“What are we going to do?” Wonder Girl asked, fear painted on her face.

“I’ve got an idea.” Superman stated. “Kyle, I’m going to tear open a hole in the wall to our left, when I do that, I want you to get everyone out of here and down to earth, got it?”

“Alright, Supes! But what about the crew members on the bridge and medical bay, hell, Nightwing is down there!? We can’t just leave them here to die!”

“Everyone on the bridge knows the safety protocols, and there are emergency transporters in the medical bay, they’ll be fine, now get ready.”

“If you say so. Wait, what about you, what will you be doing while we’re getting to safety?”

“I’m going to try and slow this the towers decent to lessen the impact.”

“Clark, don’t be foolish!” Batman yelled over the still blaring alarm. “You won’t be able to do it alone; Connor, you’re going to stay behind and help him, got it?”

“No, Bruce, it’s too dangerous, I won’t allow him to risk his life unnecessarily!”

“Wake up, Clark! If he doesn’t stay behind to help you, more people will die down there when the Watchtower makes impact, do you really want that on your conscience?”

With time running out and seeing the truth in Batman’s words, Superman conceded.

“Alright. Connor, are you okay with that?”

“You know me, Clark, always ready.” Superboy replied, putting on a smile to reassure his friends.

“Alright then, let’s go!”

“Wait! Just in case I don’t make it back…”

Reaching over and taking Wonder Girls hand, he pulled her close to him.

“Cassie, in case I don’t make it back, just know that I love you, okay?”

He pulled her up against him and pressed his lips against hers. He broke the kiss slowly, not really anxious for it to end. The next thing he felt was her hand slapping him across the face.

“You big jerk!” she screamed at him. “Don’t talk like that! You have to come back.”

She started to choke up.

“You just have to.”

“He will, Cassie, I promise.” Superman broke in. “Connor, we don’t have any more time for this, let’s go.”

“Alright, Clark, let’s do it!”

“Remember to take a deep breath before we get out there.”

“I know.”

Superman wasted no time. In a blink, he was standing in front of the wall, digging his fingers into the thick metal like it was tissue paper. He paused for a brief moment before pulling it free and turned to the group.

“Now, Kyle!”

With that, he tore the large chunk from the wall just as a green globe encompassed the last of the other heroes. Green Lantern, with friends in tow, was the first to go through the opening.

Superman motioned to Superboy to go ahead. The truth was, he wanted to keep an eye on him; he’d made a promise to Cassie, and he intended to keep it.

It was always strange to see that the concept of ‘truth justice and the American way’, an ideal which most Americans had turned their backs on long ago, being embraced so strongly by a man not even native to this world.

As soon as Superboy made his way through the opening, Superman followed right behind him.

Once out side, he motioned to his impromptu partner, pointing to the spot on the tower he wanted him to be. They each took their positions, pushing the huge tower with all their might as flames began to consume it upon reentry into earth’s atmosphere. Neither of them looked back, they knew how long they had to slow this behemoth down, and they didn’t need any distraction.
