Clark stared at his friends with red-tinted eyes, which sometimes glowed when his alter ego took control, affecting not only his mind but also his emotions. People often associate colors with feelings, and one thing Chloe and Pete knew for sure was that Clark's reddish anger was simmering just beneath the surface.
They had rarely seen him so mad. One time, when Chloe was hurt by a guy, Clark was so furious that he stared at the guy for just a few seconds, and the guy ran away in fear. Itâs hard to imagine anger on Clarkâs typically golden faceâyouâd think this was someone who didnât experience anger at all, given his heart of gold. Yet, even the people closest to him could sometimes glimpse the darker emotions within.
"Clark, listenâyou need to take the ring off," Chloe urged, her voice shaky as she hid behind Pete, who stood protectively in front of her. They both backed away slowly from Clark, who smirked and approached them, each step he took radiating more danger.
"Oh, that? I donât think I will," Clark replied with a smug grin, until his madness wiped the smile from his face. His eyes flared with heat vision, and a fiery beam shot up at the ceiling, causing it to collapse. Chloe and Pete quickly moved, trying to escape the disaster, but a force field surrounded them.
Y/N appeared in front of her friends, her hands raised, glowing with a reddish energy sphere as she grunted with effort. She tossed the falling debris aside, then turned to Chloe and Pete.
"Y/N!! Heâsâ," Pete started.
"I know, Pete. You need to go, now!" she interrupted, placing a reassuring hand on their shoulders. They nodded and hurried away.
Clark's smirk returned as he addressed her. "Well, well, who do we have here? Mrs. 'I wanna save the world'? You better back off, because that title belongs to me." He chuckled darkly.
Y/N turned her head to face Clark, letting out a sigh. "I know this isnât the real you, Clark."
"Oh, but it is. You just canât handle the fact that I have more power than you," he taunted.
"Thatâs never been a concern of mine. The only thing that concerns me is that you were ready to kill your own friends!" Y/N shouted, her voice filled with anger and pain. She knew Clark was under the influence of the red kryptonite, but the sight of him almost killing their friends had shaken her deeply.
"It wasnât that bad," Clark scoffed, tilting his head as Y/N slowly formed a reddish energy sphere in her hand. She stood bravely before him, but deep down, fear gnawed at her. She loved him, and she knew that, somewhere beneath this twisted exterior, he loved her too. She couldnât bring herself to fight or hurt himânot when it was Clark.
"So, it wouldnât matter if it were your parents?" she asked, trying to reach him.
"They arenât my parents, Y/N," he spat out, his voice dripping with venom. The words shocked her. Her eyes widened, and pain surged through her heart. He would never say that. Never.
Clark had always been grateful for Martha and Jonathan, for the life they had given himâa life he might never have had otherwise.
"Take off that ring. Now," Y/N shouted, her voice trembling with a mix of desperation and anger. But Clark just laughed.
"Then youâll have to kill me to do that," he replied, his laughter echoing through the room.
Y/Nâs eyes hardened with resolve, but before she could react, she felt a crushing blow to her back. She flew across the room, slamming into the wall as Clark laughed behind her. He had used his super speed.
"Oh, wait! You canât even do thatâyou're weaker," Clark taunted, his words a cruel reminder of the imbalance between them. Y/N gasped for air as Clark approached, but something inside her snapped. She raised both hands and unleashed twin blasts of reddish energy at him, sending him collapsing to the ground. She might not be as strong as Clark, but they both knew that her energy field was somehow his weakness.
Determined, she walked toward him, launching larger blasts of energy. Clark, now on his knees, struggled to resist, shielding himself with one arm. Through the blinding light, all he could see were her glowing, red eyes. She remained silent, and for a fleeting moment, something in Clark felt fear. But that fear only fueled his rage.
With a sudden burst of speed, he dodged her energy attacks and appeared beside her, landing a powerful punch to her head. The force sent Y/N flying out of the room and crashing into the next one.
Y/N groaned, pushing herself up from the debris. Her vision blurred for a moment, but she forced herself to focus, adrenaline rushing through her veins. Clark was already speeding toward her again, his eyes glowing with the heat vision he was preparing to unleash.
Y/N reacted quickly, throwing up a force field that absorbed the fiery blast, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. Clark skidded to a halt, his expression darkening as he realized she wasnât going down so easily.
"You can't win this, Y/N," he growled. âWell iâm not here to win, I am here to wake u up Clark," she snapped back, her hands glowing with energy.Â
In an instant, Clark lunged at her with superhuman speed, but Y/N was ready. She spun on her heel, raising a hand, and sent a wave of energy that rippled through the air. The blast hit Clark square in the chest, hurling him into a nearby wall with a deafening crash. The room shook from the impact, but Clark recovered almost instantly, leaping back onto his feet.
Y/N didn't give him time to counter. She flew forward, propelling herself through the air with the force of her energy blasts, and launched a barrage of glowing orbs at him. Each one struck with a concussive force, but Clark dodged and weaved between them with his superspeed, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.Â
He grabbed her by the wrist, twisting her arm and slamming her into the ground. Y/N gasped in pain, but she quickly retaliated, sending a pulse of energy through his grip, causing him to release her. She flipped back to her feet, her breathing ragged but her determination unwavering.
Clark's eyes burned with fury as he charged again, his fists aiming straight for her. Y/N dodged and ducked under his blows, using her agility to avoid his attacks while striking back with her energy-infused punches. One hit landed squarely on his jaw, staggering him for a split second. But Clark recovered faster than she could react, grabbing her by the throat and lifting her off the ground.
"Youâre getting on my last nerve, Y/L/N" he hissed, tightening his grip.
Y/N struggled, feeling the strength draining from her as Clark's power overwhelmed her. Desperately, she raised a hand, summoning all the energy she could muster. A blinding red sphere formed in her palm, and with a roar of defiance, she slammed it into Clark's chest. The force of the blast sent him flying across the room, crashing through several walls.
Panting heavily, Y/N stumbled backward, her vision flickering with exhaustion. She knew this fight was taking everything she had, but she couldn't give up. Not now.
But Clark wasnât done. He emerged from the rubble, more furious than ever. In the blink of an eye, he sped toward her again, this time grabbing a shard of sharp metal debris from the broken walls. Before Y/N could react, Clark drove the shard into her side.
A sharp, searing pain ripped through her body as she collapsed to the ground, gasping in agony. Blood seeped from the wound, and she clutched at it, trying to hold herself together. Clark stood over her, breathing heavily, his face twisted in anger and madness.
"Itâs over," he said coldly.
Y/Nâs vision blurred as the pain overwhelmed her senses, but deep inside, she still had one last move. Summoning the last of her strength, she reached deep within herself, tapping into her reality-warping power. Her hands glowed faintly, and through her pain, she whispered, âsurprise."
In an instant, the world around them shimmered, and suddenly, Clark staggered, his eyes wide in shock. Glowing green rocks appeared on the floor in front of himâgreen kryptonite. The one thing that could weaken him.
Clark fell to his knees, clutching his chest as the kryptonite drained his strength. He gasped, his body shaking with pain as he tried to crawl away, but the damage had already been done.Â
Y/N, still lying on the ground, her breath shallow, watched him with pain-filled eyes. "You may be stronger, Clark," she whispered, "but I know how to stop you."
Clark's strength continued to fade, the kryptonite draining the last of his power, leaving him utterly helpless. Y/N watched him, his once invincible figure now writhing in undeniable pain. Her heart clenched at the sight.
Despite the stabbing pain in her side, she forced herself to move, each breath agonizing as she crawled closer. Every inch felt like a mile, but she couldnât leave him like this. Clarkâs voice, faint and broken, reached her ears. At first, she thought it might be her imagination, or perhaps the delirium of her own nearing unconsciousness. But no⊠it was real.
âHelp me, Y/N...â His voice was weak, almost a whisper, pleading.
Her trembling hand reached out, barely brushing against his. With the last of her strength, she summoned her power, the reddish glow returning faintly to her fingertips.
With a flick of her hand, she willed the red kryptonite to shatter. The world around them rippled, and the dark haze that clouded Clarkâs mind vanished as her energy absorbed the malevolent force. The room began to return to its normal state, the reality she had warped fading away. But with each passing moment, Y/N could feel the toll it took on her body. Her power was draining her faster than she could recover.
She collapsed forward, her weakened body falling onto Clarkâs chest. Her breathing was shallow, her strength nearly gone, but she had done it. The red kryptonite was destroyed, and Clark was free.
Both of them lay there, broken and battered. The chaos around them had subsided, but the silence that filled the room carried the weight of everything they had just survived. Y/N closed her eyes, her hand still resting on Clarkâs, feeling the faint rise and fall of his chest beneath her.
He was safe, and for now, that was all that mattered. Clarkâs body lay still as Y/N collapsed on his chest, her breath faint against his skin.Â
The haze of the red kryptonite had lifted, and with it, the fog of madness that had clouded his mind. Slowly, his strength began to return, the kryptonite on the floor no longer affecting him as Y/N's energy dissipated it. He blinked, his vision clearing, and reality crashed down on him like a tidal wave.
The first thing he saw was Y/N lying against him, pale and barely conscious, blood seeping from the wound he had inflicted. His heart sank, a cold wave of guilt tightening around his chest. His mind raced back to the moment he had stabbed her, driven by the red kryptonite, and the horror of what he'd almost done to his friendsâwhat he had done to Y/N.
"No..." His voice trembled as he gently cradled Y/N in his arms. "Y/N...? Hey please.."
Footsteps echoed in the distance, and Clark heard the voices of his friends rushing toward the destroyed room. Chloe and Pete burst in first, their eyes wide with shock as they took in the devastation around them. Chloeâs gaze landed on Y/N in Clarkâs arms, and she immediately ran over, her face pale.
âOh my God⊠Y/N!â Chloe dropped to her knees beside them, her hands hovering, not knowing what to do. Pete stood frozen, his eyes filled with both fear and disbelief.
âWhat happened?!â Pete finally managed to ask, his voice shaking.
Clark couldnât meet their eyes. âI⊠I hurt her,â he whispered, his voice breaking. âI hurt all of you.â
Before he could say more, Jonathan and Martha rushed in behind them, their faces etched with panic. Marthaâs eyes instantly found Clark, her sonâbruised, exhaustedâand the girl in his arms. âClarkâŠ?â
Jonathan hurried forward, kneeling beside Y/N. "We need to get her to the hospital. Now."
Without hesitation, Jonathan gently took Y/N from Clarkâs arms, and Pete and Chloe helped guide them through the wreckage toward the exit.
Y/N spoke with an exhausted voice, that sounded like a whisper to Jonathan. ,,Jonathan...is Clark alright..?'' He glanced at her and saw how her eyes closed and her face soften.
Clark stood frozen for a moment, watching as his father carried her out, her limp body barely moving. The guilt clawed at him with every breath.
Hours passed in a blur of white lights and distant murmurs. Clark sat in the waiting room, his head in his hands, Martha sitting beside him, her hand resting gently on his back. He hadnât spoken much since they arrived. The weight of what had happened bore down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He couldnât stop replaying the events over and over in his headâthe madness, the rage, and how close he came to losing control completely.
Jonathan entered the waiting room, his face grim but relieved. âSheâs stable,â he said quietly. âThe doctors are treating her wound. Sheâs going to need time to heal, but sheâll be okay.â
Clark let out a shaky breath, a mixture of relief and shame washing over him. "I could have killed her, Dad," he whispered, his voice barely audible.
Jonathan exchanged a glance with Martha before sitting down in front of Clark. "Son, what happened?"
Clark raised his eyes, guilt written in every line of his face. âI wasnât myself. The red kryptoniteâit took control. I couldnât stop it... Iâ" His voice broke. "I stabbed her. I almost killed her. I⊠I wouldâve hurt Chloe and Pete, too.â
Martha moved closer, wrapping her arms around him. "Clark, that wasnât you. The red kryptonite twists your mind. Youâre not in control when it takes over.â "But I let it happen!" Clark snapped, his fists clenching. "I let it change me, and I didnât fight it. I hurt Y/N. I almost lost her because of me."
Jonathan sighed deeply. âI understand why you feel that way, Clark. But blaming yourself wonât change what happened. What matters now is making sure this never happens again.â
Clark looked up at his father, his eyes filled with remorse. âHow do I live with this? How do I face her, knowing I did this?â
Jonathan placed a firm hand on his shoulder. âYou face it by being there for her. By making amends and doing everything you can to help her heal. And you remember that she saved you, even after everything that happened. That means she still believes in you.â
Martha gently stroked Clarkâs hair, her voice soft but steady. "Youâve always had such a good heart, Clark. Thatâs who you are. Not the person you became under that ring. Y/N knows that. We know that."
Tears welled up in Clarkâs eyes, but he quickly wiped them away, trying to hold himself together. He nodded slowly, though the guilt still weighed heavily on him. âI donât know how to fix this.â
Jonathan looked at him with a calm but serious expression. âYou start by being the person she knows you are. The person we all know you are.â
Clark sat in silence, his mind racing. He knew his parents were right, but the wound inside him was deep. He hadnât just hurt Y/N physicallyâhe had nearly betrayed everything he stood for, everything he believed in. Yet, as his father had said, Y/N had saved him. Even after all the pain he caused, she had used the last of her strength to free him from the red kryptoniteâs hold.
Taking a deep breath, Clark stood up. âI need to see her.â
Jonathan and Martha exchanged a glance but nodded, understanding.
Clark walked slowly into Y/Nâs hospital room, the soft beep of monitors filling the quiet space. She lay on the bed, still pale but breathing steadily. He hesitated by the door, afraid to come closer, afraid of the shame that came with seeing her like thisâbecause of him.
But as he stepped closer, Y/N stirred, her eyes fluttering open. She saw him and managed a faint smile, despite the pain. âClarkâŠâ
He moved to her side, kneeling beside the bed, his eyes full of guilt. "Iâm so sorry, Y/N. Iâ"
Y/N reached out weakly and placed her hand over his. "Clark⊠I know. I know it wasnât you. Itâs okay."
Clark shook his head, tears stinging his eyes. "No, itâs not okay. I couldâve lost you. I almost did⊠and Iâll never forgive myself for that."
Her fingers squeezed his hand gently. âBut you didnât. Iâm still here. And so are you. You won't get rid of me that easilyâ
Clark lowered his head, his chest tightening. âIâll never let anything like that happen again. I promise you.â
Y/N smiled, a tired but genuine expression, as she squeezed his hand again. âI believe youâŠand I have an idea what you can do for meââ
Clark smiled with small tears in his eyes ,,whatever you wish, please tell meââÂ
,,you own me a danceââ Y/N smiles weakly.
,,the dance from prom?ââ Clark chuckled.
,,yeah that danceââ She leans closer to her pillow and smiles.
,,i would love to dance with youââ He takes her hand and kiss it softly.
