Faster Than A Speeding Bullet: A Batman/Superman Love Story

Chapter 14

I hope you guys won't hate me for this, but it had to happen. I didn't feel comfortable breaking the storyline of Batman v Superman, so I didn't. Don't worry, I'll bring you know who back in a few chapters. PLEASE STICK WITH ME!! I'M SORRY, BUT IT WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING AND HEARTFELT THIS WAY!!

   KIANNA'S POV

  After I watched Superman leave, I stepped back from Batman and watched him leave, too.

  Lois walked up beside me.

  I gave her a look saying,"Don't even think about it, Lois. No, I wasn't about to faint. Stop that!!"

  Lois laughed and pushed me over. But since we were supposed to be serious right now, we rushed to find this Kryptonite spear. I was sure that Bruce threw it over here somewhere.
  I smiled when I spotted the Kryptonite spear lying near a pile of rocks. I rushed over to the spear and picked it up, then I gave it to Lois.

  I followed Lois over to another area inside of this building before she threw the Kryptonite spear into a very small body of water.

  But once Lois and I heard what sounded like an explosion, we walked out of the building and looked up at the sky.
  We saw something falling from the sky and heading towards an area that wasn't too far away from where Lois and I stood right now. 

  Whatever it was caused a pretty big explosion when it fell. However, it wasn't dead because it was still moving when the smoke cleared.
  God, I had good vision. Anyway, I didn't want to go over there with it. Yet, I saw the Batwing approaching whatever that was and ran my hand down my face.

  Lois took my hand and held it. When the Batwing disappeared, I let out a sigh of relief, but then Bruce came back towards the thing and started shooting at it.

  I just turned my head and looked again after I counted to three. A minute or two later, Diana showed up, and then Superman returned.
  But after Superman returned, Lois pulled me back inside of the building to look for the Kryptonite spear. But when we made it back to the very small body of water, we didn't see it. So, we had to look for the spear.

  When we couldn't see the spear from where we were standing, I suggested to Lois that we better get into the water and find this spear.
  Lois tried to go into the water alone, but I would never let her do something like that. I went down with her, and we made our way under.

  Once we spotted the spear, the ground began to shake. I quickened my pace and tried to grab the Kryptonite spear myself. Lois pulled me closer to her because a huge piece of cement almost crushed me to death. Thank God for Lois Lane, right? I thought I had the spear in my hand, but it managed to slip out somehow.
  Lois and I went back up for air, and then we went back under again. More cement fell, and we found ourselves trapped under the cement. I looked over and saw that Lois wasn't looking too good. It just so happens that I could hold my breath longer than most people because I took some intense swimming classes.

  I wrapped my arms around her waist and tried to push up one of the huge pieces of cement blocking my way. I almost had it, but I felt it get pushed up for me. I couldn't see who it was, but they pulled Lois and I out of the water. I lied on my back and tried to catch my breath, but I was more worried about Lois.
  I sat up and turned around. Lois coughed, and Superman put her down. Superman dove into the water to get the Kryptonite spear. But when he didn't come back up, Lois kept calling his name and then looked for him in the water.

  When she spotted him just lying in the water, I helped her get him out. Lois picked up the Kryptonite spear and threw it as far as she possibly could. I smiled when Clark started moving again, but I turned around to see if Bruce and Diana were all right.
  When I turned back around, Superman and Lois were having a moment. I decided to turn away and give them privacy, but I spotted Bruce charging towards what I saw earlier. I didn't know what it was still, but it sure was huge. I snapped out of it when I heard Lois yelling for Clark.

  Superman kissed my cheek and softly said,"Take care of Lois, Kianna. I know she'll be safe with you."

  I didn't know what Clark was getting at. I reached out to grab his cape, but Superman was already gone. Lois rushed over to me and hugged me.
  I just did my best to comfort Lois, knowing that Clark was probably just trying to do what he believed to be the heroic thing to do.

  As I held Lois, Lois and I saw Superman charge towards the "thing." It looked like Clark was winning, which was good. That was good.

  I smiled, but I looked over at Lois.

  Lois already had tears forming in her eyes. I flinched and looked away when Superman got stabbed by one of the thing's pointy things that came out of him.
  But when the thing dropped Superman, Superman didn't move. His eyes were just wide open. No. No. He couldn't be dead. Lois pushed my arms away and ran towards Superman's lifeless body.

  I took Superman's other side while Lois cried saying,"No. No."

  Tears poured down my face.

   I rested my hand on Clark's face yelling,"NO, NO, YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME!! OPEN YOUR EYES, CLARK!! CLARK!!"

  I felt a hand on my shoulder. I wiped my tears and looked up at Batman. Batman held out his arms for me to run into. I ran into his arms and sobbed into his suit.

  Batman kissed my forehead and held me saying,"It's all right, Kianna. I've got you, honey."

  I continued to sob but held onto Bruce's suit very tightly. As I sobbed, I realized just how much I was going to miss Clark Kent.

   HOURS LATER...

  Clark's body was buried at the Smallville Cemetery, and I couldn't even look at his grave anymore. I buried my face in Bruce's neck and let my tears fall against his suit. 

  Bruce rubbed my back and whispered encouraging words in my ears before I sniffed saying,"I miss him so much, Bruce. I miss him so much."

  Bruce lifted my face to try to get me to look at him, but I just buried my face back in Bruce's neck again. Bruce continued to hold me as he talked to Diana. I felt gentle hands pulling me away from Bruce, and I was met with Diana pulling me in for a hug.

  I gladly hugged her back.

  She softly said to me,"Shh, you'll get through this. I know it's hard, Kianna, but we'll help you. Right now, though, there's someone who really needs you."

  I was so selfish. I was so busy crying myself that I didn't even think to go inside and check on Lois.
  I stopped hugging Diana and thanked her, then I rushed inside to check on Lois.

  Mrs. Kent noticed me and led me to the room Lois was in right now. I guess Mrs. Kent already knew that I came inside to check on Lois.
  I thanked Mrs. Kent, then she kissed my forehead, and she put her hand on my shoulder. I watched as she turned around and walked down the hallway.
 
  I turned and walked into the room. I closed the door behind me and sat down beside Lois. I noticed that she was holding the ring Clark was going to propose to her with.

  I said to Lois,"Clark and I thought it was about time he showed you how much he really loved you, Lois. I know, Lois, I know."

  Lois broke down and cried onto my shoulder. I slid the ring onto her ring finger before I held her and let Lois get it all out.

  I kissed Lois' forehead and asked her,"Are you tired? Do you need me to stay with you?"

  Lois just nodded to both questions, so I moved us underneath the covers. Lois snuggled into me, and she began to fall asleep. It took her hours to go to sleep, but I stayed with her the entire time. I tried to be the sister that I knew she needed right now.
