   Summary

   Bruce Wayne convinces himself that the best way to save the world from Superman, and the Kryptonians, after the events of Black Zero, is to eliminate any and all Kryptonians. Including Superman.

   Just another one of his contingency plans. Routine. Straightforward.

   But there was nothing routine or straightforward about accidentally falling in love with Superman along the way, outside of his Bat Persona, all Bruce-

   Nor will there be anything straight-forward or routine to have to kill him for his goals, his ideals, his planet.

   Especially as Superman is still so in love with him.

   For anyone who had wondered if things had gone a slightly more wrong angle during the Superbat love stories when Bruce had intended to kill him originally: a what if of hope, terror, betrayal, love and, inevitably loss, and the reality he has to face along with it.
