Chapter 120: Superman v Grodd

"You're dead, Flash!" Clark heard the defiant declaration from Grodd and whirled around. He'd been planning on seeing what was going on with Bruce and the others, but hearing that made him stop. He'd not allow a monkey to kill one of his friends. With all his might, he forced himself through the barriers and into Central City.

There were gorillas in his way so he took them out, one by one. They whimpered, groaned and some even yelled, but they weren't quick enough to get out of the way and so they slumped to the ground. When that was done he stopped and assessed the situation. There were a line of gorillas between him and Barry and Grodd. He could see Barry and Grodd fighting and he could tell that Barry was struggling, clearly something had happened.

Clark looked at the gorillas and said. "You've got a choice, get out of the way or die."

One of the gorillas, a brown one with a silver back snorted and said. "We're not going anywhere."

Clark sighed. "Fine." He pushed himself forward and hit and blasted his way through, the gorillas shrunk into bits or died as he did that, and when the damage was done, Grodd and Barry were the only ones left before him.

He threw a rock at Grodd, which caused the beast to stop what he was doing and look at him. "Superman." Grodd snorted. "Have you come to watch your friend die?"

"No." Clark said, he pushed off and grabbed Grodd. He didn't give the beast a chance to fight back, the moment he grabbed him, he punched him with his left hand almost continuously, until he decided to let the beast go. Then he pounded him in the face again and again and again, until Grodd was nothing but a bloodied wreck.

That done, he stopped and stood over the beast. Grodd snorted, though his breathing was getting intermittent. "You won't do a thing."

"And why is that?" Clark asked.

"Because you are weak." Grodd said. "You have always been weak."

Clark smiled and felt his eyes heat up, then decided against that and instead picked Grodd up by the scruff of his hair and said. "How's this for weak?" He punched Grodd in the face and sent him flying, he then moved to where the gorilla had landed and used his heat vision to remove his head from his body. He bent down and picked up the head and disintegrated it with his vision.
