Man of Steel: Loving Mia Jones

The Death of Superman (Clark Kent)

"He's still alive?" Diana asked surprised. 

"Barely." Bruce answered looking over him.

*Cough* "B-Bruce,*Cough*  w-where's Mia?" Bruce was about to answer until they heard a shout behind him.

"CLARK!"

Mia raced over toward the area where she saw the monster collapse. Her heart raced in fear with every step she took. The closer she got the more she had this dreadful feeling growing in her chest.

When Mia arrived at the scene where she saw a woman dressed in a warriors outfit standing beside Bruce who was kneeling. They both turn to see Mia approach them. "Mia." Bruce whispered standing up to reveal what look to be Clark laying on the ground.

Mia gasped at the sight before her. "Clark!" She ran to him kneeling beside him.

*Cough*  "M-Mia."

Mia cradled Clark's head as her heart broke for him. The shadow of death was shown on his face. She looked to the blood coming out the wound in his chest. "I'm here Clark just stay with me okay. Keep your eyes on me." Tear streamed down her face as she held Clark's weak body.

"I-Is it dead?" Clark asked. Mia looked over at the body then back toward him. "Y-Yes. You did it. You saved everyone."

Clark let out a breath. "G-Good. That's all I ever wanted...was to keep everyone safe." Clark placed a hand on her wet cheek. "T-To keep you safe." Mia sniffled as she held on to Clark. "M-Mia, t-thank you for being there...for me...a-and encouraging me."

"Clark..." Mia heart felt like it was being literally ripped from her chest. 

"I love you...so much Mia."

Mia sniffled and wiped a tear away. "I love you too, Clark." Mia leaned down and placed her lips on his. Clark kissed her back, barely in the kiss she felt Clark's hand slip from her face as he ceased movement. 

Mia pulled away, not believing that she had just lost her lover. The light he had in his blues eyes was no longer there. "No, God! No!" She held Clark's body tightly as she cried. Stroking his hair. She laid him down once more and kissed his cheek.

Bruce and Diana stood there in silence as they watched Mia cry over Clark's body. Bruce could not help feel guilty for his death. If it wasn't for his hate for him and believing the lies Lex created he maybe alive now. Bruce walked over to Mia as she continued to cry as Diana stood there watching her in sorrow. She knew what it was like to lose someone you love.

Bruce placed a hand on Mia's shoulder in comfort as she continued to cry.

"I'm...so sorry, Mia." Bruce said softly.

Mia looked at Bruce over her shoulder then she stood wrapping her arms around Bruce. Bruce  returned the hug in comfort as she cried on his shoulder.

The Next Morning

Gotham

Gotham Motel

Bruce sat on the motel chair as Mia sat beside Mrs. Kent on the bed holding her in a hug as she cried over the loss of her son. Diana sat beside Bruce in the other chair with no words to say to help ease the older woman's pain.

Both Bruce and Mia got up early the next morning to find out Mrs. Kent checked herself into a motel as she due to her being stuck in Gotham after being kidnapped. They both found Martha was going to leave this morning until she heard about what had happened to Superman and his fight with Doomsday on the news. Mia and Bruce came to tell all that had happened. Diana joined them later after they had arrived which Bruce did not expect her to come. Bruce told all of them that he has made special arrangements to have Clark's body to be taken back to Kansas. He figured she would want him buried as Clark Kent in Kansas rather than Superman in Metropolis.
