A New Hero

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Becky woke up a few seconds later. She lifted her head and then quickly pulled herself up. She tried again to lift Clark, but couldn't. She started to cry, her tears blurring her vision. She tried once more to lift him, but failed a third time.

Everyone's here

Everyone's here

The boy's footsteps seemed to become louder as the rain started to fall. He could hear his own heart beating. His face was covered by his blue hood, but he could see where he was going.

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

He walked slowly, not really knowing what his next step was. He knew that Superman couldn't heal without the sunlight, but he wasn't sure that he would be able to help him.

What happens next

what happens next.

Then suddenly the decision came. Like Becky said it would, Christopher decided that he needed to be a hero. He walked to Clark's side and scooped him up in his arms.

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor.

I dare you to move

I dare you move

Becky watched as the young boy flew up with his father in his arms. She couldn't help but smile. She had lost so much blood that she started to pass out again. The last thing she remembered was the two strong arms picking her up and holding her close.

Like today never happened

Today never happened before

Christopher flew up above the clouds and to the top of Earth's atmosphere. Clark's body soaked up the sun but it didn't seem to have any affect. "Come on Superman. Come on," Chris begged. Nothing happened.

Welcome to the fallout

Welcome to resistance

The tension is here

Tension is here

"Come on Clark." Chris could feel his eyes starting to water. "Come on. I can't lose you Clark. I can't lose you." The sun shone brightly, but Clark's body was still lifeless in Chris's arms. Chris shook his head, not wanting to believe that he was really dead, but not knowing what else to do.

Between who you are and who you could be

Between how it is and how it should be

"I can't lose you Dad," Chris whispered and put his head close to Clark's as his tears spilled over. They fell on to Clark's forehead. Then a light, brighter than the sun, surrounded the two. Chris watched as Clark's wound healed.

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

He lifted his head and watched as the color came back into Clark's face. He knew it was only a few seconds, but it felt like a lifetime as he waited. Chris held his breath, waiting to breathe when Clark did. He watched Clark's chest stay still. Then he heard it. Soft at first but it grew louder. Clark's heart beat. Chris smiled as his dad's eyes fluttered open.

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened before
