Don't question him, Bruce. He's got the willpower to do it.

(Once I saw the "I knew I could take you two" panel I knew this meme had to be made)

I haven't seen Injustice Batlantern and I NEED IT MANN like the ANGST from that storyline specifically would be SO GOOD! If you get my vision like oh my godd

Fic idea that came to me reading a lovely superbatlantern fic

Hal has a fat crush on Clark and keeps it on the down-low, not just because but it's a large part that he's actually dating Bruce.

Superbat approach him and carefully sus out how he would feel about joining their relationship. Hal declines, he doesn't want to be their third wheel, but Clark reassures him that he wouldn't be a third wheel. He falters, and Bruce takes over, explaining that Clark came to him with a confession about Hal.

Hal interrupts his explanation in shock that Clark likes him back and Clark is torn between confirming and trying to get back to what Bruce was saying until Bruce puts a hand on his arm and smiles at him and Hal isn't sure what the silent communication is but Clark relaxes and turns back to him and confirms.

They're both happy and slightly caught up in each other, but Hal can't stop thinking about something. "You're alright with me dating your boyfriend?" He asks Bruce, and doesn't understand why that makes Clark look down at the floor.

"I am," Bruce confirms, and that is apparently that.

Clark and Hal start dating. Clark and Bruce keep dating.

Sometimes they go off for dates on their own, a lot of the time all three of them are together. They're open with the JL, and even if Clark and Bruce were plain about their relationship they were more of a quiet intimacy, but Hal has always been loud with his love and Clark welcomes the PDA, and smiles softly when Hal double checks he's not just humouring him.

Hal was worried it would be weird to date Bruce's boyfriend, given the animosity between them for years, but finds it's easy. Bruce is a different person, soft and gentle and sometimes Hal has to catch himself and remind himself he's not dating Bruce.

But Bruce has welcomed him so wholly into their relationship that sometimes it's hard to remember and Hal realises he's starting to fall for Bruce and pushes back against that viciously. He won't fall in love with a man that hates his guts.

He jumps at the chance to leave for Oa, needs to clear his head, and bids goodbye to Clark. Two weeks later, he gets back to his flat and finds Clark there, in utter pieces. The place is a wreck, and so is Clark.

"Baby? Clark, what happened?" He asks, and Clark scrambles to sit up from the couch.

"Shit, uh. Hi, Hal. I've kind of...been staying here."

"Did the manor get attacked again?" Hal asks, concern for Bruce flashing through him, irritation right after, then back to concern when Clark's face crumples.

"No. Um. Bruce broke up with me."

Hal stops. Stares. Then nods and takes Clark to his bedroom, and holds him until he cries himself to sleep. They're soulmates, why would Bruce end that relationship? Why would he give up the love of his life?

He leaves for the Watchtower the next morning, while Clark is still asleep, and it doesn't take long to find Bruce, in a meeting room with some of the others. The others that start yelling when Hal knocks Bruce to the ground with a punch. "I was gone for two weeks, Bruce, how the hell did you fuck things up so quickly."

"Leave it, Hal. This is none of your business."

"Our— My boyfriend is crying his heart out on my couch because of you, so it is my damn business." He softens, pleading. "Bruce, why would you break his heart like this?"

Bruce scrubs a hand over his face, and Hal finally looks at him, at how he looks as bad—if not worse—as Clark does. "Don't worry, Jordan, I broke my own too. Can I please just... ask you to take care of him?"

Hal stares at him. "Bruce, he's the love of your life."

"And I don't think I'm the love of his."

Then Hal has no idea what's happened, but Diana and J'onn are suddenly gone, as is Bruce, and Oliver and Dinah are jostling Hal in the other direction.

He's not left alone when he asks it, he is when he turns on them and shoves them out the door with constructs. No one comes in to investigate as he completely destroys the room they'd shuffled him to, because everyone except Hal realised because was too stupid to notice what he was afraid of from the very beginning.

He pushed Bruce out of his own relationship.

Hal goes home, kneels at Clark's feet, swallows his pride, and begs.

Clark just smiles sadly, tears sliding silently down his cheeks, and shakes his head. "Even if I break up with you, Hal, Bruce won't take me back." Hal bows his head, muttering apologies, and Clark denies. "This isn't your fault, Hal, it's mine. I was a coward, and self-absorbed, and Bruce paid the price." Hal opens his mouth, and Clark closes it. "Do you remember when we were inviting you into our relationship? And Bruce—"

"I kept interrupting him. Shit, yeah. What was he going to say?"

Clark sobs. "That he was in love with you too."

Superbatlantern but with bruce heavily injured and going pale on a dangerous speed

Clark “how much blood do humans even have to lose?” Kent and Hal “I don’t know, I haven’t bled since I became a Lantern” Jordan trying to save Bruce “stop looking at me like that, it isn’t a lot of blood” Wayne is SO funny to me.

Back on my batlantern + superman bs, but Clark probably found out that Hal and Bruce were a lil more than teammates because of his hearing. You would think having the best hearing ever was great, especially in his line of work, which is definitely is, but Clark couldn't even tell you the countless times that was a curse!

He'd probably have stopped by the tower after forgetting something, and those 2 freaks couldn't just wait till they got back to Bruce's mansion, and just found a spare conference somewhere thinking they were alone.

Definitely a jarring experience for sure, I don't think he's ever flown home faster.
