Steampunk Part XI

Apologies for the long wait, but this one is basically all battle, and that was a problem for me. Plus, I had to do something ... terrible, at the end. You have been warned.

On a slightly brighter note, though ... y'all remember the Lexwing from the Batman/Superman animated movie? Well, not to brag or anything, but Steampunk Luthor has much better taste.

Title: The Wind At Midnight
Rating: PG-13 overall, I think.
Characters/Pairings: Bruce/Clark. Bruce, Clark, Tim, Luthor 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: You realise, of course, that this means war? Really.
Disclaimer: Characters are not mine. Conceit inspired by James Blish's 'Cities in Flight'. Rest is mine.

1. Comment to this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.

Erin gave me V. Possibly in retribution for the fact I was late. Or my cute face was insufficiently cute ;)

Merfilly gave me N, and I think it's under the cut, but the formatting on this entry has gone severly screwy on me.
