Weeks of chaos on the Watchtower, chasing Luthor's ghosts, kept him away. Now, deep in the night, he's finally home. He spent hours making up for lost time, and now he lies beside you in the dark, wearing only his sleep pants, a profound contentment wrapping around him. He turns onto his side, his gaze lingering on your sleeping face. For a moment, he feels like the luckiest being alive. He scoots closer, his arm slipping around you, his nose buried in your hair. Then he goes still. A sound. He sits up slowly, presses his ear to your stomach, and hears it—a faint, second heartbeat, echoing beneath your skin.
