A Kryptonian's Fixation

Bruce: Loving Bruises

I stared at the vial. J'onn had managed to get it to me. That was good. It meant that there was hope of keeping Clark from doing something he would likely regret. But I haven't given it to him yet.

I only had one chance. I don't know what he would do if I failed. Or if it doesn't work. There was always a possibility that this wouldn't work. What would he do then? I couldn't accurately say. I hated thinking that.

Carefully, I hid the vial. For now, I would have to think of a time when I would be able to use it. I shouldn't waste it.

"Babe, you're frowning again. Are you worried about something?" Clark wrapped his arms around my waist as he spoke, pulling me into him.

I just relaxed, leaning my head back into his shoulder. He felt like a rock, and currently I felt like I needed that. That I need him.

"I hate relying on you so much. I'm not use to it." I admitted aloud.

His body moved with stifled laughter, then I felt his lips on my neck. I closed my eyes and tilted my head to give him more access. This wasn't so bad. At times, it felt like we were a married couple. It was quite funny and sad at the same time.

"You'll get used to it. You shouldn't bottle things in."

"I'm used to it." I simply replied, but my words seemed to faulter as I felt his breath on my ear.

"And it wouldn't hurt either of us for you to let it go." He murmured before going back to kissing my neck.

I sighed heavily, but I wasn't feeling the negative feelings I usually felt whenever someone- namely Alfred- tried to get me to open up. No, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

"Oh? What's so funny that it's got you laughing like that?"

I moved a hand over my mouth, trying to stifle it. It had been a while since I found something funny! I didn't even realize I was laughing till he said something!

Once I was able to calm myself down-- it took long than I would've normally liked-- and looked to Clark. He was gazing at me like I held the world within my hands. Maybe I did to him, and that just hurt.

"I was thinking how Alfred would be upset to see that you can open me like a book while he has to pry."

His somewhat amused look grew as he too laughed. He leaned down and kissed me sweetly, making me melt into him. I wrapped my arms around his neck, just pulling him closer. He held me tighter, our kiss growing more heated. Then he pulled away with a frown.

He was facing where I believe he was hearing something.

"Alien invaders?" I joked.

He stiffly laughed, kissing my forehead.

"If only." He teased then sighed heavily. "No, it's Diana." He groaned under his breath.

I felt a frown form on my face. What was she doing here? Was she being stupid? Just stubborn? She could ruin everything!

"I should just kill her."

"Clark, no!" My grip on him tightened, pressing more of my body to him in some hope that he wouldn't! He could easily pull me off him or just as easily kill the Amazon with me still attached. But I had to do something!

His blue eyes gazed down to me, his lips pulled into an uncertain frown. Then those eyes darken.

"Why?" His tone had darkened, his grip on me tightening almost painfully.

I gulped down the wince, keeping my eyes focused on him.

"She helps protect the world... If you kill her, you'd invoke the Amazon's wrath. The world won't survive a fight."
