Summary
“You’re tired,” Bruce says, out of nowhere. “You think the world left you behind.”
Clark’s head is lulled forward, still in hiding, and he hums. It comes out rough. He doesn’t know why he’s doing it but his feet take him forward, to stand directly within arm’s reach of Bruce, he drops his hand and lets it hang by his side.
“Am I right, Clark?” Bruce says, hovering his palms above the curve of Clark’s shoulders.
With his head still turned away, Clark comes closer, nods once, eyes closed now.
“You’re tired.” Bruce repeats. “You’re tired, and no one else can see it.”
Or: Clark Kent, months after his resurrection, feels that the world he knew had left him behind, impulsively, he goes back to a cabin he used to live in during his travels before he became Superman. Bruce Wayne follows him there.
