Hi,
Great part.
“I’m so sorry, sweetheart,” she murmured, stroking his hair. “But it’s for your own good.”
My God, she was actually admitting it? He was about to respond to that when fresh pain lanced through him, forcing a moan to bubble its way out of his mouth.
“My poor darling,” she whispered, kissing the side of his face. “I’m sorry it has to be this way.”
He turned his head away from her. “I...I don’t understand.”
“If I don’t keep you under control, they’ll take you away from me,” she explained kindly. “They’ll hurt you.”
“You’re...hurting me.”
“Shhh...” she hushed. “Just a few more minutes.”
That woman is crazy!
Then sensation began to creep back slowly. Bits of him started to hurt. He discovered he was shivering. And he was nauseous. “Willpower,” he muttered grimly and pulled himself painfully to his feet. One knee protested when he put his weight on it, his hands were scraped and bloodied and his side hurt, but he was otherwise intact.
Now all he had to do was walk a couple of blocks to the main street, hail a cab and within less than half an hour he’d be tucked up in a nice clean bed. Easy.
There have to be someone near him following with Kryptonite?
Not that he intended to go to Lois’s apartment. Oh, no, not this time. Not in this state, having just been assaulted by his own wife and barely able to limp along the street. Lois would think he wasn’t able to take care of himself. That he was a wimp who always ran to her whenever he was in trouble. No, enough was enough: he had no intention of admitting to Lois that Lana had attacked him.
So he was going to check into a motel for the night. He’d figure out what to do next after a good night’s sleep.
He should disappear for a couple of days until he regain is strength but tell alt. Lois what happen.
More ASAP, please.
