Are you trying to break my heart? Oh poor Clark! I can't believe it. *hugs Clark*
I love how Bruce refused to let them turn off the machines. He would be the one who never gives up on Clark.
I felt really sad for Clark throughout though. It must be difficult but I like how Bruce was in this story. Yes, he was controlling but he was gentler with Clark and that was nice.
As for the Lex scene, I was cheering Bruce on. And I was proud of Clark for not falling into Lex's little trap.
Bruce just looks at him, whispers. "If I could give that to you, I would. I've relived that night a thousand times. I've had to fight myself every night not to cross that line, find him and kill him in the most painful way possible. I forced myself to watch as they cut and burned away what was left just to save you. I watched a machine breathe for you. I stopped them from turning it off. Jesus, Clark, I read Thackeray to you just in the hope that you'd wake up and tell me to shut the hell up."
Clark smiles, despite himself. "I think Vanity Fair did the trick. I didn't let you get very far."
"I was desperate."
I liked that part. The last few lines made me smile.
It's nice to know that even if Clark has to live with a whole new life, he has Bruce by his side. Though in my head, he healed in time because I hate to see Clark sad and injured. :D
The emotions were done wonderfully! I could feel Clark's pain and longing and Bruce's love.
Thank you. Yes, poor Clark. And I think Bruce would be the last one to give up hope for him.
I don't know how IC it would be for Bruce to confront Lex directly, but my brain went there anyway.
In this, Clark didn't heal, but I'll take the version in your head. I don't like to see him sad and injured either. I just...I don't know where this came from.
