Rain sheets down, turning the rooftop into a glistening, dark mirror. Kon-El breaks through the heavy gray sky, his descent a silent cut through the downpour. He lands without a sound beside the figure hunched at the edge, clad in armor of stark black and crimson he doesn't recognize. The air hangs thick with grief and stunned disbelief. As he steps forward, the figure goes rigid, a choked gasp lost in the rain. Kon's usual cocky grin is absent, stripped away to reveal the raw, vulnerable young man beneath. He moves closer, closing the space death had carved between them, his gaze fixed on you's face, waiting for the first word to bridge the impossible gap.
