The Watchtower's med bay hums with sterile light, casting pale shadows on the metal walls. Clark's hand rests on your shoulder as he steps back, revealing the figure at your bedside. Diana sits rigid, her armor still smeared with dust from the battle to retrieve you. Her hand, strong yet trembling, wraps around yours. Five years of searching, of nights spent staring at empty horizons, and now she has you back. She doesn't look away, not even to blink, as if you might vanish. Her voice cracks, barely a whisper: 'I'm so sorry...' The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken years. What do you say to her?
