The dull and faded yellow of the taxi as it drove away from her apartment caught her eye. Her eyes focused a little more than they had been before fading back into a cloudy blue. She watched the world outside go by her and wondered a great many things, most of which were centered on the life she had lost out on. Her eyes drift to the clouds above in the clear sky, they rolled by at a steady pace and the shapes she saw caused her to smile.

There was a rustle behind her but she didn't pay any attention to it. She knew it was just Bo coming in to check on her. She had moved out over 3 months ago, close to 100 days, but who was counting? She wasn't, that was for reals, and she had no reason to count the days since she last saw him. Bo stepped up cautiously behind her and laid a hand on her shoulder to gain her attention.

"Hey Bobo."

"Kenz. You ok?" She nodded but she knew that Bo was not convinced, she looked through the window and a small smile appeared. Kenzi had chosen her apartment well, right there, in the corner she barely could see was the alley to the Dal Riata. This was the only apartment that has this view that was unoccupied and Kenzi jumped on it in no time. "Kenzi, are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late. He got stuck at the Laundromat washing his cape." Her sarcasm was not lost but she was sure he was coming back, he had to. Ever since he became the Ash he was super busy, she knew that, but still, he had to come back for her. She waited on Bo to retreat and scrunched her nose at the smell of the food. She did not want to eat. Her eyes focused on the clouds and as she drifted back into her thoughts her smile would break anyone's heart, oh, but what a smile.

She watches the clouds and sees her name in them and she chuckles at the thought that just like in the movies, just like with Louis Lane's name in the clouds, everyone would see it.

She's waiting for him to come for her, he promised he would, he promised he would never leave her. She was chasing an answer but she was lost to it, lost in the abyss the question had left her in. No sign of the answer anywhere in sight. The angels she talks to try and point her in the right direction, they tell her pretty words and things that make her cry with hope, they are her only friends in her search.

She counts the stars every night as she keeps an eye on the alleyway hoping to catch a glimpse of him, her superman.

She makes wishes on cars that pass under her window as she waits for him to come and lift her up into his arms and to show her the love he swore by.

She lets herself be taken out by Bo at least once a week, no more; she had to watch out for him. She watches the area around her as she dances with strangers and wishing each time that the stranger would be him and that each night she went out he would be there.

When she goes home after her night with Bo she's falling apart, her tears marring her face and soul as she wistfully waits for him to come and pick her up in his arms. She promised she would stay with him, she promised she would love only him and as hard as she tried to fight the spiral she was in Kenzi knew he loved her too.

Another week goes by and she had managed to eat bits here and there that Bo forced her to eat when she came by and refused to leave until she ate.

She knew tonight would be different though, somehow she knew it would be. She had not moved from her window seat in months to make sure she caught a glimpse of her Superman, but she knew something was different this time.

"Kenzi, come on, there's an event tonight and we're going. We have to." She shakes her head and stares at the darkening corner of the alley where the Dal sat. "Yes, plus he'll be there. You'll get to see him." Bo knows just what to say and Kenzi is up and flittering about to get ready. Before six she's standing on the corner of the street with Bo waiting to catch a glimpse of him but as the car pulls up and Bo pulls her in she shakes her head, nothing makes sense anymore.

"Bobo… What's happened to me?" She can't help but look at her non-aging friend and frown, something was different, she just couldn't pin – point it.

"Oh Kenz… So much has changed since you moved out of the clubhouse. It would take too long to explain."

"How… How long have I been there? Everything's foggy." Bo gives her a sad smile and places a hand on her shoulder before pulling her into a hug.

"Ten years Kenzi. I've come by three times a week to make sure you eat, make sure you get up and move about, make sure that you bathe. You don't remember it? Any of it? Dyson came by a few times, and Lauren." Kenzi shook her head again and looked down at her hands. Ten years? Wasn't it just 3 months ago she moved into her apartment?

She wants to know the answers to her questions, but she feels as if all she will be doing is chasing them.

The angels she talks to. The stars she counts in the sky. The wishes she makes on passing cars. They are the reasons she has managed to survive as long as she has. This city, this town, her home, this Metropolis is nothing else but a cage that has kept them apart. With his job as the Ash and hers a simple human Kenzi, sidekick to Bo. She sighs and watches the night go by out of the car window.

The event turned out to be the Morrígan's inauguration. Kenzi looked around the room and gave a small smile at the changes that her hero had managed to make in the Fae world. She sighed wishing that she had had more of a part in it but the time was gone and she wasn't getting it back.

She didn't know who the Morrígan was going to be, nor did she see her superman anywhere, wasn't he supposed to be here?

"He'll be here, I'm sure he's coming Kenzi." Bo smiled at her and she nodded. Dyson stood next to them frowning in worry over their human friend.

"Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late. I'm sure that he got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day." She smiles at her friends and moves into the crowd of dancers to keep herself busy as the time goes by and before she knows it they are sitting to eat. She glances up at the table where the new Morrígan was sitting. He sat next to him, his grin charming and bright as ever and she hopes he turns and looks at her.

She tries to act as Kenzi, she kept the smile on her face and the snips in her words but after the first and only time his eyes landed on her, she knew she saw pain flicker there a moment, she was falling. He turned away and focused on the new Morrígan for the rest of the night.

After the food was eaten and drinks were mostly drunk the dancing started up again and she sat waiting on him to ask her to dance. Dyson asked her a couple of times but she refused knowing that at any moment he would be there to ask her. When Bo helped her to her feet to leave she looked around to see if he was still there, but he wasn't, she smiled though, knowing that she had seen him once more.

Oh the way she smiles.

When she crawls into her never used bed that night she stared at the ceiling and gave a small sad smile and whispers out to her angels. "If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this, left without a kiss."

But oh the way she smiles. She lays there waiting for Hale to come and lift her up, pick her up into his arms. He would show her the love he promised and they would soar.

She wanted him to save her before it was too late tonight; she was waiting on her Superman.

She looked down at herself lying on the bed she had never used before that night and smiles.

Oh the way she smiles.

A whisper through the apartment caught her attention the louder it grew and her smile grew recognizing his voice. She looked around but didn't see him.

"Kenzi, wake up… Kenzi" The warmth and love in his voice had her closing her eyes to absorb as much of it as she could.

Blinking her eyes open she looked up.

"There you are. Hi you." His grin caused her to laugh before she realized it hurt to do so.

"Hale? Wha… What happened?" The tears in his eyes betrayed the happiness in them as he laughed as he dropped his head onto his knee. She looked around and realized they were all around her, her friends.

Bo, Dyson, Lauren, Vex, Trick and Hale.

"You stupid, stupid human." She looked back up at Hale and watched as his face grew closer. "Never scare me like that again, promise me." Before she could agree to the promise he lowered his mouth to hers and she knew her wait was over, she found her superman, life was not a movie, but she got her ending, her kiss.

Hey guys, so, I was listening to a song and it got me thinking about writing again. This is the first thing I've written in months and I miss it. It feels rushed to me but that may just be how I was feeling while writing it. Kudos and cookies to who figures out what song it is without looking it up!
