As Brandon looked up at him in amazement the Man of Steel as he offered his hand to him again 

Superman: Come with me. You can live with me and Lois. And I can teach you how to use your powers the right way. 


Brandon hesitated at first and then.......he did take Clarks hand

And he lifted him up but

And he lifted him up but......

Brandon: I can't go with you. 

Superman: Brandon.....

Brandon: Look what I've done. To my home. To my family. To the friends I could have had. You. Lois. My mom never stopped believing there was good in me and I don't think I'll ever prove her right........if I don't make up for things on my own. 

Superman: I think your mother was right. But you going out on your own.....it may not be a wise decision. You've got a long way to make up for everything you done and......

Brandon: Exactly. I've done so many terrible things Clark. So many....that I have to work them out on my own as I did them on my own. Everything I done......was wrong. I see that now. You helped me see that cause.....I never had a real superior. A superior to guide me to the right path and see the error of my ways. So now.....it's my responsibility to clean the mess I made.  Help people instead of killing them. That's what I should have done before. And my arrogance cost me the only people who could have taught me that. I killed my parents Clark.....cause I became the monster they saw me becoming. And I can't fight that monster.....if I don't learn how to on my own. 

Superman: Brandon.......

Brandon: No. I have to. Please Superman. Try to understand......Brightburn needs me. Just like Metropolis needs you. I need to fix all the damage I done otherwise all I am is just a monster. 


Superman still wanted to talk him out of it but Brandon made it pointless for his mind was officially made up and so Clark nodded in understanding

Superman: Are you sure about this? 

Brandon: I'm not exactly sure. All I do know it's my only option. 

Superman: It doesn't have to be. I'll help if you let me.

Brandon: You already did. You showed me the right path. I now know what's really right. And what's really wrong. I never would if not for you. So thank you Clark. 


Superman nodded and Brandon turned away but.....he looked back to his new role model and gave him.....a mild grin
