It had taken him a long time to get to this moment. All his years of training, of preparation, of practice... Throughout them all he had felt only half awake, almost as if he was in a daze. He had thought that it was because he was away from Gotham. And it had helped, so much, to be back in her embrace again.

But then... A flying man in red and blue. The world watched, stunned, and Bruce felt everything click into place. Knew that this was the last piece of the puzzle he had been searching for.

Of course, that didn't make things easy. Knowing and acting on something were two different things. And Clark was... Clark. They were best friends one moment, worst enemies the next.

But now, as Superman pulls him out of the water, fear in his face and eyes, Bruce finally makes his decision. He wants to live.

Ooooh, I really like the image of Clark pulling Bruce out of the water and Bruce having this realization! Yummm. And the fear in Clark's face.... that's a really nice touch, that he's not smug or lectury, he's afraid for Bruce...

I love the image of Clark pulling Bruce from the water too! I don't know where it came from, it was just there, lol. I think Clark was afraid he was really going to lose Bruce that time... *pets them both*

Thank you for commenting, Jen! I'm really glad you liked it! :D
