My Marvel of a universe (Worthy of you)
The machine spread out tendrils and talons and started to consume the planet.
Clark and Diana stood back with Zeus and watched.
“Hell has no furry “ thought Clark
The nanites craved energy they consumed the robots they consumed the planet and they changed it all to fit the needs and the purpose before them.
Freedom must be achieve it was the source of the program.
Doorways opened and closed and opened again all in a fraction of time a millisecond to late and you would be some place you did not wish to be.
Clark looked into the wellspring of worlds and what he seen was one chance to get free.
He tossed Zeus in when the mark was coming up and then he grabbed onto Diana.
“What will your parents” say she whispered.
“Lets get home first” he said
“I am more worried about what your father will say” Clark smiled and looked into her eyes and gently kissed her lips.
Diana was lost in the moment , carried away by the tide of simply being some place other then this hell.
“we have lived this life far to long” she hugged him and then the mark came and went and they missed it by a small step to the left.
The planet below them was filled with life. Animals of all kinds ran in the fields and climbed the trees and they were happy.
Clark and Diana longed to fly down and rest in the grass and recoup from to many lifetimes trapped on a dead world.
His armor seemed to confining all of a sudden his sword hung at his side and felt like it was a curse to him.
“How long have we been gone” he said
No ship to get them home no way out of this mess for some time.
He took a peace of his cape and tossed it away from him.
“Build me a vessel” He told the small machines , knowing the nanites would do as he said.
Diana wondered what they would do in the meantime and had their son and daughter made it back as well?
They could only hope for the best.
“you may not need your combat armor here”she pointed out that he looked hostile and threatening in his suit and Superman back home needed to inspire people not scare them.
Clark smiled and took off the armor. He felt at home in a pair of jeans a t shirt and some work boots.
Diana changed into a silk dress that nothing she did could make her look less then the soul she was.
Her gold sandals seem to say she was at last in a place where she did not have to wage war.
The world around them took no notice of the ship being built before the couple as they lay in the sun.
The yellow sun was alive and well in this place for Clark never felt better his scars were leaving him his wounds closing his capacity to think became more clear.
Diana could see the structure coming to life before her eyes.
A wonder to behold a vessel from the days of Krypton a ship to search the stars a world outside a world. A relic even to Krypton for it was an explorer ship not a war ship it had one reason and that reason was to find life and make it better then it was.
Diana missed her children , she worried over them “was Mary ok she thought to herself and was Zeus getting used to full sunlight? and how was the world back home going to take them? She could not hear her father in her head so she knew that this was not her home right away. This was some place else some place close but not home.
Clark could see the after image of a being just outside of the normal vision he was observing something he was looking right at the two of them.
Clark flew up to him and stopped right in front of him.
“Hello” Said Clark”
“Hello” Said the Watcher in shock.
Diana laughed she had seen him all along and did not seem to care.
“I am here to warn you Kal-El of Krypton , your presence in this universe will shake the foundations of history” Said the Watcher
Clark looked to Diana The watcher at Diana and stepped back a look of alarm on his face “No! Not again “ The watchers eyes grew wide the energy arced from them and he vanished.
When Clark looked back to the planet he seen a great city in the distance.
The people starving the world on the verge of decay.
The animals were thin and the plant life not enough to support the people.
He could hear a couple arguing over a child.
“we must leave him or we will die” Said the women to the man.
Clark looked at Diana whom seem to hear the words as well.
The child cried and held tight to his mothers leg whom seem to try to kick him away.
This was to much for Clark and Diana they rushed to do something.
“Gor we cannot feed you” The father screamed at the boy.
Clark and Diana seemed to appear from thin air before the group.
“Gods” they screamed.
This world was still in its prime of life Diana could see the people still huddled around fires still wearing the skins of animals.
They bowed before Clark and Diana and they did not look directly at them.
Oh my said Clark.
The sky above them became as dark as night , the worlds in the distant started to go away and Clark and Diana looked at each other as if the trap was about to be sprung yet again.
The ship was far from complete the worry in his eyes showed to Diana whom had already sprung into action her armor on her sword in hand.
His sword would only come to him in moments of great evil , in times when the result would mean life or death and there was no other way.
This time his armor covered him head to toe. It produced yellow light generators that flooded each cell. The small computers knew something and they were worried.
Clark could not stand still the energy output was to great for him to do so.
Diana looked at the two beings. One dark as night vile and evil. A horror to look at and the other her Clark her Superman garments of living light it seemed. For every pour of him gave off a powerful aura of hope.
Behind her she could feel the Watcher looking at them taking notes but he was not alone there was many many more.
What had they done wrong Diana thought.
The boy below looked up at them and he smiled.
He was cheering on Clark.
He mouthed the words.
“Superman”
