TITLE: Destiny's Children (A mix of DCU canon and Lois and Clark(TV) canon)
AUTHOR: Juliet
EMAIL: Â sweetvalley99@aol.com
RATING: Â PG - 13
SUMMARY: It's been seven years since Clark was taken from Lois, can a miracle born out of invasion's hatred mend her heart?
AUTHORS NOTES: I've taken elements from L&C canon(I.E. the characters and how they were represented in the series, certain events and L&C's relationship) and mixed them with the Comics continuity (Superman's battle with Doomsday, his death, and the JLA as represented now). I also pushed L&C's timeline back a few years so that the death takes place in '93/94 and the seventh year anniversary comes close to the year 2000 and all the millennium madness that gripped the country at the time.
DISCLAIMER: The characters of Lois and Clark and any other DC character belong to DC Comic and the WB. Some of the dialogue in the prologue comes from Roger Stern's "Death and Life of Superman" which belongs to the author, DC and Bantam books.
DISTRIBUTION: Soon to be on Fanfiction.net, anywhere else, just ask.
Destiny's Children
Prologue.
   Lois Lane watched in horror as her fiancee Clark Kent a.k.a. Superman went down after he'd dealt what many had hoped was a death blow to the monstrous Doomsday, a mysterious being that had ravaged much of the Eastern seaboard and took out the vaunted Justice League.
   Superman laid on the ground unnaturally still. Lois could vaguely hear people calling for an ambulance as she threw her reporter's detachment out the window and rushed to her lover's side.
   As Jimmy numbly clicked off pictures unable to comprehend what he was seeing, Lois bent down and took her lover in her arms.   Â
  Â
   "Clark," she whispered, enough for Superman to hopefully hear her, softly enough for Jimmy to miss what she said.
   Superman's face was so battered and bruised he could barely see. The look of her soulmate's bloody and swollen face would haunt Lois for the rest of her life.
   "Doomsday ... is he?" Superman struggled to ask, "Is he?"
   Lois struggled not to cry. "Down. You stopped him. You saved us all!"
   He nodded. Then his eyes closed one last time and his body slid limply to the pavement. For a moment the whole world seemed still, save for the sound of Lois Lane crying.
   Suddenly there was a rumbling and people started screaming and panicking around Lois. She looked up to see the gray monster who had killed the one man that meant the most to her lumbering back to his feet, towards Lois and Jimmy.
   'Clark didn't stop him afterall,' Lois thought in despair, stumbling back to her feet and way from Doomsday, who was facing her down.
   She watched in sickening horror as Doomsday's feet crushed Superman and Jimmy. As he reached down to grab her, Lois knew she was going to die and join Clark and Jimmy.
   The last thing she saw as his huge hand crushed her body was his huge red eyes.
  Â
   *         *       *     Â
  Â
   Lois Lane bolted straight up from her bed, sweat dripping from her body, trying to exit the nightmare she'd just experienced. Then it hit her, just like it always did. That realization that, except for Doomsday coming back to life, everything else had happened.
   Clark was gone.
   And he wasn't coming back.
   Lois climbed out of bed and gazed out of her window to the turbulent world below. It had been seven years tomorrow since she'd lost her fiancee and the world lost its ultimate Superhero. It was a drastically changed world following Superman's death, and it had not gotten easier.
       Lois looked at the bottle of vodka on the nightstand. It would be so easy to just drown her sorrows and numb her pain in that bottle, especially after today's news.
   Clark's parents Martha and Jonathan Kent called Lois and gently informed her that they'd started paperwork to declare their son legally dead. Although the logical part of Lois understood that the facade of hoping their son had survived the rampage Doomsday wrought on the part of Metropolis Clark supposedly was reporting in seven years prior eventually had to end, the news still hit Lois as hard as the day Clark died in her arms had, causing all the old feelings and nightmares to come roaring back.   Â
   And so Lois climbed back into bed, and like she'd done everynight for the last seven years, burst into tears.
   "Clark," she said over and over through her sobs, finally crying herself into a dreamless sleep.   Â
  Â
ADDITIONAL AUTHOR'S NOTES: I pretty much put this after the NK(New Krypton arc for those who have never watched the Lois and Clark TV show) arc, because I wanted them to go through the ultimate separation. I've toyed with the idea of "what if" regarding Superman/Clark's battle with Doomsday for some time, wondering (and debating on some comics lists) what life would've been life if Superman had stayed dead or returned 5 to 10 years after Doomsday killed him instead of the few months comics. So I started writing this. There will also be an original character introduced in the next chapter that will help out in this fic. I'm also including a lot of the DCU including a JLA that's battered, bruised and missing a few KEY members. But at the heart remains Lois and Clark.
So what's your opinion? Â Â Â
