That Bruce trusted him so... It was the small things, like that (although that was a rather large thing) that you needed to notice around Bruce. To realize just how much he cared. I agree with Clark - that was a rather large thing. And it was nice to see how much Bruce trusted Clark. :)
Bruce opened his eyes again, and they were tired, full of pain. "Kryptonite," he said softly OH! Poor Bruce!
Batman's hasty departure, the way he had been standing as far as possible from him... The others had taken it as Batman being Batman. But Bruce had been protecting him, as much as he could. You wrote this so well! The sentence: "The others had taken it as Batman being Batman." – That’s so true. But it shows how wrong people understand Bruce/Batman’s behavior sometimes. Well done!
Bruce waved a hand slowly, in dismissal. "Too important tactically to have you down, S." He had to smile at that; Bruce's coded words of friendship. "But not you?" He countered, and Bruce glared at him. The dialogue between them was wonderfully written! And I liked the "coded words of friendship" (and calling each other B and S :)).
"Well, you're in good hands, B. So true!
"Get better soon, B," he called out, as he stepped into the air, then glided through the BatCave, and out across the dark bay to Metropolis, gleaming in the distance. "across the dark bay to Metropolis, gleaming in the distance" – I loved this line.
AWWWWWWW – that was so beautifully written! I could see how deeply they care for each other (though "only" as friends this time :)). Bruce trusting Clark, protecting him. And Clark being so concerned about Bruce and he could feel his pain. Great job Star! Thank you so much for sharing this story. :)
