A/N: So there's something wrong with my computer or the site and every time I try to upload something it messes up the formatting. I'm hoping it's just a glitch and that it'll fix itself soon. Anyway here's yesterday's chapter. Enjoy.

Superman Tonight—Bon Jovi (4:09)
Sherlock
Honey 'Verse
Mycroft
He knew he wasn't anybody's hero but she sure made him feel like one. When she looked at him he thought he could be Superman. He would do anything to keep that look in her eyes.
He hadn't known her for long when he realized that she was the only one he could ever love. He'd always been very careful with his interactions with other people. He never let them too close. He had far too much to protect. He couldn't allow any harm to befall his family.
But she wormed her way in with one dreamy smile. He hadn't even really wanted to meet her but his brother had insisted. He would do just about anything for his brother. For his brother to smile at him. His brother rarely smiled at all these days and he found he'd missed it. So he'd gone to meet her and he'd lost his heart.
His brother trusted her implicitly. Well, as much as he ever trusted anyone he wasn't married to. He hadn't wanted to be drawn to her because of his brother. He hadn't wanted to be drawn to her at all. But he was.
He found himself lurking around her work. He would watch her every chance he got. She always had a smile for him. She was always happy to see him. Even without his brother around. It was astounding. He wasn't the one that people remembered. He wasn't as smart. He wasn't as handsome. He was forgettable. She always remembered him.
And she looked at him the way John looked at Sherlock.
He was no one's hero but for her he would wear the cape and battle the forces of darkness. For one of her smiles he would outrun a bullet or leap a building. For her soft laugh he would shoot webs from his hands. For her kiss he would storm Asgard and use Thor's hammer to smite her enemies. For her he would be every hero. For her.
