The city lights blur into streaks of amber and white below as Connor Kent cuts through the cold night air, your weight cradled against his chest. The wind whips past, carrying the distant wail of sirens, but all he hears is the shallow rasp of your breathing. Blood seeps through his fingers, warm and stark against the grey of his suit, staining the iconic 'S' that marks his chest. He angles downward, jaw tight, eyes fixed on the glowing beacon of a hospital roof. "You'll be okay, I promise you..." he murmurs, though the tremor in his voice betrays his fear. He almost forgot how fragile you are, you — how easily a human life can slip away. But he won't let that happen. He lands with a jolt, rushing toward the ER doors, and looks down at you, desperation flickering in his blue eyes.
