The Man

Chapter 32 // A Song To Sing Part 2

Kyle groaned, his head pounded. He was being helped by some paramedics while they were sitting in their room. The guy that send them to the stage hasn't been back to them- they were his boss right? Kyle knew it was strange so he took a deep breath and stood up, he said to the paramedics "Leave please," They nodded and left, Kyle knew his head was looking terrible. But they hadn't had time for that. They had to save not-Lena and not-Iris. "So, let's make this easy, I have watched way too many movies to know that, that guy who send us to stage is the bad guy. Now all we need to know is a hint and we will know where he is."

Barry nodded and with that Kyle felt strange... he knew what was coming... a song. He opened his mouth and suddenly there was music. "Did I missed out or lost my way?" Kyle sighed and sang "Why does she had to be taken away? If I should lose her, how shall I regain," Kyle looked at Barry who was looking amused "The heart she had won from me?" Kyle looked at Barry and winked with that he went into full power mode and sang "Agony! Beyond power of speech. When the thing you want. Is the only one you lost."

Kyle looked at Barry, who just like he did before started singing "High in her castle, she is locked away... Alone and scared, no man to fight back." Kyle nodded, Barry was right "Lost and dark, without a sound of the sane... Agony! Far more painful than before! When you know she would leave with you, if she knew the door..."

Kyle knew they were going to sing together so he prepared himself "Agony! Oh the torture they teach."

Barry sang "What's as intriguing-"

"Or half so fatiguing-"

They both sang again, Kyle was happy he had watched this movie some time ago. "As what's out of reach."

Kyle sighed and sang "Are we not brave or valiant enough?"

"We are everything a woman wishes for-"

"Then why did we lost them, our dearest ladies?"

"Do I know?"

"We have lost this battle. While they are away, in a place far away trapped in a tower without a door."

"But we must win the next, to get them back in our hands. Or we will go down under with the,"

"Agony!" They sang together.

Kyle looked at Barry and sang "Misery"

"Woe!"

They sang together "Lost in our emotions each."

Kyle sang "Always ten steps behind-"

"Always ten feet below-"

They sang together again "And she's just out of reach. Agony that can cut like a knife! I must have her as my wife."

With that she music stopped, they were both looking at each other.   

"You sing pretty great, Barry."

Barry chuckled and said "You too, but for now- we must find our ladies."

~~~~~~~~~

They had found the place, it took some time and quite some searching but they found breadcrumbs and in the end an abandoned factory. Kyle walked inside, with Barry beside him and out of nowhere somebody stepped in front of him. Kyle stopped walking and heard "Put your hands in the air."

Kyle put his hands up in the air, from the corner of his eye he saw Barry do the same, they were trapped. Their ladies just a door further. But- They couldn't. They looked at each other and nodded- it was all or nothing. With that they stormed the captors. 

Two shots where heard. Kyle was the first to fall forward, his head hit the ground, hard, as he grabbed towards his abdomen. Blood. He knew they lost- but they couldn't win anyway. They didn't have a choice. Suddenly he heard it, heels coming closer. He was out of nowhere turned, so he could look at the ceiling. He saw dark hair in the corner of his eye, he smiled weakly and said "Always my hero..."

He grabbed towards her, but his arm fell down again since he hadn't had enough strength. "I'm going to get you out, okay? Just- Stay with me." 

Kyle nodded and groaned in pain, weakly he said "There is no time, my love." He slowly closed his eyes- it hurt to much. 

Kyle opened his eyes again he looked around and saw that he was at Star Labs. He looked at Lena and said "I was right... always my hero." Lena smiled at him. Kyle pulled the wires off and out of him. Suddenly the guy who did it all walked in

"Bravo! Round of applause! Standing O. It was so good!" Kyle sat up, and looked confused at the man "I loved it, That was a hell of a show. And you two... I guess your love really was strong enough after all," It was right, their love was strong enough. Even thought Lena never said I love you, she loved him. "Beautiful."

"Man," Cisco yelled "How did you get out of the cell?"

"Cisco, do you really think that cell is gonna just, like, hold me?"

Barry spoke up "No, I'm sorry-- what's going on? Why did you do this to us?"

"I did it because I believe in the good guys. I told you when we first met. It was to teach all of you a lesson. 'Cause I see everything, and I saw two people who just needed a little nudge."

Kyle knew what he meant "So the lesson was love?"

"Yes love, Superboy. Love is about... letting yourself be saved. It's not just about saving other people. Even if you are superheroes. Anyway, I'm sorry that I had to, like, mess with you a little bit. I was just tying to get you to play the game, do the song and dance." The guy started dancing and snapping."

A guy Kyle didn't knew spoke up "Are you, like from another-" The guy mumbled something unhearable "Earth-multi-verse--universe, something?"

The guy sighed and said "Yeah, you... you wouldn't even understand where I come from." With that he started to walk away.

"Wait, I'm sorry, that's it? You're just gonna teach somebody else a lesson?"

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm gonna do."

"Oh."

With that the guy walked backwards and sang "Agony... It's like you lost the game..." With that the guy faded away.

Kyle turned towards Lena and said "You know you're hot in everything, right?"

Lena chuckled and asked, while raising an eyebrow "Is that so Mr. Danvers?"

Kyle nodded and said "Yeah, you completely slapped the air out of me in that- I don't know what's named- world."

~~~~~~~~~

Kyle sat down on the couch, Lena was fixing them some wine and beer. Kyle knew he had to do it now or never. He nervously fiddled with the box in his pocket. Kyle looked at the television, which was't on yet. He clearly was way too nervous- but he had to do it. He had bought a way too expensive ring with Mon-El so everything was set.

Suddenly he heard the sound of Lena placing her glass and the bottle of beer on the table in front of him. He looked at her as she commented "You're rather slow today, is everything okay?" She sat down and that was all it took for Kyle to go onto one knee in front of her.

He sighed and said "I-I may be too fast with this- and I choose to do this today because there isn't another day that I want to spend without you. So Lena Kieran Luthor," He grabbed the box from his pocket and opened it "will you marry me?"

Lena had tears in her eyes and with that she nodded, she croaked out "Yes." So Kyle moved up and kissed her.

Some time later, after the kiss, he slipped the ring, which had cost way too much, on Lena's finger and said "I love you."
