[Nickpick]

If your interested in joining, simply leave a post telling me so. So this is how it works...

People who decide to participate will choose between either...

1. Emotion (I'll give you an emotion to write about)

2. Song (I'll give you a song to write about)

3. One Sentence (I'll give you one sentence and it'll be your job to write something involving that sentence)

So you'll choose one and i'll decided what emotion/song/sentence to write about. The story can be any length and the winners will go to round 2 and the winners of Round 2 will be named Nickpick's Writer Winner.

Any questions?

[Bruce Wayne]

The day was bright, sun shining lit up the cloudy sky. A large crowd came together in downtown Metropolis. Lex Luthor’s bald head sent a glare to the bright blue sky above.

“The year is 2020; there isn’t a ‘Superman’ anymore. He left us, all alone, to fight them.”

An average sized, grown man talked into a microphone.

“The new president has saved us though, even when Brainiac came to destroy us. He stayed strong, all alone, without the man of steel!” he continued.

Bruce Wayne stands in the crowd hiding. He begins to leave, but is stopped by the man talking into the microphone.

“You sir, you claim you knew the coward” he asked.

“He wasn’t a coward, the ‘president’ had him killed.” Bruce replied.

“Take him to the prison! He tells you lies!” Lex Luthor screams over the crowd.

Many guards surrounding the podium didn’t move an inch.

“You heard him! Move, Move!” the announcer yelled, commanding the soldiers.

They began to move in on Bruce. He preformed many martial moves, blocking himself from being captured. They began launching poison tipped darts toward the rich billionaire. One hit him directly in the back, making him fall to the ground, unconscious.

Bruce rose up from a dirt floor, until a pain shot through his back.

“Luthor has lost it. Last time I talked to Clark, he said he was being sent to Krypton. “ he conversed to himself.

“Shut up in there!” a guard yelled to Bruce.

He began to walk around the cell, no windows or doors; just bars.

“Where am I?” Bruce questioned.

“Just shut it animal. Luthor told us you weren’t supposed to eat or drink.” The guard said back in an angered tone.

In the middle of the sentence, Luthor walked up to the cell.

“That will be enough Johnson. Go back to the break room, get some coffee, whatever!” Lex commanded. “Oh, Bruce, Clark told you the truth didn’t he?

Bruce rolled his eyes.

“You son of a-“ Bruce was cut off by a jolt of electricity from Lex’s taser.

“I bet you wouldn’t wanna finish that sentence. A toy my friends back at the lab made for me.” He said in a successful voice.

"Just shut it! Tell me now!" he demanded.

“He’s been sent to Krypton, as a slave.” he remarked.
Bruce pulled out a batarang, ready to strike.

“And before you try and kill me with your little gadget, I have a proposition for you.” He told the Dark Knight.

“As long as Clark is safe, I’ll follow you.” Bruce said sadly.

Luthor unlocked the door, releasing the bat. Bruce emerged from the dark, cold cell.

“But, if I hear Clark is being hurt, I’m done. And then you’ll be in here.” The Bat told his bald alliance member.

“Whatever you say, Bruce.” Luthor said, knowing he had beaten the undefeatable.

1 Year Later

Bruce stands on top of the Dailey Planet building with Lex by his side, smoke and fire cover the city below. No life is seen from the tall location above.

”You have done well” Lex said with his green armor covering his pale body.

The Man of Steel was lying on the ground in front of them with green, kryptonite infested in his blood.

“[glow=red,2,300]I sided with you even when I knew it was wrong[/glow], Lex. It caused my best friend to die; this is my fault.” Bruce said with a frown covering his face. “You made me do it.”

Bruce reaches for a batarang in his pocket.

“You made me do it.” He repeated. “You made me, and now he’s gone.”

He finds the Batarang and pulls it out of his pocket. He swings his leg around, sending Luthor to the ground with a thump. Bruce jumps on top of the armored Luthor, keeping him from standing up.

“You lose Luthor. You made me do it and now you’re done.” Bruce yelled to the man.

He raised the batarang and sent a thrust into Lex’s chest through his armor. It penetrated Luthor’s heart, making him stop breathing, forever.

“It’s done Clark. I finished it for you. Now I have to rebuild the world” he said to himself as he stood alone on the workplace of the past bulletproof man.

The scene fades out, to a smoking planet with no signs of life.

He was the last one.
