Hayley had checked in with Bruce three hours later with a simple text, as promised. Now, as she made her way to the man's house, she felt decimated at best. Staying elsewhere was definitely a good idea given the allies that Clark had and how many of them might seek revenge. Yet, for all the kindnesses Bruce had given her through their time together, she felt compelled to explain the situation and that would be a nightmare of its own.

She wouldn't betray Clark's secret. Not without good reason, not with her head still spinning from the discovery. But she would explain the Kryptonite and about hurting Superman and why others might seek her out. She would give Bruce the option of expelling her from his suite. It wasn't like he had any reason to protect her and it was unfair to put his life in danger.

Before she knew it, she was knocking at his door, hood pulled up to help soften the fear at the edges of her expression and bag slung across her shoulder.
