've been told."

"My grandfather follows your parents case." She replied, causing Hayden to raise her eyebrows, "He's a Gotham City history buff."

"That's nice." Hayden said, "How much is it?" She asked, wanting to get away as quickly as possible.

"Oh!" The cashier exclaimed, "It's 1.73." Hayden smiled and handed her exact change, "Thanks for exact change. I hate giving back change."

"You're welcome then." Hayden said, "Good night." Practically running back to her car, Hayden pulled off the top of her tea and started chugging it down. Maybe it was the events of the past half-year, but she was honestly getting a bit paranoid. People who liked to talk about her parents freaked her out.

Driving away, Hayden sighed, trying to convince herself that the world was not out to get her. Her urgings were in vain and she stopped for a moment on the side of the road to calm her nerves. She was only a few miles out of Metropolis and she hoped that a few minutes of deep breathing would calm her down.

"The world is not out to get you, Hayden Calico, it's not." She mumbled to herself. She even used her middle name on herself in the hope that it would work better.

Just as she stopped talking, a cloth soaked in liquid was placed over her mouth. Screaming and choking, Hayden heard someone whisper in her ear, "Not the world… Just me." Hayden stopped struggling as exhaustion over took her and she blacked out.

Lois stood on the roof of The Daily Planet and looked out at the sky. She knew that most people would have the notion that she was a complete moron and a cold-hearted bitch for what she did, but she had reasons. Clark had lied to her for so long. Weren't Superman and Clark Kent supposed to be the most honest people in the world? If you couldn't trust them, then who could you trust? But that was all over and she and Richard were close to setting a date for their wedding.

"Not smoking, are you Miss Lane?" A deep baritone voice asked.

Lois sighed, "Not that it's any of your business if I try to give myself lung cancer." She snapped, turning to face Superman, "I thought I told you to leave me alone."

"I promised I'd always be here for you, Lois." Superman replied, "And I intend to keep that promise."

Shaking her head, Lois replied, "Well, I don't want you too. Just leave me alone. Me, Jason, Richard… Leave us all alone."

Superman sighed, "Lois, I don't want to disrupt you or your family, but I think I deserve a chance to explain myself."

"Really?" Lois asked, "I think I've given you plenty of chances in the past. You don't deserve anything as far as I'm concerned." Superman landed next to her, "But I deserve an explanation."

"About?" Superman asked, not rudely.

"About what made you think that you could take away my memories." Lois spat, "What gave you the audacity to assume that I couldn't handle knowing the truth? How could you have violated me that way?"

"You remember everything, then?" Superman asked. Lois nodded angrily, "Then you also remember that you were an emotional wreak after I asked for my power back. I couldn't live seeing you like that, Lois."

"So you took away my memories?" She asked.

"I wanted you to be happy." Superman replied, "I wanted you to live your life."

Lois scoffed, "You shouldn't have made that decision for me!" She said, practically screaming, "You should have let me live and get over it!" She added, walking up to him and poking her index finger into his chest, "YOU SHOULD HAVE…" Lois stopped, staring into his eyes. They were so clear and beautiful and the life that exuded from them reminded her so much of her son. But at the moment, they were close to her tears… Over her, of all people. Quick as flash and without even thinking, Lois rose on her toes and captured his lips in a heated and very passionate kiss. Superman was, needless to say, shocked, but he responded to her, even placing his arms around her. Lois rested her hands on his strong chest and leaned closer to him.

Both of them were so wrapped up in the kiss, that neither noticed the door to the roof open slightly. Richard looked out the crack in the door and nodded. He had his answer. What kind of competition was he to Superman, anyway? He loved Lois, but it seemed that was they had had ended when Superman came back into the picture. He wasn't sad or angry, though. In fact, he was somewhat grateful. Lois deserved her number one and Jason deserved to get to know his real father, well birth father. Thinking back, Richard could now take the job from The New York Times that he had been offered. Richard closed the door and thought. The next time he saw Lois, he would be packing and explaining everything to her. But Jason… That was going to be a lot harder.

Lois pulled back and breathed heavily, "I shouldn't have."

"Lois, please." Superman replied, "I love you and I know that you love me…"

"I can't." She said, "I love Richard and I'm marrying him."

Superman gulped hard, trying to find something to say. He was cut off, however, by the sounds of screams deep below ground in the oldest building in Gotham City, "I have to go." He said.

"Where?" Lois asked.

"Gotham." He replied, "But, I'll be back. I hope you will be, too." With that, he took of as fast as he could possibly fly.

Watching his retreating back, Lois scolded herself, "Why did I get myself into this again?" She asked.

Hayden was woozy and she felt like she was going to puke. She was sitting, hunched over, against a cold stone wall while Donovan placed his had comfortingly on her back, "You okay sis?"

"Fabulous." Hayden replied sarcastically, her throat scratchy from screaming. In actuality she was cold, dirty, wet, still felt like she was going to be sick, had a huge bump on her head, and she had been locked in a dimly lit room by a psycho chick. Luckily for her, Donovan was feeling the pain of the last one as well, "Do you think that loony-toon had anything to do with mom and dad?"

"I don't know." Donovan said.

"Don't even put me in the same league as that woman." A bitter voice replied, "She is nowhere near me." The woman, thin and bony with dark hair, walked into the light.

"Who?" Donovan and Hayden asked.

The woman, named Leigh, sighed, "The woman that orchestrated your parent's murder." Hayden and Donovan raised their eyebrows, "I can't stand that bitch and I hope she dies or one of her plastic surgeries goes wrong. Then maybe she'd kill herself."

Hayden cleared her throat, "Then why do you want us?" She asked.

"I'm just trying to help you." Leigh replied, causing Hayden scoff, "Don't you appreciate it?" She asked, getting angry, "She would have killed you if I hadn't brought you here." Donovan had told Hayden that Leigh was a little loose in the head, but now was the only time she had seen it, "I risked myself for you."

"She appreciates it, Leigh," Donovan said.

Leigh smiled, "Thank you." With that, she walked out of the room.

"Please don't try to get us killed." Donovan said to his sister, "She sincerely thinks that she's saving us and if we don't appreciate it, at least around her, she might go off the deep end."

"That woman is a loon. How did no one notice it before?" Hayden asked. Donovan opened it mouth to answer, but Hayden added, "And why didn't you try to get out? And how come we didn't know you were taken?"

Donovan sighed, "Hayden… I don't know how no one noticed." Hayden shrugged, "And I have tried to get out, didn't you notice the black eyes or the sprained wrist? She's a strong woman, you know. She could have done worse." Hayden rolled her eyes and drew her knees to her chin, "And she took my car, along with yours. I heard it when she came in again."

"Oh…" Hayden replied.

A depressing silence washed over the siblings before Leigh came back in, "I made cookies!" She said cheerfully. Hayden, despite the situation, nearly laughed and raised her eyebrows again. Cookies? This woman was a lunatic.

"And they look lovely." A deep voice said, "But I'm afraid Hayden and Donovan need to get home."

Leigh looked up, "I'm protecting them!" She screamed, "I need to look after them. I promised I would."

"Bruce Wayne is protecting them now." Superman replied, "Just let them go."

"No!" Leigh screamed.

"Then we can do this the hard way." A female voice said as Leigh was knocked unconscious and thrown across the room. She would have shattered against the stone wall if Superman had not caught her, "And what did you do that for?"

"You could have killed her." Superman replied, placing Leigh gently on the floor.

"So?" Supergirl protested, "She's a kidnapper."

Superman sighed, "That doesn't mean you get to kill her." As Supergirl and Superman bantered and argued, Donovan stiffened at the thought of what Supergirl, or Mylie... whoever she was, had done to him while Hayden moved her hand and noticed a large rock. She picked it up and walked towards the two.

"Hey!" She said, causing Supergirl to turn. Superman saw what she was doing and grabbed a hold of Supergirl's arms as Hayden shattered the Red Kryptonite necklace off of Supergirl's neck. Blinking for a moment, Supergirl looked around before fainting and being caught by Superman, "Oh… Is she okay?"

"Is she okay?" Donovan asked, "Have I missed something? After all of the crap that she does, you're still worried about her?"

"Donovan, it wasn't her fault." Hayden replied.

"Then whose fault was it?" He asked incredulously.

Hayden sighed, "I'll explain it later, I promise." She said

"We'd better get you two home." Superman said, holding onto Supergirl, but indicating for them to hold on, "You do want to get home, don't you?"

"What about her?" Donovan asked, indicating Leigh.

"We'll get her the mental help she needs." Superman replied, "The police are coming, so they'll find her and take her to the hospital and we will go from there."

"That's an idea." Hayden replied, latching herself around Superman's neck, "You coming?" She asked Donovan.

Donovan looked from Leigh to his sister to Superman and finally to Supergirl. Nodding, he gripped Superman's arm, "Damn… I feel puny…" He said, causing his sister to chuckle and roll her eyes.

"Hold on." Superman said before flying off towards Wayne Manor at the exact same moment that the police broke into the room and found Leigh unconscious next to her plate of cookies.
