@luthcrandsupcr asked: “Make Me Feel” (Clark)
27. my muse got caught in an accident and yours had to witness it
Lex was back. Something happened and he wasn’t in jail anymore, but he was being celebrated? Clark was baffled as he saw the man on the television screen at work, but when he heard the cry he went running toward danger, ready to save the day alongside Conner. Today, though? That was a mistake.
When they’d arrived at the scene, Clark asked Conner to stay back while he canvassed the area. They were outside a warehouse on the outskirts of Metropolis, and everything looked deserted, aside from the voice of a woman calling out for help. Something seemed….off, so Clark sped around the building, his eyes scanning the area for the woman — no sign of anyone inside the building, he should check it out. “Superboy, Stay put. I’ll be right back,” he nodded, flying into the building through an open window. There was no woman, and while Clark knew it deep down, he couldn’t risk a life being lost because he didn’t thoroughly check the premises. Someone had rigged Kryptonite throughout the warehouse, and when Clark flew in, he immediately felt his energy drain. With his energy quickly depleting, Clark went from flying to free fall, falling two stories into the concrete floor of the warehouse. While this didn’t knock him unconscious, it did disorient him as the kryptonite continued to affect him.
Pulling himself to his feet, Clark struggled to make his way out, his vision wobbly. Just then, he was jolted upwards, carried by an unknown being. The pair burst through the roof, where Conner could see that Metallo held Clark by his cape. Still affected by the kryptonite standing in for Metallo’s heart, green veins snaked across Clark’s skin. “Superboy, Run!” His weres were quiet and raspy, but he knew the boy could hear him. He knew without proper protection, this could end just as bad for the young man.
