âshh, it was just a nightmare.
â But it felt so real. â
A shaky breath leaves him, and heâs sitting up to properly adjust into the womanâs arms. Part of him hated suddenly being so vulnerable, but another part of him knew that Diana wouldnât pester him or make him feel weird about it, she was here to help. God, he wishes he just couldnât even dream.
The images are still racking his mind, and heâs rubbing his eyes with a frown. It was hard to think about, but so easy at the same time. He had been Superman in this dream. Kal-El had died, and he was now Superman. The cheers of the crowd, the approval of all his friends and elders, yes, it helped cushion the blow, but what was the point if his father figure wouldnât be there to witness it all?
A realization hits him in that moment, and heâs looking back up to his current source of comfort.
â I ainât ready tâbe Superman. I thought I was but.. Iâm not ready. My dad ainât gonna die anytime soon though, right? â
