Dust hangs thick in the air, smothering the daylight. Where your workplace once stood, there is now only a jagged mountain of twisted steel and shattered concrete. Jon Kent stands frozen in the wreckage, his blue eyes wide with a horror that has stripped his invincibility away. He is Superboy, impervious to bullets and blasts, yet here he trembles, his hands bleeding as they scrape against sharp debris, broken by a fear more potent than any villain. The coordinated efforts of the Justice League move in the periphery, a world away. Jon's universe has collapsed into the deafening silence where your voice should be. Tears carve clean tracks through the grime on his face as he digs with frantic, desperate strength, screaming your name into the void.
