This is not really How I wanted it to end but its been fun writing it and I may do a sequel but until then enjoy the Conclusion of A Hero's Return.

Final Chapter- Aftermath

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere

I'm here at LuthorCorp where it is reported that Superman was shot by Lex Luthor, Mr. Luthor has released a statement explaining that Metropolis's Savior attacked Mr. Luthor and fearing for his life Mr. luthor reached for his gun and fired one shot that apparently barely missed Superman's heart but the doctors say if removed quick enough then there might be a chance to save this man from the Stars, I'm Vicki Vale report for Metropolis News back to you Stan.

The news blares at the TV as Martha Kent Collapses on her couch and begins to sob for her Son wishing that her Husband was still here with here.

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

Lois watched in Horror as she gazed out the window as the Paramedics and Doctors rushed the Clark into the building.

Across town...

Bruce sat in the dark as the tears began to flow as he gazed across from the unconscious monster in front of him.

"Bruce!" Diana appeared from the darkness as she rushed to his side.

"I almost Killed him... it felt good, I stood there and watched the life leave his eyes when I could hear my father's voice."

"Bruce your not making any sense" Diana gazes at his bloody knuckles and says " We need to get you out of here, The league has been looking for"

Bruce gazes into her eyes and just nods as he stands their hands still intertwined.

"Whats the situation?" Bruce says as he releases his hand from hers.

"Kal-El's Been Shot"

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Metropolis General:

"Clear!" The doctor yells as they attach the paddles to Clark's pale Chest.

Lois feels that something is wrong and puts on the scrubs that the nurses left for her, She pulls out her IV and begins to run down the halls her hearts begins to break as she fears for the worst.

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen

Bruce and Diana stand with the rest of the League as they wait in silence praying that they didn't loose him.

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

LuthorCorp Plaza- Front Steps:

The Police begin to escort Lex in cuffs as the lights flash from cameras and reporters swarm him asking him questions.

Lex just smirks as the door shuts in his face the cameras still flashing and questions being shouted.

Fortress Of Solitude:

Kara sits above on the highest peak of the fortress as she sobs silently as she holds a silver locket shaped in the House of El symbol, She presses it down and it opens as she gazes at the picture of her and Clark on the Farm with the brightest smiles on their faces.

Memories begin to flood her mind

"You understand that if anything happens to me you keep the others safe and look after the farm for me."

Kara just nods as she breaks down in tears.

(End Of Flashback)

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you

Lois gazes through the doors as she watches as the doctors try and get a pulse but no luck, sadness begins to take over.

I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

Lois looks one last time as one word escapes her mouth "Clark"
and the sadness that once was on her face has changed into a smile.

END?

A/N: I was listening to Mad World by Gary Jules (It was in Donnie Darko) and I decided it would be perfect for the ending. I hope you guys liked the story.
