Author's Note: Set during the Justice League episode 'Hereafter'.



I fell into blinding light.

At first it was all to much for my battered body to process, and I could not see or hear anything.

When at last I could see, my blood ran cold.

Deadshot was on the roof of a building and no one had noticed.

He was aiming at Bruce.

My heart stopped.

No one had seen me yet, all to caught up in their 'conversation' with Lobo.

No one could see Deadshot firing.

Firing!

I was almost to late. I almost didn't save him in time.

Almost.

But I did, and Bruce, as I knew he would, recovered first and paralyzed the man who had dared try to shoot him.

I stood behind the cloud of smoke that obscured me from them.

No one could see my fear...or my relief.

But I could see through the smoke. I could see him.

And I knew.

I was smiling even before the smoke disappeared.

Mmm, I like this! Clark saving Bruce is just what he does so well.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! I think a large part of Clark's job description is just to save Bruce. (especially from us writers! ;))

I love seeing Clark panic before common sense kicks in and he saves the day.

I also love the image of Clark having a moment to 'recover' before anyone can see what expression is on his face.

Well, I'm lucky the episode worked that way. I just made it more slashier. ;)

Any true slasher does that to every moment in every episode they are together so... lol.

This was really nice. I like that even though Clark is afraid and unsure of what's going to happen to him, he's even more concerned with Bruce and his safety. How very Clark of him :)

I also like the tension at the beginning, when he notices Deadshot.

Now I can go to sleep with visions of Clark saving Bruce...

Aw, I really like this kind of story, that looks into the person's head during a moment in canon and tells us what they're thinking. Love the explanation for that smile! It seems very plausible, somehow. :)
