"I love you Lois" said Clark his gaze then turned onto the Kryptonian weapon "Clark no, You can't do this" said Lois "This is my world" said Clark, He looked into Lois eyes and leant in to kiss her, It wasn't a passionate kiss or even a happy kiss, It was a goodbye kiss, His lips left hers as he tried to give her a brave smile, (Kal-El, Clark Joseph Kent, Superman) He had many names but in these next few moments he would become the hero of Earth,

Breaking off from Lois, The Kryptonian gently lifted off the ground.

Kal-El flew & grabbed the spear that had been thrown off in the distance by Lois earlier, The pain was excruciating he could feel the radiation from the crystal decaying his cells "Clark!" Lois shouted he carried on flying unsteadily at the beast which was locked inside of Wonder Woman's lasso.

The final kryptonite gas bomb exploded into the monsters face which ended up dazing the beast with all of Superman's strength being decreased from the kryptonite spear he plunged the tip into the chest of the behemoth, Both of them in that moment screamed in agony.

Wonder Woman let go of the lasso which allowed the arms of the beast to now become free he then use his left hand & grabbed Superman and used his other hand which was cut off by Wonder Woman with her magical sword and was now in the form of an ivory spike.

Superman plunged the spear deeper into his enemy's chest while the spike from the beast forced itself directly into heart of it's fellow kryptonian.

Superman grunts as the pain coursed through his body, Doomsdays energy released for the last time in one almighty blast and killed the both of them.

This was the end of a God, This was the end of Superman.

Two weeks later

Metropolis

After the clear up of the city, a funeral for Superman was taking place at the same time as a funeral for Clark Kent was taking place. The whole world watched as Metropolis held a huge ritual for the man who saved billions of lives that day.

If the beast was stronger than Superman and Superman can destroy the planet in one punch, Imagine what Doomsday could have done if Superman hadn't been able to stop him.

Smallville

Lois cried on his bed at Smallville he was really gone, Why did Superman leave her, He was the one man who wasn't allowed to leave her, The night he died was especially difficult when she stepped into their apartment alone.

The cold hard truth had hit her at that moment which made her sink to the floor on her knees as she cried her eyes out knowing that she was never going to see him and that beautiful smile of his again that she loved to look at.

There were times when him being a superhero kinda sucked for them, He had little time to spend any attention on her, Sure the sex was mind-blowingly great but it felt like he was holding back, Also there were no sweet touches or little kisses because they were either working separately or he was busy saving someone.

It annoyed her at times but she didn't want him to leave her life she needed him and now she would have to figure out how to live her life without him.

Diana Prince stood next to Bruce Wayne, They watched on in sadness at their ally being buried no less than 10 feet away "They do not know how to honour him, Except as a soldier" Bruce then spoke "I have failed him in life, I will not fail him in death" he turned his head towards Diana she was beautiful yes but was she a bit too young for him he was nearly 46 while she looked in her early thirties.

Little did he know that the Amazon Princess was actually 5000 years old, It hadn't stopped him before but deep down he knew the only woman who he loved and will always love is his beloved Selina Kyle, No other woman could come even close to the love he had for Catwoman "Help me find the others like you?" Bruce asked "Maybe they don't want to be found" Diana replied "They will and they will fight, We have to stand together." said Bruce.

The both of them watched Lois place the dirt on top of Clark's coffin. "One hundred years ago I walked away from mankind, A century later, Men standing together is impossible" said Diana "Yet he tried and I will honour that" Bruce said gesturing to the coffin in the ground "What makes you think they will stand together with you?" Diana asked "Let's just say it is a feeling" She nodded and walked away.

He still stared at the new gravestone in the Smallville cemetery "A very bad feeling".

8 hours later in Metropolis

"The world witnesses today a tragedy, A tragedy that will always stay with us" the news reporter announced. "Superman was a hero for many, This day two weeks ago, We saw only one side of Superman a hero, He saved us and today we honour his death with a funeral."

Secretary of Defence Calvin Swanwick & Major Carol Ferris led the empty coffin down the streets of Metropolis.

Smallville

Wonder Woman leant against her car that was parked outside the graveyard, Many thoughts went through her mind all of them about Kal-El, The Amazon didn't know Superman that well but she knew what he has done for this world, He had saved her once without even knowing it, She was walking while at the same time was busy trying to work out how to use her phone when Superman swooped up and saved her from the oncoming train, She was forever in his debt yet he didn't ask for any gifts of gratitude he saved people because it was the right thing to do. She knew the world will miss him and she will miss him.

When meeting Kal for the first time during the fight, Princess Diana felt a connection with him she was exiled from Themyscira while Kal-El's home planet of Krypton was destroyed, It was a similar story, Both lost and alone in a world like this where two unique individuals like them stood out amongst the human race.

The connection she had felt between them was so strong that it could beat almost any argument or fight in the world, Not like the idea of Lois had with him being Superman.

The image of Kal's smile the day he had saved her came to her mind which then brought forth warm tears out of her eyes which were now rolling down her face "Goodbye Kal-El, I will miss you very much, Rest well my love".

Roads of Smallville

Bruce sped back towards Gotham in his black Rolls Royce, His mind was focused on driving & finding the other meta-humans, His nightmares or one would say visions were that of a red planet, The same size as Earth and on that planet was a throne and sat upon it was a dictator, A tyrant who had no problem of killing anyone who opposed him, This alien dictator had the objective of retrieving the mother boxes that he had left centuries ago and now due to Lex Luthor messing around with the kryptonian ship.

This tyrant knew now of Superman's death and was now planning his revenge on Earth for defeating him the last he tried to invade the planet.

"Men are still good, We fight, We betray one another but we can rebuild, We can do better, We will, We have to" Bruce thought to himself.

Metropolis

"Millions of people are here commemorating the outstanding Superman if you see down there where the black coffin is lying with the 'S' Symbol on it underneath it says if you seek his monument look around you. There are people crying while holding up a candle signifying his spirit going up to heaven, It is an unbelievable sight" said the CNN reporter.

Smallville

4:00 AM

Smallville Cemetery.

No one saw him crawl out of his grave, No one saw the Man of Steel still alive, Everyone thought he was dead "Let's keep it that way" thought Clark.

Imagine what the world would think that he just came back to life which now makes him an immortal being, This would only alarm the government even more of his power but first he needed sunlight, His deep chest wound was still visible and that needed to be healed first.

Before flying up he had a quick look around to make sure no one was in the graveyard but then again who would visit a graveyard in the middle of the night, He hovered above the ground, Looking to the sky he proceeded to fly directly up into space.

The Kryptonian closed his eyes & floated directly in front of the son, Feeling his power come back to him again he relived the moments of the fight, The pain when the nuke hit Doomsday & him when they were outside of Earth's orbit, The pain of getting the Kryptonian spear from underwater, He hated feeling defenceless all his life he had become a zen with his powers and couldn't remember a time when he didn't have them.

He then thought about Diana her gracefulness as she took on the beast, Her sexy European accent and that beautiful face of hers, He had met lots of women in his life from saving them but none were as beautiful as Diana he then recalled their brief conversation.

Flashback

Kal landed in front of Batman and was about to ask him if he had got the kryptonite spear but instead he turned his head and looked at Diana "Holy shit she is gorgeous" he thought to himself he then smiled at her "You're strong" said Superman.

Diana smiled at hearing those words "I know" said Wonder Woman "If I may ask who are you and are you kryptonian as well?" he asked "My name's Diana it is an honour to finally meet you Kal-El and to answer your question no I am not Kryptonian, What I am though is an Amazon from an island called Themyscira which houses the toughest women warriors in history" She replied "Nice to know that I am not the only one who is unique in a world like this" said Kal as the two of them smiled at each other.

Present day

Clark then thought about Lois, Lois he forgot all about her, She was most likely mourning like everyone else, Just like his mother he wanted to see them again to tell them that he was still alive and well, but he couldn't not right now.

He needed to get out of here and get off this planet even though this was his world, his home and it will always be his but right now he had to leave in order to regain focus and work on himself, He looked down at Earth and heard the world mourning for him "I'm sorry but i have to do this".

Would the world be better off without Superman?

Well, we'll just wait and see.

One year later

Kal-El was on a planet called Rann, A new peaceful planet he was at a hotel near the flaming ocean it was truly extraordinary seeing the blue vast ocean being greeted with many colours which consisted of green, yellow, red, orange. He couldn't believe some of the stuff that he had seen over the past year and at times had thought to himself why he hadn't done this sooner, Deep space was truly beautiful and to know that it housed (So many planets, So many different races and lifeforms) he travelled to many places including Almerac where he met a very friendly Queen.

A bit too friendly in his opinion thankfully he left before anything happened he had also met people that were shocked to discover that a kryptonian still existed to this day, To them Kryptonians were supposed to be extinct, By luck as well he also discovered a merchant selling various items from various planets he had been able to help this alien with a small problem and in return the alien had given him items that came from krypton which consisted of robes, another Fortress of Solitude crystal due to his previous one being destroyed when he stopped Zod & Faora black zero ship and a phantom zone projector.

The alien had acquired them during the days of Kryptonian space travel.

Kal did his good deeds helping people out when they needed it but his life still did not have a purpose at the moment he turned on the news in the hotel room yes Rann did have TV's and couldn't help notice something "Apokolips is heading to Sector 2814" Kal was shocked Sector 2814 had many planets in it including Aoran, Nok but most importantly Earth, He had heard of Apokolips and the new god who called himself Darkseid, His evil was worse than any other being in the universe, The destroyer & conqueror of worlds, He had thousands of creatures called Parademons at his disposal and his female Furies alongside his uncle General Steppenwolf.

Kal was scared of what Darkseid could do if he attacked Earth, This was saying something.

Superman needed to act.

Earth was his world, His home he needed to go back to Earth.

Space

Watchtower

Batman sat at the head of the Justice League, It was the one year anniversary of Superman's death and he held a commemoration for him on the watchtower, The team was founded on his death, What this meant was that Superman was the founder of the Justice league.

Wonder Woman bowed her head in honour of the Man of Steel who sacrificed his life in order to kill the unkillable.

Their Justice League has gotten bigger over the last year it first started off with her, Batman, The Flash, Cyborg, Shazam & Green lantern.

Now it had members like Aquaman, Mera Curry wife of Aquaman, Black Canary, Zatanna Zatara, Green Arrow, Fire and last of all Dr Fate they monitored daily across the world for any abnormalities since Doomsday but after that incident it had been very quiet ever since.

For Bruce though, The past year had been truly strange for him he had learned that the head of A.R.G.U.S Amanda Waller had formed a team of her own that were made up of very dangerous criminals, A few of these individuals had history against him, Talia Al Ghul had returned to Gotham so that she could introduce him to his biological son Damian Wayne and placed him under Bruce's protection.

The boy had now taken up the mantle of Robin which was hard for Bruce because he promised himself that there would never be another robin after the death of Jason and he ended up breaking that promise.

Bruce's visions had intensified so much that he barely slept, He would wake up every night in a cold sweat, Alfred or Damian had been helping him get through it, What had also happened over the past year was Selina Kyle he had got back in contact with her and the two were together again, Alfred was especially happy that Bruce was seeing Miss Kyle again he knew that Master Wayne loved Selina more than any other woman in his life and it was just a matter of time before Bruce found her again "Batman what else do we need to discuss today?" asked Aquaman "It's happening" said Batman.
