Part II:

New worlds... The sheer amount of information on the ship staggered him. He had access now to data about tens of thousands of worlds; the boy who had stared up at the mystery of the stars now had at his fingertips the proof of life strewn throughout the galaxy, even in other galaxies altogether.
“the boy who had stared up at the mystery of the stars” - excellent line

After a moment, Clark said "Narrow feed to transmissions from the last forty-eight hours containing search term: Bruce Wayne."
AWWWW, Clark searching after Bruce! :)

Bruce was wearing an impeccable navy-blue suit with a scarlet tie, and Clark couldn't help but wonder for a moment if those colors were pre-meditated.
*smile*

He fought for us all--not just the people of Earth, but for the thousands of worlds that had been stolen before us. That's heroism."
And that’s Superman. :D

"Superman. You leaped into the unknown to face a monstrous foe and save us all, and we can never thank you enough. I just hope..." He swallowed and looked down for an instant. "I hope that someday I'll have the chance to make a leap of faith like you did, a chance to help you like you helped all of us."
WOW, “a leap of faith” - perfect. :)

and felt a smile tugging at his face. He was pretty sure he wouldn't be needing a playboy billionaire to charge in like the cavalry and save him anytime soon, but there was a kind of comfort to knowing Bruce was sincere under all the exaggeration.
I love the smile. :)

That Bruce was down there
YES, Down there... And I hope Clark will join him soon. :D

I loved it! I love how much they think and support each other though they can't be together just now. And Clark isnpired Bruce to make his suit - awesome. :D And I so loved Clark knew Bruce was thinking of him at the end of this chapter.
Excellently done! Thank you very much for sharing this. :)

I love imagining Clark being interested in astronomy as a kid, even when he doesn't know he isn't from Earth!

Eeee, I love seeing you icon and knowing that in that in this story he's looking down and thinking of Bruce! He'll be heading down to see Bruce again next chapter--but he might only meet Batman instead for a little while. *grin*
