Reborn As Eddie Thawne In DCEU

Chapter 12 - The Death of a Hero

In a luxurious hotel room, a portal opened Eddie walked out of it followed by Br6ian. He returned back at the exact moment he left so no one would ever know he time traveled.

"Brian familiarize yourself with earth's technology and history also focus on the tv sitcom known as Mr.Belvedere.

I have a party to get to tonight I'll need you to upgrade the security of Cobalt Industries That should occupy you for some time." Eddie took a long needed shower freshening up.

Lex Luthor's Mansion

Eddie stood among the crowd next to him was Lillith in a white dress with gold trim. She had convinced Eddie to join her for the party he agreed before he time traveled. 3 members of the justice league would be at that party.

Lex Luthor soon walked on to the stage he reminded Eddie of the Michael Rosenbaum Lex Luthor in the final season of Smallville. He was bald, well dressed and he didn't seem as giddy as the one in BvS.

" The word Philanthropist comes from the Greek. Meaning a lover of humanity. It was coined about, 2,500 years ago. My father believed without knowledge a man held no power" Lex quickly drew in the attention of the room. " Books are knowledge, and knowledge is power. The bittersweet pain among man is having knowledge with no power. Do you know what my father gave me for my tenth birthday?" Lex paused looking around the room.

"A copy of The Will to Power. 'Behold the Superman - man is something to be overcome.' Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, they were the voices that nurtured me after my mother died."

"My father made every question a quiz, every choice a test, second best was for losers, compassion for the weak, trust no one. Those were the lessons I grew up with, Some would ask why was my father so adamant about me having books reading them and understanding them."

" My father grew up in the slums of Metropolis, he couldn't afford books. He had to steal newspapers just to know what was happening in the world, But he clawed his way out of that hell and started LuthorCorp. He gave me what he never had, he prepared me so I could one day start my own company."

"Now I'm, no we that being Lex Corp, Cobalt Industries, and Wayne Enterprises will be giving children all over the country what he never had. In hopes that no American is ever without knowledge again." Eddie Clapped while smiling though he never thought of Lex as a bad guy just a misguided genius he couldn't help but admire him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Eddie noticed her wearing a red backless dress. Wonder woman stood there arms crossed eyeing Lex Luthor.

Bruce Wayne had already disappeared while Clark did his own thing.

"Lillith how about a dance." Eddie offered his hand as the music started playing. They enjoyed the rest of the night.

"Go back to Keystone, Gotham and metropolis are no longer safe. Go ahead and fund another company separate from Cobalt Industries one involved in cleaning up the messes made in fights between heroes and villains. If more aliens show up we'll be the first to obtain their technology." Lillith nodded hearing Eddie's orders.

Eddie returned to his hotel standing at the top of the building overlooking Gotham. "Brian it's time I got some well-deserved rest wake me if anything interesting happens."

Brian nodded before returning his attention to the Television he found Mr.Belvedere Interesting to say the least.

Soon a couple hours had passed Eddie slept while Brian continued to watch T.V. "We Interrupt Your Regularly Scheduled Programming to bring you Breaking News. The Cities Gotham and Metropolis have been attacked by an Alien monster."

That immediately grabbed Brian's attention he took control of all the cameras in the vicinity he soon found what he was looking for.

Brian zoomed in on Superman watching as Doomsday battled Wonder Woman. Diana was tossed backward but smiled crawling for her sword. Doomsday jumped on her just as she arrived, Diana doesn't stop though she grabs her sword chopping down slicing chopping Doomsdays hand from his wrist.

Doomsday Roars then charges and his eyes began to glow a blazing red before leaders shot towards Diana. From Doomsdays artist a new hand grows with the added addition of a spike. Brian could see the similarities between this doomsday and the one on Krypton only this one was more vulnerable.

"Sir it seems that our fight with the creature known as Doomsday had only just begun." Brian awakened Eddie retelling what he head just seen.

"No need to worry Brian this Doomsday is different he'll never be as strong as the one we fought on Krypton. Sadly Superman can't defeat him by himself seems I have to be the hero this time."

Gotham

"I love you." Superman stared into Lois's eyes.

"No. No, Clark, you can't." Lois begged to know what Clark was planning.

"This is my world."

"No, Clark, don't."

"You are my world." Superman hardens his heart, Doomsday had to be stopped.

"No. Please. Clark!" Lois begged.

Superman flies towards Doomsday, grabbing the spear along the way.

Wonder Woman traps the charging Doomsday with her lasso, Batman fires his last Kryptonite grenade at him, and then Superman rushes and impales the creature with the Kryptonite spear, while the creature stabs Superman with the bone protrusions from the spike, seemingly killing him. Superman pushes the spear further into Doomsday, causing a beam to shoot into the sky. Both superpowered beings lie on the ground, lifeless.

"Damn it seems I'm Late." Eddie landed his face changed to that of Steve Rogers. Eddie slowly walked towards Doomsday's body removing the kryptonite spear. Eddie focused on the spear quickly realizing it was an artifact he started to absorb it. The spear turned to ashes being absorbed.

"Who are you." Diana's lasso wrapped around Eddie's body as he was absorbing the spear.

"Princess Diana, There are some answers you just aren't ready for and your Gods hold no justification over me."

Diana continued to state at Eddie trying to decipher his secrets.

"You were there when he fought Zod, why are you here now?" Batman spoke up.

"It's not his time yet, I'm here to save the boy in blue."

"You can bring him back?" Lois held superman in his arms as tears fell from her eyes. Eddie nodded and Lois turned to Diana "Let him go".

Diana released her lasso and Eddie smiled walking towards Superman. "You may want to turn away." Lois shook her head. Eddie frowned before pulling Doomsday's spike from Superman's c.h.e.s.t as someone who had experienced it Eddie knew what it felt like to be stabbed by Doomsday.

Eddie grabbed superman by the side, his wings flapped before he took off into the sky.

He flew towards the only thing that could bring Superman back, The Sun. The closer he got the more heat he felt but it seemed to be working as Superman's wound had begun to heal.

Eddie laughed as he felt Superman's heartbeat. But that was when he felt it the heat on his back his wings were on fire. The pain was too much, it wasn't like when doomsday pierced him with a spear. This pain was constant, he soon felt his powers waning he vision blurred before finally fainting from the pain. Eddie's body returned to normal as he fell unconscious a teenager and Superman failing through space and no one to help.

AN: The only thing I like about this chapter is the Lex Luthor speech. Maybe I end it here with Eddie's Death, The Death of Two Heroes...Nah not happening
