A/N: Please read and review!


All of the members of the League had appeared to face Darkseid, and leading all were Father, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Fritz had refused to move as she had been more transfixed by the scene and the battle that was starting to happen. Her eyes had widened as she had looked around her. Of course, in the exact moment her life would be in complete danger, Fritz would be stubborn in not leaving her spot to see everything happening around her. I was surprised she had been able to survive in the world if she would act like that.

That was when I had to wrap an arm around her shoulders to pull her to me to have her walk with me. "We should go to safety."

I said it in a way that would have not been heard by the people around us. Fritz had went to look up at me, narrowing her eyes at me. She was not happy when I was trying to tell her what she could and could not do. That was typical when she was that upset, and it would have been pretty difficult for anyone to want to deal with telling her what to do.

"Why?" Fritz asked, and she was working to keep me from having start to walk with me.

"Look around you, Fritz," I had to say to her. That was when I gestured around us with my free hand. I wanted her to understand and keep herself from being so stubborn.

There was an army of Darkseid's Parademons all around us, and they were so close to fighting off the member of the League. The people who had been freed were already gone, understanding better of the battle to happen than Fritz had.

"Does this seem like a good idea for you to be in the middle of?" I asked her. She needed to understand the enormity of the situation.

She was still going to argue with me, but I was still able to have her walk with me. My arm was still wrapped around her shoulders, and she was close to me as we had walked to some place that was safer than out in the middle of the battle. She was still mad at having to follow my orders, but she was still able to understand what was happening. That was a plus.

There were some Parademons who had started to chase us, and I took a gently hold of one of her hands to start to run as we were being chased by them. It had went against my life-time of training. I was taught to fight as a proper warrior and conqueror. Running away was for cowards, and through my one blood, I was not a coward. The complete opposite, in fact.

That moment had to be different. I had Fritz I needed to think about, and her safety was the most important thing for me. She needed to be safe, and that was all I was going to focus on for that moment. My training worked only when I became a warrior or a conqueror, more for being a solitary, but she was there with me. I had to take care of herself. Not myself.

I felt I was braver and stronger as I tried to keep Fritz safe.

The Parademons had been flying around us, and one landed on the ground close to us, forcing us to stop running. I went to hold Fritz a little closer to me to hopefully protect her in any way that I could. She had paused for a moment and closed her eyes as she had buried her face into my chest. I paused for a moment, having to take a deep breath when I felt her do that, and it was a good thing she had not noticed that to happen. I held her closer to me, and I went to be between her and the Parademons. Her shield.

Fritz was not going to allow that to happen, and she went to push away from me. She was willing to deal with the Parademon herself despite not having any kind of fighting skills.

"What are you doing?" I demanded of her. She really was crazy and had no care for her own personal safety.

"If I'm going down," Fritz said, breaking into one of the closest cars. "I'm going down while fighting. . ."

She climbed into the car, and she was able to start it to drive into the Parademon. When it crashed into the Parademon, Fritz quickly got out of the car to grab the fallen Parademon's weapon, but she did not possess the strength to be able to carry it.

I walked over to her, and I gently gripped her wrists to get her to let go of the weapon. Fritz had to look up at me.

It was hard not to be impressed by the amount of stubborn strength she had possessed. She may not have had the strength or training to be a warrior, but it was hard not see she had possessed a warrior's spirit. There was nothing I could say to her for the moment, and for once, she was just as quiet. She quickly shook her head.

"I need to do something. . ." She said to me. "I can't just stand by and watch as everything is falling apart. . ."

My hands went to gently grip her upper arms, and she had to look up at me. "You have done enough, Fritz. You were able to free so many people from his control. . ."

I let go of her, and I had gestured around us. She was able to see the people she had freed which meant she may have freed many of the League members. She saw how they were fighting back against Darkseid, and she saw how Darkseid had fallen.

"In fact. . ." I quietly said to her. "You have done more than enough. . ."

At my words, she went to hug me, and almost automatically, I pulled her into a hug, closing my eyes as I lightly breathed in the scent that came from her hair.
