"Bruce, Please... Please." Clark was begging, his voice broken.

Bruce drew a gasping breath, but didn't speak. He didn't have the breath to, the time to.

"Please," Clark whispered again, and Bruce thought he felt moisture falling, but it was difficult to tell, everything was fading away... He tried to reach up, to touch Clark, to reassure him somehow. But his limbs didn't obey his orders, and it was taking him too long to figure out why.

"Please, just hang on. Just a little longer, J'onn and Diana will be here soon..."

Bruce felt his whole body move, jerkily, and it took him some time to realize that it hadn't been him, but Clark, who made the movement. It seemed to take a great deal of energy to open his eyes, and when he did, he could hardly see. There was blackness, tinged with blue, everywhere.

"C... Cla..." His voice wasn't working properly either, and he frowned inwardly. He should be feeling a lot more alarmed, he knew, but... Everything seemed so far away, so unimportant.

"Bruce. Bruce, Please. Just hang on."

Bruce finally managed to move his arm, his right arm, and touched Clark's shoulder. He felt Clark's body move, and he could see again suddenly. Clark's eyes filled his entire world.

He smiled.

Bruce closed his eyes again, and felt the world drift away. He didn't hear Clark's cries, his pleas.

Didn't hear him begging for him.

Well, I'm going to be begging you now - you have to bring him back!! :(

Lovely, though - the emotion came through wonderfully well. :)

Awww :( No bruce!! If I had to find a bright side in this, at least he was with Clark at the last moment and that made him happy.

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

That Clark was there with him certainly made it... easier. *hugs them both*

Thank you for commenting! I'm really glad you liked it. :)

I seem to have something in my eyes... *sniff*

That's a really powerful little drabble there! Very well written.

I had something in my eye too, when I wrote it. *hugs Bruce and Clark*

*sniffles* This was very sad and very beautiful. At the level of craft (as opposed to the level of sob sob sniffle), I especially like how distant Bruce feels from his body--how he can't tell whether he's moving or being moved anymore, that seemed a very realistic feeling. And the way Clark's eyes fill up his field of vision, I could see that very clearly. A beautiful little scrap of pain.

Poor Bruce and Clark, Bruce just... fading away, not being able to do anything... :( I'm very pleased you picked up the part of Clark's eyes being the only thing Bruce could see, I think that was my favorite part.

Thank you for commenting, Jen! :)

Oh, that was so sad, and very, very gorgeously written.

Oh my god.

I love that you chose Bruce's point of view and watching his drift off... And Clark's eyes...

Whoa. Well done.
