Superman has to wonder if Batman knows he is watching him, then instantly dismisses it. Of course he does. He always knows. Just as he always knows when Batman is watching him. True, they both know each other so well. And I loved Clark’s thoughts about the connection an the bond.
Superman watches as Batman swoops down, an avenging angel. The sky above is clear, but dark. There is no moon tonight, and Kal shivers. Dark, moonless sky and an „avenging angel“ – it fits together (and it’s excellently written).
How can the people around him be so blind to it? But then he remembers that they don’t know Bruce like he does. They only know Brucie. Not Bruce. Perfect!
A quarter moon hangs in the sky, not yet full. A sudden sigh beside him, and he turns, surprised, and yet not, to see Bruce standing next him, giving him a wry smile. AWWWWWWW! - the image of Bruce, giving Clark a smile with the quarter moon above them.
They’ve won again, Kal thinks, and smiles, looking at this friends. One friend is notably absent, but then he never joins in these celebrations. Oh, I know Clark got used to not having Bruce there. Still, it makes me sad seeing there Clark alone.
Kal smiles again. Batman had done what he did best: outsmarted everyone, including them. WOW!
What would they do without him, he wondered, and not for the the first time. Nice! :)
“The Wayne Foundation today announced plans to build a new state of the art children’s hospital in central Gotham.” Great!
What the Joker has done... Clark can scarcely believe it, hates that he’s probably going to have to write about it tomorrow. Oh no!
“Bruce.” He has to try and reach him, somehow. He doesn’t raise his head. “Bruce,” he tries again, more forceful this time. *sigh*
Bruce slowly looks up at him, then blinks. “Clark?” His voice is a broken whisper. Poor Bruce.
“Yes.” He holds Bruce, wraps him in his arms, but doesn’t say anything else. There is nothing he can say. The good thing is, Clark was there for Bruce, IMO.
Every part of this story, every Clark’s thought of Bruce, all Clark and Bruce‘s emotions, actions, their mutual understanding, Clark’s support – that all was so wonderfully written! Marvelous job! Thank you so much for sharing this!
