Chapter 19

The battle had finally ended, Steppenwolf was defeated. On the roof of the Nuclear Plant, we could see the roots that Steppenwolf had put turn into plants. Arthur was holding on to me, and I was as happy as I could possibly be. Strange plants were growing on top of the roots, and we all just smiled at what we were seeing.

"Glad I didn't miss this," Clark spoke. Then he gave a side glance towards Arthur and I and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.
"So am I," replied Diana.
"Yeah, now she's glad," Bruce spoke while looking sideways towards Diana. All of us just kept staring at the peace at the end of this battle, happy with ourselves.

"Now, I want to know what is going on," Clark spoke. All of us were on our way back home, and Clark looked mad, to say the least.

"Well, you see, we are kinda, somewhat dating..." I replied. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked as though he hated Arthur. Judging by his glare, he looked so mad that the devil would have to hold him back to stop him from killing Arthur. Arthur also had a glare towards Clark, but I tugged his hand to make him look at me. When he looked at me, I sent him a reassuring smile, with that Arthur spoke,

"I love her with my life, and she is my queen," Arthur spoke while looking into my eyes. Then, he grabbed my hand, and kissed the top of it, while still looking into my eyes. When I suddenly remembered that Clark was here, and blushed while I looked back towards him.

Clark was looking at both of us with happiness, but there was also longing in his eyes. I knew that Clark wanted what he had developed in such a long time. I knew maybe one girl who can make him smile like he used to, I would have to call her up, but that was for another time.

"I approve," Clark looked at the both of us and smiled. I could hear Arthur breath out a sigh of relief, and Clark and I both hid our chuckles.

Third POV
"'Thank you' is not enough for what you did," spoke Clark.
"I just undid a mistake. That's all," replied Bruce. He still blames himself for what had happened, and there was no knowing if he would ever forgive himself for it.

The both of them looked at Autumn and Martha moving their stuff back to Kent's home.
Both Autumn and Martha were laughing together, smiling in happiness that they were able to get their home back. They're also happy that Clark was back. When they looked back at both Bruce and Clark, they were once again smiling and happiness. They wouldn't have to worry anymore and mourn Clark's death.

"How did you get the house back from the bank?" Clark questioned. He was both curious and concerned about what Bruce had to do to get his home back.
"I bought the bank," Bruce spoke with a sigh. Clark looked at him with surprise, and they started walking to the house.
"The whole bank?" Clark questioned in shock.

"It's like a reflex with me, I don't know," Bruce replied, and that's the end of the conversation.
