AN: Thank you guys for all the reviews. Right now I am slowly writing all the chapters from songs that were left in a review. This is just another chapter I had sitting there, waiting to be posted. Here it is, hope you all enjoy. Though you may need a tissue...when did my mind turn to the dark side? I would like to hear your thoughts, as well as a song! Thank you guys for the reviews!

Hero: Nickelback
Looking up, Tom saw many stars. He was on the park bench, wearing his best hoodie since it was chilly. He maneuvered himself so he was lying on his back, the cold metal dug into his back, but he paid no mind to it. Searching out to find the star patterns he knew, he found his mind drifting off to other more important things.
For example, how he would explain to Jack; his girlfriend, Sabina, and the team that he had heard so little about. They at least deserved to know the truth, before it got to the newspaper, covered in lies. That is if it even made it to the newspaper.
He took a breath, and watched the vapors swirl upwards to the starry sky. He just didn't know how he would explain to them that Superman was dead. That it was done by some professional, that the bullet didn't even hurt as it embedded itself into the Hero's head. And how Tom was mere feet away, and could do literally nothing to stop it.
He could even see now the crushed looks on the faces of Jack, and Sabina. Holding them as they shed their tears, and telling them that everything was going to be fine. That if Superman had to go down, he damn well should have people crying for him. That is why the graveyard that happens to be a few yards away, should be expecting a monument soon.
If the real Superman got a statue, so should his friend. Hell, they were practically the same, saving the world and all. And he knew for a fact that no one could replace Superman, that he was his own person, a Hero who saved the world. And in return got a bullet to the brain and a stupid statue that people wouldn't recognize. Yep, that's the thanks his friend gets, for saving the world; some invisible tears, and a fucking stupid statue.
