#superbat breakup but instead of my silly amicable version its like. the angsty version

[roughentumble]

ok but clark coming back after a year away and everyone's like "wtf we thought you died how did they even let you back here at work you were fired for disappearing" and he has to come up with an excuse that isnt "im superman and i was dead for a year" so he tells them a modified version of the truth, says "well i was in a coma. my boyfriend attacked me. but it was after that big fight superman had with that big monster. so the hospital was a mess they didnt even contact my mom for the longest time and when she learned she was too distressed to contact work like it didnt even occur to her. so i just vanished for a year but im back now and perry let me come back when he heard the news" and everyone's just standing there with jaws on the ground because clark. their clark. sweet farmboy kent. was ATTACKED by his BOYFRIEND so violently he FELL INTO A COMA???? THEIR CLARK?????

and the next time bruce comes around for whatever reason, trying to organize the purchase of the daily planet or something, cat grant straight up slaps him in the face and tells him that he's absolutely not welcome here and he'll be less welcome when she tells perry he's the clark's ex, and she has no idea why he didnt press charges but she WILL be calling the cops if she sees them in the same room together. and everyone's totally backing her up. and bruce, who was never told about clark's semi-accurate cover story, is just like "what the fuck is happening"
