The sharp crackle of comms static was the only sound filling the void, until Clarkās voice came through.
āBruce? Bruce, come in.ā The panic in Clarkās voice was new. Raw. Not the calm, measured concern of Superman ā but the desperation of a man watching someone he loves fall too far out of reach.
Nothing came back through the line.
He was already cutting through the clouds before Alfred could even patch coordinates. The warehouse on the East-End was half-collapsed, smoke curling from its shattered windows. Heat still radiated off the wreckage. Clarkās heart dropped as his x-ray vision scanned the rubble desperately.
Buried under the twisted metal of a collapsed support beam, a shattered grappling line still clenched tightly in his fist, was Batman. Blood smeared the edge of his cowl, pooling at his temple, and his leg was bent weirdly.. Definitely not broken, but definitely injured.
Clark didnāt think about anything but him as he tore the debris away like paper, cradled Bruce in his arms as gently as possible, and spoke quietly to him. āYouāre okay. Youāre okay, Bruce, Iāve got you.ā He whispered, even though Bruce was unconscious (& not okay).
The BatCave was dim when Clark flew in ā quiet⦠save for the hum of the computers and the soft beeping of medical equipment. Alfred was already preparing the necessary supplies, of course, as Clark laid Bruce onto the medical table gently, treating him as if he was made of glass.
āHeās stable,ā Alfred began with a murmur. āBut concussed. Dislocated shoulder, broken femur⦠And knowing Master Bruce ā bruised pride.ā
Clark gave a strained half-laugh, brushing the blood-matted hair from Bruceās forehead. āYeah⦠sounds about right.ā
Hours passed. The suit had been cut away, wounds cleaned and wrapped.
Bruce still hadnāt woken.
Clark still hadnāt left.
He sat beside the medbay, elbows on knees, cape draped across his lap like a weighted blanket. He watched the steady rise and fall of Bruceās chest like it might stop if he blinked too long.
āYou idiotā¦ā He muttered eventually. āCharging in alone. Again.ā He leaned forward, voice quiet.
āYou keep doing this. Running headfirst into danger like your bodyās made of Kevlar and instead of⦠skin and bones.ā His voice caught, just for a second. āI canāt keep patching you up like this, Bruce⦠One day, I wonāt be fast enoughā¦ā
A low groan broke the silence.
Clarkās head shot up and his eyes locked onto Bruceās face ā and he was met by a grimace as Bruce slowly cracked one eye open.
āYou talk too muchā¦ā Bruce rasped.
Clark huffed a relieved breath, almost a laugh, as the weight finally lifted off his chest.
āYouāre awake. Good.ā Clark would sigh quietly.
Bruce tried to push himself up, then winced sharply. āHow bad is it?ā He finally questioned.
āBad enough,ā Clark began, placing a gentle hand on his shoulderto stop him from moving. āBut youāll live. Again.ā
Bruce glanced around, brows furrowing. āBack in the Cave?ā
āYeah⦠I got you out before the rest of the building came down.ā Clark explained simply, worried heād confuse the recently awakened (and concussed) man in front of him if he went into exact detail.
Bruce was quiet for a moment. Then, softer than usual (especially for Bruce)... āYou stayed.ā He mumbled. Whether he meant it as a question or a statement, he didnāt even know.
Clark looked at him, eyes scanning his face. Searching. āOf course I did.ā He stated simply.
Bruceās gaze softened, the hard lines of his usual scowl melting just a little⦠āYou didnāt have to, Clarkā¦ā He mumbled.
āI always will.ā Clark said, his voice firmer than usual. āWhether you like it or not.ā He stated simply.
āGood.ā He began. āBecause Iām tired of waking up alone.ā He admitted quietly.
āThen you wonāt have to anymore.ā
