Third person's POV

Joey sat before his large monitor. Watching the colored dots and lines beep across the screen. Everything seemed to be rather calm at the moment so that was good he thought. Joey leaned back in the chair and got comfortable.

He was just about to doze off when an ear-piercing beeping sounded in his ears. Joey glanced at the screen and saw 4 red dots all flashing in the center of the screen.

Joey immediately leaped off the chair and tore off his clothes, revealing the smooth, dark charcoal material below. He pulled the mask over his face.

Batman rushed outside and hoped in his batmobile.  He speed to the crime scene, zipping past and weaving between other vehicles. He leaped out of the batmobile and ran to the alleyway. He could hear bangs and yells as he got closer. Eventually he made it around the corner and spotted the criminals. There were three men dressed in dark clothes, all surrounding a girl.

"Give us your necklace!"

The gruff voice of the leader said.

"N-No!"

The leader stepped towards her and she was pressed against the brick wall of the alleyway.

"HEY!"

Batman yelled at the man.

"Oh look, it's Batboy!"

"It's Batman."

"Sure it is."

"Leave her alone or we are going to have a problem."

"What are you gonna do abo-"

The man was cut of by a swirl of wind and a cloud of dust. When it cleared a tall man dressed in red and blue stood before them.

"He said to leave her alone."

Superman growled.

"Why are you here!?"

Batman yelled at him and Superman looked back at the group of criminals.

"To help, because that's what I do."

"I don't think I need your help."

The leader stepped closer to the girl again while the heroes squabbled and she screamed. Superman looked behind him and saw this. He open his mouth and breathed out heavily. The man froze and started to become pale. Ice formed on his chest and face until the man was surrounded by ice. The girl took the opportunity to run away into the night.

"So you don't want my help?"

"No!"

"Well, you might not want it but it looks like you might need it."

Angered, Batman flung a batarang that narrowly missed Superman's head, instead pinning one of the other two criminals to the wall by his sleeve. 

"Hey! Watch it!"

Superman exclaimed.

Superman's eyes burned red and he turned to the remaining thief. Before he could fire the fatal shot the man rushed to the one pinned against the wall, pulled out the batarang and they both ran off in fear.

"You let them get away!"

Batman shouted and Superman turned back to the furious one.

"Why do you keep letting them get away and ruining everything?!"

"Because I know there is still good in them. They will change and be better people."

"And how would you know that?"

"Because there's good in everyone's heart, even if it is sometimes hard to find."

Batman's anger was slowly melting and he just stared at Superman in awe. Superman had to repress a light smile.

Then a loud crack was heard behind them. They turned and saw the criminal leader standing there, broken out of the ice. Without hesitation the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a pistol. But it didn't look like a regular pistol, he puller the trigger and a small, brilliant, green gem flung towards the man in red and blue.

Superman yowled in pain and collapsed to the ground as the speck landed in his chest, just above his heart. Batman punched to criminal in the face, knocking him out and then quickly tied him up.

"Superman?"

He said turning to the collapsed hero who grumbled in agony.

Batman knelt beside him and cautiously pushed him onto his back so he could see the wound.

He pulled tweezers from his belt and inspected the damage.

"The kryptonite is near your heart, I don't know if I will be able to get it out before the would closes..."

"Where's The Flash when you need him?"

Batman looked at the man who grinned bashfully despite his excruciating pain. He just stared for a moment before continuing to get the krypotnite out.

"Why don't you do me a favor and lose the sense of humor?"

"Why don't you do us both a favor and buy one?"

"......"

"......"

"......"

Batman eventually managed to get all of the kryptonite out of Superman's chest. They were now in a position of Batman kneeling and leaning over Superman who was lying on his back against the brick alleyway wall. Their faces only inches apart.

Superman found himself too lost in the depth of green, blue eyes to look away, as did Batman.

Suddenly Batman caught himself and cleared his throat, awkwardly standing up.

"Uh... I-I Uh..."

He stuttered held a hand out to the injured boy, helping him up.

"Thanks Bat."

"U-uh no p-problem.."

Superman flashed his signature grin and Batman was instantly bewildered. 

What was going?

He thought as he walked away from the boy and back to the batmobile.

He sat in it, resting his head against the steering wheel for a long time. Just thinking.

What is happening?

I thought I hated Superman but he actually is quite... sweet.

And undoubtedly handsome...

He looks kind of familiar, as if I know him from somewhere but I don't have a clue how.

What about Daniel? I still really, really like him but now I like Superman too?

What am I going to do...?

Batman realized that moping wouldn't get him anywhere. He drove back to his mansion and parked the batmobile. Hopping out, he headed back to his top secret vault with all his Batman things. He stripped out of his suit and got back into a regular t-shirt and jeans. He was simply overthinking things. 

Besides, there's no way I could ever be with either of them. Daniel can't find out that I'm Batman and Superman must never know my secret identity.

I guess I'll just be alone forever. 

That's fine with me, I like to be alone.

Daniel's POV

I lay on my bed, drowning in my thought's. Consumed by them. This whole Batman thing was causing my own mind to have a disputation. 

I really, really like Joey.

I really, really feel something towards Batman.

I know I want to be with Joey but I also want to explore about Batman, there had to be so much more underneath that mask.

I tossed and turned under the covers before ultimately throwing them all off.

I decided to go for a walk, just to think. I left my room and walked down the hall. I was about to go down the stairs to get a glass of water when my legs decided to go up instead. After a while I made it to the top and found myself on the roof of the mansion. Overlooking the entire city.

But then again it wouldn't work out with either because I can't let Joey find out that I'm Superman and I most certainly cannot let Batman know who I really am.

The soft wind brushed through my dark curls and I looked up into the lonely moon.

I guess I will just be forever alone. 

I don't like being alone...
