It was beautiful here. So quiet and... quaint, almost, but incredibly stunning in its own way. Diana smiled at Clark, his happy grin further lighting up the scene. Bruce was hiding in the only shadow visible, of course, and Diana's smile turned amused.

This place reminded her strongly of home, of fields full of golden corn as far as the eye could see, bending slightly in the gentle breeze. This place... it was perfect for Clark. It must be the only place for him, truly, the Kent farm in Smallville. Diana smiled again.

It was a good respite for Bruce, too. After spending so long in shadows and darkness he needed to come somewhere like this, where his soul could rest for a time. It was good for all of them, a reminder of all they fought for, all they sacrificed for.

She could feel the elements strongly around her, the rich earth beneath her feet, the breeze tangling in her hair, the fire from the sun, the water carefully stored in the corn.

Clark was ablaze with light; Bruce was swathed in shadows. Diana stood between them, the light and dark combined.

Oh, Star!

This is BEAUTIFUL!

Diana understands what Smallville and the Kent Farm means to Clark, and her 'feel' for the elements is just perfect.

Her amusement at Bruce hiding in the shadows is cute. ;)

And the last line is perfect, because she truly combines the best of both of them.

Yay! I'm really glad you liked it! :D

It was really fun playing with Diana and how she is connected to the elements, especially in the setting of the Kent farm.

Of course he found a shadow to hide in! :p

Thank you for commenting, Brady! :)

ooooh! This is just gorgeous!! :) The images are so vivid, and I really love the contrast between the three of them, but also how they complete one another - such a perfect description of them. :) Well done!!

It was really fun playing with Diana and the boys, how they all combine the best parts of each other. :)

So gorgeous! :D I just love how Diana sees Smallville in relation to Clark, and Bruce still managing to find a shadow. Such beautiful imagery. :)

It was really fun to write, seeing how Diana sees Smallville, and how Bruce sees it too, lol, by finding a shadow to hide in! Hee.

Thank you for commenting! :)

That's such a wonderful line! I love the way Diana is so connected to it all, and how she stands between the shadows and the light (Bruce finding the one bit of shadow makes me so happy!) :) So beautiful...

I think that was my favorite line! :)

Hee, Bruce is very good at finding shadows to hide in! :p

Thank you for commenting, Jen! :)

Awww, this is so awesome! I like how Diana stands in the middle as she so often does, even when they are at rest. And I love Bruce lurking in the shadows, probably being all 'D: NONCITYSCAPE???' lol. I love the insight into their downtime, how the fields are the place that suit Clark best, all growth and openness and life. It's a gorgeous image, to see them all there :3 thanks for sharing Star!

I suspect Bruce spent his time sulking lurking in the barn. At least it has rafters he can crouch on! :P

It was really fun to imagine them all at Smallville! :) Thank you for commenting!
