Drabble: Seductive City

Before the story, I just want to apologize for how behind on everything I am. I've got pages to catch up with the flist, and I owe just about everyone e-mail, but I promise I will get caught up! Eventually...

Title: Seductive City

Author's Note: For eve_k! Unbetaed, so point and I shall correct.



Gotham looked beautiful. Mist twined around her dark towers; lights glowed in the dark. They were like will-o'-the-wisps, ready to lure the unwary traveler away from safe paths, into the mists forevermore.

Batman looked over his city.

The mist wrapped about him like a lover, muffling sound, trying to draw him in, make him one with Gotham...

"Hey. Foggy tonight." The mist parted as Superman floated to stand beside him, the colors of his costume bright against the grey-streaked surroundings.

Batman breathed in deeply, Superman's abrupt appearance drawing him back from the trance his city had pulled him into. Superman placed a hand on his shoulder, and Bruce looked into Kal's eyes, saw their unearthliness, distant and remote, and swallowed.

The hand on his shoulder tightened. Bruce reached up and placed his hand over it, squeezing softly.

They looked over the mist covered city together.

Beautiful! As always, you've got Gotham down perfectly and her hold on those who love her.

Methinks Kal understands a little. :)

Hey!!! My drabble! Yay!!! Thank you Stars, this was beautiful!
I was reading the "Legends of the Dark Knight" issue this morning, where they have those unbelievable drawings of the old Gotham architecture, so, with them before me, this just fit in perfectly!
I love how Clark appears here too, how he is a counterpoint of some kind to the lure of the city, but on the other side just as unfathomable.

*hearts Gotham* I love it so much when artists really draw the city, showing the details of the architecture... so inspiring. :)

It's true, they are! I, ah, always have Gotham as magical, lol, and Kal is a alien after all... *pets them both*

Ohh, I love this theme! Gotham swallowing Bruce whole, and Clark stopping her from taking him away, mmmmm. Supernatural Gotham is the best. And I really like how mist makes everything seem magical and outlandish, so it fits Gotham perfectly to have her pull be stronger on misty days. Awesome drabble, Star!

It's been really misty here lately, and, of course, the only thing I can think about is how Gotham would look in it... Gotham's definitely more powerful in her pull to her children, and epically Bruce, on misty days!

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