"surprise chapter" Superman VS Savage

So apparently this has been in my drafts for 2 years. And for a GOOD REASON TOO. It was on AO3 tho... But for those who don't use AO3, here.

Superman was flying. He didn't know at the time, but he was being led into a wild goose chase after his Fortress of Solitude was destroyed. His identity was revealed online by no one other than Vandal Savage. He was searching for Vandal after he had killed Lois. He was furious, and that was an understatement.

He had to search for Vandal Savage. He tried to hone in his hearing. He had to check in on Supergirl and Superboy who were watching his parents. He managed to find hear crackling... Crackling of fire.

Superman gasped as he flew in the direction of his childhood home.

When he arrived a split second later, he saw his house engulfed in flames. He tried to listen for their voices as he flew through the burning building.

But the smell hit his nose.

His heart thumped in his chest painfully. He went around the barn, once... Twice... Three times... Four times.

No one... No one but four burning corpses. He was hoping and begging for it not to be who they were. Maybe it was just other people just to fake him out. Maybe it was fake. Maybe the smell of burning flesh were fake?

Maybe...

Maybe...

Superman's hands shook as he fell to his knees in front of the burning farm. His hands covered his face as he was filled with grief. "Ma... Pa... Kara... Connor." He couldn't say anything else. He couldn't move from that spot as he sobbed in his hands.

He had no idea how long he was crying. He could only grieve. He never had a loss like this on Earth before.

He couldn't take it.

It was so painful.

His whole body hurt.

His whole being hurt.

Superman wanted to lay down on the ground and disappear forever.

But then he remembered. That sick fuck Vandal Savage was the reason they were dead.

Superman stood up. Instead of his body shaking from grief, his body shook with anger. His fists balled up. His teeth clenched. He searched for Vandal with his super hearing.

He was going to kill him.

He took his family, now he was going to take his life.

Fuck that he was immortal. He was going to make sure that he never came back to life again.

Eventually, Superman found him. He found the space ship that Vandal had built with threats of the public. He was up in the sky.

Superman was not going to let him live another hour.

Superman took to the air. He went as fast that his super speed could take him.

The ship was out over the ocean. It was high into the clouds.

Superman didn't bother to search for an entrance.

He made one.

He went inside to see if he could find Vandal. He saw a door. He tried looking through the wall. He couldn't see through it. It was made out of lead. He went to the door and punched it open.

He walked in to search for Vandal.

Superman yelled, "VANDAL!" He looked around for him.

The door behind him slid closed.
