   Y/N'S POV

  As Superman tightened his grip around me, he safely guided us to the ground.

  He slowly put me down, and I caught my breath saying,"You came back? You are here.."

  I rested my hands on Clark's face, before he leaned in and kissed me passionately. I kissed back and held on, before Clark did not hesitate to kiss me harder. Once we pulled away, Superman looked into my eyes and sent me a small smile.
  I smiled back and pecked his lips, before I stood back. Superman sent me a wink, before he flew back towards Luthor.

   CLARK'S POV

  As I made my way back up to the roof, I was so grateful I made it in time. I did not know what I would have done without Y/N. Once I saw Luthor, my eyes immediately darkened.

  Lex clapped and said,"Boy, don't we have some problems up here?! The problem of evil in the world. The problem of virtue.."

  I sternly said,"I'll take you in without breaking you, which is more than you deserve."

  Lex started to get angry saying,"The problem of you above anything else! Like God, right? Kal-el, Clark Joseph Kent. See, what we call power depends on how you see it. They need to see it with their eyes; the blood on your hands."

  I asked Luthor,"What have you done?"

  Lex walked past me and said,"You, my friend, have a date across the bay! Right, to this date. 2 years, but it didn't take much to push him over..A few notes, a big band, and YOU LET YOUR FAMILY DIE! And now, you will fly to him and you will battle him to the death. Black and blue, fight night!! God vs man, Day vs Night, Son of Krypton vs Bat of Gotham."

  I turned to Lex and said,"You think I will fight him for you?"

  Lex said,"Mmm, yes I do. I think you will fight, fight, fight for that special lady in your life."

  I said,"She's safe on the ground."

  Lex said,"Close, but I am not talking about Y/N. No, every boy's special lady is his mother."

  I yelled and demanded,"WHERE IS SHE?!!"

  Lex yelled back,"I DON'T KNOW?!! I WOULDN'T LET THEM TELL ME! If you kill me, Martha dies..If you kill the Bat, Martha lives. Now bring me the head of the Bat!"

  I fell to my knees at the pictures of my mother.

  Lex moved towards the helicopter and said,"When you came here, you had an hour left, now it's less.."

  Lex left on the helicopter, and I made my way towards Gotham.

   Y/N'S POV

  After Superman left, I grabbed a taxi and was about to get in, but I felt a familiar presence behind me.

  I turned and Clark said,"Y/N, I have to go to Gotham and convince him to help me or he has to die."

  As I put my hand on Clark's face, he leaned in and kissed me slowly.

  I kissed back before he pulled away about flew off saying,"No one stays good in this world."

  Once I got to the Daily Planet, I ran inside and said,"I need a ride to Gotham!"

  Perry started complaining, and I really didn't have time for this.

  I softly said,"Perry, it's not for a story."

  He nodded and said,"Jenny, get Y/N a plane to Gotham!!"

  Once I got on the helicopter, I hoped I wasn't too late to help Clark.

   CLARK'S POV

  When I made it to Gotham, Batman said,"Well, here I am.."

  I desperately said,"Bruce, please..I was wrong. You have to listen to me..Lex wants-"

  I was cut off by a loud wave of energy or something blocking irritating me. I groaned in pain and immediately took them out.

  I walked towards Bruce and sternly said,"You don't understand. There is no time!!"

  Bruce took a hit towards me, but I blocked it.

  He yelled,"I understand!"

  After I hit Bruce, guns turned towards me and started firing from every direction. I was pushed back, before I flew up and quickly disposed of them. I walked towards Bruce, only to send him through the building and past his sign.

  I yelled,"Stay down!! If I wanted it, you'd be dead already!!"

  Batman threw out a pellet, before I walked past it. I looked around, but I felt something heading towards me. I quickly caught the bullet, only for it to explode in my face. I started coughing and had a hard time breathing.

  Batman stood there watching and said,"Breathe it in. That is fear..You are not brave, Men are brave."

  Batman took a few swings at me, and I couldn't get myself to fight back in time. He smashed me through a wall, before he tried to punch me multiple times. Once Batman realized it wasn't working, I smirked and pushed him through the wall. He groaned in pain and slowly got up.
  I made my way towards him, only for him to shoot me with some more gas. Next thing I know, I was thrown down stories of floors. I roughly hit the table, which caused me to feel almost..paralyzed.

  Batman wrapped something around my leg, before I felt him pull me.

  He said,"I bet your parents taught you that you mean something; That you are here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson. Dying in the gutter for no reason at all.."

  He began to swing me around, and I had no control over my actions. Once he stopped, I could not feel much.

  He held some Kryptonite weapon over me saying,"You are not a god, you were never even a man.."

  He held it over my face, before he made a slick cut across it.

  I manged to get out,"You're..letting..them..kill...Martha."

  Batman said,"What does that mean? How did you hear that name?"

  I desperately said,"Save..Martha.."

  Batman angrily said,"WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME?!!"
