Chapter 12 - Superman saves the day

It had been two days since Clark left Clark 2 at Smallville. For the other Clark it wasn't all that different from his own home. Ma and Pa Kent not only looked the same, they were pretty much the same people who loved him like a son. Clark hadn't returned after leaving him there. There was still no word from Diana, which made Clark 2 realize that he crossed the limit by saying her mother was dead and blaming her for staying here because of that.

Kara had called him twice. She had been concerned about him, and he really appreciated the gesture. Pa Kent took him to town once in his truck, which broke once they returned home. Clark had spent almost half an hour fixing the truck. He also helped Ma get the milk and eggs. Clark had regretted not coming here as soon as he got to this earth, he really missed his parents.

The next day, Diana stopped by that evening and told Clark 2 that she wanted to have a word with him alone. She then led him towards the river and asked him to take a seat.

Once Clark 2 was seated with his back against a tree, Diana started to speak, "Here's the thing, Clark. You think I'm here because my mother is alive. I didn't know that there existed a world where my mother was punished because of my existence. Do you know how it feels to know that? How it pains me to even think about my mother in such a horrible state? All because of me! I know he's my father. And my mother had been hiding that truth from him. To know the outcome of Hera finding out is such a cruel thing, now that gives me a reason to stay so the truth never comes out."

"So you're accepting the fact that you are from my earth?" he asked quickly.

Diana shook her head and sat down. "You still don't understand what I'm trying to say, Clark. I was raised a warrior. We were not taught how to love. All they told us was that men were our mortal enemies. When Steve Trevor came to our island; all the things he told me about the man's world, I really wanted to see it for myself. They were in middle of a war with Darkseid when I first met the founding league members… when I first met Clark. Kal. He was like me, but he was also so different. Things were not always easy for us. I didn't know Clark Kent and Superman were the same person. I fell in love with both of them. I always thought that love would make me weak, but mine didn't. Instead it made me so strong, I knew that he was a very important part of my existence. I cannot imagine a life without Kal. If I feel so deeply about him, don't you think I must have spent years with him for our relationship to grow? Was your Diana like this too? Has she ever told you how she felt about you?"

Clark 2 was quiet for a while. It was true that he was dating Diana back on his earth, but she had never told him all these things. Hell! She had never even told him she loved him. She liked him, but was she in love with him? He had no idea.

"Clark, we will find a way to send you back," Diana said confidently. "And when you go back, you'll see that your Diana will be waiting for you there." With that she stood up and told him that she was heading back home to talk to Ma and Pa, and she would leave after that. Clark 2 waved her goodbye and lay down on the grass. He looked up at the trees and the sky and contemplated all that she had said, slowly drifting off. By the time he woke up, it was already night.

The next morning, Clark was at an inauguration ceremony taking place in Metropolis. As it was taking place outside, he was keeping an eye out for trouble. Not only Lois and Jimmy, Perry White was also present here.

Kara and Barry had gone on a space mission and would only return later that day, so he had to take care of both Metropolis and Central City by himself. Hal had offered to help with Central City, but Clark told him he would take care of it.

"This is getting boring," Jimmy moaned trying to get a good picture of the guest.

"I know. But Perry's here, so we have to stay till the end," Clark said, looking around.

Suddenly he paused as he heard it, looking around for a way to escape unnoticed.

"Kent! Are you taking notes? My eyes are on you. If you disappear once again, say goodbye to your job," Perry said, frowning at him.

Clark sighed loudly. There was a bridge collapsing in Central City, no Flash to protect it, he had to be there. But before he could figure it out, he heard a stronger heartbeat traveling towards Central City. It was neither Diana or Kara, but Clarence!

Meanwhile, Clark 2 had been helping Pa Kent with the tractor when he heard the news. A bridge was about to collapse in Central City and no one had gone there yet. His instincts kicked in as he flew straight to Clark and Diana's apartment at Metropolis, took Clark's Superman suit and put it on. With his Kryptonian DNA, the suit modified itself and he was out of the window in a matter of seconds, flying straight to Central City.

Superman reached in time to lift the bridge up. Wonder Woman had just flown towards him and was surprised to see him instead of her Clark. As he used all his strength to keep the metal bridge standing, she managed to evacuate everyone on it. Once she was done, she came to lift the bridge and asked him to weld it back in place. Using his laser vision, Superman welded the metal and flew away before people caught a glimpse of his face. But Iris West from Central City Picture News had already seen him, and she knew that he wasn't Superman.
