I was leaning against Clark, holding his hand. All of our fights were gone from my mind. They didn't matter. I had just called all of my family members reminding them that I loved them and now I just wanted to be here. With Clark.

The sun was setting behind the city and our little spot was as gorgeous as ever. I was calmed, by the steady breathing of Clark and the sound of his heart beating as my head was pressed against his chest.

The world was wonderful.

Knowing that I was going to die tomorrow made all my anxiety and stress disappear. Suddenly work or paying the bills didn't matter. Only living in this one moment.

"I don't want to lose you." Clark whispered.

"You won't." I sighed contently. "I'll always be here."

"I wish I could have married you... One last time." He mumbled and pressed a kiss on the top of my hear.

I smiled and grabbed my bag, rummaging through it until I found some copper wire. "Break this please." I requested and with a brief snapping sound I had two copper wires in my hand. Carefully working the wire I created two rings one bigger, one smaller and handed Clark the smaller one. "I Fay Queen take you Clark Kent as my lawfelly wedded husband." I smiled and slipped the bigger copper ring onto his finger.

"I Clark Kent take you Fay Queen as my lawfully wedded wife." He smiled and placed the smaller ring onto my finger.

"You may kiss the bride." I whispered, a tear slipping down from the corner of my eye.

Clark gave me a heartbreaking smile and pressed his lips to mine. There was no heat, just the two of us, together while we still could. I don't know how long we sat there. All I noticed was that in a few moments when we drew apart the sun had set and the stars were clear on the sky.

I layed down on the ground next to Clark and looked up to the sky. "That's the big dipper." I whipered pointing to the seven starred constellation on the sky. "And that's the North star. And that's the little dipper. And you see that over there. It's not actually a star, it's Mars. It's always amazed me what you can see on the sky..."

I looked at Clark and saw him staring at me.

"What?"

"Nothing. Just that in all our lives... I have never known this about you. You haven't shown me stars before." He whispered.

"I wanted to be an astronomer when I was little." I told him. "I would look at the stars with my dad."

"I love you." Clark said and pressed a kiss on my shoulder.

"I love you too."

And we just layed there. When it got even darker, the wind grew faster and I knew it got colder, but I couldn't feel it. To me everything was perfect in that moment. Nothing could make me feel anything other than happiness.

"I'm glad I'm here with you." I whispered to Clark's neck as I turned to him and placed my head on his shoulder before falling asleep.

I knew the time was near. Soon I would loose her again and I wouldn't be able to stop her. I could only wish that this time it would be fast and painless. That she would get to sleep away in peace. This would be her final resting place and I couldn't think of anywhere better.

She slept through the night and woke up to see the sun rise. Her skin glowed as the light hit her. She looked like an angel.

She sat and drew up her knees leaning into them as the gentle breeze played with her hair. She twirled the ring she had made on her finger and bit her lip as she was in her own little world. She had been like this in the first life too. The original life. Where she had grown weaker for months and knew death was coming. Calm.

"Fay." I mumbled, taking her hand.

"I love you Kal-El." She whispered to me.

"I love you too." I said, but my words sounded broken, like a dying man's wish.

We didn't speak, only occasionally saying I love you back and forth. We didn't need words. We would hold hands and kiss, play with each others hair and look out at the amazing view. Breathe the same air knowing that soon one of us wouldn't be there to breathe anymore. We enjoyed each others bodies and layed next to each other memorizing the other's face. Nothing else mattered.

I shut off the world and only listened to her. To her breath to her heart to her whispers of love.

But we could see when it happened. When the sun stopped rising and stated to descend. Time was running short.

"I love you Fay." I told her again.

"I love you too." She whispered back.

"I loved Clark before Superman." She said as we watched the sun touch the city line.

"What?"

"I fell in love with Clark before Superman. And then I ended up in love with Superman too and I was lost. When I turned down Superman's advances it was because I couldn't get the thought of Clark out of my head. I always wished he was there kissing me instead." She whispered and squeezed my hand.

We sat in silence.

"I'm afraid to die Clark." She mumbled.

I didn't know what to say. I gathered her in my arms and placed her on my lap, squeezing her and just holding her as she let out a sob. She was content, I knew that. She didn't regret anything I knew that too. She was glad I was here, I was sure of that. But she was still terrified. And I understood that.

And as I held her, I watched the sun set behind the city.

But the view wasn't enough, I wanted to see only her. The rest of the world didn't matter to me. I didn't want to think of a world where she didn't exist so I closed my eyes, blinking softly and when I opened them...

We are so close now.
