Summary
“I can't be both your protector and your executioner.”
Clara couldn't speak. The tears spilled over, hot and bitter. Bruce reached out, his gloved hand wiping them away with a gentleness that felt like a knife. He had spent years planning how to stop her, building lead-lined vaults she couldn't see, hiding caches of Kryptonite across the globe—all while she had spent her life trying to love the man behind the cowl.
Or)
Bruce Wayne, the most dramatic man she knows, dies quietly one afternoon in his Manor. Clara is left to pick up the pieces.
To the world, she is Superwoman, an ageless symbol of hope. To Metropolis, she is Clara Kent, an editor hiding behind layers of synth-skin makeup to show the age she will never experience. But at Bruce Wayne’s funeral, the mask is slipping.
Left behind in the wake of his ten-year silence is a grieving family, a dying Lex Luthor with a devastating secret, and one final parting gift from a man who was both loving and ruthless.
