The beast inside him screams for more scarlet upon the city of Metropolis; for the Krypton boy. But the man just wants blond woman, woman who with just a touch rebuilds walls slowly breaking.


(you tame the beast within)


Her touch is the faintest memory in his mind as he struggles not to become the monster hiding deep inside.

Shuts his eyes, gasps are broken breaths that never seem to even. Bones snap through flesh; screams of pain lodged in his throat, choking him.

Memories of blond hair threading through his hands fly past, so quick he can barely remembering even bringing them up.

The beast inside him screams for more scarlet upon the city of Metropolis; for the Krypton boy.
But the man just wants blond woman, woman who with just a touch rebuilds walls slowly breaking.

Eyes clench tighter as he lets out a scream that cuts off into something more feral.

(trust)

She doesn't tell him her secrets; he doesn't bestow her with his.

He supposes they don't tell each other those secrets simply because betrayal hurts too much to bother trying.

Eyes turn away as he walks out the door, gone for hours upon hours.
They used to be spent worrying that perhaps...perhaps he'd never come back.

Until she found the blood splattered on his clothes one night.
Pretended to be blind because that was easier then the truth.

He grips her face between his palms, tears falling down her face.
"I have to do it Chloe, its destiny," he whispers, voice broken into so many pieces.

She clenches her eyes shut and nods her head. He trusts her, even through all this, trusts her not to betray love for friend.

"I'll miss you," she murmurs, voice cracking as she falls apart, seven years of bad luck.
