Chapter 3: The Morning After Part 1
The next morning
Bruce paced back and forth cursing under his breath as Dean J'onzz watched.
"Calm down Mr Wayne…." J'onzz said.
"Calm down, calm down!" Bruce replied as he tossed his arms into the air. "That fucking farm boy just caused an international incident with a warrior race of women... "
In mid sentence Bruce stopped pacing and slammed his hands down on the desk.
"... And you want me to remain calm…"
J'onzz sighed, "I've already spoken to the queen…"
"Oh God," Bruce hissed. "I'd like to not get my balls ripped off…"
"Stop being so damn dramatic Mr. Wayne," J'onzz continued. "Hippolyta said, 'That Diana suffered from a fall and that's how she got the cuts on her arm…."
Bruce looked up at J'onzz face puzzled.
"Come again," Bruce asked.
"The princess didn't say anything about being attacked by Mr. Kent," J'onzz added. "So will you please calm down…"
J'onzz pointed to a door to his left.
"He's still out cold,"
Bruce rolled his eyes, "Like I care about his damn feelings…"
J'onzz stood to his feet and placed his knuckles down on the desk in front of him.
"You should," J'onzz said coldly. "He's the last of his kind Mr. Wayne. What we know about his species is basically hearsay…."
"Stop making excuses for him Dean…"
"I'm not Mr. Wayne," J'onzz snapped. "I'm merely saying that there's still a lot about Mr. Kent we don't know."
"And that's why you should send his big blue ass back to that farm…"
"Or I let him stay here and let him explore his powers safely," J'onzz replied. "I'm the boss here Mr. Wayne. I'd like for you to try and remember that."
Bruce rolled his eyes before he turned to leave.
"If he attacks her again,"
"Have more faith in him Mr. Wayne," J'onzz interrupted. "You might be surprised."
Bruce flung the door open.
"He has to prove I should," Bruce said as he left J'onzz alone in his chambers. "I'll keep the kryptonite knuckles with me until I do…"
J'onzz shook his head as he watched Bruce slam the door behind him.
"Oh my head…"
J'onzz heard Clark mumble from the room beside him. Swiftly he rushed into the side room on his left.
"Why does it hurt?" Clark asked as he sat up.
"Bruce punched you with some Kryptonite," J'onzz said.
Clark looked up at Dean J'onzz still holding his head.
"Welcome to Themyscira Mr. Kent," J'onzz added with a smile.
"Welcome to where…." Clark asked.
"Do you remember what happened last night Mr. Kent?" J'onzz asked.
Clark closed his eyes and sat there for a few minutes. J'onzz reached out with his mind and called out to Clark.
"Clark…"
"That smell…." Clark replied.
"What smell?" J'onzz asked. "Did a smell bring you here?"
Clark's voice in his head seemed ten thousand miles away. It echoed around J'onzz in a sea of darkness. J'onzz saw a flash of the princess.
"Mine…." Clark growled.
Clark's growl forced J'onzz to stumble backwards and out of his mind.
"Did I…" Clark muttered softly.
J'onzz watched the muscles in Clark's face relax. He had realized what he'd done. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"J'onzz …" Clark muttered.
"The princess is fine Clark," J'onzz said as he picked himself off of the floor. "
The sadness in his eyes spoke volumes.
"Why don't you take a shower and change," J'onzz continued. "You'll feel better, plus you have to meet…"
"You aren't sending me back home?" Clark asked.
"No," J'onzz replied. "You need a safe place to test your powers. I've already spoken with the queen about your situation. She wants to help…"
"Why would she want to help me after what I did?"
"Well that's for another day Clark," J'onzz replied with a nod.
He leaned his bald head to the right.
"The shower's is over there,"
"I'm sorry J'onzz…" Clark said as he stood to his feet.
J'onzz didn't reply. Clark's heart sank.

Clark's point of view
As I walked away from J'onzz all I could hear was Bruce's voice ringing in my ears…
"Serve you right Kent…"
I'd heard enough to know that I'd really fucked up this time. Bruce had every right to knock my block off. As I stepped into the bathroom I saw a tiny pool of water in the middle of the room. I stripped my clothes off and stepped into the water. The water was warm and soothing. Waist deep into the pool I sat down on one of the steps.
"What have you gotten yourself into Kent," I thought to myself.
I flew halfway across the world to basically snatch up a princess. I looked down at my hands. Their reflection in the water shimmered in the sunlight streaming in from the window. She felt so tiny in them. I'd never felt like I'd needed to hold someone so close before. The thought that I had hurt her…
"Shit," I cussed. "I better try and avoid her from now on for her sake."
Writer's Corner: Sup guys! Sorry for the delay but its the end of the semester and I had 3 10 page essays to get done. Now that I've down to just editing I'm able to post a little. Just know that once the semester is over I'll have more time to post. Aka don't look for much until the second week of May.
