The Last Crusade-11

Wonder Woman let out a pained yell as she was flung into a statue skidding across the green of the park. She scrambled to her feet taking up her lasso she hoped to once more get it around the man of steel but he grabbed the other end wrapping it around his own wrist he yanked hard sending her flying over his head she let go of the rope landing on her feet.

A gash sat above right eye brow causing the blood to spider red across her cheek. "You have to snap out of this Kal'l this is not you fight it."

Superman laughed. "Still going on with the same song are we? I love this…this feeling of power. I have never felt it before."

"You are sick and weather or not you don't see it I will make sure that you won't endanger innocent lives."

The amazon gritted her teeth rolling to the side as superman's heat vision blazed into the ground where she sat. pulling out her sword she let out a primal yell as she rushed at him. She gasped as superman's hand

wrapped around her neck causing her to drop her weapon.

"You are very beautiful. It's a shame that I have to kill you so."

Clark sharply turned his head as his ears picked up a new sound. For the first time that night he was hit by something that sent him crashing into the bushes. Wonder woman sank to her knees gasping for air. She looked up to see the familiar green light.

"Looked like you needed the help." Green Lantern said as he helped the princess to her feet.

"I do not know how but he is so much stronger than he was before. It scares me."

"Don't worry I'll-"

Superman sped out of the bush eyes flashing red. Green Lantern created a large fist he swung hard connecting with the alien flying high into the air.

"You really expect to beat me that way you coward?"

"Cowardly is hardly what I call myself. If you truly want to prove your accusations fight me with your fists and not with your mouth."

Superman shot up in the air not holding back an ounce of his aggression. Even though the kryptonian was naturally fast in the air Green Lantern was just as agile and if not better. He had far better control where Superman's speed tends to back fire. As it's harder to control then his power.

He morphed the hammer into a shield gritting his teeth as they both struggled to gain control. Meanwhile across the other side of the park. Green Arrow strung his cross bow along with his natural bow that sat on his back. He looked up at the duo in the sky, he raised the cross bow.

"It would be easier if their weren't two targets." he said to himself he waited patiently Superman won the wrestling match slamming John into the ground below.

Oliver released his arrow zipping through the air and to everyone's surprise it struck its target well more like it grazed the arm but it was enough to draw blood.

Superman winced, turning his sights on the trio below each prepared for the assault that was no doubt coming upon them. He zipped down between them spinning around he created a tornado like force that sent all of them flying landing in different areas of the park.

Oliver popped up first from his bush as he ventured out into the open area the kryptonian was gone. John and Diana joined his side as he clicked on his ear piece.

"Batman this is not working I managed to barely nick him with my arrow. He's way to powerful for us to handle. What do you want us to do?"

"Leave." came the impassive reply.

Oliver looked at his friends giving an incredulous look. "Leave?! And what are you going to do?"

"Plan B."

The ear piece went silent causing the archer to press the button again. "What do you mean plan B?! Batman! Bruce!…he gave a anger scoff… Unbelievable."

"Hate to break it to you Olie but they don't call him vigilante for nothing." John stated

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Superman flew up dropping down on a roof on the eastside of metropolis. He staggered slightly he looked down at his arm. The injury was effecting him more than he thought it would he breathed in focusing on his next target but he froze mid step as a sharp whipping sound reached his ears. He straightened turning to see the dark knight emerge from the shadows.

"I was wondering when you would show up." Clark stated facing him completely

Batman remained silent as Clark eyed him. "You know I can see what's in that belt of yours and to be quite frank; it's a waste of time."

Superman crossed his arms along his chest. "What is it? Cat got your tongue?"

"I know the real Superman is in there and I will do whatever it takes to draw him out." Batman replied

"Good luck." the kryptonian shot back his blue eyes ignited in red.

Batman gripped his bat-a rang throwing it at the man of steel but to no surprise he wasn't there to hit its target. His instincts however was his only weapon as he dove out of the way of the red beams flipping over he got back on his feet just in time to be knocked back into a pile of pipe.

Clark floated down in front of him. "This is no fun. I'll tell you what I will not use any of my extra powers and do only hand to hand combat. Would that make it easier for you?"

The dark knight got to his feet. "Hardly."

"Oh, right, I forgot you like the challenge. Don't say I didn't give you a chance."

Batman used his grappling hook shooting it up he zipped up to the wood plat form above him. Naturally by the time he got up there Superman greeted him with a hard punch sending him skidding across the wood. Batman tackled him but not to the ground he ducked and swung and kicked trying to match the speed. Clark effortlessly picked the vigilante up and threw him down to the roof below but to his wonderment the dark knight disappeared into a plume of smoke. Using his x-ray vision he looked for him but it fluctuated turning out to be more of a disadvantage.

However, his hearing did not betray him. As he heard the footsteps of his opponent. He zipped back down to the ground.

"Lingering in the shadows is only delaying the inevitable." the hero said as he continued to follow the noise.

Bruce pressed himself against a shaft holding he slid down picking up a metal pipe. He ran banging it against the ground then throwing it into a metal rod. He quickly picked up another one hitting it against the beginning of a steel structure then flung it in the opposite direction.

Clark suddenly stopped at the echoing around him unsure of where Batman was. It wasn't until he heard the movement of a cape did he turn but he did not assume to look up as he was suddenly straddled from behind Bruce quickly reached into his belt pulling out the needle but he did not have the time to inject it as he was ripped from the hero's back smacked so hard he was sent airborne and landing with a hard crunch into the wall sending his needle skidding across the roof and over the edge.

He let out a pained grunt as he flung up high and over but he did not surrender so easily as he quickly took hold of the others forearm battling it out.

"I know what you're trying to do and it will never work." Clark shot out.

Bruce answer was a hard right hook to the others jaw but that only earned him a punch to the stomach and once more he was greeted with the rough cement. He struggled to his feet his eyes widened slightly at the sight of his cowl in the others hand.

Superman stood frozen for a moment as his brain registered the face staring back at him. A flash of an image came to light and Bruce saw the glimpse of the man he knew.

"Clark."

Superman looked at Bruce then a sinister grin replaced the confused expression. He tossed batman the cowl… "You better put this on we wouldn't want the world to know your true identity."

Batman silently placed it back on then ran at the kryptonian. He felt a sharp tug on his cape sending him crashing to the ground he flipped over raising his foot up he hoisted the man of steel up and over his head. Still he found himself so close but so far. Like so many before him he found himself in the iron grip off the man of steel.

"This is where it ends." Superman sneered tightening his grip.

Bruce struggled for breath somewhere in between victory and death Superman's eyes widened in shock and pain. His grip loosened, his eyes casting downwards as he saw the blade in his abdomen the familiar green glow piecing out from the wound. For the first time Batman had the upper hand he threw the kryptonian to the side. Clicking open the back compartment of his belt he pulled out the syringe.

"This is for your own good."

Superman felt all his senses spasm and go out of his control. He let out an agonizing scream as Bruce held him down what seemed like eternity he finally stilled as he fell unconscious.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Several moments later Supergirl landed on the roof top. Her eyes falling on the prone figure of her cousin.

"Kal!"

The blond hero ran over to her only family member, falling to her knees she cradled him in her arms shaking him gently.

"Superman! Kal'l! answer me." she begged tears threatening to spill down her face.

"He will be fine."

She girl gasped looking up to see the dark knight sitting against the wall opposite from her. His cowl pulled back hand draped over a bent knee. She looked him over and saw several injuries to his body.

"You're hurt."

He stood up walking over to her he opened up his palm… "He will need several more injections to flush out his system."

She took them looking down at Clark then at the vaccine. She closed her own hand over them looking up.

"Thank…" she trailed off as she found that the vigilante had vanished… "You."

A/N: I hope this is worth it.
