Gotham was sparkling in the early morning sunlight. It didn't seem right, Gotham and sunlight, let alone 'sparkling'. But there had been a heavy frost overnight, and so, the city was gleaming.

Clark looked, bemused, out of the window of Bruce's mid-town apartment. Wayne Tower dominated the skyline, its sharp point gleaming like the point of a sword. All the other buildings were its knights, ready to do its bidding.

Clark shook his head with a wry twist of his lips. This was why he hated mind control; he thought like this for days afterward. Still... perhaps he could start to see the appeal Gotham had for Bruce.

The city gleamed for a moment below him, like a wink.

Well, Gotham and sunlight may not sound right, but I love the image of sparkling Gotham. :) And those lines about Wayne Tower were so wonderfully written!

Well said. :)

Perfect!

I agree with those other two comments - that was brilliant! Wonderful job Star! Thank you so much for sharing this. :)

Such gorgeous imagery! Clark should get mind controlled more often, I think. ^_~

*laughs*

So Clark gets all flowery after mind control? ;)

Beautiful imagery, Star! I can imagine Gotham sparkling with frost and the impressive Wayne Tower and its Knights! ;)

Oooh, so pretty! I love the image of a frost covered Gotham winking at Clark for an instant, lol. :)
