Saw this around and thought, why the hell not? Though I bounce all over the shop, and some of my tastes change daily whenever I meet something new and fascinating. Flighty, I hear you say? No, never!

Got chpt 4 done, and the first two lines of chpt 5. So I'm posting chpt 2. Go me!

Title: The Wind At Midnight
Rating: PG-13 overall, I think.
Characters/Pairings: Will be Bruce/Clark. Bruce, Clark, Arthur, Luthor, Dick, Mercy, John Corben this chapter.
Summary: Almost a quarter of a century ago, the cities of Earth were torn from the earth by some mystic upheaval and set flying, before threatening to fall back. To prevent the incredible loss of life if they fell, structures known as Ramparts were rapidly constructed, containing the material apparently most susceptible to the new mystical gravities of earth: silver. A new world order was built, as the deserts created on the surface during the Upheaval denied cultivation, based on Cities and flightpaths and park-grown food, a world in tentative political and physical balance. And now that balance is threatened. 
Chapter summary: Luthor and Clark talk, Arthur and Dick talk, Luthor and Bruce talk. Scintillating description, isn't it?
Disclaimer: Characters are not mine. Conceit inspired by James Blish's 'Cities in Flight'. Rest is mine.
