Clark looked around at all the colorfully costumed people about him. There were swirls of black and orange, silver and gold, and a great deal of purple too. Sparkly masks completed people's outfits, many with capes or cloaks too.

Pumpkins with candles in them glowed in the darkness of their surroundings, paper bats and witches on broomsticks hung from the ceiling, casting shadows against the walls.

Clark smiled. He could tell who everyone was, of course. It was just as obvious as how much fun everyone was having. It wasn't often that almost everyone in the meta-human community could get together like this, and everyone was taking full advantage of the time to relax and let their hair down.

Well, almost everyone.

There was someone very important who he hadn't seen yet. Moving past the tables laden with food - apples, pumpkins, and most of all, chocolate, in various forms, Clark stepped out of the people filled room and into the brightly lit rooms of JSA headquarters. He walked down a corridor, feeling his silk cape brushing against his legs, the unfamiliar feel of the mask upon his face preventing him from being able to float down the corridor.

He opened glass doors that lead out onto a balcony and stepped outside, into the cool night. He didn't spot Bruce immediately, his friend had blended into the shadows too well. But he could hear his heartbeat, knew that he knew he was there.

"I should be in Gotham."

Clark smiled, then moved forward slightly, towards the patch of darkness the voice had come from. "I'm keeping an eye on it. Don't worry."

A shadow moved; he heard Bruce grumbling under his breath, then was finally able to see him. His smile grew. Bruce was dressed all in black, of course. He had come as a vampire, it seemed, complete with fangs.

Clark pulled him into his arms suddenly, muffling his lovers protests with a kiss. Bruce was glaring at him from under his black mask, studded with silver, but Clark didn't care. The full moon shone down upon them and Bruce was breathtaking in it's light.

"Happy Halloween, Bruce."

Bruce's hands were in his hair, he could see his tiny smile, even as he sighed and rolled his eyes. "Happy Halloween, Clark."

hehe! Love this, so much fun! :) Descriptions are just gorgeous, too. :)

Still trying to figure who Clark is disguised as... sounds almost like you have him dressed as Robin. *giggles madly* I'm imagining things, aren't I? lol!

You know, that was my first thought when you mentioned a cape and mask. XD

And I love your icon! :D
*glows with pride* XD Made it myself. Glad you like.

For some reason Bruce's little sigh and eye-roll just made me smile here. So sweet...and the image of him in a black, silver-studded mask is just wonderful. *purrs*

"I should be in Gotham."
That is so .... Bruce. He just can´t let go, can he? Unless someone makes him, that is. :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

*pets Bruce* Yeah, he was kinda grumpy here, but adorable too!

I think I totally stole idea of Bruce wearing a black, silver studded mask from you! lol

*hugs* Thank you for commenting, I'm really glad you liked it! :)

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

LOL, no, he can't. *pets him* Thankfully, Clark can make him! :p

Thank you for commenting, I'm really glad you liked it! :)

hehe! I just figured it was Robin because of the mask, and since he felt the cape on his legs, I guessed it meant that he was wearing shorts or something that left his legs uncovered. *giggles* Wouldn't it be amusing though, Superman dressed as Robin? ;) (I can't stop seeing Robin everywhere for *some* reason. I'm such a dork!)

[arch-schatten.livejournal.com]

Vampire Bruce! he's so much fun to dress up, isn't him? It's so good to see your stories out here again, Star!

I really like the idea of the JL having a costume party, hee! I bet the have really great costumes!

He walked down a corridor, feeling his silk cape brushing against his legs, the unfamiliar feel of the mask upon his face preventing him from being able to float down the corridor.

I really want to see Clark's costume, Clark with a mask is.. mmm. I like the visual a lot! and I like that he can't fly because they would recognize him, lol. I'm pretty sure it's not that hard to recognize him anyway :P

This was really sweet, and I'm happy to see your stories again! yay! thanks for sharing!

[starsandsea.livejournal.com]

LOL, I couldn't resist making Bruce a vampire! :p I hadn't realized it had been so long since I'd posted anything! Thank Jen for all the prodding she did... :)

I have no idea who Clark went as. He won't tell me!! I think either Batman or some fancy prince or something. :p Hee! I'm sure everyone knows who each other is, but they're having too much fun to spoil it. :p

I'm really glad you liked it, Mina! Thank you for commenting! *glomps*
