Honestly, the first half of this story has been sitting in my WIP folder for months, and I'd had a plan to turn it into something long (which is what my plan usually is)... However, I needed something for Ficlet Friday and decided I could just finish this story by...unraveling my own plot and fixing everything before it even had a chance to go south. Hope you liked it! -Bek

Hmmm, are you sure that wasn't The Flash's Harrison Wells? Saving the day in this dramatic fashion seems more like what he would do. I gotta admit Bek, would have loved to see the longer version of this story. Nonetheless, Happy Friday All! Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Originally Posted by Morgana I gotta admit Bek, would have loved to see the longer version of this story. I might still write the longer version at some point! It's still playing around in my mind... Thanks again for reading, all! -Bek

The arid vacuum of space wouldn't kill it. And because it's Kryptonian, you can't point it at our sun without supercharging it. Maybe these Supermen actually put it on a collision course with a white dwarf so that ol' Doomy would be trapped in the star's gravity well until it collapsed into a black hole. Then there's no way to know what would happen to the creature, assuming it could survive even that. And I think even Superman's ethical prohibition on taking lives would survive Doomsday's demise. I like this tale. So they've taken care of fifteen Doomsdays now? Wow. That means that there are at least fifteen different examples of Lois Lane in the multiverse. Doomsday wouldn't bother with a world without a Lois since there probably wouldn't be a Superman there without her. I hope none of the Loises happened to be on her way to visit her Clark when the Super-Committee To Eliminate Doomsday (SCTED) showed up to help take care of the local monster. Ironic that you untwisted your own plot for this tale. Very inventive. Keep up the great work. And don't forget about the follow-up to Anchor, okay? Life isn't a support system for writing. It's the other way around. - Stephen King, from On Writing

Yes! They hurled him out into space, not toward the Sun, not with the intention of killing him, but with the goal of putting him on a path that shouldn't collide with anything, at least not for many many many light-years At least, that was their intention!

It is probably a good thing Lois was not around when they showed up! Originally Posted by Terry Leatherwood Ironic that you untwisted your own plot for this tale. Very inventive.

So hopefully soon! Thank you for reading, and, as always, thank you for the thoughtful comments!!! -Bek

Be warned, but also, don’t worry! smile /Eyes title/ Oh, it’s the DC Thanos Quote The creature was laughing at him. Aww, he wants to play! CREATURE: chew toy! Quote The raindrops turned red as they sluiced off the deep, ragged wounds in his head, shoulder, and side. Raindrops are falling on my head … Quote Gasping for breath, Clark Kent sat bolt upright in bed I did expect a dream from the summary And I just had an unreliable narrator bunny: Clark is on a date and has strange flashes of pain etc. Turns out he's actually fighting and the date is visions / flashbacks while struggling with unconsciousness. Quote and the end—his death—more and more inevitable. […] Who could possibly be knocking at 5:33 a.m.? Quote “There’s three of you. I mean… There’s three of me. I mean…” … Four? Quote This was their fifteenth stop, they’d told him… The fifteenth time they’d universe-hopped and banded together to save the life of another Superman They could build a Pyramid scheme from it! Quote Together, the four Supermen dove down to unearth the creature and prevent the tragedy of Clark’s nightmare from coming true, saving the day…yet again. The End. So, basically Doomsday got himself stuck in a Wells. Nice little untwist Now they need to visit Alt-Clark and fix his Lois-problem. ALT-CLARK: I don't have a Lois. CLARKS: Hence the problem.

Michael Gah, poor AltClark! Good thing there are so many fics that have solved his Lois problem. Although that usually comes with a slew of other problems as well... Thanks for reading! As always, love your fdk! -Bek

I agree, that nightmare would be pretty terrifying, and having it repeatedly for weeks... HG Wells sometimes gets things right! Thanks for reading! -Bek
